The watercooler: a place to chat

[miramiee]

Ahhh this weekend I'm traveling to Washington DC by train from NYC and I don't have any idea what to see/do/eat there. I have to admit, I'm a little nervous-- this is the first time I'm traveling anywhere without my parents and I'll be far away from home with a friend for 2 nights. Any traveling tips? Any notable places in DC to see? I really want this trip to be memorable haha.

i'm finally steping out and opening commission but i'm nervous as heck about everything

Hi, and welcome to Tapas!
Yup, it must be because your post was too short. I hope you will enjoy your time here. ^^

[GravityBreakCat]

Thank you. But no, it was pretty long. Maybe it's because I included too many links. I thought it would be helpful to make sure I got all relevant links (for anyone interested in the comic) included.

But I don't know if this was it. I really wish they would explain it to me, or I'll be forever anxious about posting here. >.<

[DiegoPalacios]

Hi GravityBreakCat!. Make sure you only give the links that are relevant to the topic.

For example, in a topic about sharing your comic, only share the link to your comic, the links to your twitter, instagram, etc... would not be relevant to the topic at hand.

hope this helps!

[GravityBreakCat]

I did! But I shared the link to my comic on Tapas, and to the website for the comic (because i don't know which people will prefer to read), and to my Patreon (where once can get access to more comic pages).

[DiegoPalacios]

Here in Tapas people usually prefer the Tapas link. (people from Tapas are the ones with higher chances of subscribing to your comic here)

If you are promoting in other sites i would recommend you the link to your website for the same reasons explained above.

In that case the Patreon link is not relevant to the topic. You can share your patreon links in other parts or if the topic specifically encourages sharing your Patreon link.

[GravityBreakCat]

I see. Then I suppose I should not share my website again. One question though, does Tapas have an option for including transscripts to comic pages? On my website I have transscripts for all the pages, as it makes the comic more accessible for people with visual processing issues.

You mean something like the texts in the red rectangle?

I guess you could add one in the bottom of an update where some people would put a description of the page.

@GravityBreakCat - I would think it probably has more to do with a new account posting offsite links. A way to weed out potential advertising spam and bots.

I can see your post in the intro topic just fine though, all links included, so everything seems fine now.

Welcome to Tapas, by the way!

My friend made me a pin!!

[jpnakashima]

Future best seller in comic cons all over the country! haha

So cool

[dawgofdawgness]

Man my math teacher has an ASMR voice. I nearly passed out today... :T he also looks like a turtle

[DiegoPalacios]

Lol, it can happen. Sometimes teachers have an odd voice, odd way of speaking or a verbal tick.

An english teacher i had, finished 90% of her sentences saying "Niah" or "You know"

But the case that stood out the most was a teacher who pronounced the letter "S" and "L" too much. He speaks "like a stereotypically gay snake", for a lack of a better term.

[dawgofdawgness]

Aw man, that’s actually kind of funny. But a little distracting when your teacher sounds like a gay snake LOL

On a side note, today was the second day of school and someone stole my folder.
Filled with my assignments.
And classwork.
And finished homework.

If you’re gonna be a robber can you at LEAST leave my papers stacked neatly on the floor? Jeez, the audacity!!!

[VibrantFox]

i've never heard of someone stealing a folder but honestly that's terrible

makes me think of the kids who'd swipe our bags in middle school just to dump the contents and flip them inside out

[dawgofdawgness]

WHAT that's a thing? That's straight up bullying, that sucks. Middle schoolers are the worst.

really?, that sucks!

Who the hell actually steals homework??????

I guess you can`t leave your stuff unnatended anymore

Hope you recover your folder soon. If you need to talk about anything, count on me.

when i was in school, if someone tried doing that to me, i "flipped them inside out". (Luckilly, i had a great reputation with my teachers and they understood that i never started the conflicts.)

While i don`t like starting fights, i think self defense is a legitimate right.
