#DCA fan brigade chat

[thatmooncake]

Alrighty folks, new year new DCA server!

Okay so we’ve seen a lot of lonely/socially awkward/new DCA fans looking for a place to talk to others and me and @flinxypie who kindly helped build this server are hoping this could be a fun place where we can coax each other out of our shells or at least spend a little while going pssppssppssssp with cat treats in an attempt to lure each other out from under the fandom sofa. The chat’s name is as of yet undecided (to be confirmed once poll results are in) but don’t let that stop you from joining along if you’re interested!

Here’s the link: https://discord.gg/4SYgUdW7Qc

This is a place to make friends where we embrace our awkwardness, our loneliness, and maybe we do it scared but we do it anyway (don’t worry, you’re in good company!). We don’t want to put anyone up on a pedestal out of other people’s reach or have fandom in general be a big competition or grind to get “famous” or stay “relevant”, just a fun space where we’re all equally silly little guys and get to talk about fun things we collectively like and have fun doing it at our own pace.

We plan on doing throwback days for older art, we have channels where you can adopt or be adopted by new friends (a little attention seeking is good and fine actually if you’re willing to give as good as you get) or if all words are failing you you can talk in meows or pictures or one word sentences in one of our quiet channels if you wish (fun fact: there are a surprising number of house cats and cryptids in the DCA fandom). Be a part of some silly fun art/writing trades, magmas or themed art/reblog chains and let’s all draw ourselves with our AU versions or do picrews (We also want to bring back the DCA sleepovers and interaction chains because those looked fun!) along with a bunch more stuff we likely haven’t thought of yet!

Everybody is welcome, lurkers are loved, and new friends are eagerly anticipated - let’s do this! 🎠

Okay everyone who wants to join the lonely DCA fans brigade, let’s be friends!

We can make a group chat for lonely/socially awkward fans if anyone wants to help out or be a mod (my time zone is the worst so I would probably need help) or if that’s what people wanna do

We can do group pictures on here? (? I’m thinking let’s do outfit swaps with the DCA or the DCA in other outfits, then we can either reblog our additions in a chain or we can give them a tag - plus let’s do more DCA sleepovers again with our AU versions (doesn’t matter if they look different or the same as the originals, all of our styles will make them look awesomely different anyway))

However I don’t wanna make it a space where anyone is treated differently, whether they’re a more known person in the fandom or not at all known, it makes it harder to make friends that way so I’d prefer just to be more low key and all hang out!

If anyone could reblog or comment with any suggestions or if they wanna take part I’m all up for it or if anyone else wants to make a group chat or start anything off please just @ me cuz I want in too! I have to sleep now but I am seeing a lot of people looking for friends and lemme tell you I am one of you and it’s reciprocated, no one in this fandom needs to be lonely, ok?

[thatmooncake]

Can we lonely people all form a silly little club or something? Set up play dates with our respective blorbos? Anyone up for drawing a group picture?

Okay let’s name the new DCA server (as kindly suggested by @emrystheblue !):

[thatmooncake]

Hi it’s me again, still updating on the DCA server for coaxing lonely people out of their shells (link to come later, just check the “DCA fan brigade chat” tag on my blog and it’ll be up there when it’s ready to go, currently working on it with @flinxypie now the work day is over):

1. So we’re definitely looking for mods in busy timezones who are active, please dm or reply if this sounds like you or something you might want to do :>

2. I’ve seen a few neat name suggestions for the server like DCA fan brigade, DCA quiet corner, Daycare quiet corner, Lil social awkward daycare corner, among others! What kind of name does everyone like best? Or should we choose something else altogether? Please reply or reblog with tags if you have any thoughts!

[thatmooncake]

Is the server being mentioned like a discord server cause all the posts were kinda vague and made it seem like just a group dm

Yep it’s gonna be a DCA discord server for anyone interested in making friends, there’ll be a link later and I’ll send links to people who request it :>

Hi, just wanted to ask about the dca discord server, what's the general opinion towards gacha?

Gacha? Basically as long as it conforms with the server rules (SFW and isn’t spamming or an endorsement of gambling etc) it should be a okay depending on what you mean!

[thatmooncake]

I joined the server but I'm a bit confused, it seems like everyone uses a system. Is this server just mainly for people with systems? I feel kind of out of the loop :(

Hello! Everyone is welcome to use the server, system or no! It’s not a requirement for joining by any stretch so please know you’re totally welcome here regardless

[thatmooncake]

just want to say that it's so fricking cool of you to make a dca server aughh thank you for being so supportive in the community its super sweet :^)

Eeee that’s no problem at allll I’m looking forward to talking to you guys moreee :D<3 hoping this can be a chill space where we can all coax each other out of hiding and hang out!

@flinxypie is helping make the server and knows a looot more about this sorta thing than me, now we just need some mods in a busier timezone, and a chat name!
