*Record scratch* *Freeze frame* Yep, that’s us. You’re probably wondering how we got here.

The internet is changing, and with it, social media. We partnered with Archrival who asked Gen Z (aka, you) and Millennial folks (also you) what’s important to you in online communities. Some interesting trends emerged from those conversations, and we thought you might like to take a look and see what tracks for you.

The Trends:

Broken Social Scenes. Too much content, too little organic connection. You want something deeper.

Network Effect. You’re creating new networks that nurture belonging through intimacy, exclusivity, and IRL meet-ups. (Communities, anyone?)

The New Rules of Influence. Connections, not followers. Influencers that build trust and real engagement matter more to you than big numbers. 

Community, According to you. Community building must be holistic. Social media must be social. Community is not a marketing strategy.

Conversation starter where I sit beside you and tell you how JK Rowling sued a Durga Pujo pandal near my home back when I was a child in 2000s Kolkata, because the pandal was a Hogwarts castle replica. And then she lost.

‘Rowling and others’ vs puja committee

Salt Lake's Durga Puja committee thought it would build its pandal around Harry Potter's theme, till it received a notice from the Delhi HC

So some of you might’ve noticed I didn’t post part 16 on Sunday and that’s mainly because I’ve been sick. I haven’t made a lot of progress on the comic besides some little sketches.

Don’t worry I plan to get back on schedule once I start feeling better.

In the meantime, enjoy this little comic of Mars pulling out her brain! This isn’t canon just more venting my frustrations with this cold.

Anyways, love you all!

HOLD THE LINE!! KEEP PUSHING!!!!!

Write Your Story

I just showed my 11-year-old son how many coffee shop AUs there are on AO3.

Why?

He sat down the other day to write a Minecraft story about three kids who go through a portal in their back yard and end up in the world of Minecraft where they have to battle all the big bosses (I didn’t even realize there WERE big bosses in Minecraft but that’s beside the point). He wrote three chapters with a little input from me – his first beta – and y'all?

He was fucking excited. To be writing a story.

Today he came home from school and seemed a little down, so I asked him about it only to find out that some little asshole at his school told him, “There is already a Minecraft story.”

Me: Okay? So what?

Lucifer: If there’s already a story, no one will read mine.

Immediately, I dragged him in and pulled up my AO3 account. My boys know I write fanfiction, so I showed him my account and how many subscribers I have. Then I showed him how many Teen Wolf stories there are. And then, because it seemed like the perfect analogy, I said, “What if I wrote a story where two characters meet in a coffee shop and fall in love? No werewolves, nothing at all to do with the actual Teen Wolf universe. Just Stiles and Derek meet in a coffeeshop and fall in love.”

He laughed.

I showed him Mornings Aren’t For Everyone. Showed him how many hits it had, how many kudos, how many lovely comments.

Then I said, “So do you think, if anyone else wrote a story about those exact same characters meeting in a coffee shop and falling in love… would anyone read it?”

He laughed and said, “No because you already did.”

So I clicked on the Sterek tag and refined to coffee shop AU. His mind was blown to see that they ALL had thousands of hits and kudos and comments. Then I clicked on JUST the coffee shop AU tag and showed him all the fics across all the fandoms written by countless different people.

I’m going to tell you all now what I told him because it applies to everyone.

Write your story. It doesn’t matter that someone else has written a story about that subject. They didn’t write YOUR story. Only you can do that.

And I want to read your story.

I’m about to save you thousands of dollars in therapy by teaching you what I learned paying thousands of dollars for therapy:

It may sound woo woo but it’s an important skill capitalism and hyper individualism have robbed us of as human beings.

Learn to process your emotions. It will improve your mental health and quality of life. Emotions serve a biological purpose, they aren’t just things that happen for no reason.

1. Pause and notice you’re having a big feeling or reaching for a distraction to maybe avoid a feeling. Notice what triggered the feeling or need for a distraction without judgement. Just note that it’s there. Don’t label it as good or bad.

2. Find it in your body. Where do you feel it? Your chest? Your head? Your stomach? Does it feel like a weight everywhere? Does it feel like you’re vibrating? Does it feel like you’re numb all over?

3. Name the feeling. Look up an emotion chart if you need to. Find the feeling that resonates the most with what you’re feeling. Is it disappointment? Heartbreak? Anxiety? Anger? Humiliation?

4. Validate the feeling. Sometimes feelings misfire or are disproportionately big, but they’re still valid. You don’t have to justify what you’re feeling, it’s just valid. Tell yourself “yeah it makes sense that you feel that right now.” Or something as simple as “I hear you.” For example: If I get really big feelings of humiliation when I lose at a game of chess, the feeling may not be necessary, but it is valid and makes sense if I grew up with parents who berated me every time I did something wrong. So I could say “Yeah I understand why we are feeling that way given how we were treated growing up. That’s valid.”

5. Do something with your body that’s not a mental distraction from the feeling. Something where you can still think. Go on a walk. Do something with your hands like art or crochet or baking. Journal. Clean a room. Figure out what works best for you.

6. Repeat, it takes practice but is a skill you can learn :)

i can't figure out if this is sarcasm or not; especially given the shitposting tag
