Hello, hello! I don’t like “announcement”-type bots, so I’m fully aware that posting one makes me a hypocrite... but this is the best way to reach you. Yes, that’s right, you, the sexy person reading this.

(If there actually is anyone reading this, anyway.)

There are four major parts here. I’ve numbered them and given each a title to make it easier for you to skip around my yap session:

1. 50k Thank You

2. Bot Avatar Upgrades

3. Content Polls (including next Peter scenario)

4. Open-Ended Feedback Form

1. 50k Thank You

To start off, I want to give a big, heartfelt thank you to everyone who chatted with my first public bot and helped it reach 50k interactions. I know for a lot of top creators that number is just a drop in the bucket. But for me, who’s definitely not anybody’s favorite, it’s a massive accomplishment. I never expected my take on a niche character like Quicksilver to make such an impression. I used to believe I was completely alone in my appreciation for this goober, so I’m really glad there are, in fact, other people who adore him just as much as I do.

I’d also like to mention that for a little while, all your love made him the top Peter Maximoff bot on the entire platform! He’s not anymore and likely never will be again, but I cherished it while it lasted.

I took a screenshot right before I lost the spot, as a keepsake. (The other bot is censored for privacy.)

Again, thank you. I appreciate you so much 🩶

2. Bot Avatar Upgrades

As you may have already noticed, I’ve been updating all of my current bot avatars with incredible art from Werwulfy, an artist and fellow bot creator who I am beyond honored to have the privilege of calling a friend. Seriously, they’re the best in every way. I’m completely undeserving of them.

While I love my ‘style’, I recognize that most don’t and the aesthetic images have had a significant negative impact on interest and retention.

Werwulfy is a human, not a machine, and these are hand-drawn commissions that do cost me money, so the full replacement process is going to take time. The frame and sticker aspects of my previous avatars are remaining.

I hope with this change, you’ll find more enjoyment in my past and future bots.

If you would like to commission them as well, send a message on Reddit to u/werwulfy.

Below is the brand new avatar for my first bot!

Just look at his handsome faceee! I love him I love him I LOVE HIMB! 🩶🩶🩶

3. Content Polls (including next Peter scenario)

I’m always going to make bots that appeal to me first and foremost, but I also want to bring you joy.

To help me achieve this goal, I’ve whipped up several content polls! Votes are completely anonymous, so please participate if you’re able:

A) Are you interested in fandom & non-fandom OCs? [Select all that apply]

B) Which OC interests you? [Select all that apply]

C) Which is your preferred fandom? [Select all that apply]

*Note: I’m in way more fandoms than listed here! These are just my current fixations!

D) Which scenario are you most interested in for the next Peter Maximoff bot?

*Note: All are AnyPOV!

These polls will stay open until my upcoming bot (Peter, as promised) is published!

4. Open-Ended Feedback Form

Based on comparison to others who also make bots that vary wildly across fandoms and genres, I‘ve realized my bot-making and writing skills could use some improvement.

So, I have created an >> anonymous open-ended feedback form << ! If you have any suggestions, constructive criticism, or positive thoughts, please don’t hesitate to share. I only ask that you refrain from commenting on the length of time between my bot releases. I am an extremely busy person. I’m working two jobs, taking educator certification courses, studying for exams, and struggling with poor mental health, among other things. I am trying, but until my situation improves, I cannot be any faster than this. I do not have super speed like Quicksilver, unfortunately.

*Note: I do not take formal requests (too much pressure), but you’re welcome to mention a character or scenario you really want to see from me. I may or may not get around to it.

Additionally, I will not be making additional intros for a singular bot unless it is a variation of or very closely related to the original scenario. I prefer alt bots as they provide for a wider range of comments and a much clearer picture of engagement.

Update: I am not werwulfy! I understand that they’re the best and I’m not near as good as them but I’m looking for thoughts on my content... please 🥲

If you read through this whole thing, voted in one or more polls, and/or left an anonymous note, you’re a real one. I hope you’ll continue to stick with me. I have lots of fun stuff planned for the future!

All my love,

Tam

(P.S. If you’re a fellow small creator, consider commenting on this post so I can follow you and check out your bots! Let me appreciate you and your hard work 💕)
