flitter!

Buzz buzz buzz! That's the sound of your network device receiving a social alert. Maybe you've poked around your device a little bit already, or maybe you haven't, but either way - you're about to have the chance to take part in one of Fable's social apps!

The notification chimes directly from Flitter (the fairy version of Twitter!) And this app is exactly what you would expect. Mostly nonsense scattered among hundreds and thousands of Fleets (Tweets) from the mystical creatures of Fable (and beyond!)

Your device pings you to the following post:

The Fae
@faithtrustpixiedust Flitter

New Fable villagers!!!!!! Give us ur most spicy take! GO!!! #fablenewbies

While as fun as they are kind, no one can deny that the Fae have a tendency to be quite mischievous. Giving them access to social media only seems to enhance these feelings! Looks like they want the new inhabitants of Fable - or just anyone who receives a magical notification - to post to Flitter with their spiciest take! Do you have certain opinions on how milky a cup of tea should be? Do you think sprinkles on cupcakes are essential or pointless? No matter the opinion, the Fae want to see it and strike up discussion!

Time to grab the popcorn.
Copy and paste the following code into your comment section to make a Flitter post:

Welcome to Fable's first network social! Please read this before participating!

This social post is open to everyone! This means that you do not have to be a member of Fable to participate! You can think of it like a fun TDM, since network socials like this will happen every month within the game.

We ask that non-Fable residents mark that they're not in-game in their subject line, and that Fable residents use the hashtag #fablenewbies in their posts so that the Fae can find them! After all, they wanted to see some exciting conversations brewing within Fable, but outsiders are more than welcome to chime in as well. Feel free to assume that Flitter is just as big of a dumpster fire as real Twitter. The code is only required for a toplevel, but replies can be written in a text font (like courier.)

Lastly, while we love IC banter, please remember to be civil and familiarise yourself with the game rules. Have fun!

That's probably more of a good take to have instead of a spicy one?

[mermaidcursed]

oh im totally right!!!! buuuut not everyone wants to hear it

[fullgauntlet]

I guess sometimes you learn things about people sooner than later... And that's for the best!

[As a short guy! He's more than just height!]

[mermaidcursed]

( she can't fully say anything, she likes tall guys.... and tall girls. tall people. but at the same time, she's older and wiser than when she'd trail after some handsome tall boy-

she is barely older and wiser. buT IT STILL COUNTS FOR SOMETHING- )

well i'm doin numbers, so maybe someone will take these words to heart!

[veardant]

Is height so important?

[mermaidcursed]

it can be, depending on what someone wants? i like tall people but it's not a deal breaker.

buuuuut someone tall and good looking will make people stop thinking sometimes.

[veardant]

Hmm. I suppose it's never been a factor, for me. I prefer a good brain and a good heart.

[ he's super demisexual i'm sorry ]

[mermaidcursed]

and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! (those are also very important too so yeah)
different strokes for different folks!!! or something like that?

[rainswords]

If I may. I do have a question. What does isn't actually that great entail?

[mermaidcursed]

lacking in personality, manners or just kinda boring, but he's tall so you overlook it. it happens a lot tbh :( and not just to me!

[rainswords]

While I don't fully comprehend, I hadn't imagined it to be so dire. I initially assumed this was more of an issue with incompatibility. You know this does remind me of a story. It's not quite the same circumstances. But does it truly happen so often? Let me think. I don't recall anyone I know being enthralled so thoroughly by height fail to notice personality. Or lack of.

[demonicbookworm]

What makes a guy great?

[This is a very important question to him, okay!! He wants to know how to be cooler...]

[mermaidcursed]

that can be dependent on the person!!! but the key things is that a guy should be kind, brave and smart!!!! bravery isn't anything without intelligence to keep from running into danger, intelligence that isn't backed by kindness is cruelty, and kindness with the bravery to act on it is important!

also passion!!! passion is fun and cute and inspiring so its very good. the things u like and can share with others are important bc if youre welcoming people into your life they have to understand why you love the things u do and if not understand than at least accept it??? and i think its nice when someone shares their passions with me, its a bonding experience!

uhhh tl;dr someones character is what makes them great.

[demonicbookworm]

Kindness, bravery... wisdom... passion... I see. Someone like that would be really amazing.

Let me note it down.

[mermaidcursed]

( she is being so good and leaving attractiveness out of it. )

is that what you're looking for in others or what u wanna be :0

[inceptor]

Height isn't an indicator of character. Anyone is capable of being a terrible person. Hope that helps

[mermaidcursed]

( WHO is this edgelord... are they 15

... okay no lie she's not actually sure how to respond to this, she was never great with internet trolls- )

would you like to talk about it

[inceptor]

[ Like 415 but...close... ]

Talk about what?

[callmekacchan]

Forget height.
If he can't benchpress you, what's even the point?

[mermaidcursed]

........ that is an excellent point, have a gold star ⭐

( i am literally in tears )

[callmekacchan]

Damn straight it is.

[[Damn gay it is, Katsuki.]

[floatsaway]

[BRB, SHE'S LAUGHING FOR 800 YEARS BEFORE ACTUALLY FINDING THE POWER TO RESPOND COMPLETELY. Thank god this is text...she's flushed and panting from how hard she just laughed.

Oh, honey...you hit the nail on the goddamn head so hard the Earth split in two.]

I don't think that's a spicy take *or* bad advice at all!!!
A lot of the times the first person you crush on is the worst person to be in a romantic relationship with...
You're just *attracted* to a *part* of them, not the whole package.

[mermaidcursed]

( "first"..... looks away. she's outed herself enough already. )

i know lots of people have recounted having trouble with this even well into adulthood!! is something they need to consider if things aren't going right but they don't wanna end it!!

[floatsaway]

[Nene, you are so valid...]

Mm, exactly. I definitely fell for someone in middle school once before...and while I usually like to keep an open mind, they were really nasty.
Not just to me, but to my friends, and other people, too...
And never changed, either.

I'm sort of glad I ended up going to the high school I'm at now and never have to see them again...
