the problem with sso’s character creator

i’ve spoken about it briefly before, but while the topic of adding male avatars to sso is a hot one, let me make it clear where i stand - though keep in mind i am a cis woman and thus my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt.

Hey SSOblr,

Can we talk real quick? Cause we need to talk about some shit.

We really need to stop shittalking other SSO communities. Yeah, obviously other communities have problems and we can look at little kids new to gaming trying to report bugs on social and cringe, but, real talk? Most of the other SSO communities I’ve popped my head into, particularly since the Collective started, have be way more welcoming than the SSOblr community. Particularly on Instagram. Yes, there have been frustrating people, but the IG community has been very actively responding and engaging with my content and with the Collective, something this community has struggled with despite about half of the artists on the project coming from this community.

And it’s even more frustrating as I come back to this community and watch creators begging for y’all to reblog their work because that’s the only way people will see their stuff on this platform to get nothing but hollow likes. And a lot of those creators are now moving to IG and Twitter and seeing much more rapid responses than this community has provided in years.

To be honest, this community has gotten extremely pretentious, both towards other communities and about the content “worthy” to be on their blogs. And I’m watching it kill the community. I’m watching creators from SSOblr talking about content protests to make a point or having to leave to actually get attention on their work so they can grow. And while a lot of us don’t want to leave SSOblr because this is our community (and some of us like myself don’t have other platforms to go to with the kind of content we like to create), we’re pouring hours into making content to fill this community and getting nothing back. And that’s exhausting.

Just, y’all, we need to check ourselves when talking about other communities. Cause those communities are actually providing support to others that this one isn’t. And y’all keep on this path, this community is going to disappear.

Yeah this has been a problem on tumblr in general over the last few years, and it’s a little disheartening to say the least when something that takes hours to make doesn’t make it into the double digits for notes and all of them are likes. I kind of understand with my own content because it’s uh. kinda niche. but I see exactly the same thing with pretty much every creator on tumblr and have no idea why. This site functions on reblogs, we can’t get out art out there if nobody shares it.

Star Stable Online: All Quest Dialogue/Lore

Have you ever wanted to relive quests you’ve already completed? Maybe you’re writing fanfic and want to cite SSO lore? Perhaps you’re coming up with game theories and can’t remember how one quest went down?

Linked below is a Google Doc where I will be keeping a record of quest dialogue. As of right now, I’m thinking of including at least screenshots of significant events, but please let me know if you think there’s anything else I should include.
