Amalynda (Portia's soulmate) came over the next day. They get along better nowadays.

This is Hestia. Hestia owns half of my heart.

I was tagged by @cassymblr, thankies!

Last song: the Bizarrap session with Daddy Yankee (i think they have names but not on Spotify?)

Favorite Color: Orange, tho i really like deep purple too, or any deep color actually.

Currently Watching: a SeanieDew live replay. For real, I have no TV shows at the moment, this year is sloooow in terms of series.

Sweet, Savory, or Sour: At the moment, savory (which is unusual for me).

Currently Reading: Evermore (book two in the Everless series). It's on the younger side of YA, but I just finished Last Chance Live and I needed an emotionally easy read... tho it's still fantasy, still has death and suffering, don't go read that expecting all love of kittens cause of me.

Current Obsession: Two Point Campus. I have not finished the main game story-quest, but I wanna 100% it because it's so good.

Last Google Search: no freaking clue. I use private nav for everything, and it was before my nap so I don't remember.

Currently working on: reading more (used to be my favourite thing to do, I miss it), getting an internship so I can "show motivation" enough to get state funding to train as a pet groomer, spending more quality time with my cats (they have been very sick and most of our interactions this past month have been health related), also getting a shit ton of health diagnoses done, both physical and mental. I'm just trying to get my life

together lmao.

Hi. This is a very random before-sleep thought but I need to share it. I have genuinely been wondering for forever why people release event-themed CC for public after the actual event. I know the short answer is « money », but if that’s true… are they really that bad at marketing?

And then I realize… yes, they are. They do not understand how things work. Think about it. How often do you see a creator’s « April CC collection » with a public release date on May 2th? Like, if a creator who does that sees this… sorry to tell you but for the vast majority of people that’s your May collection. And if the collection is Easter themed (this is an hypothetical, I haven’t seen anyone do Easter CC this year), very few of us need Easter CC in May. Of course it will trigger some people’s FOMO and they’ll want to get it ASAP so they can make their edits… but it also makes you look bad to non-paying people, aka potential customers.

Meanwhile… if you put that April Easter-themed collection up for early access in March, with a release date 1-2 days before Easter, the people who can afford to pay will still do it, cause 1-2 days is a short time to plan out a lookbook or edit, AND the people who don’t pay (which are the majority) will still have a little bit of time to put something together, and you will be getting exposure from the increased public use of your stuff. It will also make you look good, which matters more than some seem to believe.

Anyways, I don’t see how this isn’t obvious? Trying to be capitalists is making a lot of these people earn less than they could.

I still am 100% against early access by the way. It’s just, if you are gonna do it… at least do it well?

Of course, Bunny won't retire, at least not yet. I watched for the last time as she walked through the door in her ugly politician uniform...
