Todd-
Photos: He rarely posts photos, but they're always either scenic places he sees when he takes the time to leave the city, or group photos with friends on a particularly fun day. The occasional candid of Viola. No pictures of just himself (he would rather die then take an un-ironic selfie).
Videos: Videos of friends doing funny things.
Story: Always active, usually just boring stuff he does throughout the day. A lot of sheep and random videos of unsuspecting friends.
Favorite Post: A candid that he got of Viola smiling while they're on a walk in the woods.Viola-
Photos: Tries to keep it aesthetically pleasing. Scenic shots, pictures of herself posing with friends, but usually with Todd (because he won't post any of himself and the world needs to see how amazing he is). Her oldest post is a picture of herself with her parents, and she hasn't posted anything else about her life in space.
Videos: Rarely posts videos, but she sings.
Story: Sometimes active, posts funny memories from the day.
Favorite Post: A candid of Todd sitting by a creek from that same walk.Davy-
Photos: Old pictures of home, some of himself as policeman of Prentisstown, the occasional selfie of himself looking happy while someone is being punished behind him. Probably would post about Todd is if he wasn't afraid of what Todd would think.
Videos: People doing stupid things for laughs.
Story: The same as his regular posts, angry selfies captioned with how bored he is.
Favorite Post: The one picture he got of himself standing with his father, looking professional.Mayor Prentiss-

Story: No story.
Favorite Post: Jane smiling with her arms out in the "sea of thangs".Lee-
Photos: Group pictures with friends, especially the guy friends he makes that are more than happy to help with his sight, and girl friends that are nice to him for no reason (they think he's cute and he's super open and nice to them). Old pictures with his mother and sister. Mostly pictures of other people/things, but a few ironic selfies. Maybe a handful of unironic ones too.
Videos: Other people take his videos for him, usually it's random stuff like throwing trash into bins from a long distance and jumping around like it's something impressive.
Story: Always active, usually short videos of places he is and people he's hanging out with. He usually gets in a joke about how great the view is (and then shows his face, putting emphasis around the cloth wrapped where his eyes used to be).
