[wip thumbnail btw] TRANSCRIPT: Hi, my names Khalid! Friends of mine can also call me Kaz. I'm non-binary/Male and gay-aroace, and I use They/them pronouns. I have too many interests to list, but my mains are Pokémon, My Little Pony, Art/Animation, and music [specifcally Danny Brown, Underscores, Jane Remover, Tally Hall and Sombr] I've been a member of gaehive since July 2021, on my oldest account @Kynveebunny, although I've only just now been active again for about 2 months. My time zone is CST, and I'm from North America. I'm currently 15, and I turn 16 in May 2026. I believe I would make a good manager due to me being frequently online in the hive, usually from the hours of 2:00 AM to 5:00 AM CST, and occasionally 3:00 PM CST if it's a good day. I have acquaintances with many regulars, and being familiar with the main current managers; I also have studied the rules and would be able to enforce them, I have also helped people out many times, whether it be through a vent, or even advice. I also have experience with dealing with trolls outside the studio, so if that ever happens I'd be able to handle it. Generally, I want to be a manager so I can help out others in the community, as well as being a kind and understanding as best as I can to other members! Helping out others is something I'm very passionate about, so being able to do that on a larger scale would be incredible! My only downside are that I tend to get emotional occasionally so my comments may be more negative. I also tend to misunderstand things easily., which can lead me to responding rudely, however, I always apologized. I also have broken at least 1 studio rule before. I'm unique from the other candidates, due to me being a curator likely much longer than others. I would definitely enforce the rules more firmly, make/add some cool thumbnails, and would be a lot more active than I currently am. I believe being a manger is all about being there when needed, keeping things under control, and making sure no bad apples are included; Definetly keeping people safe is the main priority, but also being an amazing member of the community and helping people out. And now for the fun part: manager promotion suggestions! BetterKeepCalm: He's such a nice, and respectable person, and he's known by many as an amazing person who sometimes gives random factoids at 3:00. Generally, he's pretty responsible and a great help to many, and he's been in the studio for long enough where he's seen all the ins-and-outs. Definetly one the best candidates! Go check Matt's application here: kyun2beat: She not only has experience in managing a large studio [GWDFI] but they pretty active and has been very sweet to those they interact with. She also has experience with the rules and enforcing them, which is why I think she should be manager! eh-okay: I've seen him interact with others very nicely, he's also been active and helps out others when he can. It seems very responsible all in all!
