SPOP STARTER PACK #1: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1318723390/ Hey hey hey spop! I'm (finally) back with another post! Yeah... rlly sorry for the inactivity on this acc (i lowk had no ideas for another spop starter pack but i have one now yay!!) ANYWAYYYSSS i've noticed a lot of new spoppers lately and i js want to help them to settle in to the comm! This project is about LIFE AS AN SPOP IDOL, basically how to get around in spop! Let's a go (again)! 1. ACTIVITY When you're an idol in spop, try to be pretty active. I would say have an activity level (a common question on audition forms) of around 7-9/10 (I would say on my main I'm an 8.5). This is so that you stay relevant in the spop comm, but also it's so that you can get to know people better and hopefully make friends! (more on this later) However, it isn't healthy to be active 24/7 or a 10/10 for activity, make sure to balance your virtual idol life with your real life outside of scratch <3 (you know the saying, if you spend too much time on your devices your eyes will go square XD) You may have noticed some idols going on 'hiatus' or going 'ia'. A hiatus is basically a break, stepping away from whatever you're doing. This is based off real life kpop, where idols go on hiatus for numerous different reasons (such as health/mental health). It is TOTALLY NORMAL to go on hiatus, just make sure to either make a project about it (so ppl know) and tell any companies you're under that you're on hiatus. 2. FRIENDS Now, I get that speaking to people you don't know can be scary. However, our community is very welcoming! We have people from all walks of life, who all like different things SO I guarrantee that someone in the comm will like something you do! For example, you could ask in the comm smth like 'who here likes babymonster?' (as an example, i'm using my ult group babymonster) and you might get someone answering you 'i do!' and that's where it starts! (i believe this is how me and yukii became friends!) If you want to get to know another idol specifically, you could go on their profile and just ask 'wanna gtkeo' or 'i love ur prf! want to be friends?' Now, ofc not all idols will be open to this, but most will defo be kind and become friends with you! 3. PRESENCE How you present yourself in spop is VERY important. If you're known as a drama starter or a toxic idol, you won't get very far. Try to stay out of controversial topics if you can (however if you feel like something another said clashes A LOT with your morals, ig you can comment on it). Also, if you are giving criticism about another's work, PLEASE don't say it in a mean way (this project is EXTREMELY helpful in distinguishing helpful and mean!) Next, when you're interracting with other idols, make sure to be polite, but also you can speak in your individual way! (for example i speak with lots of no caps, <333 and :), :P, ToT) To elevate yourself in the comm, you could upload regular projects or fun parodies of spop, or regular covers and releases if you are a soloist. This will make you more known in the comm and with other idols! Hope you guys found this helpful <33 (all of this is js my opinion, yours may be different!) Stay tuned for the next installment of SPOP STARTER PACK! - Koko Idol in thumb - Heekie of Unchild
