MY GOD
@bootthesnoot OOpsiE you made my day again u precious human being-
I love and adore you so very much and now I'm inspired to get my ass back on artzy stuff <3<3<3<3<328738374737

replying is how you make friends! reply to anything you want and be friendly. donât make rude jokes if youâre not friends already though!
quote retweeting is a no-no. when you âretweet with a commentâ itâs not liked by content creators because it makes a new tweet out of their tweet and they donât get the likes and retweets they would get if youâd just retweeted it straight up. if you want to comment on a retweet, reply to it or post a new tweet starting with âLRTâ which stands for âlast retweetâ (itâs fine to quote retweet dumb memes and so on.)
you can make your tweets private. this means no one but your followers will be able to see what you post and no one will be able to retweet your content. you can switch back and forth between private and public at will. some people make a separate private account to tweet personal stuff and let mutuals follow it only. itâs a good way to keep things separate.
what is privatter? privatter is a third party web app that content creators can allow to be attached to their twitter. it lets them tweet content that they can make exclusive to logged in users, followers, mutuals, or a specific list of users. as long as you are logged in to twitter and fall into the intended category, youâll be able to see it.Â
you can mute people you follow. (and those you donât, ofc.) you can also mute words and phrases and entire conversations. if you mute someone you follow and they reply to you, that reply will still show up in your notifications. itâs a good way to keep the peace!
you can limit notifications to people who follow you or to mutuals. (notifications from people you follow will still show up regardless of which option youâve selected.)
miscellaneous tips and warnings: if you accidentally unfollow and refollow someone, it wonât show up in their notifications as long as itâs within a couple minutes. no more accidental stuff. everyone can see who everyone follows so watch out. people will know if you unfollow. if you want to report someone and want them gone forever, report a tweet where they used a curse word. screenshotting tweets for harassment is a no-no and can get you banned. donât be lame. donât be a dick. vaguing others is generally really bad form and so is complaining about content within a fandom youâre in. use the mute tools at your disposal and donât be a spoiler. you wonât come back from a rep like that and everyone sees everything.
thatâs it! happy tweeting!!
guys..... I'm re-entering my klance era...... and I redrew this old comic to start us off <3
more thoughts under the cut âŹď¸
I had fun redrawing this though! cool to see the improvement đ¤
People talk a lot about how reading is necessary for writing, but when you really want to improve your writing, itâs important to go beyond just simple reading. Here are some things to do when reading:
Note how they begin and end the story. There are a ton of rather contradictory pieces of advice about starting stories, so see how they do it in the stories you enjoy. Donât only look at the most popular stories, but look at your more obscure favorites.
See what strikes you. Is it fast or complicated scenes with a lot of emotions? Is it stark lines? Pithy dialogue? What do you remember the next day?
Pay attention to different styles. Itâs not just whether they use past or present tense, first or third person. Itâs whether the writing is more neutral or deeper inside characterâs heads. Do they use italics? Parentheses? Other interesting stylistic choices? Take the ones you like and try them out in your own writing. See what works and what doesnât.
Keep track of how they deal with other characters. Do we see a lot of secondary character each for very brief periods of time or are there a couple that show up a lot? How much information do we get about secondary characters? Do they have their own plots or do their plots revolve entirely around the main characters?Â
Count how many plots there are. Is there just one main plot or are there multiple subplots? Are the storylines mostly plot-based or character-based? Â
Pay attention to what you donât like. If you donât like whatâs going on in a book or even just a scene, note what it is. Does the dialogue feel awkward? Are the characters inconsistent? Does the plot feel too convenient or cobbled together? Does the wording just feel off? See if you can spot those issues in your own writing, especially when reading a completed draft or beginning a later draft.
Iâm in the middle of writing a fic and as someone who really likes detail, I thought knowing how the DPD really looks like in the game would make it easier to navigate in a story. So I started up my game and explored a little!
It is surprisingly different to how I remembered it.
BLACK: Walls (except the reception desk whoops)
GREEN: Windows/Glass
BLUE: Doors
YELLOW: Stairs
IMPORTANT NOTES:
There are 12 android stations
Security guards at the gates
There is a large frosted window looking into the meeting room
The restroom is both male and female accessibleÂ
There are a number of large [TV?] screens around the DPDÂ
-1 long screen above the receptionÂ
-1 TV screen on the right wall of the reception
-1 long screen above the android stations Â
-1 on the top wall of Fowlerâs office  Â
-1 screen the top wall of the meeting room
-1 TV screen on the bottom wall of the break room
Hand scanners by the Archive Entrance, Interrogation and Observation room.
Double door leading into the Archive Entrance Hall
Large circular DPD logo on the ground in the desk area -Purple semi-circles are data servers (computers storing large amounts of data)
SEATING:
Left Down: Det. Collins, Lt. Hank, Connor, Po. WilsonÂ
Right Down: Po. Person, Po. Brown, Det. Reed, Po. Miller
If there is anything people would like to add, you are very welcome to do so. Please keep in mind the wall layout may be a tad bit off, but I tried my best!
I didnât write down the officer names before turning the game off as I hoped Iâd remember them all (unfortunately I didnât) so if anyone knows who is sat in front of Gavin please let me know lmao.
