it started as a joke, he didnt think anyone would really watch

but followers and viewers SKYROCKETED so fast, he was kinda overwhelmed at first

mostly streams LoL, but loves switching between diff games throught the stream (OVW, apex, valorant, fortnite)

but for some reason, he hates COD. HATES IT. if chat even mentions it he screams

he gets banned regularly for "random shit" aka trying to beef with the 12 year old's in chat, accidentally smoking on cam, etc

has absolutely no filter, just plays the game the same way he would if he were alone, which gives him one hell of a reputation online

chat goes WILD when he ties his hair back, cause usually its in his face

does a lot of 12-24 hour streams bc he cant sleep

streams at the most random and inconvenient times, like 4pm or 3am.

that being said he has no set schedule. he usually just hops online whenever.

loves bantering with chat, he thinks its so funny

"blueflame says... "this man needs chapstick lolz"

"well fuck you blueflame, you need a loving family and some bitches, but i guess both of us are fucked, hm?"

went through a huge minecraft phase and ended up creating a small cult following from it

which he abhors. like fucking hates it bc of all the drama in the minecraft community-he doesn't like to be associated with them.

calls his fans rats/bugs/etc.

goes on long-ass adhd rambles about random shit a LOT

"chat, chat watch this, gonna get this fucker"

*dies*

"chat. i am going to scream."

this man has 0 social awareness or media etiquette

like he's actually disgusting on stream it can be a hard watch at times. especially if he's eating cause he doesnt gaf about being "polite"

listens to a lot of hyperpop/metal/game osts in the background but has gotten in trouble for copyright lol

does dumbass dances in his chair if he wins a round

when everyone realized he wore gloves to game, he got sent a BUNCH of new ones, with different patterns and materials (he shows them all off) (his fav ones are the creeper-themed ones tho :3)

has "horror nights" where he'll stay up and play shit like fnaf, slender, closing shift, and other indie horror games

he played facade once but immediately removed the game from his pc (very dramatically) after trip denied his request to "kiss it sloppy style".

chat regularly begs him to play roblox but he always ignores it

even though he HAS it downloaded.

"chat what the fuck is skibidi ohio"

always drinking some form of energy drink no matter what time it is

"someone in chat said im cute. go touch grass"

has a discord server that he does in fact own and mod. but only lets certain people join (he does have a tier system after a while)

I am currently writing the third instalment in my children's books series, 'Essentia Forest'. It is for 3 to 9 year olds, though can be enjoyed by families of all ages. Through a cast of adorable forest animals (& dragons!) this series explores queer experiences in a relatable, empathetic, and fun way for children and parents to connect with. While it's predominantly written for queer families, it can be read & enjoyed by families of all sorts!

Book One introduces us to the little dragon. Unable to find the dragon's parents after he hatches from his egg, the birds, bats, bugs, and all the other animals in the forest decide to work together and raise the little dragon themselves!

But there's just one thing: the little dragon doesn't know his own name.

The other animals try to help, but only a dragon can name another dragon. But with no other dragons in the forest, the little dragon has to choose his own name.

Suddenly, the little dragon has a very big decision to make!

This is a story of self-identity, self-acceptance and finding where you belong... and the importance of making mistakes along the way. Book One, What's your name, little dragon? explores what it means to question your own identity and the struggle of finding a place for yourself when you're the only one of you in the whole world. While it's aimed at queer families, with the all-too-familiar question queers ask ourselves: 'what am I?', families of all sorts can relate to the adjacent question posed in this book: 'who am I?'

Book Two has us meeting Brock, who is a very strange bat. Bats are supposed to sleep during the day, and fly at night. But Brock wants to fly during the day, and sleep at night. None of the other bats understand, and none of them want to join in with him, because it just isn't what bats do. Brock asks his friend the little dragon for help, because the little dragon flies during the day and at night. Together, the two of them explore how the forest changes in the winter days.

But when Brock's family start to notice that there's something different about Brock, the little bat learns a very hard lesson: sometimes even when you get everything you want, it can still make you sad. Especially when it makes you very different from everybody who you used to be the same as.

Book Two, The bat who loves the Sun, explores friendship and non-traditional family dynamics. It follows Brock as he navigates the new world of the daytime with his friend, as they learn what it means to do what feels right for yourself, even when others don't agree or understand. This book examines how much difference a support system and being surrounded by positive friends can make when you're taking a risk. Standing out from the crowd, self-doubt, honesty versus curiosity and kindness, and conformity are all themes that the bats have to confront.

While Book One looked at the importance of self-identity, which can be interpreted as the queer experience of figuring out what / who you are, Book Two deals with struggles more akin to physical transition. Whether this is the transgender ftm experience of cutting your hair, wearing masculine clothes, and not looking "pretty" anymore, or the experience of cis gay people when they change how they dress and present themselves around their hetero family and friends, Book Two explores what it means to know that you're different from everyone else, and to take pride in standing out.

Book Three, 'The Biggest Raccoon' is going to deal with issues closely related to social transition, and I'd like for it to have parts which are from an MtF perspective. The protagonist is introduced to us as a bear, who just doesn't feel she's suited to being one - she identifies much more with the raccoons. The bears mock her, but she decides to take the plunge and 'become' a raccoon. The other raccoons are slightly weirded out by her at first, but they end up getting used to her being there. Even though she's intimidated, she's still excited about getting to be treated like all the other raccoons. But as she tries to fit in with them, she realises that no matter what she does - whether she rolls in dirt and berries to make her fur the same colour as theirs, whether she learns to eat with her paws the same way as they do, whether she learns to walk and climb the way they do, she still isn't the same as them. This makes her feel very self conscious: her paws are too big, she's too hairy, her roar is too loud, her eating is too messy, her teeth are too big, her claws are too sharp, and no matter what she tries, she doesn't feel good enough.

When the other raccoons notice this, some of them mock her for it, but others try their best to reassure her that differences on the outside don't matter: what matters is how much of a raccoon she is on the inside.

I know what this is like from an FtM perspective, but not an MtF one, and I'd like your help with that. All of Book Three is currently a draft, and is open to being altered. Reblog / comment, or DM me with things which are unique to the MtF perspective, how social dysphoria feels to yous, how your body image changes from before you know you're a woman, to pre-transition, to transitioning, and everything in between. Is there a point when you feel 'fully' transitioned, or is that a goal which is always just out of reach, or does it change along with you? What's it like socialising with cis women? - some of whom accept you as one of them, some who don't, and some who mean well but ultimately do more harm than good. What changes about how you interact with cis guys, after you come out or when you transition?

Have I missed any questions here? Let me know those things too!

Book One & Two are (roughly) for a 5 year old learning to read, a 7 year old to read by themselves, and a 9 year old to read to / with a younger sibling. There is also a full-colour illustrated version of Book One available for younger &/or less confident readers.

(All of the books are gonna have an illustrated edition... when I get around to it. The formatting process gave me nightmares.)

[rdbrainz]

nnoitra is my absolute fave and i adore your art!!! id love to see some kind of dynamic fighting pose of him in your style, but im also curious about any art or headcanons you might have about him if he had experienced the living world somewhat- like what foods would he like, or hobbies, or how would he spend time w others? sorry for the long ask love you bye!!!!

Thanks🤧❤ !!! And ohh that's a good ask! I have like a couple of answers for different turns of events on this one... Might as well also share some of the other ideas I have so it's a lot and even more.

But well if we're talking about regular hollow Nnoitra I think he'd be interested in all kinds of entertainment. Mainly music. He always struck me as a music person tbh especially since I firmly believe he'd be involved with goth subculture in some way or the other. I can see him collecting CDs as a hobby. Considering that my version of Nnoitra absolutely HATES thinking into things too much if they have something to do with his relationships, himself or the hollow existence as a whole I guess doing nothing when he's not asleep is hell for him because there's not much to think about in Hueco Mundo anyway. Maybe background music would give him some peace of mind while he's musing to himself. I mean even if his mind would wander back to these topics AT LEAST it won't be as painful to think about it as doing the same while you're surrounded by silence and lying on a hard surface locked up somewhere in Las Noches so no one would gnaw into your damn throat on your free time.

Him being a melomane/an avid music lover would work in any AU or story. I think he'd love A Perfect Circle. You know... considering the crescent moon and circle patterns and the music theme Kubo chose for him.

If we're talking about a bit worse turn of events where - let's say - he ends up in someone's home in the world of the living after he got his ass handed to him by zaraki, had to flee and now he feels worse than ever... watching TV is his other go-to. He'd be in front of it 24/7. It's stupid, sometimes even curious, sometimes confusing and he can either catch up on things or just complain about something to himself. His mind is occupied with something all the time either way.

I also think hollow Nnoitra would be very sceptical about trying human/shinigami food. It doesn't seem appealing to him, unnatural even. Especially if he has someone to feed off of. I believe that arrancars can work like vampires. Shinigamis are just compressed spiritual power so transfusing reiatsu would have the same effect as actually eating a shinigami. What's the point of choosing between flesh, blood and reiatsu if it's all the same in their case 😭. If he ends up living with a human then. Well. Blood sucking it is I guess lmao. Anyway yeah when it comes to food he's more prone to sticking to his hollow side. Though maybe he'd be tempted to try a soda or two.

If he's human/a shinigami then this guy would eat and/or drink literally anything. Especially if it's sea food, meat or something spicy. I had an AU where he was a captain in Gotei 13 and one of his hobbies was visiting karakura and other cities just to absolutely rob food establishments of their supplies. If a restaraunt has an "all you can eat" offer then it might as well be fucking bankrupt. If a cute cafe has a special Valentine's Day offer where couples only pay half the price then "Well I guess I could give someone a call". Cooking though..? Nope. Can't be bothered enough to cook something for himself.

Someone I know also had suggested once that in this AU he'd have a shit ton of hair products. And well it does make sense.

In a Shinigami Academy AU I had he's much younger and edgier LMAO. Goth enough to care about his appearance and wear makeup but too insecure to not stick out too much. He'd love collecting good cool-looking clothing but would literally bite off his own limbs if he had to wear something skin-tight or god forbid skinny jeans. Him and his toothpick legs could never!! Anyway there he wasn't so wary and disdainful towards other people. Desperate for some affection but sadly too air-headed to care enough. So he was sleeping around a lot just for funsies with Shinji as his partner in crime (sorry). I think that's about all I have on this topic!! Tnx again!

tumblr themes and why my eyes hate them 4/4

(just my eyes yada yada the ids are only about the colors and ability to read them and don't contain transcripts because the text isn't important)

Tumblr Theme Snow Bright

[id: tumblr theme snow bright, black text on white on white. end id]

looks like cement and ghost to me, decent enough but also not enough visual color change between posts to feel like there's a break between them. (Although all of these were a million times worse when the icons were GONE since everything was too streamlined and just slipped past without the icons.) (2/2)

[id: tumblr theme snow bright alt text box, white text on black. end id]

dark mode, nope. (0/1)

[id: tumblr theme snow bright messenger. your messages are white text on black, the other person's are black text on light gray, there is a white background. the messenger has a gray shadow to distinguish it from the site background of the same color. end id]

still has dark mode. (0/1)

Tumblr Theme Snow Bright: 2/4

Tumblr Theme Goth Rave

[id: tumblr theme goth rave. electric purple text on gray-black, sidebars have electric blue text with a different electric purple highlight. the site has black background. end id]

if you guess I couldn't read this you're correct. the saturation of these colors is too much. Also darkmode. (0/2)

[id: tumblr theme goth rave alt text box, black text on purple. end id]

at this point my eyes are in so much pain this just kind of wash over me and I have no idea at this point whether or not it'd be readable on it's own. I feel like maybe if the contrast/saturation was at the same level of whatever else I was reading it could be... so maybe like desaturate the purple and I could? (.5/1)

[image: tumblr theme goth rave messenger, your replies are black text on electric magenta, the other person's are electric purple on black. black messenger background. end id]

Both of those options are unreadable for me. (0/1)

Tumblr Theme Goth Rave: 0.5/4 because I gave it a pity point on a maybe for the alt text.

Tumblr Theme Pride

[id: tumblr theme pride, featuring purple text on white posts, a bright pink site background, bright yellow sidebar text and saturated navy blue notifications and highlights. end id]

Ouch. These are the color combinations even people without vision problems say has no readability. This is definitely what Barbie would use though. (0/2)

[id: tumblr theme pride alt with white text on saturated purple background. end id]

still does the darkmode eye strain and light haloes. (0/1)

[id: tumblr theme pride messenger. your replies have black text on bright pink, the other person's are purple text on light gray. white messenger background. end id]

Still a nope. (0/1)

15 Questions, 15 Mutuals

Thanks for tagging me @vespersposts I invite all of my followers to join! Also, THERE IS NO QUESTION 5

1. Are you named after anyone? Not exactly. Both my parents names actually have a name meaning related to water, and I was also born in a hospital with a beachview, so my mom was adamant about me having another water themed name when she was naming me. Same goes for my middle name, though that isn't actually officially mine as my middle name 'occured' to her when I was like a few months old and in my country, adding an official middle name later on after the child is born costs quite some money.

2. When was the last time you cried? 3 hours ago or something. My vivid imagination was thinking about story ideas, and then I thought of this dramatic one that made me spill a few tears.

3. Do you have kids? No human ones, only furry ones.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot? As someone on the spectrum, I struggle with sarcasm so not really.

6. What's your eye color? Hazel, the type that has various colours. Dark brown is my most dominant, but my eyes also contain bits of jade green, amber and steel grey.

7. Scary movies or happy endings? Kind of both? I've been a horror fan since I saw the children's horror comedy, The Little Vampire, at the age of 4 but I also really like seeing people who deserve something good to happen to them find their happy ending.

8. Any special talents? Well, other then the ones related to art, I do have a few good impressions. Mainly Brenna from Toddlers & Tiaras and Lucas Hanni from Eurovision 2019.

9. Where were you born? The Netherlands.

10. What are your hobbies? Reading, creating things, dancing

11. Have you any pets? 4 cats. Mitzie Gaynor Queenie is the eldest, named after the actress Mitzi Gaynor because of Breakfast At Pluto and Queenie because the little lady is a real kitty queen.

Then you have Poosie Kleptomania. She's the inspiration behind the cat in my Midorima drabble, and was named Poosie because of Pose, as this girl is a real charming little lady that would win in any ballroom (at least if you ask me). Her middle name stems from her extreme tendencies of theft.

Bollywood Klaagzang is my youngest girl. She really loved Bollywood movies ever since she was a kitten, and Klaagzang is a Dutch word for 'lamenting' which literally means a song or word spoken with a complaining tone. If there's anyone who's constantly bitching, its Bolly. She's the kind of diva who's literally whining for attention 24/7. She's whining on my lap as I type actually. One hand isn't enough.

Somi Pantherjoy the Shadowcat is the youngest and sole male. He's named after the K-POP idol Somi, because he's a cross between a European short hair and a Siamese cat, and because Somi is Dutch Canadian-Korean, it seemed like a fitting biracial name in a sense? He's a large, athletically build black cat though, hence the 'Pantherjoy the Shadowcat' part.

12. What sports do you play/have played? Aerial hoop. I quit as a beginner though, because of drama with the sport studio. The sport instructors were good, but one I befriended because we were close in age and that ended up in this massive drama between us and whilst they were good at training people, the bussiness itself behind it? A HUGE mess. When I emailed the administration about the drama, how to sort it out, if I could arrange something like be told on notice on which days she'd be in which studio (as they actually had two) to avoid contact with her and go to the one she wouldn't go instead, it pretty much launched into a whole new drama solely based on the fact, this was a company very clearly created by sport instructors of whom none had a background in administration, bussiness, or anything whatsoever and they didn't cared about hiring people who were either. I have plans to move to a different city with a studio that isn't owned by them so I've been thinking of picking it back up once I'm there.

13. How tall are you? My ID says 162 cm according to the measures made at the town's council building but someone measured me for something a year or so after and they said 161 cm, so... (5'3-ish).

14. Favorite subject in school? Economy. I'm good with money, and I'm an accountant studies drop-out actually. My mentor had difficulties with me because of my autism, and thus was pretty much useless. Once I got stuck, I decided to drop out.

15. Dream job? A child's author and toy designer. I dream of creating my own book series and toys based on the books. Perhaps even fashion dolls. I'd like to create an 'adult' version of the series with BJD dolls once I've had an audience who grew up with my stories. I even have some low-key thoughts on a theme park. I pretty much want to be the unproblematic Disney of children's literature. That would be the dream!

8/23/24: r/SketchDaily theme, "Free Draw Friday." This week's characters from my anthro WWII storyline are: Unnamed City Clerk; Herr Heinrich (no last name ever given); Frau Bartz (no first name ever given); and Private Etienne Laurent. So many this week as the first two are completely new characters who popped up as I was writing the Tumblr entry for Frieda Orchudesch and her father (last week), yet I wanted to still check a couple off my list. The clerk and Heinrich, the Orchudesches' manservant, help Josef Diamant start his career as document forger. Frau Bartz is in charge of a maternity home and is always trying to coax Lt. Hesse into settling down with one of the women. And Laurent is an older undeveloped character from my character list, a French partisan whose background I need to develop some. The clerk and Heinrich are already described in Frieda's Tumblr entry. There'll be more about them all later in my art Tumblr and Toyhou.se.

Regarding their designs: The clerk is a leucistic doberman; Heinrich is a fawn boxer; and Frau Bartz is a blue doberman (I'm iffy on her hair, she's supposed to look more severe). I wanted to try something different with Laurent's colors.

TUMBLR EDIT: The rest of this will be modified for each entry to avoid repetition.

Please see FRIEDA ORCHUDESCH'S ENTRY for info on Herr Heinrich. I don't know much about him, really the only reason he got a first name is because Josef Diamant needs to refer to him as something, and his name ("friends of Heinrich's") inadvertently ends up becoming code for people who wish to obtain forged IDs to escape the Third Reich. I struggled even coming up with a word by which to refer to him; he's kind of like an errand boy, kind of like a housekeeper, kind of like a butler, yet not quite just any of these things, so I settled on "manservant." He keeps house, does chores, runs errands (such as going to a clerk to fetch the Orchudesches' new ID papers), makes meals, cleans and presses clothes, all that stuff. He's an older, gentile, live-in servant who has no family of his own, has worked for Herr Orchudesch for many years (he refers to finding things Frieda Orchudesch placed in a hiding spot as a child, meaning he's worked there at least since she was little and probably longer, and likely helped raise her), and obviously cares deeply for the Orchudesches, as when Diamant arrives looking for them after they're taken away by the police, he finds Heinrich weeping uncontrollably over the loss. Heinrich breaks down crying multiple times as he explains to Diamant what happened, and repeatedly blames himself for not getting back with the ID papers in time to help them.

Heinrich is too late to do anything for the Orchudesches (they're already on their way to the camps when Diamant arrives, and neither survives long), though he does manage to help indirectly, by handing over the ID papers to Diamant when requested; Diamant studies the papers and uses them as the starting point in his scheme to forge IDs for other Jews unable to obtain their own papers to leave the country. Heinrich, for his part, says there is nothing left for him in his homeland, and decides to leave as well, urging Diamant to do the same. The city clerk (see HIS ENTRY) with whom he puts Diamant in touch, when suggesting that a desperate family of Jews visit Diamant's shop for assistance, tells them that if all other entreaties fail, to say a friend of Heinrich's sent them; they use this reference when sending a telegram to Diamant to let him know his forged IDs worked and they escaped safely.

I don't know what becomes of Heinrich; he successfully leaves the country, but after that disappears from the plot. I'm assuming he ends up okay though he never does quite vanquish his guilt over being unable to help his informal adopted family.

Planning-

Abilities and Descriptions:

For this project, I wish to show what could be done if it was ever to be picked up by better hands and put to scrutiny as a game. To do this, I am planning to make a Slide that could be seen in a game pamphlet or manual that would be found in the game case.

This will allow for the abilities to be better see and given more room to allow the player top discover them if they wish too, rather than forcing them to indulge in some controls that they might discover better on their own.

This piece will show off two descriptions, in the motif of the game, they will be shown off with art and style making them stand out from other manuals of the same ilk.

To make this, I will use photoshop, as I always do, and will present it in landscape A3, what is odd for a booklet, but due to me wanting to emit a old computer vibe, it will fit in better with the aesthetic I am striding for. I will use colour theory to show the difference in friendly, enemy, and natural teams, what will visually help the player derive what is of use and how they work. I will continue my Art Deco inspired world  by incorporating it into this books fashion. I have a mood board that I will draw from to show this. 

Looking at these images stirs envy in me, that there are people who can make work that looks so professional with nearly nothing, whereas my work has no such skill or style, even when I pour my soul into it. But these images will help me look deeper into the style. I want to use Art Deco due to its connotation to the rich, flamboyant and odd modern futurismus, with the architectural style melding with visions of opulent destinies. I blended better with the sharper, more harsh variations of the style, using squares, edges and consistency to build up their works. It also makes it feel more aggressive and less accepting, as if forcefully grafted into the system, as if the tyle is a forced visage that other wish to uphold, lest they fall from grace, what links with some of the theming I have added to this project, such as trying to exist past your time and trying to discover who you are and forcing a personality onto yourself. 

Development:

I have encountered no problems while developing this idea out further. I have given it a “Tabby” feel, making the art look even more like a computer program where you are opening tabs looking for system settings, again fitting in with the games style. I have added art as expected and have decided to make the background completely black, this is unusual, but I believe that id does help make it feel alien and computeristic, as it feel like a booting screen for a PC, what I like. I am expecting minor changes to occur as I go further into the project, like when I tried to make it all black and white. I wanted to try this because it, again, computerised the idea, but I thought that adding colour separated the ideas and looks better than leaving it blank, so I continued with my original idea.

Finalisation:

The work is done, an I am happy with the outcome, I think the colours work, the style fits, It is explained visually well and so on. I could have added more details to the blank backgrounds, but the isolation they create does have its charm to it in my eyes. I could have made the text bigger though by reducing the presence of the art deco corner, but I like how it looks too much to remove it from the project. I think the only glaring problem foreseeable is the text reading, but in an actual project this will be unneeded as you would have it closer to yourself while also being in a larger format.

Finished Art:

Testing Art Deco style:

How to choose a Photo Booth

Before, photo booths were primarily found in shop corners where people took pictures for their IDs. However, they are trendy at parties, weddings, and other events.

​But as the number of events that need photo booths grows, so does the number of companies that want to provide them. So the problem is to find the best company.

​You do not have to worry because the article will give tips for choosing the right photography partner.

Tips for Choosing A Photo Booth

Check the ratings

​When looking into a company that rents out photo booths, you should first read customer reviews of their service. It will give you a good idea of what to expect, and if a lot of people have had a good time, your event will likely be the same. Of course, we do not ignore companies that do not have ratings, but you may have more faith in a company that has been around for a long time than in one that is just starting. There are several companies that provide the rent selfie booth in Los Angeles at very reasonable prices.

Budget

​The amount of money you want to spend is always an essential factor. Every event has a budget, and you should stick to it. However, do not forget that your budget will directly affect the photo booths you can choose from and that a smaller budget will likely show in the quality of the pictures and the equipment you get. Also, remember that sales tax will be added on top of that. There are several options for photo booth rentals in New Jersey that are well known for providing excellent photo services at very reasonable prices.

Somewhat Booth

Because of technological changes, there are now a lot of different kinds of photo booths. Some have touch screens, and some have themes, but the reason to have one at your event is for the photos. So, it is essential to ensure that the booth you choose has the best technology to get clear pictures of everyone's best side.

Customer support

​Even though you and your guests own the photos, in the end, you trust a company to give you the best service possible. The booths have to provide excellent service to your customers because the booths with the best customer service will be able to help choose props and suggest solutions for the background. Many rent photo booths in Dallas are well-known.

Conclusion

Here are a few tips to help you find the best company, such as Selfie Booth, to set up a photo booth at your event, no matter what it is. Rental facilities are also available. Please make sure to follow the tips mentioned above before choosing your photo booth. Check out the website now: https://selfieboothco.com/

Cutitying my Linux desktop!!!

Haiii lovelieess!! :3

I am just soo obsessed with kawaii aesthethic. I pretty much wanted every pixels of my screen to be a shade of pink, or white!!

I was inspired from Nemui Atelier's post about cutifying her Windows desktop!!! However, I use Linux as my daily driver operating system. I do have Windows installed on my laptop, but I don't usually use it!!

Your Backgrounds

Wallpaper Engine does not run in Linux. I saw some patches from GitHub trying to make it run, however, in this free and open source world of Linux, why not we use a free and open source alternative??

Hidamari to be quite useful for things like this!! You can just install it from Flathub and then you just need to add the GIF or MP4 to the application. It works like a real charm on GNOME!! ✨✨ Best of all, it's free, and it's open source! ✨✨

It has backend for Youtube too! It also has a browser backend, which allows you to connect to a custom webpage if you want something even more dynamic!! Though, I much recommend writing a GNOME extension, or KDE/KWin plugins if you're on KDE, if you would like something like that.

However, it's quite hard to use wallpapers published for Wallpaper Engine!!! Since they're published as Steam workshop files and pressing the "Subscribe" button on the web interface does not download anything, but rather make Steam downloads them when you got the app installed. You'll need to download steamcmd, the command-line client for Steam. It's pretty much a hassle for non-technical users thoughh….

Application Icons

First of all we need to have the cute icon for our app!!

I made this Pinterest-inspired logo edit! It's not that great of design, to be honest, but it's just a demonstration!! The logo is just Firefox but edited to be pinkly monochrome. And I added some temporary placeholder backgrounds taken from Pinterest!!! They're pastel pinkcore-themed too!!

Most applications that you install nowadays are probably Flatpaks. Soo.. they're normally installed to /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/, but if they're system apps, they're usually available on /usr/local/share/applications/.

Since the Flatpak ID for Firefox is org.mozilla.firefox, we can copy /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications

And then we just need to edit it to:

Icon = cute-firefox

Yayyy!! It works!! <3

Cursor theme

Obviously, you can't just use Windows cursor themes on Linux. Linux desktops use a different format than those used by Windows. I'm not going to port any Windows themes today because it's just going to be a long process, but maybe I should do it next time!!!

But maybe you would want thoughh If soo, the KDE userbase does have a guide on making one!!!

I got this Reimu Hakurei cursor theme from OpenDesktop!! It's ported from the original Windows version on Pixiv, and it's great news that it's Touhouuu!!!

Sooo cursor themes in Linux are pretty much the same as icon themes. The difference is that cursor themes just use the cursors folder, of course!!!

So I downloaded the Reimu cursor theme, unpack the zip file, and installed it to ~/.local/share/icons/!! And then I set the cursor theme trough the GNOME Tweaks app!

AAlsoo, don't forget to add the icons folder to Flatseal so that all apps can find the icons!!

Sooo that's my post today!! Thanks for reading!! Byeee!! <3

Interfaith Fandom Survey Interest Check Update

ID. A LGBTQ+ inclusive flag that flaps in the wind against a blue colored sky background. END ID.

Hi loves, I’m excited to share that we had over a dozen replies for the anon survey* that was shared in a previous post (that you can read here). And it seems there is enough interest to move forward to the next stage of building a little corner of the internet for an interfaith community of people who are also LGBTQ+!

What happens next

The biggest take away was that people would love resources (ranging from sensitivity to content creation, affirming posts, LGBTQ+ positive theology, courses, and so on), and fandom channels where we can celebrate feeling seen in media. To accomplish this, I’ll be initiating a three step process:

Setting up a tumblr where we can hopefully reach any content creators/fans who would be interested in contributing to a resource doc. As in, you wouldn’t necessarily have to sign up for the server if you’re not interested, but would like to potentially contribute, and/or receive a copy of the doc. The doc would be organized between myself and a mod team, and would be accessible to anyone who would like it (but more of those details once the blog is up).

Assembling the doc would likely be done through a small private server, formulating a short questionnaire/interview that could include, but not limited to, such questions as:

"What are some tropes you have seen in fandom that you feel feed into negative stereotypes about your faith/background?”, “What are some tropes/themes you’d love to see more of in fandom in regards to your faith/background?”, “What are some things that might not seem obvious to a casual reader, but when you spot it you know it was not written by someone of the same background as you?”, “Are there any links to articles, books, courses, that you’d like to share that you feel might be helpful for a content creator to read before trying to write a character that shares the same faith/background as you?”

We would then organize the responses and index it for consumption and send it out to the ether of the internet :)

Having a mod team assembled, and with the help of the community, we would build up the server with pre agreed upon rules, and boundaries, and hopefully expand it to a space where people can share about their experiences, geek out over fandom, and in general not feel like they have to water down a core part of their identity of either/or. *And I would pass along the results of the survey via a spreadsheet to ensure everyone who took the time to share their thoughts would be heard by the mod team

However even though I will be working closely with a mod team to discuss the wording and nuances of the rules, I would like to share some basics of what the server will, and will not, be:

The aim of the server is to be a safe space for those who identify somewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum (if you are not CIS gendered and heterosexual and heteroromantic - all three, then we believe you are part of that spectrum. This would include “straight passing” bisexuals, trans, and aspec persons), and who also have a religious affiliation - regardless of practice/community or orthodoxy.

As in, we recognize that some people have a personal relationship with their faith and background, who are seeking community, but might not be currently involved within a community. There are many of us who have not shared one part of our identity in our communities, either in person and/or online and we are seeking others who we can share that complex journey with. However, to honor both digital boundaries, different needs for privacies, and in some cases even safety, we will never push for identifying information. It will be up to each member’s discretion to decide for themselves what they want to divulge about themselves, including but not limited to, their religious affiliation, gender identity and sexual orientation.

The secondary goal, is to be able to geek out over fandom, especially to celebrate representation in media, and when applicable, to share resources with fellow content creators on how to be mindful when it comes to writing characters who are practicing, but also the cultural and ethnic influences, and how to be sensitive to navigating it through the kind of content we want to produce. We do this because we recognize our own biases and prejudices and skewed world lens. We want to approach the subject matter with humility, our common goal will be to honor who we are sharing communal space with, and recognize the person behind the screen. The whole point is to be humble, realize we don't know everything, and at the very least, not be woefully ignorant about the content we produce - to be informed about issues, concerns and inherent biases, all while also celebrating the content we get when sensitivity has been applied to representation.

Finally, many of us, myself included, have suffered from religious trauma, and spiritual abuse, and though we do hope to ensure a safe space, we will also have firm boundaries in regards to hostile language directed at other members. The trauma is not your fault, but the healing is your responsibility, and one stranger on the internet cannot be the stand in for your abuser to project on.

There is a huge difference in practicing how to have hard conversations about interfaith dialogue, unlearning inherent biases/prejudices, and processing trauma through genuine, open communication that we can hopefully develop and take out to the real world - and lashing out at people with unhealed wounds via harassing language. For example, someone saying, “I found this link that discusses inherent biases in regards to Judaism some of you might not be aware of, and I think I would be a good read for those interested.” is way different than, “Anyone who is [ insert any religious affiliation ] is a [ insert a bigoted streotype ].”

We would also have very clear definitions about channel lineups, including a sharing area, where those who would like some comfort and feedback about hard things in regards to their faith/background can be met with understanding but also keeping in mind to keep things within channels for those who would prefer lighter discussions in a the fandom areas.

There will be absolutely no proselytizing, or “jokes” about one religion being “better” than any other - it is a shared space, and though we have chosen our faith because it is what speaks to us and we feel fulfilled by it, it is downright hubris to assume that that must be the case for everyone. There is a beauty in expanding our minds and seeing how differently we all connect with our spiritual practices. That is a beautiful thing, and not a cause for competition, in this space.

Though every effort will be made to account for English not being everyone's first language, that we are limited by text communication and that we want to give the benefit of the doubt first - any form of disparaging blanket statements, harassment, bigotry, racism will be handled swiftly and effectively because there is enough of that in the world and though we cannot change the world, we can, and will, adhere to pre agreed upon rules of conduct within a small digital community.

So for now, bear with me as I reach out to a few people who I think might be interested in helping me mod this project, and I’ll share a link to the blog just as soon as it’s up. Blessings <3

I don't think this is entirely accurate, at least as far as published SFF novels - different dynamics probably prevail on stardestroyer.net! Most of the recent high-profile F/F sci-fi novels have been written by women (or nonbinary people). And honestly, it's likely more than everyone realises, factoring in closet trans shit.

There has been a major culture shift in science fiction and fantasy in the last decade and a half. I might put the inflection point around the big blow-ups on LiveJournal that happened around '09, and the trend was cemented by the Puppies culture wars (a last ditch reactionary backlash by the side that had lost).

This has seen the rise of what you might call the 'lesbians and imperialism' subgenre: from Ann Leckie with Ancillary Justice through Yoon Ha Lee Ninefox Gambit and NK Jemisin with The Fifth Season up to recent popular authors like Arkady Martine with A Memory Called Empire, Tamsyn Muir with Gideon the Ninth and Seth Dickinson with The Traitor Baru Cormorant. Not to mention increasingly popular authors like RF Kuang and CL Clark who have been building a larger presence.

These certainly aren't the only big trends in SFF fiction, but they're the ones that tend to sweep the accolades of late - for example, the Hugo Award for best novel has been won by women (mostly the same few women) since 2015.

I couldn't tell you exactly what demographics read these books, though I'm sure the publishers collect data. What I can say is that in my experience, the fandoms of these books are mostly similar to the authors, i.e. overwhelmingly id as lesbian and/or nonbinary.

The prototypical 'lesbians and imperialism' story features a young woman prodigy who is trying to subvert a fantasy empire from within, but increasingly gets morally compromised by the effort. They vary in their complexity and literary ambition. The politics of these stories is broadly on a spectrum from lib to anarcho. They're usually very overtly about Empire, with a capital E, and so they'll lean heavily on post-colonial narratives, spiced up with a good amount of violence and body horror to keep you turning pages. A lot of the authors have a background in academia. Typically the book will be published as a trilogy.

Leftist politics and sociological themes are not new in science fiction. This is the genre of Le Guin and Butler, Swanwick and Pollack, after all! Ann Leckie's big inspiration was the work of CJ Cherryh. But it's only relatively recently that they've become a dominant pole within the SFF-fan subculture.

These books don't always feature lesbians, but... they very often do. They'll often have gay guys too, but rarely as POV characters (Yoon Ha Lee's books, full of scheming space twinks, being a major exception - and hey, he's a trans guy).

Even outside this subgenre, the Overton window has been pulled lesbianward. The Expanse series, written by two guys, which spawned a popular TV show, is an old school sort of near-future hard scifi first contact story, but it's got some F/F on the side. I recently read a book called Barbary Station by RE Stearns, one woman, which was a similarly old school hard-sf story about space pirates but the POV characters are a lesbian engineer couple. It's not got any big points to make about imperialism, but it's also not something which would have likely been published 15 years ago.

Partly that's probably the trends you identify - what makes guys uncomfortable - but partly I think it's driven by those other genre trends.

Can this trend be explained? I'm not sure. Probably a lot has to do with feedback effects: if Ancillary Justice kicks the door open and NK Jemisin sits on top of the Hugos for three years straight, publishers are a lot more likely to approve a book that superficially resembles the things that are selling. (Same goes for previous trends like grimdark fantasy, the 'new weird' and so on). It coincides with all the other millenial/zoomer political trends too, the rise of 'online social justice', openness about transness and sexuality in wider culture, anti-racist movements... As such, there is a broad sentiment in the 2010s of science fiction wishing to cleanse itself of its past sins and reinvent the genre's politics, and in particular to make a big point of celebrating authors who aren't white and male. A decade downstream and this gets sanded down into 'representationcore', where books are marketed based on which demographic boxes they tick.

So where do books about gay guys fit into this? There's a considerable cross-pollination between literary scifi fandom and fanfic/'media fandom', which is overwhelmingly M/M dominated, but despite this there's not a lot of M/M-centric scifi novels. Was it easier for The Lesbians to slip into what has been historically a very 'male' genre, where women would tend to publish under initials or pseudonyms, because we don't disrupt the overriding logic of what kind of people are desirable? That seems a little bit of a stretch to me, but I can't really explain why there isn't a lot more fujo-oriented scifi.

Perhaps the answer is that scifi is a genre that is kind of on life support, almost nobody reads it beyond a few popular authors who break out of the genre box. So if some nerdy women and enbies manage to write some unexpectedly successful scifi and that pulls in a new demographic, that becomes a bubble of life and activity in a space that's otherwise pretty moribund. Publishers saw this and were like, hey, money. And a subgenre is born, shaped by the tastes of what 'seeded' it.

I admit this account is likely very shaped by my reading biases, but I think that's more or less what happened.

I'm not sure if this is just down to me ending up in an extremely specific bubble entirely by chance or what, but - with books specifically these days when people talk about how rare or courageous or desperately needed queer representation in sci fi/fantasy is I do kind of wonder what they're talking about. Like I'm if anything actively put off by marketing that foregrounds representation and having put absolutely zero effort in I'm pretty sure the straight/queer romance split in what I've read this year is somewhere around 50/50.

how the ninjas sleep & what their dreams are like

Kai: He moves around every so often to get comfortable, nothing too severe, until he falls asleep, that is. As soon as he’s out he will begin doing cartwheels around the bed. He’ll spin in circles, thrash about, get up and walk in a circle. He never wakes up with the blanket still covering him. By far the most likely to sleepwalk. He’d be the one hulking out the 2nd floor window of La Quinta Inn in Walla Walla Washington. You can also talk to him most of the time, but literally nothing he says will make any sense. One time he turned to a still-awake Lloyd and said “ If someone took my wood to town id be mad, wouldn’t you?” and Lloyd promptly woke up half the team because he couldn’t stop laughing. 

Kai’s dreams are the most vivid and tend to have reoccurring themes, for instance one of his friends getting kidnapped, and each dream its a different person. Each dream is always a Big Deal with some grand obstacle.

Jay: Moves most when he’s awake, but once he’s out he doesn’t move much. Greatly enjoys weighted blankets - without them he sleeps very very lightly. He sleeps very close to the edge of the bed, within easy access to the door, so that if an emergency happens he can escape easily. Canonically sleeps with stuffed animals. Another sleeptalker, but no guarantee whether you’ll be able to hold a conversation with him or not. It can range from anything to a single word to him telling you the exact plot of the latest video game he’s been playing.

Jay’s dreams are the wildest out of all the ninjas, like the kind that you could make long-running sci-fi fantasy franchises out of. Pop culture icons easily slip into his dreams, though they’ll usually be wildly out of character. Also, everyone is super mean but they don’t feel mean when he’s dreaming, only when he wakes up and thinks about it.

Zane: Doesn’t move much awake or asleep. Likes to sleep on his side and also likes to be burrito’d. He doesn’t need sleep quite the same way that humans do, but it’s still good for him - kinda like rebooting your laptop every once in a while. He also doesn’t like staying up while everyone is asleep if he doesn’t have to.

Much like Zane’s canon dreams, they tend to be prophetic, though not all of them actually are. He could dream about an earthquake happening in Ninjago City, and either it will happen just how he envisioned it or it’ll happen in some completely different way/place. Mostly, though, they tend to be centered in abstractness with themes of identity. 

Cole: Like a rock **ba dum tss**. Seriously, he could sleep through a tornado siren right outside his window, and when he falls asleep he does not move. Sleeping positions can range from “the mummy” to “that one tumblr post about Optimal Sleeping Positions (ass out: crucial). On rare occasions, though, he will do something strange or sleepwalk. One particular instance, he went to the kitchen and made himself a sandwich, had a full conversation with Sensei Wu, then thanked Wu for the sandwich (even though he made it himself) before going back to bed. All completely in his sleep. Also, he canonically sleeps in matching pajama sets.

Cole’s dreams are incredibly mundane (save for the nightmares). He’ll have a dream about the best burger he’s ever had, and that’s the whole dream. Unfortunately, he didn’t get to finish it, and he’s still mad about it. 

Nya: Sleeps on her stomach. She doesn’t tend to move too much, but she cant sleep unless there’s some sort of white noise. She’s the type to cover herself in 3 blankets and put a fan directly on herself to counteract the heat. Her bed looks like a nest, stuffed animals included (most of which were given to her by Jay or are secretly Jay’s). Can sleeptalk just like her brother, and can reply to him while they’re both sleeping. The conversations still don’t make any sense, though.

Nya is the most likely to have the “went to school with out a shirt on” or “my teeth fell out” types of dreams. The sort of mundane anxiety dreams. She can also get the weirdly abstract dreams like Zane does, but hell if she can ever make sense of them. 

Lloyd: Takes a long time to get to sleep. Usually needs something like youtube or the tv on in the background to get sleepy, else his mind will spiral. Things with calm voices work best for him. He doesn’t move positions at all when sleeping, but he twitches a lot. It gets worse when he’s having a nightmare, which he is the most likely of the ninja to get - about a 30%-40% chance of getting one, but he doesn’t always remember them. 

His dreams also get super weird. The good ones can range from going to the grocery store to a big grand adventure to find a forgotten treasure. They will consistently have old foes in them, though whether or not they cause any conflict or are just there is a total tossup.

"Welcome to the Cantessy League, Trainer. Oh right, you're that kid that stopped by my planetarium back home! I'm pleased as punch that you could make it to this part of your journey. You're very persistent, and I like seeing that in potential challengers. I won't make some smarmy quip about foreseeing your progress--my own psychic abilities are focused on telekinesis and telepathy, not precognition. However, it doesn't take the ability to see the future to predict the outcome of our battle. And that outcome is, regardless of who wins or loses, this battle will be quite an interesting spectacle!"

So I know what you're thinking. Two Gym Leaders for each Gym, each specializing in one type, that makes for specialists for 16 of the 18 different types right? What of the two remaining ones? Well I only showed off half of the Elite Four (or in all technicalities, 2/3 of the Elite 6), of course :3c

Regardless of what version you're playing, one of your opponents in Cantessy's Elite Four will be the psychic-type specialist Cypress. EKU's Hummel Planetarium was a favorite attraction of mine for a day trip as a kid, and as I was researching to make sure I had the spelling correct I literally just found out it's either permanently or indefinitely closed and now I'm just a sad puppy. Anyway, those childhood memories inspired Cypress's role as a planetarium operator, as well as the psychic-type's general theming around space and the cosmos and all, and the planetarium in Lexville used to be the location of that city's Gym before Cypress was promoted to Elite Four and the Gym's operations were moved to the Rough Arena. As a disabled Trainer, even with the psychic abilities he was developing prior to his accident making his own situation a bit easier, he has been adamant about making the Cantessy League more accessible to any Trainers who wish to partake regardless of their own physical and mental capabilities. After all, there are plenty of people in wheelchairs like himself who aren't so lucky as to be able to self-propel via telekinesis (despite his doctors' very insistent recommendation to just use his arms in case his brain gets tired), or even self-propel at all, and they deserve to have the same chance at taking on the Cantessy League as someone whose can walk without difficulty.

You've probably had some strong counters to psychic-types on hand for quite some time, as a lot of strong trainers tend to use them anyway. In your initial battle with Cypress, he'll have an Espeon at level 53, a Gardevoir at level 54, a Malevoleye at level 55, a Galarian Rapidash at level 57, and an Alakazam at level 59 who he'll join in with for a Union Battle. When you take the Elite Four on again in rematches after post-game, his whole team will be boosted by ten levels and he'll add a level 63 Cantessian Mismagius.

If any actual wheelchair users have any commentary on Cypress's chair design, feel free to let me know. Though I am sad the angle of his position in this pic means you can't see the design on the little front wheels (they look like Unown from the sides).

so while typing out different scenes for the roleswap au snippet collection i got going on, i’m starting to have a clear grasp on what ed and al’s arcs would be. i dont set it in a specific universe, really (i prefer to stay vague in which universe its in), but by default i use 03 characters and themes as my framing point (though i take some characterizations from fmab that i like as well)—ed and al both basically learn the same things (al to be less passive, ed to be more so) but the way it comes about is what ive been figuring out

with al leading the way, his fatal flaw is his patience and trusting nature (he always gives people the benefit of the doubt), and imma let my pjo fan leak through even more by saying id say he’s got that “temptation to deliberate” flaw (tries to weigh all his options which leaves him indecisive). it’s his biggest strength and weakness. even though al is very smart he often cant make the conclusions about people that ed does. he doesnt figure tucker out, or father cornell, etc, because he just assumes the best in people and doesnt even consider evil intentions.

i also have this running thing that al REALLY wants a parental figure. like that’s just a naturally occurring theme when im writing him. and that also contributes to his trusting nature. to ed, adults are out to get them and they have to isolate themselves, while to al adults are there for help and guidance, which he’s always craving and is hard to get from ed as much in this au where ed is emotionally younger. and adult figures al trusts consistently betray them or die and that’s pretty sucky. (I know i said no 03/fmab specifics but this is a quick exception cause its interesting—this is where trisha sloth plays even more of a role in als arc because theres his actual parental figure right THERE)

Eds arc revolves around having to be more gentle, more patient. with a big metal body and HIS temper? Oof, he becomes a source of problems for al, like i still assume ed would be the one to beat tucker, with al emotionally dissociating in the background until he snaps to realization and has to step in between ed and tucker to stop, and it adds to alphonse’s stress to have to handle his brothers’ emotions before his own which he processes more quietly and slowly.

the peak of eds arc i believe would be where he accidentally hurts al in both a deeply emotional level and a pretty serious physical level due to his own recklessness.

the peak of als arc would be where his empathy and patience leads to the biggest betrayal and to others getting hurt. the parental aspect of al’s arc so far is one that kinda stays unresolved at least so far. its more a running theme with him that plays INTO his arc than a arc separate, anyway.

Got some autumn stuff to upload that’s by my friend, Nao, aka,   thebigblackdevil5 on DA! She used my autumn Jolyne model for this one! 

Original pic on da: https://www.deviantart.com/thebigblackdevil5/art/JJBA-Autumn-Light-Blessing-913618487

Her description:

“ It's like super late for autumn, but it's better than nothing, right? O: Anyways this my last autumn picture, it was pretty fun making pictures of my friend's models that they made the contest, again me and my friend enter the contest together which they did their part already but I took to long finish my picture for the fall X'D I'm not going to lie but the reason why I pick this model to do last was because well... I had some poses and ideas for a certain picture, but it which took me a while to figure out how I could do the pose and even get the background, but I figure it out! Originally this was piece was supposed be more of eerie-mystery picture, I kinda wanted it to be a album cover but when I was fixing up the pose I sorta changed my mind at the last minute and I gave it more a fairy-tale like scenery just like this better than my original~. Like I said, this was supposed to have a different story to yet where I mention the ''album cover" idea was well I have a idea for that which I will be explaining it right now... So basically the first idea I had in mind was that in the Jojo AU, Shanna id performing a shoot for a Fall theme album cover since she already had everything ready to go but in the day of her shoot, she came down with a terrible cold which made her bummed out since she was looking for to make the cover cool yet spooky; however, her daughter Jolyne decided to take over. At first she was undifferentiated about it since she was scared of messing up for her mother but after getting some advice from her done she did the cover. Yeah that was the originally idea but I changed like super last minute, like I had this really cute headcanon for the Jojo AU where like when Jolyne always loved the fashion her mom wear like her every day outfit, contest performance, or events, you name! Maybe as Jolyne got older she could do a little part time modeling for some new fashion week, since the influence of her mom made her love fashion, so maybe she gets a part time modeling job  and the modeling agents make her wear this beautiful kimono that is custom made so they use the photo in the magazine for the fall. So yeah that's pretty much what I had in mind but to be honest with you, I think I like the story where Jolyne was influenced by fashion by her mother was my favorite since I know in the canon she is implied she closer to her mom but I just image in the AU she is really to her parents but she's more closer to her mom and her dad...well we know how rocky their relationship is with her dad but they are trying to get along.. Anyways, yeah that's pretty much of it with the stories. (•_•) I lot of fun making piece, I added a lot of effects to make it stand little more than the other two that I made, to give more a bit of more of the 'fashion'' lighting to it, sorta like in those magazine where it's all glamourous, well I tried with the effects and I think I did a good job on them. :3 Also originally I was going to have Jolyne have her normal face expression but look little more curious, but I change her expression to be more surprised since I thought it mood better and I think it made her looks really cute too~. (╯▽╰ ) This was supposed to be done at the same time when I posted my Suzi Q fall theme picture, but I couldn't find the background until later on with my friend's help. I think I think I mention it but I really don't remember at all but I wanted to make her face more surprise-like in a way while she looks at the butterfly since I did say this was more of a fairy-tale like scenery so now you know. ＜（＾－＾）＞ I really did my best and I really did have a great time working on this, even though it took a whole to finish up but still.Uhh.... the title is meh to me but I think it's sorta good. :/</small?
