This is basically a headcanon meme! A talk on Plurk about what sorts of blogs characters would have ICly brought up the question of, "What social media would MOM characters use?" so that's what this meme is about.
Which of your guys has a blog, who has an UsTube channel and what do they post? Who has an account on whatever would be this world's version of Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr, Vine, what have you?? What do they post about and how likely are they to even remember that they have it? Talk about it here! And go around responding to other characters' posts about whether yours would follow them or not and if they'd interact on them.
this is will's (in need of updating) instagram clone (warning for sharks/alligators) because instagraham needed to happen in some universe and he totally has a ustube account where he goes around and likes/favorites 6,000,000 dog videos and fishing stuff
What started out as just collecting recipes and interesting (IF OCCASIONALLY USELESS....) kitchen tips and ideas has turned into contributing himself, usually by tearing holes in peoples "kitchen hacks" that do nothing but make things harder on people, and giving some actual useful advice, because goddamn so many of these suck, especially for people who suck at cooking.
He knows most people aren't kitchen wizards okay, so he'll dumb shit down for them if he has to.
He's not quite devolved into "I HAVE TO MAKE ALL MY OWN FURNITURE OUT OF WOODEN PALLETS" pinning, but has taken to uploading pictures of the resident animals because why the fuck not. He doesn't really associate himself with his account much, and will likely never bring it up in person-- But if he's killing time on the internet? He's probably got Pinterest open in at least one tab.
He's also an avid user of netflix, mostly checking out Western movies (good, bad, whatever- he loves them), telenovelas to keep on in the background while he's doing housewifey-shit, and the parody-drama "Florida Man", based on a fictional imPort that just can't stop whatever it is he does.
He doesn't keep a blog or facebook any other social social media because there's already the imPort network and he barely posts to that because... he has nothing to say to large groups of people. :T Which goes doubly so for large groups of people he doesn't know or interact with. The most social thing he has is his XBox Live account, and half the time he doesn't use a mic on that anyway, unless playing with people he actually knows.
Here's Jesse's actual canon mySHOUT page, from about three (IC) years ago. (And here's Skyler White reacting to it.)
He's got nothing like that here, though. He had an instagram on the site Skye set up last year, but he stopped using it when they broke up.
Otherwise, he's gotten a lot wiser about using social media since he was a baby drug dealer, and he knows better than to have much of a presence, let alone such a... conspicuous... one. If he has any other accounts, it's mostly to comment on other people's stuff. And he definitely uses Tinder for random hookups.
Oh, and if we're including Netflix here, he mostly watches nature documentaries and reality TV because all he wants is to shut his brain off.
Likely addendum: he probably has an account on whatever social media his friends use, attached to his name or not, and follows them.
He's got an XBoxLive account that he uses to play with Shinji (&anyone using his system), and Kaidan. He's had to change his account name once because Khaji plugged himself in to troll other players and he was mortified at how badly that went.
(Khaji may or may not have his own account since then.)
He's also got a netflix account, populated with lots of documentaries and action movies!
.Annnnnd a goodreads account that he hasn't shared with anyone, to keep track of all the new books he doesn't think exist back in his home! AND HIS CR CAN TELL ME WHAT ELSE HE PROBABLY HAS TBH what a sheep.
Crane doesn't use social media himself; he much prefers the musky smell of an old book. There's no comparison to the old leather, which you can nuzzle against your face or chest. Breathe in the timelessness. Can you do that with these media pages? NO.
But I do see him keeping an eye on specific ones if they're around.
he doesn't actually have much of a social media presence, though? He's a pretty quiet person. He does have a contact page/contact email for his...less savory work but he keeps that far away from everything ever, good luck he's behind ten thousand proxies, etc. Very careful about that.
He also has a more public UsTube account that's just like, ten billion favourites of cute cat videos. Sometimes he uses it to broadcast walkthroughs of games or shit like that, but not very much. Mostly he just uses it as Cute Animal Videos Archive. And also whatever the equivalent of rrcherrypie is because tiny food fascinates him like nothing else.
In his own world, none of his crowd used social media. They were too busy being outside causing chaos to bother updating anything on a screen. But here is different. Right now in game he can't do his old hobbies, and he's not at a stage where he's proficient enough with his powers, so I could definitely see him taking out his immense list of frustrations on anyone available at the time.
Tetsuo's one of those people that ruins any Youtube video if you scroll down to look at the comments. He's probably in about eighteen prolonged internet fights at any given time if he's unleashed online. I could also see him with some site like Twitter just so he can alternately complain/yell about any small thing that annoys him and talk about how awesome he is. He'd never admit to having it and would delete it if called on it, but you know he's got this.
One thing to note, he'll never type in English or bother to learn any English whatsoever. The translators are a helpful thing, but it opens up even further chances of internet grammar syndrome.
John has an account for the Instagram clone that Skye made. He hasn't uploaded anything or been on there for a while, so it's pretty much been abandoned. His username is @johnhwatson.
He also set up his blog back in March that needs updating. Mostly just the announcement that Sherlock is gone and it won't be updated if/until he comes back.
Dorian is a social media junkie. :| he's got Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr, Tinder, pretty much an account everywhere with a username that's some form of 'doriangray' or an Oscar Wilde quote. He's SUCH AN AESTHETIC BLOGGER and just like, reblogs artsy shit on Tumblr. he's probably one of those people who spends ages trying to find the right filter for Instagram
and Snapchat is mostly used for dick pics. sorry y'all
Kitty Jones is a SJW on tumblr (or tumblr's Heropan non-union equivalent). Be surprised. She has seventy-three pet causes and is struggling to figure out how to use social media to galvanize people to actually care about them. Posts about this are going to be forthcoming. She also thinks she's totally cool and suave when trolls come along and troll her but actually she gets really worked up and just doesn't realize it.
She also has an AO3 account that she uses to read fanfiction for Twilight and other terrible swoony romance novels.
She also has a twitter that she didn't get into the habit of using because who can express themselves in 140 characters? Issues are complicated and deserve complicated consideration (or at the very least a series of angry reblogs of righteous tumblr posts).
Elsa is boring and uses none of this!! Because she's old being online/staring at screens makes her feel viscerally uncomfortable (mages from her world are basically allergic to computers). Abduxel downloaded this world's version of Snapchat for her, so she technically has it, but she doesn't really do anything with it. It's a minor miracle she even looks at the network from time to time.
Tadashi looks up a lot of stuff for reference so internet usage is a constant thing for him! He's got an instagram that started out as sort of a foodie account but, since Aunt Cass ported in, has become overrun with photos of Mochi. Who wouldn't want to see cute pictures of his fat cat right. Annnnnd with instagram comes twitter and also vine (twine? I think we talked about this on plurk HM)
I headcanon that him and the lab nerds all had snapchat back at SFIT so it feels natural he'd have the MoM equivalent here? Maybe. His UsTube account is just favorites of people building things, cat videos, and whatever cool thing catches his eye. He's got a fav playlist of just music for while he's working too.
Cass follows that instagram and her account is full of pictures of food, especially stuff she's been testing out with ingredients from this world for their cafe. + Mochi. between them they probably have so many pictures of Mochi
Kanaya has a fashion blog on Rumblr where she talks about and shows off projects, but update frequency can be a little weird, like the last three months it would've been pretty slow, though with notable discussion of flame retardant clothing, but it got a lot more attention in March and April while trying to get business going around and after Fanport.
Sometimes pictures of vampire stuff sneak their way in.
Normie's from juuuust before the whole social media explosion, so all of this is totally new to him. As such, he's tried pretty much all of the different sites (facebook, twitter, tumblr, snap chat, vine, etc), mainly just to say he did, but he doesn't keep up with most of them.
Of the ones he does keep up with...
He's got an instagram account that he uses to take pictures of things that catch his eye, mainly buildings in Nonah, and his account is @behindtheeye (he got the name from a snippet of song lyric from "Alice in Wonderland").
After Jessica Drew (who has since ported out) mentioned Reddit to him, he of course checked whatever this version's equivalant is and he's been semi-active on that, staying mainly in the tech, imPort, Disney, and pop culture-related subreddits (oh, and AMA) and staying the hell away from everything else.
He doesn't post anything to his UsTube account, but he has one, mainly to put together playlists combining good music with terrible music that he listens to while he works.
He also is a member of various forums, which, like his Reddit experience is mainly tech, imPort, Disney, and pop culture-related.
(Also, he thinks Netflix is the greatest invention of anything ever, even if this is technically not social media.)
I imagine the Major doesn't have her own social media accounts since she's a hacker that can hack anything and probably doesn't trust putting any of her personal info out there. Besides, if she had a Tumblr, it'd just be boring philosophy quotes and occasional hot chicks.
Real talk, Ripley's a tumblr girl. But she only posts three types of things; videos of cats, gifs from various kid's cartoons, and gifs from various scifis that are definitely not for kids. She also has an AO3 account, and definitely writes crazy actions/drama fics.
Beast Boy is one of those awful people who's on every social media site. Twitter, facebook, xbox live, instagram, reddit, vine, snapchat... all of them(minus xboxlive) are pictures of animals he sees around place. Legit, he takes creeper pictures of dogs he sees on the street and posts them with stupid captions, "GET A LOAD OF THAT DOG." There has been a recent influx of kitten posts though.
Qubit has no interest whatsoever in social media. He likes his faith in humanity right where it is, thanks.
I could see him writing a Twitter bot that passes the Turing test on some slow afternoon, then forgetting about it. It has since achieved self-awareness.

And then he prob forgot about it. Yup. He's used to messages in bottles or letters okay. Not this stuff.
lbr though if he did have an account it's prob full of motivational/optimistic things. And cute animals. Or something like that.
