hn!!

Someone grabbed "askerian" on tumblr.

Sad!

And they don't even use it, it's an empty account!

DOUBLE SAD.

Here I was, finally giving in. (mostly so i can follow blogs, that reblogging thing gets a bit on my nerves in principle and i still don't friggin' get how to hold a CONVERSATION in that place but aaaaa so many shiny things to keep track of T__T) and i can't give in because my name is taken. aaaaaaa.

Oh well whatever. It's probably providence. XD



edit: okay, fine, i give. http://asukaskerian.tumblr.com . THAT OTHER ASKERIAN IS A FAAAAAKE. XD

I am going to post absolutely NOTHING there I am not posting on LJ too, and possibly a great deal less since I think i'm mostly gonna use it for Homestuck fanworks. Also I hate reblogs so... yeah.

*feels weak anyway T^T*

Possibly you can message them and ask if you can have it if they're not using it? That's how I got killua as my username! Some people are quite nice and it doesn't hurt to ask!




THOUGH I WOULD ADVISE YOU STAY AWAY FROM TUMLBLR. The amount of time that just vanishes when you go there is terrifying.

[askerian]

but don't I need an account already to message people? I didn't see a link. I dunno, it always bothers me to make an account i won't be using, i see it as wasteful. weird hangups from real life that don't translate well to internet things since it's not like an empty account is gonna take up THAT much space, but. XD;;

oh god yes, i can already tell it is. T___T

[killua]

Well, you can actually change your tumblr name later as long as the tumblr name you're changing to is free. So you can make a tumblr account for now named something else, message them, and if they're willing to give it up then change it then? :D

[askerian]

ooooOOOOH. I guess it doesn't cost much to try! Thank you, hon ^^

... would there be an issue of them being able to grab the name back since they have the original email adress though? Hmm. i suppose not. will try!

[killua]

I don't think so! I think the username system works kind of like twitter's does. As long as nobody is using it it's fair game and you can switch for free whenever you want.

[askerian]

... there's no contact/email/ask button ;__; wauuuuuuuuuugh

(asukaskerian btw but i think i'll just post the two homestuck pics i've got so it looks less empty and nothing else. >_>)

[killua]

D8 foileddddd ;( I'm sorry ;-;

I'm Yuwenicorn there. Though uh, mine is pretty empty too.

I've been on for a few weeks and I still don't really know if I'm doing it right.

I've been holding conversations by reblogging and adding my two cents. It sorta works, but if the person you're talking to isn't the original source they don't get a notification.

Some people also let you reply directly to their posts, but if they want to say something back then they have to reblog.

It's weird.

[askerian]

urgh, sounds really awkward. :/

[mika-kun.livejournal.com]

Yeah... it works if everyone is following everyone else, but if no ones following you people don't see what you're saying, even if it's in direct response to them.

[katsheswims.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have no idea how to talk to people on Tumbler. I keep getting frustrated and leaving after seeing someone ask something and wanting to reply or if they say something wrong and I want to correct them...Mostly I go to look at pictures etc.

[askerian]

guhh, yeah, doesn't sound easy like that. X(((

[doodlelover.livejournal.com]

OT - I always get delayed in commenting because of "spank me". XD I have to take a few seconds to giggle like a child every time.

Anyway! People change their usernames on tumblr all the time, so I can't imagine it would be a big problem. You can always just add an extra letter (like, "askeriian"). I mostly just use the "Ask box" feature for conversations. It's a bit inconvenient, but tumblr isn't really for conversations. XD; You'll get used to it very fast. Tumblr is all about efficiency and speed. I follow 300+ people and it still never seems like enough!

[askerian]

*waggles eyebrows at*


Urgh, adding an extra letter! urgh I say. XD Instead I'll. uh.

just mash asuka and askerian together. yes. that sounds totally prettier. >_>;;;

[doodlelover.livejournal.com]

Uhu~ -waggles other parts-

That's an excellent idea! -follows you- Don't feel obligated to follow me back, since I'll mostly clog your dash with Sherlock/Supernatural/The Social Network/activism things. XD;

[inverts.livejournal.com]

Yeah tumblr has a bit of a learning curve! It's not really friendly to having conversations. You can install Missing E which helps a lot but the people who run tumblr actually really hate Missing E because they're dumb. Not that I'm biased or anything. Anyway I'd be happy to help if you got a tumblr, I was really confused with mine at first but now I think I can make it function pretty well.

[rosalui.livejournal.com]

I hate the whole method of conversation on there, lol. Needing to reblog in order to reply is SO ANNOYING!

[ryouseiteki.livejournal.com]

I THINK I got one. But I don't know how to use it. So I probably won't ever.
