wonder if they know what he's on about

[xenazaria]

Just had an idea for a Danny phantom au that potentially gets very dark.

Danny goes down to investigate the portal alone.

Danny dies in the portal.

Like, fully dead.

Maddie hears his screams from upstairs, and runs to investigate.

She finds her son's corpse lying in front of a swirling green portal.

The portal needed a sacrifice to open.

The portal is open.

duoholderz :]

more of them and trioholders art dump below !

also yea that pic was from my commission ref sheet

mhatwt had an ugliest mha character contest and for some reason bruce landed top 20????

for bunny day!!!!!!

context for this was bc of the 'reveal' of yoichi also calling kudou Leader in canon and im like dude you dont even wear their uniform u r not part of the team 😭!!! /lh

and also context! so since its canon that afo has s-tier charisma (from ultra analysis), im like okay if thats the case then yoichi 100% charismatic too (but his charm is different than his brothers ofc, since hes not using it to gain followers), he just never got to exert it that much because of his brother gatekeeping him from ppl lol . like if he manages to emotionally sway someone like KUDOU then yes i think he has untapped power when it comes rizzing people up (yea this became one of my fave yoichi hcs) . so the doodles is just kudous resistance members being charmed by yoichi and tripping themselves just to impress him lol

i rmbr having this idea talked about in a gc and it turned angsty when we broached the subject of yoichis death, especially since he was killed infront of everyone🥹 like ahjjhgh its bittersweet, the thought of yoichi actually being remembered/mourned beyond kudou-bruce-afo

[pinacolada-posts]

spn au sargebon dynamic but it's not platonic nor is it romantic, but a secret, more sinister third thing ((unbelievably codependent and intertwined in the fabric of each other. unable to wrench themselves from each other because they see the world by picking out each other in mundane things. there's a familial bond but both are unsure how it relates, they just know they need each other))

[luvo27]

Should i like. Be plugging my fics here? Because to be honest i kind of was of the mind that everyone who would care to read the things i write had already seen them

[dutiful-wildcraft]

141 x american reader who chronically packs around a Big Stupid Cup (tm). They don't understand why any civilian would need to tote around 40 oz of water with them 24/7.

Now none of them bother fetching their own drink at home and instead take drags out of whatever their drinking on. And have the audacity to get sideways when the cup is empty.

Cue any of the boys dutifully filling a brightly colored insulated cup, timidly walking up to check with their spouse if that is enough ice before trotting back to fill it up.

i posted in detail once about how it feels like it's much more rare to some across sam fans who actually enjoy sam for sam but like. in the same vein it's interesting how over time, despite being in a very sam-centric part of the fandom since day one, my participation here has made me self conscious about the fact that i like sam. like i find myself censoring what i post about to minimise the likelihood of my posts reaching anyone apart of the majority audience

[un-merle]

I did the thing!

[boysborntodie]

Wondering what Johnny’s MBTI is….

Bandori X Persona 5 Crossover

Title: Post Awakening

A.k.a Mitake Ran's post awakening as a persona user. She reflects on everything and Moca is always there to lend an ear or two. Inspired by "Vow of the Orchid" by PtRanlover12.

She couldn't take their disappointed faces. She was tired, she would go to bed for days if this keeps happening. But she couldn't, what was that? What really happened today? Was it truly a hallucination?

Ran falls to her bed, as she breathes heavily from the tiredness of the whole day. After her awakening, she destroyed most of Kamosida's guards, and escaped, her body was weak, and she was lucky to find a humanoid-catlike being.

The cat, by the name Morgana, explained the existence of palace, shadows, personas. It was many things, she didn't have any questions about that, nor she doubts she cares about that.

But, when she came back, she thought she could escape from them. Turns out, she didn't get any luck. Moca, Tomoe, and Tsugumi, were all worried about her. She couldn't tell them the truth, so she had to lie, it pains her, especially since they are her childhood friends. But she couldn't tell them.

She saw her guitar, her heart felt hurt.

She missed those times. . .those band days, playing the guitar, doing live at CIRCLE. But then she couldn't bring it to play the guitar, without remembering what happened to Himari. It was her fault that happened, she could've just listened to Himari, she would have paid attention. Himari had to pay for her mistake. Ran couldn't beat it. She couldn't play the guitar nor do flower arranging.

Ran can only cry. A few hours ago she would feel so powerful, she would destroy everything in her way, with her persona. But now, she felt like falling apart, she felt like crying, screaming in frustration. Her body felt weak, she could only sob as her face looked at the white ceiling.

Then a ring from her phone broke her from her trance. From her unending chain of self-pity and sorrow. She willed herself to wake up, and took her phone, she answered, who turns out to be Moca.

“Moshi moshi~! Raaaaaaan, are you okay~?” Moca said, she sounded the same as always. Ran wouldn't lie, it made her smile a bit.

“Moca, it's late, what are you calling at this time?” Ran controlled her tone, hiding her cries inside.

“Mooooo, that's because I missed you~!” Moca said lazily, “I went to buy so much bread from the Yamabuki Bakery. I have so many coupons and they have a sale today,”

Ran chuckled, Moca always buys bread from the Yamabuki Bakery. She always seemed to love buying bread, almost visiting every time they are together, and after rehearsals. A pang of guilt went to her.

“Afterglow. . .” She thought. The band has been on a hiatus for three months now. After the incident with Himari, all the concerts were cancelled. She remembered Himari is getting therapy, which is a good thing, but she is still hospitalised.

“Neeee~! Ran, are you there?” Moca asked, in which Ran answer, “Ah, sorry, just thinking,”

Ran could feel Moca’s frown, she knew her for years after all. Tomoe and Himari would say that they are one mind in two bodies. “Himari. . .” Ran looks down sadly.

“Ran. . .it isn't your fault,” Moca suddenly said, making Ran's eyes widened. Moca knows?

Ran felt herself crying, she couldn't stop the overflowing emotion. Her heart felt painful, and her eyes kept flowing tears to her cheeks. “B-but I could've been paying attention, I could've. . .I would have listened to her, and nothing like this would happen. . .Himari, would not be in the hospital, suffering because I dragged her,”

“Ran. . .it is not your fault. . . Kamoshida. . Hii-chan would be sad if you blame yourself,” Moca said, “Ran. . .How about I bring bread for Hii-chan tomorrow?”

Just like Moca to change the subject, she knows her too much.

“Moca. . .thank you,”

“See you tomorrow. . .Ran,”

The call was closed and Ran lay down on the bed once again. “It wasn't my fault. . .Moca, I know that you. . .I'm sorry, but it feels like it's my fault. . .that everything is not the same as always,”

She once again lay down, her body relaxed under the covers of her blanket. Mitake Ran, her eyes tired from all the chaos happening today. But she too knew that, she could never forgive herself for what happened to Himari.

Notes: How was it? Was it to emoi for you~? Kidding kidding. I personally really love Ran's Character, although she is a bit complicated as it is. I would like to hear your opinions, if you're okay. Maybe I'll also cross-post these stories in Wattpad & AO3. Oh my AO3 acc is Kazarinoyume, not sure which acc I'll use at Wattpad. Anyways, take care!

Why User-Centered Design is the Key to Online Success: Leveraging Psychology and Design Principles to Create Meaningful Experiences

 

User-Centered Design (UCD) is crucial in today’s digital world, where success relies not just on aesthetics or functionality but on crafting a user experience that resonates with users on a deeper psychological level. UCD prioritizes not only visual appeal but also the way users think, feel, and behave. Creating effective User-Centered Design is simpler than it may seem; it involves applying psychological principles, such as understanding cognitive load and paying careful attention to even the smallest design details. By focusing on these aspects, we can develop experiences that are not only intuitive but also rewarding. In this blog, we will explore why this approach is essential and how real-world examples highlight its significant impact.

Understanding Human Behavior: The Psychological Pillars of User Centered Design

Every user interaction with a product involves mental processing. If this process is considered overly cumbersome—in other terms if the user experiences a high cognitive load then—there is a likelihood that users will feel an overload and thus get annoyed and quit your site/product. One of the key ideas in user-centric design is reducing cognitive load, or the amount of mental effort required to use and understand a product.

Hick’s Law: Simplifying Choices

Hick’s Law states that the time taken to make a decision increases with the number of alternative choices available to the individual user and hence the more choices available to be used by or have the decision the more prolonged it will take for the user to make a decision. Thus, if a website bombards users with too many actionable options then the users may hesitate or leave entirely. Because of this same reason platforms like Netflix offer recommendations to its users to limit the choices and to show the user what’s most relevant. So, Instead of overwhelming users with the entire library, Netflix focuses on curating options that best fits the user preferences, thus making decision-making easier and faster.

Netflix Interface Showcasing Uses Hick’s Law to Simplify Choices

Fitts’s Law: Designing for Ease of Access

Fitts’s Law explains that why large, well-placed buttons are more effective than small buttons that are hard to reach. Users must have no friction or struggle to find key actions on your website/product. Amazon implements this really well by placing the "Add to Cart" buttons in prominent locations.

Design comparison showing familiar interface versus unfamiliar

These buttons are easy to spot and are large enough to click effortlessly, and also the buttons are placed so strategically to minimize user effort. This simple but thoughtful design element can significantly increase conversions because by doing so Amazon reduces the friction in the user's buying journey.

The Impact of Small Design Decisions: Tiny Tweaks that Leads to Big Results

Small design decisions can lead to a significant difference in how users interact with a product, even if the differences seem atomic or minute at first glance.

The Importance of Spacing 

Strategic spacing between elements can drastically improve focus and comprehension. According to the Gestalt Principles of Perception, specifically the Proximity Principle, items placed closely together are perceived as related, while those spaced apart draw more attention individually. Even something as simple as reducing visual clutter makes an enormous difference.

For example, Airbnb uses this principle beautifully. Their listings have plenty of white space, making it easier for users to digest information like pricing, property details, and reviews without feeling overwhelmed. By strategically spacing elements, they guide user attention to what’s most important—booking a stay.

FAQ

Que 1. What is User-Centered Design (UCD)?

Ans 1. User-Centered Design (UCD) is a design method that prioritizes the end user's demands, behaviors, and preferences. It entails studying and understanding customer expectations in order to develop products that are intuitive, simple to use, and aligned with user objectives.

Que 2.  How does psychology influence user-centered design?

Ans 2. Psychology has an effect on UCD because it helps creators understand how people think, act, and make decisions. Making digital systems easier to use and more interesting is based on psychological principles such as Hicks' Law (choice time), Fitts' Law (interaction efficiency), and the Gestalt principles (perception and organization).

Que 3. What is the difference between user-centered and conventional design?

Ans 3. The user's demands are prioritized in user-centered design, as opposed to traditional design that prioritizes aesthetics or corporate goals. Whereas traditional design may overlook important user feedback, resulting in usability problems, UCD constantly tests and refines based on user input.
