even after giving characterhub a try i may still stick with toyhouse bc its what im used to and i rly only need it for storage, also lowkey the layout reminds me of amino and its giving me war flashbacks

i will say its not like my website is full-blown NSFW or fetish stuff and im not gonna get mad if youre like 15-16 and interact but it cant be overstated that my page is NOT for kids. im a horror artist and most of my art is horror related. and yes some of it IS sexual! im like the slasher film of neocities, not gonna traumatize a teen, but im really not wanting younger kids to come here, protect yourself youngins

my art pages are taking a while to load now... not sure whats causing it but im probably gonna start hosting my images on a separate site instead of having all the files uploaded here directly to free up some bandwidth. i use imgur for Roadkill but i might switch over to a different one
instagram bots will refuse to take down a comment calling someone ugly and telling them to kts but if you literally say "i love this" they'll hide it or take it down and lock ur account. funny how theyre training AI with our posts when they cant even get their own to correctly moderate the platform

this exact issue was the initial reason i stopped posting to instagram. i only went back for artists i follow that dont have newgrounds or furaffinity. isn't it fucking disturbing that social media is the main way most people keep up with their friends and the world and yet the companies that own them have done nothing to improve their moderation?? they'd rather put their efforts into making the platform itself worse

like i get it, people will always be mean on the internet, the only thing you can do about it is to ignore it. but when there are systems put in place to punish the people who DO act mean, but those systems dont work, you have to admit its fucking frustrating! we shouldnt have to tolerate bullying and bigotry running rampant bc IG's bots are fucking broken

the lore of the comic series im working on (Hell's Belles) is getting so expansive and ive decided that instead of having any specific protagonist each issue is gonna focus on a different character, but following the overarching plot i have laid out. pretty much an ensemble cast and unraveling each character's individual stories through each issue

its still very very VERY much a work in progress and VERY early in development so god knows how long its gonna be til im done with it but hey, good things come to those who wait yeah?
i wanna make it to where the widget will display a different image on every website because the plan is that members will pick a dog breed and a cute png of that dog will be on the widget. but i dont know. how to do that

i like rainbow dash being portrayed as a scene girl and all, but listen, that is the most frat-boy ass mare in equestria to me. she reeks of BO. she steals energy drinks from the gas station. she's worn the same dirty wifebeater for 4 months straight without washing it.
so the site is really clean and modern, very very much focused on the social aspects a lot more than other OC storage sites. its honestly more like an art-based social media with character storage as just one aspect of that. if youre looking to roleplay or socialize, this isnt a big deal, but if you only want character storage, the website can be pretty overwhelming to use with the amount of events and general stuff-
-plastered all over your screen. i uploaded a few characters from Roadkill for starters, and the profiles are heavily customizable with lots of detail, most of which is optional. it uses BBCode for larger textboxes but i dont believe you can use full-on HTML like on Toyhouse, so the amount of customization is definitely welcome. there ARE some features that are paywalled, but most of them are things the average user-
-doesnt need, as in the website isnt unusable if you dont pay. you do get pop-ups advertising the premium subscription which is a little annoying but hey, im pretty sure theyre a smaller team, so let them make that bag. you have limited space for uploading images directly to profiles but it seems to be a pretty decent amount and you can get more with premium. so you'll want only the most important stuff,-
-like ref sheets, important context, etc and you also cant add multiple characters to one image like on toyhouse. they make up for this though with the social feed, where you can upload as many images as you want in posts without them taking up your storage space, and you can tag multiple characters on your posts, which will then show up on their profile. i think this is a pretty good way to get around the limited-
-storage while also giving more of an incentive to post and interact with the community. since these posts, again, use BBCode, you can also tag your characters in text-only posts, great for RP prompts and short stories, which are all good for getting people invested in your OCs. there's even a separate section of the site where people can directly send you fanart and fanfiction of your OCs and an on-site marketplace.
from my browsing i believe there are also groups and chatrooms, a live roleplay chat, and the home page of the website acts as your main feed. its a little confusing and overwhelming at first, but not a bad site if you're looking for something more social.
