you were an instagram phannie? how was that like?

Please don’t make me feel old. It was pretty similar to tumblr phandom expect we stole phan art without giving any credit. And posts would be screenshotted from others and slightly cropped wrong so after like twenty reposts half the post was already gone. Also most of us were really young. Accounts were usually messy multifandom (me) or very organized aesthetic accounts. I will say that there very rarely was any drama which I think is a mix of everyone being 15 or younger and also the layout of instagram makes it hard to start beef. Mutual culture was pretty similar except we used thiscrush. I was involved starting September 2015 and slowly moved from Insta multifandom to tumblr multifandom September 2017. I lost a lot of screenshots from the first half because I was paranoid my mom would check my phone and ask what it was after she once caught me writing troyler fanfic.

Here’s a few proof pictures. Not nearly all of them. The amount of dnp pics is nothing compared to 21p. I’m pretty sure I have at least 100 about Josh being a top😭😭😭 I was 12 to 14😭 I need to stay humble:

👄 VENT-ERAN TAG 👄

a tag meme about your time on the Vent app made by PIKO !!

════════════════

✹ Did anyone tag you?

➥ Nah

✹ What's your current Vent UN?

➥ 10thtimelord. I’m quite proud of it.

✹ Do you change your username often? Do you alternate between a few?

➥ No

✹ Do you trade usernames?

➥ No

✹ Do you have any dreamies? Why do you want them?

➥ I really wanted TwilightSparkle for a while.

✹ What was your username when you first joined Vent?

➥ Honestly I’m not sure. It may have been WolfandDragon.

✹ When did you join?

➥ @/L3SBIAN was my original account. As it says there I joined nine years ago. Damn.

✹ Why did you decide to join? How did you learn about Vent?

➥ I don’t remember exactly how but it was likely through Tumblr.

✹ Do you identify as kin? How serious is it?

➥ Yep. Used to have a kin related tumblr blog n everything. It’s never been a huge part of my life but when I consume media related to my kins I get the brainrot again.

✹ Did you identify as kin before joining Vent? Did you know about kin before Vent?

➥ Yes, I learned about it through the hellsite Tumblr of course.

✹ Did you ever buy usernames, back when we could do that?

➥ No

✹ Did you hoard usernames before it was banned?

➥ No. The only username that I’ve kept that I don’t use is @/CHVRCHES because they’re my favorite band. 🩵

✹ Do you have a Vent subscription?

➥ Nah, I’m poor

✹ What is your favourite permanent emotion set? Favourite limited set?

➥ It’s very hard to choose! I really like Werewolf, Solar Eclipse, Sci-Fi, Punk Day, Pride, LGBT+ Pride, Emo Day, Earth Day, Disability Awareness, Digital…

✹ Do you actually choose emotions based on how you feel, or do you choose defaults for an aesthetic?

➥ Both

✹ How important is aesthetic to you on this app? How much time do you spend to choose a nice aesthetic, if you make a conscious effort to do so?

➥ I like when things look nice but sometimes I don’t really put much thought into it.

✹ Were you ever mutuals with "infamous" users? Any stories to tell about mutuals, in general?

➥ Probably but I’ve been on the app for 9 years so I can’t remember who they were.

✹ Have you ever been suspended? Deleted? Banned? Why?

➥ Not that I’m aware.

✹ If you had to guess, how much real money would you say you've put into the mouth app?

➥ I bought some rubber bracelets to support Vent in 2016 or 17. I never received them. I don’t remember how much that they cost.

✹ Have you contributed to Vent culture at all (made tag memes, emotions/emotion sets, caused rule changes, run big groups, etc)?

➥ I think that I made some tag memes but that was it.

✹ Any pet peeves relating to the userbase?

➥ Yeah but it’s not anything different from the rest of the internet that bugs me as well.

✹ Is Vent your primary social media? How often do you post?

➥ No. I don’t use it as often as I used to.

✹ What do you think about Vent staff?

➥ They’re okay.

✹ Has Vent taught you anything, about others, yourself, or the world? What was it?

➥ I knew this before Vent but Vent really cemented this for me; that people will assume the worst about you all of the time. Especially when they’re reacting to something in a knee-jerk way instead of taking time to think before they type.

Tellonym? Curiouscat? Back in my day we had Sarahah, then it got taken down because people were just using it to bully others.
