It is done (enough)!

I would hype it up more but this is really really simple. It randomly generates a set of symbols, colors, and a word, and then the expected thing to do with those is you draw some sort of character based off the result you get. So it's just an art challenge toy thingy.

There are also some practical features like you can lock parts of the result in place to rerandomize the rest, or hide parts of the generation you don't care about (like if you want to pick your own colors or hate the words being there)

You can try it out over on itch.io!

It should run in browser, but there's also a downloadable version for Windows if you want to use it offline. (No mac/linux versions for now, because I don't have appropriate computers to test those on and I...don't want to deal with mac's developer accounts or whatever their problem is...)

Here's something I made from one of the results I got for the sake of example:

(It's a bit of a rushed drawing sorry I just wanted to get the actual generator out there)

I hope everyone has fun with it :]

anyway point is the straight up isreali government sent me an ad for their bible podcast and of course it was a bunch of slideshows of ai images

I was already having a bad week, trying to free myself from my financially abusive father, just trying to be 21 and allowed,

not to mention how youtube keeps giving me conservative propaganda ads- unskippable even, cause youtube has officially crossed that line for me, not to mention how goddamn hard various websites are trying to get me to buy their ai programs even though i was already considering their sites and now absolutely will not, not to mention my fucking college making one of those ai sites a requirement and the entire critical thinking required course being just ranting about ai and only one teacher and dropping out because mandatory and

A quick tip for writers out there, who use Microsoft Words:

Change the background colour of the pages to a mint green shade.

It is said that green is a calming colour, however, the main reason why I like this, is because I can write for a much longer period of time now, as a white background I used before made my eyes dry and exhausted after just a few hours of working.

It is basically much more soft and careful to the eyes. I can’t precisely explain why that is. I think it’s that by making a pinch softer contrast of the text and the background, your eyes does not get exposed to as much light.

Just make sure to not make the background too dark, or else your eyes will get exhausted do to over-fixating the lack of contrast between text and background.

And maybe you find a nice pastel/light background shade that fits you; give it a try.

Different things work out and fits for different people. And I just felt like sharing this.

Here’s the shade numbers I used to get my preferred colour:

Thanks for reading.

Ya girl is leaving her imgflip era, I repeat, she's leaving her imgflip era! And while she's at it she's probably going to finally learn video editing, which she's been putting off for years!

Man I WISH

There's a story here but one time someone at my b-day (like, an important teen one) went to the effort to surprise me with my worst food (autistic) while totally hidden in these absolutely heavenly looking safe foods! I felt loved and understood for the first time and it was a trap *screaming crying emoji*

But I didn't even get to the physical part because my fucking mother stopped me before I even began and made me apologize for. Raising my voice? Not thanking the person for going to the effort? Except the first thing I said was "I appreciate the effort, must've taken hours, but *expressions of negative why*?" She made me fucking apologize and I hadn't even been allowed to get physical yet!

I still think that person deserved to be punched. Funnily enough they left the party right after dropping things off. afaik. Also every b-day every year since I was lonely because people stopped showing up ig. So. I desire the ability to take vengeance.

Heyy guys? Not sure if anyone's still here... uh, last couple days were complicated.

It wasn't normal issues like school, college or work or like a funeral or anything, no it was AO3 author level shenanigans.

I uh, was homeless for like a day (had enough of home), tried to evade the corrupt police for a while, made some friends (might have been predators but I'd like to hope not), tried to enjoy escapism in between (including the like... 4? days before being forced to leave) but external forces killing my vibe every fricking time. I was planning on making a fucking tier list of evil I experienced daily on a scale of the degree of immorality, and THEN I found out that my parents were like the second-to-worst tier, which is ALSO by my definition irredeemable?

Every particularly bold individual with toxic parents had that moment where they realized their parents were irredeemable. I had two of those IN A ROW and I was literally just trying to enjoy a little scrap of life dawg *emoji button isn't working. just like my traumatized and ruined brain. and reality in general-* I'll stop here but oh my god I literally cannot enjoy shit without my housemates bursting in, fucking shit up, and then scapegoating me.

So the point is I WANTED to answer this, but I had other things to think about! Between escapism, fake safe spaces, human beings and nature that just Can't let me have One good day, and being literally homeless but by choice and then Having to go back, currently in danger but no escape for a bit... Yeah my priorities were not ideal heh

That's my explanation for now! Moral of the story... I now have several Magnus Archives and Hatchetfield characters on my kin list and that's Not Great I'm pretty sure. As well as some Fun new ocs to give the happy ending I wish I had! Ask me about Robin and Jay sometime or whatever my Centaurworld But Human characters end up being called. I ove them already.

Today I discovered the Lords In Black while still on a Magnus Archives hyperfix, after knowing very very little about Starkid cinematic universe lore, and I wish to converse with someone about things related!

I'm hoping this reaches one of my mutuals because it's kind-of a recent development and the fun is fresh. And I don't have friends who like Starkid's works lmao.

Ok I've been holding this back for years because I really don't wanna make the issue about white people but I, literally have never seen anyone say this and I personally need it to be said otherwise I'll go actually mad (victim of current/constant gaslighting speaking). World's Smallest Violin core if you know.

... I have more important things to say right now. I'll come back to this next time I see COTL update art on my dash because as of a week ago I can finally relate to The Lamb but in a Really Bad/sad way. I swear if I can't physically play the game anymore because of trauma I am going to be SO MAD because thats like the 5th comfort item this week that's been taken away from me and I can't have peeople assuming I dislike the game I DO I really really do it's just- arghhhh!?
