I don’t mind too much if the Twitter users immigrate to tumblr.

However I will start Biting if tumblr becomes the standard social media site everyone uses.

My employers don’t need to know that I am a clown and this is the circus I frequent. They don’t need to learn about the chainsaws I juggle or the jokes I yell while entering a tiny car with a bunch of other clowns.

#itsallmine #Twitter #tumblr #They can just look at my family photos and things my family have said while I’m busy throwing pies in the background #i will be extra pissed off if corporations move over here too #*prays in incompatible target markets*

Ngl the funniest part of Monsters University is the revelation that Randall doesn't squint all the time because he's suspicious and paranoid it's just that he can't see for shit

#iconic #10 out 10 character decisions #also I was absolutely the target market for his backstory in MU I will not lie #but then again I've always been fascinated by him so that helped #Randall boggs #randy boggs #yes I can and will be cringe enough to call him randy what of it #I am cringe but I am free #monsters university #monsters inc #pixar #disney #martianbugsbunny opines

Ms Jilli, I don't know if the scents will be to your taste, but there's a newish fragrance place called Pulp Fragrance with classic gothic romance covers as bottle art. They even have a scent called Women in Dresses Running From Houses. It seems tailor-made for you

WHAT?!?!?

Oh dear.

i've been thinking a lot about the word "representation" and what it means and how it's changed over the last few years, particularly when it comes to the writing/publishing landscape but also in movies and tv shows… and i really don't like it anymore. to be clear, of course i think it's important to have diversity in your work, i'm not saying i hate the concept of representation. but i do really dislike the way it's used now, and i really just hate the word itself

in a broader sense it's just become a marketing tool. i'm not impressed by any publisher or author who just describes their book by listing all of the minorities/identities the characters represent as if that should be enough. it feels very gross, very exploitative and disingenuous. it also really bothers me because it's always marginalized identities- which i understand Why, but it feels very othering to me (and again. Very exploitative as an advertisement). you would never list out "cishet able-bodied white man" as a character description to pat yourself on the back over. so why do it to everyone else? why insinuate that one is the "default" and the other one is "special"? (and when i say this i'm mainly talking about advertisements/marketing. i understand why people would specify about characters in descriptions with the plot, but i don't like to see an ad that's just "this book has gay people!" with nothing else)

which then leads me to my other point, which is that a lot of people treat "representation" as if it's "too hard." like "oh i don't know enough to write about that, i don't have that experience, etc" which is a fair way to feel! however… it's weird that people only say this about writing trans characters or characters of color. i'm writing a story right now with a character who is really into motorcycles. i personally do not know that much about motorcycles, so i researched what parts are what & what different kinds of models there are & what basic bike care looks like. i guarantee Most people will have to google something at some point in their writing process. so what's the problem? it also, again, feels very othering when authors treat certain groups of people as "impossible" to write, "too hard" to understand. they are just.. people. you write them as a person. and then you figure out the rest later.

and i think part of the refusal or fear to write something outside of your experience is because of the way representation is treated as So Special. these characters are So Special that they aren't allowed to be anything other than "representation." they're Not allowed to be characters with complex emotions and interesting motivations, they have to just be Trans or Gay or Disabled or whatever. they're not allowed to be people. which means, at the end of the day, we loop right back around to where we were at the start….

there is bad representation. there are depictions of certain marginalized people that are harmful and that are damaging, i'm not trying to minimize that or argue against it at all, in fact we should all be mindful of that while writing and reading. but i also think it's possible to swing too far in the opposite direction as well and put certain groups of people on a pedestal and not allow them to do anything at all but be Perfect Representation, if that makes sense.

#anyways. is this anything #sorry i dont have anything insightful to say at the end here i just wanted to ramble #especially abt the way ppl market books now it like. genuinely disgusts me #cannot imagine marketing tnp in that way. my characters are many things AND they are trans. and their transness #is not just a flashy feature for attracting attention #also i do understand the fear of 'getting it wrong' but that's why you have beta readers or even actual sensitivity readers #that's why you ask for feedback. especially in this space like... people will give it #that's what makes sharing your process and early draft in this community so rewarding #and there's also just the reality that no matter what you do some people will Not like it 🤷 #and ime a lot of ppl look at representation very individualistically #as in it's only good representation if it represents Me #which sucks. and you're never going to please those people #ANYWAYS also to be clear this is not a vague or meant to be targeted at any one person please don't be fucking weird #this is just some thots i've had recently esp since ive seen the representation conversation pop up quite a few times #and since i've been doing research for characters in my other project #personal

Honestly, what did I even listen to with TTPD? One long commercial? Her spilling her ego all over my speakers?

I just cannot believe how derivative TTPD is... and how she's calling it the most honest form of poetry,

The songs are either modeled after TikTok trends/ youth slang, or just her name-dropping other famous people.

She's doing this on purpose. It doesn't make sense otherwise, because it's just so inartistic. I'm sorry but the phrase "down bad crying at the gym" is supposed to be artistically moving?

Are you joking?

Don't even get me started on Fortnight. Obviously, the Fortnight challenge was huge a few years ago.... and what does Taylor Swift do with the first single? hmmm.... could it be that she made a fortnight challenge.... hoping to also go megaviral on TikTok.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure she thinks her audience is stupid... or that they are children.

Not to mention "Imgonnagetyouback" clearly copied Olivia Rodrigo (who has a young audience, clearly Swift is desperate to keep the focus of the youth)

It's just such a blatant way to key into viral moments in order to inflate her own music sales/ streams/ platform.

It's not art.... it's business.

Any attempt at art, either through metaphor or clunky prose is obfuscated by oddly placed recalls back to pop culture internet trends... The metaphors don't land either because they are internally contradictory to other phrases. Also, don't get me started on the sheer number of grammatical errors throughout the songs. Does every phrase need 57 prepositions? no! Does every phrase need to be a run on sentence? no! Did she even notice the subject verb disagreements? no? You're telling me not one person with an English degree works for Taylor Swift as an editor?

Come on man.

#ttpd #anti taylor swift #the tortured poets department #there are no editors in the tortured poets department.. only business men and market research data suggesting that she target the youth #taylor swift

Altaïr: I got you one of those "plans" you're always on about

Malik: ...this is a map

Altaïr: Of guard patrols, yes. For the plan. Since you like plans.

Malik: Where did you get this map

Altaïr: ...

Malik: I know you didn't make this yourself, since it's

Malik: y'know

Malik: Actually Legible

Altaïr: Soooo, it's good? You like it?

Malik: That's not an answer

Malik: Altaïr

Malik: Altaïr

Malik: How many people died for this bizarre romantic gesture

liking romantasy as an ace person who is more sex-indifferent than sex-favorable is so exhausting. there are all these books that look cool but the authors mostly market them based on spicy levels and spicy scenes and it does nothing for me so i just sit here like :| thats nice i guess haha

#nothing wrong with spicy levels btw #but spicy is like a plus for me #i only really enjoy it if i like the romance first so all the marketing is lost on me #which is why i think fantasy romance wip has no target audience at all LOL WHO IS THIS FOR EXCEPT ME SPECIFICALLY #its such a specific niche like #if you like romantasy but queer #and queer as in transmac & nonbinary ppl mostly with ace/aro characters #might have spicy stuff but not much and not for a long time #huge platonic element but the romance is There (I SWEAR) #who wants to read this even #again: this is not a condemnation of romantasy its more a 'i want to read this and there isnt much of it and that makes me sad' thing #ren.txt #i feel like im stuck between regular adult fantasy which is usually very dry and emotionless with no well written relationship to speak of #(romantic or otherwise) #and romantasy which has the emotion i want bUT GOES ABOUT IT IN A WAY I CANT RELATE #*shakes fantasy genres* IF YOU COULD JUST MEET IN THE MIDDLE

It's human nature to gain or lose hope when you see Netflix socials promoting Byler or Midleven, but we've gotta pull back the curtain to see the full picture.

First, always remind yourself that the Stranger Things team and Netflix are completely separate entities. Netflix is the vehicle the ST team are driving their story on, but they're not the same people who actually create it. They get little to no say in what the ST writers write.

I say 'little' because the bones of each season will have been greenlit by select Netflix higher-ups (with NDA's signed). But if the Stranger Things team want Storyline A, and Netflix were to say no, what about Storyline B? Then the ST team are absolutely capable of standing their ground and not moving. Perhaps some compromises can be made, but the final say will be down to how stubborn the ST writers can be. This was made apparent by the Duffer Brothers’ open stance on the writing and acting strikes, which directly opposed Netflix. It mattered to them that in the future, writers will continue to have control over their work. That Netflix can't just weasel out of their contracts with shows and write their own endings with AI. Right now, Netflix provide funding, connections, and a platform to host stories on. The ST team provide their content, the original idea, the heart and soul. It's a mutually beneficial relationship.

When it comes to promoting stuff on social media, we have several teams working separately. This leads to exchanges like this from the Netflix Tudum event:

This is two completely different social media teams interacting with each other. Most important to remember though - right now, the Netflix social media team won't know anything about Season 5. The earliest they may be told anything important will be at the start of the Season 5 promotional campaigns, but even then, it's not a given. NDA's will be in effect at Netflix right up until the bitter end. The social media people will be working in tandem with the marketing team, all of them given set content or working under guidelines when told what they can promote/ talk about.

Secondly, they're just ordinary people doing their job. When it comes to liking comments or replying to them, it will all differ depending on which person happens to be logged into the Netflix account at that time.

For ST5, it looks like Dana and Chris are two Senior Social Media Managers at Netflix US:

But look at all the related connections, and you begin to realise just how many people make up these social media teams (and marketing, which is related). And remember, this is just Netflix US - not the ST team.

So just think about how each person has their own opinions, has their own views on the show. How many of these people might ship Byler? How many ship Midleven? I bet they have their own interpersonal work politics behind the scenes, hoping their idealised ending is the right one.

My point is, there's no point freaking out about this occuring underneath Netflix US's recent post about ST S5:

All this shows is that we have a Midleven shipper in the social media team. After Season 4, a lot of people got excited at this:

But again, all this indicates is that we also have a potential Byler shipper in the Netflix UK team. It's just as pointless getting happy and excited about pro-Byler stuff on there, as it is to get worried or upset about pro-Midleven stuff.

#the Netflix marketing content such as the couples costume thing is almost as pointless #I say almost because I DO think active marketing outside of social media means the content they're being given to promote includes #the will and mike pairing #so that definitely strays into queerbait territory #but for S5 endgames the only social media accounts we should pay any attention to is the strangerthingswriters account #and accounts connected to the ST team NOT the Netflix team #it's just about audience engagement for them #the only thing we can do is continue liking/supporting pro-Byler comments on there when we see them #byler #< target audience

extremely funny trucy moment is her buying all of the gavinners merch before the concert & then admitting to apollo she’d never really listened to the gavinners before but justifies it because thats what teenage girls are supposed to do, as if being a teenager is some kind of checklist she’s marking things off on

#ace attorney #trucy autism moments #for some reason i feel like klavier would do this too #apollo asks him why he buys something & he goes 'am i not the target demographic here? #should i not congradulate the marketing team on pinpointing their audience so sucessfully?' #says nothing about whether or not he actually likes the thing #aster speaks #a plays aa

I'm going to live in the same city as Rhys for a couple months, so I'm going to start carrying around a little book, making really intense eye contact with him, then writing in it, and when he asks what I'm doing I'm gonna be like 'writing your biography?? Obviously??'

Because I definitely don't annoy him enough already from 400 miles away

#i thought tumblr was the right target market for this lol #it is based on a pre-established mm i wanna say joke but it's more like pre-established bit that i think is hilarious conceptually #and rhys in very older brother fashion is very sincere about
