#hwtask11

we are already a little into it, but happy summer everyone! i’m sure there are quite a few of you looking for a distraction from the heat, so we’re here to provide a nice and fun task to sit down and do, hopefully somewhere cool! we’re keeping with the format of some tasks in the past, but with a brand new focus. for this task we’re here to find out about your character’s social media and hobbies! 

- as usual there will two aspects to this task, a written part as well as a graphic! we would love to see you implement some parts of both, but of course please feel free to put your focus where the muse is. if that means putting more time into one aspect over the other that’s completely fine, just as long as we see a little bit of both in the post!

- for the visual aspect we would love to see some sort of graphic showcasing your muse’s presence on social media. what that means is entirely up to you! there are a tone of templates out there with a variety of different social media or phone based graphics to showcase. if you need some ideas you could definitely start by checking out these: x, x, x, x, x but don’t hesitate to come to us if you need more help! your muse isn’t really a social media type? that’s totally okay! we’re including day to day hobbies in this task as well, so if a moodboard giving an idea of how they spend their day makes more sense you’re more than welcome to take it in that direction.

- for the written aspect we’ve come up with a list of questions to answer however you best see fit that can be found below. copying and pasting the list directly to answer is absolutely acceptable, or if using them as a guideline for a paragraph fits you better go for it! whatever gives us more information about your character is encouraged! again, if there’s anything you have any concerns about don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

does your muse use any social media? what sites do they use? how much of an online presence do they have?

what kind of accounts does your muse follow online? and what do they post on their own accounts?

is your muse comfortable with a phone or computer? do they use them often? how literate are they with technology?

what kind of profile picture(s) does your muse use on various apps? how often do they change their profile pic/icon?

are they someone who takes a ton of photos when they’re with friends or family? do they end up in a lot of photos?

if given the opportunity, would your muse prefer to make money through an online channel rather than a traditional job?

do they have any hobbies that take up a lot of their time? what are they? are there any special interests your muse has that they like to share with people? are there any that they keep secret?

your muse has a whole day to themselves but not enough time to plan a trip or event. what do they do for that free day?

does your muse listen to anything in particular in their private time? if so, are they more of a music person or a podcast person? what genres do they prefer?

would your muse prefer to go out to spend time with loved ones, or would they rather stay in?

does your muse use any dating apps, or do they prefer to meet people the old fashioned way? if they absolutely had to write a tinder bio what would it say?

as always tasks are encouraged but not mandatory and there is no time limit on when you must complete them by. you are welcome to do the task on whichever muses you want but just keep in mind tasks will count as character activity, since we want to make sure everyone who wants to participate in the task feels like they have the time to. if there’s anything you have a question about or need any help with just shoot the main a message!

does your muse use any social media? what sites do they use? how much of an online presence do they have?

Maggie uses Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook; but as a senator, she keeps her life as private as possible. Her Instagram account is to connect on a more personal level with others as a senator, her twitter account is mainly for her work, whereas her Facebook account is for close friends and family.

what kind of accounts does your muse follow online? and what do they post on their own accounts?

She follows other politicians, the president and vice president (of course), and people she knows personally. She mainly posts photos of herself, places she goes, people she spends time with, and her son, Hershel.

is your muse comfortable with a phone or computer? do they use them often? how literate are they with technology?

Maggie’s pretty good with phones and computers, though she’s not 100% used to them yet, as technology is way more advanced now than it was before the outbreak started in her world. She uses her phone and computer a lot for work, so she’s pretty literate with technology.

what kind of profile picture(s) does your muse use on various apps? how often do they change their profile pic/icon?

he doesn’t know how to work a phone. 

6 -   if given the opportunity, would your muse prefer to make money through an online channel rather than a traditional job?

7 - do they have any hobbies that take up a lot of their time? what are they? are there any special interests your muse has that they like to share with people? are there any that they keep secret?

he likes parkour lmao, so if u catch him jumping from shit, no u didn’t. 

8 - your muse has a whole day to themselves but not enough time to plan a trip or event. what do they do for that free day?

probably go and get some food? or some coffee, he likes coffee like this dipshit needs anymore energy but 

8 - does your muse listen to anything in particular in their private time? if so, are they more of a music person or a podcast person? what genres do they prefer?

not really? he’s heard a few songs he likes the sound of but nothing consistent. 

10 - would your muse prefer to go out to spend time with loved ones, or would they rather stay in?

it kinda depends? he doesn’t really know many people in the city? and the ones he does know are busy most of the time. 

11 - does your muse use any dating apps, or do they prefer to meet people the old fashioned way? if they absolutely had to write a tinder bio what would it say?

does your muse use any social media? what sites do they use? how much of an online presence do they have?

mainly just instagram honestly, she’s probably got a twitter but really only uses it to tweet some annoying thought she has at like 3 am and then not use it again for like six weeks. i’d say she had a pretty decent online presence? she probably posts like once every other week, but is more likely to use stories and stuff rather than a full instagram post

what kind of accounts does your muse follow online? and what do they post on their own accounts?

a LOT of bands. marlene’s instagram feed is predominantly dad rock 70s/80s metal bands. obviously a lot of her friends / family too. on top of that she probably follows some local tattoo artists, different local bands, bars, etc. 

is your muse comfortable with a phone or computer? do they use them often? how literate are they with technology?

i’d say she’s pretty comfortable, she’s been in the city for years so she doesn’t really struggle with using a phone anymore or anything of the sort. she’s definitely comfortable enough to use it daily, though she rarely answers texts. marlene’s the worst. if you text her she will not even read it and will just immediately call you like “whats up”. 

what kind of profile picture(s) does your muse use on various apps? how often do they change their profile pic/icon?

she uses like one picture. she really likes it and sees no reason to change it

are they someone who takes a ton of photos when they’re with friends or family? do they end up in a lot of photos?

i’d say she takes a decent amount of photos, yeah. she’s a fan of documenting her friends/family’s antics. on a more serious note, she definitely enjoys having photos that remind her of good times, that remind her that her family really did live. that her friends were as lively and happy as they were when they were in that moment the picture was taken. it’s a reminder for her that no matter how hard the war knocked them down, they’re still alive and happy here in the city. 

if given the opportunity, would your muse prefer to make money through an online channel rather than a traditional job?

probably not cause marlene really has no idea what she would do to make money like she does not think she has enough talent to make money through the internet.

do they have any hobbies that take up a lot of their time? what are they? are there any special interests your muse has that they like to share with people? are there any that they keep secret?

does getting into fights count as a hobby? no but actually, unsurprisingly, marlene’s really into record collecting. she will spend hours like cataloguing what she has and going to different shops to try and complete discographies. she’s also secretly trying to learn both the guitar and drums but she is terrible at it and does not wanna talk about it. 

your muse has a whole day to themselves but not enough time to plan a trip or event. what do they do for that free day?

use her magic to make herself coffee so she doesn’t have to get up and focus on it, for starters. after that she’s probably head to her usual record shops and thrift shops to see what new they had in. i think even with a day off though, marlene would have a hard time not checking in at work, so she’d probably make up some excuse like she forgot her wallet or something in the break room just to make sure everything was okay. but after that i think she’d be impulsive and go get a tattoo cause like she’s got the time why not

does your muse listen to anything in particular in their private time? if so, are they more of a music person or a podcast person? what genres do they prefer?

yeah she listens to music like 24/7. if she doesn’t have music going on on some speaker/record player at home, she has her phone playing, or headphones, just, always some sort of background noise. she missed so much good music she has to make her way through decades of music idk what to tell you

would your muse prefer to go out to spend time with loved ones, or would they rather stay in?

out with loved ones 100%. even if she’s staying in at one of their places, she is with someone she loves. she hates being alone

does your muse use any dating apps, or do they prefer to meet people the old fashioned way?

probably the old fashioned way, but she hasn’t really been looking for anything. she definitely has picked up people while working but other than that i don’t think she would have a tinder or anything

if they absolutely had to write a tinder bio what would it say?

does your muse use any social media? what sites do they use? how much of an online presence do they have?

she uses a couple, mainly just instagram for any personal things, and then has a work twitter! but mainly just the ig !!

what kind of accounts does your muse follow online? and what do they post on their own accounts?

for work, it’s solely senators, politicians, white house staff etc. for her personal instagram, it’s friends, her siblings, different artists she really likes the work of etc. 

is your muse comfortable with a phone or computer? do they use them often? how literate are they with technology?

yeah, sella has definitely gotten comfortable with technology!! when she first got here, she definitely hated it and wasn’t good at using any of it. but now that her job really centers around technology, she’s as comfortable as the next twenty-something year old!

what kind of profile picture(s) does your muse use on various apps? how often do they change their profile pic/icon?

she uses the same photo across every platform!! she doesn’t really change it ever?? 

are they someone who takes a ton of photos when they’re with friends or family? do they end up in a lot of photos?

sella really loves taking pictures of her friends and family, she will take them whenever she can. honestly, she probably ends up in a lot of photos as well, but she prefers taking them. she just is a huge fan of documenting this time with her and her siblings, knowing they’re safe, that they can be themselves and be happy as a family.

if given the opportunity, would your muse prefer to make money through an online channel rather than a traditional job?

i don’t think so, i think sella enjoys working too much to do something in any kind of social media career. she likes having that traditional job separation. 

do they have any hobbies that take up a lot of their time? what are they? are there any special interests your muse has that they like to share with people? are there any that they keep secret?

beyond her art, not really? between work, school, her family, and art, she really doesn’t have a lot of time for other hobbies. she enjoys going to museums, spending time out in parks and enjoying nature, just anything that keeps her out of the house. sella hates being a homebody, she was kept so sheltered and really only left the family’s estate every so often that now, she will do anything she can to be out of her apartment. 

your muse has a whole day to themselves but not enough time to plan a trip or event. what do they do for that free day?

she’s taking herself, her art supplies and parking herself in the middle of the mall and having a damn blast.

does your muse listen to anything in particular in their private time? if so, are they more of a music person or a podcast person? what genres do they prefer?

she’s become more of a music person since coming to the city. she’s a big fan of like indie folk vibes.

would your muse prefer to go out to spend time with loved ones, or would they rather stay in?

going out and doing something, 100% !!!

does your muse use any dating apps, or do they prefer to meet people the old fashioned way?

no, she definitely likes meeting people the old fashioned way. aka dating your boss’ family :)

if they absolutely had to write a tinder bio what would it say?

social media

rita is very active on social media and her phone in general. it’s really all a part of the job. since she’s a freelance journalist a lot of her information and promotion is done herself. she’ll use any social media that’s popular but she absolutely sticks to twitter the most. instagram is nice for bigger promotions, but she feels like it’s better for talking about herself, whereas twitter is better suited for her actual focus, talking about other people. rita posts on instagram here and there to make sure people know she’s successful and happy but she is on twitter nearly all the time. she absolutely is the type to vague tweet at people, or directly start twitter fights. there are definitely a chunk of people following her who think she’s a troll account. she takes a lot of pictures, but doesn’t post all of them. she’s more the sort to store things around in case they’re needed for something later. she isn’t the type to change her social media icons frequently, but it’s always going to be a picture of herself. it’s all about branding. she wants to be recognizable, and if you change it too often followers will get confused. she’s actually put together a pretty decent following, probably by being obnoxious and unbelievable and posting a bunch of outlandish stuff, but rita has never been picky about how she gets her attention, just as long as people are listening to her, and that’s definitely reflected in the sort of things she posts. 

hobbies

honestly, rita is very genuinely a bit of a workaholic. taking a day off is not a natural activity for her and even when she tries she’ll see something interesting happening around her and go back into work mode. even if she tries to chill out with other people it turns into gossip, which is also just work at the end of the day for her. if she absolutely had to force herself to take a day off she would probably do brunch, a spa day, and then drinks. she likes being around other people even if she isn’t friendly, and a quiet day in would be so incredibly unappealing to her it’s ridiculous. she’s absolutely a podcast listener. though traditional journalism has most of her love, with modern technology she enjoys getting information from apps or podcasts. it’s always going to be nonfiction podcasts related to either straightforward news or pop culture. she’ll put on music for a work out or something of that nature but definitely prioritizes podcasts out of two options.
