NEP 2020 : How can India become center for public policy education in next five years?
Instead of looking at public policy professionals to be anchored in just arts and humanities, India must create a new generation of nation builders trained in Public Policy and learn from diverse disciplines such as law, management, technology, economics, and humanities.
India is a desirable destination in the global higher education space. Our demographic dividend will allow us to have the highest population of young people globally over the next decade. We need to reset our higher education offerings that will be in sync with our nation’s emerging needs and our region and the world.
When we take a closer look at the arena of public policy, specifically – India’s Act East policy has far-reaching implications in entire Southeast Asia. Over the years, China’s policies ranging from greater engagement with ASEAN, the formation of the Shangai Cooperation Organisation, debt diplomacy, and the recent Belt Road Initiative, show a reordering of the regional dynamics.
The US-China standoff, changing relations between countries in the middle east, etc., will lead to the emergence of new world order.
Domestically speaking, the repealing of close to 1500 acts during the 2014 to 2019 Lok Sabha tenure is an impressive feat considering that less than 2000 acts were repealed over the previous six decades. The emphasis on “Minimum Government Maximum Governance” and attempts to increase the “Ease of Doing Business” all point to a fresh impetus to change the way governance was done in India till recently.
As the 2012 article by CommonWealth Foundation says – “Governance is too important and complex to be left to governments alone.” Good governance will be brought about only when Society, Businesses, and Government come together and explore ways of working together to usher in more citizen-centric governance mechanisms. For a long time, in India and many other countries, public policymaking has been the domain of mainly the bureaucracy. What began in the UK under John Major, the “Citizen Charter” movement, has over the last decade resulted in various states starting to deliver the “Right to Public Services.”
Innovation in different fields: Further innovation by multiple states like Delhi, Karnataka, and other states, many public services are being offered at the doorstep. Other stakeholders’ inputs and opinions are rarely sought in a welcoming manner, and even if suggestions are received, they are less likely to be incorporated. The journey of “Changing the way we govern ourselves” demands the best and the brightest to be involved in nation-building and continue to become more citizen and business-friendly.
NEP aims to increase gross enrollment ratio: The National Education Policy 2020 rightly identifies the need to double the Gross Enrollment Ration to 50 percent by 2035 from the GER of 2018, which stood at 26.3 percent. The higher educational institutions across disciplines will have to add over three crore seats.
New generation of nation-builders: Instead of looking at public policy professionals to be anchored in just arts and humanities, India must create a new generation of nation builders trained in Public Policy and learn from diverse disciplines such as law, management, technology, economics, and humanities.
In addition to the reconfiguration of geopolitics, innovation in public services delivery, rapid advances in technology, and its implications necessitate progressive regulation to protect the privacy and thwart the threat of a jobless future. All of this adds to the need for professionalizing public policy. NEP rightfully encourages holistic and multidisciplinary education.
Emphasis must be to provide lifelong learning as compared to the long-standing – “finish college” and then “start working” mindset.
The logical fallout from NEP should lead well-functioning higher educational Institutions to dream big and move away from centrally controlled by cumbersome and lengthy Government regulations. NEP implementation should encourage them to become board-administered autonomous institutions that will respond to the country’s diverse needs and beyond.
The present-day, low-trust, high-touch regulatory approach needs to be replaced with a trust-but-verify mode, giving the better performing institutions greater autonomy to develop long-term roadmaps for emerging areas like public policy.
Different public policy courses: Public policy courses designed to keep Indian ethos with the western public policy frameworks will be essential ingredients to move towards a better-governed nation given the above set of conditions. Our students and faculty must blend ancient wisdom from texts like Kautilya’s Arthashastra, Bhartrihari’s Niti Shatakam, and others that capture the local realities and cultural context.
These texts cover various aspects of governance, ranging from ethics, economics, law, politics, military, spies, intelligence to logistics when combined with proven western governance mechanisms that have given excellent results.
With every crisis comes an opportunity to leapfrog to a new normal. Many lessons from India are relevant to the Commonwealth countries, South and Southeast Asian countries that share similar governance mechanisms.
As cooperative federalism is taking more center stage, many more opportunities will open up at the state level along with the national level for bringing in these reforms in the government sector. Many new areas are getting deregulated and opened up.
Many businesses will look out for public policy specialists who can advise them during this transitionary phase. India’s CSR spends from BSE 100 companies itself crossed 10,000 crores in FY19-20. Also, many not-for-profits raise large grants nationally and internationally will benefit from professionals with a good grounding in public policy education.
All the above aspects augur well for India powered by the National Education Policy to become a hotbed for public policy education. India will become a powerhouse for innovations that will usher in a citizen-centric and inclusive future for all.

I have watched/listened to, I dunno, a small to moderate amount of actual play tabletop campaign series... serieses? What is the plural of series?
Okay, before we get distracted: while I do so, I'm constantly thinking about what I would and wouldn't want to emulate from them if I were a player or GM in my own campaign. I have a couple of mostly-unrelated thoughts on this topic:
I actually have no idea how close these things are to a typical home tabletop roleplay game; I have been in... a little bit of one... once? Doesn't seem like a big enough sample size. Obviously, it's clear to me that there's a big difference between the ones where there's a set output format and in some sense it's heavily preplanned/"scripted" (live stage shows with a time limit; shows with elaborate physical props like dimension 20) and, you know, the shows that don't have those, but I'm sure there are much more subtle things that you do only when you're recording something for an audience that I wouldn't easily pick up on.
Even though the amounts of each roleplay group I've experienced besides the one I've watched hours of are like [two episodes, four episodes, about 10 minutes, one season], it's really obvious that everyone's strengths and weaknesses are different, to the extent that "actual play D&D" really doesn't fundamentally describe the same thing. Some groups seem, besides the DM, actively bad at the D&D part itself and the "rules" are more of an inspiration source for some professional-tier storytellers/roleplayers who are really using that skill. Contrast, I guess, with critical role, who seem to more actively be playing the game itself (neither of which is better or worse, obviously; it's just different).
My biggest pet peeve, that I'm really curious about the prevalence of, is when the GM presents the players with a problem, multiple players come up with ways to solve it that don't really engage with each other, that's kind of the end of the thought, and they say "okay each of our characters does their plan" and they all roll separately. I dunno, like... I guess when you say it that way it sounds fine. But it doesn't lend itself to, I guess, stuff like narrative drama? I thought I had a better way to describe this in my head. But, I guess, coming up with a plan that involves everyone's idea makes the successes or failures dictated by the device create a coherent narrative that everyone can contribute narrative ideas to, while everyone splitting up to (let's say) sneak into an area and one person getting caught usually just leads to the invalidation of the potential storylines of all of the other potentially clever ways to get past the challenge.
Related to that, and more generally: I like to think I would run tabletop in a very specific way: that of "the best, most compelling story is the one we're trying to create." For example, I would actively want my GM to decide how many wolves are around the corner based partially on the current state of the party, not necessarily because they wrote that down beforehand. To me, that's not a betrayal of the system we decided wherein the better my character is built the more successful they are! I would want to play tabletop more as a collaborative writing exercise than as a video game, I guess. I find "clever ways to skip boss encounters" actively annoying unless the clever way is cool, and makes a cool story, and feels good, which it often does but often doesn't! If not, it's just wasted story potential, wasted emotion potential really. The goal is to feel something. I'm not saying de-weight the dice, to be clear; the dice are also a way to feel something! I'm saying, engineer the scenario so each time you roll the dice, you have the maximum chance of feeling something because of it.
Yeah, I think about this a lot for someone who will likely not experience these things any time soon.
(If you're looking for recs: I don't think Oxventure is the sort I'd do a specific rec for since a lot of the draw is enjoying the people and just how they interact, but I do really like all of them and have watched it by far the most; the early bits of TAZ I've listened to give me similar vibes but I hear the worldbuilding gets pretty good later; I don't like how crit role does combat descriptions and I don't have the time to commit to understand the melodrama so I passed on it; I haven't gotten into friends at the table but I bet I would find them the most compelling if I did; their creative abilities seem off-the-charts but I have trouble parsing the voices...
...and I watched the first dimension 20 season and that one does get a straight up recommendation, because wow they are good at what they do; I would say the high-energy style is not actually my style but if you're gonna do that they do it in a way that I bet almost no one can
Still looking for a show that feels like, "oh, this is me." Not actively looking, but.).

Content Creation 101: How to Create Compelling Content That Converts
If you’re a business owner, you know that creating compelling content is essential to driving conversions. But what exactly makes for compelling content? In this blog post, we’ll explore content creation 101 – how to create material that’s both effective and engaging. We’ll touch on topics like understanding your audience and using strong headlines. So if you’re ready to learn more about how to make your content work for you, read on!
Content Creation 101: The Basics
Creating content can be a daunting task, especially if you’re new to the process. But don’t worry – we’re here to help! In this blog post, we’ll go over some of the basics of content creation, including tips on how to come up with ideas, produce quality writing, and format your content for maximum impact. So let’s get started!

Once you have a few ideas down on paper (or saved in a document), it’s time to start fleshing them out into full-fledged articles. This is where things like proper grammar and spelling become important – after all, you want your readers to take you seriously! However, don’t get too bogged down in perfectionism – remember that even the best writers make mistakes from time to time. Just do your best and proofread your work before hitting publish.
Finally, once your article is complete, it’s important to think about how you want to format it for maximum impact. Breaking up your text with headings and subheadings can help make long pieces more digestible for readers. Including images or videos can also be a great way to add visual interest (and break up blocks of text).

3. Finally, don’t forget about SEO! Keywords are still important when it comes to ranking on search engines and driving traffic to your site. Use relevant keywords throughout your content so that both people and search engine spiders can find it easily.

JP-03 (Final Effect)
“What we have here, gentlemen, is the JP-03. It is the Empire’s newest multi-purpose fighter craft. It is capable of both space and terrestrial operations, and although it is focused primarily on fighter-to-fighter combat, it can also execute operations in a bomber role and as an air support craft.”
“What’s with the wings?” someone asked.
Blakey smiled. “Naturally, we don’t have all of the information about the JP-03 at this time. However, our friends in the Empire have seen fit to share some information since we’ll be facing it during the upcoming joint exercises next month. In the interests of fair play - and because they really want to put this thing through its pace - they’ve decided to forward us some information.”
Blakey gestured, and the holographic display put up some numbers. “Feast your eyes on the glory that is the JP-03′s testing numbers.”
“Son of a bitch,” someone else muttered. “Are these real?”
Sazh XI frowned. “Ma’am, with all due respect, are we sure the Dia-Farron aren’t pranking us? I’ve faced the G-17 Goshawk. It’s the Empire’s current lead fighter craft. It’s an excellent fighter. It can’t quite match our own B-12 Blitz, but the G-17 is getting on in years. If these numbers are accurate...”
“The JP-03 claims to have a 115% increase in maximum speed, and an overall increase of 225% in combat manoeuvrability, along with an increase of 200% in effective firepower. It’s sensor array is 200% as effective as the G-17′s.” Blakey grinned. “During my last trip to the Empire, I had the pleasure of seeing the G-17 in action. I believe these numbers to be correct.”
Sazh shook his head. “Then I’d say we’re going to have some trouble during the joint exercises, ma’am.” He glanced around at his fellow Winged Lancers. “We’re the best ma’am, but they’re no slouches over in the Empire. If we were on even footing, technologically, I’d give us good odds of winning again. But this? We’re looking at a fighter that trumps the B-12 by significant margins in every meaningful combat category. They’re faster, more agile, more heavily armed, and have better sensors. Assuming the pilot behind the stick isn’t an idiot, we’re going to have a tough time out there.”
“Which is why we will temper our expectations accordingly,” Blakey explained. “However, I wanted to give you a heads up, so you know what you’re up again. I also want you to pay close attention when you’re up against the G-17. If we can replicate some of the technology, or at least get an idea of how they’re doing it, we can improve our own fighters.”
“I know the Dia-Farron are brilliant,” Sazh said. “But this has come entirely out of left field. They don’t typically focus their efforts on fighter design, and the Empire has made heavier use of drones throughout its history than the Alliance. Like I said, their fighter corps are good, but they don’t emphasise fighter combat the way we do.”
“I believe that the Empire have noticed the relative weakness of their fighter corps and are taking steps to remedy that. Previous engagements against Grimm swarms have shown that although drone fighter formations are effective means of engaging Grimm equivalents of fighter craft, they are not necessarily efficient. This is particularly clear when drone fighters are asked to take on more complex missions or to perform non-standard manoeuvres. In the interests of giving their pilots the best possible chance, they have taken a more active interest in fighter design.”
“I know Dia-Farron design,” Sazh replied. “And although there are hallmarks of that in the G-17, there’s something odd about it too.”
“This information is going to be public in the next month, which is why I am telling you now.” Blakey smiled toothily. “The Federation managed to lose a Sato. He grew up on a trash world and attracted the attention of a Dia-Farron after fixing a hyper drive.”
“With what?” some asked. “You can’t fix a hyper drive on a trash world.”
“A Dia-Farron might be able to do it,” Sazh replied. “And so did this Sato kid. What happened next?”
“As you can imagine, the Dia-Farron took him with her. He has since been adopted by her and is a Dia-Farron in all but blood. Although I do not know the exact nature of his Semblance, combined with his genius for design, it is powerful enough that the Federation tried to get him back by exerting both diplomatic and private pressure on him. The empress was not amused and has made it clear that any further attempts to take him will be met with force.”
“Well, shit,” someone said. “The kid must be something special.”
“He is,” Blakey said. “Despite not having any formal education prior to being rescued from the trash world, he is on track to receive a Dia-Farron-level PhD in engineering within the next three years. Let that sink in.”
“So... you’re telling me that the Dia-Farron managed to get their hands on a Sato, one whose intelligence and Semblance both seem perfect for designing fighter craft?” Sazh made a face. “This is going to be tricky.”
“Not just fighter craft,” Blakey said. “The Dia-Farron are, at their heart, a mischievous bunch. When they hosted me, they told me what JP stands for. It means Joint Project. Given that the JP-03 has a 3 in it, we can only conclude that he has been involved in at least two other projects.”
“I don’t suppose we could steal a Sato?” someone asked.
“Believe me, we’ve been looking to see if we’ve got any,” Blakey said. “Our own research and development is excellent, but having a Sato or two on staff would definitely accelerate it. Sadly, we don’t have any, and the Federation has been even more paranoid about potentially losing valuable personnel as of late.” Blakey grinned. “Now, since I was allowed to take some footage of the JP-03 in action, I want to hear your opinions on it.”

Author’s Notes
Coal’s Semblance and his general intellectual leanings are perfect for objective-based design. If you tell him and Galatea what they need to build and what it has to be able to do, they’ll be able to do it. And, yeah, the Federation was pissed about losing him. They raised a stink, but Averia VII pulled the whole ‘You dare? I am ruler of more than a million worlds. My word is law. Begone from my sight and never darken my door again.’ thing while telling them that Coal wasn’t going anywhere.

All you need to know about presentation design
Do you remember the excitement we used to feel during our school days when we were asked to present in front of a host audience? Some of us used to feel nervous but the level of excitement never failed to take over. That heartbeat speeding up, that nervous walk around the corridor, that anxious wait before your name is announced, those sweaty palms and forehead. Those were the days. 
Anyways, the reason for recalling those days is that you will get to learn about presentation design and how to become a presentation designer in this blog. Let’s get started. 
What is presentation design? 
Presentation design is a combination of certain elements, such as texts, graphics, fonts, color, background, graphics, etc. It is an exclusive niche of graphic design focusing on the visual representation of content which enables the audience to understand quickly and in a better way. 
What is the role of a presentation designer?
The best part about being a presentation designer is that the job role is ever-evolving. So, when it comes to constantly looking for new presentation trends and skills, there is no full stop to it. And, this is what makes the job role so much more interesting. A presentation designer needs to have a hawkeye for designs, especially when it comes to presentation slides and layouts. Starting from body language to voice modulations, every little thing plays a huge role while you are presenting in front of a host of audiences! All of these and much more fall under the category of presentation skills, which is why advice from a presentation specialist is nothing but helpful. Do not worry, you can develop these skills if you are ready to put in a little extra effort and hard work.
Talking about their everyday responsibilities:
1- A presentation designer needs to have proper knowledge of presentation programs such as PowerPoint, Google Slides, and creative suite programs like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. 
2- They need to have the ability to handle work pressure and a wide range of projects. 
3- Should be great at sustaining brand guidelines.
4- Professional presentation designers work with the internal ad external stakeholders to ensure that all brand presentations are of high quality. 
5- Another must-have for a good presentation designer is that they need to have an out-of-the-box thought process to create aesthetic designs. 
Presentation designers need to have a portfolio that showcases their best work. This resonates with prospective clients and instills confidence in your ability to elevate their representation. 
Is there anyone whom you can call a pro at all of these?
Absolutely yes!! As a presentation design services provider, EZ recognizes the importance of first impressions. We understand the field of our clients, and their intention and purpose, which enables us to create the right presentation for them.

8 Ways to Properly Promote Your Business on Social Media
Tumblr media
Social media is now playing much larger roles in our lives than it did decades ago, and one of those essential roles is social media promotion. In truth, any marketer or business owner that has not already jumped on the social media bandwagon is way behind the times. Social media promotion has revolutionized the traditional approaches to marketing businesses so that almost everything is now digitized and operations can even be conducted from devices like phones and laptops.
A key element of promotion that social media has majorly streamlined is communication. Businesses no longer have to send out one-way messages to clients and wait for ages to get back replies or no replies at all.Through social media platforms and messaging, there is a newfound speed and simplicity to business correspondences, and reaching out to potential and intending clients to promote products and services has never been much easier.
Now that millions of businesses are conducting their operations and pushing their brands on social media sites, only the businesses that are doing social media promotion the right way can succeed standing on the benefits that the phenomenon presents. Therefore, if you are looking to create more visibility for your brand and propagate a growth in revenue through increased customer patronage for your business using social media, you must take an appropriate approach to achieve this. In light of this, here are 8 ways to properly promote your business on social media. And don’t let the idea intimidate you because it’s all a lot easier than you think!
1. Start with a Goal.
A journey without a destination is no journey at all, but an aimless roaming around and a pure waste of time. In this same vein, plunging into social media marketing without starting out with set goals is a foolproof recipe for disaster.
Goals are very important because they help you know, business-wise, where you stand currently, where you want to get to, and how you are going to get there. Thus, having clear and distinct goals makes it easier for you to shape your social media content to achieve these goals.
Are you looking to boost your business’ patronage? Rack up the number of viewers or increase the reach of your content? Increase the revenue coming into your business by making direct sales on the social platforms? Develop strong customer relationships?Or create awareness to the public on important subject matters in the environment?
These are some excellent goals to base the construction of your business profile(s) when promoting on social media. For business objectives, you can create attractive posts about the products you sell, post captivating video content to share sufficient info about a service, give your followers content that showcasesthe nature of your brand, publicize business events like promotional sales, and so on. For awareness purposes, you can provide content that educates, informs, and entertains (all at once if possible!), and engage in intellectual discussions with people so that everyone can learn from one another.
2. Decide Which Platforms You Want to Focus On.
There are several social media platformsand forums on which you can opt to promote your business on. In fact, their number is ever-increasing!This is because, currently, there is a general awareness of the importance of social media promotion and communication in the business world, and the discovery of a secondary demand for niche-based platforms and forums so that distinct communities of people having similar interests can connect and interact with one another in spaces designed especially for them.
When deciding which platforms you want to focus on in terms of marketing your brand or business, you should take your customers and the nature of your business into account. Where can your target audiences be found majorly? Such platforms are where your major business profiles should be set up so you can easily connect with potential clients and them with you. Conducting research using social media demographics can help you figure out what social media sites these should be. 
In addition, which sites will suit your products and the kind of content you wish to post best?For instance, if you own a hair care line of products and want to broadcast tutorial videos for your buyers on the best ways to use the products, then YouTube is an obvious choice.
The most popular social media platforms for brand development and marketing today are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, and most recently, Tiktok. Thus, you can choose the best ones for you based on the nature of your business and the kind of content you’re set on publishing.
3. Get to Know Your Audience.
Another reason why using social media promotion is so effective is that businesses can micro-target their audiences. To do this, you have to get to know your audience first.
Start by noting the patterns among your current customers. You can do this easily by making use of social media analytics tools to track, collect, and analyze relevant trend data on customer behavior towards your social media accounts. With this sort of valuable information, you can then tailor your content to keep your customers loyal and engaged and maximize the appeal of your business to anyone who comes across your profile.
For example, if you find out through analytics that your customers or target audience are majorly active between 7:00pm and 8:00pm, then that is the exact period within which you should have your new posts put up. Some social media sites like Facebook and Instagram have inbuilt analytics tools, but you can also find many other social media analytics apps and online tools that canprovide you with this kind of data.
Additionally, as a business looking to encourage more patronage from your audience, it will also work in your favor if you are able to influence the patterns and decisions of your potential customers. Present yourself to them as an authority in whatever industry you operate under by displaying elevated levels of knowledge and expertise through your content, and you will find that people will increasingly begin to pay rapt attention to anything you have to say to them. From this, you can also successfully build a devoted community around your brand that will only continue to grow over time.
4. Stalk Your Competitor or the Brands You Like.
Yes, you read that right. You must research every move that your competition is making on their social media to know what they are doing right and how to do it better, as well as what they are doing wrong and how to avoid doing the same. While you’re certainly not looking to copy anyone, observing what your competition is doing is a quick and efficient way to learn what willwork for a business like yours and what won’t.
This doesn’t only apply to your competitors but also to the brands that you like and look up to. Take examining their social media promotion techniques as a form of inspiration to help you generate unique and failsafe ideas for your own profiles.
5. Create a Social Media Calendar.
A mistake that many businesses on social media often make is either leaving it till the last minute to figure out what they are going to post or making unscheduled and unplanned posts. This, more often than not, leads to them putting out low-quality content. Absence of pre-planning can result in more mistakes like repeated posts or forgetting to remain active on one of your accounts. 
A simple remedy is to create a social media calendar. This type of content calendar helps you avoid making mistakes and properly preparethe right things to post.It also serves as good assistant forbuilding solid strategies that will enable you meet your goals.
To make a social media calendar, you can make use of a regular notebook or planner, or even a standard calendar to pre-organize your content. What you can plan out includes yourwrite-ups or multimedia content, captions, hashtags, links, and the likes.
Remember that while having a pre-planned posting schedule will prove the most beneficial for your business on social media, spontaneity still has its perks. Real-time interaction with your customers breathes life into your business so that people know that they are dealing with much more than just a page on the internet.
6. Create Engaging Social Content.
Whatever your social media goals may be, getting people to engage with your content will always help you achieve them. Using the customer trend data that you gather from analytics tools, you can achieve high levels of engagement by molding content that people want to see.
Also, don’t forget to switch up the format of your content. There’s so many formats to choose from: informative messages or articles, inspirational quotes, eye-catching images, interesting video content, funny GIFs, and so much more. Social media platforms today also offer novel formats that you can take full advantage ofin putting out highly engaging social content, like Facebook Stories, Instagram Live videos, Twitter Polls, YouTube Shorts, and so on. Regardless of what you opt for, planning with a content calendar will help you keep all your content at its best.
Another remarkable way to optimize your content, social media profiles, and business sites to encourage maximum engagement from audiences is to work with an exceptional digital marketing agency. We at Lamar G Marketing Tree offer first-rate services and strategies that will have you hitting all of your promotional goals in no time! Our services include:

SEO Planning.

Visit our website today to discover that your business can be so much more with the right professional and promotional touch.
7. Audit What’s Working.
It is very important that you monitor the performance of your content and posts, and then make use of regular analyses to refine your social media publications so as to get better reception from your audience.Luckily, there are many online analytics tools available to help you gauge the success of your social media marketing efforts.
With every promotional effort you make, you must always work to give maximum value. Always ask yourself, “How can I add more value?” This is one of the biggest secrets to building stellar customer relationships and attaining high customer retention.
Your focus, however, should not only remain on your repeat customers but should be equally divided between that and obtaining new clients.
8. Audit What Doesn't Work.
In the same way that you retain and improve on what’s working, you must also watch out for what promotional content and strategies may not be doing so well in meeting the goals and expectations that you have set. It’s okay to go back to the drawing board and start afresh, reevaluating the things you were doing before and how you can change them so that your promotions can do better.
Be careful not to over-promote. Besides trying to make sales, your content should also be more entertaining for your audience so they are not put off by you selling yourself too hard.
And hopefully, you always get positive feedback from your audience. However, if you happen to receive any negative response, you should quickly and carefully address the situation. A little public apology or a kindly offered solution can oftentimes turn an upset customer into an applauding patron.

[QZGS meta] what’s in an OP? dawning glory (pt 3)
(part 1) (part 2) 
This is the third and last post in my little series analyzing the opening theme of The King’s Avatar Season 2! Honestly, this whole thing became way longer than I was expecting. I guess this is what happens when all my immense amount of love for this series, accumulated over years of no-donghua-updates, overlaps with my immense amount of love for anime openings. 
Watched the first and second episodes yesterday, and they really sparked a lot of joy. :D I missed Blue River so much :D
Tumblr media
Yesterday, they released the OST for Season 2, which includes the TV cut and full versions of the OP and ED, as well as two insert songs, and the instrumental versions of all of the above. I’ve yet to find anywhere that lets me download the audio files (hoping they’ll be reuploaded to youtube or bilibili soon), but in the meantime you can listen here. They’re really good songs!  https: //www. kuwo. cn/album_detail/15792659
Anyway, let’s finish up this OP analysis!
Tumblr media
Now here, we reach the true climax as we enter the chorus section. This next segment is definitely the highest-energy part of the entire opening. It’s a montage of Happy’s characters showing off their moves, timed to the music; there’s not too much deeper meaning, but damn if it doesn’t look fantastic. The animation flows from one character and scene to the next so smoothly, so beautifully, it’s just incredibly hype to see. This is what you get when you specifically choreograph/animate sequences for the opening instead of just reusing shots from the main show! (Parts of some of these shots appeared in episode 1, but I do honestly think that it’s more likely that the show reused shots from the opening than the other way around, just because of how perfectly the OP fits together. I also don’t think it’s super noticeable in-show; I’ve just been watching this obsessively.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In particular I love the line that kicks this all off: “just put on your battle armor and step onto the road to the unknown.” Specifically, though, the rhythm of the lyric is, “jiu pi shang zhan jia ta shang wei zhi qian fang,” with emphasizing accents on the -ang sounds. This isn’t how you would divide the phrase naturally, but because the (syncopated!!) melody accents these notes/syllables, the rhyming effect really stands out and it feels as clever and satisfying as a rap lyric. Moreover, the emphasis times juuust right with the attacks of Soft Mist, Steamed Bun Invasion, and Windward Formation, a perfect example of how music and visuals mutually reinforce each other for maximum cool effect. 
It’s generally easier to rhyme in Chinese than English, because of a smaller phonetic vocabulary. From the chorus onward, the key rhyme is on the “-ang” sound (think “ahng” or “ong”, not “aang” like the Avatar), which is a good choice - powerful, reverberant. The asymmetry of the syllable’s use in this section - the song’s lines are all different lengths at this part, so you’re kept on your toes as to when the pattern will reappear - helps add to the engaging excitement of the song. This is also the syllable used for most of the rhymes in the second half of the first OP. 
jiu pi shang zhan jia ta shang wei zhi qian fang
hui qi shou zhong wo jin de na shu guang
you ni men zai lu shang__
shi li liang
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I really love One Inch Ash’s design. Concealed Light had a big redesign for this season, and honestly I like it as well. And notice here that he’s holding a book - exactly how we left Luo Ji when we saw him last! 
“Waving the light clenched tightly in our hand” - that is to say, brandishing our light as our weapon, no matter what form it may take - a sword, a book, our hope and determination. 
On a purely musical note (ha), right at this point, specifically the measure beginning with “那束光,” you can hear a three-note “ooo” harmony line in the background, and wow it’s so subtle but I love it so much! A similar three-note line actually appears earlier too (during the “crossing the frozen finish line,” right as the music is building up), also to great effect.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We follow Concealed Light’s gaze upward to the building to see Deception running along the wall, from which he does a flip and slashes downward with twin blades. I love that transition a lot, but my favorite transition of this entire sequence has to be the following one:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yes! Deception’s cross slash resolves perfectly into the cross held by Little Cold Hands. It’s so fast and so natural you don’t even notice it, and that’s the absolute beauty of it. The first time I saw this, I was in awe - the animators really brought their A-game to this, far better than I ever would have dared hope for this series.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Little Cold Hands is so pretty! When we got our first art of her official design, the comments were filled with people simping for her, and honestly, valid. I’m surprised her hair is purple instead of pink, but that’s just a minor thing. 
There’s something especially powerful about how she raises her cross in time with the lyric “having you all here [with me] on this road,” and then the cross flashing brilliantly with “it’s power.” More than any other role, the healer is a team player. And this theme of team togetherness is particularly important for An Wenyi, who is deeply moved by the team’s perhaps illogical faith in him. Remember that analogy Ye Xiu tells him, of the straw tied to the deluxe mitten crab? 
An aside: listening to this, I always thought the line should be 有你们在身旁 instead of 有你们在路上, because it still fits the rhyme, because my past experience has somewhat conditioned me to expect that phrase, and because the full message of “having you by my side is power” just makes me wanna tear up like what a good line! So it felt like a missed opportunity that they didn’t use that. But as it turns out, the final iteration of this chorus in the full version of the OP does, in fact, use “by my side”! And I think making this tiny tweak to the lyric the final time you here it just makes it that much stronger :’)
I’m also just a big fan of the “it’s power” melodic flourish in general, since it comes as a surprise. You kind of expect the melody to end with the previous phrase, but the extra notes here add a really nice emphatic beat to finish off the line. 
So to recap the transitions: we see Soft Mist falling from the sky and get a close up of her face as she stabs her spear; this takes us to a closeup of Steamed Bun’s face facing roughly the same direction before we zoom out to his torso and he slashes from lower left of the screen to upper right; following the motion of that slash we see Windward Formation’s torso rotate in that direction as the camera zooms out farther; we follow the rays of his attack to see One Inch Ash drawing his sword; we zoom in on the flashing blade and zoom out on Concealed Light’s glowing book; we follow his gaze upward to see Deception running along the building behind him; Deception leaps and slashes and the slash becomes Little Cold Hands’ cross, which raises up and triggers an explosion. It’s just so dynamic and smooth even without taking place in one continuous setting, and it just really, really gets you hyped. 
Also, starting from Happy’s team picture at the start of the chorus, which is during the day, it feels like Soft Mist and Steamed Bun’s moves are at late afternoon, Windward Formation and One Inch Ash take us to nighttime, and then you can see the first rays of morning in Concealed Light and Deception’s segments. This continuity also definitely helps with the feeling of natural flow through these scenes. 
Anyway, this entire action segment is just so beautiful, I could watch it on loop. But we still have the final segment of this OP to analyze, so let’s keep going.
Tumblr media
After the action sequences of the climax, we settle down a bit now as we approach the end. Here we see the Excellent Era team picture, in the same style as the team pics we saw earlier, but presented separately. It makes sense, as the role they play in the story is different from the roles of all the other teams. 
Sun Xiang, Liu Hao, and Cui Li are at the bottom. Because we’re panning up, these three are the first we see. At first glance, the way they’re positioned is fairly consistent with the team pics we’ve seen already: Captain Sun Xiang at center-right, the largest figure; vice-captain Liu Hao, manager Cui Li in the background. 
Sun Xiang’s position and expression is really the only one that fits the healthy pattern of the teams we’ve seen already - looking toward the camera, a confident (though arrogant) smile. He might be misguided, but there’s hope for him yet. Notice how Liu Hao isn’t even looking at the camera, which as we’ve seen before is somewhat of an indication of how unified and focused the team is toward its goal; instead, Liu Hao is doing his own thing, determined to prioritize his own desires over what’s best for the team. And manager Cui Li is in this image too, despite not even being a player. His sinister presence reflects the unhealthy interference of the business side in the gaming side. Excellent Era’s downfall comes about because of its prioritization of profit over victory.
Tumblr media
As we pan up, Excellent Era’s logo comes into view. It’s larger than any of the other team logos we’ve seen so far, spanning around three-quarters of the screen whereas the others looked to span no more than half. Excellent Era’s legacy is a weighty one, to date the only team to have ever won three championships, and consecutively to boot. 
It’s this immense, shining logo that seems to be casting Tao Xuan on the left into shadow. He cuts a large figure, reflecting the deep impact his actions have had upon the main plot of this story, even though he’s only now appearing for the first time in the donghua.
However, he’s also turned away from the camera, such that we can barely even see his closed eye. Because of that, it’s difficult to read his expression, but the impression given by this pose is not one of vindictive pride, but one of shame, as though he can’t quite bear to face what he’s done. On some level, no matter how he might try to rationalize it as necessary, Tao Xuan knows that his profit-driven betrayal of Ye Xiu was a pretty awful thing to do. It might be this amount of guilt that leads him to offer Ye Xiu a wish granted, a tribute to their years of friendship and partnership before their ties are severed completely.
In the end, Tao Xuan’s greed leaves him with nothing really to show for it. What had he gained? What had he lost? Those realizations are still a ways off in the story, but I like how this OP is already hinting at the depth of his character. Tao Xuan isn’t some glasses-flashing, evil-laughing, one-dimensional antagonist; he is in fact very realistic for the setting. We can condemn his actions and priorities, but at the same time we can understand how he ended up here.
As for Su Mucheng, her eyes are closed as well. She’s brightly illuminated, but pointedly turned away from all of the others in Excellent Era; she knows the direction of her future, and that it no longer lies with Excellent Era. Her loyalty was always to Ye Xiu, and as soon as he was banished, her relationship to the team was professional and nothing more. 
“This light hidden in my heart is burning” - there are many ways to read this lyric and what exactly the light referenced here is, but because the line is paired with this image, I naturally think about Su Mucheng’s situation. Despite her pretty-vase, sweet-girl appearance, she holds a deep, profound anger at everything that happened regarding Excellent Era. It’s a testament to her immense strength of character that she lasted the remaining one and a half years of her contract in this hostile environment. 
Yet even as she resolves to cut ties, there’s a sadness in her expression. She was here from the very beginning as well, when Excellent Era was no more than an internet cafe, and it pains her immensely that the powerhouse, championship team that they and her brother had built from the ground up would ultimately meet this tragic end.
It’s interesting to note that both of the “redeemable” characters here (namely Su Mucheng and Sun Xiang) are on the right, more brightly-lit side of the screen, so there’s a nice little dividing line you can draw there. Sun Xiang’s eyes are still looking toward the left, though, revealing how his character development still has yet to play out.

From there we cut to Ye Xiu holding Lord Grim’s account card. He’s standing back on top of the roof from the beginning of the OP, now in full daylight.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As mentioned… the animators really went ham on the bangs animation.
Ye Xiu turns away from the railing, the camera cuts to an image of Happy’s logo on a flag waving in the wind, and then we zoom out to see the current members of Team Happy gathered together in uniform, standing proud in the light of day. Left to right, Steamed Bun, Tang Rou, Luo Ji, Ye Xiu, An Wenyi, Wei Chen, Chen Guo. Presumably, this will be Happy’s lineup by the end of the season. 
Up until now, we’ve only seen the real players separate from each other - they’ve all been in different places, never even in the same frame together. (This, of course, also contrasts the pro team pics that we have, which show everyone together.) Halfway through the OP, we got the group shot of them meeting in game with their characters. And now, they’ve finally met up in the real world as well. 
One thing I like about this final pose is how it compares to the final pose of the OVA OP. It’s the same kind of power-pose vibe, but there we only had Ye Xiu, Chen Guo, and Tang Rou. Look at how we’ve grown since then! They’re well on their way to being a proper pro team! 
Tumblr media
And that’s a wrap! With this final image of Team Happy gathered together, we’re ready to enter the episode proper. 
So let’s talk about the OP as a whole. Generally, an OP serves a couple of main roles: a) tells you a bit about what the show is about, b) gives you an overall feeling / mood for the show, c) gets you hyped and ready to watch the upcoming episode.
How well does this opening achieve those goals? Pretty well, as we’ve seen. Past OPs did a pretty good job of setting the mood, but they honestly just put some pretty visuals on the screen, only vaguely aligned to the music, and called it a day. This OP, however, has a cohesive storyline to tell, framed around Team Happy’s coming together (following the tagline of this season). Even in such a short span of time, it manages to convey so much information about its story and characters, both overt and implicit (as I hope this series of posts has managed to convince you). Paired with the music, which has its own deeper meanings encoded in the lyrics, the OP becomes incredibly effective and memorable as it makes its statement.
I mentioned an “interest curve” earlier (interest in the sense of interesting, not the money); this is part of the standard formula for anime opening songs, in my experience. I’m a little too lazy to draw a graph myself, so take a look at this image:
Tumblr media
(source: https: //www. researchgate. net/figure/Example-of-an-interest-curve-for-a-successful-entertainment-experience_fig1_333917625 )
Although not all of the relative heights and segment lengths are accurate in this specific case, hopefully the general shape of the interest curve is enough to demonstrate my point. You’ve got the A-B peak at the opening instrumental segment, the C-D peak/arc over verse 1, the D-E-F peak/arc over verse 2, then the sharp F-G-H peak over the chorus before dropping off for a smooth landing right into the episode. This general pattern is effective at holding the viewer’s focus and managing their excitement over the course of this one and a half minutes. 
Visually, the OP is just such a treat for the eyes. I’ve already talked about many of the little details I love - lighting, character designs, animations, transitions, etc. - but all in all the new animation studio is doing a really good job here. An OP is how you hook people, and I’d definitely feel comfortable using this to try and bait people into watching this show. 
One comment I want to add is about the incorporation of the credits, which we didn’t see until the episode premiere. I don’t think there’s anything too exciting to say (and I also don’t have access to any images right now since the OP was only shown in episode 2), but the fonts and styling were a nice choice - it gave a gaming vibe, but if I recall it still used a serif font, so it didn’t feel overly modern - and the text positioning generally complements instead of distracting. I also liked how they showed the lyrics! I didn’t really expect them to include them onscreen, or if they did, I thought they would just be plain subs like they were in this video. But in the actual OP that plays at the beginning of the episode, they’re as much a part of the art as the credits!
If I had to make any criticism, my biggest complaint about the OP is, I think, the singers. I think having two different singers trade off can work nicely, but in this case, the switches are jarring because their voices are so different. The first singer has a lower, gravely voice, while the second singer’s voice sounds much brighter and more nasally. Furthermore, the first switch doesn’t come until we’re fully halfway through the song, which means that by that point we’re already used to this first singer. It’s also strange that they’d switch back to the first voice at the climax of the song, when I think the second voice would suit the high-energy segment much better. Switching from second to first right at this point feels like we’re actually taking a step down in energy, which is the opposite of what should be happening here. 
Still, my main problem isn’t with the voice switching but with the voices themselves, and I think the voices are something I could get used to. The third switch, going from the first voice back to the second voice during the shot of Excellent Era, is much less jarring than the others - I actually like how it feels like the solo is passing naturally from one person to the next, emphasizing the ideals of this not being a single-player game and all that. For that transition in particular, I think (because of the added “it’s power” flourish) it happens too quickly for one person to sing it comfortably, so having another person pick up the line works best. And I do like how the voices sound when they overlay together for the final lines of the song. 
So, overall? Overall, this OP is really damn good. It’s everything I could have asked for and more. After such a long wait, the OP, at least, does not disappoint, and I’m extremely excited to see what the series has in store for us. 
If you’ve read to this point, thank you! I like this series a lot, as you can probably see, and I’m treating it as my glory :)

Marketing is one the most efficient way to communicate with customers and educate them in an interesting way. Communicating with customers, building an engagement with them is the core of any business promotion
The main goal of any business promotion strategy is to increase the sale, so from the sales point of view marketing is very important. Main thing is to create a need of your products and services. Without marketing it is not possible to survive. Marketing helps for business promotion and generate sales. ultimately sales will increase the growth of the business.
 To ensure the success of the marketing strategy for the growth of the business you need to know the goal of your business. There are two ways of marketing traditional and digital marketing. In this article I will be explaining top marketing hacks of digital marketing techniques in both organic and paid ways for business promotion.
 Organic marketing hacks:  sometimes it will be difficult to grow business organically, using social media with with proper understanding of audience and content marketing you will make it through. What important is content planning and smart strategy to get more people engaged with your online product promotion strategy. Because that is what we want to grow using organic social media marketing hacks.
Facebook organic marketing hacks:
Why Facebook organic reach is decreasing
1) Facebook only puts the relatable content to your users. To optimize the content and build the engagement the content strategy should be based on audience’s interest.
2) Because of increasing number of users and the amount of content is being published every day.
3) Pay per click adds.
How to reach organically on Facebook:
Add human touch: don’t’ just use automation tool for regularly posting but add human touch to Facebook images. By doing online product promotion, it is important to be flexible with your content ideas. Post photographs of your team member.
Find the intent behind face book page: doing business promotion and online product promotion, Facebook is good platform but intend behind creating fb page should be building a community and creating audience. Consistently doing product promotion can lose audience interest.
1)   Interact with your audience
2)   Reply to comments.
3)   Add story.
4)   Add short videos.
Track and data analysis: use Facebook insights to keep the track record of data. Which posts has been like by the audience and reached the most. Check the number of like on which type of post. Test your content sometimes to understand which content is working.
How to grow organically with Instagram: if you are looking forward to increase the sales and reach of the brand without spending a buck.
Instagram users are taking interest in engaging with business and product promotion related content as well.
Choose the type of post: There are endless possibilities to create the type of post to increase the reach and connect with the post.
1)   Add behind scene post: so that audience will feel connected to you more. Taking your audience with you and showing them things like office tour, set up, team members. Add product photos and how they are made.
2)   Organize give ways: host question answer poll. Host give ways, online product promotion contest, image promotion, selfie-contest to make it interesting. It will make people egging with your contest and show some action.
3)   Add user generated content: post about image of product promotion and brand. Add influencer post of their product that will grab more attention of people and increase the product reach. Tag your product with Instagram tag option, when users will see it and then the name prices will be appearing. Caption should be story telling of your brand, product and services promotion. Caption can help people connect with your product promotion. Increase visibility with hash tag.
Inorganic or paid ways of marketing:
Paid way of marketing is to get reach and achieve the goal of marketing by paying the various ad platforms.
For inorganic trending hacks, there are platforms like Facebook ads, Instagram ads, Google ads.
In this paragraph I will be discussing about trending paid ads format.
  Video ads: People enjoy watching videos with eye-catchy, attractive and relevant content. Most of the people regularly watch video online. Wide range of the audience of can be target with help of video ads. In video ads product promotion can be done. After watching information related to the products, reviews it will be helpful for customers to take decision of buying products.
Causal ads: A carousel ad is an ad format that allows you to add display images at least 2 and up to 10 images or videos, headlines, call to action. In a single ad business, having product and services can use this feature through Facebook, which can help a company achieve their goal Users will come across your carousel ad, scroll the number of carousel images by swiping.
Importance of carousal ad: It gives you more space to add the complete story of your product. It enables you to give more flexibility for your content. It is an interactive format for users to see their story from starting to end.  
Email marketing: more than billions of people use email marketing. Email marketing is one of the oldest way and efficient way of reaching the audience. With email marketing you can personally reach up to users. You can communicate with the topics like company format change, best wishes, invitation and feedback.

Rules for mobile (Pinned Post)
The Code
Success. I’ve sufficiently pestered the wench to make me a blog, much to the cost of a certain behorned mischief god whose presence I must share. Follow the rules below, and there’ll be smooth sailin’, savvy?
This be an exceptionally selective blog. I was me mun’s first ever muse yonks back and I’ve pestered her into writing me again, BUT, she’s horribly pressed for time. Partners will likely be very few, else ones doubling up with Loki’s. Anyone is welcome to approach and enquire, but she and I will be leaning toward those either from me own universe or crossovers with which she’s highly familiar and characters in whom she’s especially interested. Ye have been warned.
Replies are like to be slow, up to a few weeks at most.
Partners must be 18+. Various themes of an adult nature may be found here. Sexual things will be tagged ‘#filthy pirate’ with whatever level/variety of sin I deem them. More details below.
Behave. There shall be no rudeness, no passive aggression, no hate, no censorship or generally being a twit. Do I make meself clear?
The Code - Extended (below the cut)
Hi, guys. I’m Pirate (oddly known as this long before I made Jack a tumblr). Here are my more detailed rules and guidelines for writing with me on this blog, though the absolute basics are at the top as, honestly, it’s never easy to remember everyone’s requirements.
Jack is a sideblog. If you’re being followed by a benevolentgodloki that means I’m following you back. I don’t need us to be mutuals (both following each other) for us to write together, but there is a greater chance of us having a partnership if we’re letting each other know we’re interested.
How I Roll
I note myself as ‘highly selective’. This isn’t to be an elitist bugger, it’s because we all only have a limited amount of time we can put in. I want to write what I enjoy with people I enjoy. I am married with two attention-seeking cats, two jobs, a slow-brewing intended writing career and a video game addiction.
Asks/Memes - I will usually answer these no matter who they are from but I may or may not turn them into a thread I intend to keep. Some memes are very much designed to be something that continues so context can be key. If you would like to know in advance whether I intend to answer and/or keep something, please do pop me a message and I will be kind and honest.
My Threads - While Jack’s blog is still exciting and new, I’m being a bit all over the place with who and what I reply to depending on which way Jack’s.. compass.. is pointing. I do have a rolling turn order that I adhere to (to the point that I can genuinely tell you who is next at any given moment) but it’s all piled in with Loki’s threads, meaning I can take a few weeks to get round everything. Every partner gets one of their threads answered within that ‘round’ and then I go round again. However, when I’m really into something/finding something easy to pop back, I treat myself to spamming certain threads or partners at my whim. I use rpthreadtracker.com to maintain what I have. 
I will remind partners of threads that have not been replied to for more than three months. If I do not do this, I have either forgotten/lost it myself, I’m not too fussed about keeping it at that stage, or you were absent for a long period of time. 
My Style - I will write in both past or present tense depending on partner preference. My default is past but I like either. Please kick me if I screw up and write the wrong one. I prefer using regular size font but I will make mine small on replies to people who use the smaller so that it looks neat. I will often match partners’ lengths and some formatting details e.g. bolding dialogue, but I struggle with doing novella-length posts for reasons below.
I have a bugbear to admit about role-play. What we call splicing. A good half of my partners write this way so I’m not about to tell everyone to stop but if you’re someone who does this, you will occasionally run into some frustrations when writing with me. ‘Splicing’ is when you retrospectively write dialogue or actions as having previously happened during your partner’s last post. These things are fine when they’re passive i.e. your character muttered them, thought them or you were writing what your character was doing at the time because that’s pretty much essential. The trouble comes usually when my characters talk a lot/ask rhetorical questions and partners choose to answer every single one despite the fact my character carried on talking. I know it’s an ass that I have talkative muses and you really want to respond to every point/get a word in, but putting words and actions into the past effectively godmods my muse into accepting they happened. If you feel your muse would have full-on interjected midway through their ramble, please ask me to edit my post/stop it at that point. Otherwise if you do prefer to splice, my muse will only respond to whatever it is your character did or said last in their post. This is one of the reasons I can’t write novella, because often there is only so much you can write before you’re stepping into the territory of changing what went before and not allowing your partner to do anything about it.
TL;DR don’t ever worry about your post being too short for me. If it’s one sentence long but it’s because something fast-paced is happening, I won’t be miffed.
Shipping! - no not that kind of ship, Jack. I love shipping. Ships all around. Let’s face it, romance can be one of the most exciting reasons we bother writing. I am open to a lot of ships for Jack, practically all of them. Yes, even that one. I will do downright nasty, toxic, horrible stuff, savvy? It’s fiction and Jack is a great indulgence for bad things happening to him as much as good. That said, of course don’t force something on him without prior agreement between us. Well, I mean, your muse can try and accost him and see what he does, just don’t expect him to definitely reciprocate. Jack and I are bi/pansexual. We’re open to everything. I will admit a heavy lean toward m/m but, that said, Jack is extremely fond of the ladies, more so than Loki. I am very into Sparrington especially.
Not Safe For Ye Olde Work
Sliding down from the above topic, I enjoy the occasional smutting. It is not a requirement from my partners. In fact, I’m warming very much to fading to black depending on the context/mood/if things feel a bit repetitive. I do feel a touch more comfortable with partners who don’t need that boundary but as I’ve recently figured ‘if it needs a cut, then it’s smut’ I know when to skip on.
Saucy material will go under cuts/Read More’s and be tagged as mentioned above with ‘filthy pirate’. Additional tags will be based on the citrus scale: ‘lime’ for general grabbing, ‘lemon’ for full on sexual content and ‘grapefruit’ if things get extra kinky. I will tag things such as ‘rape tw’ or ‘noncon tw’ or ‘dubcon tw’ where necessary. Please blacklist any or all of these at your leisure, or search them if you fancy :U I do NOT tag these as ‘ns.fw’ because tumblr just completely hides them from being searchable which is useless for my partners.
OC’s - Due to my time constraints I am extremely picky when it comes to OC’s. This is a good fandom for well-thought-out muses and I know firsthand how hard it is to make headway as an OC in the RP world. However, I also understand that for people like me, I want to dip in on this site to mostly play with the characters and worlds I’m really absorbed in and ship my weaselly black guts out. Some people have more time than others to really give your OCs the time and love they deserve. Unless I’ve played with you a long time and I really like the cut of your and your muse’s jib, it’s very unlikely I’ll bite. Apologies! The same goes for crossover muses from fandoms I’m unfamiliar with, but I will let you know if that’s the case.
Limits
Threads - I don’t have a strict limit on how many to have per person but please bear in mind that the more of these you have with me the longer it will take me to get to a particular one (unless I’m spamming it back and forth). This is more a mun/muse context how many I accept.
Exclusives/mains - I don’t do these although I may consider having a maximum of 3 or 4 of one muse depending on activity levels and to ensure plots don’t get mixed up or attention feel unfairly balanced.
Triggers/squicks - I don’t like body horror e.g. graphic detail of squishy bits having bad things happen to them. I’m writing a pirate so there’s absolutely allowed to be elements of torture/violence, just don’t stab him in the eye or chop bits off him. One torture-related thing sends me into a complete freakout which I’ll discuss with partners if we’re doing a thread of that ilk as needed. Kink-wise I’m not into mpreg, A/B/O or infantilism or toilet things. Just ask me/Jack if you’re after something XD
Who I Am/What I Need From You
Being yourself is the most important thing and I promise I am not a scary person (usually). We’re only human and it’s natural that we’ll get along better with some rather than others. This is more to give you a gist of the sort of person I am and who I gel with best.
So I’m a shy hermit at the best of times. I’m trying to be better at engaging and enthusing with partners over our threads because I realise more than ever this does keep things alive and make for a more enjoyable experience. I’m not always great at it. I work best with people who are patient and don’t worry too much on what I think of them and their writing, with people who are happy to keep threads going for the longhaul rather than keep dropping everything before I’ve had the time to get to the next post, and most especially people who accept that fiction =/= reality. I do need a certain level of quality, which doesn’t always mean perfect grammar, but it must be coherent, fun and creative. I like a relaxed approach, sharing mutual enjoyment in silly fantasy world sandboxes as escapism from (and exploration of) this complicated world we live in.
If you managed to read all of this, have a drink (even if it’s water). You’re a diamond.

GO Rom Com Spotlight: @apocryphalia
The most excellent @apocryphalia​ (also apocryphalia on Twitter and AO3) has claimed Casanova to adapt for Good Omens in the Good Omens Rom Com Event.
For reference, here’s a little background about the source material.
About Casanova: With a reputation for seducing members of the opposite sex, Casanova discovers a beauty who seems impervious to his charms. However, as he continues to pursue the indifferent lady, he finds himself falling in love.
We spent some time chatting about how the adaptation is coming so far, as well as future plans for it! Now, get to know @apocryphalia​ a little better!
* * *
goromcom: So, you know how if you open a Tumblr chat with someone you haven't chatted to before, Tumblr tells you two things they post about? I wanted to tell you that yours reports that you post "about #aziraphale/crowley and #ineffable husbands." Well, you're a true blue fan, and I support that!
apocryphalia: Considering this blog exists because I’m 100% pure Good Omens trash, that’s not shocking. I’m also slightly obsessive about my tags, which is probably why my mother and that one career test I took in college insist that I should have been a librarian.
goromcom: Oh, librarian is one of my dream jobs, but I never pursued it. I also feel similarly about tags! But before I start waxing poetic about the Dewey Decimal System, let’s segue to your rom com.
You chose to adapt Casanova as your rom com. Has this story been a favorite of yours, or is there some other reason you chose it? Were you thinking specifically of the David Tennant adaptation of the story, or just Casanova in general?
apocryphalia: Like a lot of us, I may have gone a little bit crazy watching Tennant and Sheen's previous roles after the show came out, so I had seen his Casanova fairly recently, and I was definitely thinking of that version when I looked at the list. Also, this is a bit silly, but I have no idea how dates work, and I originally thought that the event claims opened the day after they actually did. I had off work the day I thought claims started, and I was planning to watch a bunch of movies I hadn't seen and put some real thought into which one I might want to do, but I figured out about two hours beforehand that I was very wrong. So I kind of panicked and just started throwing titles that I had already seen into the list, and I liked Casanova and couldn't resist the Tennant connection, so… here we are. No regrets.
goromcom: Sometimes life throws us the very curveball we need.
What's your favorite moment of Casanova, and are you looking forward to presenting it in your adaptation? Any loose plans for that scene that you can share?
apocryphalia: I love Bellino, and I love the scene where she breaks off her engagement with Casanova and plays wingman for him with Henriette instead. My main goal in planning this so far is basically just maximum gender fuckery, so I’m still trying to work out exactly what to do with the character—I’m going to have to play fast and loose with the actual historical status of castrati, which gives my historian-brain some anxiety—but I think it’ll be fun to write, and hopefully fun to read! (Also, fun fact, the actual historical Casanova may have been bisexual, so why shouldn't Crowley!Casanova try to marry a castrato and also fem!Aziraphale?)
goromcom: Why not, indeed? I can absolutely see that for both the historical Casanova and for Crowley/Aziraphale as well.
Other than a healthy sprinkling of gender fuckery (of which I’m very much a fan) do you plan to stick very closely to the beats of the original story, or make bigger changes?
apocryphalia: I’m planning to stick pretty closely to the events of the Tennant adaptation for the first half or so, but I’m changing the ending because obviously our ineffable spouses need a happy ending! I’m also ditching certain children that appear in the story, for the purposes of gender fuckery.
I would like to keep to the flashback format, as in the movie older Casanova is actually telling these stories about his life and his relationship with Henriette to another servant in the household where he’s now a librarian. So parts of the fic will be in first person as excerpts from Crowley’s memoirs, and others will be in third person telling the events as they actually occurred. I haven’t completely nailed down which POVs I want to use yet, but Crowley is certainly not a reliable narrator, and I think the back-and-forth timeline showing both young and old Casanova is interesting, so I’m going to try to keep that vibe in the fic.
goromcom: What's an interesting decision you've made in your planning so far--a notable casting decision, a changing of venue, or some other plan you have to paint Good Omens all over your rom com?
apocryphalia: Ineffable wives! Again, I’m going to have to play fast and loose with history and it’s giving me some anxiety, but this is fiction, it’s fanfiction, and it’s going to be fun, dammit! Fem!Casanova!Crowley may be slightly channeling Gentleman Jack, because who doesn’t love lesbian Suranne Jones? Aziraphale gets to be the cautious, repressed one desperately trying to adhere to societal expectations while also being desperately in love with her as Henriette, and there will be plenty of slow-burn, mutual-pining, dancing-around-their-feelings-and-their-crappy-circumstances goodness!
goromcom: I think fiction and art help us imagine the world we want, so if we want a world where people aren’t so hung up on gender or orientation, what better place to start than in our storytelling? <3
But I don’t want you to reveal too much about your story before it’s time to post it, so let’s move on to the final question, cribbed from The Good Place: The Podcast. Tell me something "good". It can be something big or small. It can be a charity you think is doing good work, or you can talk about how great your pet is.
apocryphalia: Well, I can’t resist an opportunity for pet pics. My cats are both terrible at being cats, and they are my favorite things in the whole world. Look at these little idiots being king and queen of recycling mountain! [ed: photo below interview] 
Also, on a real note, there are other similar organizations all over that could use support, but here in my part of South Jersey, the SERV program at the Center for Family Services runs the domestic and sexual violence advocacy programs, and assists victims of human trafficking. I’m a former volunteer with them, and everyone involved in that work is so incredibly compassionate. They provide free counseling, support survivors through the medical exam and reporting process (or through the decision not to report), and they operate a 24-hour hotline and the domestic violence shelters for two counties. Their #1 goal is to believe and trust survivors, and to support whatever they decide is best for them, not to pressure them into any particular course of action (i.e., reporting an assault or filing for a restraining order) and I just think that’s incredibly powerful and helpful.
goromcom: SERV sounds like an important resource and I’m so glad the people of South Jersey have something like that to support them. (Though let’s hope as few people need it as possible.)
Make sure to watch for the GO adaptation of Casanova, coming soon. (And now here’s that pet photo I know everyone was waiting for.)

8 EFFECTIVE MARKETING TIPS TO SKYROCKET SALES IN 2021
How do you think marketing works? Well, my perspective on digital marketing in simple layman’s terms is the use of the internet to reach consumers. It is believed that business has only two functions – MARKETING AND INNOVATION.
Tumblr media
Marketing Advertising Commercial Strategy Concept
1. Right Strategies, Implementation, & Success.
Planning out business goals and how to achieve them is very important for any brand, don't you think so? I believe it is important to figure out where the brand stands right now and its goal in the forthcoming years. And to achieve the above-said goals, it is necessary to have a well-planned set of strategies in a cost-effective yet impactful manner so that no stone is left unturned. To mention a few strategies:
Creative Web Design/Development: Using UI/UX interface designs and catchy graphic designs and standardized software along with developing the website further helps in generating leads.
Personalized Content: Content is king. Make sure to give out content that grabs the attention of the readers by making it more relatable and personalized to adhere to their requirements.
Discounts/Sale: Providing discounts, cashback, and season sales is something that catches the eye of every given consumer. This will ensure website traffic and to reach a wide range of consumers.

Market Research: Make sure to do a quick market survey and collect data as it is very important to understand the needs of your customers and the current trend.
Email Marketing: Emails happen to be one of the easiest means of customer communication since time immemorial. Sending out personalized emails to a set of customers makes it easy for them to stay updated about any new launches/services thereby, increases customer engagement with the brand and increase the potential number of customers from time to time.

With good page speed, comes, better conversion rates, better search engine rankings, and user experience. Let us see as to how page speed can be improved:
Google Page Speed Insights: This is a free tool, made available by Google which runs performance tests on your website and also gives insights on how to improve the same. It works for desktop and mobile versions.
Image optimization: Images hog the maximum bandwidth of a website. Thus, we can use images in jpeg, jpg, or png formats and compress them, so that they occupy less space which will eventually increase the speed of the page.
Use a CDN strategy: A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a network spread across various locations in the world. A website with a single server is bound to have an increased loading time. Hence, by incorporating the CDN, user requirements are put across to the closest server(in accordance with their location) and as a result, website speed is increased and keeps the customer engaged.
HTTP Compression: It is mainly used for text-based data like HTML, Java, CSS, and others. These days everybody makes sure that their webs server is GZIP enabled. SO, compressing content will lead to faster loading of web pages.
Transfer the database: Moving the entire data to a separate, optimized server is one of the most effective to improve page speed.
Performance budget calculator: The importance of catchy content has been repeatedly made very clear. This tool helps you to improve your existing content on the website and to constantly optimize it.
Effective tools: There are a bunch of tools that help you to test websites and understand the flaws. To name a few: Pingdom, YSlow, and others.
6. Data Privacy
Tumblr media

During consumer and company interactions, there will be a need to share some personal contact and bank information which need to be protected no matter what. Now, how can that be done? Read along.
Ask for permission: California consumer privacy act (CCPA) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) act in such a way that, it gives the consumers all the control over the data/information they wish to pass on according to their own will.
Know and agree: Create a page enlisting all the security tools and policies and go further only if the customer agrees to it upon reading the security you have to offer.
Focusing the right data: Data is most important for any kind of marketing. So, it is important to collect the required data and make sure none of it goes unused. Thus, making it comfortable for the customer while fulfilling the data the website needs as well.
7. Constantly Optimize User Experience
Tumblr media
Developing a website and getting customers is one thing, while constantly being able to optimize the user experience is another key aspect. Better user experience leads to better conversion rates and increased revenue. With rapidly increasing trends, don't you think, it is necessary to make sure that your website is not looking old? Well, here are a few tips that can help you improve your website experience:
Google is definitely the most popular and used search engine in the world. Google search rankings play a very important role for any website from any sector. Google algorithms are a set of complex systems that determines the rankings of websites in SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages). Google makes updates/changes thousands of times, and given the importance of it for our website, it only becomes necessary to keep ourselves updated.
Improved page speed.
Use attractive images and videos to keep the website engaging.
Keep the web pages consistent with catchy and well-designed headlines.
Based on the data fed by the user, provide personalized and reliable suggestions/services to the users.

Understand why certain aspects might have gone wrong and in the meantime also make sure to keep up with the existing highlights of the website and keep optimizing it and making it better.
Make sure to make all the necessary changes/updates required on a weekly/monthly basis and be at the top of the game and hand-in-hand with the ongoing trend.
A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer – it is what consumers tell each other it is. – Scott Cook
