Ok, so you've been isekai'd to the dnd world and may or may not die due to the class you've been assigned. Better question. Are you human? (spinner wheel of all dnd5e species)

Surprise! Tumblr just got turned into an epic fantasy RPG, just like [your favorite appropriate media franchise]. And the Tumblr RPG's plot needs to have all of its characters covered, in roles both large and small.

That means that you are assigned to a stereotypical RPG role inside our new fantasy world. Spin this wheel to find out what you are now doing for a living.

The fact that this is 80 fucking years ago but still just as relevant is terrifying.

Been having a lot of thoughts lately and none of them very good tbh. I've been dealing with my brain telling me that the majority of my friends don't like me. That I am too much of a hassle to deal with or I am not enough of what they want from someone. Most of my friends don't talk to me unless I reach out first or if they need something from me and I... I am so tired and because I had while growing up have to take care of myself and the adults around me... I just want to feel wanted and like I am worth taking care of when I'm sick. God I went through chemo even and my first priority was checking in on my friends/family and helping them all the while I was pumping poison through my body. I was used and abused by people I love during my treatment and most of them I still have in my life. Why can't I cut people out of my life? Why do I feel I need to keep these people in my life? Why do I still love them and want them to love me? I'm already questioning why I fought the cancer for this to be the future I get to witness. Why do I now have to wonder why I am not worth anything to most people unless I can provide them with something? I know I never learned to mask and I am awkward and neruodivergent and disabled. I know I can be difficult, but am I really that hard to like that I am only good to be around if I give something of worth? I am hurting so much right now and I feel like giving up. I feel so alone. I just want to know I am wanted because spite won't help me for much longer. Anyways sorry for the rant. I need to say this though. I am struggling so much right now and I don't know if I'm going to make it.

Okay, gardening stuff is done (plus it is way too hot outside for late October, thanks climate change), so, here's a quick tutorial on how to use the Navigator function in Libreoffice to organize your writing :)

Don't have Libreoffice yet?

Download the free, open-source writing processor here! :)

Once you've got Libre opened up, you'll probably be greeted with a generic New Document, like this:

To get the most of out taking notes and references, as well as just generally organizing your story (especially if you have it all in one master document), you'll want to use the Outline / Navigator function!

To get started, go up to the "View" drop down menu from the very top of the document (third option from the left) and in the drop-down menu, go all the way down and select "Navigator" (fourth from the bottom).

.Click it, and ta-dah! You now have your Navigator menu open.

You can re-size it by dragging the right-hand side to show more or less of it at any time, and I think you can move it to elsewhere in the document, but I use it where the default view is, so that's what I'll show here.

At first, it'll be empty:

But that is easy enough to fix!

To learn the ropes, type in a few example sentences in your document on seperate lines labeled 1 through 5.

As you type the first line labeled 1, highlight the sentence, and go to the Styles menu (shown below) and select "Heading 1"

Go head and type the other 4 sentences labeled 2, 3,4, & 5, changing each one's Style to the equivalent Heading (Heading 2, Heading 3, Heading 4, and Heading 5, accordingly)

(To do it more quickly with keyboard shortcuts, you can do CTRL + [Heading Number] to quickly change to a Heading, by doing CTRL+1, CTRL+2, etc)

until your document looks like this:

Notice how your Navigator now has different tiered categories, which you can collapse to hide the lower headings, which will nest together on the Navigator underneath higher level headings.

So, how is this useful?

If you have a document dedicated to Outlining your novel, you can now easily organize and find your information by sorting them by categories and subcategories, like below:

Here's what it looks like when most of the categories are collapsed:

And, of course, when you're writing your story all in one Master Document, being able to easily navigate to different chapters is essential!

Here's an example:

If you need to make notes for editing later, such as:

[Add a description of location here]

[Come up with a fantasy animal here]

[rewrite this scene so its more clear]

[Skipped this scene from writers block, come back and redo]

etc

You can simply add these notes in as Heading 3 (or one-tier lower according to how you're organizing your document) to make it show up as a sub-heading inside the chapter to easily find it again :D

Obviously, 99% of works are going to have Tables of Contents much less chaotic than this example lol:

i must remind every trans person on tumblr right now to always love other trans people. there is no such thing as a "bad type of trans person", even if one of those trans people from that other group says something you don't like (or even something genuinely terrible and hateful). you can hate those individual people, but do not take your anger out on the rest of the group. trans unity means we ALL stand together, not just the groups we deem "palatable".

stand up for trans women. stand up for trans men. stand up for agender people. stand up for nonbinary people. stand up for genderqueer people. stand up for intersex trans people. stand up for genderfuck people. stand up for all trans people. transmasc, transfem, transneutral, transmascfem, unlabeled, questioning, everyone.

and this post goes for every single one of those groups listed above and more. it applies to everyone, it means everyone.

love and fight for the groups more than you hate the individual.

don't fall into transphobia (of ANY kind) at the drop of a hat just because one person has a bad take on tumblr.

Batman, this is not a period!

Working in blender again... I did this within the past 3 hrs. I'm happy with it how it is for now. Back is hurting and I need sleep so figured it was a good test run/warm up to what I want to do. I'm a bit rusty on 3d modeling. Last class I had on it was in 2019 so uh it's been a hot minute. Anyways good night!

Last piece of fan art for today. It is 5 am and I must sleep
