(this is what the above is supposed to do)

the actual original inspurration fur this was to let the TF machine post "as itself". but i figured i might as well

have you ever read how pluraldawn works btw? that shit's cursed as fuck and i kinda love it

@aescling I'm not any of you

@The_T hi not any of you i'm cat

@aescling (but no yeah, I do use it. Cuz of @onfy)

@The_T .... oh. i only just understood why that was supposed to mean you do use it,

@aescling yeah, double negatives or whatever else was going on there, are hard

@aescling No; tell me?

@vaporeon_ the user encodes metadata about themself in the avatar (exa has purrovided tooling to make this relatively easy), which magically only has a negligible purrceptual effect on what the avatar looks like. exa explains the details at https://exa.y2k.diy/garden/pluraldawn/

@vaporeon_ so imagine you have a daily tf from a cast of, like, 15 pokémon or so, and a unique avatar fur each…

@aescling So there are distortions in your Sprigatito Yawn profile pic, to implement this? I don't see them...

@vaporeon_ yup

@aescling pluralDawn
