A Web Hack Unlisted

I can hear the frenzy of clicks from your keyboard as you type away. Now you are in a position to post up a video or image onto a selected part of your Patreon account. The catch is that you are stomped with the prompts requiring you to add a URL.

Your heartbeat races. The feeling in your chest is like a balloon filled with water getting ready to pop. In your mind you want to fulfill the prompt, but your cued asset is holding a place proper in the folder you prior assigned it to, and there is no URL in sight.

Okay, you can upload a video into your Vimeo account, if you have one. At the same time, the mp4 the you plan to use is only a 14 sec loop. Is going to Vimeo even worth it?

You also know that on your Patreon account, when you are filling out your GOALs or the ABOUT description, the prompt requiring a URL appears again. Yes, it does get annoying to be asked for a image URL on the constant when you only want to follow down the simple and narrow path.

Well the answer you look for to meet and rid of these annoying prompts can all be solved by opening a FREE account that generates URLs on the spot. That’s right, the best way to generate a on the spot URL is by going to a site known as:

IMGUR

When you are there, create your profile, and star up the platform that saves it into your fave folder for later. Once your profile is created, go to the New Post action button to upload the image or video you are working with. In seconds, IMGUR will generate a on the spot URL for all to utilize anywhere at anytime.

The steps are simple as 1-2-3, and then you can copy and paste that generated URL back into your Patreon fillers or where ever else you need it to be in. Indeed, it did take me a hot minute to find this platform, but when I ask for your trust, this site does go the extra mile for you by saving your generated image/post/URLs into your IMGUR profile folder.

So where do we go from here? For starters, if you are a Patreon account owner, having a profile on IMGUR is a must have to absolutely compliment your needs on that on the spot moment Let me conclude with a highly motivated invite to get your IMGUR profile started today. It is highly recommended on all levels for your creative content work flows, and once there, the experience of learning how to master these URLs will be very satisfactory. Get started now.

The Secret Is Out

So the old riddle is that a photo can tell a story with one thousand words. It begs the question of how many words can be counted when a person is investing into an informative video. I am willing to say that the number will vary into hundred of thousands. In this case, the riddle is now too problematic to even care.

Yet, there is still those that stay invested into the sound quality of a video like if the person were the flag whipping in a frenzy with all the high winds in a indoor stadium. Here we let the roars take you to a place where only the goose bumps on the back of your neck can recognize. On the other hand, what if those same sounds the peeps seek out were only the tip tip tapping of a hidden whisper inside a raindrop. I can only imagine the reward of emotions a person can feel in such a silent roller coaster ride.

Yes, the practice of ASMR is here. One video channel after another, and if on the right frequency, sounds from the channel will dance in your ear like a feather on the rays of sunlight. In a person’s mind that is listening to the soft popping whispers, he or she will allow these gentle sounds into the mind only to generate sensations flowing throughout all the nerve endings of that person’s body. In his or mind, it is true in all ways possible, ASMR is alive.
Of course, the long nerdy kind of terminology for such practices can be refereed to as Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response or for a more convenient comfort term for the ear, it can also be known as ASMR for short. In this practice, ASMR brings pleasurable sensations to sensitive areas such as your head, scalp, or back in response to visual, auditory, or tactile stimuli. Like orgasms for the brain, these sounds can bring feel good head tingles just for listening or looking to the ASMR content on hand.

What I also want to inform you on is that ASMR has grown into a beast for content creators. One channel is pranks. One channel is how-tos or gaming, and then there is ASMR. There is no real way to escape it. For that matter, if you collected enough data about ASMR, the practice has been around used by the ancients for therapy and medical reasons. In conclusion, ASMR can be practiced by anyone and has been for a very long time.

Yes, thousands of subscriber on Reddit relate to ASMR. On YouTube, creators take requests onto which brushing your hair sound you want generated on the video. Even in the mainstream media, plenty articles from popular news channels lead a story ASMR. The world as we know it is now full of whispers that tickle your nose hairs.

Take a champagne bottle. Pop the cork. Take a glass of water and drop a marble in it. Listen to person as she licks her lips up and down. It is all a ASMR experience that we all have been waiting for.
If you still can’t relate, think about the feeling you get when using a que-tip or when you are getting a massage. I am sure there are other triggers out there to get your hands on, but for purposes of this article, these examples will suffice, just think about it.

As far as a content creator, take this article to heart and do your research. You might be into cosplay, or bikini modeling, or even into some sort of wood working. With the right touch, as a content creator, you can add so much more to your videos when you start using ASMR as a tool for your audience.

Besides, ASMR is already it’s own subculture, and just about everyone has already brushed upon it in some way or another. Why not capitalize on it. Adding ASMR into your tool bag can be a go-to device to for your video work flows. In this practice, maybe making ASMR a one time event per week can be a treat for your viewers. Think about it this way, more flavor in your content will invite a whole new audience. More views, and your channel is the better for it.
Also, please do remember that the secret is out. ASMR is here or everyone and you leave it behind, you won’t hear it coming when it hits you.

The Trouble Twice

In Greek mythology it is the story of Castor and Pollux that I want to introduce you to. Yes, they were brothers, and they were twins birthed by the same mother named Leda. We begin in the land of Sparta, and Zeus shift changes into a swan.

Royalty in the land of Sparta, both King Tyndareus, and Queen Leda ruled a fighting culture. Sneaking in from the Mediterranean Seas, Zeus as a swan, seduces Leda and makes her a lover. When the twins are born, only one brother is immortal.

Castro and Pollux both lived adventurous lives. They traveled together on all levels, renowned as horseman, and also referred to often for their curiosity. The brothers also took part in the Aragonitic Expedition, helping Jason retrieve the Golden Fleece.

Where the turn of tragedy comes into a reality is when a family feud is sparked for the love of Phoebe and Hilaeria, the nieces of Leucippus. These nieces were already invested in a relationship with the Dioscuri brothers, cousins of Castor and Pollux.

One day, Castor and Pollux abducted the Leucippides girls and brought them back to Sparta. This insult to the Dioscuri brothers left them with only revenge on their minds, and a plot to restore their family name was brewing.

It did not bother them knowing that Pollux was a demigod, and the only true son of Zeus. Here the Dioscuri brothers knew that it was Castor born as the mortal son of King Tyndareus, and it was Castor that the Dioscuri brothers decided to wound.

As the evening hours fell across the lands, the Dioscuri brothers attacked in an attempt to steal back the Leucippides girls. In this battle, many rocks were thrown. Shields and swords bashed, and in the middle of the chaos a spear was thrown, impaling Castor instantly. The battle was a short one taking both lives of the Dioscuri brothers, and leaving Pollux in a state of confusion not knowing how to revive his lifetime brother Castor.

In this heart ache, no more tears were shed when Zeus granted the wish that Pollux requested. One look into the evening stars, it was here that Pollux wanted to sacrifice half his immortality and give it to his brother Castor.

Zeus snapped his fingers and made the request a reality on one condition. In order for both brothers, Castor and Pollux to stay together forever, they were to be transformed into the constellation skies and reside there for all to see. Thus, the Gemini was born.

Here in the zodiac image provided is my tribute to this story. Say hello to Moxy and Mia. Let us all be blessed.

I dance, and I smile. Today, I want to introduce to you, a one of a kind heartbreaker, and her name is Addie Lemonade.

For starters, take one good look at our cover design. It took many a situations and brainstorms to finalize our efforts in getting the right image to represent our May publication. We also added compliment design images of  Addie Lemonade on the next few pages for you to get acquainted with.
Is it the flavor she brings to our pages, or your curiosity of her that will prevail as the main attraction? What I do know is that we will enlighten your mind with a 10 question interview that we lined up custom to Addie Lemonade and her origins.

We begin in the lobby of our Tier One Studios, where the seat furnishings are a burgundy colored leather, and everything around us reflects off the glass walls. Yes, everyone here is wondering who is the new acquisition to the Kindred Universe.

me: (1)
*looking at Addie sitting across from me and I’m tapping my pen to the clipboard in hand
“Tell me, Addie. Where do you come from?”

Addie:
“I am from the Tamps area. I really love being around water.”

me: (2)
“Tell me about your parents, Addie. What were they like?”

Addie:
“I don’t know my mother. She passed when I was like 2 years old. My pops passed when I was 8. For the most part, I did not appreciate staying at shelters not knowing where my next happiness would come from.
As for my Dad. He did operate a landscape services type of business for our income, but his dream was to be a boxer.”

me: (3)
“Do you have a dream, Addie?”

Addie:
Right now, I am 21, and I am living the life. If I had a dream, it would be to travel the world and experience what it means to be part of the Kindred Universe on all levels.

From here, we teleported into a country scene for a instant photoshoot. I told Addie to give me her best seducing pose standing with a swing. She smiled, and removed her sandals. Everything around was that kind of green that would take your breath away.

me: (4)
“Tell me what you know about the Kindred Universe, Addie”

Addie:
“The Kindred Universe? Wow! Here, I know it doesn’t matter of you  are a pirate, a knight, a cowgirl, or a zombie hunter. All of us here are all existing in this universe for the sole purpose to bring stories and drams to the Tier One pages.
As far as, the Blood Guilt Games, I know some of us will unite, and some of us will be at odds with one another. Here, we all have are own backgrounds and powers. At the end, it is about entertaining our viewers.”

me: (5)
“Do you have powers?”

Addie:
“Well, from my Dad’s side, I am a independent soul. I do remember my dad letting me train with him when he was in his boxing mode in the basement. I also remember my dad building me a lemonade stand that I had for 1 year.
If I have nay powers, it will be to capture my opponent and adopting my opponents attribute as my own. Plus, if you drink the lemonade I make, don’t let down your guard. It comes with a knock-out punch.”

me: (6)
“What is your favorite color?

Addie:
She grabs on her pony-tails, “I have this thing for strawberry red.”

me: (7)
“Good, I have another JumpScape for you. I hope you like lonely roads..”
Instantly, our surroundings changed, and we landed into a red desert scene.
“Addie, from this point forward, I want to introduce to you to your mode of transportation throughout your Kindred Universe adventures. Do you like motorcycles?”

Addie:
Dumbfounded and with a smile on her face.
“Are you sure that you want me to have this. I can be even more dangerous with a hell on wheels on my side.”

It did not take long for Addie to claim ownership of the bike. With one graceful move, she slid her fingers across the body, and then she mounted the bike like there was no tomorrow. Addie turned her attention to me, “I suppose you want me to pose with this beast?”
I told Addie to give her best flirty pose with the bike. Addie dismounted and took a step towards the rear of the bike.

me: (8)
“What will be your first mission in the Kindred Universe?”

Addie:
“I plan to establish myself a good position to get ranked in the Blood Guilt Games. I know I have plenty to offer for all to enjoy.”

me: (9)
“Do you plan to make TikTok a priority?”

Addie:
“Of course, there is still of sorts learn, to grow from, and to capitalize on. I know I will come across situations and characters who will try to out perform me, and if it means that I can use TikTok to stay ahead of everyone else. Trust, it will be done.”

We made our last JumpScape into the bunker room. I noticed that the photoshoot set up was already in place. I asked Addie to walk around the room as if no one else was around.
I made it a point to find that perfect image to design Addie on our cover page. One way she was walking forward, and with the timing of the flash, Addie gestured a glance over her shoulder. That moment, I knew it, Addie Lemonade told a story only a masterpiece will compliment.


me: (10)
“what is your advice for future signees of the Kindred Universe?”

Addie:
“I say to always bring in your strengths. I say to always be ready to adapt. I say to always make sure that the higher up know who you are, where you are, and what your desires are? You know, without communication, I wouldn’t want to be that forgotten character that sat on the side waiting for that brass ring. I say go grab the bull by the horns, and grab the ring the way you want it, and when you want it. You only live once, you know.”

I shook my head in acknowledgement listening to the words Addie was dropping. I also shook her hand letting her know that we all will welcome her into our Kindred Universe. I did see Addie’s humbled side as took my hand in gratitude. In the moments that followed the bunker room was empty as I watched Addie make her exit. The door closed behind her.

That being said, I do know that Addie will play in many roles when it comes to the pages of our Tier One publication. I do hope by giving you some insight about Addie, that you too can welcome her into your social readings in the coming future.
