Every once in a while I'll get engaged where a piece of media where one character has a highly specific and non-obvious speaking quirk, which I myself don't notice but another fan or friend far more unwell than me will catch onto and inform me of. And then it's like I'm part of the secret true universe and any fan content breaking the rule will, inadvertently and in ways I cannot fault them for, brand themselves an imposter.

[phantomrose96]

Garnet StevenUniverse does not ask questions. Jax TheAmazingDigitalCircus does not curse. Probably 80% of the Homestuck fuckers have some flavor of this but I'm not unwell enough for that.

[phantomrose96]

Sorry yeah adding mumblespash's dad as the third example. Get your fics right.

Grace, just out of the shower: "Now that I think about it, I dont think I've seen you bathe."

Rocky: "Hasn't been neccessary."

Grace: "You havent cleaned up once since we met?"

Rocky, huffy: "Rocky doesn't have 7-10 holes producing gross gross gross liquids! Doesn't need daily clean up!"

Grace: "...And your species doesn't have a sense of smell. Doesn't matter if you're unwashed and stinky all the time."

Rocky: "I am clean!"

Grace: "Even after being set on fire? C'mon, buddy. You can admit it if all that time alone left you a little sloppy. I certainly did."

Rocky: "Yes, I saw."

Rocky:

Rocky: "Fine. Rocky will 'bathe.'"

Grace: "...and I'll watch!"

Rocky: "...That! That was Grace's scheme! No, no, no! Not watch Rocky bathe."

Grace: "It cant be worse than you eating, and besides: you know its valuable for our species' shared future. We need to understand one another fully."

Rocky: "First ask watch eat, then Grace ask wash, what next? Getting ♪♬♫♩♪♪? ♩♫♫♪♬ an egg?? Fucking 𝄞??"

Grace: "I mean, if you're offering..."

Rocky: "Bad bad bad!"

Grace, laughing: "Sorry, sorry. You really dont have to show me, your comfort is important."

Grace: "But you do listen to me shower every day."

Rocky:

Rocky: "Point taken."

Rocky: "Grace can watch."

Grace: 🙌

wip page 08 - an all-inclusive wip page

preview / code

several people have asked for this one, so sorry it took me so long to release it!

featured image and sections for synopsis, themes/tags, links, project details, major characters, minor characters, and general sections like 'locations' and 'terms to know' which can be use for anything

footer section for additional info, but you can delete it if you don't want it

slide out menu with a second image, can be used for additional information or to feature an excerpt

pls like/reblog if you use, let me know if you run into any bugs, and pls don’t remove credit. thanks! ♥

additional info under the cut :)

if you'd like to change any of the icons, you can find more at phosphoricons.com

scripts are noted in the code so you can delete them if you want a javascript-free theme. without the javascript, the slide out menu will not work, just an fyi! delete the slide out menu at the top of the html section, and delete the script at the bottom of the code.

all images in preview via unplash.com. i recommend using unsplash or similar websites for images because they're free and high-res. (to create the character icons, i just crop the images into a square, upload into a tumblr post, save as a draft, and then right click the images for the url.)

theme two: airlock by ebrothemes

live previews: (one) (two) / install: (github)

this theme was designed around wanting a simple theme with only 2 colors and options for a couple photos in the sidebars, that also supports photosets with a carousel lightbox (ideal for gifsets) and has a night mode toggle. i'm really happy with it, and it definitely works a lot better than my past themes/pages. it should work well for both text-heavy and photo-heavy blogs.

features:

responsive

NPF post support

day/night mode toggle

2 custom colors (day/night mode colors can be different)

540px posts (option for 400px, 450px, and 500px, but it was designed at and works best with 540px)

custom text like and reblog buttons

optional photo in right sidebar

8 body font options with even more customization options for font size and heading fonts

up to 4 custom links

carousel lightbox for photosets

credits in the code as well as here

please like/reblog if you use

what if.... i update my tumblr blog theme

[sightseertrespasser]

Very niche subject, but the more I replay old puzzle games, the more I reflect on what makes for Good Puzzle Design. And the more I think about Good Puzzle Design, the more I realize The King in Yellow from DAWTDE is complete ASS at designing puzzles.

[path-of-paint]

I assume it's because his puzzles require you to do an independent in depth research on a bunch of completely random subjects BEFORE you enter the puzzles or else they will become unsolvable?

One project three sqares:

1. Unravel an unsatisfactory project

2. Freehand

3. Use the very nice but fiddly and time consuming finishing technique

Originaly I made the loop scarf about six (time runs) years ago. I was very happy with the look but I had to always pull that long tube over my head and I found that this - surprise - really ruined my hair.

So I unraveled it and trying to keep a similar feel made something up.

The ruffles on the finishing edge are made by knitting three stitches from one, enforcing the edge so it will Not roll inward and finishing with an i-cord. (And yes that edge took me as much time AS the rest of the shawl)

[2026-fiber-arts-bingo]

Knit ruffle edges are so intense, they take up so much project time (and material!) So worth it though. Your shawl looks so cozy and comfortable, I love the color gradient, and the ruffle finishes it off perfectly. Great work :)
