like back on LJ I couldn't change my icons or the keywords ever because it would ruin every other time I'd used them

I've heard that on DW that isn't the case but I'm just wondering?

If you use the same keywords it won't

but if you want to like, use new icons temporarily and then switch back to the old ones it'll botch everything?

And with changing keywords there's a little box to check under the field that will keep your icon the same

And yes sadly

augh goddammit

that means if I ever want to humanize 5 for a loss I have to get a paid account :T

I was about to draw icons and everything but now idk if I can ever do it

I guess if like... ok if your paid account expires, does it like revert all the icons to your default?

or does it leave them alone? on LJ when my paid account expired it like cut back down to 15 icons and any icon that wasn't one of those 15 got turned into the default

sorry for all the questions :<

if you wanted a human loss, you can always make another account

we are pretty cool with that, so long as you let us know the account name you're using so we can let it into the comunities

then you wouldn't have to worry about icons at all :3

... that's true. I could afford to get a paid account just like once in order to do the event but I don't want my icons that I used during the loss to get reverted back to something else

after my paid account runs out

/nod nod. plenty of people have used free accounts in the past for this sort of thing. I know I have when Crowley had his bodyswap loss

Okay, I'll probably do that then when I decide to do it, thanks for the idea :>

Yeah TF just said what I was going to suggest as DW is similar to LJ in that you get just 15 icons when you paid expires (they all stay on posts though until you delete them)

It's typically the last 14 uploaded + your default though so you would probably end up with your loss icons anyway.

Then I'd lose all his other icons though, that'd be even worse lol

I'll just make a new account so I don't have to keep throwing money at DW forever to keep my icons

If you use the exact same keywords it sometimes works fine. When I changed Sunny's icons for Holly Peaks and back they fixed themselves.

but if I did that wouldn't the icons change back to the old ones on all the loss posts?

Only if the loss icons had all the same keywords. If there isn't an icon with the same keywords it goes back to the default.

Hmmm... it doesn't seem like there's a way to change your icons and then change them back without your old posts getting mucked up. unless I'm hearing something wrong

Yeah no matter what something's going to change. /shrugs. Personally I'm not bothered by loss posts not having the loss icons after it's over but that's just me.

I wish I wasn't bothered by that but I kind of am xD in case I ever go back to look at them again or somebody else does. So I'm probably gonna do what TF suggested and make an alt account

thanks for the help though

You're welcome.
