@crasher.; woww omg thank you so much ;v;;
i see what you mean; never even crossed my mind. thanks again!
i really appreciate it!

[morris.]

eeeeeee. i know i haven't been too active lately,
but i just wanted to pop in ans say thank you to everyone
who has said such nice things about me. ya'll are the literal best. vuv

@crasher, omg it looks fabulous. i think it really outlines you + your
style v. well. however, i'm gonna agree w/ charmey on this. adding
just a smidge of softer colors would make it even better. (:

[abeille]

who are you currently stalking?
like, everyone.
i'm not even kidding, my bookmarks is made up of coding threads.
mostly though, i'd have to say ari, winter, arrow, and reason. tbh.
omg, and crasher now.
@crasher, dude that looks awesome.
i happen to like the bright colors? idk, i suck at that stuff though so
ignore me.

also,
am i the only one who starts making a form and then realizes i suck at
making forms? and then gets super aggravated to the point where i rly
just wanna post a picture and a name and call it a form because i can't
stand my coding?? ??? like, i'd rather code nothing than code crap??

@attano; omg, literally story of
my life. it happens all the time.

okay i got another question. i'm filled with them, really, cause i've never had anywhere else to ask them heh. anyways, where do you guys get your faceclaims for your forms? i know tumblr, but what tags do you search? cause whenever i use "girl" or "boy" the tag is filled with... *cough* inappropriate things. but when i search things like "hipster girl/guy" or "punk girl/guy", or god forbid i type in "girl/boy gif", i can't really find anything good.

also, do you guys hate it when people use famous faceclaims? like youtubers or musicians? cause it weirds me out. twenty one pilots is getting so popular a good 50% of the forms i see in threads now either use tyler as a fc or use lyrics from one of their songs

@charmey, morris, whoever else said softer colors: i get what y'all mean,
maybe softer colors would make it a little easier on the eyes lol i mainly
made it super bright because it's supposed to be a carnival, but i also have
no idea to fit any softer colors in now ;n; any suggestions?

@doubt: idk, sometimes it's weird for me and sometimes it isn't if it's some
one that everyone knows (like one direction, five seconds of summer, one
of those super huge pop bands) then it's kinda odd but if it's someone who's
really popular/well known in just one scene then i don't find it as weird lol
i don't even know what i'm saying

i'm guilty of using way too many twenty one pilots lyrics but i'm more guilty
of using way too many ghost town lyrics

[aurie]

@doubt yeahhh i feel you haha
if i'm desperate, i'll search 'model guy/girl' or if i'm look for a certain ethnicity i'll do 'korean model'
or 'african model', usually the posts in the general tag are useless unless you get lucky, but if you look in the related tags you can usually find some really good fcs! or if you search a model you do know the name of, that also helps because the related tags will show models, companies and brands they're affiliated with to help find underused faces.

[bast,]

@crasher. maybe you could use the blue from her suspenders in the vertical stripes around the "name here" thing? or maybe some white somewhere (the dashed lines under the "humor" thing? idk what i'm saying either oops)
also, on my laptop, the second post does this. i assume that's not intentional, so i thought i'd let you know~

@crasher., aurie oh thank goodness i'm not alone. thank you for the tag ideas! that's super helpful! i never thought about the related tags >///>

[reasonable.]

@doubt ;; im one of those people haha ; u ; but most of the time when im searching
for gif hunts, i'll use these three on tumblr to help me out : x x x
they have a lot of new and underused gif faceclaims and are updated regularly, and i
can find a character quickly in the mix of things.

[charmey]

doubt, hooonestly its not easy. its one thing coming up with the face claim you want to use but finding a good picture/gif of them? heaven forbid i spend less than four hours on that. i'm not kidding. its a lot of trial and error with different gif hunt engines and a ridiculous about of open tabs running in the background.

crash, no no no, i meant i really liked the bright colors! just that there could be softer accents. like with the "you can handle my" text art area and others like it, maybe try changing that to a softer orange or brown? i might also see what the small text looks like as a brown instead of black. you'd be amazed on what little detailing as the color of text goes in the grand scheme of your coding.
