was looking for google docs alternatives (and found a couple, yippeeeee) but one of the apps that came up was a fkn ai novel generator

“90k word novel in seconds!” built off the shredded corpses of the graft that came before I guess

with my whole heart, fuck off x

Gonna start making another DPXDC writing challenge where I’ll make a bingo card generation that contains super popular tropes in the fandom.

The goal is to not write said tropes. Bingo of tropes to avoid and even more of a bonus if you do a blackout board on the tropes you didn’t do.

Reply with the most common DPxDC tropes ya can think of so I can add them to the Blackout Bingo List :)

My absolute favorite thing about your blog, even more favorite that Vachete, is the care and interest you put into each response. Be it an ask or an art piece, you always eloquently break down each individual aspect and comment on them. It always makes me smile.

I combined footage from my Detektiv Conan Blu-ray with audio from my Case Closed FUNimation DVD and made an HD English dub clip compilation for Episodes 57-58, "The Holmes Freak Murder Case."

This might be my age showing, but I really wish we’d lose the “kill yourself”/“we have to have them killed” response to artists who just don’t appeal to the individual. It is…unpleasant to keep staggering across. I get it, you don’t want to see that person anymore, but like. Dude. That is a disproportionate reaction to art you don’t like.

A little bit of a rematch and my opinion on why you never see Mai's six(seven) shooter again.

Read from left to right.

While I do think there is a small problem with people not engaging with or sharing creative work/fan work on here (or other sites that don't run on algorithm like AO3), I don't think the answer is to be ridiculous about it either.

A much better way to address it is leading by example: reblog/share and add positive comments yourself! People will catch on that it's cool, that it's okay and they have nothing to be anxious about, and start doing it too.

Wagging fingers or complaining tends to do very little. Thankfully, people emulating those they admire is a powerful thing. You can simply model behavior you want to see and some people may start catching on.

But it won't get any better if you don't do your part too. So don't worry so much about others. Focus on what you're doing and how you engage with creative works and fandom. Be a positive force yourself and the rest will follow.

something so sort of darkfic but super hot about how McLaren are a youth team and they "snapped up" Lando before anyone else could and if memory serves signed a private agreement with Oscar months? before Alpine made their unauthorized announcement

au where Lando and Oscar are considered similar to vestal virgins in formula 1 and therefore bidding for them was particularly intense. Lando was acquired as young as possible and Carlos Sainz Vázquez de Castro was initially brought in to chaperone him during the season. obv he was immediately suspected of threatening Lando's purity and was betrothed to Prince Charles Percival of Monaco as compensation for being asked to leave McLaren. Daniel Ricciardo of Messina replaced him and was an excellent companion and chaperone for Lando. but he carried a torch for another and eventually longed to leave.

and Oscar was almost overlooked because vestals were no longer typically found in Australia. but because Mark Webber was pontifex maximus at the time he pointed out Oscar's purity and devotion which made McLaren rush to acquire him and started an internal war with Alpine.

I'm running out of vague historical/religious facts but something about McLaren having not just one vestal virgin but two meant that they could light the fire of Vesta and return the team to glory. and wherever Lando and Oscar go they stick close together and the other teams can't help but admit that there's something otherworldly/slightly strange about them.

October 2024 Update

Heyo it's been a while! Hope folks here are doing well. I haven't been making a lot of stuff recently, but I've made some good progress with my site and finally got RSS feeds working!! (More on that below.) There's definitely visual improvements it needs but it should still be pretty decent to navigate around the site! It's more important that I get my art and details on there while uh... social media sites are still functioning.

(I did download an archive of this blog, just in case. Although maybe it's easier to use that instead of the website's archive. Ah well.)

I'm still posting primarily on pillowfort, then my site, and then bluesky. I'm not super into bsky but it fills the role I used for twitter for updates. And even though pifo's funding goals has been hit pretty consistently this year, the funds it has is currently another 3 months (Jan 2025). For each month it hits, the longer it can go on, and it at least has a buffer and is transparent about finances. This why I'm still focusing on my site, so I'll another place to store my work.

On to more details!

Website

I've got RSS Feeds! Got different feeds for All Updates, Art Only and Site Only. You can find links to them on the home page and the footer of each page, but RSS feed readers should be able to detect them anyways. Hoping to have Writing Only and Crochet Only one day when I a) have more than one batch of Writing and b) have a crochet section!

As above, there is a Writing section! Currently, 3 are from my crochet posts on pillowfort and one has only been posted on my site and pillowfort since it's OC focused (Null, Chisa and a bit of Father)

Artworks have a link to Related Series/AUs. They're like the Master Posts I have here for stuff like Composer Neku AU

New Artwork is added some time after being posted to pillowfort and old artwork is still being added in small chunks. Sometimes alternate versions are added that weren't posted on Tumblr. Looking back on older pieces make them not feel as incomplete as they did before

This has been around for a while but on each artwork page I have a "Posted On" section that will list any active social media site and a link to the actual post that I made with the artwork. So while the site doesn't have a guestbook (one day??) if it's posted on another social media site you're on, you can like/reblog/comment/whatever from those links! The cohost ones are there but I might remove them later since I think cohost should be in read only mode now...?

Other Stuff

I haven't been drawing as much but it's been mostly OC stuff. I have WIP for TWEWY stuff cause I feel a still little aimless at the moment for making art or I run out of energy and motivation to finish pieces more quickly than usual. Doing site work is definitely taking away from that, but that's just how it is!

Timelapses should be returning! A new computer means I can actually record timelapses from start to finish for a piece, instead of recording them in batches and stitching them together later. The first timelapse in a while is on Youtube featuring Null!

I think that's pretty much it. I did take a break from streaming on Twitch but I'm pretty much back to weekly streams. I did a test crochet stream last week and finished making a little jellyfish so I'll be doing more of those too. Since the last post, I've made a little gray cat and a Null jellyfish.
