3, 23, 54 for anyone of ur choosing!

How often do they show their genuine emotions to others versus just the audience knowing?

What do they feel guilty for that the other person(s) doesn’t / don’t even remember?

What’s their instinct in a fight / flight / freeze / fawn situation?

fyi, w/r/t discord layout changes: they actually did do concurrent testing before rolling it out for everyone, they just ignored the complaining/quantity of people who turned the new layout off in the settings. for some unfathomable reason.

this gets worse the more details i hear about it im not gonna lie......

i know you didnt ask but you've got me heated over this again lol (not your fault btw!)

a vital part of ux is finding the intersection of where the business and users' needs are met & their goals are accomplished. if the users are crying out that their needs aren't being met it is actively detrimental to the business to ignore them. unfortunately, though, and this is... a pattern, unfortunately. the business does not even listen to the designers, or the user feedback, and will believe its own needs supersedes the end user. a designer's job is to find that balance.

i think there are some parts of the new layout that is nice. there are cute little elements of delight and microinteractions that add a bit more of a personal touch even to a non-nitro user of discord! heck, i even like the fact that theres a button at the top to invite someone to a server, and i like that the top of the direct messages shows me what my friends are up to, even.

the aesthetic they're switching to is more "trendy." i can see them justifying the change in architecture to align more with other apps like, to appeal to newer users as someone mentioned to me previously. but... the end result and execution is poor.

i could go on about this all day so sorry to ramble.

tldr: it is likely the needs of the business shifted (and it's becoming more abundantly clear in that because they keep pushing more ways to get capital from the userbase), and that prompted the redesign. execs are probably going over the designers' heads and thinking their needs > user needs, when in actuality its user needs = business needs for a stable environment.

ok thanks (jumps off the soapbox)

p.s i think it is important to listen to the people who actually do like the update too. i am not saying this is you, but im much more interested in a friendly discussion about the discord changes and what you like/don't like about it than to just hear an echochamber. again if you have any questions please feel free to ask!

ive kinda given up on the idea of growing as an artist or any content i make being "big" or anything. i think if my small circle of friends likes the world and charactrs i make then thats what matters

The Hanged Man and the Fool forrrrr an oc(s) of your choice!

[THE HANGED MAN] - Would they sacrifice themselves, literally or metaphorically, for those close to them? If so, what kind(s) of sacrifice would they make?

[THE FOOL] - Do they weight their options when making a decision, or do they impulsively make a choice?

ask meme (still accepting!)

8 and 11 for weiss (for the character building questions !)

How loose is their use of the phrase ‘I love you’?

If someone was impersonating them, what would friends / family ask or do to tell the difference?

TYSM for the prompt :)))<3

hey, I'm thinking about making a luowelt discord and i wanted to ask if i could use this piece of yours as the icon! (bloom) it'd be perfect, it's gorgeous, and you'd be credited within the server somewhere visible, but of course no worries if not. have a good day :]

Oh! I am incredibly honored! Of course you may, as long as there is credit!

Happy luowelt posting my friend!
