replying is how you make friends! reply to anything you want and be friendly. don’t make rude jokes if you’re not friends already though!

quote retweeting is a no-no. when you “retweet with a comment” it’s not liked by content creators because it makes a new tweet out of their tweet and they don’t get the likes and retweets they would get if you’d just retweeted it straight up. if you want to comment on a retweet, reply to it or post a new tweet starting with “LRT” which stands for “last retweet” (it’s fine to quote retweet dumb memes and so on.)

you can make your tweets private. this means no one but your followers will be able to see what you post and no one will be able to retweet your content.  you can switch back and forth between private and public at will. some people make a separate private account to tweet personal stuff and let mutuals follow it only. it’s a good way to keep things separate.

what is privatter? privatter is a third party web app that content creators can allow to be attached to their twitter. it lets them tweet content that they can make exclusive to logged in users, followers, mutuals, or a specific list of users. as long as you are logged in to twitter and fall into the intended category, you’ll be able to see it. 

you can mute people you follow. (and those you don’t, ofc.) you can also mute words and phrases and entire conversations. if you mute someone you follow and they reply to you, that reply will still show up in your notifications. it’s a good way to keep the peace!

you can limit notifications to people who follow you or to mutuals. (notifications from people you follow will still show up regardless of which option you’ve selected.)

miscellaneous tips and warnings: if you accidentally unfollow and refollow someone, it won’t show up in their notifications as long as it’s within a couple minutes. no more accidental stuff. everyone can see who everyone follows so watch out. people will know if you unfollow. if you want to report someone and want them gone forever, report a tweet where they used a curse word. screenshotting tweets for harassment is a no-no and can get you banned. don’t be lame. don’t be a dick. vaguing others is generally really bad form and so is complaining about content within a fandom you’re in. use the mute tools at your disposal and don’t be a spoiler. you won’t come back from a rep like that and everyone sees everything.

Secrets…

On three separate occasion, Noctis and Prompto managed to hide a full grown Chocobo in the Citadel for months at a time. The first time they were caught by Cor when he found them trying to get the birds to take a shower. He just closed the door and left.

Gladiolus, despite coming off as a man of a serin is actually very picky about those that he shares a bed with. The big guy is a super soft romantic at heart and may run on testosterone but he’s pretty good at keeping his pants buckled.

Everyone thought that Ignis was super quiet and withdrawn in his teenage years because he didn’t talk a lot. The main reason for this was that from the age of 14 to 17 Ignis sounded like he sucked on a helium balloon for every meal. Just one morning he woke up and had the beautiful voice he has now.

Lunafreya has on too many occasions felt so confide in one of her dresses that she purposely ripped a seam so that she could go home or change.

Ravus once spent 24 hours with a kitten in the lapel of his coat pocket, the only person to say anything about it was Umbra who wished to meet the kitten.

Regis once spilled an entire cup off water on himself in order to get out of a meeting. Clarus watched him do it, he watched Regis remove all the electronics from his pockets, push the important documents out the way and dump the water on his chest turned to his shield and goes, “I gotta go, I’m wet.” They left.

Clarus made Gladiolus and Iris take piano and violin lessons, he chose those instruments because “An Amicitia is not just brute strength…they both will also cause more damage if used as a weapon.”

When she was younger Iris would just stare at Regis unblinking, from three weeks old to three years, she would stare. While he was holding her, sitting in her bassinet, just staring every so often she’ll do it now. Regis feels she knows something he doesn’t…
