colors_tcg. Post here to negotiate trades with other players, or participate in player-run affairs!From mudfairy's reflective questions! I already kinda looked back on 2025, but this is a nice little food for thought thing to wrap up the year (and push away my grief post on goatlings) LOL.

( Read more... )This is just a sad post, more of a diary than blog of me grieving over losing a comfort site I used to visit on and off for years.
It's weird, I am still watching a site be alive, but know it's in its final sunset days.
If you follow me on Neocities you know I've been making a shrine around Goatlings, a virtual pet site around ... err, well, goats. It's recently been marked for shutdown by the owner, after years of lack of transparency for costs/upcoming updates, staff coming out about lack of communication, overworking, and shit pay ... and the fact that once it was revealed that the new admins that were coming in—after the owner had said she'd step down—had one of the admin's IP address match the owner's, and the PayPal buy links still led to hers ... it all kinda imploded.

pissed off... to be honest, I should probably wait until the last day of December, but I whole-heartedly can't be assed to wait when I'm done writing! If anything else miraculously comes up in the last 2 weeks before 2026, I'll add them afterwards.

( Read more... )Not quite the end of the month, but I'm expecting basically nothing else to happen tomorrow on a Sunday. In terms of my goals last month, I did not return to journaling, unfortunately, but I've been trying to keep up with my site diary at the very least. I have been doing exercise almost daily (on weekdays anyway) since getting my miniature treadmill, and doing more cooking in my rice cooker.
Although I didn't finish my deviantART mock page, I did do my second template, and third ... and to be fair, with my website gutting, that took a shelved priority.

( Read more... )God it pisses me off to be struck with the desire to change my layout, and I hate how strong the feeling is. I'm sure it'll eventually wean off, but it leads me down a mental rabbithole of 'I wish it was easier to have my content set up in such a way that if I decide to pursue layout changes it won't break the content' and 'I want full control over the HTML I'm using' which is what puts me off from static site generators.

( Read more... ) angryHalf a joking title, half not. It's mostly something I've been thinking on since I've caught myself thinking today that I should open myself up to custom website commissions that are more on the whimsical fun side and not Boring Modern Corporate (part of this was stress with trying to figure out my developer contract right now and stressing that I might lose it just due to various bumps in the road).
And the thing is ... do I want to? I enjoy making websites so far, I like working on my own personal site, and the concept of making nice sites for others, but like ... do I want to? Do I have to?

( Read more... ) annoyedI thought I'd give a shot at doing a monthly wrap-up like I've seen from some other people!! I don't know how consistent I will be with it (when am I ever with my habit attempts? /j), but it might be a cool little wrap-up retrospective that combines my website changelog, now pages, and anything else I might've not noted anywhere.

( Read more... )Inspired off smallcypress writing about her organizational/life systems and really wanted to try to document my own; truthfully I'm still feeling out mine, and as I read about other people's systems and try things out to see how they work (or shake things up), things change or may stop losing their effectiveness for the time until I return to them later.
I'll start from the most prominent that's stuck with me for years, and whittle down to 'use often', 'new to me still/not used as often', and 'used to do it, either didn't work or it's paused.
This is currently a blog post, but I'll most likely be mirroring it into an article page on my site, it just makes it easier to write it out here, then have a barebone idea of what I need to do for a layout/what to write.
As always, systems vary for everyone, I also need to remind myself that. Systems come and go, they grow and shape themselves with you, it's all what works for you by the end of everything.

( Read more... ) headacheok not counting the ones i gotta move (IM MAKING IT A GOAL TONIGHT TO FINISH BEARBLOGGING HERE!!!) ive got a few wip drafts for posts i wanna put on here and bear blog eventually and theyyyy include
tired
Challenge #4: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Pageooh, that's hard because i have a lot of pages i've saved over time and things .. i suppose of the fics i'd love to share is Piano Man by TrenchKamen as it's one of the few fanfics i've reread 4+ times, it's one of those Ace Attorney narumitsu fics that's hit me hard to the heart because it feels so ... human? messy and loving and explorative of all the characters included in such a way that i initially found it on FF.net, found it again on AO3 and lovingly have it saved in my bookmarks/recs for a very long time since then. it's gotta be at least a decade now (it might not be that long on AO3 but it WAS on FF.net for years)
Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!
hopeful annoyed annoyedAlthough I have a bunch of visual links about Sylvie, I wanna make a giant masterpost about them that's gonna be pinned/on dreamwidth directly so people don't need to explictly go out and visit other links ... but for ease of access, I'll also be linking them here. Images will still be present more for references.

thoughtfulI just finished reading an article by Haley Nahman talking about the way we save things (and the linked article by Joan Westernberg where she deleted 7 years worth of notes on Obsidian), and how we gather knowledge.
The bookmark is a kind of fantasy: Not just in the sense that we can convince ourselves, while employing it, that we will one day transform an old t-shirt into shorts, but that by using it we’re not merely passive observers of our social feeds, but active participants, explorers, collectors. Gathering resources for a life we’re bound to start living.
And it's such a weird feeling of ... I dunno how to put it. God knows my own bookmarks are full of things; tutorials for game engines, asset packs that I might use for projects, episodes for shows I partially watched, things I hope to revisit ... but it's also a case of like ... how many of these are framed in the light of someone who genuinely also struggles with memory problems (potential ADHD)?

( Read more... )Another rambly think piece; I guess my blogs end up being more of a dissection of my own self more than anything, or a study piece of something ... but I didn't always used to have such a divide of the personal self, and the 'art' self.
Back when I was active on deviantART, I just had the single account where I yapped about things I liked, and posted my art and fics too. There was no barrier between myself and the artist, and even when I first moved onto tumblr, I posted all of my art for the most part on my personal account, or my roleplaying account (which you can argue is also 'personal' and 'art' combined).
