my manager application !! :3 if you're confused about anything ask in the comments sorry for the lazy thumbnail ✨ A little bit about you, including how long you've been a member my name is fin or elodie ( i mostly use fin ) and i use any pronouns. i've been a member since late 2020. ✨ Optional - your age/age range, a general time you'd be online with your timezone i'm in 8th grade, and i'm active pretty much every day, and i'm most active during the school week after school's done. sometimes i have activities after school (fridays and sometimes tuesdays) ✨ Why you would be a good manager i've been a member of the studio for a pretty long time, and i know a lot of people there. i check the curator discussion & curator introduction & other branch-off studios a lot. i try and interact with new gaehivians and keep the studio a positive place (obv i can't do that as one person but i try haha) ✨ Downsides to you being a manager i have trouble reading people's tone in messages and often forget to use tone tags. i have some mental stuff going on but i'm working on it and i think i've come pretty far. ✨ Unique things you could bring to the position i could create events/activities for the studio which might bring the studio together as a community, especially with the rise in drama in the studio lately. not sure if this is really unique because they've affected a lot of people but i'm a direct victim of a sockpuppet ( you know which one ) and they still reach out to me sometimes, so we can know which accounts to avoid. really i'd just like to help make the gaehive a safe comfortable community for everyone. ✨ Your stance on one or more of the Gaehive's current main issues [ hostility toward newcomers, venting, ignoring advice/euphoria comments, exclusionism toward certain identities, trigger warnings ] i totally get why people are hostile towards newcomers because of sockpuppets and things, but i think people should be a bit more welcoming to them because 9/10 times a new person's not going to be a sock. when people vent or forget trigger warnings, please try and respond to them something along the lines of 'i hope you feel better/i hope it gets better, (maybe some advice), but in the future can you ask to vent on someone's profile (or on your profile or smth.)'. i see all the time people getting super mad when people forget caps warnings and we really gotta work on that :|. about advice and euphoria, i know there's a studio for advice, perhaps we could make one for euphoria as well? ✨ What you would improve about the Gaehive if you were promoted i would try and stage events or activities that bring the gaehive together. i also would make things like 'self care hour' like how there's 'cringe hour' or 'positivity hour' where everyone does something like drink water, go on a walk, have a friendly conversation, etc. ✨ Three or more other members who you recommend we promote accompanied by why they would be a good manager and a specific example of a time they improved the studio, whether big or small [ this means to recommend other people, not to get others's recommendations ] 1. eva their manager application is really well written. i think they'd be a great manager. 2. vireo/wren they've dealt with trolls/socks before and i think they're good at dealing with drama. 3. scout/kieran/scott they're really cool and i think they would be really helpful with the positivity in the studio. 4. good at resolving conflicts !! theyre very nice 5. i didnt feel like writing a whole thing for him but she's very cool also everyone i listed is very nice and cool and doesn't start drama
