I don't draw much these days and when I do I haven't been able to produce anything I like so I guess I'll mostly be doing pictures. Haven't decided what to post, if ever. If I ever get to go out a bit I might take some scenic shots and just be another plain and boring Instagram account out there.

Yeah I haven't heard of it before either. Maybe it isn't very well known yet.

I am not big on posting in general tbh.
which is why i have mine set to private...and i don't really accept anyone to follow me
not ready for my art to me critiqued.

I'm not big on platforms similar to fb tbh.
only platform i am looking forward to is in beta and it would be great for artists.

I'm not much of a poster on social medias either, I rarely post anything at all for that matter Forums are the only exception since I just chat and it's not about posting personal works and stuff. I don't think I'll be posting any of my artwork any time soon since I have very little confidence in them.

Yeaah, I only got Facebook because everyone I know is using them and they wanted to stay connected and stuff...I haven't logged on there in like a year. I used to play games on there but they're all money sinks so it put me off.

What platform is that for the art? I personally gravitate towards avatar sites or ones where you have a person to dress up, though I'm only sticking to Mene at the moment.

Well...my life doesn't really...move.
like i don't take pictures, don't travel or anything, so i feel me having social media is pretty pointless.
I'm just not a talker. like i don't know how to talk unless it comes to art, or k-pop.

I have twitter, fb and instagram.
I never really use FB as my family is on it and just have no interest in really being on there.

It's called pillowfort. it's basically in a way like tumblr. but 10x way better.
you choose who can see and share your posts. and you can make it so only mutuals can see it.

I guess it's the same for me, I rarely go out and even if I do it's not far, like going to the grocery store or something. Not particularly interesting. It's super rare that I go anywhere with actual good scenery to take pictures of, hence why I'm probably not going to be posting much. Maybe I could post food...

I don't have twitter, I'm not sure how to use that either and nothing goes on in my life worth posting about anyway.

Oh! I think I've heard of that, on tumblr maybe because everyone's talking about alternative sites to be on the past couple of days since tumblr's apparently a sinking ship with the upcoming ban on all things slightly NSFW. I'll have to check it out, heard there's bugs and stuff but if it's like tumblr I'll probably be able to settle there.

Yeah. Though my sister and I are planning to try to afford going to a concert in 2019
due to it might be close to their last one for a while as some of the members in our favorite group will be going into the military for like 2 years.

Twitter is pretty easy to use. you can pretty much post whatever you want.
i just follow mainly artists who upload art.

Yeah, tumblr is usually a dummy and does stupid things when they need to take care of things.
but they avoid taking care of the real issues by making it hard for NSFW artists to get income from tumblr at all.
and it starts flagging non NSFW stuff.

Pillowfort isn't open to the public. It's still in the early beta stage.

Oh, that sounds nice! I've never been to an actual concert before, barring musicals. Have you been to concerts before? What's it like?

I remember reading about twitter having a post letters limit? Like 250 letters a post or something?

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous with some of the things they're flagging. Their algorithm's definitely extremely flawed and I doubt it's going to truly work anyway. Like furry porn, for example, given that they're usually vibrantly colored and doesn't fall into the whole 'flesh tones' thing that tumblr's trying to ban.

Oh. Do you need an invitation to be able to join or will we have to wait until it's released to the public to join?

I've only been to one concert and i could barely see and it smelt like weed.
so not really that fun of an experience.
But this concert i know will be different. since the fans in the band i like are extremely nice.

Yeah but it's not that easy to really max it out. Plus if you have a lot to say you can just make a thread which you just make a post that are connected to other posts. so it's not really a bad thing lol.

yeah and i sadly just started my blog there. so not going to continue it.
plus their muting accounts as well and you basically have to jump through hoops to get it unmuted.

You have to pay to join as it's in a donation process through their kickstarter.

That doesn't sound pleasant at all. I hope the 2019 one you're going to will be much better!
...What does weed smell like? I've googled it and the answers are all different from each other.

Ooh. So there's like a button or something that you can make a thread from?

Ugh I'd read about that. It's so ridiculous that they're doing that to people for little to no reason. Too bad Pillowfort is currently pay to join or I'd jump ship with how much of a train wreck the site's become.

Also...we did not stop to eat. and i was starving. so after i ate candy
but i was happy to see how happy my sister was.
Basically it smells like someone who has seriously bad BEO.
So, i thought the entire time..it was me. but it wasn't

Yeah. I have never made a thread so i am not 100% how it works.

Yeah. but i'm sure it'll be open to the public hopefully in 2019 if possible.
If not i'll just work on building up my portfolio.

If I'd eaten candy I'd probably gotten even more hungry.

RE: Weed smell - Oh lol okay

I hope so! I'll have to keep an eye on Pillowfort in the future and see when it becomes available to all to join.

Ack we have to leave the classroom to clean it out, be back later.

Yeah i pretty much went to bed hungry
It just overall smells really bad like someone hasn't showered.
i can't stand weed. people in my GED class did it and it smelt so bad.
I have it bookamrked so when it opens publically i can join!

I hope people will make customizable themes like tumblr has.

Well weed here is still illegal so not as many people use it here. I've read online that it smells like anywhere from herbs to cat piss and I was so confused.

Woot! I sure hope it'll have customizable themes, it's one of the things I like a lot on tumblr. I like customizing my profile a lot, even if I barely know anything about coding at all. ;;

Hey Maiden! Life is okay at the moment, not very good but not bad either. You?

*waves back* Life is good. I'm a newly wed so I am viewing life with overly happy and kind consideration, or so my coworkers tell me. It is supposed to rain, sleet, ice, and snow this Saturday so I am kinda excited about that. Wouldn't mind sleeping in due to prior engagements being canceled. But at the same time I would feel bad not going to see my various family and friends who would be missed if it did have dangerous winter conditions. So I guess, life is good, and will go with however things turn out :D

Topic: Instagram... hmmm.... don't have it. But I do have a Deviant Art account. But I haven't uploaded anything since I was in college. So... I guess I am not a very active socialite lol.

*Finds a couch, settles in, and sips hot apple cider that appears as soon as it was typed in the thread*

Ooh congrats on getting married! The weather's a lot more warmer here (case in point, we still have air conditioning on indoors) so there's no chance of ever getting snow or sleet. Air's pretty polluted these days though so that's not so good. Otherwise the current temperatures are pretty good for going out on outings.

I have a deviantArt account too, though I haven't used it in years. Just sort of dropped off from using it after a while. I tend to prefer lurking on most sites, Menewsha being the exception obviously.

*magicks some hot chocolate out of thin air and drinks it with Maiden*

@Antagonist
It's legal here but i don't really know much about it

Hopefully. but i shall keep an eye on it and see if their twitter end up uploading pictures.
watching the video on their kickstarter was super informative.

All I know is that it's supposedly a recreational drug that helps with pain, or something.

Cool, from what I read on their kickstarter (since the video won't load for me for some reason) it seems like it'll be great once it's launched. Hopefully soon

yeah.

Yeah i hope so. hopefully it'll be launched publically in 2019.

Well it'll only be another month before it's 2019 so it should be soon.

I don't think it'll be that soon.
Maybe spring or summer of 2019.

Thank you ^_^

Wow, it definitely is a lot warmer there. I almost died from chilliness just walking from house to car. We have our heater on, though we are in disagreement on what temperature to have it at. Evidently I can't regulate my body temperature well. If the ground outside is cold, so am I, so I want the heat higher. If the ground outside is warm, so am I, so I want the AC cooler. This doesn't sit well with most who like it at a steady 68-72 Degrees F.

Lurking is fun. Especially if there are good deep discussions to read. Got into a thread on some random site once about how to cross Star Wars and Rick & Morty... was fascinating... then they introduced other ones to cross with it and it was fantastic.

*Continues to sip, grinning at the hot chocolate mustache forming on Antagonist's upper lip* ;)

My room is currently 29 degrees Celcius It's a lot cooler in the living room though, maybe around 25 - 26 degrees?
That sounds like a problem, how do you solve that disagreement?

I usually lurk because I have no idea how to join in the discussion Like I'm in several chatrooms on Discord at the moment and they're often filled with discussion but I can count the amount of times I've joined in on a single hand.

*twirls the hot chocolate mustache in an attempt to make it look dashing *

Then when we are both home, he chills in the livingroom more where the vents are not at. I chill in the bedroom which has a vent and I can close the doors to make it more to my liking. Weekends are fun. We tend to set it to 70 or 68 depending on what outside temps are like. So somehow it works out.

One way to join is to post a message where some sort of expression of gratitude or enjoyment is expressed for the topic. Then explain you have a question and ask. That opens up dialogue and hopefully makes the entrance less awkward. I found it works somewhat at work, but this tactic wasn't meant for in person conversations lol.

LOL, oh the mustache twirled!! *Changes drinks with a wave of her hand to a frothy chocolate concoction and eagerly starts sipping. Each time a little froth builds on the last to make an extra extended mustache worthy of Snidely Whiplash.*

@Antagonist
Yeah i am hoping so.
but even so, it gives me some time to build up an online portfolio elseplace[most likely privately on twitter/instagram]
so when it does open i will have stuff to upload.
