right!! ive been using dreamwidth sometimes but its really just strictly for writing nonsense for me (like the fucking quotev essay im writing in another tab right now HAHA) i do think dw is neat tho <3

quotev and cohost refugees

hii, i've been thinking about quotev and the very few replacement sites that have tried to pop up but either failed or we just stopped hearing about it. now i'm no coder so i cannot even begin to make a new replacement site but i am an ideaswoman so i'd like to imagine i was making a site. and i'd love to hear from ex-quotev users and also ex-cohost users and whatever other similar site users that have been displaced. i'd like to create the best imaginary site idea, and see where it goes.

so i'd love to hear what you liked and didn't like on your site of choice and what you think would be cool to add to a new site. i'll go first.

what i love/loved about quotev

the story-writing element. sure, i've used it less over the years but i began my time on Q as a fanfic writer and i still like to dabble occasionally. i also like how you can basically private your stories to only your followers by posting them only to your page and then privating your published tab. i haven't been able to move any of my writing from quotev because of this because other websites don't have a similar feature.

the feed, ofc. it was nice to be able to see what my friends were doing in real time, instead of catching up on it whenever i remember to check their pages. also it was cute seeing people have feed convos.

messages and groups!! its not enough to just comment on stories and activity posts. i want to be able to privately message people!! i want to be able to create groups for story planning or roleplaying.

the layout. i've been trialling a lot of other sites that have various different features and it really makes me miss the layout of quotev. everything is basically on your profile so its really easy to access, and you used to be able to private whatever you chose.

what I'd add

in my circle of friends on Q, we'd create ask books where friends could ask questions in the comments and we'd answer them in the book. i think it would be so cute to have an ask box feature like tumblr's to allow anonymous asks and whatnot.

i've tried a few sites like spacehey which have a bunch of customisation so i would maybe add a bit more customisation to a new website. not heaps ofc, especially since if it has a similar layout to Q, it would also have the option to customise your about already. but maybe something subtle, like being able to change the accent colour. and maybe the option to code your layout yourself

i've heard people talk in regards to other replacement sites about adding multiple accounts to the same main account, similar to tumblr sideblogs so you can access them all from the same account and i definitely think that would be good. helpful because i always have at least 3 quotev accounts at once.

anyway, yeah. this is just me rambling basically. feel free to add your thoughts :)) i just thought this could be a fun little way to discuss our ideal nerd social media experience lol

hi hi !! im a quotev nerd. i agree with what you'd add and what you loved overall - generally, i found quotev was perfect for my needs. i'm a writer, a yapper, and a roleplayer.. she was paradise.

i think the idea of official groups could be neat, which existed on quotev (only for the writers, which like- fair! that's one of the core functions!) but i think like- "quotev tech support" or maybe a group for layout-makers (which there was a big community-run one but you know what i mean!!)

i think one thing it would absolutely HAVE to have no questions asked is the same text editor, which sounds terribly specific but part of why i don't write as much anymore is because i used journals, and now i can't have journals!! (i'm ip banned to elaborate. made too many accounts.)

i think colored text is also one- only in abouts and quizzes/stories i think, though.

better genres honestly.. what if i want to add a super specific not-really-genre to my story? let me do that. idk. it turns out i don't have much to add... quotev was perfect in its original form mostly, privatizing everything ever from people outside your friends was so taken for granted.

dumb shit that me and @smokin-salmon thought of while on call

[ssd-girl]

got a totally random rush of Emotions about Chihiro's gender so hi let's talk about how the entire account of Chihiro 'totally being a cis dude guys' is told by Monokuma, the guy that later goes on to fake a suicide note and falsify an entire class trial just to be pissy. Ah yes top 10 most reliable narrators ever of all time, yes, yes, very convincing

Not to mention in the exact same fucking motive he's very obviously purposefully warping the truth and lying to the cast's faces?? Within the 'embarrassing memories' motive Mondo's is a warped version of the truth. "Mondo killed his own brother" but he didn't, and just about everyone is able to grasp that one. He indirectly led to the accident, but Daiya made his own choices. So wouldn't the same logic apply to Chihiro's motive? "He dresses like a girl but actually is a boy" sounds like you're actively warping her own life experience to send her into Despair.... which is Monokuma's primary character motive.... crazy how that works........

And now, a compilation of every line Chihiro delivers in her own backstory, without the narrative padding from Monokuma explaining to you why this is totally her hating being a woman and wanting to be a man

"Now nobody will be able to say anything about 'even though you're a boy'..."

"I'm... weak... Weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak...!"

"Now's my chance..."

"I'm going to get stronger... and accept who I am..."

"Strong enough so that when someone says 'even though you're a boy' it'll be okay. I'll get better!"

"Maybe talking to Mondo about it will help give me some courage..."

So yeah, once you pull out the unreliable narrator. You get like, 6 lines total. 1/3 of which specify that she IS AFRAID of people saying "even though you're a boy". Now, call me crazy, but if we're genuinely arguing that Chihiro is a cisgendered man, why the hell would she say the equivalent of "I need to accept being a boy. Gee, I sure hope no one calls me a boy while I do so!" That's. That's inherently contradictory. More than anything, looking at Chihiro's lines as the most reliable source of Chihiro's thoughts about herself, it starts to look less and less like a man who wants to rise above being gnc and be a true manly man, and more like someone who's about to get fucking outed and mocked by Monokuma and trying to do damage control, steeling herself to be called a man and strengthening her mind and body to prepare for said outing.

Earlier in chapter 2, Chihiro is already thinking of starting to try working out, but is too afraid to enter the lockers because she's well-aware she can only enter the boys' locker rooms. The inference that Makoto comes to is that Chihiro is an individual trapped in a killing game that couldn't defend herself verbally in the library the morning prior, and is visibly the physically weakest in the class. Ergo, perhaps she wants to be able to defend herself better? Well, neither of those facts that lead to said inference magically change after the discovery of her dick, so perchance, the reason she wanted to get stronger was still so she could defend herself both verbally and physically?? The ONLY reason you'd have to come to the conclusion she wants to reconnect with her assigned sex is because she is being actively threatened into it by Monokuma's motive, or if you take Monokuma's story at his word, that he'd speak respectfully of the dead. Just like he did with every other character in that game, right?

Also, it's worth noting that in the actual conversation-turned-spiral between Chihiro and Mondo before Chihiro's death, neither Chihiro nor Mondo actually talk about Chihiro's gender, only her strength and desire to destroy her weakness. Yes, Mondo is using he/him in the voiceover, but the entire class is atp, and again. Using that as genuine evidence falls flat because we see in that very same scene that Mondo WAS NOT completely present for that conversation. He saw Chihiro's willpower and spiraled, conflating Chihiro with his brother and lashing out in a ptsd-induced blackout.

Also also, if you're gonna argue Chihiro has no reason to need to get physically stronger unless it's to be more masculine, A) Sakura exists in the same game, and B) please god look up any statistics on the amount of violence trans teens receive. That alone is a perfectly reasonable justification for a trans woman to want to be able to defend herself, especially when locked in a place where you cannot escape your potential aggressors.

TLDR Chihiro is legitimately more believable as a trans woman, and every intervention attempting to explain otherwise comes from a character defined by his love of twisting the truth for the sake of causing suffering. Hi hello does anyone hear me
