Abbie

They really have to add a notification badge to friend requests omg. I wish there was some kind of direct communications channel for the Quenq guys so we could make QOL suggestions.

Question for the Quenq users of drinking age...
Does anyone have any whiskey recommendations? I loveee the apple Jack Daniels but not a lot of places have it where I am, I'm not crazy about regular Jack either.

Desperately want to try and made a beaded curtain like these but I've heard it's difficult. They're just so pretty...

Seeing everyone's introductions made me realise I never did one myself:

My name's Abbie, I'm from Wales, I'm 21 and studying geography at uni (I'm between 3rd and 4th year, I'll be getting an integrated masters degree). I'm hugely into both human and physical geography, as well as maps and flags.

I spend a lot of my free time on Pinterest, mainly I like to create boards for specific fashion / design aesthetics. I love all things whimsigoth, 70s, 90s, and 00s, as well as edgier alternative styles (think hardcore, alternative clubs, industrial, etc.). Also I love to drink yay hooray!!!

As for music I'm a lifelong fan of hard rock, nu-metal, pop punk, alternative rock, and post-hardcore. These days though I tend to lean more towards industrial rock, shoegaze, trip-hop, goth, adult contemporary, stuff like that. I'd say my current top artists are Snake River Conspiracy, Incubus, Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star, KMFDM, TOOL, Helmet, and db9d9.

I used to watch and read a bunch of animanga but not so much these days, I was a fan of Blade of the Immortal, Berserk, Hellsing Ultimate, 20th Century Boys, and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I play a lot of games of varying genres but most recently I've been into Civ6. I've recently taken up drawing again and have been having a good time with that (you can see some of my stuff on my page). I don't watch a lot of shows but I've recently watched Peep Show and really loved it.

On a very amateurish level I've started getting into fragrance, though I mainly just go for beautiful bottles I can display in my room (I'd love some recs for nice bottles!)

I believe that just about covers everything, If you're into anything I've mentioned then feel free to leave a comment or message me, I'm pretty much always online.

(also JOIN MY GROUPS there's buttons on my page I SWEAR THEY'RE COOL!!!)

I think the 20,000 character limit has finally caught up to me :^[ please quenq I'm not finished yet

I would kill for a nice light switch / outlet cover, unfortunately UK light switches are such a pain to change. If you live somewhere where the covers can easily be taken off then I think this is such a cute idea!

Huge collection of textures, brushes, fonts, and other stuff compiled from 2000s blogs.

I've made the ❀ Quenq Deco ❀ group for room decoration inspo, etc.
If you have any cool stuff in your room to show off or want to share ideas for aesthetics, designs, layouts, etc. then come and join!

These are so fun to draw it's like playing a dress-up game

If you like Geoguessr but don't want to pay for it, there's a free alternative called Geotastic. It has a bunch of game modes, different maps, and can be multiplayer, you just need to make an account.

Who's in your top 6? For me it's something like:
1. Flygon
2. Breloom
3. Gengar
4. Ampharos
5. Mawile
6. Bewear
But I've always found it so hard to choose just 6

Monday Afternoon

I haven't drawn for years but seeing everyone's posts may me want to start again :^D

Great site to find backgrounds and textures for an early internet webpage style, there are different categories of texture and a lot of them are repeating/tileable.

This site has been a life saver for making my skin and is especially useful if you're an artist or graphic designer or anything like that. It has a bunch of tools like generating colour palettes, making gradients between colours (either as a continuous gradient or a palette), letting you test out your palette on different graphics, and some more neat stuff.

In the event any of you are into industrial rock / electronic, the song Headhunter from db9d9's self titles album is seriously underrated. It's the perfect alternative club song, it makes me feel like Blade or something

Wherever the line is for having too much clutter on your profile I have long since sprinted past it

If you're an Apple Music user, on desktop you can use the built-in visualiser with Window -> Visualiser. It defaults to a modern style but you can change it to a classic media player style with Window -> Visualiser Options.

One of my fav time killers is this random image generator on perchance, it shows you a random selection of images taken from Imgur from the 2000s and mid 2010s, it's like a time capsule (be warned it does sometimes include nsfw images)

If you didn't know, Moshi Monsters is still available to play using Moshi Online, you just need to download the client. It's now owned by MindCandy which was the original company but it's fanmade so it has some QOL features and custom moshlings/items that weren't in the original.

Another good website for early internet style backgrounds, many of them are tileable

http://backgroundsarchive.com

Really a variety of stuff on this site including games, a forum, a picture gallery, definitely worth exploring. It has a 90s look but I believe its only about 10 years old.

I've added a fun surprise on my page, you have to scroll all the way down and then back up to activate it (no idea why but I can't seem to change this) :^D

I'm trying to add the rotating "✦" icon from the Prttyscngrl! skin (I'm using "✿" instead" and I've managed to get it going but it's rotating about the bottom left of my page and I want it further up, does anyone have ideas on how to move it?

I've made another group, ⌕ Quenq Web ⌕, for sharing cool internet finds, seeing as this site in itself is a cool internet find!

What kinds of groups do you guys think people would use? If more users keep joining I think it would be cool to have more groups

A DSI makes for a legitimately good music player
Sound quality is better than you'd expect, it has shuffle, it can play with the lid closed, you can make playlists, and there are a lot of fun bonus features like the pitch tool and the visualisers
I really recommend it if you want a music player and have a DSI or 3DS lying around

Just made a new group for music recs and discussions, ♫ Quenq Radio ♫, join if you like music and want to share what you listen to :^]

Industrial Metal/ Industrial Rock
-
My friend put me onto Snake River Conspiracy, they only have 1 album but I think its incredible and worth a listen if you're into bands like Nine Inch Nails or KMFDM.

Anyone have music recs for something that feels similar to Mazzy Star / Cocteau Twins / etc. ??? The more miserable the better :^]

Hi all I'm new and have never used html before in my life but I've just finished my profile and I think its cute :^]
