There Is A Light That Never Goes Out by @readingalot123456

Merry Christmas! My soul aches.

I've been obsessed with this fic since like September it is so good and tragic and I'm going to be thinking about it for years probably. It's just a very nice but also very sad look into Fidd's and Ford's entire lives together. Be not intimidated by the 300k word count read it now now now now.

the return of Human Bowser- i mean Regular Bowser.

Transcript under the cut ->

Panel One Peach: Ugh... meeting the parents. Are you nervous? I'm SUPER nervous. Bowser: Pff, no.

Panel Two Bowser: WAIT- What d'you MEAN you're nervous?? If anyone should be nervous it should be ME!!!!!

Panel Three Bowser: You've probably had this human thing locked down since the day you hatched- Peach: So what? That doesn't mean they'll automatically like me!

Panel Four Peach: You know how I am. I'm a perfectionist.

Panel Five Bowser: ... Not based on how my nails are turnin' out. Peach: It'll wash off...

Panel Six Bowser: C'moooon. They're gonna LOVE you. You're making it bigger than it is.

Panel Seven Bowser: At least MARIO isn't giving you pop quizzes on MAMMALIAN TAXONOMY. Like, I GET it already. Hair, milk, inner ear bones, whatever.

Panel Eight Bowser: It's basically IMPOSSIBLE for you to be the one to ruin this, so why don'tcha calm down.

Panel Nine Peach: HEY. I'm PERFECTLY CAPABLE of ruining this. Bowser: NOT IF I RUIN IT FIRST!!!

Panel Ten Peach: I make a bad first impression sometimes. Bowser: Oh, come the fuck on- you're INCREDIBLY charming. Peach: I'll probably throw up. Bowser: I might hit on his dad. Mario: Ohhh my god. Oh my god. Luigi: Hmm... Hey, Mario, should I even broach marsupials? You think that'll come up at all?

Translated the Dabi chapter! ദ്ദി˶ｰ̀֊ｰ́ )✧

(I covered the Japanese text and added in the translated text myself - this was hard)

Please take this with a grain of salt! My translating most likely is very rough - If anyone sees any errors then please let me know! ('��'* )

If anyone wants a full translated chapter of any of the other characters (Deku, Bakugo, Todoroki, Iida, Denki, Kirishima, Tokoyami, Shinso, and Aizawa) then please let me know! There are 2 chapters for each character, but I wouldn't mind translating any because I find it fun ('∀`)

Don't Cry Over Spilled Ink

I just released episode 8 and I'm booked until mid-July. Guests have included petsitters, poets, professors and everyone in between.

For reasons I don’t wish to disclose, I changed the name of my YouTube podcast from Spilling the Ink to Exercise Your Writes. It doesn’t matter why I changed it… the thing that impressed me is how easy it was to change it—thanks to technology. The new write up says that I don’t believe in boring people exist, and this is true. Everyone I have ever met has had something interesting to share. I’ve…

Trans girl invents new lossless image format

Over the course of a couple of days I put together something pretty significant: a new image format and compression technique. I'm calling it ShrinkRay (the extension being .sr) and it is made for a more efficient representation of pixel art. With this image: https://www.tumblr.com/potionslushie/759045761554055168/ as a test it compresses ~17% better then png and when converted back to png it still has some (albeit smaller) compression gains. Additionally since part of the compression is indexing colors I was able to trivially implement palette swapping with palette files (so far .hex only which means a lot of Lospec palettes).

So what does this have to do with p2chat? Well the compression gains will make sending and receiving chat images significantly faster but also the recommended limitations of ShrinkRay: maximum 256x256 px (with a scaling factor), maximum 10 colors including black and white as presets, will form the basis for p2chat's prototype limitations.

Whats next: cleaning up the code, documenting it, running further tests and putting up a repository. Later on though I have further compression ideas regarding simple shape implementation and a layer/frames system that's highly optimized. Though I'll be doing more important PierMesh work before that.

All that said I'll leave you with one last detail: all the code for this comes in at just under 128 lines.

Addition: it now supports animation/layers
