THE DO'S AND DON'T'S OF PARODY TWITTER BY PIKACHU

Some very basic tips aimed at small parodies to teach them how to improve
USE TEXT STROKES

Whenever I see people not use outlines or strokes on their text it can make it difficult to read when mixed with a background

Adding them can improve your edits drastically and they are simple to do
DON'T USE UNNECESSARY CHARACTERS

This is a big one, I know there are a lot of characters you want to parody as but for the love of God don't shove them all into the one account, it is very cringe if I am being honest

If you want multiple characters, have them be similar or-
Tied together and for most cases any more than 4 characters is too much
DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE IN CHARACTER

If your character isn't very kind and you want to portray that, don't be rude to everyone. Even if you don't mean it, it isn't nice

Instead have your character be evil in fun ways, Comically evil, Goofy, Edgy but not too edgy
Same goes for out of character, don't be an asshole
HAVE MULTIPLE PNGS

Using the same 1-2 pictures of your character usually doesn't work well

Instead, look online for pictures of your character and cut them out to make them pngs, or use pre-made ones on things like Spriters resource, @/DokkanAssets, etc
If your character doesn't appear in a lot of Media then maybe you should reconsider them if you want to do big arcs and such
TRY TO BE IN CHARACTER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

I am guilty of this one

Don't always be out of character to the point where you are just a main, it really isn't very interesting

Instead have a good balance of in and out of character tweets, it is a sign of a good account
That is all for now
