Last I'm going to acknowldge this whole mess but "guy getting so angry that a handful of latinos were criticizing toby fox that he creates a sideblog specifically to call them racial slurs about it" is already a strong contender for gringo moment of 2026
Not even two weeks later and we have an even stronger contender for gringo moment of 2026 with the "this user from turkey is a white racefaking grifter based on the fact they write english like 'a white cathy from indiana' instead of what I imagine an uncivilized middle east foreigner speaks like. you should stop trusting 'global south' hyperminorities[1] who speak english too well because I find it hard to believe that anyone from the global south can attain a native-like level of fluency in my language" bullshit. Gringos on a fucking roll lately.
hi sforz! just wanted to know if you have any hobbies you havent shared with the internet yet. if you do anything creative besides gaming, and if you write anything. also wanna know what you've been reading and what you like to read the most. and i wanna know how the cat is doing. i miss the cat. bye!
hullo, anon!
i do write--i really do enjoy write, as a matter of fact, though it is indeed a hobby that i have not shared with the interwebs because i suffer from debilitating self-consciousness 😌 (once in a while i will spam a friend with something i think i am happy with, only to decide approximately five minutes later that it was a terrible, horrible, mortifying mistake).
if you haven't seen it, there is this twaddle i posted a while ago--though i am yet to gather enough courage to upload the second chapter.
as for the books--most recently i finished Thunderclap: A Memoir of Art and Life and Sudden Death by Laura Cumming, and i am currently reading The Children Act by Ian McEwan (i've been in a reading slump for the most of March, and i keep forgetting to update my Goodreads anyway.)
other than that i was really enjoying crocheting, but i famously fucked my wrist up and now everything is pain. it was a very relaxing hobby while it lasted, though! helped me immensely with the non-stop panic attacks i was having last autumn 🙃
i also really enjoy taking very long walks--taking my e-reader with me to walk, sit down somewhere and read, then walk more etc.--but i am having a hard time managing my agoraphobia lately, so that's a bit of a no-go... because i cannot go... outside.
Nohut is doing okay! he had a bout of allergies last month, and is now on daily meds, but at least he has stopped biting his paws, lol. just for you i am attaching some recent pictures of the chonk[tm]:
hope all is well with you, anon! if you've read any books that you liked or films you want to recommend, do send them my way, i'd love to hear about them.
* while entirely javascript-free, this static page makes use of the :has() selectors for some nifty read-on-hover effects. most modern browsers support it, but best to keep in mind if you want to make sure this page still remains viewable on a microwave.
this page requires you to have a basic understanding of CSS and HTML syntax, and also to be already familiar with how element classes and IDs work. manual editing is needed if you want to add more character boxes and filter options!
i recommend using a code editor rather than the notepad app while editing this page. personally, i use sublime text.
download links and basic how-to are under the cut!

important note: do not copy & paste the code line directly from the tumblr post. since tumblr uses ‘curly’ quotation marks, it will break the code. just copy & paste them directly from the HTML page.

adding a NEW FILTER — “universe” filters
this character page uses CSS logic to handle filters and pop-up windows (instead of JS). to make sure everything works, you just need to match specific IDs!
if you want to add a fourth (or more filter):
STEP 1 - INPUT
near the top of the <body> section, find the filter inputs:
copy & paste one of the lines, and change the ID:
<input type=“radio” name=“filter” id=“universe3”>
STEP 2 - LABEL
under the filter-container div, add a label that matches the ID of your new filter:
in the CSS section, find the FILTERS section and add the logic for your new filter. make sure to add one for each section, so the CSS knows when to hide your new filter too:
when you copy & paste a character box, you MUST give each one a unique ID, so the pop-up knows which character to open.
either copy & paste the section in the HTML labelled between BLORBO BOX BEGINS HERE and BLORBO BOX ENDS HERE, or use the section in the character_template.html file:
STEP 1 - UNIVERSE CLASS
assign the blorbo-box it’s correct filter, so the box knows where it belongs:
<div class=“blorbo-box universe4”>
STEP 2 - UNIQUE CHARACTER ID
assign your character a unique ID. for example, if your first character is char1, your second can be char2, third char3…
change the label for=“ and input id=“ to match the new ID:
the data box in the character pop-up shows a description when you hover over an item (or perk, or however you want to utilise this section).
this works similar to the ‘universe’ filters: the class for the item box must match the one for the description, so they are linked:
THE ITEM PART: give your inv-item a number (e.g., item-4)
THE DESCRIPTION PART: give your description text the matching number (e.g., item-desc-4)
✨THE MAGIC PART:✨ this is the :has() selectors at work! you need to make sure that in the CSS logic for data box, there is a new rule matching the ID of your new item (e.g., .item-4:hover ... .item-desc-4):
—
changing STAT BARS
this is the easiest part 🥹 you just need to change the percentage in the style tag (and update the text manually to match):
e.g.: —stat-value: 75%
—
changing COLOUR THEMES
if you don’t want to spend time customising colour variables, i have included four pre-made colour & font themes!
just change the ID for <body data-theme=“ to any of the four themes: laundromat, nightshift, kodachrome, and indie!
—
changing ICONS
this page comes with pre-installed phosphor icons! just head to their website, and change any of the icons (e.g.: ph ph-scales » ph-duotone ph-mask-happy). all icon styles are included.

if odette had a cent every time she was expelled from her school for unfounded accusations of chaos and mayhem, she would have two cents… which is presumably two cents more than what you have, so who’s the real winner here? (not her parents.)
sforzinda's favourite skyrim: special edition mods
available on google docs because it's a 15-page long monstrosity
—
hello, hello! i got an ask about skyrim mod recommendations, and having finalised a gameplay-ready load-order recently, i have decided to put together a (rather incomplete) list of the mods that i am currently using. as usual, it comes with caveats:
» if you are new to modding skyrim, i highly recommend following a dragonborn's fate instead.
» if you want something easier to maintain and plug-and-play, i recommend checking wabbajack modlists instead.
» this is very much an incomplete list wrt compatibility and conflict resolution patches. most of the time i make those patches myself for the mods that i use, so i am not always aware of those that are on nexusmods.
» i enjoy and prefer a decidedly 'dated' look for my game. i have such a soft spot for mid-to-late-2010s skyrim modding, so i tend to go for visuals and gameplay that reminds me of it. which means, if you are looking for an enb-powered 16k photorealistic modlist to make gifsets of ferns, this ain't it.
