#slowly updating my page and making icons

[darkestrellar]

Hello everyone! As you can see (or may already have seen), I changed Svern's url, after at least a year of thinking about doing so.

I've endeavoured to go through and update all links on the blog and information posts, but there's always a chance something slipped through the cracks. If you encounter a broken link, let me know.

Over the past three or so weeks, I have also:

Updated the on-blog muse page (updated page/section formatting, revised and rewrote information, added new stuff, added a trivia and misc section at the bottom of the page);

Updated the on-blog verses page (updated formatting, revised and rewrote verse descriptions, fleshed out some a little better);

Done a Major and quite overdue update to the Carrd. I updated the url to match the new one on the blog; overhauled the rules page to bring it in line with the most recent version on the blog, then did the same with the muse and verses sections, and I updated their formatting/layout, which I had been dissatisfied with for a while. As I threatened hinted earlier, there are a lot more words than there used to be, but it also looks much nicer (imo).

There are still a lot of other things I want to/am considering doing:

New blog avatar because this one is STILL old and outdated

Possibly make a new icon border! If I do do this, it will be a pain, because my icon bases are horribly organised or need remaking due to how I've gone about editing/making them in the past.

Update the many and various other information posts on the blog to do with verses and meta.

Revise Pokémon roster page (idk how much will need changing).

Finally, an update on my life goings-on:

I'm doing better now, although I'm not quite back to my usual self. This month was the first decent month where I didn't have any major anxiety episodes since March-April. I still have not gotten to have counselling like I was supposed to because (gestures in an annoyed manner) the waitlist is taking forever and I regret not taking the doctor's offer months ago to get a different referral but oh well.

I still haven't recovered all my mental stamina and my imagination isn't working as well as I would like either, but it's mending, slowly.

My IRL life is probably going to get busier, but now that I'm no longer so prone to feeling like I'm gonna go crazy or spontaneously die for unknown reasons, I can cope with that and juggle it better too. I'll probably still focus on maintenance (across all of my blogs) over writing for now because of the fact that my creative inspiration is still kinda like fog, but at least I'm not completely on hiatus anymore.

I'll be working on things in the background.

File Garden Mirror of Splatrefs

hey peeps! I genuinely forget if i've already made this post because i've been meaning to for like 5 months, but the gist of it is that i've been working on a mirror of this blog on File Garden.

This will function as a backup of the blog in case something ever happens to it (e.g. tumblr dies, i get banned, i accidentally delete it and whatever else giant meteor etc.) But it will also serve as an alternative way to access the resources here through another website, as well as easily access all the files themselves rather than having to sift through photo posts.

The pros that come with this:

MUCH easier management and uploading of pictures and even videos (for me). Tumblr has a daily image upload limit and even then the images have to be split across many different posts, which makes it a days-long, sometimes weeks-long process to be able to add pictures. Also don't have to memorize tags. -

Clear organization; folders and subfolders mean that everything can be neatly in one place. Whether you find this easier and/or more convenient to navigate than Tumblr tags is subjective, though. -

Easy downloads! I'm always saying that if you need some references a lot, I recommend saving them for yourself and File Garden makes it pretty easy to my knowledge. I will keep recommending this, by the way. -

In MY experience, load times for images are usually much faster than on Tumblr (which is definitely my main draw for making it in the first place) -

It's not Tumblr, but an actual file hosting site. I know, that's revolutionary

Unfortunately File Garden also isn't perfect, so to be thorough here is also a list of cons:

The site is down ALL the time. I feel like it has constant outages which isn't really unexpected for a smaller site. The good news is that these rarely last very long - the bad news is that you might also run into errors. -

There are no folder icons, which can make it a bit harder than it needs to be to actually find where you want to go, which is annoying given there's no search -

While faster at loading image previews than tumblr by a country mile (especially when reloading the page), loading in the images can be really flashy. As in they literally flash white when loading in sometimes.

Going forward, I'll be uploading everything I upload here also to File Garden. I'm slowly working towards copying every major thing from the blog over to there (it's horrible guys, one copypaste at a time) so it should fill up over time and be usable as an alternate resource!

(Also, for anyone taking a look, please help a guy out in the endless war against admin error. If there's pictures in folders where they shouldn't be or there's thumbnail-sized uploads in some of the folders, shoot an ask here with the location and I'll fix it...)

That's it for this century's status update. I've been procrastinating a fuck ton on actually getting anything uploaded here... hope everyone has a good Sizzle Season and maybe I'll try to catch up at least a little bit.

Info Page: Personas, Asks, Requests, Art Trades, and WIPs!

Hello! Hello! I'm an Indigenous/Native/Cree artist who very much enjoys making art for the fandoms I love!

[Last Updated: February 2nd]

Personas:

Skellinore! The face and soul of this blog!

She's closest to my personality and what I'd want to look like! A cool skeleton.

I used my usual art style to make this drawing, which is just simple shading on the edges of the lineart!

She's also an OC, but that version of her is vastly different from the persona version of her; in intellect, personality, and whatnot.

She was originally made to be an Underfell OC! But never got fully realized until my Amino days.

She's made to be paired up with Splendor.

River! My anti/opposite persona!

River, she's everything I hope not to be; full of hate, bitterness, and bad choices.

I guess she's the closest to what I look like? Besides her being more lean, but that's because she just wanders bar to bar and ends up in endless fights.

Her arm can change into various things, mainly used for combat, she however was not born with it. It's slowly eating away at her the more she uses it.

Her design was supposed to based off a Hunter from Left 4 Dead, but she kinda looks like Alex Mercer.

My other art style of more detailed shading and lighting you see will be made by her.

She's made to be paired up with Markus.

CE-BE3! A very busy and tired robotic bee!

My hard-working, focused, and perfectionist side of me, which usually means I become tired more.

This busy robotic bee is based off a carpenter bee! Which means she's a lonely bee who makes her home in wood.

She's the one who makes sure everything gets done on time and tries to make this blog look presentable.

Her art style is one without lineart! Which takes a bit longer than the other art styles.

She's made to be business partners/friends with Slender.

Mr. Nubbins, AKA: Sheriff Nubbins! My chaotic and weird side!

Don't be fooled by the name, Nubbins is a 100% a female, she just likes how Mr. Nubbins slides off the tongue.

Anything this cat says is random and most times, doesn't make sense. She's a little ball of chaotic energy.

She's not actually a sheriff, but don’t tell her that.

She's my simple and cute style? Or whatever my art needs to be.

Made to be the pet of Trender.

Asks: [OPEN]

Send in an ask about the fandoms you see me draw for!

Ask questions about my AUs!

Ask questions of the characters I draw!

Either of your asks/questions will be come attached with a drawing alongside the information, or just information and no drawing. Depending on my energy level.

As for NSFW asks, it'll be a 10/90 if I answer it or not, who knows, take a gamble.

Asking the characters directly is something you can do, but once again, it'll probably be a 20/80 if I answer that one.

Fandoms for Asks currently:

Creepypasta [No Humans AU]

Requests: [OPEN]

Requests are drawings only, there may be a chance I add fun facts to it.

Send in requests of characters you want to see me draw from the fandoms I'm in!

Fandoms for Requests currently:

Creepypasta [No Humans AU]

Creepypasta [Only "Him" AU]

Castle Cats

Art Trades: [OPEN]

Capacity: [0/3]

I'll work with anybody of any skill level, I'm just happy to draw something in exchange for yummy art of what I like.

The basics for this is that if you ask for two characters, then I'll ask you for two characters back and other things along those lines.

I'll also do another type of trade! This one if for writers! I'll draw you something if you write me something. >:3c

The bare minimum for this would be 3000 words. I don't mind if it's a couple words short of this minimum.

Just send a DM my way and we'll be in business. 😎👍

Works in Progress:

SCPs Redesigns [3/10]

Slender Brothers + Cabadath Icons [Sketching]

Castle Cats Fandom Challenge: Day Three [Sketching]

Final Words:

Anyways, that's about it! I'll be updating this regularly on new updates and what not! So feel free to check it out from time to time.

I also have to remind everyone that I'm a slow updating artist. I wish I was as fast as most of you, but then again. I'm a cool artist who knows how to take breaks and take care of themselves. 😎💅

Have a wonderful day/night! 💛💛💛

July Updates

Hello lovelies!

I've been wanting to start giving more regular updates on what I'm up to and what you can expect from me in the future. So here I am!

Valhalla Skin - The Valhalla skin is heading toward the halfway mark. I have the main page finished at this point.

Other Skins - I have two other skins in the beginning phases of development, both mostly just have headers complete. You can see previews of these skins in the wip-previews channel of my Discord server.

Cherry Blossom Skin - I am planning to update this skin once I finish the Valhalla Skin. This is my oldest multi-sale skin and it is definitely overdue for a version two. All people who can provide proof of purchase for this skin, will recieve version two for free. I will be updating the icon font, adding a dark/light toggle, and just generally making the code neater and easier to work with. If there are any features you would like to see added to this skin, please feel free to message me here or post them in the suggestions channel in my Discord server.

Skin Installation Service - Some may have already seen, but I am now offering skin installation service through the services menu in my shop. With this service, I will install any skin for you including skins that are not my own. This service starts at $25, there are a few addons I offer for the package including graphics and member group color set-up. I am sort of testing this service out to see if this is for me. So it may not be a forever thing. If it goes well, I will leave it in my shop!

Discord Server - Interested in early previews of my works in progress, easy to access live previews, and just an easy avenue to ask me questions or comment on my work? My Discord server may be the place for you! I should also note that I am slowly trying to move all help requests to my Discord server rather than having people message me directly. Going forward, this will be where my installation guides point people for support. You can join the server HERE.

That is all I have for you guys for now, wishing everyone a wonderful summer/winter wherever you are!

Mini Update

Moewdy, I'm making this just in case y'all were worried about me & to give you guys a update on my plans & progress on my blog remake!

So firstly just a life update, still homeless, still working on that, but slowly it feels like we're moving forward, just don't know to what yet. It is also my birthday soon! 27th of this month to be exact, I'll be turning 22 alongside my twin @playedbetter.

Now blog updates

I am still going to remake my blog, I think a fresh start would be good for me, my mental health & my writing ablity, when this happens I'll archive this blog & redirect you guys to my new blog/account which will be Chaosmultiverse at that point, right now it has a random name while I work on it.

With this remake I am resetting the majority of my plots & characters, I really want a fresh start & I want to be able to account for the Community Verse system I am gonna be using to make things simple for me from the get go, this does not apply to server Community Verses (DC GC for example) or my affiliate blogs, which is right now just @playedbetter.

(When it is closer to the remake launch I will make a call for those that either want to maintain plots & ships, or want to figure ones out from the get go)

As for progress here is where I am at in a few different regards.

I have found a way of using photoshop on my phone, so have beening icons, a dash icon, and things for headers and promo pics, I still have a lot to make before I have the amount I want but I have made the templates

(There will be a second stage later down the road when I have reliable access to a pc again where I will be remaking my icon templates & remaking/making new pics for the other things, I just want pics for in the meantime)

I have made some of the important OOC pages like a updated rules page & a about the mun, when it is closer to being relaunched I'll make sure these are still up to date.

I have also made a new muse page & a credits page, both are WIPs right now, the muse page isn't still 100% settled, with some muses added & removed from time to time (plus lack of icons) and the credits page isn't done either as it's actively being updated as I use stuff or get permission to use stuff.

I now mainly need to work on character bios, I have a few done and these can really very in how long they take to make, but I want it to be easy to find info about my muses so I am not skipping this step or doing it post blog opening

Besides from the bios the other big thing is important Headcanons & Info posts & pages, along with templates for the info pages, since I tend to be canon divergent or have world scale hc's it's important to me that I communicate them.

There are also some muses I want to do more research on, specifically some LOL muses and DC muses, in general I'm trying to make sure I have a good understanding of my muses.

I unfortunately don't have any time estimates, life is really unpredictable right now & that impacts how much time I can put into this blog, I will say it is safer to assume it will take longer than shorter, so a few months at least, in the meantime I am semi available on discord for talking, plotting & RP'ing with the understanding it may not fit into my blog.

[galaxietm]

while i get back into the swing of things (and get the carrd link ready to share / slowly prep muse pages to link from it, honestly proud of it right now) i'm considering heavily revamping parts of this blog (like colors, graphics, etc) and also undertaking heavily fixing up the muse pages since those haven't been updated in- well; years at this point.

basically there's a lot i need to / am planning to update around the blog (because wowie it's been a while since a lot's been updated around here) and i'll list below what i'm hoping to work on (i dunno how soon, it's a loose timeline at this point)

maybe drop my disc.ord again?? then again i dont know who all is active anymore?? i really need to be active and reach out to people again lmao

muse pages (canon, ocs, and possibly a new page for request only / test muses, unsure)

eventually add a link on the icons of muses that are on muse pages to the gdoc pages for respective muses.

revamp general look / aesthetic of blog; either more simple or ?????, currently unsure.

finally?? update or post a new "mobile friendly muse list" / aka a tumble text post that possibly has links to character pages.

clean out drafts & inbox.

either make a new pinned post or update the current one. it's been a while and i need to update links. possibly add a few affiliates??

put out proper plotting calls to interact with mutuals more (i'm sorry?? i'm way too shy ya'll)

eventually post one of the new promos i made?? i swear, i've made 2 or 3 different ones over the last few months because i've been considering posting another one, because again, it's been literal years since i've posted one and i've been slowly getting into a better headspace than i've been in before.

decide if i'm going to go all the way with the joke i made the other day (aka making the blog one piece themed at some point, because lmao the brainrot? never leaving me again at this point)

[skyetrick-blockout]

New Blockout Theme Update Coming Soon!

Hey all! I'm just here to let you guys know that I'm working on a new update to the theme! I'm currently testing it out myself to hunt for bugs before starting the validation process, but here are a few features that I wanted to share ahead of time:

Improved NPF Formatting

Up to 4 custom links with icons as an option

Sticky headers

Customizable fonts for title and body

A Material Icons fill toggle

Photo/photoset additional rendering for click-through links and EXIF information

Content Source rendering

Technically, there is an experimental branch on my GitHub, but know that until it's verified, but I'll be starting the verification process next week. I'm also slowly working on a third theme right now.

I'm also thinking of switching to a single hub blog and showing off the themes as pages so that I don't take up so many URLs. These blogs will stay up, though.

Anyway, if you run into any bugs or feature requests on either this theme or in @skyetrick-streamerluck, then feel free to send an ask to the respective blog and let me know. I'm planning on making a Google Form for something like support requests, but we can talk about that another day. For now, I hope you guys have a nice day and I thank you all for your patience in these long breaks in between updates.

WeChat updates version 8.0.46 for internal testing! You can now listen to VIP music for free, even Jay Chou can listen to it

Recently, WeChat has updated its internal beta version 8.0.46. So in this new internal beta version of WeChat, what functional  HE Tuber  adjustments and interface optimizations are worthy of our attention? In this article, the author has sorted out and shared five aspects. Let’s take a look.

After having dealt with WeChat for so many years, Xiao Lei counted his fingers and knew that it had another beta version update.

The latest internal beta version number of WeChat is "8.0.46" , which features a decimal point and the numbers slowly increase by one.

As for the update log of the closed beta version? Ahem, I believe everyone knows it by heart without any introduction from Xiaolei.

"Optimized some known issues." Good guys, we have to find many new practical functions ourselves.

As an excellent experience officer for the new version of WeChat, Xiao Lei will update the experience as soon as possible every time WeChat is upgraded.

After using it for the past two days, Xiaolei discovered that WeChat was testing version 8.0.46, which also updated some practical functions.

It just so happens that WeChat versions 8.0.46 for iOS and Android platforms have been updated one after another. Today we will talk about them together.

No more beeps, what good things have been updated in the new internal beta version of WeChat this time? Xiao Lei immediately shared it with his friends.

1. Added "Today's Information" to audio

"Audio" is a function added in the previous versions of WeChat. It mainly integrates various audio control options of WeChat itself.

Since the launch of this function, Xiao Lei feels that it is not "complete" yet, and WeChat has been making minor repairs.

No, this time the new version of WeChat has added a new "Today's News" function in its internal testing.

Click "All" and WeChat will expand 20 selected pieces of information by default. Click on the article title to play the audio.

Click the "Add" button in the lower right corner of the article to add this article to the "Listen Later" list.

At this time, return to the "Audio" homepage and we can find "Listen Later", which is very convenient to operate.

Well, in addition to All and Listen Later, the homepage also has two tabs : "Friends Are Listening" and "Follow Updates . "

Click the little man icon in the upper right corner of the homepage to enter the "My Audio" page .

Here you can see our "Audio Listening Duration", as well as 3 lists for listening later, playback history and my favorites.

Clicking "Go to Publish" will jump to the homepage of our video account, where published audio works will be stored.

2. The audio player now adds the ability to slide right to display the original text.

In addition to the above changes, the WeChat audio player also adds a "slide to the original text" function.

Swipe right from the playback cover to the area above the article title. After the vibration feedback, let go and you can jump to the original article.

It is also very simple to return to the audio. Click the "floating window" on the article to jump back to the audio player.

Having said that, this function is still very user-friendly, making it convenient for us to jump back and forth between articles and audios.

But it would be even easier if you could jump to specific paragraphs and sentences in the article according to the playback progress bar.

3. New switch added to mini program page

In the personal center of the WeChat beta version of the mini program, a new "Discover Mini Program Personalized Recommendations" switch option has been added.

The specific path is: WeChat bottom bar discovery-mini program-little man icon in the upper right corner-discover mini program personalized recommendations.

When this option is turned on, WeChat will recommend mini programs that may be of interest based on mini program usage records.

It should be reminded that this option is still in grayscale testing, so don’t be surprised if you don’t see it.

Xiaolei feels that it may be that the personalized push algorithm is not perfect yet, which is why this function has been tested repeatedly~

4. Watch ads and listen to VIP music for free

In July last year, after WeChat was updated to version 8.0.38, music, audio and recently played buttons were added to the drop-down mini program page.

After clicking the "Music" button, WeChat will jump to a page similar to a music APP, where we can listen to songs.

At that time, WeChat and QQ Music launched limited-time activities. After receiving the VIP song limited-time experience card, you can listen to VIP songs for free on WeChat.

Source: Internet

In the latest internal beta version of WeChat for iOS 8.0.46, WeChat “Music” supports listening to VIP songs for free!

Important things to say three times: Currently only iOS, iOS, and iOS beta versions support it, and Android next door should be coming soon.

Well, at the top of the "Music" page on WeChat, a new column labeled "Watch ads and listen to the full version for free" has been added.

In the player interface, a line of labels "Watch ads and listen to the full version for free" will also appear under the progress bar .

After clicking on these tags, "for every 15 seconds of ads we watch," we "can listen to 30 minutes of VIP songs for free."

Maybe some friends think that only half an hour of listening time is not enough? WeChat has already figured it out for you.

No problem, WeChat provides the option to continue watching ads. As long as you keep watching ads, you can get additional free time.

Does this wave of WeChat operations feel familiar? Yes, it’s a bit like QQ Music’s “free listening mode��.

For some friends who only like to listen to music lightly, there is one less music APP to install on their mobile phones.

5. Storage space cleaning supports more categories

WeChat chat history and various files occupy the internal storage space of the phone, which must be a big problem for small memory.

WeChat has also realized that in the past two years, the updated version has made some upgrades to "storage space" from time to time.

The previous storage space cleaning has already supported the cleaning of cache and chat records, and a new option has been added in the internal beta version.

It’s this “resource file and chat history of other accounts”.

This contains resource files required for running some functions of WeChat, as well as chat records of other accounts that have been logged in on the current device. We need to remind everyone that chat records of other accounts cannot be restored after cleaning, so you need to operate with caution!

Please follow Xiao Lei's instructions for the specific path: My - Settings - General - Storage Space - Resource Files and Chat Records of other accounts in the bottom bar of WeChat.

Xiaolei applauds this feature with both hands. After all, as the use of WeChat takes up more and more memory, it is time to have more cleaning options.

Xiaolei also hopes that WeChat can continue to subdivide the storage space cleaning options in the future, so as to take the “burden reduction” of mobile phones to a higher level.

So weird thing I'm chatting about right now, I have an Etsy! Or, well had.

At the current moment my page is down, why? Lots of fun real life problems ;o;! The most prominent being the fact that my ability to get packages sent out has been horrendous, I think its because the packages are so small and bland looking that they just easily get lost in the mail. So, as of the last few months stuff has just seemed to be stacking up.

If you wish to read more, everything is under the cut including some behind the scenes in recent developments.

So I'm just gonna be 100% transparent about all the reasons my shop has been down:

•My wrist has been getting Really bad, I've had to purchase a wrist brace just to function with my right hand, it hasn't been fun.

•My dad and So managed to both have a hospital visit within a month. My dad had 2 serious viruses (idk the name of them. Funny enough one you can only get on cruises while the other was a simple fungal infection of the throat), while my SO had hydroplaned on his way home from work one morning and crashed into a tree, he had came out amazingly well, with just a few scrapes, bruises, and a pulled shoulder. Scary thing about it was maybe 10 ft away was a large irrigation ditch that would have easily swallowed and flooded his car.

•Depression and ED had a pretty solid hold on me, I was left with unfulfilled orders and by the time I would wake up the next day the post office was already closed. This was going on for a few months, all orders that were not fulfilled were fully refunded.

•My products are just not getting to me. I've been waiting on our old housemate to send me the rest of my Sakura enamel pins, this was back in... Feb? March? Just after we moved.

•Many if not all of my designs just don't sit right with me anymore. I still like them, but they need a heavy dose of updating to better suit what I have planned for them. At the current moment I'm experimenting with a new hand heart design for the characters. I will exsplain this further bellow.

•The last reason is income has been very strained because of the reasons above. For the past 3 years I've personally been doing my best to aquire a stable job, but oh boy has that not been fun. I'll be honest when I say I've applied to just about every job I was able bodied and skilled to do in my old home town, employers just don't want to hire and its been making it quite difficult to focus on my etsy store because of this.

Now, I have been working on the Etsy page off on the side for the past few weeks. I've been making a new banner, icon, I've got certain things lined up and will probably have my shop remained closed for a while till I have everything figured out.

Bellow is my current lineup on how I've been overhauling the etsy page:

This has been the best way I can organize everything I've got. Now, I was going to have the Sunflower Sun Sticker checked off but unfortunately I ordered 10 beta Keychain instead of 10 beta Stickers cause my ability to comprehend words is a little... Lack Luster. But again if I decide I like the Keychain, Ill keep the design idea!

Bellow is a comparison of Sunny's old desigm and the new one!

As you can see there is a HUGE difference between the two designs now. Which I'm quite proud of actually, I'm thinking after I get my Keychains in I'll do a giveaway with them so 9 lucky people can have the design before I even properly sell it which may be months from now.

Things I don't have written down are holiday exclusive designs which I'll be selling on my Kofi later down the road till I can get settled. These will only be sticker designs atm.

Any and all inputs are welcomed at this point as I've been slowly working up a new stock, waiting until I hit a 500 count on each item before I decide its time to reopen the shop, its alot but its something I just feel I need to do.

My theme + rules (including my mun page etc.) is all up and done. I just gotta finish wolfwood’s bio + verse page and i’ll only have icons left to sort out!

Shouto stared at the video window, the replay button obscuring Deku’s adorable freckled face. A small smile crept up on him, planting itself on his mouth before he had a chance to fight it down. He felt an odd sense of pride seeing this video, looking at the downbar and seeing “1M subscribers” next to the username DekuGames. He shouldn’t, by all logic—he didn’t even know Deku, had never spoken to or messaged him before. But he knew the kind of hard work it took to gain a following, and he’d been a loyal watcher of Deku’s for a long time. Even though they'd never met or communicated with one another, Shouto almost felt like he knew Deku just through watching his videos.

[[i’m gonna be slowly posting up some of the edit work I did for Ally’s YouTuber AU she did for @tododeku-week earlier this month!! Thank you so much for allowing me to help you out with this super kick ass ambitious project! I can’t get over how talented you are both as a writer and makeup artist/cosplayer!! I look forward to continuing to expanding this AU with you one day~ (in between all our other fic projects lmaoo)]]

[rainslices]

long time no update!! (what i've been up to, new project, etc)

hellaur tumblr people... it has been a while since i've written a proper update on things I MEAN, WELL, if you follow me on twitter, you would probably already have heard! but before i get into that, i first want to welcome all ye who recently followed. congrats for finding my tumblr!!! either that or you probably came from twitter. whichever route you took, be careful... because once you check in, you can never check out muahahahaha!!!

ON [JACKHAMMERED]...

first, look at this, i recently made a placeholder icon for jackham's itch io page!!! (it's currently an unpublished draft though)

this isn't even the final thing, but it still somehow slaps. why did i make a placeholder icon? it's to replace the old one, which was this

BLEGGH. i went ahead and made a better one, even if i'm the only person who can see it in its unpublished state LMAO. anyways. where am i now with [JACKHAMMERED], you may ask! good question over these past couple months, i've managed to draft a bunch of documents consisting mostly of worldbuilding and character essays. the jackham google drive has a total of (counts my fingers and toes) twelve docs, that's right, TWELVE, currently marinating in the drive. i didn't even know i had it in me! though here lies the problem- out of all these charming character profiles and location docs, only two of them are a 'plot doc'. two, 'cause the first one became half-finished and the vibes were just off whenever i came back to it, and the second one went a lil farther than half, but still suffered a similar fate.

in shorter words, i'm stumped. and i can certainly pinpoint it to not being able to narrow down jackham's scope. i know i want this game to be something great, something that is a culmination of all its wonderful inspirations, but my mind is in a constant tug of war between wanting it to be a chapter-by-chapter thing, or just one full game. it leaves me feeling scatterbrained and unfocused. and even if i DID know what i want, it still feels... well, big. my general plans for jackham feel ambitious for someone who's swan diving into renpy with 0 knowledge. im just one guy ! and so my solution to that is...

i'm making [In The Middle]

NOW I KNOW HOW IT LOOKS LIKE "another VN? but chaurchey ur already stumped writing for jackhammered, how can you possibly write for this one?!" the difference is that i feel comfortable in narrowing things down if i start fresh. i still want to work with the initial ideas i have for jackhammered, but i'm putting it away for now until i feel ready. at least with In The Middle, i hope to apply the experience i've gained and tackle jackham again. i'm sure boel, olned, and kade can wait for me in a couple of months. maybe more. so what exactly is [In The Middle]? picture this: the sun is slowly sinking, with you finally reaching the gate of your house after a long day. your plans upon touchdown consist of only two things: microwave dinner, and a well-deserved nap. but you would quickly forget them when a flash of light temporary blinds you- and now there’s a hooded stranger on your lawn; you have but four days to find out who they are and where they came from, before the inert copper megaminx in their possession becomes active once more. a newfound friend, a stranger, or perhaps something more; only you get to decide. "In The Middle" is a test game that's precedent to the production of [JACKHAMMERED]. the story will be separate, short, and non-canon (maybe! who knows!). it's mostly for me to test the waters so i can properly bite off what i can chew for jackham, while also having the freedom of experimenting! two characters and one outcome, but the choices you make affect the way it's delivered (nods nods). this feels like a scale i can work with, and i've already pumped out a bunch of concepts in a separate drive which makes me really excited to do this!! it just occurred to me how much the isekai concept keeps bouncing around in my head rent free, but with In The Middle, the opposite more or less happens. Pieve gets isekai'd to you

who the hell is Pieve

TADAAAA!!! meet Pieve, that very stranger whom that portal puked out into your lawn. naked and afraid, so to speak. and oh, the beauty of concept art... i take pride in the fact that their design isn't even final yet as i've got more things in mind i want to tweak before i give this chochi spawn the Chochi Seal of Approval. aaaaand i'm gonna leave it at that so i don't spoil stuff. after all, learning about them is the goal. writing sure is HARD. but god, so is reading. so if you sped-run and skimmed through the entire update post up to here, well done!!! i would've done the same!!! this took hours to write but i'm glad to just get this out of the way because my followers on here deserve an update too. in closing, i'd like to mention just how much i am proud of myself. not just with the progress i've made for this idea so far, but with just. everything. if you told the me from 11 months ago that i would all of a sudden be into making games, i would have not believed you. but here we are, trajectory of life changed and all! i hope you can look forward to [In The Middle], and soon enough, [JACKHAMMERED].

🥀🍯 QUALITY OF … EXPERIENCE? UPDATES. hello, my dear friends ! 🌼 I hope everyone has had a pleasant start to their week 😊 I know it has been a minute since I’ve responded to anything on here, & the short explanation as to why is … my mother was home for two weeks & it severely threw off my rhythm 😭 I had no peaceful mornings to enjoy in solitude, which are the hours that tend to be my best time to write. acknowledging that it would only be frustrating to keep trying to push through & get things down on the paper, I decided to do what I could, since there was much outside of writing that needed to be done on Ari’s blog 🌷 now, I unfortunately did not get everything done that I had hoped to by this time, & some of these goals are still in progress—but the blog is in a much cleaner & organized state than it was before this winter break ! 😊

to not fill the dash with useless information ( as I often tend to do incessant rambling 😅 ), I shall place the updates that may be most important to others first. you will find all things ‘ trivial ’ beneath the cut 🌿

MY RULES HAVE BEEN UPDATED. old information has been updated & new information has been added to align best with the way I currently run my blog 📚 I’ve adjusted some areas that had poor flow, removed anything that sounded redundant or repetitive, & corrected the many errors that I found within the page. the only new section added to my rules is the ‘ accessibility & accommodations ’ section. while it is not required that my rules are looked over by any who are already mutuals with me, you are free to take a look if this section—or anything else previously mentioned—is of interest to you ! 🌼

ARI’S ICON STYLE. she’s got a new one, & how lovely are they ? 😊 I am not done with them all just yet—I’ve had to edit them by hand, & I’m very close to finishing all folders 👀—but I think they look absolutely precious … I’m very excited to use them ! ( I’ve also found this process to be most inspiring for muse, oddly enough ? 🤔 )

ASK & ABOUT HEADERS. precious Stella / @theircurse back at it with her remarkable talent once more ! 🌼 Ari now has adorable headers & matching dividers for her ask & about posts. as to not make this post exceptionally long above the cut, you shall see them the next time I post a little something about Ari or answer a fun ask ! 🌷

AN UPDATE TO THE WAY I RUN THE ASK BOX. the ask box will no longer be closed, & I will rarely ever close it again in the future. I have decided to handle the ask box differently from the way I had been doing so before. as you all very well know, I am not fast 😅 I tend to take many moons to answer things, & though I have never received a complaint from any mutual about my reply speed, it is never not a worry in my mind 😔 I do think that ask memes serve as wonderful icebreakers for new interactions, & I now feel that closing my ask box limits the opportunity that newer mutuals have to start something with me. I intend to go through my asks at my own pace, however, but I feel like this decision will help new things get started ! 🍃additionally, my meme tag has now been linked to Ari’s pinned post ! 😊

I AM SLOWLY GOING THROUGH & RESPONDING TO DM’S. to those who have been patient with me & my slowness, thank you so very much ! 🌻 I am trying to answer everything that has been waiting for a response. I have made more progress than ever with this, but there are still many people that I need to reach out to—so if you haven’t heard from me yet, trust that you will soon ! 😊

OTHER UPDATES: 

added a picture of Ari to the top of her about section on her carrd. 🍃

updated my about at the bottom of the rules. 🍯

organized dm’s 

did that follower sweep / went through & unfollowed inactive / archived blogs 

learned how to crochet a bookmark … completely unrelated to the blog, but still a personal triumph 👵

// Phew! It’s been a long time since I wrote an actual post outside of my silly teasing! Let’s stop beating around the bush.

 Hey all! It’s ya Joy! I think I owe yall an explanation on what I’m planning and doing and what yall can expect hopefully in the near future! (I can’t make any promises due to a couple of reasons, but I’ll get to that!) So! This is gonna be long. Where do I start?

- First off, I wanna apologize for making empty promises on coming back and not. Actually coming back. If I had a nickel for every time I did that, I think I could pay off my last semester at college. There’s a lot of small reasons why coming back to rping has been tricky for me. 

1. Health problems (especially some nasty, chronic ones and mental ones) are rearing their ugly heads, making me feel nasty in times I don’t expect it. 

2. Making icons, promos and overall updating this here blog stresses me out. I’m in that awkward spot of REALLY wanting to update this outdated blog, but also being incredibly intimidated by all the things I need to make and update. 

3. Being gone for some time makes me feel stupidly guilty for. Being gone. I hate coming back after vanishing off the face of the Earth for a hot second. Curse you anxiety.

4. College is a bitch, especially the senior year. Not just assignments, but adjusting to a new life and new people. It takes so much out of me.

There’s so much I wish I could say and explain, but at the same time, I don’t wanna make up excuses. All in all, things haven’t been the easiest. but I DO really wanna come back and rp with yall. I miss you guys so so much!! I can’t make any promises, but I can sure make attempts to come back!

- Muse page has changed quite a bit since the last time I shared it. Unfortunately, a lot have been yeeted off the list at least for the time being. It’s mostly for the sake of trying to ease my stress and getting around to working on muses I feel pretty solid about writing. I do have the missing muses’ bios and such saved in documents though, so they’re not gone for good! If I feel good about the progress I can make on this blog, then I’ll slowly add more!

- Speaking of muses, one of these misses muses is my round bandana boy. But he’s not in the muse void! He’s back on his home blog. For the time being, I’m reviving @dreamybandee! In the end, I thought it would be easier to leave the dee with what he has instead of trying to start over. Plus, only being one muse I hold so dearly, he’s really easy to go back to if I’m stressed! If things do get too hard to manage on multiple blogs, I’ll go back to plan B and add him on multi. But for the time being, he’s sticking around on his own!

- I hate doing this, but icons are going to be a little inconsistent. I simply don’t have the time to go back and remake them all to make them consistent. So in the meantime, I gotta stick with a mess of different icons. I hope you understand!

- Promos, tag reworks, and other graphics are still being worked on! I’ve got a pretty solid start in adding a new theme and plan to keep going from there! I’m gonna slowly chip away at things here and when I eventually get around to slapping a promo or some related post on here, that’s essentially gonna be me saying “Hey! I’m ready! Throw your muses at me!” so stay tuned!

- Wow Joy. Owning two blogs and that many muses? You must be exhausted. Well rest assured. I’m definitely NOT gonna make another blog with other muses.

Is what I would be saying if I was a good liar. Which I’m not.

All you mutuals that dabble in the Sonic community, keep a sharp eye out for another blog drop. These three got a hold of me and there’s no going back. :’)

Anyways! That’s the gist of what I wanted to get off my chest! I’m so sorry I made a great wall of text here! There was no easy way to say all of this and this has been long overdue I feel. Sorry I couldn’t say or do anything sooner!

I love yall and I hope to see you soon! Have a good one!
