I decided quite a while ago that I'm gonna give my OCs flip phones, slide phones, etc rather than modern smartphones. First reason is cause i like these phones more than "the slab" and honestly if my phone ever breaks to the point I need a new one I might just get a flip phone myself. Second of all I think it's a lot easier to characterize using phones that aren't "the slab" like you gotta sit and think what kind of phone would this character have would they have a pink flip phone with charms? or a blackberry with the full keyboard? or a phone you turn on its slide and pop out a keyboard? or one of those fucking phones where you rotate the upper part?

What kind of characterization is there with modern smartphones? Phone cases and whatever those things are called pop sockets?? I don't think every character having the same rectangle with a different pattern is as characterizing, nevermind i forget phone cases exist cause I dont use them because they make my phone uncomfortable to use.

So anyways that's why I had phones specifically flip phones as one of the objects for this.
