Oh, I just remembered. This happened a bit before I suddenly got suspended. I wonder if it has anything to do with my suspension? 🤔
I don't remember whether I put my phone number or not ngl I didn't check
...DID I GET SUSPENDED BECAUSE OF THAT??? BECAUSE I DIDN'T PUT PHONE NUMBER (if I hadn't put it)??? 😭😭😭
I just checked Reddit and stumbled upon r/twitterhelp that somehow I don't remember seeing before and it seems there's been an uptick in random mass suspensions ately? 🤔 And that apparently "inauthentic acc" is one of the main reasons accs are mistakenly suspended 💀
Going through the posts...whether your appeal gets accepted AND whether you actually get your acc restored or not is a gacha, after all...m a n 🫠 I don't have much hopes after last time ngl but no harm in trying and keep trying again I suppose...and maybe try sending appeals for my old acc again too lol. I stopped after FINALLY getting this email after so many appeals with no response (only finally got this one after using a certain copypasta LMAO), but it's apparently automated too 🥲
Oh my god THANK GOD I was somehow FINALLY able to make a new Weibo acc (lost my old one due to inactivity) and got hold of CN oomf there so I can contact them outside Twt 😭😭😭 Redundancies (?) is important...!! More points of contact just in case!!

Guess whose #Twitter account got suspended AGAIN LMAOOO. 🤪🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭 It hasn't even been a full year...last year happened on May!
Same reason as before too lol. I swear I'm innocent!! Wtf, Twt?!?! 🙃😭😭😭
May make a new account AGAIN. 🤪
I've been wanting to be more active on FB, maybe it's time... (Hope I don't get Zucc'd LOL)
On the flip side, although I am flabbergasted and pissed off, I'm more prepared this time after the shock of last time. I've been regularly backing up my tweets, data archive, bookmarks, and not-so-regularly backup following. Though of course, some things still unfortunately get lost (and that very act of doing backup might be the reason why I got suspended in the first place, but who knows LOL). This is why backups are important!! And cross-posting!! (Though honestly, I'm still bad and too lazy at cross-posting. 🫠)

Screaming over #Arknights Demetri/Bellone's voicelines
I'M STILL LISTENING BUT AFSJDKDLLDNDLD OH MY GOD 😭😭😭😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏
(Rough TL) "Is the Bellone name important? No, it's the family members, we're family. As for Rhodes, I think they're good business partners. You want to deepen our relationship? Then first, Doctor, prove we have a bond like family."
WHAT THE FUCK!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯 THIS TOO, IS A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL/SLAPS (DELUSIONAL)
HE DISSED VIGIL LMAOOO 🤣🤣🤣
(Simplified) "A certain someone (だれかさん LOL) said you should eat authetic Siracusan food. But not with me. As long as you finish off what I cooked, that's enough."
HELLOOO EXCUSE ME??? ARE YOU FLIRTING WITH ME (DOC) RIGHT NOW??????
I SEE THIS AS "Someone said you gotta eat authetic Siracusan food 🙄 Not me tho as long as you finish off the food 🥰" LIKE??? LIKE HE'S BEING SMUG HE'S "BETTER" THAN VIGIL...LIKE WOW COMPETITIVE MUCH. THANKS FOR FUELING MY LOVE TRIANGLE DELUSIONS!!!! (DELUSION) (INSANE)
To be more precise, Vigil said: "If you want to show respect to the Siracusans, then hire a proper Siracusan chef. The next time I see any "innovative Siracusan cuisine" out of your minions... Beh, let's just say somebody knows about your little office naps, and it'd be a shame if the beans got spilled on your beauty sleep." Oh yeah "show respect to Siracusans" I forgot English LOL
"If you don't want to rely on me, that's fine. But there will come a day when a leader can't do everything alone. So when that time comes...I guess you'll have to listen to my little request. Remember, you have no right to veto."
THE WAY HE SAID THIS HELLO??? IS THAT A THREAT????
I DUNNO HOW TO TRANSLATE TALK AFTER TRUST INCREASE 3 (he's saying Doctor can't tell him what to do and he'll do things "his (my) way"? Gacha banner name drop lol) BUT THE WAY HE SAYS "D.O.C.T.O.R" LIKE IT'S A THREAT OH MY GOD AFSHDKLDLDLD 😳😳😳
*To be more complete, in the end he says, "That's how I do things. I hope you'll get used to it, D.O.C.T.O.R"
In idle, he told Doctor to rest and he made cocktail 🥰💕 wait, I don't think alcohol is okay on the job LOL
4-star battle result: "With me around, glorious victories like this will become a daily occurence~" SMUG BASTARD LOL
Assigned to facility: "You have quite a big family. Seems like it'd be a pain to keep an eye on each of them." LOL
Trust tap: "Okay, let's go out! Come and explore our island together."
IS HE ASKING FOR A DATE??? WND WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY OUR ISLAND???? HELLO???????
New year: "I'm going back to my family to have a meal together. BUT I will have dinner with you. No matter how late it is, I'll definitely come back."
ASGDJKDHDKES OH MY GOD THAT'S A PROPOSAL (DELUSIONAL)!!! AND THE WAY HE'S SO SOFT WHEN HE SAYS HE'LL COME BACK??? 🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭
Like he said he's going to eat with his family...but then also eat with Doc?? Huh?? Is Doc part of your family too now?? IS THIS A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL??? /SLAPS (DELUSIONAL)
Anniversary: "You have the same idealistic eyes in your eyes as my friend (友人). Don't worry, I'll be your strength, in my own way."
THE WAY VIGIL SAID HE AND DOC ARE SIMILAR AND DEMETRI CONFIRMED IT AGSJDKLDKDLD AAAAAAAAA
Birthday: "Since it's your birthday, tell me what you want to eat. I'll make you anything! Yes, even fruits on pizza." (I couldn't translate the rest help but it sounds like a threat lmao)
AAAAAAADGSJKDLDJ TRULY A (DANGEROUS) MALEWIFE...THANK YOU THANK YOU 🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
REVISION: The last part I missed is "Even fruits pizza…if you dare to ask for it, that is." AFSJKDKDHDKD I KNEW IT WAS A THREAT OMG 😳😳😳
THE WAY HE REALLY GETS SCARIER/HIS SCARY SIDE GETS OUT THE HIGHER THE TRUST...AMAZING. I LOVE IT 😇😇😇

HG ACTUALLY REALLY MADE HIM TO CATER TO YUMES AND DOC SHIPPERS (idk how else to say it) TOO...THANK YOU HG I'M SORRY I DOUBTED YOU. I LOVE THE DISS TO VIGIL AS HE DESERVES (AFFECTIONATE) 🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
OH MY GOD the impact of the rest of his voicelines was so high I somehow forgot this one even though it also made me 🤯🤯🤯 LOL
LIKE, DEMETRI IS GOOD WITH HIS FINGERS?? AND TOUCHING/HOLDING HANDS??? HOW LEWD!!!!
(Talk 3: Doctor asks Demetri to teach them how to spin the lighter in his fingers and Demetri went, "Give me your hands." AND HE SAYS MORE WHILE TOUCHING HANDS LIKE IT'S AN OTOME GAME???)
THIS!!! TALK 3 WHERE DOC ASKS HOW TO SPIN A LIGHTER ON HIS FINGERS AND HE JUST ASKS FOR DOC'S HANDS AND-

> Artist Menfess: term bahasa indonesia “artis” yg malah lebih dikenal sebagai entertainment ini bikin rancu ya, padahal kata artis itu dri “art” yg mana seni, pernah kenalan, pas kenalan aku ngenalin as “artist”, jir dipikirnya artis sinetron ☺️
KBBI VI: artis = ahli seni; seniman, seniwati (seperti penyanyi, pemain film, pelukis, pemain drama)
Merriam-Webster: artist = a person who creates art (such as painting, sculpture, music, or writing) using conscious skill and creative imagination
Yes, "artis = actress/actor" is strong in Indonesian for some reason (interesting research topic). But the term isn't exclusive to visual artists (like illustrators), either. Visual art isn't the only art form that exists, acting is an art form, too.
Not gonna lie, this is why I've always been iffy about the common internet usage of "artist" to only refer to visual artists. This is why I liked "content creator" because it's more inclusive (until it isn't, and the pragmatic meaning shifted). But I digress.
Spot the literature linguistic student!! 😩

1. I Offer You Nothing
2. Why Did I Stop/Pause Creating?
3. Speaking of Which, I Dislike the Term Content - A Semantic and Pragmatic Study (Short Version)
I OFFER YOU NOTHING
Summary of my blog post.
Seeing everyone else doing something made me feel strangely inadequate for my own inaction. In a digital world where seemingly everyone is creating "content" and the feed is constantly screaming for attention, I’ve been wondering where I fit in. I often feel like I offer "nothing" to my followers - no consistent substance, no funny bits, just a chaotic mix of retweets/shares and occasional life-updates. It’s an eternal tug-of-war between "this is my account and I can do what I want" and the guilt of not providing something "valuable" to the people who follow me.
The truth is, my creative process is mostly a solo act born out of necessity. As a tired and not rich bear, I’ve learned to be self-sufficient, creating for myself and my own ships or OCs because I don't have the energy or funds for much else. While I’ve moved away from using Twitter as an open diary (shoutout to my messy Obsidian journal for doing the heavy lifting now), I still feel that occasional sting when I post something publicly and get no engagement. It makes me question why I post at all, but I think I've realized that for me, platforms like AO3 or Tumblr are mostly just archives - I’m throwing my work into the wild and letting it exist there, regardless of who sees it.
Ultimately, my mind is just incredibly loud. Between coding frustrations, aviation facts, Virtual YouTubers, manga, manhwa, anime, games, etc, there’s too much going on to ever fully translate into a public post. I wrote this because my journal was getting too cluttered and I needed to find some coherence in the noise. I might not have a clear "point" or a grand conclusion, and I know I’m probably a bit of a weirdo for being this open, but letting these thoughts out helps me understand them. If I’m a multi-fandom chaos who offers nothing but my own niche interests once in a blue moon, if any, then so be it.
WHY DID I STOP/PAUSE CREATING?
If you ask me why I stopped/paused drawing and writing for so long...even now, I can't quite answer that with certainty. It's something I must mull over and untangle for a long time. But my conjecture is: depression and starting another hobby, namely coding. While I found joy in my coding - or to be more precise, indie web - endeavors, it's not something a lot of people notice and appreciate nowadays, unlike artworks and fanfics. Long gone is the days of "mainstream" Geocities, personal websites, and fan sites. A bit unfortunate, perhaps, but such is the fate of a niche hobby. At the very least, I know I'm not alone. Shoutout to my indie web neighbors!
SPEAKING OF WHICH, I DISLIKE THE TERM CONTENT
A Semantic and Pragmatic Study (Short Version)
In the past, I once mentioned that liked the term "content creator" because it felt inclusive, but my feelings have shifted over time. To explain why the word now feels icky, I have to look at it through two linguistic lenses: semantics and pragmatics.
In linguistics, semantics is the study of literal, dictionary meaning. According to Merriam-Webster, the noun "content" means: substance; gist; meaning; significance; something contained; the principal substance (such as written matter, images, music, etc.) offered by a website or on social media. Semantically, it’s a perfect umbrella term. It doesn’t care if you are an illustrator, a writer, a musician, or a coder; if you put something inside a medium, you are creating what is inside. This is why I liked it at first, as it gave standing to creators usually sidelined in the general internet term of "artist" but are still making things.
However, pragmatics is where the trouble starts. Pragmatics is the study of how context contributes to meaning - how a word is actually used in society. In the current landscape of the internet, the pragmatics of "content" have shifted over time, from creative expression to industrial commodity. The pragmatic use of the word now implies something disposable. It's a filler with no merit or artistry that keeps people scrolling, a quick and mindless consumption with no substance and depth.
In the context of today's internet, when the word "content" is used, it isn't just describing a medium; it's describing a unit of consumption. Semantically, a poem and a 5-second clip of a dancing cat are both "content," but pragmatically, the word strips away the human intent behind them. It turns a labor of love into a metric - something to be measured by engagement rates rather than by the connection it makes with another person. By calling it "content," creators - whether they are illustrators, writers, coders, or dreamers - become suppliers for the algorithm. Machines that exist solely to endlessly churn out products.
And I know for a fact that I am not alone in noticing this pragmatic use of the word and disliking it.
Because the world uses "content" pragmatically to mean constant output, I noticed that many hobbyists often fall into a trap. We start to view our own private joys - our OCs, our ships, and our loud thoughts - as unrealized products that haven't been "packaged" for a public feed. The internet asks, if it's not "content", does it even exist? This creates a pressure to constantly extract value from our hobbies, to churn things out just to be visible, turning a stress-free hobby into something that feels like work. But a hobby shouldn't be a job; it should be a sanctuary where we are allowed to create things that are messy, private, and - most importantly - commercially useless. Not everything has to be monetized.
Of course, I'm not saying that applies to everyone. It certainly does not apply to a professional who has to make ends meet. One may argue that the word "content" isn't always used with the "mindless consumption" context, and that is true - it's simply that the heavy association has soured it for me. And I understand that right now, there isn't exactly any direct equivalent to the term "content" that can replace it (not as far as I know, at least). I'm not telling you to stop using it either, you are free to keep using it. This is just my personal opinions and feelings.

It turns a labor of love into a metric - something to be measured by engagement rates rather than by the connection it makes with another person. By calling it "content," creators - whether they are illustrators, writers, coders, or dreamers - become suppliers for the algorithm. Machines that exist solely to endlessly churn out products.
And I know for a fact that I am not alone in noticing this pragmatic use of the word and disliking it.
Because the world uses "content" pragmatically to mean constant output, I noticed that many hobbyists often fall into a trap. We start to view our own private joys - our OCs, our ships, and our loud thoughts - as unrealized products that haven't been "packaged" for a public feed. The internet asks, if it's not "content", does it even exist? This creates a pressure to constantly extract value from our hobbies, to churn things out just to be visible, turning a stress-free hobby into something that feels like work. But a hobby shouldn't be a job; it should be a sanctuary where we are allowed to create things that are messy, private, and - most importantly - commercially useless. Not everything has to be monetized.
Of course, I'm not saying that applies to everyone. It certainly does not apply to a professional who has to make ends meet. One may argue that the word "content" isn't always used with the "mindless consumption" context, and that is true - it's simply that the heavy association has soured it for me. And I understand that right now, there isn't exactly any direct equivalent to the term "content" that can replace it (not as far as I know, at least). I'm not telling you to stop using it either, you are free to keep using it. This is just my personal opinions and feelings.
