sorry and now im just thinking about fanfic but i think my relationship to reading fanfic has changed so much now that im writing more and i kind of hate it because i feel like i cant read without feeling guilty that im not writing. like if i have time to read it then surely i have time to write it. which is not really fair to myself because reading (especially fanfic) takes way less mental energy for me than writing so i can read when im tired or distracted or busy or whatever but i cant write unless my body and brain are literally in perfect condition. but the result is that i feel so guilty about reading that i basically just reread old fics these days and dont read anything new because that is somehow worse (?) than rereading something ive read before which makes zero logical sense but thats the way it is. but then even logging on to ao3 stresses me out because i feel like im being a bad member of the community per se bc i havent read up on the latest stuff. which is literally so dumb! like so ridiculous and i know it doesnt make any sense at all but i cant help feeling bad about it anyway. ive read like three new fics since december.
#i think i attach probably too much value to myself as a participator in fandom to me as a creator#like my writing is the biggest thing that i make so i feel like i should be doing it as often as possible#but its also extremely personal so of course it takes a lot of time and effort#but there are a lot of really talented writers in tennisblr (or tennis ao3) and i have of course fallen into the trap of comparing myself#not only in quality but also in quantity and frequency and stuff#bc i know that i dont write as often and i take forever to update#and i know the straightforward lesson is to just not compare myself but obviously its hard to get that through my brain#idk. i want to feel more secure in my writing because i love the process so much#and i love sharing it with other people#but im just feeling like im writing worse and worse because i'm stressed about making something#like. needing to make something to keep up my self-proclaimed status as a writer#again i know this is all so silly but my last post got me thinking about it and now my mind is on it#and thinking about the fact that i got the urge to search for like 15 minutes to find an old fic i read once#rather than looking at any of the new fics i've scrolled past which are like. exactly what i'd want to read#anyways. this is not important im just blabbing now but i feel liike i needed to get it out#sometimes it helps and sometiimes it doesnt. ig we will see

Alright, I’m really angry right now. And the reason is a comment on Instagram on one of my hankcon renders. I spent over three hours on that conversation, and in the end, I realized there was no point trying to prove anything to this person, so I blocked them and deleted our dialogue. But that conversation keeps bothering me.
This person, of course, tried to tell me that Hank and Connor can’t be lovers (let’s skip the whole “they’re like father and son” thing), because it’s “gross”, and so on. And when they apparently ran out of arguments, they began claiming that Hank and Connor are sexually incompatible, that Hank is too old to have sex with Connor, and started naming other characters and ships they felt were better suited for Connor. And gods, I really hate those kinds of "arguments."
I’ve never gone into detail here about how I view their sex life... Well — I guess it’s time to talk about it.
So, Connor is an android, which means physically (if he has genitalia), he can have sex several times a day. He doesn’t get tired, has no refractory period (which I actually doubt), his biocomponents and interfaces allow for precise control over erection, breathing, rhythm — even vibration, if desired (though in my opinion, this part is more headcanon than canon — machines overheat, and any tech needs rest. Androids are no exception).
The point is: he can have sex, but he’ll only do it if he wants to, not because he “can.”
(And it’s important to note: androids have no biological need for sex. That matters.)
Now — Hank. A statistically average man at age 53 is still quite capable of having an active sex life, though: he may need more time to start it over, there may be limitations due to fatigue, depression, or alcohol (assuming he hasn’t quit drinking or improved his health — which, I firmly believe, he would for Connor and for himself).
In a healthy and trusting relationship, the frequency could be 3–4 times a week — even more if Hank is in good shape. Also, in 2038, medicine and technology are far more advanced. With the help of medical support (like stimulants or implants), Hank could have more regular sex.
And I’d like to add: frequency ≠ quality Connor may initiate sex more often — but he’s also capable of adapting, being attentive, and caring about Hank’s condition.
So what’s the realistic picture?
Sex between them can be frequent enough, if:
both partners want it,
Hank has no serious limitations (or there are ways to compensate),
and the relationship is based on emotional closeness, not just physical compatibility.
Love between a human and an android isn’t about physical perfection. It’s about wanting to be there.
Now, I understand the fandom's fantasy where “more = better” (especially with android × android pairings). But 3–4 times a week is not “little.” This “five times a day every day” stuff is mostly fantasy, fetish, and metaphor. Not a reflection of love, maturity, or even satisfaction.
I can see people saying:
“more sex = better ship.”
But:
Sexual life is about a rhythm that fits both partners, not a marathon.
Mature couples (especially those involving an older person and a non-human being) often choose quality over quantity.
That's why I think Hank and Connor may have sex less frequently, but it’s deeper and more meaningful. “Five times a day” isn’t about love—it’s porn or fantasy. When people say, “but androids are tireless, no aging, sex forever, so it’s better,” I have a few things to point out:
That’s not about real psychology (and yes, I know fanfics aren’t written for realism, but still). It’s not about trust. It’s not about vulnerability. It’s about hypersexualized fantasy, where characters become emotionless ideal bodies. And sure, that’s fine in erotica — but don’t treat it as evidence of “better compatibility.”
When I think of Hank, I agree — he might not be as physically active as someone younger. But he gives Connor something no one else can: emotional realism, honesty, maturity, and grounded, earned desire. Or have we forgotten that the entire game is built around the value of emotion?
People don’t say “Connor needs more sex” because they care about Connor. They say it because:
they want to see a hot body in action
they don’t want to see an older partner
they’re afraid of quiet, depth, and stability.
But Connor? He’s not a “horny catboy.” He’s focused, intentional — and if deviant, profoundly emotional.
That’s why I firmly believe:
Hank and Connor are sexually compatible. They’re honest. Real intimacy is not a race.
Connor can have sex every day. But that doesn’t mean he wants to do it with just anyone. With Hank, maybe it’s less frequent. But every time is intentional, emotional, and loving.
When people argue otherwise, I just want to facepalm. Especially when they say, “frequency = better”/“more sex = better ship.” But that argument suddenly shifts the moment Hank is brought into it.
Let’s be honest: many people push the idea that their ship is better because of more sex. Because fandom, at its core, is very horny, and sex in the ship is practically the most important indicator of the ship’s “quality.” Not all of people think so, but still.
When it comes to other ships, high frequency = passion. But when it’s about Hank, the same frequency becomes a flaw: “he’s too old.”
That’s the double standard. In one context, sexuality means emotion and passion. In another — it’s just about biology and age.
Why?
And for the record — Hank doesn’t just have a dick. He has hands. He has a tongue. He has experience. And above all — he has intention.
And most importantly — he has presence. He pays attention. He listens. He cares. What Connor gets with Hank isn't just about performance — it's about being known, felt, and wanted on every level.
Pleasure isn’t measured in stamina. It’s measured in intimacy. And Hank knows how to give that — not through endless repetition, but through intention.
I personally believe the truth is this: every ship deserves sexual depth — if that sexuality comes from feeling, not stereotype.
It’s not about “how often.” It’s about why. Frequency is not a measure of love.
A lot of people prefer younger/android ships not because they’re more emotional or canonical but because they make it easier to imagine endless, intense, tireless sex.
And that’s not wrong. But it needs to be called what it is.
So what’s behind fandom’s horny fixation? Connor = perfect body + mystery. Beautiful, quiet, efficient, “obedient but potentially dangerous”—the perfect erotic fantasy.
Deviant Connor = sexually aware android with 1000 functions. He becomes a vessel for desire. People want not story — but stimulation. And that’s fine. To an extent.
But Hank doesn’t fit that fantasy. He doesn’t offer “a lot of fucking.” He’s not young. He’s not a sleek android. He’s not edgy-sexy. He’s just… someone who cares.
Which makes him less popular with people looking for fast dopamine from shower scenes.
In the horny-fic world — that looks like “less fun, more feelings.” Which is less popular if what people want is fast dopamine.
Let’s look at Connor again. He’s not driven by instincts. He doesn’t get hormones, he doesn’t follow physical urges.
His sexuality isn’t about pleasure — it’s about understanding, meaning, and connection. He doesn’t fuck because he can — he does it when it matters.
And the real question is:
Does Connor himself want “a lot of sex”? Or do people want him to want it?
Hank may offer less — but that ��less” means more.
Yes — 3–4 times a week. Maybe slower. Maybe not always. But each time says: “I’m here. I’m with you. I’m not going anywhere.”
And the other ships? The fandom is free to fantasize however it likes. But that’s a different story, a different genre, a different Connor.
So yes — fandom wants “lots of sex with tireless partners.”
And they pick the ships that make that fantasy easier.
But Hank gives not porn — but truth. And not everyone is ready for that.
Connor? He’d rather lie in silence with one person after one act of love — than chase stimulation through body after body.
Thank you for reading. This may be the longest post I’ve ever written

Is Mayuri, in your opinion, an opera-playing villain or a techno-playing villain? I ask because I had a whim to listen to the Akhenaten opera and was, after being moved by the singing (I had never heard a countertenor before and the sound was so gorgeous and otherworldly whether in English, Egyptian, or sci-fi-esque vocalizing), struck by the realization that it might be a tripleBleach and/or Mayuri thing.
Mayuri is beyond genre. Like, you know how a few months ago we were talking about hearing aids and Mayuri's ear cones, and were speculating about the frequencies of sound they're tuned to? THAAAAT. When they're not tuned to the frequency of mandatory conversation, man's out here listening to ghost shrimp crackles and piecing together the aural profile of reishi itself. Not the bludgeoning soundwaves that accompany sword releases or surges of spiritual pressure, but the latent music of reishi motes holding different constellations to take the form of this material or the next; reishi as atmosphere; reishi as some quality of this universe that is not solid, liquid, gas, light, Abstract Metaphysical Quantities A-Z. It is only perceivable as sound.
That being said, Akhenaten definitely seems like a spectacle he'd be into! And if he had to choose a composer from the Living World (teeth grit, lip curling) why not Philip Glass?
I went to an undergraduate institution with a bunch of brutalist architecture and a "central campus" specifically designed to be inhospitable to large public political demonstrations, as well as a system of underground tunnels for covert political operations. Definitely the vibe you want to accompany your bioengineering flagship, LOL. Not dystopian at all! (I think normal people who walk through this school do not think of it in these terms, and consider it a very pleasant place. But THEY DON'T KNOW.) And of course, big Central 46 energy.
It also has a well-regarded contemporary music program, which is very contemporary. As one of my college-mandated cultural experiences, I once went to a piano concert that consisted of a man, every so often, hitting a discordant note or two on the piano, only to let the notes sink into prolonged silence for minutes at a time. It was like the musical equivalent of water torture, because it'd be just
a
drop, a
note, every so
often--
--always (perhaps? or maybe not) with the promise of more; and there you are, waiting, anticipating, brain pleading for a stimulation as you become fully awakened to the oppression of silence. The sublime power of silence. Pain music.
I think Mayuri would like music like that, because the brainwaves must be sublime. And I think he'd love the temporal fuckery of it all, given his fight with Szayel.
He probably makes the labs work in silence--even though it literally doesn't matter what kind of noise is coming out of them, since he can tune his cone-ears to refuse the sound, if he wanted--because, per my co-blogger (who had to attend the water torture concert with me, lol), "nothing is more monotonous than a completely silent lab."
But mostly, the mandate of silence is simply to control for variables. Some labs are doing stuff where the vibrations of sound might actually throw off data. I mean, most aren't, but all the labs are experiments in themselves, because sometimes Mayuri plays water torture music for them, for Science. Sometime he plays sounds imperceptible to any ears but his, to see if it produces any measurable, if silent, effects.
Akon plays music in the lab when Mayuri's not around, though. Anything from Millennial American rap to Beijing opera to experimental jazz to the Fast and Furious soundtracks.
#kurotsuchi mayuri#to add to the headcanons created for this post i'll say that i've written lines where akon's primary assessment of soul society music#relative to living world music is that he thinks soul society should employ more bassooons. serious lack of bassoons in soul society#asks#bleach headcanons#shinigamiology#no brain just bleach#we have almost recovered from our state of askbox shame!

Hey there,
You can call me Cat. I am 28f, with about 14 years of roleplaying experience under my belt. I consider myself a literate writer who usually mirrors any given post quantity, with preference to its quality but without skimping on details. I enjoy character growth and development, good romance and NSFW, drama and angst as well as all other ingredients that make for driven, interesting story arc/s. I also love OOC chatter, sharing music and fanart, music inspiration and so on.
I have caught the JayDick/DickJay bug from the DC fandom, and I am looking for someone to play Jason Todd AKA Red Hood against my Dick Grayson AKA Nightwing. AUs are welcome as well, and you definitely don't have to be a DC expert to roleplay with me - just have a good, rounded feel for the canon and be willing to research a little should it be necessary.
I am also willing to double in return as anyone I know from the DC fandom for a MxF or MxM. Be aware my knowledge of DC is limited mainly to the Batfamily, Titans and a little bit JLA and JLD.
All partners and characters must be 21+, with 25+ preferred.
Open communication is key. I am not ghost friendly. If something's wrong, let's talk about it!
3rd person, past tense, paragraph/novella style is my writing style. I do not write first person nor script style.
Daily post frequency (at minimum! I usually do several a day or rapid fire if things align) is a must and non-negotiable, with the exception of emergencies and real life stuff, of course.
I only roleplay through discord, and you can reach me at:
.thecatinthehat
Can't wait to hear from you!

RULES AND SO FORTH
PREFACE
This is a low-activity, independent, crossover friendly multi muse blog that houses both canon characters (or canon-divergent I should say) and oc’s related to bleach! Do note that when I say canon-divergent for my canon muses, I really, really mean it in light of my headcanon-ing for those muses. Also, while the muses on this blog are from Bleach, I do not consider myself, this blog, or my muses to be heavily affiliated with the Bleach fandom itself-- love the series, but ultimately I'm going to write these muses however I want, and write them in whatever settings/au's/etc's that I want SFJHGSFDGHJ.
With that out of the way: my name’s mark, i’m 29 years old, tired af, but most importantly, pleased to meet you! I’ve been writing on this hellsite for more than 10 years now, and here I am, finally deciding to cluster some of my muses together in the hopes of being more active DFGHSDGHJFGH but we’ll see! Thank you for checking out this page and reading this far, please continue on down below to check out the rules I’d like you to keep in mind for this blog and it’s muses!
1. This blog is low activity, as stated above, meaning that my activity can ebb and flow but will generally be pretty sparse. I work a very time and sanity consuming job that, well, eats up about 80% of my week and my energy e.e but I will try to be here as much as I can.
2. This blog is selective, and mutual’s only, a.k.a, I can be kinda choosy in regards to who I follow back, and I will only interact IC with those I follow back. If you follow me and I don’t follow you back in a few days, I’m probably not going to, sorry (unless i’m on hiatus or something in which case I’m not actively checking up on my blog or followers or anything sdfjhgsdfjghs). I generally follow back all types of blogs (canon’s/multi’s/oc’s/etc) provided I’m familiar with their fandoms and/or can see us interacting in some way. Deplorables please dni though.
3. This blog does practice mains, and exclusives, but the latter will only ever be used for my closest friends. The latter aside, I am definitely open to writing with multiple portrayals of a muse, though mains will get higher priority, should I have them.
4. GODMODDING/META-GAMING: Having to put this down as a rule feels so cursed in the lords year 2023 (almost 2024) like, you’d think most people would know this by now, but, for the people in the back I guess; don’t god mod or try to control my muse without my permission and all that!
5. REPLY SPEED/LENGTH: I can be the slowest writer in the known universe so please keep that in mind when you are writing with me. sometimes it can take me weeks, or even a month or more than that to get to replies. i know that isn’t ideal for some people, and if that puts you off from wanting to write with me i completely understand, but that’s just how my brain works. sometimes i can put things out relatively fast, but thanks to the various factors of my life, most of the time my writing frequency is sporadic and my muse for threads can ebb and flow, so [insert shrugging here] that just how it be.
When it comes to reply length, i’m a big quality over quantity person. I literally do not care how big or small your reply is so long as you show enthusiasm and give me enough to work with when it comes to my response. likewise, i’d ask that you don’t hold me to any certain ‘quantity’ when it comes to my writing. i’ll make an attempt to match your length, but at the end of the day, i might not always be able to do that. i will, however, make sure to give you something to work with, instead of leaving the metaphorical ‘ball’ in your court all the time.
6. NSFW?: I don’t expect a ton of sexual-esque NSFW stuff to happen on this blog, but with some muses I suppose it is more likely. NSFW of any kind will of course be tagged accordingly, and put under readmores, but as far as hard-core smut goes, I, do not see myself ever publicly writing that, so situations of that nature, if they do occur, will be taken down the ‘fade to black’ route.
7. SHIPPING? Shipping of the romantic variety is not a huge priority for me, outside of the ships I have with my GF’s muses. There are some muses on my blog that I am potentially open to shipping with in certain circumstances (with good ic chemistry, and proper ooc communication being paramount for such things) ofc, but we'll just have to see how that all goes.
8. MUN SELF-CALLOUT: I suffer from crippling social anxiety and I’m horrible about approaching people first, so if you want to write with me, your best bet is to just hit up my inbox to talk about things! if anything i try to keep an eye out for starter calls but i dont usually keep up with the dash so, those tend to escape me unfortunately sdfkhjsdfhjksd. If I’m following you, chances are that I want to write with you, but if I haven’t approached you yet….. you know why: i’m too socially inept for my own good sdfkjhsfkhjsdfkhj
9. I prefer not to engage with callouts or drama, and would prefer to see you, as a follower of mine, not fill my dash with the latter and be wise about interacting with the former. I personally will reblog callouts if I find there is real merit in them and awareness to spread, but otherwise I will generally avoid such things if its over petty shit.
10. Please specify which of my muses you are interacting with when sending in asks or liking starter calls. I’ll of course make note of such things in the tags of things I post, but if you like a starter call or send in an ask and do not specify which muse you are aiming at, you will get RNG from yours truly!!
OTHER IMPORTANT TIDBITS
– I can understand on some level why some people prefer their new followers to send in passwords or asks or something but I’m just not comfortable doing that I’m sorry sfhjkgsdgh if i’ve followed you, you can be assured that I have read your rules, but if you absolutely require me to send something in to confirm that then uh….. sorry its not going to happen ):
– I don’t engage in fight threads TOO often but I love them and am definitely down for brawls between our muses! That said I’d prefer we as mun’s sorta talk about where we expect those fights to go, and be realistic about our muse’s capabilities and such, especially if its a fight thread that may wind up with one of our muses being seriously injured!
– Mutual’s are welcome to ask for my discord, but I don’t talk on there very much or use it often-- it is a better place to contact me for plotting or other rp related things, though SFHSGHJDF
WILL ADD MORE LATER MAYBE? THANK YOU FOR READING THUS FAR THO UR AWESOME!

Pinned Info Post!
Welcome to this blog! This is a wild little idea I had which I am trying out to see if it gets anywhere. (I may abandon it almost immediately or at any time in the future, or I may just not use it all that often.)
What is this blog for?
Essentially I'll be using this blog to post creative writing doodles which were inspired by art or visual stimuli I've come across. I don't promise quality, quantity or frequency with this; it's simply an attempt to get me creating more often.
What will I respond to?
I'll respond to any visual artwork or piece of media that interests me. This could include drawings/paintings, photography, costumes, make-up, dance, music, short films, music videos, animations, and so on. I will not engage with NSFW media.
Can you send me stuff you think I might be inspired by?
Of course! You can tag me in posts or send me links/images in asks or DMs! Couple of caveats though:
I only reblog images with image descriptions. If a video or piece of music is able to be described, the same applies there. If you point me to something which doesn't have a description, I may not use it or it may take me much longer to respond. (Wherever possible, describe your own work and things you reblog - if you struggle to do this, you can always get help in the People's Accessibility discord server!)
It may take me a while to respond. Creative juice is an unpredictable fluid.
Some things might just not get those creative juices flowing. This is simply personal taste and is also influenced by current brain function so please don't be offended <3
Okay I think I've rambled enough lol. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!

I really admire your update frequency - you hit an incredibly rare combination of quality, quantity, and regular updates. I'm working on a couple of reed900 fics right now because they've eaten my brain like a goddamn parasite. Do you have any tips on how you edit your work after a first draft? Do you work with a beta? It's been ages since I edited anything non-academic.
it depends on the length and what type of work you’re writing. I do a lot of editing because I’m basically writing novels, so my *first* edit is to go back to all the places I wrote [CLUE] or [THEY GET TO PLACE] and fill those spots out so they make sense and work with the plot
second edit is then just a read through, where I read the whole entire thing and get a feel for what’s missing or not working, doing grammar and spot-checking as I go
third edit is for the stuff I missed and some specific things. “stuff I missed” would be that I filled in a plot hole on Edit One, but then realized in Edit Two once I’m reading the whole thing that it created a new problem or didn’t work as well as I thought I did, so Edit Three is fixing that
for me, “specific things” is like, remembering to add in how Gavin takes his testosterone (shots, but he’s thinking about switching to the gel) or that he’s having this emotional reaction because of his BPD specifically. or for Nines, how he responds with a tier of “Acknowledged” (I physically heard your opinion), “Noted” (I am paying attention to your opinion), or “Understood” (I validate your opinion)
I also check for specific shit I know I do, like writing sentences that are “person does [thing], [verbing] as they [verb].” I have a lot of “sentence-comma-[verbing]” sentences. and sometimes too many dialogue descriptors instead of just writing “said.” shit like that
fourth edit is the last one, for length. I tend to write massive 100k+++ novels, so I’ll do a final edit where I just trim shit down to make sure the plot flows well and doesn’t get bogged down by too much dialogue, exposition, and cutesy moments that don’t actually add to plot or character development
I don’t work with betas, I think primarily because I write such long works. I’ve had people beta for me before, but they always drop out way before it’s actually done. LORD KNOWS it’s hard to make that sort of commitment!!
more stuff about outlining and rough drafts below the cut!!
you can save on a lot of editing by having a good outline to start with (but like all writing tips, this is entirely subjective and what might work for me, or you, or 90% of writers might be shit advice for someone else)
I think up all the Cool Scenes I want to pack together into a fic, and I write them all down on flashcards or in a Word document. then I arrange them to make a Plot(tm). there should be a New Thing that happens about 20% through that kicks off or ratchets up the Plot, a Big Change in the middle, and an Oh Fuck at 75%
those are just wibbly estimates though--I personally write really heavy on the third act, putting my Oh Fuck at 70-75%. in movies, that’s usually the moment that it looks like the hero won’t make it, right before one last Rally!!! and then the hero wins. that’s usually like, 80-90%, with just a little percentage at the end to wrap things up for the happily ever after
I prefer to put some goddamn DEPTH in my happily ever after. yeah, the bad guy’s dead, but like,,, how fucked up are our heroes though? they just go home and don’t get therapy and have an apple pie life with zero effort?? bitch.
so I tend to devote an almost-as-big chunk to the resolution as I do to the fighting the bad guy part, but that’s a personal choice
flashcards are great imo because they let you physically move scenes around and count out or stack up how your different segments look. if you’ve got eight flashcards for the beginning and only seven for 20-50%, then something is unbalanced, and that’s way easier for me to see with physical cards
also, a “scene” is One Thing. they go to a place and do something or have that Big Talk. if they have to go to a new place, switch POVs, or make a new discovery, that’s probably where you’re ending one scene and starting a new scene, so start a separate flashcard. sex scenes might be one or two flashcards for most people, but I know myself and how I cannot write a sex scene in a single chapter, so I always estimate that any sex scene I put down on a flashcard is actually going to be 2-3 chapters
but again, this is assuming you’re writing long fics like I am. I don’t really write that many shorter fics, so I have far less advice for that!

sometimes it’s hard to notice how far you’ve come with something until there’s a relapse.
The pain and discomfort from my IBS used to be chronic. It was hard to determine what was triggering it since it seemed like everything was a trigger. Even just during a half hour walk in my neighbourhood, I had to have a mental map of all the stores and restaurants on my route that would let me use their washroom. there was always the fear in the back of my head that there might be a occurrence where I wouldn’t actually make it to a bathroom--in the early days, that happened more than once. I felt so much shame at the time knowing I was probably the only 11 year old that I knew of that’s crapped their pants.
It’s very very hard to really talk about all this, not really because I feel much embarrassment around this anymore... it’s more that “bathroom talk” really isn’t acceptable in society. But it’s so common for me! I don’t know how to say to someone that I just spent a half hour in the bathroom because I made a social slip up and got so anxious about it to the point of having the shits.
Or like, the pain! The pain is terrible. It feels like I’m being stabbing in the gut. I get so sweaty and overheated, sometimes I end up having to strip in the bathroom because it feels like it’s the only way to bring my body temperature back down. I have been keeled over, on the brink of tears, from the pain.
But, i know i can’t talk about this. but then when i tell someone i deal with chronic pain, they kind of roll their eyes. like they don’t get that this is something that could be that painful, since “it’s all in my head,” they think i’m just exaggerating. So i don’t bring it up, and i don’t let on how much pain i’m in when it’s happening.
I’m writing all of this though, since when I had an episode yesterday--the familiar pain, desperation... I realized how long it’s actually been since the last time I had an episode.
And while it was a bit of a shock to re-get used to sensations that used to be so commonplace, i did feel some pride that I’ve gotten to the point that, while I don’t feel I’m any less anxious, I’m processing my anxiety better? I’m not shoving it down. that’s really good.
The big frustrating thing right now with talking with my GI specialist, who is following me for all the other funky gut stuff that goes on with me, is that I can’t really explain to him in a way that he’ll listen to, that, since I’ve dealt with this for so long, I can almost immediately distinguish between IBS, food related, and stomach bug, in terms of getting the runs. They all feel different. But, I obv don’t have like, “proof” that I can tell the difference, beyond thorough descriptions, so i’m not sure if he believes me.
I am grateful that he’s been so thorough in taking the time to rule out all the “scary” things. I’ve had a few people not even try cus they saw that some of it was definitely anxiety triggered, so they hand waved it and just told me to get my anxiety under control. So this guy is good in my books. But it’s still frustrating...
And then i know that those with IBS also have food triggers. But i’ve never found those diets helpful, and the medications he’s trying me on just seem to make everything worse.
Probiotics make things way, way worse, and increasing soluble fibre makes things way way worse. Insoluble fibre too. The one good piece of advice my an old GP of mine gave me is that she said I probably /shouldn’t/ be increasing my fibre, considering the frequency and quantity of how much I “go.” And when i eat too much food that’s high in fibre, the pain is terrible. Even comparable (but of different quality!) to IBS pain. i made a stew with pumpkin, potatoes, beef peas, carrots, and had a beer with the meal, and i was pretty much incapacitated by the pain the next day.
Anyways, even the low FODmap diets i find unhelpful: quite a few of the foods on the “no” list in that diet are the foods that i have on /my/ mental list of foods that never cause any trouble, and some on the “yes” list are foods I know cause me the most trouble.
If i was disciplined, i’d just make my own diet with all the data i’ve gathered about myself, see if that works, and then figure out from there what my specific issues are, but... i’m so bad at that. I haven’t even cut out lactose even though i know i’m 100% seriously lactose intolerant (i mean like having to find a bathroom in a half hour depending on the lactose-rich food kind of lactose intolerant).
so... yeah. just one of those things.

When you’re simply beginning out with an internet business, it may be exciting to imagine however you'll with success sell your product through Instagram once you have got designed up your follower base. however truth is, your initial ten,000 Instagram followers area unit the toughest to induce.

If you follow this orient the way to get followers on Instagram, you may hit ten,000 Instagram followers in as very little as six months.
Are you only commencing to find out how to induce followers on Instagram? This maneuver is best for beginners. Some Instagram newbies have seen their Instagram followers increase quick. What did they are doing differently? They joined engagement teams. whereas it may be tempting to hitch the most important Instagram engagement teams, the reality is you’ll get a a lot of targeted list of Instagram followers by projecting to your niche. you'll notice engagement teams for travel, beauty, fashion and a lot of.

I’ve had friends get two,000 new followers in just one or two weeks victimisation this strategy. whereas it would not facilitate with immediate sales, it helps you gain credibleness thuson} so your Instagram page doesn’t show that you just solely have thirty eight followers. this can be a lot of of a short-run strategy for your initial few weeks on Instagram, not a semipermanent one for obtaining Instagram followers. you'll learn different wonderful Instagram tricks like this in our free Instagram course.
When I was beginning out with social media promoting and building my store’s Instagram account, my entire posting strategy turned around reposting different people’s content. the sole thanks to try this while not obtaining flagged is to credit the initial poster in your description, every time. Instagram has currently updated their policy and you’re needed to arouse permission before reposting. once I initial started, I’d take screenshots and add the images to my Instagram. What very helped my page start up was the Repost app. It allowed ME to begin reposting video content on Instagram. one in all the most important home runs I had was once I re-posted a video that accumulated fifty two,862 views, got 1264 comments and nine,147 likes. At the time, I didn’t even have ten,000 followers therefore this was a giant freaking deal.
Why’d I repost different people’s content rather than posting my own?
Because I knew that it absolutely was easier to repost content. Plus, my visual and video content would ne'er be nearly as good as somebody else’s. Hey, a minimum of I’m honest concerning it! however did i do know what to repost? I’d explore the numbers. Hashtags area unit a good thanks to get new followers. i used to be pretty active on Instagram therefore I’d browse the list of hashtags I came up with and used daily to search out the highest playacting posts that weren’t denote by different fan pages (so not my competitors) however by individual individuals. I’d then watch the videos and appearance at the images to examine which of them I had the most important reactions to. If I felt the urge to share somebody else’s post, I knew I had to repost it onto my page. therefore if you’re simply learning the way to get followers on Instagram, this high-impact strategy is straightforward enough for a beginner.
If you’ve ne'er had a client before, reach bent on influencers in your niche with beneath five,000 followers. i do know the quantity appears low however influencers with few followers on Instagram need to legitimatize their accounts and can be willing to require photos along with your merchandise at a far lower rate. you'll additionally provide them Associate in Nursing affiliate deal wherever they’ll get a commission for each sale they score with their client referral link. If you’ve already had one or two of sales, reach bent on customers and provide a free gift or money incentive for taking quality pictures with the merchandise they purchased. providing incentives isn’t getting to be your semipermanent strategy except for the short-run, whereas you are attempting to create your complete, this will assist you grow. As a lot of clients begin seeing customer photos on your Instagram, they’ll naturally begin tagging you in posts after they receive their merchandise. If you discuss their post, repost the content and follow them you’ll possible get them to follow back. tho' some can follow you when tagging you in their post on their own.
Say you have got a Canis familiaris fan page, on a daily basis you post cute Canis familiaris photos and videos while not fail. If Instagram users keep seeing your posts eventually they’ll notice that you just perpetually post the cutest Canis familiaris content. so that they follow you with the expectation that your account can perpetually be a lot of of identical form of content. Having a uniform vogue or theme is quite simply a stigmatization play, it’s concerning making Associate in Nursing expectation for your Instagram account that your followers or potential followers will forecast. they need to examine a lot of of identical form of content, every day. If you'll deliver that consistency with each post, you’ll grow your followers on Instagram at a quicker rate over time.
Many consultants can tell you to solely use five or eleven hashtags or another whimsical numbers. however once I was building my store’s Instagram account, I neglected their recommendation and ran wild with it. I’d copy and paste an inventory of hashtags from my phone onto my app. Then, I’d typically switch it up to undertake totally different hashtags however eventually, I knew which of them typically worked best. Usually, I’d go as about to or right to the goop range of hashtags potential. 30. That’s the atomic number. Truth is, you add all those hashtags within the initial comment. And as your page engagement grows, nobody can ever see the primary comment as a result of they’re too busy tagging their friend in your post. Sure, once you’re beginning out individuals may see it. however if the goal is to extend visibility, the simplest thanks to make out is to feature a lot of hashtags. As you gain followers, your posts can rank higher for those hashtag keywords supplying you with even a lot of visibility. If your hashtags area unit niche specific, you’ll increase your chance of being found by a relevant audience which is able to assist you grow your followers on Instagram in addition. therefore avoid generic hashtags like #love or #picoftheday if you’re marketing fashion, parenthetically.
Say you have got a fashion journal, you may write a journal post concerning styling tips. you'll opt for posts from Instagram wherever you show photos of your superimposed outfits or a classy outfit look. You’d then go onto the Instagram web site on your desktop, head to your page, click the post, click the ‘…’ icon and click on engraft. Then you copy that link into your journal post’s code section. Over time, a lot of individuals are visiting your journal and can be a lot of possible to visualize out your Instagram account too.
I know that this can be a lot of of a semipermanent game. particularly if you’re not obtaining traffic nowadays. however adding your Instagram posts right from {the beginning|the begin} provides you a better probability of visibility once six months from currently you actually start seeing huge returns.
To get that Instagram followers increase you wish to search out those that follow brands. UN agency area unit your biggest competitors on Instagram? Write them down. Then, browse their posts to examine who’s commenting on their posts. Follow them and interact with them.
Keep in mind that once selecting competitors on Instagram it’s higher to travel for the smaller brands. Why? as a result of if you were marketing makeup brushes and making an attempt to induce those that discuss Sephora, there’s a decent probability that they’re not the correct audience despite being in an exceedingly similar niche. larger brands tend to possess a lot of client loyalty.
However, if you have got a contender UN agency has a hundred,000 fans on their page, they will not have a loyalty thereto complete.
When commenting on posts of these you follow, don’t scare them off with a promotion or identical comment for each person you message. If they raise a matter on their post, provide them a solution. explore the kinds of comments others area unit giving and use that as a suggestion for what you'll comment too.
As you retain partaking and following individuals, you’ll begin to amass a powerful following of your own.
If Associate in Nursing influencer includes a loyal following, they'll offer you a shoutout that’ll lead to new followers for your account and presumably many sales.
Be sure to put in writing up a contract that prohibits the influencer from causation faux traffic. we tend to once worked with Associate in Nursing influencer UN agency gave America a shoutout and that we got two,000 faux followers on our account. it absolutely was obvious she used a larva. once you get a unexpected rush of pretend follower on your account you risk obtaining your account prohibited.
If you’re searching for a simpler approach to induce new followers, raise the influencer you're employed with {to do|to try to to|to try Associate in Nursingd do} an account takeover on your Instagram Stories. That way, individuals can got to follow your page to look at the story. You’ll ought to get him or her to let their audience understand many days beforehand.
If you host giveaways on Instagram and have atiny low audience, you may be able to get a lot of followers. however if you host giveaways on your web site Associate in Nursingd embody an choice to follow you on Instagram and different social networks, you’ll have a far larger reach.
If your audience size is tiny you'll post your giveaway in sure giveaway facebook teams or on giveaway blogs.
When I initial started operating in promoting, I’d reach bent on giveaway blogs. I’d send them some free merchandise in exchange for a review post. Most united thereto for the free product tho' some did arouse payment in addition. They’d do a product review post crammed with photos and their experiences with the merchandise. At the end, their audience would enter to win the merchandise beneath the condition that you just send that client the merchandise. We’d get many new followers on all our social accounts. this can be a good thanks to get new followers if you don’t have Associate in Nursing audience. however it would not be as targeted than if you were to host a giveaway on a relevant niche journal.
If you’re simply beginning out, giveaways will assist you get a lot of followers on Instagram. However, if you are doing them too usually, you may not get the correct form of audience you wish. If your goal is to induce sales, giveaways won’t essentially assist you get a lot of of them. tho' you'll do that giveaway hack to induce a lot of sales. however if you’re solely wanting to induce Instagram followers quick, this strategy will work quite well.
If you’re simply learning the way to get followers on Instagram, a tricked I learned whereas performing on my case study was to require my very own product photos. rather than reposting different people’s content, different brands reposted one in all my photos crediting ME. Since the complete has nearly 300k followers I all over up obtaining many new Instagram followers from their audience. I didn’t got to do any direct work apart from taking my very own photos. I didn’t even got to reach bent on get new followers on Instagram. They reached bent on ME. and that they weren’t {the only|the thereforele} complete to try and do so.
When I initial started building my store’s Instagram account, I used a larva, Associate in Nursing app to extend Instagram followers, known as Instagress. It worked rather well initially that allowed ME to simply build up the primary few thousand Instagram followers. Eventually, i finished as a result of I didn’t want it any longer. sadly, Instagress and different apps to extend Instagram followers typically get clean up. and a few those that use them will get their entire Instagram account clean up. whereas they'll work well, the chance simply isn’t worthwhile.

Here’s a video from Nathan on the highest 5 FREE ways that to grow your Instagram. during this video, Nathan talks concerning a number of the ways we tend to discuss during this article that Foundr wont to grow therefore apace. This half goes to require some thought and energy. to realize an enormous following of real individuals on Instagram, you have got to supply content that’s not solely created specifically for Instagram, however additionally content that’s the correct fit what your audience needs. Finding the correct approach and elegance is crucial, as a result of it’s getting to become the means your followers acknowledge you.
Generally speaking, there area unit forms of pictures that job well with plenty of industries; posters with sacred or hilarious quotes, quality food photography, or scenic pictures area unit safe beginning points.
That being aforementioned, fastidiously take into account what form of content it's that you’re manufacturing. you have got to recollect that Instagram is such successful as a result of it’s an entirely distinctive platform, and therefore the expertise it provides the user is totally totally different than one thing like Facebook or Twitter.
Consider things like: however area unit individuals getting to notice your content? What hashtags area unit you getting to use? If somebody searches one in all these hashtags and finds your posts, area unit they getting to be intrigued enough to click through to your account, or can they be unsuccessful that there’s no correlation between your post and therefore the hashtag?
What is it concerning the photographs you manufacture which will create individuals do quite simply scroll on by? in line with Zabisco, humans method visuals sixty,000 times quicker than plain text. In under a second, an individual decides, based mostly upon the photographs you share, whether or not or not you’re value their time. meaning you wish to square out. Once you agree on your content sort and strategy, it’s very necessary that you just persist with that theme. the quantity one factor that keeps individuals returning to any complete or business is consistency, whether or not it’s a Starbucks Macchiato or a Snickers bar. It’s precisely the same with the sort of content you manufacture.
The reason Foundr has such a lot of real followers on Instagram is as a result of individuals will expect a systematically high level of quality from America. They understand that on Instagram, we tend to manufacture an explicit quite post, which trust is what keeps them returning for a lot of.
This is additionally why we tend to’re extremely chooseive of the kind of accounts and posts we select for a “share-for-share” (S4S) (more on this later). We’re very protecting of our complete and our audience, that is why we tend to solely ever need to be manufacturing content we’re completely sure our niche needs. a typical drawback plenty of individuals face once beginning out on Instagram is that they’re not entirely positive what form of theme or content it's they need to supply. sadly, there very isn't any straightforward answer, as a result of at the tip of the day you don’t need to be a aper of a bigger account. To be very eminent on Instagram, you wish to be a touch distinctive.
The best thanks to start is to try and do some hashtag analysis (don’t worry, we’re getting to dig deep into hashtags in Section 6). scrutinize SaaS’s (software as a service) like Iconosquare to search out out what hashtags area unit trending and that one fits you best. notice competitors UN agency use identical hashtags as you are doing, or maybe notice users UN agency follow these hashtags and see what different quite content they like. From there, it’s simply a matter of testing out your content. Do some A/B testing, attempt one form of content one week and check out one thing else the week when. verify what works best, and very get to understand your audience.
To get you started, make certain to visualize out apps like WordSwag and Typorama for text-focused Instagram posts. we tend to use these exact same apps for our own Instagram account! Once you recognize what form of content is true for your complete, it’s time to essentially target making nice posts that you just understand area unit getting to connect along with your audience. This might sound obvious, however we tend to perpetually see the content creation itself obtaining neglected. verify what your customers fancy seeing on Instagram or what themes resonate with them, and populate your account with relevant pictures.
But you’ve ought to connect along with your audience, specifically. Remember, beauty is within the eye of the somebody.
That’s why it’s therefore crucial to develop a decent relationship along with your audience, therefore you learn what form of content it's they like. There are various times once we tend to’ve denote one thing that we thought would completely crush it with engagement, however it clad to be a dud. different times we’ve been left scratching our heads on why this one post is therefore fashionable.
One great way to search out out what your customers like is by finding out what your competition is posting, or what quite imaging is employed on the websites or blogs that area unit fashionable in your business.
If you’re in Associate in Nursing business wherever what you’re marketing is already visually appealing, photos of what you are doing isn't a foul plan either. However, keep such pictures within the minority; posting plenty concerning yourself on social media is simply like being the person at BBQ UN agency solely talks concerning themselves.
On that note, it’s very necessary that you just don’t run the chance of “oversharing.” a celeb will depart with it as a result of an outsized a part of their charm and complete is their personal life. Fans area unit genuinely curious on what Beyonce has for dinner or what precisely it's the Rock is preparation. If you’re running a private account, that’s additionally wholly fine, as a result of it’s specific Associate in Nursingd clear that this can be an account for sharing your standard of living.
However, if you’re running an expert account, unless your personal photos truly slot in with the theme of your complete, it’s not a decent plan. parenthetically, as a CEO or founder, a private photograph of however you’ve organized your work table would slot in along with your theme. a private photograph of you in Vegas doesn’t have identical result.
Oversharing means you lose out on engagement as a result of your content is simply too off topic and confusing to create a uniform audience.
On Instagram, engagement is king.

To thrive on Instagram, you’re getting to got to reach out and move with some real, live humans. Networking will work wonders, not solely IRL, however additionally within the social media sphere. it absolutely was a giant driver of Foundr’s success.
When we started, we tend to managed to induce introduced to the current vast network of entrepreneurs, all with accounts of over twenty,000 Instagram followers. They helped America out success by sharing our content, and there area unit similar networks for every kind of industries, with users UN agency area unit all willing to assist out, farewell as you come the favor of course!
Remember, if you facilitate individuals and don’t expect something reciprocally, not solely is it smart destiny, however it comes back to you denary. therefore don’t approach connection Associate in Nursingd teaming up with different accounts with an perspective of, “What’s in it for me?” Rather, think about it as simply serving to your fellow person out, and you ne'er understand, kickshaws might happen to you down the road.
Use Shoutouts to induce a lot of Instagram Followers When it involves growing an enormous following on Instagram, you’re getting to got to get wont to the thought of collaboration over competition.
This is wherever the improbably powerful idea of S4S comes into play. For newcomers, S4S stands for “share for share.” If you’re wanting to land 1,000,000 followers on Instagram, or maybe tens of thousands, you wish to induce wont to the thought of sharing different people’s content.
The basics of S4S area unit quite straightforward. You raise another influencer in your niche if they'd prefer to share your content, and reciprocally you'll share theirs.
This way you’ll be able to expose every other’s brands to every other’s audiences, a number of whom possible haven't even detected of you before. the simplest half is that if you decide on UN agency you are doing S4S with fastidiously, you’ll in all probability notice somebody with Associate in Nursing audience UN agency you recognize can like your content too. You’ll quickly discover that one in all the best things concerning Instagram is that it permits you to faucet directly into a distinct segment with distinct likes, interests, hobbies, and needs.

These forms of transactions area unit distinctive to Instagram and completely priceless for anyone UN agency needs to cultivate an enormous following. however keep in mind that you just should look to be providing a mutual exchange important .
Don’t think about others in your niche as your competition, however as potential partners.
If you’re afraid that somebody goes to “steal your followers” and, as a result, refuse to figure with others, then it's extremely unlikely you’re getting to develop any quite real traction on Instagram.
So thereupon in mind, here’s consecutive secret on the way to maximize your S4S potential: be part of a shoutout cluster.
A shoutout cluster is essentially an off-the-cuff cluster of Instagrammers UN agency have close so as to support one another by doing S4S for each other. therefore rather than having to perpetually notice somebody unaccustomed do S4S with each single time, you’ll instead have an ardent cluster of individuals UN agency you'll faithfully rely on to exchange shares.
Of course, shoutout teams are available all shapes and sizes. typically you’ll notice a bunch with up to many those that area unit merely “shopping” for people to try and do S4S with. quite like Associate in Nursing ad-hoc Instagram marketplace.

how to get a lot of followers on instagram with s4s But don’t begin thinking that these area unit some variety of red triangle illuminati teams that need cryptic initiation processes.
Most teams, and Instagrammers generally, use Kik because the primary supply of communication. However, I’ve seen and been a district of teams that use Slack, GroupMe and even regular Facebook teams.
All it takes has a friendly perspective whereas doing S4S and looking out to create a relationship on the far side Instagram. Before you recognize it, you’ll end up being invited to Associate in Nursing S4S cluster yourself. otherwise you may even need to make your own and invite others!
Types of Instagram Shoutouts When you’re simply beginning out, it may be a touch daunting to raise different accounts to try and do a shoutout for you, however the advantages very do outweigh the prices. Having an outsized account shout you out can do a lot of for your follower count than the rest. however it’s super necessary to create positive that you’re selecting the correct accounts to induce a shoutout from.
If you’re selecting Associate in Nursing account supported pure followers and their theme or audience doesn’t match yours, then all you’ve done is wasted time and cash, as a result of there’s no guarantee that such a shoutout goes to induce you a decent ROI.
There area unit many differing types of shoutouts you'll pursue.
Caption solely shoutouts: The page uses its own image and elegance that it always would, and mentions your page within the caption. This works, however isn't as effective as your own image or branded image. Caption solely may be a less expensive different. OR
Your own image along with your product or service + caption. This works higher than simply a caption-based shoutout, however you have got to create positive the decision to action is nice. Some accounts can solely allow you to place up the image for an explicit amount of your time, et al. can let it stay awake. typically the upper traffic the page, the a lot of you see rules and restrictions. The strategy behind the shoutouts also can vary. What we tend to suggest is adding a CTA to follow your page rather than one that leads individuals to subscribe or optin, as you'll capture the audience and interact with them a lot of. we've tried each pushing the Foundr subscription and obtaining the viewer to follow our page, and that we have found it’s far more effective to induce them to follow you. you have got to recollect you can’t place clickable links within the captions, therefore it may be laborious to induce individuals to perform specific actions. It takes longer for individuals to travel to the bio, notice the link, click on that, and so subscribe, than it will for them to click the follow button.
S4S negotiation once You’re simply obtaining Started Just like the other dealings within the world, S4S is all concerning having a dependent exchange. you have got to confirm that each parties have gotten one thing of comparable price out of this exchange.
If you have got Associate in Nursing account with solely many thousand followers and raise another account with five hundred,000 followers, you’re either getting to be neglected, courteously refused, or outright laughed at. What potential profit may that larger account get from the smaller one?
Unless you have got one thing equally valuable to leverage, then you shouldn’t be asking somebody to try and do S4S for you. That’s just about the equivalent of transferral a knife to a shootout (don’t worry, no one is absolutely fighting).
That results in one in all the queries we tend to get asked the foremost at Foundr, “How do I give leverage in S4S?”
A lot of individuals get discouraged by the thought of approaching larger accounts for Associate in Nursing S4S, as a result of it sounds like they don’t have a comparable follower count. however whereas your follower count is also the foremost necessary metric on Instagram, it doesn’t mean that it's the sole metric on Instagram. If it was, then Associate in Nursingyone might be an influencer with one or two of greenbacks and few thousand bots as Instagram followers.
The best thanks to notice leverage, in any dealing, not simply Instagram, is to require a step back and believe what it's that solely you'll provide. what's that distinctive facet you'll bring that the opposite person might need a tough time getting?
For one, you'll compare your engagement levels. If you'll guarantee a extremely engaged audience with several true Instagram followers then you'll simply use that as leverage in S4S. as a result of the amount of respect and loyalty you command from your audience is simply one thing you'll provide, which makes it a valuable artefact.
Beyond that, believe what else you'll provide.
You can simply bring price and generate plenty of goodwill by being an everyday commenter for a bigger account. A valuable comment are some things that's quite simply the generic “oh wow, this can be great!” statement. Stand out by taking the hassle to vary.
how to get 10k followers on instagram the way to leverage s4s Start a noteworthy discussion and let your targeted influencer understand that you just exist. Who knows, you may truly catch them in an exceedingly generous mood and perhaps they’ll offer you a shoutout simply because they like your guts.
Using Your Bio Link as a leverage One very straightforward thanks to provide leverage in an exceedingly real and tangible means is by providing different accounts your bio link. On Instagram, the sole place you'll place a live link is in your bio. this can be vitally necessary if you’re running any quite sales funnel, however it’s additionally a particularly useful gizmo once making an attempt to grow your follower count.

It’s a good means of building a account by changing into Associate in Nursing affiliate, and by providing one thing valuable in your bio link there's no reason you won’t be able to drive your follower count up.
Paying for Shoutouts As altogether walks of life, cash talks. meaning you'll get shoutouts. costs for shoutouts can vary by account. we tend to found that the pages with the simplest results area unit psychological feature or business accounts, therefore you wish to search out high-traffic pages that have smart engagement. we tend to represent smart engagement as a minimum of 1-2% of likes per what percentage Instagram followers the account has.
Also be certain to keep active within the comment section of each shoutout post. It’ll considerably approach your own engagement levels and increase the probabilities individuals can trouble to click through to your account.

[MxM] Attack on Titan partner search [20+] Eruri craving!
Rp-style: 3rd person past tense paragraph style Duration: Long-term Genre: Fandom/Romance/Dark&Gritty Open role: Erwin Smith
Attack on Titan, anyone? To make a long story short, I am craving some Eruri (Erwin x Levi ) goodness, may lady luck smile down on me! Looking for someone to play Erwin Smith.
In terms of where I stand regarding top/bottom I am pretty flexible. That being said, as someone who almost always plays the dominant role, I would like to take on a more submissive role for once. Basically, I am looking for a partner who leans more towards the dominant side, who enjoys world building and character development (and who doesn't mind getting spammed with songs, fanvids, drawings ect..)
I don't have a specific plot in mind, but I have some smaller ideas/loose concepts that I will be listing down below, some of which are a lot more fleshed out than others. That being said, don't be afraid to suggest other ideas, I am open for suggestions! I am also up to mixing/combining ideas should it be of interest.
[1] What Never Was: What were to happen if Eren was to go missing? Or if he was killed early on in the story? What if Eren never existed at all? This would be a dark what-if-story dealing with all of these questions along with.. What are they going to do now? Who, if any, is to blame? Is this this end? (A loose idea in need of a lot more work)
[2] Revenge and Justice: Drawing inspiration from the third season of the anime and this little snipped that I found; Levi Ackerman, Humanity's Strongest Solider. He saved people before and continues to save many, many more. But if something goes wrong, something goes amiss, who is strong enough to stay and protect him?; Levi is being accused with treason and is forced to flee/go into hiding and Erwin offers his help.
[3] Only The Strong Survive: While out on a mission, Erwin and Levi gets abducted by someone outside the walls, They have no idea by whom, why or where they are taken. All they know is that they have to escape and find their back home without getting devoured by titans on the way...
[4] A Choice with No Regrets: An alternative universe in which Erwin is a spy/infiltrator from Marley who recieves orders to capture/kill Levi who is considered a threat. Will Erwin be able to go through with the plan having formed a strong bond with Levi? What if Erwin, in order to save Levi's life, ends up sacrificing Eren further down the line? And what happens when Levi finds out he is being decieved by the one person he has come to respect and even care for? (Story takes place shortly after the death of Levi's friends) *** Personal favorite.
What you can expect...
Roleplay experience: I have been roleplaying for 14 years give or take. As a result, I am incredibly picky when it comes to who I choose to write with, it's not first come first served with me. If I feel like our writing style don't match, I will most likely have to decline.
Posting frequency: Depending on my work schedule, my inspiration level and how many roleplays I am cureently involved with you can expect anything from 1-3 replies every week. I am also a very slow typer; the kind that spends a ridiculous amount of time looking over, re-writing and making changes to their reply before posting; as a general rule I won't post anything I'm not happy with. Bottom line is, If you are looking for someone who is capable of dishing out multiple replies every day, I'm afraid you will have to look elsewhere.
Post length: My replies typically range between 3 -10+ paragraphs depending on how inspired I feel, how much I am given to work with, or what is happening in the roleplay. Though I believe in quality over quantity. There's no need to write an essay if it's filled with pointless sentences that doesn't move the story forward. Less is sometimes more. But I never write less than 3 paragraphs unless I am suffering from a major writer's block (in which case I will let you know)
Literacy level: Somewhere between moderate to advanced. English is not my native language, however, so keep that in mind. That being said, I put a lot of time and effort into my writing.
Roleplay method(s): Google docs, e-mail
Roles: I strictly play male leads, but I will happily play female characters whenever the story calls for it.
Wordbank (stuff I heart): World building, realistic relationship progression, character development, plot-twists, romance, slow-burn, hurt followed by comfort, fluff, drama, angst, darker themes, secrets being revealed, not always knowing where the story is going, plotting, fangirling with my partner(s)...
I am looking for...
Someone who is 20+ years or older. It's nothing personal, I just feel more comfortable writing with someone closer to my own age, that's all.
Someone with basic knowledge of the English language who uses correct capitalization, punctuation and grammar
Someone who enjoys world building, realistic relationship progression and character development
Someone who pulls their own weight, contributes and helps move the story forward
Someone who can write multiple characters whenever the story calls for it
Someone who shows genuine interest for the roleplay
Someone who can communicate their ideas and concerns about a roleplay
Someone who enjoys talking outside the roleplay (and who doesn't mind getting spammed with fanart, songs and memes..)
Someone who doesn't godmod, metagame or powerplay
Someone that is patient and who doesn't mind waiting a few days between replies
Somone who is able to provide consistant replies (I honestly don't mind if you are only able to reply once every 2 weeks as long as I know when I can expect a reply)
Someone who has a decent grasp (and who has either read/seen the manga/anime) on the world of Attack on Titan and its characters/events
If interested, drop me a private message!

RULES
Preface:
The two fandomless muses on this blog, Pang Tong and Guo Jia, and the lore/headcanons I’ve cooked up for both of them, are HEAVILY inspired by Koei’s Warriors’ & ROTK’s series’, as well as The Ravages of Time, though as I portray them they do not belong those respective series. In the same vein, any muse currently on this blog or those that will be added in the future, are/will be heavily headcanon-based, and in the case of canon-muses (like The Count or Urick), that will invariably make them very CANON-DIVERGENT.
More than that, while this blog is multi-fandom, I don't really consider this blog, or any of my muses for that matter, to be affiliated with any particular fandom. At the end of the day, I do what I want with my muses (like connecting a lot of them story-wise in certain verses hehe), regardless of what series or setting they are originally from.
Also Hello! Name's Mark, he/him, 27, etc etc, just surviving out here 😎
ANYWAY, Actual rules
1. This blog is low activity, meaning that my activity can ebb and flow but will generally be pretty sparse. I work a very time and sanity consuming job that, well, eats up about 80% of my week and my energy e.e but I will try to be here as much as I can.
2. This blog is selective, and mutual’s only, a.k.a, I can be kinda choosy in regards to who I follow back, and I will only interact IC with those I follow back. If you follow me and I don’t follow you back in a few days, I’m probably not going to, sorry (unless i’m on hiatus or something in which case I’m not actively checking up on my blog or followers or anything sdfjhgsdfjghs). I generally follow back all types of blogs (canon’s/multi’s/oc’s/etc) provided I’m familiar with their fandoms and/or can see us interacting in some way. Deplorables please dni though.
3. This blog does practice mains, and exclusives, but the latter will only ever be used for my closest friends. The latter aside, I am definitely open to writing with multiple portrayals of a muse, though mains will get higher priority, should I have them.
4. GODMODDING/META-GAMING: Having to put this down as a rule feels so cursed in the lords year 2022 like, you’d think most people would know this by now, but, for the people in the back I guess; don’t god mod or try to control my muse without my permission and all that!
5. REPLY SPEED/LENGTH: I can be the slowest writer in the known universe so please keep that in mind when you are writing with me. sometimes it can take me weeks, or even a month or more than that to get to replies. i know that isn’t ideal for some people, and if that puts you off from wanting to write with me i completely understand, but that’s just how my brain works. sometimes i can put things out relatively fast, but thanks to the various factors of my life, most of the time my writing frequency is sporadic and my muse for threads can ebb and flow, so [insert shrugging here] that just how it be.
When it comes to reply length, i’m a big quality over quantity person. I literally do not care how big or small your reply is so long as you show enthusiasm and give me enough to work with when it comes to my response. likewise, i’d ask that you don’t hold me to any certain ‘quantity’ when it comes to my writing. i’ll make an attempt to match your length, but at the end of the day, i might not always be able to do that. i will, however, make sure to give you something to work with, instead of leaving the metaphorical ‘ball’ in your court all the time.
6. NSFW?: I don’t expect a ton of sexual-esque NSFW stuff to happen on this blog, but with some muses I suppose it is more likely. NSFW of any kind will of course be tagged accordingly, and put under readmores, but as far as hard-core smut goes, I do not see myself ever publicly writing that, so situations of that nature on the dash, if they do occur, will likely be taken down the ‘fade to black’ route.
7. SHIPPING? Shipping is not a huge priority for me, outside of the ships I have with my GF’s muses. That said, I am potentially open to shipping some muses in certain circumstances (with good ic chemistry, and proper ooc communication being paramount for such things), but we'll have to see how that goes.
8. MUN SELF-CALLOUT: I suffer from crippling social anxiety and I’m horrible about approaching people first, so if you want to write with me, your best bet is to just hit up my inbox to talk about things! if anything i try to keep an eye out for starter calls but i dont usually keep up with the dash so, those tend to escape me unfortunately sdfkhjsdfhjksd. If I’m following you, chances are that I want to write with you, but if I haven’t approached you yet….. you know why: i’m too socially inept for my own good sdfkjhsfkhjsdfkhj
9. I prefer not to engage with callouts or drama, and would prefer to see you, as a follower of mine, not fill my dash with the latter and be wise about interacting with the former. I personally will reblog callouts if I find there is real merit in them and awareness to spread, but otherwise I will generally avoid such things.
10. Please specify which of my muses you are interacting with when sending in asks or liking starter calls. I’ll of course make note of such things in the tags of things I post, but if you like a starter call or send in an ask and do not specify which muse you are aiming at, you will get RNG from yours truly!!
OTHER IMPORTANT TIDBITS
– I can understand on some level why some people prefer their new followers to send in passwords or asks or something but I’m just not comfortable doing that I’m sorry sfhjkgsdgh if i’ve followed you, you can be assured that I have read your rules, but if you absolutely require me to send something in to confirm that then uh….. sorry its not going to happen ):
– I don’t engage in fight threads TOO often but I love them and am definitely down for brawls between our muses! That said I’d prefer we as mun’s sorta talk about where we expect those fights to go, and be realistic about our muse’s capabilities and such, especially if its a fight thread that may wind up with one of our muses being seriously injured!
– Mutual’s are welcome to ask for my discord, but I don’t talk on there very much or use it often– it is a better place to contact me for plotting or other rp related things, though SFHSGHJDF WILL ADD MORE LATER MAYBE? THANK YOU FOR READING THUS FAR THO UR AWESOME!

You ever struggle with the feeling of wanting feedback on your work but also if there's a lot of feedback or cries for more you freeze up on actually making more? (And if you do how do you handle it?)
Feedback was an interesting thing to deal with with Bio Imp, since I haven’t written anything so long-running, like, ever. And so it was a new experience receiving feedback for a work in progress.
A lot of it wasn’t even mean to be “feedback” by my definition of the word, and some wasn’t even directed at me. Like, I was on /u/ once and saw people talking about how they thought Moira would eventually go evil, something that was common in some of the early chapters, especially when Moira was being very flighty/dodgy early-on.
And it made me really nervous to push forward. If that’s what everyone wanted, shouldn’t I give it to them? I mean, if that’s what people are reading into it, if I don’t do it, won’t it by definition seem “OOC” to the readers?
Then other topics of feedback that made me really wary about how I approached things. While no one specifically put into words what their concerns were, I heard inklings of people disliking how I handled gender roles/identity, and that gave me some pause.
So that was really where “feedback” tripped me up for Biological Imperative was that it made me second-guess the story I’d planned a lot, made me feel beholden to other people’s expectations of the story and my writing. At one point I actually “decided” to stop updating publicly and only share chapters with close friends in the fandom because I was going so out of my mind trying to consider the wants of others. (We can see that obviously didn’t happen, though, because I wanted everyone who enjoyed it to keep being able to enjoy it!)
But I wanted feedback, absolutely. I mean, we say we create for ourselves, but let’s be real, we put it into the public sphere to share with others. We do want others to see it, so while we not create predominantly for others, we do obviously consider others to some degree. And I love love love getting comments. From “I like this” to multi-paragraph comments about why something resonated, I love it all. (Though I love the multi-paragraph stuff most! :D )
So I absolutely struggle with wanting feedback vs. maybe not being able to “handle” it well because of pressures it may put on me. Not so much regarding update frequency, though. Reason being that I know that if I’m updating because I feel obligated/pressured to and not because I want to, I’m going to cut corners and I’m going to put out something I’m not proud of. If I don’t feel the desire to put something out, I don’t put it out. Quality > quantity, ya know? (Some of my Bio Imp chapters were rushed and they happen to be the ones I most cringe at reading/dislike.)
Any time feedback, interaction with others, etc. makes me feel not-the-best, either because it’s negative feedback or positive-but-pressuring feedback or anything like that, I just step away for a bit and remind myself why I’m creating. It’s to share the story I envision, so anything that would prevent me from doing that (pressure causing me to rush chapters, feedback causing me to change plot points to fit viewer expectations, etc.) needs to be carefully considered. I love the feedback, and I love getting it. That doesn’t mean I have to let it change the way I’m doing things, ya know?

Eleven key ways to make content marketing effective.
When you think about it, the internet should make reaching your consumer base easier than before. But, unfortunately, most small-to-medium-sized businesses appear to struggle with successful internet utilization.
Investing in digital advertising appears to be necessary, but not all small businesses can afford it. The solution is to learn the secrets of successful content marketing. Here are some tips to help you improve the effectiveness of your content marketing.
1. Plans are necessary.
You'll need a strategy to get your content to work for you. Setting objectives and identifying the appropriate target audience are the first steps. Next, keep your goals in check and make sure they are suitable for the size of your company. They should also be in line with your overall business objectives and meet the requirements of your sector.
Next, research your target audience to determine what they enjoy and what keeps them interested. Again, the set creates consumer personas if you have the know-how and resources to be even more specific in addressing each sort of individual's pain points and interests in your target.
2. Keep a content calendar.
Once you've determined your goals and where they're most likely to be met, keep in mind that posting frequencies vary per channel. Twitter, for example, requires multiple tweets per day, but Facebook gets significant momentum with a single post per day.
A content calendar will serve as a foundation for your material, emphasizing quality. It will also assist you in avoiding repetition by providing an up-to-date summary of what you have already contributed. In a nutshell, a content calendar will give you two crucial things:
A schedule for your postings that is organized by date and time.
An editorial overview of what you have already posted and what you want to share in the future.
3. Understand Your stuff.
Going off on tangents does not create content. You must maintain your focus on your sector and what you have to offer. Even if you discover that your target group likes unrelated items, they must still be related to your brand.
The fundamentals of content are that it should always enlighten your audience and assist in resolving an issue. Bounce rates may be examined using analytic tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Insights. The longer someone remains in a post, the more likely they will love the material.
4. Don't just post it to stay active.
Never feel the burden to update frequently. It is simple to suggest that you publish five times every day to get noticed. However, if what you share is useless to your followers and readers, it will have a greater probability of discouraging them from connecting with your company. Quality should always take priority over quantity.
5. Don't Get Keyword Crazy
Low-quality content might potentially damage your SEO efforts.
SEO is crucial, but it should not be your sole motivator. For example, if you use terms in a way that negatively impacts someone's reading experience, you will lose followers.
Keywords are an essential tool. On the other hand, keywords generate monotony, foul language, and an unenjoyable reading experience when they are abused or crammed throughout a blog article. Instead of jamming keywords into your writing, utilize one or two well-researched keywords. Use ALT tags, meta descriptions, and file names for video and picture posts to increase SEO.
6. Switch up your content.
Many businesses believe that content is nothing more than words.
Text, photos, and video should all be used to create content. You will enhance interaction and inspire people to follow you if you vary your material. This is especially vital if you have a varied readership.
Blogs and vlogs are not the only places to find content. It would help if you also thought about using:
Infographics
Case Studies
eBooks
Checklists and white papers
Customer or industry leader interviews
Memes from Social Media
7. Tracking and testing
It makes sense to track your efforts because you are mixing things up with the types of content you are posting. Look for content that gets the most views, shares, and likes to find out what formula works best for you.
Take it beyond the basics of looking at the video over text or images. Instead, when tracking, you should always look for patterns. These patterns can be spotted in less obvious places, such as the headings you use for your blogs. For example, maybe you notice that your Top 10 lists are better than how-to's, while how-to's are better than generic titles.
Every little observation will help provide you with the insight required to improve your content continuously.
8. Think of engaging guest bloggers.
If you discover that you lack skill in the writing or creative departments, you may always explore hiring guest bloggers. Some guest bloggers will seek remuneration, but others will be pleased to give articles to help them establish their influence.
For example, run a restaurant or sell smoothies. A local farm may have a considerable impact on eating locally, non-GMO, preaching the farm to fork mentality, and so on. That is an excellent choice for a guest blogger. You may also search for influencers on social media networks like Instagram to find matches that complement your content and attitude.
9. Continue Creating New Content!
It's all too easy to let your content marketing fall by the wayside. Every post you publish contributes to your visibility and adds to your knowledge, allowing you to attract additional followers. Building momentum takes dedication. Just because you're seeing increased followers and visitors doesn't imply you should stop creating fresh material. It would help if you continued cultivating your current followers while also attempting to acquire new ones.
A useless social media profile or blog will lose followers soon. You must persevere and utilize your calendar to guide and remind you when to post. If you're stuck for ideas, the material of industry leaders provides crucial access to the most recent trends for fresh or emerging themes. Even if you aren't running out of ideas, you should constantly keep up with business news for your benefit.
10. Get Expertise from Industry Leading Experts
The most excellent method to understand what you should be doing or how to do it successfully is to conduct research. Of course, it's always a good idea to look at your sector leaders, but it also doesn't hurt to look beyond your surroundings. Enlightenment can be found in the most unexpected places, and discovering inspiration is never wrong.
Here are some successful content samples to get your creative ideas flowing:
Hootsuite's "Game of Social Thrones" ad used popular culture to convey its message, emulating the "Game of Thrones" title sequence.
Intrepid Traveler employs travelers to tell their stories to increase traffic to The Journal's site.
11. Utilize All Content
All of the content you create can be used across all of your channels. You can share a link to the most recent post on your social media accounts. You can cross-link material from one brief blog to more in-depth information from another. You can increase the number of people who know about your YouTube channel by promoting it frequently in your social media feeds.
It should be a never-ending cycle of interlinking and cross-linking to get consumers to all of your internet outlets. You may also repurpose content by turning an instructive video into an infographic or looking for a series of blogs that could be turned into an eBook.
Conclusion:
Content marketing is inexpensive, safe, available to anyone in any business, and beneficial in various ways. The sooner you begin investing in it, the sooner you will start to see benefits, and the better the results you will finally see.

Top Benefits Of Online Grocery Shopping In Dubai
Grocery shopping, to many people, may sound like a hectic weekly or monthly chore, as it can take a very long time to choose the perfect quality or quantity of goods or to drive to the store and come back, spending the entire day going, buying, and coming back, tiring everyone out. For this reason, Sidco Foods provides online groceries in Dubai, where anyone can purchase groceries from themselves, from the comfort of their home. So in this blog, you will learn about the top benefits of buying groceries from home.
(1) Your home is your store:
One of the considerable advantages of online grocery shopping is that instead of getting ready and going out every time, you get to sit on your couch, spread your legs out and shop from the relief of your bed or couch without anyone interrupting. It does not matter whatever the time is, be it midnight or early morning hours; you do not have to worry about the store closing; with just a few taps and clicks, your groceries are already on the way.
(2) Shop Stress-Free:
After a tiring day, the only thing you do not want is having to go to the grocery store and finding it packed with dozens of people. This crowding is one of the most stressful situations, but there is no one except for you shopping when you start with online grocery shopping. Then, you can shop whatever you want, taking your own time and in a relaxed state, without any rush.
(3) Time-Saving and Productive
Going to a grocery store and shopping for groceries is one of the most time-consuming tasks, be it driving to the store, choosing the correct product, or searching for the right product or billing; it takes almost an entire day of yours. But when you start shopping for groceries online, everything you want and need is just a tap or mouse click away. You get to choose within hundreds and thousands of products, and everything gets delivered to your home straight.
(4) Special Offers and Money-saving opportunities:
When you shop online, there are many things that get way easier than going to a grocery store; one such thing is the price comparison of products. Many online grocery services provide the option of comparing two similar goods at different prices to compare and choose from various products. Another thing about online groceries is that the frequency of available offers on products and discounts is more than the grocery shops, so you can save much money compared to when you go to the grocery stores.
(5) No Requirement of Multiple Trips:
One of the most usual things to happen when you get out of the store, get back home, and reality kicks in; you forgot to buy one of the crucial things you needed! Now driving all the way back to the store and finding the good you need and getting it billed might feel like quite some work. But you need to do it anyways. When you shop something online and forget to buy something, all you need to do is jump back on the website and order what you needed, cutting the work to less than half of what you need to do while shopping in a physical store.
(6) Say Goodbye to Hasty Buying:
When shopping in a store, we see a lot of things that have attractive features and discount coupons and end up buying a ton of things we did not even require, in a rush doubling up the bill, wasting all our energy. The reality check hits when you get home and realize all the useless stuff you bought, which will now get stored forever and rot out.
This impulsive buying can easily be avoided while shopping online for groceries because you can get everything straight into your basket without getting distracted by anything else.
(7) Deals and Coupons:
As mentioned earlier, there are various discounts and deals available when shopping online. You can also shop for a special price and get a discount coupon worth huge savings. You can also get store loyalty cards which can save you vast amounts of money, making online grocery shopping a complete one-stop place for everything, including your savings.
(8) History of Shopping:
Ever bought a product you really liked but when you went to the store to rebuy it, it was nowhere to be seen? Unfortunately, we have all been in a similar situation at least once in our lives. But, don’t worry; online grocery shopping has got it covered for you. When you buy something online, it gets stored in your purchase history, and if you want to buy it again, all you have to do is open the website, go to your purchase history and rebuy the product then and there, making it easier than it has ever been. It also helps you remember the products you buy frequently and enables you to bring a slight change in your daily use products.
(9) Reality Check on Your Shopping Cart:
When we go shopping to grocery stores, we do not realize what we have added to our shopping carts and keep on buying the things we do not require, known as impulsive buying; it also happens because our carts are so loaded with groceries that we tend to forget what we have already bought and what more we need to buy.
