I like the solving crime category, and it's challenging a bit to have to use logic and guess who is the culprit, but if you are easily bored and want to play other books or games like me, and then some time later you want to continue with the story, it might be hard to remember all the details and names ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ
Still, I'd prefer if PixelBerry making more books like these, rather than pumping out smut and romance books

VITALS
Name: Wagnas (ワグナス)
Race: Ancient
Hair: Deep brown
Eyes: Blue
Age: Eternally 22, but immortal
Occupation: Priest (formerly), leader of the seven heroes
Hobbies: Mountain climbing
Family: Subier (cousin)
Goal: To become a God watching over the world from the skies
Tumblr media
The one who formed the Seven Heroes.
A powerful magic user, formerly a kind soul who now hides a cruel demeanour beneath a gentle and polite façade.
He holds a deep seeded grudge for the ones who sealed the Seven Heroes away.
Like the other Heroes, he can assimilate the flesh and souls of others into his own. Wagnas prefers to assimilate creatures affiliated with magic and flight.
He longs for nothing more than to save the world. Any world.
THE SEVEN HEROES
A millennia ago, the world was threatened by the Dread Queen and her relentless army of Termites. In the face of certain doom, Wagnas, a devout priest, and Noel, a formidable and skilled fighter, summoned the finest warriors from across the lands to battle.
To combat the overwhelming army of the Dread Queen, the Seven Heroes resorted to forbidden magic, a power which allowed them to merge with the souls of other creatures, absorbing their strength. Owed to this magic, the Seven Heroes emerged victorious, securing the salvation of the world.
However, the very power that had saved the world soon became a source of apprehension among the other ancients. Fearful of the assimilation abilities wielded by the Seven Heroes, they soon became convinced that the Seven would someday turn their potent abilities against those they once saved. They sealed the Seven Heroes away in another dimension, condemning them to an existence beyond the realms of time and space. The heroes, betrayed by the very people they had saved, vowed to one day return and exact vengeance upon the world that had shunned them.
One thousand years later, the Seven Heroes rose again, more powerful than before. Defeat was meaningless– their true bodies remained concealed in the dimensional rift. Until their genuine forms were vanquished, they would persist in their cycle of reincarnation.
Bound by a blood oath, the last remaining hero among them would fiercely guard their true bodies to the bitter end.

Such is life! Behold, a new Post published on Greater And Grander about Do's and Don'ts of Email Blast Marketing
See into my soul, as a new Post has been published on https://greaterandgrander.com/dos-and-donts-of-email-blast-marketing
Do's and Don'ts of Email Blast Marketing
Email blasts can be an incredibly effective way to communicate with a large audience quickly and efficiently. However, there are certain do's and don'ts to keep in mind when crafting an email blast that will ensure that it is well-received by your audience. In this article, we will explore the best practices for creating effective email blasts.
DO: Segment Your Audience
One of the most important things to keep in mind when creating an email blast is that not all of your subscribers are the same. Therefore, it's important to segment your audience based on factors like interests, behavior, and demographics. This will allow you to tailor your messaging to each specific group, making it more relevant and engaging.
DON'T: Send Emails Too Frequently
While it's important to stay in touch with your subscribers, bombarding them with emails on a daily basis is a surefire way to get them to unsubscribe. Greater & Grander only emails its fans once a month. Make sure to space out your emails and only send them when you have something important or valuable to share.
DO: Use A Compelling Subject Line
Your subject line is the first thing your subscribers will see, and it's what will determine whether or not they open your email. Remember, the only point of the subject line is to get someone to open your email, and the only point of your email text is to get someone to click through to your website and purchase link. Make sure to use a subject line that is clear, concise, and compelling. Avoid using clickbait or misleading subject lines, as this will only lead to frustration and a loss of trust with your audience.
DON'T: Neglect Mobile Optimization
With more and more people checking their emails on their mobile devices, it's essential that your emails are optimized for mobile viewing. Make sure your emails are easy to read on a small screen, and that all images and links are working properly.
DO: Provide Value
The most effective email blasts provide real value to their subscribers. This could be anything from exclusive content, to special offers, to helpful tips and advice. Make sure your email blast provides something that your subscribers will find useful, informative, or entertaining.
DON'T: Use A Generic Template
While using a template can be a time-saver, it's important to avoid using a generic template that looks like every other email blast out there. Instead, take the time to customize your template to reflect your brand's personality and style. You can use this free resource, Paletton, to develop a color scheme for your email blasts.
DO: Include A Clear Call To Action
Whether you want your subscribers to visit your website, make a purchase, or simply share your email with their friends, it's important to include a clear call to action in your email blast. Make sure it's easy to find and that it's clear what you want your subscribers to do.
DON'T: Spam Your Subscribers
Perhaps the most important don't on this list, spamming your subscribers is a surefire way to get them to unsubscribe and potentially damage your brand's reputation. Make sure to only send emails to subscribers who have opted in to your list, and always provide them with a way to unsubscribe if they no longer want to receive your emails.
DO: Feature The Appropriate Links
When it comes to featuring links or pages in an email blast, the number is not as important as the quality and relevance of the content. Ultimately, the goal is to engage the reader and encourage them to take action, whether that be clicking on a link, signing up for a newsletter, or making a purchase.
In conclusion, creating effective email blasts requires a careful balance of strategy, creativity, and respect for your subscribers. By following these do's and don'ts, you can create email blasts that are informative, entertaining, and engaging, while also maintaining a positive relationship with your audience.

About The Mun
Hi, there!
I have been writing for around eight or so years. I have run role play blogs before. However, I did take a break from role-playing about two years ago. So, while I have still been writing in the meantime, I may be a little rusty in some areas when it comes to rp specifically.
Please, be kind and have patience. I'm an adult with a full time job, so I may be a little slow to reply sometimes.

🐝  *  ―  𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐃 𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝟎𝟐𝟑: 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊.  (  been a while since i last made one of these, mainly because life got in the way, but i finally have a new one for you all. this single muse template is primarily made with mobile phone users in mind - although i've made sure it looks nice enough on various devices - so i've kept it rather simple and clean with only a few pages: a landing page, rules, an about section with a dossier and a biography, and a verse page. the preview can be found here. since it uses less than fifty elements, this template is actually base account friendly. )
―  HOW TO USE
please don’t claim this as your own, and don’t delete the credit.  you can change it’s size or color but it should stay where it is.
of course, you can edit all the colors, sizes, fonts, etc. however you like.
to get this template please click here.  it’s on a pay what you want basis so it is possible to get it for free if you set the amount to 0.  ( if you’d like to leave a little tip i’d very much appreciate it, though. )
when you first open this template, it might look a little weird because carrd deletes the images i’ve used so there will only be empty spacers of sorts that may look a little out of place.  just upload images and this will fix itself.
actual image sizes don’t matter since carrd scales them to fit but you can see examples of the image sizes i’ve used in the demo to get an idea for the dimensions.  or just try your own and play around with the settings to get the desired outcome.
if you have any questions on how to edit it, just send me a message and i’ll try to explain it to you.

The surveillance advertising to financial fraud pipeline
Tumblr media
Monday (October 2), I'll be in Boise to host an event with VE Schwab. On October 7–8, I'm in Milan to keynote Wired Nextfest.
Tumblr media
Being watched sucks. Of all the parenting mistakes I've made, none haunt me more than the times my daughter caught me watching her while she was learning to do something, discovered she was being observed in a vulnerable moment, and abandoned her attempt:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/blog/2014/may/09/cybersecurity-begins-with-integrity-not-surveillance
It's hard to be your authentic self while you're under surveillance. For that reason alone, the rise and rise of the surveillance industry – an unholy public-private partnership between cops, spooks, and ad-tech scum – is a plague on humanity and a scourge on the Earth:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/16/the-second-best-time-is-now/#the-point-of-a-system-is-what-it-does
But beyond the psychic damage surveillance metes out, there are immediate, concrete ways in which surveillance brings us to harm. Ad-tech follows us into abortion clinics and then sells the info to the cops back home in the forced birth states run by Handmaid's Tale LARPers:
https://pluralistic.net/2022/06/29/no-i-in-uter-us/#egged-on
And even if you have the good fortune to live in a state whose motto isn't "There's no 'I" in uter-US," ad-tech also lets anti-abortion propagandists trick you into visiting fake "clinics" who defraud you into giving birth by running out the clock on terminating your pregnancy:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/06/15/paid-medical-disinformation/#crisis-pregnancy-centers
The commercial surveillance industry fuels SWATting, where sociopaths who don't like your internet opinions or are steamed because you beat them at Call of Duty trick the cops into thinking that there's an "active shooter" at your house, provoking the kind of American policing autoimmune reaction that can get you killed:
https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/14/us/swatting-sentence-casey-viner/index.html
There's just a lot of ways that compiling deep, nonconsensual, population-scale surveillance dossiers can bring safety and financial harm to the unwilling subjects of our experiment in digital spying. The wave of "business email compromises" (the infosec term for impersonating your boss to you and tricking you into cleaning out the company bank accounts)? They start with spear phishing, a phishing attack that uses personal information – bought from commercial sources or ganked from leaks – to craft a virtual Big Store con:
https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/safety-resources/scams-and-safety/common-scams-and-crimes/business-email-compromise
It's not just spear-phishers. There are plenty of financial predators who run petty grifts – stock swindles, identity theft, and other petty cons. These scams depend on commercial surveillance, both to target victims (e.g. buying Facebook ads targeting people struggling with medical debt and worried about losing their homes) and to run the con itself (by getting the information needed to pull of a successful identity theft).
In "Consumer Surveillance and Financial Fraud," a new National Bureau of Academic Research paper, a trio of business-school profs – Bo Bian (UBC), Michaela Pagel (WUSTL) and Huan Tang (Wharton) quantify the commercial surveillance industry's relationship to finance crimes:
https://www.nber.org/papers/w31692
The authors take advantage of a time-series of ZIP-code-accurate fraud complaint data from the Consumer Finance Protection Board, supplemented by complaints from the FTC, along with Apple's rollout of App Tracking Transparency, a change to app-based tracking on Apple mobile devices that turned of third-party commercial surveillance unless users explicitly opted into being spied on. More than 96% of Apple users blocked spying:
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/05/96-of-us-users-opt-out-of-app-tracking-in-ios-14-5-analytics-find/
In other words, they were able to see, neighborhood by neighborhood, what happened to financial fraud when users were able to block commercial surveillance.
What happened is, fraud plunged. Deprived of the raw material for committing fraud, criminals were substantially hampered in their ability to steal from internet users.
While this is something that security professionals have understood for years, this study puts some empirical spine into the large corpus of qualitative accounts of the surveillance-to-fraud pipeline.
As the authors note in their conclusion, this analysis is timely. Google has just rolled out a new surveillance system, the deceptively named "Privacy Sandbox," that every Chrome user is being opted in to unless they find and untick three separate preference tickboxes. You should find and untick these boxes:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/09/how-turn-googles-privacy-sandbox-ad-tracking-and-why-you-should
Google has spun, lied and bullied Privacy Sandbox into existence; whenever this program draws enough fire, they rename it (it used to be called FLoC). But as the Apple example showed, no one wants to be spied on – that's why Google makes you find and untick three boxes to opt out of this new form of surveillance.
There is no consensual basis for mass commercial surveillance. The story that "people don't mind ads so long as they're relevant" is a lie. But even if it was true, it wouldn't be enough, because beyond the harms to being our authentic selves that come from the knowledge that we're being observed, surveillance data is a crucial ingredient for all kinds of crime, harassment, and deception.
We can't rely on companies to spy on us responsibly. Apple may have blocked third-party app spying, but they effect nonconsensual, continuous surveillance of every Apple mobile device user, and lie about it:
https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/14/luxury-surveillance/#liar-liar
That's why we should ban commercial surveillance. We should outlaw surveillance advertising. Period:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/03/ban-online-behavioral-advertising
Contrary to the claims of surveillance profiteers, this wouldn't reduce the income to ad-supported news and other media – it would increase their revenues, by letting them place ads without relying on the surveillance troves assembled by the Google/Meta ad-tech duopoly, who take the majority of ad-revenue:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/05/save-news-we-must-ban-surveillance-advertising
We're 30 years into the commercial surveillance pandemic and Congress still hasn't passed a federal privacy law with a private right of action. But other agencies aren't waiting for Congress. The FTC and DoJ Antitrust Divsision have proposed new merger guidelines that allow regulators to consider privacy harms when companies merge:
https://www.regulations.gov/comment/FTC-2023-0043-1569
Think here of how Google devoured Fitbit and claimed massive troves of extremely personal data, much of which was collected because employers required workers to wear biometric trackers to get the best deal on health care:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/04/google-fitbit-merger-would-cement-googles-data-empire
Companies can't be trusted to collect, retain or use our personal data wisely. The right "balance" here is to simply ban that collection, without an explicit opt-in. The way this should work is that companies can't collect private data unless users hunt down and untick three "don't spy on me" boxes. After all, that's the standard that Google has set.
Tumblr media

GA: Im Not Sure Which Depresses Me More GA: The Sabotage Of Our Session Or The Futility Of Theirs [...] CG: YOU'RE BEING REALLY WEIRD ABOUT THIS. GA: Well I Havent Asked What I Wanted To Ask [...] GA: Its About TentacleTherapist CG: YEAH. THAT'S THE ROSE HUMAN. CG: SHE'S APPARENTLY PRETTY SARCASTIC. CG: IT'S IN MY NOTES.
I love that Karkat prepared dossiers on the kids' personalities, presumably to harass them as efficiently as possible. We've never seen him talk to Rose, so I like to think he learned about her sarcasm from her passive-aggressive games with Mom.
GA: You Have Notes On Them [...] GA: Thats Why Youre Our Leader Karkat CG: NO, I'M YOUR LEADER BECAUSE OF MY INCREDIBLE TACTICAL SKILLS AND MY ABILITY TO MOBILIZE AND MOTIVATE A BUNCH OF USELESS PEOPLE TOWARD A COMMON GOAL, AND BECAUSE I'M EXTREMELY AMBITIOUS AND INTREPID. ALSO BECAUSE LEADERSHIP IS IN MY BLOOD. WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS.
I'm actually with Karkat on this. Uniting the trolls was an achievement, and he managed it better than most of his friends would have.
The only other trolls who might have had a shot were Terezi or Kanaya - but Kanaya was distracted by quadrant shenanigans, and Terezi likes causing problems on purpose. Plus, she wasn't interested in being the leader.
Karkat doesn't exactly give off 'inspiring leader' vibes, but he rose to the occasion magnificently. He got trolls like Vriska, Equius and Eridan to act as a unit, and it's frankly astounding that it worked as well as it did.
GA: Have You Talked To Her CG: WHO GA: The Rose Human GA: Also GA: Do We Really Have To Say Things Like The Rose Human CG: OF COURSE WE DO. CG: IT SOUNDS SUITABLY DISDAINFUL. CG: I MEAN, IF A BUNCH OF ALIENS STARTED HASSLING YOU, YOU WOULD EXPECT THEM TO ACT REALLY HIGH AND MIGHTY, AND SUPERIOR IN EVERY WAY, RIGHT?.
Humans are, basically, cousins to the trolls - and the first thing the trolls did was try to obfuscate that fact. I think Karkat's motive was to make them sound intimidating, but they ended up just sounding like cartoon characters. Not that I'm complaining.
CG: DID YOU WANT TO TROLL HER? ARE YOU VOLUNTEERING? [...] GA: Im Not Sure If Ive Got It In Me Right Now CG: COME ON. YOU'LL BE GREAT AT IT. CG: PLEASE JUST DO THIS ONE THING FOR ME. WE'VE GOT TO STAY COORDINATED ON THIS. CG: TOO MANY OF THESE FUCKS ARE GOING ROGUE.
Karkat may have united the trolls, but I think his leadership died with the Black King. He said it himself - his strength was in motivating the trolls to a common goal. Out here in the Veil, there is no more goal, and things are rapidly unraveling.
CG: I'LL EXPECT A FULL REPORT SOON. GA: A Report About What [...] CG: HOW HASSLED YOU GOT HER TO BE CG: BUT LESS STUPID SOUNDING THAN THAT. GA: Is There A Metric For That Concept [...] CG: WE CAN GAUGE YOUR RESULTS WITH THE "FLIGHTY BROADS AND THEIR SNARKY HORSESHITOMETER".
And I don't think Project Trolling was just a way for Karkat to vent his frustrations, either. I mean, that's definitely what he thinks it is, but if it was just that, he'd be doing it alone.
GA: That Seems Just As Disparaging To Me As It Is To Her CG: YEAH WELL CG: USE IT AS MOTIVATION
He's doing it to motivate the other trolls. A part of him has realized that his team has lost direction, and he's subconsciously trying to provide them a new goal - something new to unite them.
Because what happens if the trolls aren't united?

Blood, mostly.
And Karkat hates blood.

NOTES ON PORTRAYAL / INTERACTIONS:
tethys is a dance instructor for the golden deer! she's taken a year or so post-canon and defaults to her unpaired ending. she'll be written as still having feelings for gerik, though i'll be trying to limit direct references as to avoid stepping on the toes of any future muns.
i'd like to emphasize that tethys has a teasing and flirtatious side to her. please keep in mind that this is not her trying to force herself onto your muse. it's meant to be read as playful and tongue-in-cheek. if things ever do take a romantic turn, i'll be reaching out to consult the respective mun. on that note, if you're ever uncomfortable with the teasing, i will be more than happy to dial things back. please don't hesitate to let me know! 🫶
i use small text with bolded dialogue. however, if that becomes an issue for accessibility, just let me know and i’ll gladly modify for thread partners. i’ll actively be looking out, but in the case that i forget, give me a small nudge!
