going back to my roots but if i have to read another post talking about how robin and eddie wouldnt be friends/it would be hard for them to be friends im going to scream those two fucking terrorize steve harrington and are gay married. he knows her. from BAND.

[shorthaltsjester]

if i ever have to see another thought piece on the description of the white picket fence outside of fjord and jester’s place in mighty nein reunited indicating jester’s unhappiness in the relationship i will burn the world to the ground.

a) heteronormativity doesn’t exist in exandria !

b) fjord isn’t your Typical Male Love Interest Guy. if i ever have to read someone say that shit again i’m gonna (correctly) assume they haven’t paid attention at all to campaign 2 and any of fjord’s character arc.

c) perhaps, jester lavorre, woman who was raised on the ideology of romance novels and sexuality as exchange, might just find it uh… not a terrible thing that the white picket fence is falling apart outside since… fjord explicitly does Not feel like those romance novels to her, instead he feels comfortable. the way that a brightly painted but rarely used house might, especially when the couple in question spends most of their time adventuring together… which is an essential part of jester’s motivations throughout the campaign.

d) the reason fjord and jester seem unhappy in the reunion might be because, well, uh, whereas everyone else was getting a “vacation”, jester and fjord’s life together (specifically the fact that Fjord Loves Jester Enough To Risk The World (Momentarily) To Save Her) was the inciting action for an apocalyptic demigod being released - they Were unhappy. who wouldn’t be given those circumstances. jester nearly died, and fjord felt like the god that once saved him had now abandoned him, i am so truly sorry that their romance was not satisfactory for your vision of atypical romance (which, by the way, is literally reinforcing the restrictive romantic tropes you think you’re criticizing, so good job i guess). i would be much, much more concerned if jester and fjord Weren’t clearly dismayed.

e) both fjord and jester are individuals whose entire lives and character are defined by the expectation (both external and internal) that they behave and emote a certain way. that they’re in a relationship with someone who they feel that they can show that they are frustrated with or disagree on the layout of their house with or have different ideas on how to deal with the looming threat of a demigod is incredible. jester and fjord are emblematic of a relationship in which the characters Aren’t meant to be, but they Want to be together and they want to understand and support the other person so they work at it. we wouldn’t have conversations like “you seem disheartened..” “i am very disheartened! you almost died!” if they didn’t take the time and care to communicate with one another.

f) if you want a honeymoon era joyful queer romance, yasha and beau are right there! they are explicitly horny and in love and bright about it! if queerness is your measure of “trope breaking” i am very sorry to tell you that queer people partake in white picket fences, and i’d actually argue that in terms of Lifestyle Metaphor, beauyasha are more adherent to the whitepicket fence, nuclear familyism. this isn’t a detriment to them, just, very literally, beau works a 9-5 where she comes back to her housewife who gardens and cooks dinner and their future includes explicit reference to children. comparatively, fjord wants to address some issues in his past, jester is an artist, and both of them are interested in adventure for the foreseeable future.

g) if you truly think that a single part of laura’s description of the part-time abode of fjord and jester overrides every interaction and choice that both laura and travis make towards fjord and jester caring for each other in a deep and meaningful way that goes beyond the weird fandom constructed Man/Woman characters being portrayed by a married couple i truly, Truly have no idea why you even watch the many hours of content that cr is when you could… play/write your own shit.

Omg I don't think we've posted about Plural Layla here yet!!

I'm just gonna screenshot my Twitter thread for efficiency. Full thread and image IDs under the "read more."

[First image ID: A screenshot of the character Layla from the game Genshin Impact. Dialogue: "Hmm? But the competition isn't over yet… Oh, Layla, Layla… she's really a bundle of nerves, isn't she?" Text from Tweet: We get to meet Other Layla!! They appear to be a separate consciousness from Layla. I'm thrilled, and I realized many players may not be familiar with plurality IRL. "Second personalities" are a common trope, but what's ACTUALLY going on here? End id.]

[Second image ID: Text from Tweets: "Plurality or Multiplicity are a couple of the Plural community's preferred terms for having multiple entities within one body. It's sometimes associated with DID but also occurs in non-disordered states such as spirituality, and just in everyday people (me!). There can be marked discontinuity or amnesia when headmates "switch" and they sometimes have separate memories, as Layla demonstrates. Not always to the same extent, though! Every system is different, and some experience little to no amnesia. (Again, me!)" Image descriptions: A screenshot from the game Genshin Impact. Layla is speaking to the player character and their companion Paimon. Dialogue: "She'll probably wake up soon... No doubt, she'll be a little disoriented at first, but once she's got her bearings, she'll go and report that she shut down this disruptor." Another screenshot, with dialogue: "I don't know why, but a lot of people recommended me. I didn't sign up myself. I just woke up to find my name on the announcement board." end ID.]

[third image ID: Text from Tweets: Fiction often uses terms like "split personality" or "second personality" which isn't preferred by the Plural community. Headmates may be less-developed fragments, or they can be full-fledged individuals, human or non-human, with their own experiences and consciousnesses. Plurality, like so much of human experience, is theorizes as a spectrum. Expressions like "being at odds with oneself" or "being of two minds" are common in English in general. Some systems are very discrete, some are fluid. Some are disordered, some are not. Image description: Screenshot dialogue: "He doesn't have a second personality, but... somehow, he still seems like he's at odds with himself in some way." end ID.]

[fourth image ID: Text from Tweets: Unfortunately, the trope is often employed in fiction where headmate(s) are "evil" or violent and the other headmate(s) are "taken over" by them. This is FAR from most cases IRL, taking the very natural state of multiplicity and demonizing it. When multiplicity can be observed by others, it's likely to be in more mundane ways. I love seeing Genshin's inclusion of a plural character in a way that isn't demonized--heck, Other Layla is *helpful*! Most of the time anyway... Screenshot dialogue: Faruzan's dialogue: "Hmm? You don't remember? I sometimes see you in the library at night. You even waved at me!" Layla's dialogue: "What...? I don't remember doing that at all!" end ID.]

[fifth image ID: Text from Tweets: Of course, learning to work with others is a process, especially when we've all been through trauma. Switching can be uncontrolled; headmates can be reactive. Sadly there are fewer resources for us out there than we'd like--but the community has gathered some!

I invite anyone who wants to better understand plurality, or who may need resources surrounding it, to check out any of the below: -

tbfh, i can't stand loa twitter 😭

like so many are discussing on how to manifest and also bullshit on neville. I don't like it 😇

it makes me upset that they talk down states and how its unimportant, i mean ofc u affirming mindlessly 24/7 is gonna work, but u may ask why?? bc everyone told u and u built that assumption that affirming mindlessly will still get ur desires!

also I don't like how ppl on there make everything abt affirming..... atp idek if they're aware that it's only a method and affirming is supposed to get u into that state which then manifests. see states again, everything is a state. I feel like the reason ppl/beginner struggle to manifest is bc they don't understand the concept of manifesting. the moment u understand that methods are supposed to get u into the wish fulfilled, which makes it real in ur 4d and then THAT STATE is what produces ur desire in the 3d, ur manifesting self concept is perfect.

also the only affirmations I see on Twitter everyday are sp affirmations, it's just..... funny?😭 like man everyone there on my timeline spirals abt sp's and reposts tumblr posts without credit but loa tumblr is supposed to be bad..... chile anyway

I'm honestly glad that I started with loa here on tumblr and not Twitter, the character limits make my blood boil as well if im being fr

it's funny i got this ask today bc i just noticed last night that people are finally beginning to discuss states on loatwt and how important it is in manifesting! so, progress!!

also i believe mindless affirming works the same way subliminals do. even if your conscious mind isn't paying attention to your affirmations, your subconscious mind can still hear it and picks up on it. but i think that actually paying attention to your affirmations can be a good tool for shifting your state and getting your conscious mind acquainted with the idea of having your desire. if you're mindlessly affirming 24/7 and have a shitty mental diet the rest of the time, you might not see success. this was actually my problem a few years ago, so i speak from experience.

i do agree with you abt the affirming thing. it really irks me when people on there say affirming isn't a technique/a method. their argument is that all of your thoughts are affirmations and you're thinking all day long and therefore can never stop affirming--which is true--but i definitely think they're getting a little confused. when we say "affirming" in the community, we clearly are referring to the act of repeating affirmations. like saying "i am rich i am rich i am rich" over and over again on a loop. that is not natural (for most people). Before you knew about the law, you were still able to manifest using your thoughts, but they were your natural thoughts, not ones that you manufactured with the purpose of either manifesting your desire/getting you in the feeling of the wish fulfilled. so i definitely think that affirming is a technique.

however, we are thinking thoughts all day long, and those thoughts have the same effect as affirmations. that's why we tell you to go on a mental diet. as long as you're keeping up a mental diet, you don't have to repeat affirmations if you don't want to. and a lot of people on loatwt seem unable to differentiate the two.

someone replied to one of my tweets saying that it was impossible to manifest without affirming and whoever suggested you should do that probably hasn't been able to manifest shit. which is just so.....

first of all it was a weird thing for them to comment bc my post never said not to affirm or that affirming didn't work, and we all know (over here at least) that i recommend affirming all the time and never say it doesn't work, bc it does! but second of all, i have also shared multiple times on my page that whenever i finally started consciously manifesting it's because i stopped affirming. i still kept up a strict mental diet, but i was no longer repeating affirmations. so yeah, it's 100% possible. i mean, some people manifest just by visualizing or scripting. affirming is not necessary to manifest, and it's definitely a limiting belief to assume that you have to affirm 5 million times a day in order to manifest. (which is essentially what i tweeted and everyone got mad at me lol)

as for the focus on manifesting sps on loatwt, tbh i'm kinda glad to see it. i'm not currently manifesting an sp, but i learned about loa in 2019, and my main goal for 2019-2020 was manifesting an sp. and nooo one talked about it in the communities i was in. loatwt and loa tumblr didn't exist at the time, so i was on the loa reddit and neville goddard reddit and omg. it was mainly just a bunch of middle aged women and men who were SO mean. they were mainly manifesting money and health and jobs, which is all good! we've all been there! but if you were manifesting an sp or appearance changes they were soooo mean to you. especially since at the time i was an 18/19 year old girl, and they looked down on me sooo heavy for that. they would always tell me to move on from manifesting my sp bc "i was too young" and "i'd find someone new" etc. and if you were manifesting appearance changes, they'd tell you you just needed to manifest confidence instead and accuse you of wanting to change your face/body to appeal to the male gaze and make boys like you. and it was just so???? it was so disgusting.

so all that to say that i'm glad that there is a community on loatwt for people who are manifesting sp's without judgement. since i feel like 80% of them are young girls manifesting sps. and other parts of the internet definitely have misogynistic takes on young girls wanting love and relationships, which is gross imo.

the posting of tumblr posts without credit pisses me tf off. someone with like 2000 followers posted one of my posts with my username cropped out and i quote-retweeted it saying it was by remcycl333 on tumblr and she just ignored me and never gave me credit or acknowledged me at all. just such odd behavior. i've called it out many times but i still see people doing it.

i love my loatwt tl bc i've made lots of friends i adore on there, and i loveee twitter circle its so much fun, but every now and then i see shit that pisses me off. another thing that i've noticed with loatwt is that a lot of them have not been able to grasp the fact that everyone manifests in a different way. and that our assumptions about manifesting affect the way we manifest. for example the person i said earlier who said it was impossible to manifest without affirming. like they said that to ME of all people hahahaha it made me laugh

anyway! i still enjoy it there but i'm hoping they can have some discourse on there that we've had on here like, a year ago. such as the importance of states and how affirming isn't the only way to manifest. cuz i do see a lot of petty and useless arguments on there simply bc two people manifest in different ways. and they're always subtweeting each other it gets on my damn nerves

sorry for typing so much i just wanted to share my thoughts! <3

[dream-critical]

After recent events, I am starting to see very strong parallels between Quackity and 2021 Dream:

History of racist videos with unsatisfactory apologies: Quackity's was insufficient because the videos remained up, so he continued to financially benefit from them. Dream's apology being un-genuine is self-explanatory.

Intentional creation of a parasocial fanbase: Both Quackity and Dream continuously tweet out to their stans things like "I love you" and reinforce it with some of their comments on stream. Perhaps Quackity has not yet reached the level of Dream, but he is certainly headed there.

Toxic (and dangerous) fanbase: A consequence of the previous point, but it is definitely true now that Quackity's is become scarily similar to 2021 Dream fanbase. Even if Dream was misleading about the motivation of his stalkers, there has been one example of a USMP admin being doxxed and put in irl danger over the SMP drama (I recommend you read the thread about it, it goes into enough detail that I am inclined to believe it is true). Both Dream (in the past) and Quackity refuse to condemn this behaviour.

Platforming abusers on their SMP: Cellbit and Manatreed. The situations are slightly different because Cellbit is already a big cc, but it is unacceptable nonetheless. I wonder if Quackity will allow Cellbit to remain on the server.

General inability to apologise: Quackity and Dream have different approaches to apologies with Quackity always choosing silence and Dream deflecting and being un-genuine. Both are not acceptable ways to deal with issues that arise.

I am sure there are more things that I have missed. However, after witnessing the shitshow that was Dream and his fandom over the last few years, I would hope that people are aware of these huge red flags. I'm not saying they are the exact same, or that "Quackity is just as bad as Dream was"; I am saying that there this is a clear pattern of behaviour.

Do you agree? Do you think, perhaps in a year from now, Quackity has the potential to Dream 2.0?

The short answer from me, would be no. I don't think quackity will become dream 2.0 anytime soon or ever actually.

History of racist videos with unsatisfactory apologies

While I do agree that quackity should take down the videos, I do not think that the racist actions in his past are comparable to dreams both current and past actions. And unlike Dream Quackity has changed and also I think there's a difference between a person of colour who was in a racist friendgroup and a white republican kid making racist jokes. Though again, I do agree that quackity should delete those videos.

Intentional creation of a parasocial fanbase

I don't think it's fair to compare a man that has engineered a way to make sure his fanbase stays loyal and attacks anyone that doesn't to someone who started a passion project, got copied and spent weeks having to see former "friends" look down on his achievements telling his fanbase that he appreciates and loves them. I'm sure it's annoying as fuck to have to see dream run his mouth all day everyday and Q tweeting "thanks for the support. I love y'all ♥️" isn't to manipulate his fandom, it's just him pointedly ignoring dream and focusing on positive things imo.

Toxic (and dangerous) fanbase

I'm sorry if this makes me look like a dick but I did read the thread and idk if I believe someone claiming to have been doxxed six seperate times in the same day and then still came back to twitter like nothing happened. If it is real then sure, I hope that person is safe and doing well. But dream stans have made up serious things just to get the heat off of dreams back so I'm skeptical.

Platforming abusers on their SMP

I'm not sure Q was aware of what cellbit had done. And while I'm very very uncomfortable with cellbit, if everyone involved with the situation has said they don't want to talk about it, he has gone through therapy and claim he has changed. Then idk man. As outsiders we don't get to decide shit. Idk this one is complicated and I don't know what to tell you.

Also I think the difference between manatreed and cellbit would be that manatreed was a childhood friend of dream and cellbit and Q haven't met before. Like there is different level of involvement here I think.

General inability to apologise

Quackity generally does apologize, the only things he hasn't spoken up about is the dream situation and the racist mod. While I do wholeheartedly agree that he should talk about and apologize for the mod itself, I'd say it's different than dream just straight up not giving a shit.

TLDR; I think it is unfair to compare quackity to dream so no.

[kelcington]

Twitter kept getting worse and worse and everyday I opened it up to see what new horrible features were on there but I kept coming back. I got less enjoyment out of it every time but I have such an addiction to the format and being able to quickly scroll through tweets (especially waiting in lines for things or having short periods of downtime at work etc.) that I kept coming back. The day that my app finally updated and I saw that black X logo was the final straw for me. I deleted the app and put Tumblr in its space on my phone so now when I go to scroll mindlessly I come here instead. Idk if it'll stick, it's been years since I've been an active user but I'm back for now! My friend recommended I go through and unfollow a bunch of old inactive people and go seek out new blogs to follow so I'll probably do that soon. I'm back in hell, baby!

0:02 I hate this smell This stuffy suit These pumps that hurt to walk on

0:13 Surely, this is what’s ‘right’  ... It really doesn’t suit me after all Was this how I wanted to be growing up

0:45 I hate makeup I hate the smell How come I was told not to wear it when I was a student But the moment I became a working adult I’m supposed to wear it Just let those who want to wear it do so To begin with I hate putting anything on my face The precious time in the morning If I don’t have to do any of this I’d be able to sleep 20 more minutes

0:54 “So troublesome...”

1:00 “Wha... I haven’t gotten ready yet...!” What should I do...

If I don’t buy breakfast And rush my makeup, I might still make it Anyway I’ll just apply foundation and do my eyebrows

“I’ll just put a mask on... Huh, no way, I ran out of masks” I’ll do my hair properly And run to the train station As long as I can catch the train, I can still make it

1:03 Do I really need to go that far?

1:08 “It should be fine right? Just for today...”

1:10 “Good morning” I didn’t do anything wrong, there’s nothing to feel guilty about “Good morning” “Morning—”

1:13 “Hey, come here for a bit” “Yes?”

1:15 “Why are you not wearing makeup today?” Eh?

1:20 “What’s wrong? Did you oversleep?” “It has to be today of all days... It’s so unlike you” Eh?

“Today the client is coming too. Boss will definitely go ‘Do you still think of yourself as a student? The new hire training isn’t working well huh’” Ah...

I’m getting chided For something like this  I see... I... “Here you go”

“I’m lending you mine, use this for today” “Next time make sure to get ready before leaving the house”

1:28 I couldn’t say it That I purposely didn’t wear it

Surely, my senior is correct I’m the one at fault

Even if I say what I thought this morning I’m sure it won’t make any difference

I’m the one at fault for hating it 

For someone unsightly like me This appearance that I hate is the correct one

1:50 (Train announcement) The next stop is ... station For transferring passengers...

3 more stops until the company

1:55 (Twitter) Recommended Ultimate Office Lady Chan...   13h I can’t take it anymore, it’s so stuffy Why is it only women who have to wear makeup? It has nothing to do with my work, so why does it even matter? I want to sleep in a bit more

1:58 Eh? It’s the same as what I thought before Is she getting flamed? Or is it some big account’s tweet? The comments have opposing responses

2:04 (Twitter) Nekochan   @ nekonekoneko...   1h I never wear makeup to work lol

2:08 (Twitter) I only put on foundation and do my eyebrows~ I sleep in as much as I can People wear makeup properly to work? I go barefaced everyday and got no complaints

2:11 “It has to be today of all days... It’s so unlike you” “Next time make sure to get ready before leaving the house” “Huh” What was that all about?

2:26 What even is correct anymore I’m such a fool

When I was a kid I always believed that I could be the person I wished to be Always did as I told And endured everything I thought I was correct for doing all that

2:37 I... I... Where did I go wrong? When I noticed, I’ve already become someone so pathetic I couldn’t be anything anymore

Social Media Experiment

When tracking my social media use over a 24 hour period there wasn't anything that was really shocking to me. I feel like I already have a somewhat healthy relationship with my use on social media. Now I will admit that there are times where I have nothing going on and I spend my time distracted by my phone. That being said there are some things I did to limit my time on social media when I have nothing going on.

For this experiment I decided to keep my phone on do not disturb mode. This way I didn't get any notifications or alerts and I had to open my phone to see if I got any texts or alerts. I did this for a 24 hour period and was pleased with the results that I saw. I saw my screen time drop from 3 hours and 30 minutes to 2 hours and 16 minutes. I think that result is great because I am giving myself an extra hour that is undistracted from my phone to do some more important things. I also saw my time spent on social media dropped from 2 hours and 22 minutes to just 52 minutes, I was really pleased with this result. I think the reasons why I got the results I did from using do not disturb was because I wasn't enticed to go on the apps that were giving me notifications to get me back onto the app and use it. I had the ability to do my everyday activities without being distracted every time a notification went off.

Another thing I wanted to try out to alter my social media use was to mute some of the suggested tweets that twitter recommends off my user history and see if I spend less time on twitter. I always find myself scrolling through really entertaining threads on twitter and it always seems to take up a lot of my time. With muting these tweets that were recommended and distracting I found that those tweets that were popping up after that were things that I didn't find as interesting and just ignored it. This definitely caused me to exit twitter faster than when I did not mute certain recommended tweets.

I think going forward when I want to be undistracted by social media I can either use do not disturb or turn notifications off from certain social media apps. This helped me stay off my phone and stay focused on things I was doing. If I want to go even further to limit my social media use I can mute certain things that I find to be very distracting and grab my attention on social media. I think that will help me not get sucked into things that take all my attention away and stay on the app.

Farewell to Twitter

I joined Twitter in the summer of 2008, during a temp job in Slough. The office had blocked Facebook and I needed a social media distraction to get me through the dull day. At this time, social media was still just a fun distraction, a way to chat to friends, post photos, etc. It hadn't yet become an essential part of business or something that you could study and do as a job. I had read about twitter in the Guardian (the Guardian was my other main work distraction) and thought I'd give it a try. It took a while to get the hang of it and find people to make it fun but within less than a year, I was logging on everyday and the time I spent there only increased. I loved it. I was enthusiastic about it. It was fun and interesting. It was so simple but so clever. You could connect with so many people and just talk to then about all kinds of things.

I'd had an online life for a while at that stage. I'd spent the last ten years forming friendships with online strangers, on mailing lists and blogs. I meet some of them in real life too. When Facebook came along it turned that process upside down. It brought real-life people online. People I meet at college, at parties, on nights out with friends then became online friends. Twitter managed to do both these things. It had all the interesting people who I never meet, as well as lots of real-life friends, and people who I would didn't know at all but who had interesting things to say. I followed a lot of writers, tv and theatre people, lots of creative people, lots of funny people. I learnt a lot from all those people in my phone.

Twitter was the first online platform that I used primarily on my phone. I loved how I could disappear into my phone and catch up with what everybody else was up to while I waited for the bus or stood in a queue. I'd get a glimpse into all these different lives and the world felt smaller and I felt more connected to it all. Twitter made me feel better informed. I got these regular snapshots from around the world. I learnt weird things, I got lots of recommendations for books and tv shows, and more recently newsletters and podcasts. It widened my cultural horizon.

I loved the twitter chatter for big tv events. I remember watching the final series of Love/Hate and everyone tweeting during the ad breaks. I'm going to have to find a real-life group to watch Eurovision with next year because I won't be able to watch it with twitter.

A big part of why I've decided twitter after all these years is because it feels a bit weird and gross to be there, that in some way I'm supporting or endorsing the poisonous troll by still spending time on the site. It's also got quieter and I think a lot of people are pausing before they tweet and then maybe not hitting send. I think it's been that way for a while. The thoughtful, informative people I follow are now worrying about the kinds of replies they'll get, or going the wrong kind of viral, or things not coming across the way they meant it. I worry about those things.

I tried Mastadon and it seems fine. The thing that put me off was that's it is too much like twitter. People try to tell you it's like the early days of twitter, but I don't think that's true. It may be a new platform but it already feels twitter shaped. That may change and it will become a brand new thing but right now, people are posting how they post on twitter and I realised I'm tired of that. I'm fed up of the performative tweets, the fast reactions and the terminally onlineness of it all. I want out but I'm still finding it really hard to leave. Even though twitter is a lot quieter recently, I'm still afraid I'll miss something. I will miss the connected feeling I got from it but I need to acknowledge that really that's already gone and has been for a while.

It was fun while it lasted.

7 Healthy Eating Habits To Start Today For the majority of us, remaining fit and smooth (or turning into that way!) is something we contemplate frequently. However trying a lot of insane weight control plans or purges isn't the best approach. Individuals become fixated on The thing they are eating and don't invest close to as much energy pondering HOW they are eating. Your dietary patterns are frightfully misjudged and neglected with regards to accomplishing ideal wellbeing and an incredible body. In The present video Cures One will examine 7 Smart dieting Propensities TO Begin TODAY! 1. They Will generally Adhere to Something very similar "Everyday Menu", Most of fit individuals say they eat for all intents and purposes similar feasts consistently, for the most part a similar breakfast, same lunch, same supper, and with regards to bites and refreshments . . . indeed, you got it, truly unsurprising food. To explain, they didn't recommend that they eat the very same dish for each feast, yet they frequently browsed three, perhaps four things that they like for breakfast, lunch, and supper. 2. They Have Breakfast, This one normal trademark is almost widespread in measurable investigations of individuals who have accomplished and kept a huge weight reduction. The vast majority of the people who have had the option to keep a weight reduction of no less than 30 pounds for essentially a year report that they generally have breakfast. 3. They Hydrate, Not pop. Not chilled tea. Outright old water. This is the big deal. Drinking sufficient water is an imperative piece of any molding program since it keeps your body working in homeostasis and helps each part of fundamentalphysical process. 4. The 9 p.m. Rule, This is precisely as it sounds. Try not to eat after 9 p.m. The later you keep awake, the more it takes your body to handle food. Assuming you should eat around evening time, ensure you are eating something light and not excessively filling. 5. They Eat Little — And Frequently, A great many people realize that little, regular dinners are totally the best way to go. Why? Since when we go longer than 3 hours without eating, our levels of the pressure chemical cortisol rise. What's more, high cortisol levels signal the body to store fat in the stomach locale. Remember too that individuals who skip dinners have the most noteworthy cortisol levels of all! 6. They Eat Entire Food varieties First, Effective fit individuals will more often than not eat essentially entire, natural food varieties, including natural products, veggies, and entire grains (and items produced using entire grains). Surely they partake in a periodic treat, however 80% of the time or more, their inclination prompts entire food sources. 7.

Learning how to utilize SEO concepts for growth on social media.

Hello and welcome back to Culinary Confidence. Today, we will talk about coffee. In order to make the most perfect cup of coffee you will need to begin with the right type of milk. Now, before everyone starts to freak out..you can choose your own personal preference on this one. I chose whole milk because it will make the most foam in my latte. Start with your favorite coffee mug. Next, pour your espresso or coffee one third a way up in the mug. We will then use a Nespresso milk frother and pour in our milk.Click the button in the center of the device until it turns red. You can also hold this same button down until it turns blue and it will make cold foam. This device will make the most perfectly fluffy warm milk for the top of your latte. Once the device is done you will notice the light will turn off, then slowly pour it over your coffee and mix with a swirling motion of the cup. You can also put cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the drink for decoration. Now step back and enjoy your perfectly made cup of coffee before the day begins. Now, i wanted to promote the Nespresso milk frother because I use it everyday and I am in love. Please click the link on my Twitter in order to enter for a chance to win a free Nespresso milk frother.I am happy to announce that my culinary blog has attracted many cooks to reach out to me on social media for tips on their cooking, how to start their own blog, or just how to start cooking in general. If I could recommend one thing to my readers it would be, to continue to pursue your passions. The hard part is finding it, but one you have found your passion it then becomes easy to push and pursue your dreams.I did this by sharing my personal love for cooking and helping people feel comfortable and learn while they are in my kitchen. To do this  I recently posted a tweet to promote interaction and movement through my blog, it said “Visit my blog for a chance to win free Culinary Products!”.This simple yet intriguing promotion helped me gain followers for my blog, as well as increased my comments, reposts, and likes. I decided to give away a Nespresso milk frother as the free prize. This helped me to draw in more viewers and generate more flow into my blog. In this week's blog post, I wanted to discuss the importance of continually growing and altering social media accounts to fit in with social trends. By reflecting back on the SEO concept as discussed in the previous blog post, it is essential to know how to utilize social media as a tool for growth. It allows for connectivity to millions of users instantly and helps to keep the overall budget low. It also helps users and creators on these platforms to find their passion, learn a new skill, teach, observe, and connect with others on the platform. Another great way to push your success forward is to use HTML coding in the tag or by utilizing metadata to show followers a glimpse of the given topic by showing a short summary. Engaging with users in any way is going to be beneficial, so the more the merrier. Post new Tweets daily on Twitter, engage with followers on Instagram by posting stories or having promotional contests for free merchandise. By utilizing these SEO concepts it becomes easier for a connection with the audience.

Today kinda just blew right by. I had a panic attack in a dream last night, it woke me up and everything. It was pretty silly. I was in a van with Jerry Seinfeld and Joe Rogan, Joe was filming me playing guitar in the back of the van. I wasn't playing very well. He was posting it on Twitter or something, with some comment about like "pullin out the deep cuts" or something. It was stupid, really, I haven't watched any Joe Rogan anything in years, same with Seinfeld. But the concept just pumped my system full of adrenaline enough to wake me up.

I guess it's the concept of having an unfathomable amount of eyes on me. It's been a VERY long time since anyone really gave a fuck what I'm doing creatively, so that's probably what it's about. Rogan/Seinfeld representing legendary status of fame. And having some noodling on acoustic guitar, improvising, not even good shit, shared with an audience of millions... The largest crowd I've ever played music in front of was probably like... 30 people? The largest I've streamed for was like... 100-something? Those are pretty big numbers for just like everyday shit. I did do a play in college in front of a half-full theater too... But those were all different times, a lifetime ago, really. An child's play compared to millions.

I think this dream was my way of sorta demonstrating that any creative exposure or growth would have to be a steady build for me, with lots of social practice in between to work my way up to it. A massive explosion of exposure for me - someone who hasn't seen a human face in over 2 weeks, regularly goes days without human contact at all outside of throwing comments into the void of Twitch chatrooms - that would cause a shock to the system that's hard to communicate. Take the stage-fright of the average person, then put them in extreme isolation for almost 5 years, then throw them on a stage with an audience of thousands. That's what joining NoPixel whitelist was like when I got in last winter and I couldn't even make a phone call in the goddamn video game I was so anxious.

So the dream was helping confirm this issue, a feedback loop I'm kinda stuck in. Everyone in my life has been "too busy" to make time for me. It started years ago, but escalated into conflict the second I brought up the topic directly. My brother who lives 5 minutes away would refuse to come over and visit, making a pile of excuses every time. My friends up north visited me 1 time in 10 years, while I used to drive up 1.5 hours each way every weekend to babysit their daughter. My friend in Florida refused to come hang out in my streams, even though he was also a streamer; he refused to retweet my tweets or recommend my stream to his gaming friends too. So, while I still had people in my life back then, every single one of them was a one-way relationship. The second I started asking for the support and... friendship... I needed, it went immediately into conflict. All of those bridges are burned now except for one.

When your social network is "too busy" to have room for you, you simply do not get social interaction. I found that where I used to regularly play League of Legends, Starcraft and Minecraft (MP) with friends, I started playing Diablo III, Minecraft (SP) and Rimworld. I shifted into single player games automatically due to social drought. It's very hard to get used to being completely alone, but once you do get used to it, it's also really hard to go back.

That's kinda the point I'm trying to get to, but my thoughts are very scattered and fragmented tonight. I learned that pretty early, when you're away from people for long enough (like 3 days alone in the woods) social interaction suddenly gets very overwhelming. Back at the beginning, it was simply "holy fuck, another person, let me tell you my life story!" But after I started to get a LOT of very negative responses to that, and subsequently developed PTSD responses around it... well, I think you can see where I'm going. The nervousness and sensory overwhelm become something amorphous and powerful, almost Lovecraftian; hard to define and conceptualize but intuitively something that represents a big threat. The higher the stakes of the interaction - a date, a job interview, a potential client, a potential new best friend - the more devastating the loss will be when I inevitably upset them. Somehow... I hate how I don't even know all the details of my trauma responses, it's kinda ridiculous, right? They even sound stupid to me now, but when I experience them in the moment they are SO damn convincing.

So... in some ways I'm more afraid of success than I am of failure. I'm afraid of people. I see what they do to each other, how they treat each other. It makes me very sad, very scared. But reading journals on here helps me feel grounded, so thank you all for posting these. It reminds me there are good, honest people out there and that the bad ones I'm seeing are just the most dramatic examples.

The weird part is, once I get acclimated to social interactions and feel like I'm understood and supported... the confidence comes flooding back. HA! Fuck it, I'll share what that reminded me of. So I was being a complete dork and watching a YouTube video on things cats love with my cat this morning over coffee. I was having coffee, she wasn't, just wanted to clarify that. The guy who did the video had this thing at the beginning where he was talking about "cat mojo". He defined "mojo" being "ultimate confidence". "Confidence that's born of knowing that I own territory, that I'm safe in my territory and that I can secure food in that territory." He said it makes them feel whole. And I can relate. When I'm completely alone for days, living under someone else's roof, that someone else pays for, who doesn't want to pay for it, while I struggle to get a single commission or make a single sale... my mojo is just fucking gone. And I need that mojo in order to make the sales, to entertain a room, to be confident enough to believe in my work. My mojo ran completely dry yesterday. I committed to changing paths. I still don't want to, but I have accepted that I might have to in order to escape the cycle of having my legs continually swept out from under me every 2 months (at most).

I talked to my mom about this a little today, but she didn't seem to get much of it, but she got some. I think the problem is that she thinks everything in life revolves around money, and that the reason my art/music/poetry/streaming isn't a financial success is not because I don't have supportive friends, not because I am a crappy salesman, but because I'm "not creating enough value for the consumer." Corporate talk, right?

Actually, maybe the problem is that since a VERY young age, I taught myself not to use money as a motivational tool. I taught myself to use passion for motivation. I was taught of the corruptive and manipulative powers of money. How people can use their earning of money to excuse things, like being a bad person and not bettering themselves. I learned that people can use "I work very hard" as a substitute for parenting, and get away with it, too. So... this is obviously a conflict, and a point she can't really understand.

I don't really want to rehash this, to be honest, I've had that butting of heads with her thousands of times. I'm just touching on it because it came up today. But we also managed to connect on nostalgia and remind her that I am in fact a very sensitive person (many say "oversensitive" as though it doesn't mean "hypersensitive" and as though it's a... bad thing?... Another weird one to me...) who should be treated delicately, especially when I'm vulnerable or overwhelmed. I think those points got through a bit, which reassures me a bit.

I stopped smoking weed for the past few days, which is weird in this ritual of journaling in bed before going to sleep because it really was the only thing in a long time that helped me sleep all the way through the night. I stopped smoking because I'm already very paranoid and panicky and I really just didn't think amplifying it would yield good results. Again... the fear of fear feedback loop. I'm tempted to go smoke just to prove myself wrong and have a great night's sleep, I have been sleeping like shit the past few days. "Fear, her ugly face is pokin through the clouds again. Gotta stare her in the eyes and tell her this time she won't win." I wrote that ages, lifetimes ago. Maybe I need to actively engage with her a bit more, rather than just tremble and piss myself every time Doom pokes his head over the horizon.

The Day I Picked Up Dazai - Side B (1)

Links to Parts: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Final

This is the first few pages of Side B of the new Dazai novel, which was given out as free bonus for those who come to the cinema to watch the BEAST live action movie in Japan.

I said on Twitter that I will not spoil Side B any time soon, but as I have finished the translation for the first part of Side A, I think there is already enough context to move on with this one. Actually, it's pretty interesting to read and compare between 2 sides.

For that reason, I HIGHLY recommend you to read the first 3 parts of Side A that I have translated first, before moving on to this one, for better understanding. You can find the link to the tag with all Side A translations I have done in my pinned post.

Please also carefully read the notes below before progressing. - This post contains spoilers. It is not a summary, but a full translation of the first few pages of the novel. So if you plan to read the novel later yourself and think this would ruin your expectation, please stop here. · I tried to keep the translation as accurate as possible, but as I don't speak English or Japanese as my native language, I may make some mistakes or use weird words etc. This translation might not be final. I may come back and fix it later if I find any mistakes. · This is a moviegoers-only benefit, so please be extra careful when discussing it about on Twitter. Use a #spoiler tag on your tweets or your fanarts. You can share the links to this post but don't take many screenshots.

· Don’t retranslate it. [UPDATE MAY 9, 2023] You can retranslate it but please keep in mind that my translation is not perfect and some meanings will be lost through re-translation. If you are not sure about the meaning at any part, please let me know! Don’t repost this translation anywhere else out of Tumblr. If you ever decide to do it without my permission, at least don't mention my name. I don't need the credits for that. · DON’T GO TO THE AUTHORS’ OR OFFICIAL TWITTERS TO COMMENT ABOUT THE CONTENTS OF IT.

I'm sorry if that's too much but honestly all I want is for everyone to have a good experience, for those who wants to read the novels to be able to read the novels, and for those who don't want to be spoiled, to be safe from it as much as possible. If you have read and are okay with all the above, please continue to move forward and enjoy the novel. Have a good day!

A bloody corpse of a young man is lying on my front porch.

I look down at the corpse, then at the front of the house. It is a quiet morning. The apartment across the street is casting a long black shadow on the pavement in front of me. The trumpet vines planted in the hedge are rustling in the breeze, and whispering to each other in a way that human cannot decipher. Somewhere in the distance, I can hear the sound of the long-distance trucks scraping against the road surface. And there is a corpse in the middle of the stairs in front of me.

In any case, to our eyes, a corpse is always a strangely exaggerated presence. But this time it is different. This corpse blends in with the landscape, becoming one with the everyday peaceful morning scenery. After a while, I realize the reason. The corpse’s chest is moving up and down faintly. It is not a corpse, it is alive.

I look at the young man. He is all black. A high-collar black cloak, a three-piece suit, a black tie. The things that are not black are his button-down shirt, and the bandages around his head. This one is a mottled color of white and red. This color pattern reminds me of some ominous Chinese prophetic characters. The place he is lying is the middle of the stairs that leads to the front porch. The blood stains continuing down the cracked concrete stairs looks like he has been crawling.

Question. What should I do with this nearly-corpse in front of my eyes?

The answer is simple. If I touch him with the tips of my toes and put some weight on him, he will just roll down to the ground below. If I do so, then he will not be on my premise anymore. He will be on a public road. The country’s territory. All those who are in trouble within the territory of the country should be saved by the mercy of the country. An ordinary postman like me should go home and have breakfast.

I am not doing that because I am a cold and heartless person. I am doing that because it is a survival necessity. The young man’s wounds are clearly from gunshots. He has been shot multiple times. There are probably more holes in his body than I can see from here.

I look at the young man, at the road, and the sky, and at him again.

And then I start to act. First, I approach the guy and lift him up by his sides. Then I drag him by his heels into the house and lay him down on the wall-mounted bed. He is much lighter than he looks. Carrying him alone is not that much of a trouble. I check his wounds. There are many deep wounds, and the bleeding is not usual, but if he receives immediate proper treatment, it is not like he will die.

I take out my medical kit box from the back of the closet, and give him some simple first aid treatments. I put a towel under his upper body, cut his clothes with a pair of scissors to expose the wounds, and check if there is any bullet left inside. In order to stop the blood flow, I apply pressure on the pressure points: below the armpits, inner elbows, ankles, backs of knees, and tie them tightly with a clean cloth. Then I put disinfected tourniquets to the wounds to stop the bleeding. Fortunately for him, I can do this kind of first aid even with my eyes closed.

After I am done with the treatment, I look down at the young man and cross my arms. His breathing has stabilized. His respiratory system and bones seem to be intact. But he does not seem to be waking up. “It’s fine already, just kick him out.”, I can hear the angel’s voice in my head. There is nothing more stupid than treating a suspicious guy like this. I guess I should listen to that voice. That is what a wise man would do.

Before following the angel’s advice, I take another look at the young man. I don’t recognize his face. Probably not someone I know. I say probably, because the bandages covering most of his face makes it impossible to make out his features.

I feel an uneasiness in my chest.

There is something strange about this young man. It is impossible to say that seeing someone covered in blood in front of your house is not strange, but I am feeling a completely different kind of discomfort than when I first saw him. I go around and look at his face. His eyes are closed. His face is pale and tired. His breathing is so faint that it is hard to tell without paying close attention. But still, I feel a strange power coming from his presence. It’s like will power, a certain sense of trust in his own body. And more specifically, right…

It is as if the whole thing about him collapsing here is all according to his plan.

The young man opens his eyes and looks at me.

I am startled and jump up. I didn’t notice when he opened his eyes at all. He moves without any sign of movement. He looks without a sign of looking. He seems to be one of “those people”, the kind of people you will never encounter if you are to lead a normal life.

Those eyes.

I’m not a person with an excellent observation skill. But even so, just by looking at those eyes, I understand a few things right away. He probably has killed before. Not one or two digits. Hundreds of people. When you have killed that many people, you will reach the other side of the mentality that ordinary humans can possess, beyond the other shore where neither light nor gravity can reach. The spirit of those who have reached that state will be seen first in their eyes, then in their mouth. Their eyeballs become black holes, and the muscles around their mouth become organs to show the depth of their sin, not their facial expressions.

And I also know one more thing instantly.

This young man knows me.

“Who are you?”

I ask without thinking.

The voice coming out of my mouth is so cracked, I cannot believe that it’s my own voice. If I didn’t hold my leg strong, it would have backed up a step on its own.

“Who are you?”

I ask again. There is no answer. I don’t even know if he is listening. Because the light in his eyes show no reactions to my question. No matter how cold-hearted a person is, if you look at him in the eyes and throw words at him, you can still see some kind of responses. But this young man does not have any of that. Just black eyes looking at where my figure is.

I cannot say anything much in details, but I associate this young man with a certain state.

There is no heart here. Just a heart-shaped emptiness.

Just as I am thinking this, the young man opens his mouth. He is trying to say something.

To make sure I do not miss anything, I stare at his lips and listen carefully.

But he doesn’t say anything. He just opens his mouth in a certain way. He doesn’t say anything. He doesn’t show any emotions. He just changes the shape of his lips. That’s it.

“Do you know me?” I try asking. “Why did you collapse in front of my house? How did you get all those wounds?”

The young man looks at me. He opens his mouth and breathes in as if he is going to say something, but he ends up not saying anything. His mouth is quietly closed, together with a sign that it should not have been opened from the beginning.

Maybe he cannot speak? Aphasia, or probably congenital speech impediment. People can lose their voices for various reasons. Mental reasons, brain conditions. Having their throat burn in a fire, or having their pharynx removed through surgeries. However, I feel that none of those applies to this young man. There is a sign that he has been suppressing the sounds coming right up to his throat.

He can speak but he doesn’t.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to talk. But if I leave you untreated, you will die. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

He doesn’t reply. Those eyes are filled with a quiet emptiness. From that, I assume that he is listening. Because if he is deaf, there should be a reasonable amount of confusion and signs of claiming that he cannot hear.

“To treat you, or to kick you out, it is up to me to decide. As long as you don’t speak, you have no rights to decide. Is that okay? If it’s not, say something.”

The young man stares at me. A few seconds, then tens of seconds. Then he gently looks away and closes his eyes. Quietly, emotionlessly.

He can hear, he can speak. The reason he does not talk is because his door is closed. A door built of thick, huge iron that will not open now matter how hard you try.

“I see. Then I will do as I like.”

I say, my words echoing in the emptiness and dropping into the corner of the room, in the middle of nowhere.

And so begins my communal life between me and the young man.

Strictly speaking, it cannot be called a communal life. It cannot even be called nursing. It’s more like an adjustment work, a monitoring work, and a maintenance work. If I dare to put it in a terribly devious way, it is like keeping a fish. After all, the young man just lies in bed and hardly moves all day. Except for eating and going to the toilet, he is not stirring a muscle. He doesn’t react to what I say or do. It saves me some effort, but it does not feel like dealing with a human at all. I do not expect to hear words of gratitude, and it is a lot easier than dealing with rampages or complaints, but it makes me feel restless all the time. I have never experienced something like this in my life.

There is just one time, when I try to change the bandage that covers most of his face, do I get a strong resistance. That is such a quick reaction that I cannot even imagine. He quickly grabs my wrist as I try to change the bandage. His other body parts do not move at all. It is just like his hand only has turned into another creature and attacked me.

In fact, that bandage should be changed. The bandage that covers most of his face has turned gray in places, and the blood stains have darkened into a gloomy color. From a hygienic point of view, it is not in a condition for an injured person to wear. So I try to change it no matter what, but he is still resisting so stubbornly that I eventually give up. I have carefully applied disinfectant on it. He will not die.

Probably, I imagine, he is afraid that I will see his face when I change the bandage that covers it. I can see the stubbornness in the color of those hard and cold eyes. When you are resisted with such strong will, there is no choice but to back up. However, no matter how many times I try to recall after that, I cannot remember ever seeing him before. Not even in a photo. So, his worry is absolutely groundless. I think so and I actually speak it out, but there is no response from the other side.

Just do as I like.

I cook his meals, let him change his clothes, and change the bandages on his body. We do not talk. He is not speaking anyway, and I am not exactly good at conversations. So, his silence itself is a convenient thing. But somehow, I cannot get rid of the feeling that I have been put on a boat without knowing where it is going.

The time the cops appear at my house, is one of those times.

Astrology notes while listening to mitski

(most of these are my personal theories and a compilation of tweets from other astrologers on astro tw, please feel free to add more if you want)

✷ I noticed a lot of capricorn dominant/stellium people like astrology, spirituality and tarot, it must be cause of their sidereal Sagittarius stellium, but it’s good that they like these kinds of things since it can help the person be less uptight 

✷ Wanna know how your love life is gonna go this year? check your solar return, if you haven’t had your birthday yet, then put 2020 after your birthday instead of 2021, see if there’s any aspects in your 7H, for example, if your 7H in the Solar Return is aspecting Neptune, you might be more idealistic about your relationships in general, so be careful by not seeing something that’s not there! or aspecting Pluto, you’ll attract a lot of past lovers, you must also be careful not to fall into possessiveness or unhealthy habits in your relationships, this can count on Venus aspects too! but i personally think the 7H is more important

✷ Also, this has been brought up by another astro blog and they said if your Natal Chart 1H is in your 7H or 5H in your Solar Chart you’ll also be most likely to have romantic relationships that year or it will play an important role that year too (this post!)

✷ Most people that have Saturn in 7H tend to marry or get into really serious relationships rather young, it’s recommended for them to not get married until they have their Saturn return because they’ll probably get divorced (@iJadee on twitter talks a lot about this specifically, and i 100% believe its true, be careful!)

✷ Too much of virgo and libra in one chart can make someone incredibly giving and they get taken advantage of A LOT, they don't know how to put boundaries between being polite and being used, this is something they have to battle with for the rest of their lives because they probably have it since childhood, being the mediator of the family or the one everyone is counting on to be harmonious and happy and giving

✷ A person with plenty of 8H, specially in Venus, Mars and/or Saturn are NOT the type to have one-night stands, these people see sex as the ultimate sacrifice to let yourself be vulnerable with your partner, they probably were in very serious long relationships from a young age or are waiting until they get into a relationship, they are very connected to physical touch, that’s why they won’t give it to just anyone

✷ Also, now that we are in the 8H, this house doesn’t always necessary means sex or what they do with partners or their kinks, this house is way more than that, you’d figure people here will already know that, but not everyone knows. So I’ll tell you what this house means; death, heritage, your dark side, money and how you push yourself, transformation and what you can be scared of, this house has so many more meanings than sex

✷ Having gemini degrees (3°, 15°, 27°) in any planet, but specially MC and ASC, gives the person an innate ability to write and communicate, even if this person has hard aspects with Mercury, people are drawn to what they have to say, this makes someone really good at things related to marketing, or social media, publishing, selling things, etc (the original tweet!)

✷ Following the topic of degrees, if you have several degrees in a sign, like having them in Leo degrees, 5°, 17°, 29°, but not having any Leo in your chart, you can still feel like you relate to that sign to some extent, or having a lot of degrees in a same element (4°, 16°, 28° cancer degree, 8°, 20° scorpio degree, 12°, 24° pisces degree) gives a person more water attributes even if they don’t have water in their chart

✷ A Venus dominant person, or having Venus aspected the most on their chart makes a super artistic person, yes, they know how to create art and are good at it, but Mercury dominant people (especially with Venusian influence) are just as good, they add realism to beauty, they can make normal everyday things look poetic and inspiring, virgos get inspired by that, their routine and geminis by the people around them

✷ This also happens with Saturn dominant people, i think, personally, that capricorns have a way of connecting to their femininity or their softer, more delicate side, and this has nothing to do with gender, earth people normally have a gracious way of moving and a really soft, pretty way of interpreting art, a capricorn will make something like pain or obligations into art, talk about jobs and how money works and how everything is the same in a way that seems likeable, more dreamy

✷ Just gonna continue talking about capricorns lol, these people are very fatalist, they see complications and problems as something beautiful, most musicians that are capricorns or have this sign a lot in their chart use the pain that a situation has caused them and romanticize it, it's almost like they are happy difficult things happen in life to make them feel human

✷ libras don't get enough credit, these people are very ambitious and will do anything to succeed on whatever they want, they might even risk their own health for it

✷ Don't know what to gift your scorpio rising friend? Gift them a cat, scorpio risings have a Leo MC and, as we know, Leo and cats just go together, there is something about the connection a Leo placement and their cats have that nobody else ever will, don't be stupid, gift them a cat!

That's it's all for today folks, please don't send me your birth charts because i won't read them unless you pay me 🤠

[help-i-need-a-cool-username]

Been reading a lot of twitter fics recently and its got me thinking how the Avengers would actually use twitter

(written by someone who has never had a twitter lol)

Bruce — i feel like he wouldnt even have a twitter and if he did its because Tony set one up for him. He either never touches it or its on private

Tony — being a celebrity and all i feel like Pepper or someone else was responsible for the majority of his account. And then he actually got into twitter and started posting whatever he wanted. He's not actually all that active on it. Still has a massive following though

Steve — used to pretend he didnt know how it worked when Tony made him a account. He has periods of lots of activity mixed with periods of no activity. He says a lot of political stuff but the majority of his content is everyday stuff. His most popular content is whenever he tweets about learning something basic or watching a old classic. Has a massive following

Natasha — Tony also made her a account but being a spy and all she never uses it. Whenever she does come on its to embarrass or bully her teammates. Massive following

Clint — has a private account and that was only to stay in touch with his family while he was working at SHIELD. Tony couldnt find it because his account and his family's accounts were under fake names so Tony made him a account with everyone else. He only has like five original tweets and the rest are retweets. Is one of those people who's on all the time but never actually presses the like button. Has a large following solely because he happens to be a superhero

Thor — the only Avenger other than Tony to have already had a twitter (Jane and Darcy helped set it up). He knows how it works but doesnt quite grasp when he should use it. He'll try and tweet when he's off-world and doesnt understand that its not posting. He has a phone but he doesnt carry it around with him so pretty much all of his actually working twitter activity comes from him on a ipad on the couch because he's bored in the middle of day because everyone he knows has a job or something. His tweets either make sense or they dont. Has a massive following anyways

Alright now that the mains are out of the way lets talk about the others

Peter Parker — definitely has two or three accounts. His Peter account is private and his Spidey account is public. His third is either a Peter account May doesnt know about or a "intern" account where he can post about stuff that happens with the Avengers when he's not in the suit (so the Avengers don't figure out who he is and his school friends dont know he actually hangs out with the Avengers). His private account is normal high school aged twitter user stuff, Spidey account is mostly just public announcements but he does Q and As pretty frequently, and the Intern account is a lot like Natasha's in the sense its almost exclusively embarrassing content of or light bullying of the Avengers. Spidey has a massive following and Intern has a large amount. Theres a lot of controversy over whether the Intern account is real despite Tony Stark saying it is because all Stark employees have to sign a form saying they won't talk about what happens at work on any social platforms

Rhodey — uses twitter like a normal person. He didnt have that big a following until he got a suit. He debated turning his account private but decided not to. He does use his account as a platform occasionally

Bucky — he's like Steve, it took him a while to get into it but when he's on it he'll be on it all day. Has the same types of tweets/tweet ratio as Steve. Has no trouble embarrassing Steve online. A large following, almost entirely made of Captain America fans

Sam — a normal person twitter. Sometimes he posts about Steve or the other Avengers and thats gotten him a lot of followers

Dr. Strange — has a twitter but is never on it

Wong — has a private twitter with more followers then Strange. Will never let Strange know he has a twitter

Scott — Luis made him a twitter to help distract him after he got out of prison. He has like 15 followers but posts like he has 1.5 million followers. Really wants to make a Ant-Man account

Hope — has a twitter but for work

Hank — has a twitter but doesnt use it

Luis — a normal person twitter

Shuri — only one from Wakanda to have a Twitter. She has a lot of fun knowing people cant stop her and don't know she's talking about them (cough T'Challa cough). Im not sure if she's using her real name though. When the outreach program begins (i forgot what it was called) she makes several accounts for it

Fury — does not have a twitter

Maria — was only allowed a twitter to monitor the Avengers. Posts a few "normal" things to make the account look real (especially after SHIELD went down)

Carol — does not have a twitter. Enjoys looking at tweet screenshots though

Shaun — a normal person twitter. Private account

Katy — a normal person twitter

Did i forget anyone? I feel like im forgetting someone. Many if this gets some notes i'll do a TikTok account one

EDIT: I FORGOT WANDA AND VISION AHHHHH

Wanda — has a private account because she's smart and values privacy (also scared of public disapproval (i.e. CA:CW)). Was thinking of going public because all the Avengers (minus Bruce but he's not around) have public accounts but Clint recommended she wait till she was adult to get a public account if she wasnt sure about it now. She posted a lot of justice and political stuff when she was in Sokovia

Vision — Actually made himself a account because he wanted to feel included. Does not need a phone to tweet he can do it "mentally".

Sea i'm scared... I don't follow Harry Styles, I really don't. Like the only reason I know is what he is doing is when your and other blogs talk about him (please don't take this in a bad way, I love the way you talk about Louis) or when a tweet making fun of him appears in my Twitter feed. I don't follow his fans, I don't follow artists that are similar to him, I don't even listen to current mainstream pop music. All my social media including yt are what you can call "clean" of him. And yet google news puts an article about him everyday for me to see??? Like I know there's an option that allows me to choose that I don't want to receive news about a topic I don't like, but in that options there's never "I don't want to receive news about Harry styles" , like there is that even for Taylor and BTS that have amazing clout!! Even for Louis and like I interact a lot with him! And I never receive news about other ex 1d members... so it's not because there's a link, or maybe there's ? They are trying to sell me Harry cause I interact with Louis?. I still think is weird and scary that I don't have the option to block his name in Google news. It creeps me out!!! I don't lie when I say I don't search anything about him, I really really don't.

Hi,

On Google search, I think we used to be able to go to account settings and specifically block people/ topics. However, Google seems to have eliminated this feature.

I don’t read Google news and I am never recommended any news articles from any of them… thank God. You may want to skip that part of your daily routine.
