That's why I do not like when the authors create in Twine instead of CS. It may look boring but it gives you three basic themes; white, sepia, black and you can choose depends on your preferences. We are talking about text game, after all, not visual novel so author should provide the reader comfort during long reading. Aesthetics is a secondary matter.

I don't get it. It seems that most authors in itch.io / tumblr community do not care about readers but create themes that they like the most and do not pay attention that font style, font color or background can be awful to read. This may not be good for the project too: doesn't matter writing is great and the story intriguing, if the potential reader gives up, because their eyes hurt from reading...

I don’t like the idea that a text game is somehow lesser than a visual novel and I don’t like the accusation towards authors in IF that they don’t care about their readers when most authors break their backs creating free games for the audience to enjoy, it is not simple and it is not easy and after all that to have someone say to you that you don’t care about the readers is not only false but hurtful. Do you know how hard it is to write a choice based game? Do you know how many hours of work weekly have to go into it? I’m right now looking into changing the text colour based on themes from a code another IF author just sent me but I will have you know right now that I won’t be disrespected nor be told what is good and not good for my project. I always try to treat my readers with respect and I demand the same in return

and if I said that lots of mizu/akemi shippers are actually mizu/fem self-insert and mizu/fem oc shippers then what?

hi very quick: please don’t bother interacting w me or my blog if you’re comfortable saying slurs you have no business using.

i’m fiercely defensive of my blog and its readers. i don’t tolerate hate speech or casual slur usage (unless it’s a reclaiming thing). if this rubs you the wrong way, please do us both a favor and unfollow me. thanks.

Let me make it real simple for y’all, since we’ve got some fence-sitters on here:

You vote for Trump -> Trump wins

You don’t vote at all -> Trump still wins

You vote Harris -> we have a chance to prevent another Trump presidency

Choosing not to vote isn’t a neutral position. You don’t have to, and in fact shouldn’t, love Harris. She will have some terrible policies, and we will fight them when we get to that point.

But we have to air on the side of harm reduction. Whatever damage Harris would do in office, Trump would do unfathomably worse.

A vote is not an endorsement; it’s a strategic move to mitigate something worse from happening. This isn’t about wanting Harris to be president; it’s about preventing Trump from becoming president again.

Trump and Harris are unfortunately pretty evenly matched atm, so we need as many people as possible to vote Harris in order to keep him out of office. I don’t think any of us can truly imagine how catastrophic another Trump administration would be, especially for LGBTQ+ folk, people of color, immigrants, and any other oppressed group.

Please, if you haven’t already, and if there is still time to do so in your state, register to vote using this link.

If you’re already registered but just want to make sure, you can check your registration here.

‘Duke is normal for a bat’ just get it over with and call him a slur atp

Y’all fight to find every excuse to ignore and exclude or other him or just make him fucking boring in comparison to everyone else when that’s not the case? Like if you wanna compare missions/adventures whatever, right that’s just less run time; but y’all extend that to his personality and it’s so weird. Y’all make ‘lack of experience’ everything about him and it’s so irritating bc 3 guesses as to why we don’t have much Duke stuff? Hint It rhymes with bacism. And the crazy thing is the Duke stuff we DO have IS interesting and it has so much potential not just for him but to expand Gotham and the batfam, and even outside of that due to his relationship with the outsiders, in general but y’all can’t stomach that a black boy (BOY! Bc don’t get me started on the adultification to justify ignoring him in order to infantilize ur white faves) can be interesting or have a spotlight shone on him it’s so infuriating. I wish I could blast this into y’all’s brains over and over till you GET it

Hey Ladies, men who bitch about women’s outfits with dumb shit like “Men like The Chase™️” & “Women are gifts that should be unwrapped by a special man”, are admitting out loud he’s a predator who sees & prefers non-consenting women as consumable objects for male enjoyment he must outwit & manipulate in order to “win” aka get her clothes off.

It’s never about modesty. Run in the other direction.

Things they teach you in middle school science class: the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell!

Things they SHOULD teach you in science class: do NOT mix cleaning chemicals or you will chloroform yourself (or worse)

[It makes me sad that people are insecure about their writing. I see a post about reblogging if someone feels insecure about their writing skills. This is the post verbatim: “ If you would be so kind as to reblog this if you feel insecure about your writing skills.”

I saw that a lot on my dash the past couple of days when I check in. You love writing, yeah? You have fun when you do it?

If you say yes to these questions, then guess what? You are doing great and should be proud of how far you came! Like all skills, writing is constantly changing. Your skills are constantly improving when you practice it and find joy in the stories you share. The key thing is you having joy in what you do.

I get that reblogging that post is meant to show others that you feel the same and promote supporting each other when we feel down about our work. But you can have confidence in your writing and with your muses and still deserve that support. There’s no need to question yourself when you are doing what you love.

You belong in the rpc. You matter. You are doing your best and that is all anyone can ask for. You are enough. Be proud of how you developed your writing and be excited about future improvements you will have.

I know it’s a slight departure from my normal posts but I have to say something. In s6 ep.11 at the very beginning Bobby says that Buck has an allergy to naproxen.

Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory non-steroidal (not a steroid) drug used to treat fevers and pain, it’s similar to other medications such as Ibuprofen.

Meaning canonically Buck cannot have the following: Aleve, Anaprox DS, Mediproxen or anything else that has naproxen in it.

So if you’re writing a fic or something similar and you’re like hmm this character needs to take some sort of pain medication you should probably stick to acetaminophen’s such as Tylenol.

I would stay away from other NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) as they can have crossovers (like you’re allergic to some protein or something else in one that might be in the other)- but that’s doesn’t necessarily mean you will be allergic to both. Some people are just allergic to ibuprofen and not naproxen and visa versa.

NSAIDs:

Aspirin

Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)

Naproxen sodium(Aleve)

All in all do what you want, I just find this interesting- especially as a person who has a penicillin allergy with crossovers (meaning I cannot take anything that has similar properties to penicillin whereas other people might be able to)

Taking individual lines from a fic someone else wrote and changing them so they’re not a direct copy/paste is actually still plagiarism.

[arcane-vagabond]

Hey, friendly PSA that if I find out you’re copying my shit, you’re not getting a private DM that says like “hey bestie, let’s maybe not?”

No, you were dumb enough to do it thinking I wouldn’t notice or find out, so you’re getting called out publicly.
