Boop PSA, for Mobile Users:

To Boop - either tap the boop button next to someone's name or go to their blog and tap the cat paw icon

To Super Boop - go to someone's blog and hold the cat paw icon until it spins once, then let go

To Evil Boop - go to someone's blog and hold the cat paw icon until it spins twice, then let go

Can't Boop - either you or the person you're trying to Boop hasn't opted in yet

To Opt In - go to your feed and you'll see the boop-o-meter and the option to opt in

I'll update this when I know how to get certain badges and such.

UPDATE:

I'm not sure what triggers it, but if you keep booping enough, you'll get a "you high-fived the cat"

After that, go to your notifications tab and you'll find a notification that says "the cat booped you back"

Tap the "Meow :3" on that notification

Next, you'll get a notification from yourself and that mentions a "boop laundering scheme" and then gives you the option to Boop yourself.

UPDATE 2

to High Five the Cat, tap the paw animation that appears after you boop someone.

Also; Super Boops and Evil Boops both only count as 1 boop for your boop-o-meter, despite the increased number of paw animations.

But, that can be useful if you're having a hard time tapping the paw animation before it disappears...

- A regular boop only has 1 paw animation that comes out of a random side

- A super boop has 2 paw animations that come out of parallel sides

- An evil boop has 4 paw animations, one for each side

Not useful really, but interesting:

The paw animation changes every 10 Boops. One is a ghost paw, one is a skeleton paw, and one is a mummy paw.

Missing Information

I am currently unsure of:

- How to get "LOL" on the boop-o-meter

- How to get "OMG" on the boop-o-meter

- How to get "MAX" for sent Boops on the boop-o-meter

- What triggers the Color Change of the boop-o-meter

I will update with more info once I know more and confirm the information as best I can.

You always wanted to be a Healer. Unfortunately, your dad was an Necromancer and your mother a Demon Summoner. So your healing was a bit… unconventional to say the least.

While covered in blood, in the morgue of a hospital, you're working on the latest patient the regular doctors couldn't save.

"We'd do anything to have them back!" The patient's family had cried upon being told the news. The doctor made sure they meant what they said, and the patient was wheeled down to your 'office.'

"I said you will live, goddamnit!" You say as you draw a pentagram on the floor with the patient's blood. A few summoning words in Latin fall past your lips as the pentagram glows with hellfire. Two dozen or so tiny little demons appear from the hellfire, rushing towards your patient and consuming their illness in exchange for giving them back some life.

You dismiss the demons and clean up your space. After a quick change of clothes, you awaken your now-living patient. A brief explanation later, sans the morbid details, you walk the patient out to reunite him with his family. As you walk down the hallway, you see a pair of EMTs hurriedly rush past, pushing what appears to be a fatal trauma patient towards your 'office.'

With a sigh, you wave over a nurse to bring the revived patient to their family. A small bow goodbye, and you're running down the hall after the EMTs. Your job is never done, but it feels so good to help people in this way... Even if your soul is eternally damned for it.

if you’re offline or away and i message you something (like a link to a meme or a picture or w/e) honestly just assume that i’m just leaving it there for when you get back and not expecting you to answer straight away. i don’t need you to respond with “hey, sorry, i wasn’t at the computer!” or anything. i was leaving u a gift for later.

This also applies if you’re online and just don’t want to or have the energy to deal with humans in the moment. Just because we have the ability to reply in real time does not mean we have the obligation.

im like a cat i drag the posts to ur doorstep and if ur not there it’s ok, the post will be on ur porch for later
