#PennedPossibilities 916.1 — Your MC wakes up as a wolf (or if a wolf / werewolf, a rabbit / wererabbit), what do they do, how do they react? #substitoot

For MC Bolt, this would be a disaster. She has an almost obsessive pride in the beauty and strength of her wings (she's an athletic day angel who loves to fly). Becoming a creature living in two-dimensions would crush her. She'd cry and rage, neither typical of her. When hunger forced her to hunt, she'd be horrified. People don't eat meat as far as she knows, and eating fish doesn't prepare her for looking at a living breathing mammal as food. This would be totally bad for her.

@floofpaldi I started rewatching Beastars and have a certain wolf and rabbit "friendship" on my mind. 😋

Stepping in with an #Substitoot question, since our adorable @floofpaldi is catching up on some rest.

#PennedPossibilities 897.1 - Which one of your characters is the loudest snorer and who is most likely to sleepwalk?

#PennedPossibilities #substitoot @sfwrtr Is your MC the type who prepares for parties, gathering treats and decorating elaborately days ahead, or calls together their besties at the spur of the moment, usually making it a pot luck? Why?

Freya has absolutely no interest in prestige, status, or popularity. So, her parties consist of a couple of friends and family and some sort of recreational concoction.

#PennedPossibilities 880⅞ #substitoot Is your MC the type who prepares for parties, gathering treats and decorating elaborately days ahead, or calls together their besties at the spur of the moment, usually making it a pot luck? Why?

The devil-girl was trained to host state dinners. Of course, after running away the only thing she plans is hosting her team of bodyguards at a restaurant! Usually after work. She pays for drinks even though she's too young to drink herself.

#Substitoot Do any of your characters have troubles with deadlines, like getting a term paper done before the last day, or buying holiday presents?

When Bella still lived with her mother in Ravenhold Castle, she often forgot the time when she was secretly studying magic, or making potions, or riding her horse. She then had to run to get to the meals with her mother in time, or to the lessons with her tutor. She was always a bit late and running.

#PennedPossibilities #Substitoot @sfwrtr Do any of your characters have troubles with deadlines, like getting a term paper done before the last day, or buying holiday presents?

In book 1 Freya has two jobs, a company, no supporting family, and also adopts four feral, magicka fuelled Rascals. So, she struggles to manage the custom alchemy work. Eventually, she starts to refuse to brew cosmetics and recreationals to order, so she can ensure to brew the medicinals.

#PennedPossibilities #Substitoot @AnnaSaultron Tell us something wholesome about any of your stories or characters.

When Dionysus learns about bacteria, he doesn't bathe or brush his teeth for a week in an attempt to befriend them. He gets so smelly, Pelliniana designs a flower petal adorned rain cloud stalker to follow him around all day in an effort to force her stinky big brother to bathe.

@virtulis With Mastodon v4.5 out now I want to say a huge thanks for #Substitoot - it was really awesome

 Ciekawy dodatek dla osób korzystających z #Mastodon-a w przeglądarce, głównie na mniejszych instancjach:

Wtyczka, która stara się "dociągnąć" tootki z innych serwerów w ramach przeglądanej dyskusji, albo profilu. Których inaczej nie byłoby widać.

Substitoot — a transparent toot fetcher

Mastodon often fails to show up-to-date context and information on posts from remote instances. This addon does that properly.

@NearerAndFarther there will be an indicator at the bottom of the screen when you open a specific post in the feed that shows the progress of resolving and loading the replies (if it's working).

That said, I see you are on Mastodon 4.4, which ships with this functionality server side (although it might be disabled by default still and may need to be enabled by your server admin). I believe 4.5 also has UI support for this. Still haven't gotten to actually updating myself.

Which is to say, #Substitoot will hopefully no longer be needed since the thing it was a kludgy substitoot for is finally implemented, so there won't be any new development on it, unless someone wants to take over. I'll try to make an "official" announcement in the repo/website/addon pages ... when I get to it :)
