HTML isn't only for people working in the tech field. It's for everyone. Learn how to make a website from scratch in this beginner friendly
if you're learning HTML for any reason, i can't recommend HTML for people highly enough. it's a fantastic introduction to HTML and CSS targeted towards beginners who aren't technically inclined, and it isn't patronizing towards the reader for that. it's a very relaxed and kind (but informative) resource that even i reference from time to time (and i consider myself pretty good with semantic HTML).
definitely check it out if you're interested in making a personal site, or working with HTML at all.

“Tea, hiii!” Comm to his ear, Tango charges forward at TNT cannon speed, then skids beneath the widespread wings of some blue parrot hybrid who thought she could show off in the streets. She yelps and staggers, but he doesn’t wait long enough to hear if the thud was her own clumsy footing or if Jimmy shoved her at a wall. “Hey, listen- Jimmy’s lost his last skadoodle; meet me by Imp and Skizz’s; cool?”
TangoCam’s silence drags through honey and slime. Which is perfectly fine for Tango, who zigzags with Jimmy hard on his heels. He lunges for a composter, jumps from there to plain ol’ wall, and kicks. As he flips backward, the next crossbow bolt shatters into purple stars.
Good to know this man learned nothing from me last session when I taught him how to aim a fireball. Awesome; go team.
Scott and Pearl cozy up for cuddles. Jimmy and Tango paint the town red. Or… purple?

🖤 🧡 💚
Scott asks if he can use a comb and hair tie. Pearl waves him to the bathroom and examines the snacks he brought a little closer. Nuts and chocolate mostly, plus some overly decorated sugar cookies. Huh. Pearl braces her hands on the counter and lingers there, squeaking her finger pads on smooth stone. Say we do start meeting up for logouts. Am I cool with my partner bringing treats?
… Yeah. She is, actually. Scott probably wouldn’t like it if she described him as ‘courting her,’ but in a sense, that’s exactly what he’s doing. He saw someone he wanted to hang out with. He came onto her turf. He brought something nice to eat. He even brought clothes for her ward, as irritated with him she may be. Mobs, in the wild, work to achieve maximum self-satisfaction, then help their partners do the same. She and Scott aren’t co-spawning, obviously, but if they start meeting up at night to mess around, that’s kind of the same thing. As long as they’re both comfortable with it and mind the line.
And I like that. It might be nice to be fawned over for a while. Soup Group sort of fills that need for her: Impulse and Gem are so attentive, and they both like taking charge of meet-ups. Pearl tidies up, brings dessert, and picks a play to watch whenever she’s told to, but Impulse takes control of reaching out in chat while Gem juggles details. They’ve talked about it. Gem said it’s fun to plan “little date nights” and Impulse flicked his tail a couple times and admitted he enjoys “feeling like the boss.” Pearl gets that. He’s not even admin on the server he shares with wife and kids: that’s all Jewel.
Soup Group might not have officially locked in on calling each other queerplatonic partners, but… the idea behind it is nice to strew between the fingers. They feel… safe. Gem nestles up to her and never makes it weird. Pearl’s gone grayed-out at Impulse’s side. She stirred awake with pixels a little funky and smudged between them, but he was watching over her. Only pranked her slightly by sticking her room key in a water bowl (and then the ice chest) while she was out.
Logout partners with Scott. Scott, her partner. Ehh… Not sure I like calling him that, but we’ll see how it goes. Maybe it’s one of those things you have to work your way up to. Pearl makes a silent note to meet with Gem and Impulse and call them ‘partner’ to their faces before him. If she decides she wants to. Even when things got weird on Double Life and she slept fitfully on her AFK at night, Impulse and Gem stuck by her through it all.
She takes her comm, ready to shoot another message to Bdubs… and stops. She and Scott just agreed she’d take him to the back room and walk him through some logout basics. Which is going to mean putting teeth in certain places, intently focused on each other’s minds and bodies. And biting.
Which Bdubs will not be happy with.
Bdubs, who specifically told her not to be alone with Scott on a full moon night.
Bdubs, whom Pearl has been texting all night to confirm Scott’s not about to bite her.
Scott, who already bit her once today when the dragon brain took control.
She stares down at the screen, thumbs resting on the little buttons. Bdubs said he’d check in if he didn’t hear from her. She’s known him long enough to believe it.
If I tell Bdubs that everything’s fine, I’m just going to practice bites with Scott, he’s not gonna take that well. But I can’t NOT message him, or he’ll get pretty upset about that.
No one in this city is as intertwined with Scott as Bdubs is. They’re more than mayor and flock captain; they’re dragon and attendant. They’ve been together since Scott left First Moon City’s rubble behind, heading east to start a better life. And Pearl closes her eyes. Because…
… Bdubs already warned that Scott might bite if he gets upset under a full moon. Pearl’s wrist has healed up fine, but what if the next bite’s a worse one? What if Scott loses control and chomps her side, leaving her with an eternal empty space like Cleo? Or he pierces lungs, like Skizz-dragon did to BigB? Respawn can heal a lot. It can’t heal everything, unless you wanna go throw yourself in a bullet path and force a full-on reset. And even then, nothing’s guaranteed.
He’s never bitten me before. And I’ve hung out with him on other full moons. When the dragon had less XP, apparently. When it didn’t fight its way out so much. When he hadn’t already let it out twice this evening.
Bdubs might be right. Scott might bite. The thing is, Pearl doesn’t know him that well one way or the other. She only spent one season cuddled up to him. She spent another with the echo of every touch on his skin against her own, every heartbeat mixed with hers, but they were at each other’s throats. Even back in Legacy, he was her weird neighbor who “liberated” llamas from wandering traders and burned things on the front lawn. They weren’t that close.
We were ‘almost’ a QPR, though. They would’ve been, if she’d said ‘Yes’ instead of ‘No.’ That counts for something, right?
But she is not Scott’s best friend. She has never been. She never will be, probably. Even before there was Cleo, there was Jimmy. And before there was Jimmy, there was Bdubs- and anyone else who peppers the in-betweens.
And? Pearl blinks her eyes back open. Cleo… is another person Scott cares a lot about. Even though he also spends time with Bdubs. Someone has to teach Scott how to be a vex. If Bdubs doesn’t do it, Cleo probably will. Or Pearl could. Because Scott didn’t ask Bdubs or Cleo to teach him.
I can't believe I forgot there was another show from my childhood about jumping into books (and this one actually WAS my childhood instead of my siblings').
Heads up, Martyn came out as finsexual on his most recent stream about 11 minutes in
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TELLING ME I was about to go to bed but then I saw this and rushed to my drawing tablet while watching the stream. so happy he found a label he's more comfortable with!!!
for the people asking:
fin means "feminine in nature". gyne/gynosexual put an unnecessary emphasis on genitals that he wasn't comfortable with and he found a different label that moreso focuses on femininity regardless of genitals. the first one is the flag i saw him point out on the stream, the second is an alternative version of the flag without the symbol!
happy pride everyone, don't be ashamed of having niche labels. the human experience cannot be contained within a binary, don't be afraid to go out there and find (or even create!) a label that fits YOU!! (and it is also completely okay to not use any labels at all. you are wonderful regardless.)
Some fans of certain media will comb thru all the canon material for their ship and be like "ohhh this is soooo much content we're being spoiled!!" and then you look over at them and *all* their content and its like
I feel so called out whenever I look up a song from the Paw Patrol movies and the comments are full of people saying they looked it up because of the Paw Patrol movies.
Hey, was anyone gonna tell me Super Why ditched regular books and is obsessed with comics now and this is his actual canon, or did I just have to find that out on the Super Why wiki myself?
I like that we went from teaching children letter sounds and rhymes to "I guess we doin' alliteration now."
I've officially done all my summer errands, all my homework (except post-externship reflections on how my summer went), got help from IT to fix my student printing troubles, printed a bunch of files I needed, handled documents, stockpiled hygiene products like soap and shampoo for the next long while, organized my papers in binders with sheet protectors, washed sheets, took care of car, and cleaned everything (except under my bed and cleaning out the vacuum). Two weeks of work down so far too.
