There's that period you go through when you're learning a creative skill (be it digital drawing, animation, writing, audio production, game design, web design, etc.) where whenever you see/interact with it in the wild you end up—consciously or subconsciously—analyzing it to see how it was made

Trying to figure out how someone created the thing your looking at is background process that never really seems to go away entirely, even as you gain more and more experience in that skill area. It just becomes more of a background process than an active one.

how did you start up a website, mainly getting the domain? You ended up making that post about the cool link just as I was going down a rabbit hole of research on how to get my own website up for a bakery I want to start up years in the future.

Personally I use AMS Computer Services for my site, I've used them for an incredibly long time and they've always been very steady and reliable. Cheap too at 4$ a month! AMS also does domain names for you for about 20$ a year. You can buy a domain name separately from your hosting if you want, although that always seemed kind of finicky to me...

There are also free options for site hosting too of course! Neocities is a big one, and for 5$ a month you can get a custom domain name for your Neocities site too if you want. Nekoweb is also an option if you're looking for a free hosting service! Hmm, Nekoweb doesn't have file type limitations... I should look into if it'd be a good place to host an Ukagaka's network updates.

If you're looking more into how to make a webpage in terms of like, HTML and CSS and things like that, there are tons of guides out there to help you! I did a round-up post for them a while back, hehe.

Hi, I'm a long time editor of wikis (mainly on FANDOM, but I have dipped my toes into Miraheze wikis). I'm looking into starting a wiki of my own about a game called "To a T", a game from the guy that made Katamari Damacy, and I figured you lot would have a good idea about how to start and run a wiki, and make it look snazzy to boot (I have basically no CSS knowledge lol), particularly one on Miraheze (FANDOM would be easier but I've been encouraged to go with the other place).

hey, yeah, i got some tips! even some resources too hehe

if you don't know how to do something googling it is your best bet. "css how to add a border" etc

w3schools (helpful intro to css, html, js, etc etc)

flexbox guide

grid guide

grid generator

css gradient generator

looking at other wikis and how they use templates can be really helpful! if you wanna use a template, if there's not disclaimer/policy about cross-wiki template usage ask the staff!

accessibility checker (for checking if colors and etc can be readable)

miraheze discord (good place to ask for more in-depth help)

hope this helps :>

[]^[] < oh right! Before I forget!!! What is your website?

the url is talonswarpedforest.neocities.org, though it contains absolutely nothing and is incredibly ugly at the moment. ive been mainly playing with html/css in a separate document for now, just getting used to it all. it feels a bit like learning a new language in a way! ill make sure to include a link it in my bio once its ready, though :D

[missgryffin]

I love the way your writing is formatted on A03, do you have any tips? I started writing my own fic in Google docs but when I import my work into A03, it automatically does a double space. I don’t know if I have to manually delete the space or if there was a way to work around that?

Also any writing tips would be appreciated! Thank you!

Thank you so much!! I don't paste in from Google docs, but I've heard complaints from fellow writers about that exact issue over the years, unfortunately. If anyone seeing this knows a work-around, please jump in the comments! I have always pasted in from either Scrivener or Pages and have never had the automatic double space issue 🤷‍♀️

For formatting in AO3, I recommend this guide:

It explains all the basic HTML you need for formatting and also has a lot of CSS resources if you're interested in the more advanced stuff. I mainly stick to coding in images and messing around with the text formatting. I'll just save the fic/chapter as a draft and mess around with the formatting until I land on a style I like!

As for writing, my biggest overarching piece of advice is to just keep doing what works for you! Don't subscribe to arbitrary "advice" you read or see on the internet if it's not feeling right or doesn't make sense to you. Write when you can and have a place where you can jot down ideas when you get them. Remember that writing is creative play and an exercise in problem-solving (where are these characters going, how do they get from A to B, how can I weave in subtle hints to plot X, how do I show what this character is feeling without saying it, would this person really say/do that, etc.), so try to approach it with a mindset of openness and exploration. Read a lot and study what you read from a writer's perspective (this helps on the craft side of things). And just keep going! Writing is a muscle, and if you keep practicing, you'll feel yourself getting better at it!!

Hey there! I'm not sharing my name, so here I go by Breakdown or any nickname from that 💥

Breakdown is my main (potentially special) interest, and has been for over three years, so I've dedicated my main blog to him! My asks are always open to anything as long as they're SFW!

I mainly reblog fanworks of him that other people post here, but that doesn't exclude my own sideblogs, and I do post original things here also!

My Tags:

Breakdown Collection: 💥 collection

Fact Posts: Breakdown Fact

+ more but I forgot

More Info About Me:

My pronouns are she/her, my other interests alongside Breakdown are Doctor Who and my favourite musician. I love drawing and painting, and have recently begun writing fanfic (and yes, it's of Breakdown...)! I'm also into coding, mainly on Python, but I'm learning HTML and CSS right now :]

Dev Diary #22

Have some appetizer before the main course!

First of all, the new UI for NA+ is set up and ready to go! I'm so happy how it came out and the new tricks I tried out with HTML and CSS.

While I was at it, I also fixed that teeny-tiny detail with OTAD's UI that's been nagging me and encoded the rest of Chapter 3 to be released this May 27th on the new moon!

I've been spending the rest of the month re-constructing the assets — mainly BGM and SFX — I used for BTT back in 2015. Given the nature of Cloudnovel all of them were hosted to a third-party website which in hindsight isn't exactly ideal. You can still play the original export under the ko-fi membership tier, but the Ren'Py ported version will be far from the original, sadly. I'm actually looking forward to designing the new GUI for the revamp in the coming months.

Speaking of, I also began designing the GUI for the potential Short Circuit VN Jam submission. I'm not confident I'll be able to submit the full game on time, but I am enjoying working on the graphics for it.

I briefly mentioned it already, however while searching through old projects files, I decided to have some of the old visual novel prototypes be accessible for gameplay. They're my early foray into otome game development. They're cringe and a niche example of the early 2010s design direction of my earlier works.

Regarding ko-fi membership, I admit I'm a bit hesitant to go through with it. I've prepared all that I could, but I'm anxious of the results or lack thereof. I'm honestly scared to the point I might delay it a bit more *anxious screaming*

Take care!

— S.H.

PS. I almost forgot but Fracture's prototype is also up! I won't be releasing it until the script itself has reached a decent quality but it's part of the early access!

By the way, because I just found myself using this again - if you want to backup your blog, I really recommend using tumblr-utils as described in this document! I originally wanted to reblog the post where I first found this, but it was somewhere further down a reblog chain and apparently the op either disabled reblogs or deleted it, since it didn't work. So I'm just sharing the link to the document (written by user @/magz) here:

It's genuinely so useful, I've used to use Tumblr's own export feature but once a blog reaches a certain size this just takes super long (mine took literal days until it was ready to download), whereas here it was just a couple minutes, plus the folder as a whole is much smaller too. And if you set it up correctly (with incremental saves, which is also explained in the document) you don't need to download the entire thing every time!

Personally I did run into two smaller issues, one being that the download of embedded Youtube videos didn't work for me (despite running pip install youtube-dl). Maybe it's just a me issue that I missed something on the install, otherwise I could imagine that maybe there's some compatibility problem between the current versions of tumblr-utils and the youtube downloader.

The other, very minor issue (which isn't even an issue per se, more like a preference) is that there is no css styling applied on my backup, when I open the html file, so it looks like a really old website like straight from the 90s😅 I was mainly a bit confused about whether I had an error or it was supposed to be like that, because a screenshot in magz' document showed that their page apparently has some styling applied to it. I still need to look more into the documentation (btw, here is also the documentation on github directly, though I think the most important features are included in the document anyway), but as it looks you can add your own styling by either adding an override.css file to change some of the existing styles, or add your own entirely by adding a custom.css file. It would be super handy if there was also a way to easily pull your current styling from your blog to copy-paste it in there, but I haven't researched yet if such a feature exists (if you know anything I'd be happy about additions!).

But one of the best features for me was that it also allows you to export your likes. I'm sure I'm not the only one who sometimes runs into this problem that you like something, but maybe feel too embarrassed to reblog it, or may not want to do so for another reason (e.g. it's something nsfw, but you generally never share nsfw content on your own blog). [Btw I still encourage you to reblog posts when you can, as it will usually make the op happy :D But I absolutely understand why you won't sometimes.] Problem is that when the original poster deletes it at some point, it will be gone and you'll have no way of getting it back. However with tumblr-utils you can export your likes the same as your own blog. Mind you that it will have the same name as your blog, but will only contain your likes and not your own posts, so the way I did it was inside of my tumblr_backup folder, I made a likes folder and then just downloaded it into there, like this:

(For downloading my own blog, I did basically the same except one folder level above and without the --likes flag.)

I just wanted to point out this feature specifically because I actually completely missed it when I first started using this method of backing up my blog. I looked into the document again today because I wasn't entirely sure about the whole process anymore and suddenly spotted that likes flag and was like "👀👀 this has been here the entire time and I didn't use it yet??!" One thing to be noted is that your likes will have to be public for the download, otherwise it won't work, however you can of course just set them to public for the time it takes you to download them (which in my case was a couple minutes for about 4000 posts) and then make them private again, and all should be fine.

All credit goes of course to the developer(s) behind tumblr-utils and to magz for writing this instruction document, but I think that maybe this post helps at least some of my own mutuals who might not know of this amazing tool yet!

i dont want a cosmic ban

"go ahead, put anything" well i did create this account so that i could post blogs, or my art, or anything going on in my mind to get internet famous and magically start earning money so that i dont have to live this sick life anymore where i constantly see my mother struggle with money matter.

but you and i both know its not that easy. so, lets try and give this a chance asw. i keep trying new stuff and i keep failing. idk whats up? if im not passionate about it or i dont have talent? or something incredibly different that even god doesnt know.

ill just give you guys a warming intro and then move on to my professional presence and blogs.

hi! my name is piu (yes its like the pistol pew pew) and im a teenager. i wouldnt say im useless, if you ask anyone (except my mom) you'd figure that i have unlimited hobbies and i love trying out everything i can, not to compliment my ass or anything but im also good at them. im more of an artistic/creative person but im certainly intellectual when needed. mainly im an acting student but ive got alot of side gigs like filmmaking, instruments, script writing & poetry, animation and sketching, dancing, singing, sports, reading (yes im into THE classics), coding (im learning html and css for fun), gaming, researching and so much more, you name it, ive done it. "been there done that" core. even though i hear "youre the perfect daughter" from everyone i meet, i fail to hear it from my own mother and its okay. i have so much to add to this but deep inside i know nobody will read it so ill keep it till here and come back some other day when i feel the pressure of hopelessly scrolling on the internet.

xoxo, piu

I’ve always struggled to define what I do in one word. I draw, I write, I code, I sew. I keep creating because the impulse doesn’t leave me alone.

I really love the word geisha for its etymology. A geisha (芸者) is literally "a person of the arts" — gei (芸) means "art, craft, performance" and sha (者) means "person". In it's core it is not a job, nor a label, it is a way of being. A class.

Before I ought to call myself anything, here’s a shortcut to understanding what you’re dealing with, a list of my skills and interests:

𝕳𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖔 𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊, 𝖎’𝖒 𝕶𝖆𝖔𝖒𝖚

✦ Visual Arts �� digital and traditional illustration, oil painting, watercolor, character design, comics, mixed media, concept art.

✦ Writing – short stories, scripts, poetry, worldbuilding, narrative design for games and comics, introspective philosophical ramblings that I turn eventually into something else.

✦ Crafts – sewing, embroidery, fabric manipulation, sculpture, DIY repairs, customization of clothes and objects.

✦ Tech & Games – HTML/CSS, a bit of JavaScript, simple game development (mainly card games), game design, automations, layout creation.

https://gothharajuku.itch.io

✦ Audio & Video – video editing, experimental soundtracks, narration, music, video concepts with visuals.

Silly attempt of studying music production

✦ Mystical & Philosophical – tarot reading, palmistry, hermetic knowledge, lucid dreaming, dreamwork, psychedelic exploration, and ontological curiosity.

**Obviously, I’m better at some of these things than others, and there’s still a lot I can’t do — but probably not for long, I am crazy. There’s this restlessness in my mind (the voices),

in my soul that keeps me in motion:**

✧⁠*⁠。creating, training, learning, thinking. ✧⁠*⁠。

If you like my art, you can support my work just by following me across any platform — kaomunokami anywhere, if you didn't find me, it is because I'm not there. To the wealthbearers of forgotten fortunes, you can also support me through Ko-fi.

Given the proper credit, sharing my art is completely allowed and even encouraged, on any platform.

**You are welcome to DM me to chat about anything, be aware that I am Miss Talkalot. **

Reclaiming the Web & GenZ Comfort

I love witnessing the recent wave of people (mainly Millenials and especially Gen Z) rejecting social media and trying to recreate the more 'Personal' Web of the early days of the internet. I am Gen Z myself, and though I had social media for the purpose of promoting my books and keeping in touch with people, I seldom use them now because I am so enamoured by the idea of the Personal Web. Deleting social media apps has been tremendously helpful to my mental and even physical health; it just feels great.

The Personal Web movement mainly relies on creating your own website (with Neocities, for example), forums, blogs, etc. I am planning on learning HTML & CSS, so hopefully in the future I'll be able to join the club, but for now I think Tumblr is a good platform for simple blogging like this. Sure, it has social media aspects, but that disconnect it has from celebrity culture and short-form content really makes it a good start (not sponsored, haha).

So yeah, let's reclaim the internet and push away celebrity/corporate culture and AI brainrot. This movement makes me hopeful for the future generation. I can only speak of Gen Z, but I think a decent amount of people have realised/lived the consequences of the internet from a young age, also referred to as 'internet trauma' by many. So here's hoping we reinvent the internet to make it more human again (and protect children from it, especially at its current brainrot state). I believe in us.
