#iOS theme ideas

[stil-yr-sand]

its fine i redid it

icons

[steviexdarling]

So I wanted to share my ios theme that I just set up. I haven’t done any ios themes since when ios 16 first came out with the feature. Then I got tired of each app opening shortcuts every time. Luckily it’s been updated so I sat down and took the couple hours it took to do this and it looks nice af. I still plan to do a few more to cycle through like a green one since it’s my favorite color, a cinnamoroll one since that’s one of my special interests, a manga aesthetic one, maybe a Pokémon one if I can make it look aesthetically pleasing since Pokémon is my #1 special interest and has been for years, a witchy/pagan one since I’m a pagan witch ofc, maybe a StrayKids one since they’re my number one favorite K-pop group of all time (I’ve been with them since pre-debut when Hellevator came out), And maybe a couple others I’m not sure yet. So my next post will be the first and current ios theme I made and have set on my phone.

so i had a dream last night that frank was releasing a new solo album (that may or may not be a christmas album) and he showed me the album cover and it was the most unhinged insane thing i have ever seen that i had to spend 3 hours piecing it together in photoshop and i think all of you need to see it

he was completely serious about it and i was fighting back laughter to try not to tell him how cursed it was

Interview With a Writer

It is that blessed time when the wonderful and talented Miss Maggie, @inthedayswhenlandswerefew, gives us some behind-the-scenes insight to her latest brilliant narration. [Feel free to check out the Spotify playlist of all the songs mentioned and let me know if I forgot one!]

Here is masterlist to my Interview With a Writer series and the other talented individuals who allow me to continue this self-indulgent series! 💜 Picture(s) source.

Name: inthedayswhenlandswerefew

Story: 1968

Paring: modern Aemond Targaryen x female!reader, modern Aegon Targaryen x female!reader

Warnings: 18+ mature themes. Be mindful of chapter warnings.

Where did the idea for 1968 come from?

I am a high school social studies teacher by trade, and my absolute favorite class to teach is American History. The 1960s and 70s were actually one of my weak spots when I got my first teaching job back in 2020, so I ended up researching a lot about that period of time and got absolutely obsessed with it. In my American History class, I spend a whole lesson on JUST 1968, because so many important events happened in that year that are emblematic of broader trends and tensions.

One day I was re-reading one of my favorite books, The Other Mrs. Kennedy by Jerry Oppenheimer, which is specifically about Bobby Kennedy’s wife Ethel, but also gives a lot of insight into the Kennedy family generally and what it was like to live through that era. The idea of using this setting as a fic AU occurred to me, and I ruminated on it for a few weeks while finishing up Napoleonville.

Eventually, I had a revelation of the ending of 1968 (true to my usual pattern), and then knew I’d have to write the fic! I was actually really worried about all the political and historical details being too boring and/or confusing (especially for non-U.S. readers), so I was relieved that so many people gave it a chance. 🥰

Honestly, it was brilliant with the similarities to the Kennedys and Targaryens in the story. Were there any historical cameos in 1968 that you enjoyed channeling? Or perhaps struggled with?

I find LBJ super fascinating, and I feel that because of the Vietnam War he really doesn’t get a fair assessment when people look back on his presidency. His work for civil rights and the Great Society (SNAP, Medicaid, Head Start, Job Corps, PBS, etc.) was truly revolutionary, and as someone who grew up in poverty and benefitted from a lot of those programs, I don’t think LBJ’s contributions get the recognition and praise they deserve. I perceive him as a haunted sort of figure, and I really enjoyed his cameos. (To be clear, he was also super problematic and bizarre personally, and I don’t mean to excuse any of that 😂).

As for someone who was difficult to write about…honestly, the George Wallace research I did was super depressing, so while he was necessary to include, I didn’t really enjoy working on those parts!

Was there anything in specific that inspired your Reader portrayal?

Io is a bit of a composite sketch. Ethel Kennedy was known as doggedly committed to her husband’s career above all else (despite eventually being the mother of 11 children!!), and I think that inspired Io’s single-minded determination to help Aemond win the election in the first few chapters. Ethel was traditional in the sense that her husband was the center of her world and made all the important decisions, as was expected of women of her social class in that time period. But Io is also a manifestation of the counterculture of the late-60s. She is young, educated, genuinely progressive politically, and likes to party. She tries to reconcile the expectations of her family/time period and her actual personality by intentionally choosing a husband with whom she can have an equal partnership making the world a better place. And…we all know how that worked out.

[Photo Ethel and Bobby Kennedy, m. 1950]

Can you explain your interpretation of Aegon? How does he compare and contrast to Aemond? What drives them? Why are they the way that they are?

In 1968, Aegon is 40 years old, and so his role in the Targaryen political dynasty is very well-established: once his family realized he couldn’t be weaponized for their purposes, he was largely disposed of, and lives this aimless, uninspired, self-loathing sort of existence. He does have some genuine love for his family—missing Daeron and feeling guilt over him being sent to Vietnam, a vague sort of fondness for Mimi and the kids, distress when Aemond is shot in Palm Beach, an apology of sorts to Alicent by performing “Mama Tried” at her birthday party—but Aegon exists on the periphery, and he knows this, and while he doesn’t want to be a politician the rejection still stings.

At first, he perceives Io as yet another person who makes him feel inadequate and unloved; and in fairness, she is cruel to him, in fact more so than Aegon is to Io in return. It is noteworthy that in Chapter 1, she viciously criticizes Aegon in front of everyone in the waiting room (“if someone had to get killed tonight it should have been you”), but he doesn’t return fire until they are alone (the infamous cow comment), and even then he seems to regret it immediately.

Aegon, fundamentally, is more sad than mean. When in Chapters 2 and 3 Io abruptly reveals herself to be someone who is vulnerable, wounded, abandoned, and kind of a hippie lowkey, Aegon begins to perceive her differently, and she becomes an opportunity for him to be truly understood, protected, and loved for the first time in his life.

I think we would all describe Aemond as ambitious and ruthless, determined to prove that he is the best to compensate for deep, lifelong insecurities. He is a progressive politically because he sees a path to build a winning coalition, and perhaps in small part because of the whole Greeks-being-despised immigrants thing. But in 1968 there is a sense that you never fully understand who he is as a person. This is intentional! 1968 is Io’s story, and she never gets to see the whole Aemond. She sees parts of the picture, but never the full image. As awful as he is to Io, there is also a side of Aemond that truly (even if in an…unorthodox way 😂) loves Alys and their child, and there are clues that Alys understands him like no one else can (that Ouija board message… 👀). He’s by no means a good guy, but he is multifaceted. I think the stress of the presidency, and his long separation from Alys, ends up softening Aemond a bit, hence him defending Io’s reputation and ultimately letting her go.

Did anything inspire your other OCs? Specifically "The Ones Who Married In" club?

I didn’t sit down and plan what sorts of characters would be in the “The Ones Who Married In” club. I was possessed by these random visions of them: a perpetually drunk Mimi, a perhaps not too bright but very sweet Fosco, and Malibu Barbie but make her Polish Ludwika, and I was thinking: “These people are ridiculous, this will never work!” But then when I thought about it more, I realized that Mimi, Fosco, Ludwika, and Io all serve strategic roles to help advance Aemond’s career, and so it would make sense that Otto and Aemond cobbled them together and shoved them into the family portraits. I ended up really loving them, but they weren’t a big part of my original outline for 1968. 🙂

How would Io rate them based on her friendship with each of them?

Fosco is definitely #1; they connect on an emotional level that is deep but also largely unspoken. Ludwika is a close #2; she’s Io’s shopping buddy but also witty, supportive, and very feminist in her own way. And then Mimi is a distant #3. Io pities Mimi and feels loyalty to her as a fellow Targaryen, and goes out of her way to try to protect Mimi from her own self-destructive tendencies. But Io, as a collected and self-reliant person, also has difficulty understanding and dealing with someone as messy as Mimi. And of course, once Io realizes she is super into Aegon, that creates some one-sided resentment of Mimi!

Do you have a feeling of what happened after chapter 12? What is the ending you vaguely see with Aegon and Io? What about Aemond and Alys?

Where I end a fic is really the last clear image I see of the characters, so I sadly don’t have a lot of specifics to offer. What I do feel is that Io and Aegon have children of their own (like, several children, maybe even 5+ children) and Aegon is present for their early years in a way he wasn’t able to be for his kids with Mimi. Io is a stepmom to Aegon’s OG kids and has a good relationship with them, but she’s only really close with Cosmo.

I also sense that Aemond has basically no contact with Io or Aegon, which makes sense considering his abuse of Io and the lifelong fury Aegon would therefore have towards him. Aemond is happy with Alys and their son (as happy as someone like him is capable of being); he does the ex-president thing and settles into a largely ceremonial role and advises Democratic politicians, although he is not very friendly with President Reagan.

And then my wild theory is that a Daeron/John McCain ticket ends up winning the 2000 election and the War On Terror plays out completely differently!

And finally... 1968 seemed to pour from you like a fever dream. Does this mean something else might be coming to continue the Maggie's Suffering Sunday tradition?

1968 did seem to fly by, despite it being a longer fic at 12 chapters! I do have something planned for this Sunday... 😉 All I can say for now is that it is very weird, totally unexpected, and tonally a mashup of Comet Donati and When The World Is Crashing Down.

Does that seem impossible?? Think again 😏 I will be reblogging hints until Sunday! I hope you enjoy this new journey 🥰🐍

Summer Lovin’

The email you got looked like spam; there was no way you were chosen. The letter sent to your mailbox could have been from anyone, a joke from one of the friends who signed you up in the first place. But the production assistant on your doorstep with a welcome packet and all the information for your flight is as good as real, and there is no denying it anymore. You are headed to the Island. A summer full of flirting, dates, sex, break-ups, make-up, steamy secrets, and more drama than one woman can handle awaits you, and it’s all for the chance to find Love. Can you make it through this summer unscathed, or will this love game show be the thing that finally makes you break down your walls and give love a chance once more?

Part 1 Part 2

A/N: This story is based on the UK and US game show and the IOS game Love Island. But it’s with my little twist. I’ve never seen the show; I’ve just played the game, so don’t sue me if it isn’t 100% correct. This will have mature elements and themes and smut, so 18+ Minors DNI. You are responsible for what you consume.

Honeymoon-cc2/Eric.C Leahlillith Narcissa retexture + alpha-edit

Dudes, I can’t stress enough how much I LOVE how the highlights on this hair came out! I loved them so much, in fact, that I decided to also make an alpha-edited version without bangs. Two for the price of one!

There are several 4t2 conversions of LL’s Narcissa hair available out there, but I chose this mesh because smoooooth bone assignment and it’s animated! No two-tone retextures at this time, I’m afraid (making double the amount of retextures for the og and alpha was time-consuming enough), but I’m totes saving the idea for another time!

Legitimately can’t believe I spent an entire week, hours on end making this ShikaTema iPhone iOS theme. ☠️ Seriously every time I update, which is like once a year or two, I know I’m in for 30+ hours of work (this one must’ve taken me something like 60+).

My main idea was to have each page represent and highlight one of their iconic moments from Naruto up till Boruto. The split color screen caused most of my headaches, although finding high quality screen caps, editing them, deciding what looked best and coming up with ideas was not fair behind. 🙃 I tried to make the icons look like clouds, they sort of do? Also the “smile quote” lives rent free in my brain so I had to add it. 😗

[beannary]

I’ve been trying to make a rottmnt theme ios layout and god I’m so indecisive

I made this genius built logo thing for my Apple Watch which I’m obsessed with

And then I’m thinking of doing something like this for my app widgets but idkkkk

Idk if anyone has any ideas or suggestions because o fully have no idea what I want the end result to look like Asdfghjkl

[southconfessionpark]

These confessions are often boring and repetitive but I live for the edits you guys make 😂

thank u so much!! we love all our fans <3 as for the repetitiveness, we are definitely being a lot stricter now. we might mess up a little and get some similar stuff, but there are over 450 confessions on this account, its hard to keep everything new!!

i won't ask for people to scroll through every single confession, but keep in mind that if yours doesn't end up posted, that may be why

More for the mods but I have to say some of your edits for these asks are really entertaining. I don't know why but that random crying Randy with the superheroes made me laugh so hard. XD

thank you!! mod towelie really appreciates it :) i speak for us all when i say we have a lot of fun making the edits (i have a stock photo obsession, and mod leslie's art is so cute)

( this isn't part of the ask but whenever I click the rules, it doesn't show for me :[ idk if it's a me problem so that's why I'm saying it here but it might be a me problem)

it's not just a you problem... we're not sure why this happens!! we've tested it and it only breaks on specifically the android tumblr app, the browser version of tumblr is fine, as well as pc and ios. i'm not an expert on html or tumblr themes in the slightest, so if anyone has any ideas on how to fix it i'm all ears 😭

thank you for the confessions! i hope you're all having a great july ^_^

"Inside Out 2"

I've watched “Inside Out 2”, and there’s my notes:

Conflict expands on themes of first movie, and if the moral of first was, difficult and discomfortable emotions and memories are as important for personal growth as positive ones, here it is about not giving away basic emotions and good memories even while growing and building personality and ambitions. I’d say conflict of IO was executed in better organized form and it was easier to follow as it unrolled, but it’s a general flaw of sequels. It wasn’t so bad.

Interestingly, antagonist is motivated by striving for better future, which mainstream media usually reserves for protagonist. As someone who is critical to “destroy the past, build future on the ruins of it” philosophy pushed by media as role model, I can say I welcome this twist in formula. Pixar in general seems to handle “Well-Intentioned Extremist” trope decently, be it antagonists or antiheroes. Even characters who could be villainous in regular media defied expectations. (I honestly expected Val ending to be “bad influence”, in typical fashion for “cool kids” trope, but she’s ended to be sympathetic character throughout the movie and not the source of conflict.)

Main 5 kept (mostly) together for the length of movie gives room for interactions and dynamics that were limited in first one. Breakout star, unexpectedly for me, is Anger, he had the funniest scenes. I generally like the characters like that (Grumpy the dwarf, octopus Hank, Gabo in Wish… you got idea), but can’t say he was enjoyable to this extent in first movie. Maybe he just better works as foil for someone with opposite personality, rather than with somebody like Disgust and Fear.

Speaking about antagonists, I felt there was potential in Envy, even guessed if she ends to be twist villain before the first trailer. In the end, new emotions somehow turned less interesting personality-wise compared to old ones. There are still opportunities for the franchise unfolding, so likely their spotlights are in due course.

References/memetic moments in regard to first movie are scarce, but ones that happen are fairly unexpected (like cameo of certain brick joke), and don’t linger too long. There is also some shipteasing sprinkled over (but not too overt), which wasn’t a thing in original. (Mount Crashmore was a biggest surprise, by the way.)

One thing carried on from IO is, fairly hilarious one scene wonders, my favorite is one that wasn’t spoilered by promos, you know which if you have seen it) Worthy successor of Brazilian helicopter pilot. (I feel fans are going to have a field day with them…)

Another unexpected moment is the scene that seems to be an explicit dig at industry of which the movie is a product. Animators that rebel when main five encourage them to let imagination run free as opposed to following demands of Anxiety who’s obsessed with sticking to trends in pursuit of success. One can wonder what it was about…

Conclusion: enjoyable movie, which doesn’t even seem forced, as it happens so often with sequels. It even appears to left open for further expansion, and I smell mini-series, maybe? It’s a good concept to be mined, frankly.

Oh, and I’ve got idea I couldn’t wait to work on so I didn’t wait for the movie to get released and started it in advance and almost done with. So… does it count as fanart if it doesn’t involve the setting and characters of thing, but deals with central concept of it? Anyway, soon.

[reflectionsofacreator]

So per the good ending, there are 15 Relics of the Queen's body that Io absorbs.

Canon Relics - 

Blood (protagonist)

Eye (Jack)

Claw (Emily)

Throat (Eva)

Breath (Nicola)

Heart (Karen)

Ribcage (Aurora)

Brain (Silva)

There are several more that are shown, but we're not told what they are -- The Successor in the Trenches whom Jack and Eva culled, Mido's Lost puppets that house 3 different relics, etc. We're told by Eva that Mido has his own relic and is a Successor, and given his transformation it's very likely, but he also likely lied to both Jack and Eva about actually having the relic. (Some proof of this is the fact that he put the Gilded Hunter [Miguel's Lost] in his own crypt, where he was supposed to be sealed)

Regardless, only 8 relics are named, and we only see about 12 of them, leaving three unaccounted for. I've been trying to theorycraft as to what the other relics are, given how some of the names we do have are a bit poetic (Breath, Claw) but also more literal (Ribcage, Eye).

Additional Relics - 

Spine

Skull 

Navel

Womb

Heel/Sole

Miasma

Fangs

Some of these feel like splitting hairs, I admit, mostly Skull/Fangs/Brain, but I was trying to think about different parts of the body that the Queen seems to use and would be important to the revenant.

The Miasma one is the most abstract, yet I think it's not out of the realm of possibility -- we see the Queen with a huge aura of warped blue surrounding her, and we're told repeatedly that it corrupts those around her. It might even be the Darkseeker Successor, given their venom and corrosive abilities. The Spine is the one I've put the most thought into (no surprise there, given my fic), and arrived at the idea that it's more defense oriented and also relates to marrow and blood production.

I'm not dead set on any of these, but I thought it might be interesting to put this out there and see what other people think!

Ultimately I can see why not all of them are named and given a full set of powers -- keeping each one unique and distinct while also following a theme is difficult without treading onto NPC's unique codes. (Red Shoes would be a perfect gift for Heel, but it belongs to Nicola, etc). Better to name and state powers for only about half of them, and let the speculation reign for the rest.

That being said, I wonder if we'll ever hear more about the other Relics if there's a sequel...?
