oh totally forgot kpop. don’t know how. it’s a big part of my life. i’m going to put all the groups in the tags, it’s a lot so…
how many fandom’s do you like?
Oh, wow so many. Let’s start with different channels:
Cartoon Network: any show from the early 2000-10s to Craig of the Creek; plus any anime that was on it like Bakugan and Beyblade
Disney: early 2000-10s sitcoms, TOH, GF, Ducktales (2017), Big Hero 6/MCU, etc.
Nickelodeon: Spongebob, some old sitcoms by D*n Schn*ider, Henry Danger is the last show
For fandoms outside of TV, I’ve seen Camp Camp, Ever After High; used to watch Mianite videos; listen to multiple broadway musicals (Hamilton, Heathers, ITH, DEH, 21 Chump Street, Kinky Boots); watched some shows for stay at home moms like Roseanne, That 70s Show, the Goldbergs, the middle, etc.
I am not avid in book fandoms except for the Artemis Fowl Series (don’t speak of the film).
For the anime that I care about: Bakugan, Beyblade, Fire Force, Magi, JJBA, PPP Mermaid, Haikyuu, HXH, Ass Class, and Azumanga. There’s a few more but I really don’t participate in the fandom for those anime, I just watch them and move on.
This is just a handful of stuff I remember. I try to join fandoms often. I’ll try to put a full list in the tags

Pokemon X&Y Concept Art
Hello!
A few weeks ago I got a commission from @pokeli to help them translate Pokemon X&Y concept art. I had so much fun translating the whole concept art. I like Pokemon too and I do think Kalos region is such a beautiful region with so many interesting characters. Hopefully, my translations could be a good medium to connect the concept art from the developer and the Pokemon fans out there, especially the international Pokemon fans.
Please check out Pokeli’s awesome video here:

“THE IMPACT OF ALEXA TO HOUSE WHOLE CONVERSION
Siri was first released to the market on the 4th of October 2011, on the iPhone as a Virtual assistant for their customers, many years later APPLE produced another product focused on Siri called APPLE Home Pod. allowing consumers to connect with artificial intelligence, provide an at-home personal assistant, but even though APPLE was the first to get Siri out to the masses other companies such as Google & Amazon have also brought their own virtual assistant devices.
I’ve personally had hands-on experience with all three artificial intelligences and all I can say is that the Amazon Echo inbuilt with Alexa is the cream of the crop in terms of virtual assistants below is a breakdown of the Amazon Echo (Amazon Alexa)
Question: “ Do I think that life would be so much easier by having Alexa?’
The answer: “Yes, definitely! ”
Alexa’s target was to be a part of the people living and especially their need in daily routine like (reminder event, create a shopping list or telling a story.. etc), which in general the idea of having Alexa in the house becomes pretty much handy to the majority of the public. But of course, there are other complications as well as conspiracies that giving Alexa a bad reputation.
Positive
Let’s talk about the positive impact first.
Alexa is a smart hub that allows other smart devices to connect, once a device is connected the user will be able to control all the functions that the device has to offer instead of just basic settings. The user will also be able to set up the devices to be automated by a scheduled or user-controlled, some functions that the user can control are:
Checking the daily news.
Control the brightness of a light
Freely changing the temperature of the house thermostat
Calling other Alexa devices
Negative
Some users have shown that there are some technical problems when using Alexa and from my perspective, as an Alexa user I also face these same issues. The voice recognition software and the PA system occasionally have problems, but these problems are usually when there is a lot of background noise. As there are also dozens of reports saying that it has been recording/messaging a stranger out of your contacts. Some members of the public believe that “Big Brother” is listening in on them as the device is always listening.
The guardian quoted that “... Alexa, like a vampire, must be invited into your home. The only truly effective power you can wield over this technology is not to use it.”
Ultimately still, the idea of welcoming Alexa OR other similar virtual assistant devices is nowadays being more open to people mainly because it owns convenience and will be a crucial need for the next generations. But the possibility of some other threat could be existed by using these devices..is still a question.
Digital Assistants (2020)
Cortana is a virtual assistant developed by Microsoft which uses the Bing search engine to perform tasks such as setting reminders and answering questions for the user.
Google Assistant
Google Assistant
Google Assistant is an artificial intelligence-powered virtual assistant developed by Google that is primarily available on mobile and smart home devices. Unlike the company's previous virtual assistant, Google Now, the Google Assistant can engage in two-way conversations.

Apple Siri
Siri is a virtual assistant that is part of Apple Inc.'s iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, macOS, and tvOS operating systems.
Amazon has been an e-commerce leader for the past decade for more reasons than one can imagine. Many opine it is the firm’s incredible ability in bridging gaps by delivering enticing products and services.
The greatest example is its virtual online shopping platform that set an example for many retail firms to follow. It continues to remain one of the favorite online shopping destinations today and has been irreplaceable.
The firm has been making waves recently for the launch of its latest cutting-edge product, Alexa. The world has been raving about this latest offering of the technology giant and the myriad benefits it can offer to the hospitality sector.
Amazon Alexa Various Benefits:
Owners of many hospitality concerns have started to realize the importance of Alexa and its potential in making the stay comfortable.
