☆ — ft. atsumu miya + getting leaked

warnings: 18+, tsumu being nasty

a/n: a little thought of mine, i can totally imagine msby being up in arms because there’s an “alleged” video out.

atsumu is a nightmare for msby’s pr team.

at this point no one is even surprised when there’s a new viral vid on twitter of him fucking you from behind or stuffing his face in your ass. the lewd photography the two of you take may never have your faces in them but, it’s definitely you two, everyones knows that.

he has no shame, and neither do his teammates. the most recent scandal was a video of him fucking you in the new pair of handcuffs that seemed to get everyone’s attention.

it was another ordinary day for him as he walked in the locker room to see everyone on their phones after practice. the air was tense and everyone was thinking the same thing, he knew that they’d seen it and they were wondering why he didn’t care.

kiyoomi was the first to break the silence, as expected.

“so….miya”

atsumu flips his towel over his shoulder not even sparing his friend a glance. “how many times did you cum from watching it?” he cockily chuckled leaving the rest of the locker room in awe.

“SO IT IS YOU” bokuto exclaimed before starting to laugh along side hinata.

“i have no idea what you’re talkin’ about bo-kun”

the devil was a liar, and so was atsumu miya.

despite lying to his team claiming that the video wasn’t his, he enjoyed toying with the curiosity of others.

sakusa muttered a small “tch” under his breath as he reached into his pocket for his phone.

the video started playing.

atsumu’s lips curl into a smile as he finally turns to face the rest of the locker room as sakusa holds his phone to the blondes face. “that’s literally your girlfriend, miya.”

experiencing it was one thing but watching it was something else. the 20 second video played over and over again of your face stuffed into the sheets as atsumu fucked you full of his cum, your muffled whining echoed throughout the room until sakusa finally turned his phone off.

“she sounds pretty doesn’t she?” he smirked.

everyone was guilty to getting off to you, and atsumu knew that, it simply boosted his pride.

grabbing his bag his walks to the door, but doesn’t leave until spewing condescending words just to keep his friends on their toes.

“knock yourselves out.”

the door closes behind him meanwhile everyone looks at each other confused before receiving a collective notification, to a google drive with all of your porn on it.

I’ve got an original request for ya, dw this wont be sent to any other blog and if it is it was not me 🛐 the reader won’t be pregnant but her and Bill already have their toddler and they’re at that stage when they repeat everything they hear. So during a livestream (reader is a member of tokio hotel) they’re just talking with fans and the boys and the kid suddenly says a swear word in either german or english super loud in the back. Bill and the reader just look at each other like “where did it learn that” and the others are loosing it

Got it from who?

B. Kaulitz x F! Reader

Synopsis: maybe having your kid around the band wasn't such a good idea💀

Notes: just fluff, cussing, bill and Name have a daughter, based on 2023! Bill, got inspo from a video of Gustav

A/N: Since it wasn't specified, I made this 2023 Bill I hope that's alright. You can imagine it as any Bill Ijust have it as 2023 Bill because I feel like it fits this prompt better! I hope you enjoy❤️❤️

- Having a kid with Bill was honestly the best decision of your life

-He's such a naturally good dad and the kid grows up too be so amazing

-mostly...

-Your kid went with you everywhere

-whether it be to concerts or interviews

-when she was old enough to make her own decisions, you let her come on stage with the rest of the band

-The fans are wild about her

-she gets just so many gifts like you guts had to make another room to put all her gifts in

-even though she's spoiled rotten b gifts her personality sure doesn't show it

-She's just the sweetest kid to everyone (she has a little bit of beef w/ Georg though for some reason)

-So, you can imagine you and Bill's surprise when she randomly cussed during a fan livestream

-You and Bill were busy chatting with the rest of the band when it happened

-it was so shocking Bill thought he misheard

-"What...what did she just say?"

-Bill was so embarrassed

-The viewers full on erupted when she said it

-went viral on so many platforms

-'Name and Bill Kaulitz's daughter cussing like a sailor'

-"what did she say???" "OMG WHATTTT??" "HAHAH SHE JUST CUSSED" "WORLDSTARRRR" -it didn't help that the rest of the band was laughing their asses of in the background

-she even repeated it when Bill asked what she said

-"Hör auf, eine Fotze zu sein"(stop being a cunt/pussy)

-she was apparently talking to one of her toys

-you and Bill started bickering like children about who she got it from

-"she definitely got it from you" "No. Way. I would never say!"

-until out of nowhere tom interrupts you guys-

-"Sounds like something Gustav would say."

-you both just stared at his goofy filtered face like "...he's so right"

-Gustav got a beating the next time you both saw him

-definitely stopped bringing her to all of the tours

-when you did, she was always cussing during interviews because it made all the fans laugh

Is there any info on G5’s performance financially? People have been saying it’s been doing poorly since 2021, but there hasn’t really been much evidence. There have been pictures and talk of stores getting rid of it through clearance sales and such, but I find that’s more regional thing; all of stores near me not only still carry MLP, but it rarely goes on clearance, too. To add onto the confusion, Hasbro themselves seems/claims to be confident and investing more money into G5. At the same time, they haven’t mentioned it in an quarterIy report since 2021. I don’t know what think. How do you personally think G5 is doing?

Hasbro has much bigger fish to fry, and they have been cutting costs for basically everything that they can. Wizards of the Coast is now the only part of Hasbro that isn't losing money and Hasbro still laid off lots of that division's staff in December 2023.

Because Hasbro is doing inventory reductions across all their franchises, and because a lot of people have switched to online shopping over the past decade, it's difficult to use anecdotal observations to judge MLP's success. There does seem to be a broad sentiment among MLP toy collectors that the franchise hasn't been doing as well.

The reason that MLP isn't mentioned in Hasbro's investor reports any more is primarily that in 2022 they changed their definition of "franchise brands" and started calling MLP a "portfolio brand" instead, reflecting that it was no longer one of Hasbro's seven biggest brands, but there could be any number of explanations for how that happened.

MLP's no longer been Hasbro's biggest "girl brand" since they got Peppa Pig in 2019.

MLP's growth was primarily because of Friendship Is Magic, and that growth mostly happened before 2015. (Hasbro avoids emphasizing revenue decreases, so that's probably why MLP's revenue wasn't mentioned as a dollar amount after 2015.)

The 2021 movie, My Little Pony: A New Generation, didn't have a properly measurable impact, because its originally-planned theatrical release was cancelled due to the pandemic.

Brian Goldner, who was Hasbro's CEO for about 13 years, died in 2021, and was replaced as CEO by Chris Cocks (yes, that's his real name). It's not clear if Cocks has made any good decisions yet.

It's obvious that both Hasbro and the MLP franchise have seen better days, at least financially, and Hasbro's level of investment into MLP has clearly been decreasing. However, the viral success of G4 isn't something that could be easily replicated, and G4 itself wasn't able to sustain its own viral or financial success. It would probably be fairer to compare G5 to other TV shows/toy lines based on standalone movies than to compare it to G4.

what advice would you give to a trans person who is terrified of getting health checks such as pap smears? I'm generally rather touch-averse and that doubled with the dysphoria makes it very scary to think about.

Hi Anon,

This is a topic close to my heart, because I myself am touch-averse and have a trauma response to pelvic examinations. I also want to make sure everyone understands why it's important to get pap smears!

Let's start with what pap smears are, why they're important, and who they are for. Maybe understanding that will be the first step in finding the strength and courage to go through with them.

QUICK ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY LESSON - THE PAP SMEAR

What is a pap smear for?

Your cervix is the gateway to your uterus, sitting atop the vagina. It's a thick ring of muscle that is normally closed, opening just a tiny bit for menses to escape (the sensation of the muscle opening is what causes cramps).

Now, the trouble comes when cervical cells have been infected with a virus called human papillomavirus (or HPV) - especially certain "high-risk" strains. HPV is very common in the human population - almost everyone sexually active has had it at some time, with about 50% of infections being a high-risk type. Most people just clear the virus themselves and never even know. But sometimes, this viral infection will start a process of dysplasia (basically growing weird cells), which can be the start of cervical cancer.

The job of a pap smear is to check the cervical cells for dysplastic changes that indicate things might progress towards cancer, or for the virus itself. (What it looks for specifically depends on your age and previous results, but the process is the same for you). When lesions are found early, they are VERY easily treatable. The pap smear saves thousands of lives every year by preventing cervical cancers.

How is a pap smear performed?

A device called a speculum will need to be inserted into your vagina to hold open the walls of the vagina and allow the provider to visualize the cervix. Once this is in place, a soft brush-like device is passed up through the vagina, pressed against the cervix, and swirled around several times to collect cells. This may feel weird or uncomfortable, but shouldn't cause pain. Most people don't feel it at all, the speculum being the worst part. The whole thing takes about one minute.

Separate from the pap smear, the provider may also perform a bimanual exam, which is when they insert fingers from one hand into the vagina while pressing down on the abdomen, to look for masses, abnormalities or tenderness.

Who needs a pap smear?

CURRENTLY (as of 2023), everyone with an intact cervix who is 21 or older is recommended to get pap smears, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, or sexual history. Between ages 21-29, you should go every 3 years, and after age 30, every 5 years (depending on results - if you get a positive, you would need more frequent observation).

If you are older than 21 and have never had any kind of sexual contact with anyone at all (including hands, mouths, or sharing toys!), you can discuss with your provider to see if a modified schedule may make sense based on your risk level.

Note: The HPV vaccine may change these recommendations in the future! I strongly recommend getting the vaccine if you have not already!

---

OK, Anon. With that public service announcement out of the way, let's talk about the real meat of your question.

The best thing I can recommend is to take the time to find a provider you vibe with. Someone with whom you feel safe, with whom you have mutual respect. See if your local LGTBQIA+ support group has recommendations, or if any clinics in your area have providers that specialize in LGTBQIA+ or trauma-informed care. Call and ask providers questions about how they handle people who struggle with pelvic exams. Generally, avoid crusty old men.

A good provider will warn you before ever touching any part of your body, go slowly, and ask permission each time, and stop the second you tense up. A GREAT provider will make you feel in control the whole time - they may let you insert the speculum yourself and not make you use stirrups if they're triggering for you. Medical consent is the same as sexual consent - just because you're disrobed in that room doesn't mean you need to let anyone touch you. You do not have to undergo a pap smear with a provider you don't trust. You are allowed to walk away.

Other things to try:

You can ask for a short-acting anti-anxiety medicine, like Xanax, to take before the visit, provided you've got a ride.

You can bring a companion, or ask for a nurse to hold your hand.

Chat nonstop, tell stupid jokes, or listen to music on headphones, whatever kind of distraction works best for you.

Meditate, practice belly breathing, really focus on full body relaxation, especially of the pelvic muscles

Remind yourself that it's one minute every few years for the piece of mind that you won't get cancer.

Be open to the possibility that it won't be as bad as you're fearing.

Know that you are brave and strong. You can do hard things. You can do anything for one minute.

If any other trans folx out there want to share tips with Anon for how to navigate gynecologic exams, please share!

WOOHOO - Simoleon (2022). On her debut album, South Side Bridge rapper Simoleon makes it clear that she's not afraid to speak her mind. After 2 mixtapes and a viral single, she signed to Plumbob Productions and started working with producer Sul Ekko, a risky move according to many. Although he is now the most sought after producer in the genre, he was not really known for working with rappers before Simoleon approached him. "WOOHOO" was an ambitious project, including 23 tracks, with features from industry legends like Quay Acapella and FREEZR. However, the album was an instant number one and spawned multiple social media trends. On songs like "CC" She raps: "Body so tea, they think it's sliders." & "I haven't rocked maxis since a toddler." And on the title track "WOOHOO," She playfully muses on her past lovers, mentioning Sims like Destiny Cline and disgraced comic Johnny Zest by name. In the controversial music video, she is seen dancing in what appears to be a bed, wearing a corset made from repurposed WooHoo toys and surrounded by multicolored guns. The outfit she wears in the video inspired the viral "Tailored Toys" trend, where participants cut up pieces of Woohoo toys and made them into gowns, headpieces, bags, etc. She was chosen as the QI Magazine star of the year for 2022. However, following a Tweeter scandal started over some uncertainty pertaining to her racial & ethnic background, she was cancelled and dropped by Plumbob Productions. She recently released an EP titled "PAYWALL" in 2023 to mixed reactions.

Deconstructing the Message of Barbiecore

Hey there, lovely readers! Welcome back to "Fashion Fables," your go-to source for insightful commentary on fashion through a multidisciplinary lens. Today, we're delving into the fascinating world of Barbiecore, a viral fashion trend that's been making waves recently. We'll be dissecting the underlying messages of two articles that shed light on this trend: "The Long, Complicated, and Very Pink History of Barbiecore" by Cady Lang on TIME and "What Is Barbiecore? Everything to Know About the Viral Fashion Trend Inspired by Barbie" by Skyler Caruso on PEOPLE.

The Long, Complicated, and Very Pink History of Barbiecore by Cady Lang

In the article by Cady Lang on TIME, published on June 27, 2023, we are introduced to the concept of Barbiecore. Lang discusses how Barbiecore is a fashion trend inspired by the iconic Barbie doll, known for its pink hues and glamorous style. The article unravels the history of Barbie, how it evolved as a symbol of beauty standards, and how it has influenced modern fashion. Lang emphasizes that Barbiecore's resurgence signifies a shift in embracing individuality and subverting traditional notions of femininity.

What Is Barbiecore? Everything to Know About the Viral Fashion Trend Inspired by Barbie by Skyler Caruso

Skyler Caruso's article on PEOPLE, updated on July 19, 2023, further explores the Barbiecore trend. Caruso highlights the aesthetic elements of Barbiecore fashion, such as bold colors, retro-inspired outfits, and playful accessories. The article describes how social media platforms have contributed to the trend's popularity, as influencers and fashion enthusiasts share their interpretations of Barbiecore. Caruso also touches on the inclusivity aspect of Barbiecore, where individuals of all genders and body types can participate in the trend.

Identifying the Mediated Messages

It's crucial to recognize that all media messages are constructed with a creative language. In the case of these articles, the authors use language and visuals to convey the essence of the Barbiecore trend. They also present the trend in a specific light, reflecting the values and perspectives of the platforms they represent.

Deconstructing the Content

Cady Lang's article on TIME unravels the extensive history of Barbie and how it has influenced the emergence of the Barbiecore trend. It traces Barbie's evolution from her inception as a toy to her transformation into a cultural icon. This article highlights the intricate relationship between Barbie's legacy and the resurgence of pink-hued, nostalgic fashion.

Skyler Caruso's piece on PEOPLE takes a more contemporary approach, providing a comprehensive overview of the Barbiecore trend. The article breaks down the trend's key characteristics, from its emphasis on pink aesthetics to its celebration of nostalgia. It also discusses how influencers and fashion enthusiasts have embraced Barbiecore as a form of self-expression.

Both articles construct messages that celebrate the Barbiecore trend, albeit from slightly different angles. Lang's article on TIME emphasizes the historical significance of Barbie and the trend's potential to challenge beauty norms. It connects Barbiecore to a broader cultural shift towards embracing diverse forms of self-expression.

On the other hand, Caruso's article takes a more visual approach. It highlights the visual elements and accessibility of Barbiecore, catering to a younger, trend-focused audience. The inclusion of social media as a driving force behind the trend speaks to the influence of profit and power in shaping fashion trends through digital platforms.

Presenting Key Ideas

These messages can be further deconstructed as we delve into the key concepts and ideas presented in these articles:

Constructed Narrative

The construction of narratives in media plays a pivotal role in shaping how we perceive trends like Barbiecore. Both articles construct narratives around Barbiecore. In Cady Lang's TIME article, the narrative skillfully weaves together the history of Barbie, the evolution of fashion, and broader cultural shifts. By connecting Barbie's legacy with contemporary fashion, the article suggests that Barbiecore is more than just a trend – it's a culmination of decades of influence. This narrative appeals to readers' sense of nostalgia and appreciation for cultural history, positioning Barbiecore as a bridge between the past and the present.

On the other hand, Skyler Caruso's PEOPLE article takes a more immediate approach. It frames Barbiecore as a viral sensation rooted in nostalgia and self-expression, highlighting its current popularity and the way it has quickly captured the attention of fashion enthusiasts. This narrative capitalizes on the fast-paced nature of digital media and social trends, portraying Barbiecore as a trend of the moment that's reflective of current attitudes and aesthetics.

Embedded Values

Both articles subtly embed certain values associated with Barbiecore. They celebrate individuality, creativity, and the empowerment of embracing one's unique style. By spotlighting how individuals interpret and embody Barbiecore, the articles champion the idea that fashion is a form of self-expression and a way to assert one's identity.

However, there's also an inherent consumerist value that's embedded in the articles. As they discuss the popularity of Barbiecore, they indirectly promote the idea of purchasing items to fit the trend. The more attention the trend receives, the more likely it is to lead to increased sales and profits for fashion brands. This consumerist value is intricately tied to the commercial nature of the fashion industry.

Diverse Experiences

One of the fundamental principles of media literacy is recognizing that different people can experience the same media in diverse ways. Readers of these articles will likely have varying reactions to Barbiecore based on their personal backgrounds, cultural perspectives, and fashion preferences. Some might resonate with the nostalgia and find the trend empowering, as it allows them to connect with a beloved childhood icon and express themselves through fashion.

Conversely, others might perceive the trend differently. They might question whether Barbiecore perpetuates traditional gender norms due to its association with the iconic Barbie doll, known for its portrayal of femininity. Though today’s idea of Barbie and Barbiecore presents a more inclusive and empowering narrative; there are still critics who think that its just another “woke” trend. These diverse interpretations are important and we should engage in conversations that explore different viewpoints.

Profit and Power

In today's media landscape, it's evident that articles are often structured to engage readers and generate profit for media platforms. The choice of headlines, visuals, and language is carefully curated in both the articles from TIME and PEOPLE to capture attention and encourage clicks, which in turn increases ad revenue or website traffic.

As readers, it's important to be aware of how media messages are strategically designed to influence our perceptions. While the goal of these articles could be seen as to open a dialogue about Barbiecore, it is not just that, its also to maintain the financial viability of the platforms. This awareness prompts us to consume media critically, recognizing that the presentation of information could be influenced by underlying bias, motives and agendas.

. . .

By deconstructing the narratives, values, diverse experiences, and underlying profit motives of these articles, we enhance our media literacy skills. We become more adept at deciphering the complexities of media messages, developing a well-rounded understanding of trends like Barbiecore as presented in the articles, and engaging with content in a more informed and critical manner.

Wrapping It Up

In conclusion, exploring the articles about Barbiecore reminds us of the intricate interplay between fashion trends, media messages, creativity, values, and commercial interests. As fashion enthusiasts, it's essential to engage with media critically and appreciate the multifaceted nature of trends like Barbiecore. By critically analyzing and deconstructing the narratives presented in these articles we gain a richer understanding of how different sources can convey similar messages with distinct nuances. We enhance our ability to perceive the layers of meaning within the Barbiecore trend and develop a more informed perspective on the multidimensional world of fashion.

Stay tuned for more thought-provoking insights and fashion stories right here on "Fashion Fables"!

Until next time, keep rocking your unique style!

M3GAN

“M3GAN” seems to be divisive depending on what you were looking for in this movie, but not consequential enough to be contentious.

Gemma is a roboticist who works for a toy company. After the untimely death of her sister and brother-in-law, Gemma is forced to be the guardian of their daughter, Cady. Gemma decides that Cady would be perfect for the new prototype she’s been working on. The prototype is a child-sized humanoid robot named M3GAN and is designed to be the ultimate toy, tasked with protecting its primary user. The problem is, M3GAN takes her job too far.

When I saw the trailers for this movie, I didn’t think much of it. It seemed generic to me since killer doll movies are extremely common. Hell, this isn’t even the first AI killer doll movie either. Like everyone, I thought the dance was quirky and then thought nothing of it. Apparently, the marketing for this movie has been insane. Every review for this movie I saw talked about how the M3GAN dance has been flooding their TikTok page. I don’t have TikTok, so I never saw any of this marketing. I also found out that the dance was performed at the Super Bowl, which was also something I didn’t watch. Needless to say, it’s clear the studio was more focused on internet virality, rather than coming up with a good reason for the movie to exist. The trailers basically give all the parts that are worth watching away. The violence was toned down dramatically, to the point where it made M3GAN less threatening. This was to ensure “M3GAN” would get a PG-13 rating, which also feels like a money-making ploy. The whole premise just felt like a hard sell to me because I couldn’t get behind the idea that this toy company would be ecstatic about a $10,000 toy after one demonstration. I also couldn’t get behind why they let Gemma just keep the prototype afterward to show off publicly. A lot of the praise for this movie comes from people who were convinced that this movie was a self-aware comedy. I’m not too sure about that. Sure, there are moments that had me blowing air out of my nose, but it wasn’t outright funny. With horror, I always expect some small level of comedy to balance out the bleak tone. This was just that to me. Small bits of necessary comedy to balance out the tone. It doesn’t really feel like “Scream” where the comedy is an intentional addition to the horror. There’s no real tension throughout the movie because this movie wasn’t interested in putting its main characters at any real risk. The movie does the bare minimum and then teases a potential sequel without properly ending the movie. It just ends abruptly. I think the annoying part is that the movie will inevitably get a sequel. I see discussions online about what they want to see in a sequel. The strong emphasis on marketing for this movie has made this movie extremely profitable. There’s no way that Blumhouse isn’t going to make this into a franchise. I just hope that when the sequel eventually does come out, they put in a little more effort than they did with this movie.

Going Back to School So Soon?

The use of AI is very intriguing these days. They continue to create new trends that go viral across social media. In this new app EPIK has brought us this new yearbook generator that creates AI images of yourself making you look like you are back in high school. EPIK is taking over the internet, including your favorite celebrities, by storm.

When consumers open the app, they can upload selfies of themselves while the app generates their photos. This will make consumers want to check their phones constantly since the images take a while to process. Also, they want to share it with friends immediately. It is like when you buy a new toy then you play with it for a few days then something else is on the market. Same with an app, it comes and goes.

Many celebrities and influencers like beauty guru Bretman Rock, actress Keke Palmer, YouTuber Hila Klein and Twitch streamer Pokimane are using the app to create ‘90s-inspired school photos.

TikTok has caught users' attention for several reasons, reflecting the platform’s purpose which is creating, sharing original shorts, and engaging content.

TikTok users, primarily comprised of younger generations, have an interest in nostalgia. The Yearbook AI trend taps into this sentiment by offering a modern take on the classic yearbook experience.

Jeudi 10 Août 2023 ❤ 🙏 Excellente journée à toi!

Texte d l’encadré:

Romains 5:19 (PDV)

« Comme par la désobéissance d’un seul, tous les hommes sont devenus pécheurs, de même, par l’obéissance d’un seul, beaucoup sont déclarés justes. »

« Résumons : par un seul homme (Adam), le péché a fait son entrée dans le monde. À sa suite est venue la mort qui a étendu sa domination sur toute l’humanité : aucun homme n’a encore réussi à se soustraire à son pouvoir, car aucun n’est libre du péché. » Romains5:12 (PDV)

Nous savons maintenant que nul n’est insensible à la menace et aux risques sur les maladies virales et contagieuses invoquées dans les médias de nos jours. La peur pour plusieurs et le mécontentement pour d’autres, justifiées ou pas qui menacent l’équilibre collective et individuelle dans la société. Nous ne devrions alors n’avoir aucune difficulté de reconnaître la contagiosité dont tout homme sans exception ne peut échapper dès leur naissance. Tous ont contractés par hérédité une nature pécheresse. Tout comme une maladie virale, pire, celle du péché qui n’est pas scientifique mais de nature spirituelle s’est étendu sur l’humanité tout entière. L’incidence est tel que la conscience de l’homme en est imprégnée jusqu’à emprunter des chemins tortueux à un moment ou un autre. Que ce soit par la médisance l’immoralité l’usage des drogues les dépendances les abus etc. L’antidote pour briser ce cycle, un seul en dehors de cette matrice génétiquement hérité du premier Adam, Jésus Christ le juste, qui est venu briser la malediction afin de fournir la solution ultime pour sortir de cette sentence mortelle et spirituelle chez l’homme. Salomon soulèvera qu’il n’y a point d’exception: « Il n’y a sur la terre point d’homme juste qui fasse le bien et qui ne pèche pas » (Eccl 7:20). Si nous comprenons que nous avons hérités de la nature du Péché originelle d’Adam, nous comprendrons aussi qu’un nouvel Adam spirituelle était nécessaire pour amener l’antidote de cette nature dans l’homme qui est délivré de cette nature par la foi. 1 Corinthiens 15:45 dit: « C'est pourquoi il est écrit: Le premier homme, Adam, devint une âme vivante. Le dernier Adam est devenu un esprit vivifiant. » c’est par la nouvelle naissance et la mort du vieil homme du péché en nous-mêmes, et de connaître la grâce et la vérité en Jésus Christ qui vous fera vaincre le corps du péché pour vivre sa paix au sein du corps de Christ. Lui qui transforme votre vie par l’Esprit, donc de trouver l’antidote est devenu urgent pour tous. Lui, le Christ ayant vaincu la mort, oui le premier afin que tous en lui connaissions la vie et la paix en abondance et pour toujours. Amen. Voir (Jn 3:3l Tite 3:5)

Par Denis Lapierre pour Jésus Christ Seul médiateur avec Dieu par le sang de son alliance

With the start of 2023, there are revolutionary opportunities with the trending NFT and its upcoming projects.

Explore and explode your chance with the 2023 NFT trends.

NFTs Trends — Why Are They Trending?

Non-Fungible Tokens or NFTs are digital assets with the ability to trade among crypto wallets. They are a unique set of collectibles, formerly art pieces and now everything can be digitized in the blockchain network. They also are utilized in other web3 spaces like gaming, business, metaverse, and Defi and have the ability to perform and be used for various different tasks.

And as they pay back their loan their NFT staked with the provider shall be given back.

NFT is now an inseparable feature of gaming, and the future is lit. With gaming giants entering blockchain, NFTs are sure to boom like no year in history.

Artificial Intelligence

NFTs created with AI today are very common and the trend has already emerged in the space. Bringing these phenomena together in a viral sequence can actually get huge returns for the creators. AI provides a completely new, unique, and dynamic experience for the users, avoiding repetitions and copies. The Alethea AI which is already in action is the first decentralized protocol creating intelligent avatars with AI that can interact with society — bringing a totally new knowledge stream with connections.

Fractional NFTs

The name itself suggests — fractional NFTs meaning fractional ownership of the token in the real world or digital world. This is where different parties have joint ownership of the asset while the rights, its ownership, and cost are divided among them. This is today becoming more encouraging for users to hold high-valued NFTs. and it’s also accepted by many.

NFT collectibles and rare items are also traded for fractional ownership.

Used for n-game and virtual asset trading also.

Despite its rough time, there are many individuals, from digital artists to major brands, who have hope for NFS for their inherent transparency and accessibility qualities. With the high hope and standards that NFT has set, they are building blocks to host a stronger space with the growth of web3 and its evolutions.
