Kungfunurse

I've thought about it a lot. I've gone over it again and again. I'm certain ... that it's all my fault.

Anne: like a 3/10. i think she has many offline pursuits that take up more of her time. she has facebook and instagram accounts but posts rarely. most of her screen time is used on the NYT puzzles, in which she has absolutely ridiculous streaks. also a recovered tumblrina

Wentworth: 7/10. again I think he has other pastimes, but he needs social media because he has a lot of friends that live super far away. he has really cool-looking IG stories but then sadposts about missing Anne on his close friends at 3 AM. also a regular twitter user

Sir Walter: 11/10. cannot live without tiktok. specifically i think he’s obsessed with those color analysis videos and judges people for not dressing for their color season. has a sizable amount of followers for being “that mean old guy with crazy drip"

Lady Russell: 6/10. she likes to keep up with people and she will occasionally get caught up scrolling, but she tries her best not to make a habit of it. liberal with the block button, even with people she knows irl. every time Anne posts she replies with at least a dozen heart emojis

Elizabeth: 10/10. i feel like she’d try to be an influencer. makes a shit ton of “collab” videos with her dad and Mrs. Clay in Bath. she puts about a million things on her story every day. she likes to post herself shopping and tag the store thinking they’ll engage when it’s like. target

Mary: 9/10. she is forever watching those AI animal videos, thinking they’re real and sending them to everyone. shows her kids’ faces online despite her husband’s (admittedly very mild) protests. reposts stories about events she wasn’t at saying “wish I was there :(”

Charles Musgrove: 7.5/10, only because I think he’s slightly more online than Wentworth. spends a lot of time on twitter because Mary’s not on it and sometimes he wants a lil break. will use chronically online lingo around his parents and get blank stares.

Louisa: 8/10. TUMBLRINA. she has other social media but mostly i’m claiming her for us. blogs religiously about musicians she loves (mostly kpop), and her blog aesthetic is gorgeous. has many beloved mutuals that are extremely concerned about her TBI

Henrietta: 7/10. also a tumblrina but in slightly different fandoms. runs a pretty popular heated rivalry blog. she maintains Louisa’s kpop blog after her accident and does a pretty good job. feels obligated to reblog discourse posts she doesn’t fully understand

Mr. Elliot: 5/10. i can’t see him being super online. he does have twitter though, and he does call it x. very much enjoys using the internet to lie and spread misinformation. i think his most used site is linkedin. “this is what mr smith dying taught me about business” and shit like that

Mrs. Clay: 9/10. once again she likes to make tiktoks, with and without Elizabeth. “this is a day in my life as a widow with two kids” and the like. Elizabeth and Sir Walter make a callout video after she runs away with Mr. Elliot and she gets so much hate she deletes her tiktok :p

The Crofts: 4.5/10 as a set. they have joint instagram and facebook accounts and a joint email. they’re not super online though. Most of their screentime is puzzle games. he seems sliiiightly more online than she is though

Captain Harville: 2/10. he strikes me as really not online. maybe slightly moreso than he was before his injury, but he just doesn’t have that vibe to me. the only one that could’ve distracted Anne while Wentworth wrote the letter because everyone else was on their phones

Captain Benwick: 6/10. he’s a tumblrina too tbh. has a very cute blog that’s mostly his extremely sad poetry. he reads Louisa something he wrote while she’s recovering and she recognizes him as her mutual. this is far cuter than what happened in the book i think

Mrs. Smith: 8.5/10. would be far less if she could regularly leave the house. employs herself with puzzle games and wikipedia and likes scrolling through kitchencels and AITA. has an uncanny ability for finding the anonymous social media accounts of people she knows

bonus Dick Musgrove: mostly used snapchat. Charles deleted it off his phone after he died so their parents wouldn’t have to see all that

Sir Walter has a silver fox fan club and he's enormously proud of it.

Mr. Shepherd has one of those advice lawyer blogs to drum up business but it's not very popular

like it is supposed to feel jarring and insane. it is supposed to feel like lestat has been violently submerged in modern young people trends and culture and is now repeating all the new words he learned like a beautiful fresh baby. but because the book is from 1985, all I think is oh interesting huh I didn’t know that slang term even originated in the 80s how vintage how retro how lestat wow he’s so embarrassing aw aw so cute.

What have you been up to? Um well it's getting warmer so I've been having to brush my cat every day.

Like no it's not that interesting of a thing to say. But now they can respond to it. They could say, man yeah it really is heating up, I've been trying to think of things to do inside more often. Or, oh you have a cat? What's their name?

This post talks about a new DM feature in youtube. What it fails to mention is that as part of this new feature is that when you send someone a link to a video, and they open it in the youtube app, they will see who sent them the link. Specifically, your channel name.

If your google account name is your real name, so is your channel name by default.

This means the new default behavior is that everyone you send a youtube link to will see your full name if they open it in the mobile app.

To turn this off:

Go to your youtube app settings

Go to Privacy

Turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"

They wear suits, but they don't even know basic etiquette.
