Hello everyone. I am a 23 year old roleplayer. This was a RP I did years ago so going to try to revive it.
IDEA
The main idea is that now all the Disney kids have had children and now go to school together. We will pick a could and play their kid. We can plot out a slice of life RP and the RP will be our characters
There are 2 things I am looking for which. I will mention in the characters section of this post.
CHARACTERS
My character will be the son of prince charming. He will be the person that everyone has a crush on without question. If you like men, your into him and if your not into men you are jealous or want to be him.
So what I would like from your character you character. I have a preference for if you want to be a male and for a female.
For a male character I would like of you played the son of another prince and princess. Our characters would be best friends since we are both royalty. If you would like that we can even do a friends to lovers thing, but I am fine with just friendship. I really wouldike one of these.
For a female character we can do a simple prince and princess RP.
Those are just some simple ideas but you can be anyone.
Here are some...

Who else like me is disappointed with the current happenings on the Kenyan YouTube and Podcasting space? The taking over of new channels of communication by old media practitioners and bringing their ill manners and old habits with them onto the new space.
When social media became a thing, we all loved the new kids that came along. It was raw talent and a breath of fresh of air, a break from the stale content we had been fed by mainstream media. The crass Caroline Mutoko mornings and endless gender wars championed by Maina Kanegeni to mention a few. Morning talk shows were all about sex and relationship stories. The aftermath of the era rears its ugly head here with kids who grew up in that era unable to process anything else but sex and relationship stories.
Mainstream media glorified comedy over substance. In a functional media there was no way a mediocre comedian like Obinna would have survived for a day on mainstream.
It is sad seeing these same people using their cred of short stints on mainstream and stifling the new kids that were already doing amazing content. I recently watched two videos posted by Obinna where he hosted Miguna Miguna and that wannabe comedian is quite shallow intellectually. He couldn’t even ask Miguna controversial subjects like whether his book was funded by NIS. The worst I have seen so far is his Interview with Baba Kimani. He did such a horrible job of forcing a laughter on his audience from a father retrieving his son from an abyss of addiction.
I'm just going through my Subscription listing, unsubscribing from these old media wannabes to prevent their grime from infiltrating my feed.

Question for other artists since I'm not sure where else to post this. We recently started a TikTok channel since we heard it was a really good place to market us and get seen. Our first video showed a fanart based product. No links were made to the item and was just us saying, hey look at this! It did pretty good but then suddenly stopped getting views. We got a notification that it wasn't eligible for feeds because it violated community guidelines. The reason given was "unoriginal, low quality, or qr code content". I appealed it since we drew everything but it got denied.
My question is, I'm trying to better understand what exactly it is that broke the rule. I'm not at all a big TikTok person so I'm not super familiar with it but I know I've seen people posting fanart and even clips from shows. I can't find a way to contact support directly to get better clarification so I'm hoping someone here might know. Was it because the fanart was presented as merch? I know selling fanart is a whole can of worms legally but I'm not asking for legal advice. This is solely trying to find out what we did wrong per TikTok rules so we can avoid it again.

I've managed to complete season 22 here in the UK thanks to a mix of finding another means and Disney+.
Honestly, what a mess of a season. Probably for the best the writers strike happened and it was cut down to fifteen episodes. The show is a shadow of what it was. It felt as if how many random plots can we put together and hope for the best in.
The two celebs focused ones 'The Return of Kings of Queens' and 'Fat Actor' were dead on arrival. Pointless having a celeb in, who didn't do their own voice and around a couple of stupid stories. The finale (and this applies to a few others), had a couple of very abrupt endings that felt as if they wasted time and just dug themselves out of a big hole. The incest obsession was out of hand, and don't get me started on the tried and tested formula of an episode being a dream.
Aside from the negatives, there were some highlights such as 'Snapple Decision', 'Fertilized Meg', 'Supermarket Pete' and 'Baking Sad'. These four stood out as the best of the series and we're all on point with jokes and stories. I'm glad to see Meg as a character developed and featured a lot more. Probably my favourite Griffin.
Hopefully next season will be better. I want to see more Cleveland next season. Less drawn out scenes, proper endings, better writing and give everyone a chance to shine.
My rank: 5/10. It's a weak season that picked up from how Season 21 ended.

The first dream I can remember was two years ago when my neighbor died (he was family friend) I dreamed about seeing him while I was walking home, I knew he was dead and I was a bit scared of seeing him. He stopped me and said to me say hi to your parents from me, I said okay I will and ran home because I was scared. It bothered me for a few days and then my mom told me she had a weird dream, she described everything that happened in my dream and then I told her that we had the same dream.
I also dreamed about my grandpa's funeral a month before he actually passed, in that dream I was holding my spirit baby (a baby that hasn't been born yet but I know he's my son and we have a strong connection for years now).
A few days after my grandpa passed I dreamed about being in some house with my family and him (he was dead and laying in a casket). Suddenly he came back to life and talked to me asking me to find someone, he even said his name. In the dream I didn't know who he was asking for but when I woke up it clicked. He said my spirit baby's name but somehow in the dream I didn't realize it.
That same night I dreamed about my aunt who also passed, actually her grave, it was following me around, whenever I looked it was there, it freaked me out to be honest.
Fast forward to today, I had a scary dream in which I was sitting in my bedroom with a friend of mine while my mom was in the living room talking to my aunt, I was weirded out and told my friend something in the lines of this can't be happening my aunt is dead how is she here? I went to check out what's happening and my aunt was there but it wasn't her actual body it was a different one but I knew it was her, she had the same voice and everything. She asked to leave and I opened my door and let her out. She told me she'll be back later in the evening. I asked my mom what happened how is she here and she answered me saying: I don't know. She just called me on the phone and asked to come over. The first thing that came to my mind is to get salt and put a line in front of every window and the front door (I don't know if that's a real thing, I saw it in a tv show a couple of years ago I think I've read somewhere that salt keeps the spirits away). I missed one window and she started knocking on it and asking me why don't I want to let her in, suddenly a lot of spirits appeared (I don't know them) and backed me into a corner. I begged them to let me go and threw salt on them but it wasn't working. I told them that I'm pregnant (I'm not) and they left.
It was a really vivid dream and I don't what any of these mean. Could it be possible that I'm somehow channeling them? The thing is my mom also has similar dreams but the catch is she dreams of her mom before something bad happens and my grandma tells her everything will be okay.

Hi guys, I would like to open a discussion on when exactly a customer starts being a Karen. Because honestly, I feel that sometimes even if you are labeled as one it’s okay!
For context of where these thoughts are coming from, a few days ago my baby (M 5m) and I (F 29y) stop by the pharmacy on our way home from a long walk (we are located in Italy btw)
I’m wearing a pair of sporty high waisted trousers and a sports crop top from a Pilates set, nothing fancy, but a tiny bit of the upper part of my stomach is showing.
The pharmacist, as soon as I reach checkout and approach her, without even replying to my greeting, proceeds to criticize my outfit, saying exactly that I need to put a shirt on when entering the pharmacy because we are not on the beach (we are literally 500 mts from a beach but go on), but for this time she will LET IT SLIDE. I get so appalled at first that I don’t even know what to say, apart from saying that this is a top, not a bra nor a bikini top, but she repeats herself saying I can’t go around showing off my stomach.
10 minutes later I go back to return the item as this wasn’t sitting right with me and when I do the return with the same pharmacist I politely say to her that I didn’t like how I was treated and if the pharmacy has this request for their customers they should put a sign at the door (you know, same signs as when dogs are not allowed and stuff), not say it with such rudeness at checkout. She than snaps at me proceeding to let me know how this is common knowledge and respect for the society we live in and how I’m disrespectful and ill-mannered and stuff. I walk out to her rant, when she starting to raise her voice enough for people to start noticing and catching up on what’s going on.
As someone who is always in doubt if I’m wrong, especially for the fear of becoming a Karen, I later confirmed with my cousins wife who is also the pharmacist, that this behavior was not ok and absolutely unprofessional. She said people come to her in a bikini and see-through dress and she NEVER EVER thought of criticizing and saying something, it’s not her place to do it, people can wear what they want.
I now am planning a petty revenge on that, but stil wondering what the hell… I mean, we live in a world where women belittle and insult and shame other women for a little bit of skin? It felt like I was entering a church, not a fucking STORE!
Where is that line that transforms you from someone who just stands up for their rights and basic human respect becomes a Karen? I feel first people who worked retail where the one cornered, not being able to defend themselves… but now the tables turned completely and it’s the customer who at any moment when being attacked or mistreated can become a Karen and made fun of…
What you guys think?
To Charlotte: thank for your content, I got my partner addicted as well as my 4 months old son, we love watching your channel ❤️

I was talking to a friend about the topic of a world without people reaching adulthood and I remember a couple of TV shows from when I was younger about this.
I know The Tribe, I remember watching that one, but I remember another TV show where the world was populated by young adults but something stopped people from reaching 30 or 35. I can't remember if they volunteered to be killed or it was a virus or something but the world was run by young people. I don't think it was Oddessy as some suggested.
I remember a scene where someone in a wheelchair was nearing the cut off age and looking out over a river or lake, but someone wanted to tell them something or save them, but when found the wheelchair is empty (I think suggesting he drowned himself, it was a teen show).
This would have been in Australia, probably channel 2 or SBS. In the early 2000's just after school.
Anyone have any ideas? Or am I dreaming this up?

Long story short:
* Like everyone else, I had doubts before purchasing any of his courses, so I’ll mention the main points that were important to me before buying it (more on this when I talk about the four main problems I faced in my journey of self-development and attraction):
* Is the course worth it? Considering the impact it has had on my life, my answer is a resounding YES.
* Is there a cost-benefit balance? Absolutely yes.
* Will it help me in all areas of my life? Yes, especially with power dynamics. This course will offer you valuable insights that you can apply in any area of your life.
* Do the techniques and strategies really work? Yes, they do. However, like any course, the key is to you apply what you've learned and it also depends on the time and effort you're willing to invest to achieve lasting changes
Important note: I don't have any kind of relationship with Lucio or anyone on his team, and no one paid me to do this review, much less to share such intimate details. I am doing this of my own free will because I want to thank him for all the knowledge he has provided me, and I believe this could be useful for him and for anyone looking to determine whether what he teaches is useful or not. This review is not going to be directly about his courses; it is going to be about all the resources on TPM (The Power Moves), and specifically about the impact they have had on my life. Consider it more of a testimonial and also a personal opinion.
The following review is quite detailed, and really long. I really believe that writing less would strip away a lot of depth and context. I don’t expect everyone to read it entirely, but maybe it can offer some perspective to someone interested in buying the course. I’m not a special person (I mean like someone famous, or with a lot of academic titles, or any of that); I’m just a regular guy looking to improve the quality of my life and achieve enough economic prosperity to help the people I love most live the life they want, help those in need, people, animals…and if possible, gain valuable knowledge that helps me in my work as a psychologist. Nothing satisfies me more than seeing the faces of people when, with some time and effort, they realize they can do things they never thought possible and feel proud of themselves for achieving it. I also haven’t had it easy in my romantic life, and I’d like to find a healthy person who is also motivated to be a better human being and have a peaceful love. Learning about power will just be a means to contribute my little bit to this world. I’m not a writer, but I’ll try to outline what I consider to be the most important points to give you another perspective to consider, if you want to buy this course. My native language is Spanish, so due to the length of the text and my lack of skill in “speaking” another language, I decided to use ChatGPT as a translator (since I feel it does a better job than Google Translator), and I’ll make the necessary adjustments to make myself better understood.
For most of my life, I lived in deep loneliness and experienced a lot of abuse from people. I never understood why, no matter how many good things I did for others, I received mistreatment in return. My social programming whispered to me, “Do good things for others, and they will be good to you”, “Give to others what you would like to receive,” among many other things. But as time went by, I slowly fell into despair. Since I was 8 years old, I’ve had suicidal thoughts, strongly influenced by my social/romantic life. Eventually, I began to harbor unhealthy beliefs that took root in my way of thinking. For example, I thought I had to make enormous efforts to maintain the “affection” and “acceptance” people “had” for me. I also believed that if no one, not a single person, treated me with respect, it was because that was what I deserved. If no one was interested in who I was, it was because I was worth so little that I couldn’t ask for more from life and should be grateful for the crumbs of “love” I received. Regarding my love life, during my first 19 years, not a single person showed interest in me. I’m not extremely attractive, but based on social feedback, I’d say I’m slightly above average. Perhaps my short height would be the one physical trait that works against me, as I’m 1.63 meters or, as you might better understand, I’m 5’4”. As for internal traits related to girls, I treated them well, was respectful, showed interest in them, helped them, dedicated a lot of my time, and was unconditionally there for them through good and bad times. I was many things that, according to movies and the opinions of many girls (based solely on what they said they wanted), I thought would bring me plenty of women, and yet, not a single soul wanted to be with me. What I did achieve with the girls I liked was becoming their best friend. And so, I spent my days and nights listening to the girls I liked cry over aggressive men who mistreated them physically and emotionally and/or cheated on them with other girls. I didn’t understand it; I had a good set of values and not just with them but with everyone. I considered myself a good guy, competent in some areas, and was unconditionally there for them, and yet they preferred to be with clearly violent men. In one of the moments when I felt most miserable, the following happened: I liked a girl and expressed it to her, and although she initially reciprocated, a month later, she left me for someone else and started dating that person. In something very similar to therapy, I ended up helping her for almost three years to improve her relationship with her aggressive partner.
Here, I’d like to say something (nothing to do with the situation, but anyway, I wanted to share those thoughts with you): two of the worst things I was made to believe were: “You don’t have to change; someone will come and love you just as you are,” and “Romantic love is something that just happens naturally, stop looking for it. It will come to you.” Neither of these things ever happened, and both are awful, unempathetic and limiting mindsets.
Eight years ago, after spending some time in a psychiatric hospital due to suicidal ideation, I decided to completely change my life and committed to my personal growth. Every day without exception, I studied and applied the concepts I was learning in my spare time, while studying to one day become a psychologist. I bought books, courses (even from very prominent figures in the world of seduction and self-development that you would easily recognize). When I didn’t even have money to eat, I downloaded them from pirate sources, but I always found a way to keep progressing. I had many virtual teachers who helped me grow in different aspects, and I’m very grateful for the knowledge they provided me that helped me climb out of that black hole. Like many who embark on this journey, I reached a point where, no matter how much I read and took courses, there was nothing new to pull me out of my stagnation. Everything was the same. I had to constantly review new resources and listen to endless hours of videos to find a needle in a haystack. For me, it was no longer worth paying for a full course if what I was going to found was something I had likely already learned (a lot of times for free). Although I sought to develop on all levels, here I will emphasize the romantic part more. Generally, these learning resources had a couple of problems: the first is that I’ve never been the kind of person who wants to date multiple girls; I’m more the type of guy who seeks a stable partner. The second problem was that many people who teach dating skills ask you to have a very high energy level and I’m a very calm and rather introverted person (not shy, introverted). I don’t want to pretend to be excited or become friends with everyone around me to increase my social value (it’s very exhausting and not worth it as a long-term strategy). The third problem is that the advice of many people who want to promote healthy relationships (some of them psychologists), although well-intentioned, makes any spark that generated attraction nonexistent, generating very predictable behavior (in the bad way) among other things. – certainly, those tools are important for a healthy relationship, but they won’t necessarily make someone feel attracted to you (I find it unlikely). They are more of a positive complement that can help increase value when there is already attraction. After a while and thanks to Lucio’s reflections, I realized the problems and limitations that these gurus or psychologists, basically they are very “politically correct”. Finally, the last problem I found is that none of them addressed the true root of my problem. No matter how much I improved in all aspects, I still didn’t see results with girls. Yes, the number of girls approaching me increased slightly, but none wanted to be with me for a long-term relationship. That missing ingredient is called “power,” and although briefly mentioned in those courses, videos, books, etc., it was never sufficiently well explained to understand why I wasn’t achieving results. My problem was that my balance between warmth and power was enormously unbalanced. I was completely warm with people, but I didn’t have a clue about power dynamics (what Lucio would call “The King’s Servant). I ended up in the “good guy” category, a good guy who wanted to be bad and wanted to treat women poorly to see if he got results, but whose moral values never allowed him to do anything that would hurt or could hurt another person, even if it meant remaining alone (which, far from making me feel good or proud at the moment, it only increased my self-hate). I wanted to remain good, but being good got me nowhere. Adding to that, due to my upbringing, I developed an anxious attachment style (something I also hated for a long time because, objectively speaking, it’s certainly easier for an avoidant man to have more power in a relationship thanks to his natural tendency to fear emotional closeness and natural behavior to protect his independence; quick note: I think that behavior is far from perfect but from what I’ve seen at least they get more results with girls). I have been always considered too clingy and dependent.
Many girls who felt initial attraction to me after a while wanted me to stay in their lives, but never as their partner, only as a good friend. When I turned 20, I found my first partner. This girl was incredibly attracted to me at first, but as soon as I started prioritizing her and seeking closeness, when I set aside my power to be “truly myself,” she began to lose attraction and started to disrespect me. At some point along that path, I came across TPM, and I must say it was a pleasant surprise after years of stagnation.
Human beings are very complex, and because of this, it’s unlikely that a single teacher will “save” you from your social and/or romantic situation. But for me, the person who has influenced my life for the better the most is Lucio. Since I started this journey, I’ve been gathering bits of knowledge from each person that has contributed to who I am, but there have been two things that have totally changed my social life, and for me, both are equally important. The first would take a long time to explain and is more about inner work and pure reflection, but in terms of knowledge, if I had to erase those eight years and start over, I’d like it to be with the knowledge Lucio provides. Seduction University was the last course I bought a long time ago, and Power University will probably be the last course I’ll buy (for several years). I bought Seduction University quite some time ago (about two or three years) and am still learning; I’m just over 73% through the course. This amount of time might surprise many, but those who seek lasting changes in themselves and who are truly committed to deeply learning and integrating everything there until it becomes second nature, know it will likely take several months and probably years.
Having knowledge is not a magic cure; knowing something doesn't make you good at it. Changing deep aspects of one's identity is not as easy as many people seem to forget; it's slow, very slow, and also requires conscious and constant effort. The path of personal growth is not easy, but personally I don't expect it to be. It may take me several years of practice to consolidate all that knowledge, but I know with absolute certainty that it will be a great investment for my future. Going back to the main point, in my opinion, Seduction University and very likely Power University will give you much more value than what you'd get from a more well-known person's course, and at an incredibly affordable price. I know this, because I've been consuming content from many authors for 8 years (every day, each day of the past 8 years without fail). Honestly, I'm fortunate that it is priced so affordably. To be completely honest with you I don't earn much money, and, in my country, there is not much economic prosperity, there is significant inequality, and for me, paying for a course in dollars is comparatively much more expensive than for people who earn in dollars or other stronger currencies. And still, I believe it's totally worth investing in these courses.
One important thing I've learned over the years is that there are things your mind will not be ready to understand, and the good thing about that is as long as you commit to your learning, you will keep growing and progressing, and at some point when you revisit the material, you might understand those things you didn't “grasp” initially, or you might achieve more advanced things that your novice self couldn't properly do the first time you went through the material. You'll pay a price for one of these courses the day you decide to buy it (if you decide to do so), but the truth is that by the time you truly learn everything, so much time will have passed that, if you look at it from a very distant perspective (all the required time for you to really learn), you'll find that the benefits you will get will be arguably greater than those that Lucio and his team will have gotten. Another thing to keep in mind is that either Seduction University or Power University, if used well, will likely help you achieve more economic prosperity; on the other hand, Lucio makes sure to improve the course content, which guarantees even more growth over time. For me this justifies the annual payment to access the material again, which brings me to the next point: Lucio gives you a full year to access the learning material, and if you want to keep having access, he significantly reduces the price (probably in gratitude to those who trusted him and decided to buy the course). Also, keep in mind what I said about how it's very likely that the second or third time you take the course, you'll probably learn new things you were not prepared for before. Finally, it's a price that, in my opinion, supports all his work. He has spent a lot of time and effort reading books, articles, reviewing courses, making videos, writing in his blog, and much more, all for free. Even if you decided not to buy any of his courses, believe me, just by reading his articles, watching his videos, and reading the book reviews he recommends for specific issues, you'd already be avoiding wasting time on reading useless or unnecessarily complex things. For my part, I'm glad he was able to provide me with a way out of the stagnation I had; I really like that he also considers people who are looking for a stable relationship and not just those seeking to have more sexual partners (which is also very valid and respectable); I like that he teaches the "general rules and mindsets," allowing for personality flexibility since that way I don't feel compelled to be (or rather pretend to be) a very energetic and super sociable person to achieve good results with girls; I like that he is a person who does not seek or promote the use of the knowledge he has to harm people but focuses on teaching how to generate relationships that promote a win-win dynamic. Since I started to consume his content, my life has changed quite a bit. I definitely feel more respected, and all my relationships have improved on all levels, romantically, although I have not yet found a person with whom there has been enough compatibility to want to have that person as a stable partner, and I still have much to improve, I definitely feel that I have become more attractive to people. In my last job, considering there weren't many staff members (about 30-35 workers including supervisors and the manager), I ended up being (romantically/sexually) liked by 14 people (8 women, 6 men), and in that job, I dated my second partner. I still make many mistakes, and there are deeper issues that require professional help, but the truth is that my life has undoubtedly improved a lot. I am a person who really takes the time to learn and truly integrate into myself what I have learned, and it has taken me years to consolidate the knowledge in Seduction University. As I said before, I haven't finished it, and it will probably take me many more months (maybe years) to consolidate the information there and what I still have not read yet in the course (not to mention the hyperlinks he provides to dig really deep in some topics). I want to improve even more in my life, and that’s why I decided to buy Power University. From lesson one, I already started finding very valuable knowledge; I haven't gone far into the course, and it would be dishonest to give my opinion, but I feel that, like Seduction University, Power University will also be very worthwhile. The book "Ultimate Power" also has hidden gems (at the moment, I am reflecting a lot on what it explains about cultivating an antifragile ego). I decided not to buy more courses or books because it will probably take me more than a year to consume all the content and much longer to make it my second nature. Although I like to diversify my knowledge and will continue learning about synergistic topics about personal growth, I would like to prioritize finishing both courses (at least "the reading part" the "superficial effort part"), besides dedicating the rest of my efforts to deep-reflective inner work, developing a physique that I feel happy with, and creating my own business that will allow me to help more people and animals in the future.
I hope the knowledge you find in any of TPM’s resources changes your life as much as it changed mine. Of course, it’s important to learn from different people and not become obsessed with a single philosophy. There are things you won’t find in Lucio’s material that could be very useful in your life and your specific problems/challenges, and you shouldn’t overlook them. Additionally, learning from different people with different perspectives will help you be more flexible and have a better chance of achieving the things you want in life. Find someone who shares their knowledge with you and who makes you reflect, and when you notice that that person starts repeating ideas, it's time to move on and look for new people who can help you out of your stagnation. Remember, every piece is important along the way, and it's important to be grateful to every person you meet because everyone has a valuable lesson to teach you (especially when that person has a different perspective than yours).
I'll probably spend many more years learning from Lucio until I finish integrating the knowledge he offers (although as he will most likely keep adding more content and learning things on his own, I will surely visit his blog or YouTube channel from time to time like visiting an old and dear friend and teacher whom I admire and respect).
I would like to make a final mention to John from customer service. He is a charming person and attended to me very well every time I contacted customer service. It feels like talking to a good friend; the service is fast, he is respectful, he has manners, and from start to finish he was very attentive in keeping his word every time he told me he would respond within a certain time frame. You can't really get to know a person in customer service, but from all the times I talked to him, he seemed competent, warm, and generous. John deserves a raise; he’s a really great guy :)

Googled extensively and can't find this. There used to be a 'show' (it was more like one of those ten minute shorts in between shows) on Disney Channel about anthropomorphic markers. They just looked like animated markers, and there were five of them I think? They were named for their color and I remember Magenta was an instigating type. They all worked in an art museum and there was a missing painting they were investigating. It didn't have any 'popular' voice actors from any shows at that time, or if it did I didn't notice. They all had that high-pitched nails on a chalkboard sound. I don't know exactly when it was, but I know Fish Hooks was still on so early 2010s. I feel like it only ran for maybe a few months with maybe ten episodes, a new one every two weeks maybe? And no one really cared. I remember there was a line of stuffed animals or, markers I guess you would say. Does anyone remember this cursed part of history 😭😭.

I was watching videos on Youtube the other day and came across an edit someone had made years ago. I watched it and one of the clips in the video caught my attention. I will describe it to the best of my abilities.
It was taking place in Space if I remember correctly. From what I remember the clip starts out with an explosion of some sort. I can't tell if it was a space station or a ship, but there was an explosion. I then remember the scene changing to show the reactions of other characters who seem to have witnessed said explosion. One character had a stronger reaction to the explosion than the rest to the point where her soft cries led to a deep inhale and a powerful scream that almost echoed. She had straight to wavy, brown hair. It was definitely an older show. The style was somewhat similar to the anime Gunblaster and Macross.
I saw it and thought the voice actor was amazing, so I wanted to find out what the anime was. I was going to download the video, clip that scene, and post it somewhere to find out what anime it is, but the youtube channel disappeared off the face of the earth, so I have no idea if I will ever find it, but it doesn't hurt to ask here.

TLDR; friend believes I’m being financially abused and should reach out for help. I’m unsure if that’s actually the case. Not really sure how to tell.
Context - I had been living with my ex for almost two years, above the pub/restaurant he was the manager of. Due to living there, the only thing we HAD to pay was council tax. Any other bills were what we wanted (car finance, phone bill, Netflix etc). I took this opportunity to go back to college for a year, and work two days a week. Working two days a week was enough to cover my bills, and my ex said he would pay the council tax, which was reduced by 25% due to me being a student. This is a long story.
The situation - £5,000 went missing from the pub. Apparently the bag split when it was picked up and taken to the bank (a company comes to do this). While the money was being recovered, my ex had to cover £5,000 until it was all accounted for, as apparently it was in his contract. He came to me asking to borrow £3,000 as he didn’t have enough to cover it all. I reluctant lent it to him, and got it in writing that regardless of the outcome, he would give me the £3,000 back. The money was never recovered.
At this time we were about to go abroad on holiday. The £2,000 he had to give to the pub was meant to pay for the rest of the holiday (deposit paid). He convinced me that they would get the money back and if I paid for the holiday, he would then cover what he owed for the holiday. Stupidly I agreed and paid the £2,000. AFTER I had paid and came back from holiday, he then explained to me he had absolutely no money now until payday (few weeks away). He couldn’t even buy food for his child when she stayed with us, which is something I then also covered. This was August time.
In November, we were due to take his daughter to Disney, he told me a week before we were going that we were driving. Up until this point, I was told we were flying and flights were booked. I told him we cannot drive to Disney as he has over £1,000 worth of working needing doing to his car, low break fluid, an engine malfunction, worn tyres and it was just too dangerous to even drive his child there. His daughter knew about Disney and it had already been rearranged several times. So I told him I can lend him money to take her and hire a car to drive. He agreed. During the same conversation I told him to get his banking up so we can work out where all his money is going, considering he earned over £2000 a month, had barely any outgoings, yet was always poor. He was very reluctant but finally did. Turns out he was spending a lot of money on only fans. Obviously I was devastated and didn’t lend him money for Disney.
Two days later, I received a letter stating council tax hadn’t been paid for the entire year. I then found out he has a CCJ (county court judgement) and due to this, the council sent bailiffs after me as my name was also on the council tax, and they didn’t see any point in going after him as he already had debt. This was another £1,500 (to cover the council tax and bailiff company fees).
Please don’t ask why I didn’t leave at this point, I’m kicking myself for not doing so.
In January, he had another disciplinary (first being the missing money) and lost his job. I won’t even attempt to explain what happened, I still have no idea. Regardless, we had less four weeks for him to find a new job and find us somewhere to live. He did apply for jobs, and started one about 5 weeks later. As for somewhere to live however, I ended up having to do it while working and studying for my exam, while he spent most of the time gaming until 4am, leaving me to sort out everything. It was all very last minute but I managed to find us a house, big enough for us, his child and for him to have a man cave/office. Due to the CCJ, he wasn’t accepted unless his parents were guarantors.
I told him I want no bills in my name (apart from the rent), so if he misses payments, then i want it to be his issue. Come to getting WiFi - he couldn’t because of the CCJ. He came up to me, with the WiFi person on the phone, telling me to give my consent to have it in my name. I asked him if we could have a chat about it first. He told me that the guy is on the phone ready, right now, to get it all set up, and that if I didn’t do this, then I wouldn’t have internet to study for my exam. Due to me being autistic, I heard that, panicked and agreed. Stupid, I know.
He decided to start doing Amazon flex (deliveries for Amazon), and he told me that what he made off that, he would give to me (I haven’t seen a penny). He called me one day saying he can’t get onto his monzo app to send himself money, so I had to send him money for petrol for him to do deliveries. For the first time, I said no. He told me that if I didn’t, then he couldn’t work and get paid to give me money. I still said no and told him to ask his mum. He then didn’t work.
He admitted to me in message that he was reluctant to pay me back in case I ended the relationship. I then decided to end the relationship anyway and am having to live with him until the lease is up in August. We came to an agreement that instead of me paying my half of the rent/bills, he would cover it and I would take that amount off of what he owes me.
Rent is meant to come out of his account each month, but I’ve been receiving emails and texts stating the rent hasn’t been paid. He keeps telling me it’s an issue due to the reference number and that it’s sorted. I had another email yesterday saying we’re 14 days over due on rent. I called the estate agents and they said it still hasn’t been paid. Ex is telling me it has been paid, I’ve asked him to show me on his banking app that the transaction has gone out. He is flat out refusing saying what he does with his money is not my business. I’ve tried explaining that he owes me a few thousand pound and that the rent payment is my business.
I’ve had a friend tell me that this is financial abuse and that I need to seek help before things escalate. The only time things got physical was when I had his phone trying to budget and came across the only fans payment. He tried to grab his phone off me, but I moved as I tried to see how far back the payments go, and I ended up being pushed to the floor (he’s 6foot 6inches and I’m 5foot 4inches for context). He’s very good at gaslighting and manipulating me. Am I being dumb or is this financial abuse?
Sorry for this being all over the place.

For reference, this means that the alternate universe and fulfill two other requirements:
The alternate universe must have SMG4!Mario, at the bare minimum, be an important contributor to the plot, or at absolute maximum, he’s the protagonist in a solo adventure.
The second is that it has to be on the serious side of the scale of tone. This does not mean it has to be edgy, but rather that the alternate universes’ main premise must be somewhat close to a teen or mature rating.
Also, an alternate universe means an entirely separate dimension, so if your idea falls under a category of what-if or alternate timeline, you will need to expand the scope.
I will present two ideas I have, but be warned, these are probably some of the darkest at least in concept I’ve come up with.
The first is the alternate universe I call You Made Your Last Mistake. In this alternate universe, shortly after the events of the Last Man On Earth incident, as well as other incredibly horrid memories really taking their toll on him, because unlike in canon, there is no reset button here to undo the mental damage one would realistically suffer from all of that, Mario willingly calls up… Lawyer Kong. The events of SMG4 Gets Sued play out as normal, except during the scene where Lawyer Kong demands Mario back, Mario reveals a Super DMCA, and signs it himself. Cut to a year later, and the world has become an apocalyptic wasteland, with Nintendo- er, Mario, ruling with an iron fist, with merely some random Fire Emblem characters rebelling against him as our main protag. And no, there is no happy ending at the end: Mario eliminates the rebellion, and enforces his rule further. Unlike in most fanfics, everyone acts how they would in canon, even Mario to some extent, and rather than a revenge fic, it shows how cruel and out-of-character Mario would have to be to do this, and does not paint him sympathetically at ALL. It’s even implied the cast, sans Mario, never went back on their character development or growth.
The second alternate universe idea, named I Just Wanted To Save Them, however, is the opposite idea, as it is set during the Puzzle Vision Movie. Instead of immediately watching TV via Mister Puzzles’s head, Mario pulls, seemingly out of nowhere, a gadget called the Kame Hame Sniper, and blasts the TV head to pieces with Goku’s signature technique, killing Puzzles early and unceremoniously. However, this brings an unfortunate consequence: the cast are still in the TV Dimension with all the channels, and while they are unbrainwashed, the dimension is crumbling, and they don’t make it out. It’s opposite because while You Made Your Last Mistake also involves the main cast sans certain characters dying, You Made Your Last Mistake has it be Mario doing it willingly, with a few chapters afterwards, while I Just Wanted To Save Them involves it being something Mario taking things seriously for once, but not thinking things through, and paying the same price, and is a one-shot.

So I’m kinda confused after reading old posts on various subreddits, I make mostly long form content movie and show reviews or that’s what I want to upload as a main thing.
BUT I have also posted a few YT shorts AND shorter clips (as a normal upload 40-60 seconds) from my long form content.
Should I keep doing this or should I focus only more on the shorts or only more on posting the clips like for example what ‘Bombastic Clips’ channel does? OR just do both? Even though they’re the same clips but posted as a different format (short + a normal upload clip)
Will this help with my long form content or and gain a few extra subs or will it be mostly detrimental somehow for the algorithm?
Thanks in advance for all the help ☺️
