This isn't silly at all! Basically, I call lore anything I write about Av's story! Whether that be a solo or even a development with another character (like Av and Mikey's relationship is considered lore).

That's one way!

Another way is RP'ing with some trusted partners!

For example, Colin, Scout and I all RP together to build our lore (Eg. Emmi's relationships with half-humans reflected in hers w/ Col and Scout, Scout balancing insecurities that she hides from Col and Emmi, and Col managing life as a werewolf while also trying to tell a stubbornly oblivious Emmi he loves her )

same, my school blocked all music websites like spotify

So, the reason they block all those, as annoying and infuriating as it may be, is to reduce your distractions and to try and keep your attention on your school work and on your teacher (and their lesson).

So like, I remember getting a chromebook in 2017, the first year I mainstreamed, and I was excited and was able to pretty much have unrestricted access. Over the years though, about maybe 80% of the sites became blocked and if the teacher deemed a specific site necessary, they'd reach out to IT and IT would unlock the site for that class period.

(well, that isn't the only reason some sites are blocked, others are due to the content that may be displayed on their sites that may not be appropriate for school environments)

Kinda the opposite of my school (though your parenthesis are true about mine) honestly since I go to a private school that doesn't let us have our phones out or our headphones out unless we're doing a lesson. We can't even have our computers open during most classes unless we're doing school work so we aren't distracted. There's some other stuff that goes into it too, but it's a long story.
