I just got out of the shower which means I’m optimistic about projects and social media so I’m writing this draft before the mood fades and I’m immovable again
Ok so
Been a while. If you still follow this account you may or may not have noticed that the only things that have been posted since December 2018 are posts that say what day it is
A lot of this is because my posts here and on shipitouttahere got screwed up in The Great Tumblr Purge of 2018 and I was mad and didn’t wanna fix it. I still am and don’t.
But I do miss Tumblr. I’ve lurked off and on since then, just liking posts and sending them to friends instead of reblogging to keep my account more or less inactive (except for the dates posts, because it amused me to imagine getting a person looking at my page and wondering how many years in advance I have “It’s December 10th” gifs queued).
I’ve bopped around discord servers. I’ve disappeared from discord servers. I wish it were easier to find and get into discord servers that actually stay active. I’m around on Twitter but not like posting original stuff or anything. I’m on Instagram but the app crashes when I try and make posts a lot of the time so I just post stories. My cat’s instagram is updated with stories more than my own. I chat in Twitch communities a lot.
But I miss the social fandom stuff of tumblr. I started a Miraculous Only Sideblog because I didn’t have anyone to talk to about it (either due to lack of interest or spoilers because they weren’t caught up) and have been enjoying throwing stuff out into the void and getting excited with strangers about theories (please invite me to your Miraculous discords). You might’ve seen my Risk/Strike back comic floating around (warning: spoilers for s4 finale).
However I can’t message people from that account for some reason, and it occurs to me that having a seemingly inactive blog might not be a great way to make friends on the platform, especially if they’re vetting to make sure I’m not a bot (I still get regular new followers who are definitely bots that don’t know what asexual means).
So here’s some updates on me:
