#it's great here

[hyperfixation-tangentopia]

I love how ridiculous this website is. One post and mole interest starts trending for like 2 days, Halloween trends on Christmas and Aroace trends on Valentine's Day, news is shared through a gay supernatural meme, everyone thinks it's dead and for a post to breach containment is to be cursed.

I love being able to write here. I love the g/t community. I love the fluff, and I love the kink. I follow a lot of size kink blogs and a lot of fluff blogs, and I just love all the different approaches to something we all enjoy. It's great. To everyone who has enjoyed anything I've ever posted or written, I appreciate you all.

The End of a NaNo, The Dawn of A New Revision Era, and TAM-TAM, BELOVED!! I’m not sure I ever posted proper NaNo Wrap Up Pictures, honestly, because it was a weird NaNo year, but!: Here’s the binder In Between lives in, here’s the notebook the In Between world/character-building lives in, and it’s also now apparently the notebook that the NaNo2022 not-so-short story lives in!! I turned the last two sections of this five-section notebook into a Novel, because of who I am as a person. It was so much fun.

But, more importantly: please behold the Tam-Tam that my dearly beloved friend made for me!! She’s ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and I adore her!! Here she is guarding Driscoll while they sleep, featuring the Very Driscollian Purple Mug I bought as my victory gift to myself (and also to have something delightful to drink caffeine out of once it’s time to dive back into revisions, which should be. Soon. Like. Maybe this week. We’ll see~~).

One of my biggest nitpicks in fiction concerns the feeding of babies. Mothers dying during/shortly after childbirth or the baby being separated form the mother shortly after birth is pretty common in fiction. It is/was also common enough in real life, which is why I think a lot of writers/readers don't think too hard about this. however. Historically, the only reason the vast majority of babies survived being separated from their mother was because there was at least one other woman around to breastfeed them. Before modern formula, yes, people did use other substitutes, but they were rarely, if ever, nutritionally sufficient.

Newborns can't eat adult food. They can't really survive on animal milk. If your story takes place in a world before/without formula, a baby separated from its mother is going to either be nursed by someone else, or starve.

It doesn't have to be a huge plot point, but idk at least don't explicitly describe the situation as excluding the possibility of a wetnurse. "The father or the great grandmother or the neighbor man or the older sibling took and raised the baby completely alone in a cave for a year." Nope. That baby is dead I'm sorry. "The baby was kidnapped shortly after birth by a wizard and hidden away in a secret tower" um quick question was the wizard lactating? "The mother refused to see or touch her child after birth so the baby was left to the care of the ailing grandfather" the grandfather who made the necessary arrangements with women in the neighborhood, right? right? OR THAT GREAT OFFENDER "A newborn baby was left on the doorstep and they brought it in and took care of it no issues" What Are You Going to Feed That Baby. Hello?

Like. It's not impossible, but arrangements are going to have to be made. There are some logistics.

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!

what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

what would I even put on a website?

the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !! here are some cool example sites to inspire you: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site
