As a fandom and/or roleplay blog? As a Quotev veteran
I think it’s the fact I used to be super rampant on Quotev as a role player or fanfic writer/reader and everything consumed. Unfortunately, recent Q updates no longer provide any of its classic charms anymore.
No more “feed” where you can see everybody you follow in one scrolling, sometimes see half of a conversation because someone decided to openly chat with a mate in the feed instead of under one post/feed post/comment or PMs. We use pm. Activity is the proper place for the feed, and while it’s still available, you would have to crawl into people’s profile to access it, unless they private it.
Also there used to be a separate bar in the side menu to access the feed. I don’t remember which year when two bars got switched. “Anybody here still pressing the Home button?” I think someone said. I think it was the Home button. I don’t remember the names anymore :(
No more PMs too. Yeah, they remove Messages.
No more Groups. Imagine removing the feed, the pm, and the group, which are all places where you can roleplay as a group or with a partner. Roleplaying pretty much died or became a closed practice or something.
The long and short of it, Quotev used to be a social circle and a nice spot to hangout, but now it’s exclusively a site for books and quizzes. They really said no playtime.
What’s worse, Quotev removed their home screen banner. It used to be a blurred out royalty-free photo (I stumbled upon it on Unsplash woohoo — Photo by Clem Onojeghuo on Unsplash) but now it’s a boring blank slate of blue-grey.
I still itch for rambling and small-scale roleplay (no partner or party necessary) and fun chain games (the sort that goes “add a band, pass it on”) that you might find in the feed or profile About and all the stuff that made Q fun. I think some of the Q exclusive gifs are gone, except maybe the after dark gif.
So I guess to satiate my itch, I’ll just start some random posts here where I ramble about my muse, Lillesøster Sti or Stine Køhler, the younger sister of Hetalia Denmark. She had half a life on Q, but not like it’s canon or anything. It was meant to be for fun and plus, I was a teenager back then. Don’t take this as me moving, it’s just me having a sequel provided by a different distributor. Like how Doctor Who got some content on Di$ney p|us. Same producer, same boss.
Don’t mind the other posts I queued though.
Ps. I never encountered a Quotev crash so no, I do not deserve a “I survived the Quotev crash of (date)” badge. Thought it’d fit the mood though
