Senior Week
First of all, thanks for coming to Chat event in communityweek! We asked seniors some questions and there you can read answers. And there forum.deviantart.com/devart/ge… you can ask seniors about everything, also seniors CAN answer!
This is a part I!
MiyuDimon asks: "What does it feel like, to check your messages and see that in your box. That you got seniority? To me I think that moment when you know, would be a proud moment, a crying moment. But I am curious as to what others felt like."
justMANGO: "Our inboxes just get spammed" Well I actually more excited about getting that than getting a DD. I spent the next 15 mins after I discovered my seniority running around the house like a mad person.
cinyu: "As I became a senior I didn't actually got a message. It was just a moment "Oh" new seniors annouced! OH MY NAME IS ON IT! WHAT MY NAME IS ON IT?!" So a big surprise and I jumped so much. xD And then reading the congrats messages.... I was grinning all day to be a part of the old people."
welfareleech : "Yeah, I got me seniorship on the same day as AshleyxBrooke over there. No one sent me a message."
UszatyArbuz asks:"Is there a minimum age of account that deviant's account has to be to become a senior?"
fourteenthstar said: "I wouldn't give Seniority to anyone with only 3 months on the site, just to be clear. At this point in time, I'd be looking for 2 years at least."
UszatyArbuz asks: "Does he (senior) REALLY needs to do all the stuff like going on chats, giving critiques or suggesting DD? Even if ex. he really don't like chatrooms or don't believe in DDs or can't write a good critique and doesnt like this feature?"
justMANGO: "I didn't frequent the chatrooms before I became a senior."
Astralseed: "Seniors have no obligations"
JenFruzz: "Seniors have been given the medal for their artwork alone as well as their contributions."
DutchConnaisseur asks: "You all live in rest homes?"
JenFruzz: "Yes, they keep me there all week but let me get fresh air on the weekends"
AshleyxBrooke: "I've never heard them call rest homes"
phoenixleo: "I do!"
momopurin asks: "what do seniors do?"
justMANGO: "Seniors do old people stuff. We sit on the balcony in warm sunlight and knit little sweaters for our grandchildren."
JenFruzz: "lol but to be serious, I do all of the same things I did before I received seniority. If anything, I participate even more in the community than I did "
AdorkaStock: "seniors probably mostly do whatever they were doing before they became seniors haha :'D"
UmbraCrux asks: "What colleges did they go to, and what for? Are they happy with where they've ended up in relation to their decisions?"
JenFruzz: "I went to a state university and have a B.S. in Environmental Geosciences... So absolutely NOTHING to do with art."
Riemea: "I'm still at university (Japanese Studies Major), but I'm currently doing a gap year"
justMANGO: "I went to University of Toronto, did a BA in philosophy and history of science. Now I'm in law school and I hate it."
ARTificialphanTOM asks: "Do you get discounts on llamas?"
JenFruzz: "Llamas are free! "
Astralseed: "only from the local llama breeders"
PlasticusForkus asks: "What is their preferred mix ratio of blue, yellow and red super sparkle dust? I just can't seem to get the right consistency..."
JenFruzz: "Mostly blue and red so I can have PURPLE sparkle dust."
Frankybean asks: "HOW'D THEY GET SO OLLLLLDDDDD?"
cinyu: "We aged."
justMANGO: "You let time wash you over."
JenFruzz: "An odd question but a legit question in disguise haha"
phoenixleo: "Everyone gets old. "
welfareleech: "I was personally born old."
imnotsana asks: "What are the most cliche comments/questions you've heard as a senior? (ex: HOW DID U BECUM A SENIOR IF UR NOT 50?) "
phoenixleo: "See the previous question for answer"
JenFruzz: "Your account must be really old"
TheGalleryOfEve: "Ohhh the most cliche comment is "Ooohhh you have to be sweet to become a senior, right?"
imnotsana asks: "Why do YOU think you got the seniority? (ex: I SLEPT WIF trollface & WOEK UP WIF A TICK) omg remember when they used to be ticks? good ol' days..."
welfareleech: "Obviously from all my hard work in the community."
Astralseed: "I got it because I'm awesome "
TheGalleryOfEve: "I got my seniority because they wanted to get rid of me, so they "retired" me"
RezaBisuto: "lolly was drunk. that's how."
phoenixleo asks: "How many pillows do seniors use when sleeping? What about 'side pillows'?"
Astralseed: "None"
justMANGO: "2. I have 2"
cinyu: "I think I use 6."
AdorkaStock: "I use one for my head and one between my knees...."
phoenixleo: "I had three, but thenit was two..but then one became bloody..so 3"
JenFruzz: "I like body pillows"
TheGalleryOfEve: "Ohhh my I actually do use more than one ... I hug one "
