extended info about me + blog plans!
hai, welcome to my blog, i'm syn!! i'm a teenage (18!!) artist and i have autism + adhd. this blog is for thoughts or art like my drawings and stories since i 1. wanted a safe space and 2. love the accessibility of this platform. so, i believed it'd be best for me to publicize my works on here. :3 haayyy best friends, i love you!! /p haaiii to my lovely fiance, lili!!!! <3
my only goal here is to have fun! activity ranges. (school/trips) i should be able to post here at least weekly. :]
heads up !!
my main story, Criminal Bonds, involves sensitive topics such as murder/war, government projects like MKUltra, abuse (physical, sexual, mental, cult, etc.), religion with other subjects like queerness, race/ethnicity, and family. my other stories share some of these topics or more.
i do NOT endorse the glamorization or romanticization of any subjects in my stories! they are flexibly written using my REAL life experiences and research of unfamiliar ones (which i accept criticism for! this is heavily encouraged so i can improve my writing!!)
my rules !!
i don't talk heavily about politics or health outside of my ocs and their stories bcuz i frankly do not wanna get into deep details about myself and i can't handle such, however i support:
LGBTQ+, BIPOC (indigenous myself!), countries in dire need (Palestine, Congo, etc. I WILL BE REBLOGGING ABOUT THESE.), people with severe mental illnesses or disorders (systems, BPD, NPD, & more you're welcome!!).
i freely block and i do not talk about discourse. no explicit dni.
We should probably normalize not knowing information about your system like what an alter's role is, total alter count, who is fronting, etc, since that is actually very normal.

✦ chapter one → dividers 𝜗𝜚
OO. introduction : what are dividers ?
as their name says , dividers basically work to divide sections of a website , post , profile or similar . they can also introduce or farewell , basically framing a space where the rest of the information will go .
they can be simple , intricate , monochrome or combine lots of different resources to match the desired aesthetic . today , we are going to learn how to make a divider from scratch , step by step , using free resources provided by mae !
O1. resources
there are hundreds of sites where one can look into to find our base dividers ; lots of talented users make complex dividers and post them for everyone to use . it’s always important , if we decide to use those dividers made by someone else , to check the terms and conditions of use , and give credit where it’s due .
in this tutorial , we are making our dividers entirely from a blank canvas , so we are going to search for some simpler dividers and combine them into a whole new creation . some sites i recommend browsing for those are tumblr , pinterest , resource rentry’s , resource carrd’s , etc . . . in this case , and for the sake of this tutorial , i made a drive folder with lots of base dividers to use !
* if you made any of them and want to be credited / want me to remove them , please let me know ! there was no credit when i found them .
HOW TO : dividers - bmbiies ( click to see )
the colors , patterns , details and more do not really matter , since we will edit them entirely to match what we want ! the most important part about them is the shape and details .
O2. general ideas
when we make a divider , experimenting is essential . still , it’s always useful to have an idea in mind of what we like and what we’d like to implement to our complex divider .
in my case , for examples , i like adding curtain - like pngs that look like fabrics to add more details . for me , bows are also a must , in different shapes and lengths to give variety and that delicate touch . in this tutorial i will not be using pngs , though , as i’d like to approach the treatment of pngs and icons in another chapter of this series !
something i also really love in dividers is when they’re not exactly straight or just rectangles that frame our page . that’s why i love to use rounded dividers and borders to give my divider a better shape and more interesting details . we will comment that later .
O3. main shapes
for starters , i’m going to create a new canvas in ibis paint x with a blank background . since my dividers are often used for tumblr , i choose a size that works best with this application - the width i always use is 1280 pixels , and the height depends on how “thick” i want my divider to be . my go - to heightss are in the interval between 250 pixels and 500 pixels . today , we are going to choose 1280 px * 400 px .
then , we start with the fun part : adding our images ! when we click the little camera in the prior screenshot , our photo gallery will open . we will have needed to download our dividers beforehand , so that we can add the pictures and put them in place .
when we add an image , a little menu will come up in the bottom right corner of our screen . if you scroll down , there are several options to edit the size and positions of our images ! i like using the “zoom” tool since it keeps the image centered , and “translation x” or “translation y” to move my images around . the other options are also helpful but we might not need them as of now .
my dividers have three essential base parts : a top ( usually frilly ) divider , then the rounded divider below for the framing effect , and usually “mini” dividers that give a little more images . below are the three step by step and how i layered them .
in this chapter i am not going to focus nor explain how to add effects , colors , patterns or others to our dividers ; if you’d like it to be the next chapter of this series , just comment it or send me an ask ! i will make a tutorial on ibis paint x effects , tricks and such .
O4. detailing
so far it’s cute , right ? the aesthetic we like should already be somewhat visible and understandable , before we add more things . for me , i think it’s still a little plain so i’m going to add more details on the sides to round it up a little more ! something that also helps tremendously is adding shadows to each divider . as mentioned , i will show that in future chapters .
the change is big , and we barely did more than adding one image and adding some shadows ! it’s easy like that . for me , the center and the whole pink frills look now a little empty so i’m going to add simple little bows that might add more detail . then , maybe something to fill up the center as our main detail that will complete the theme . with that , we should be done !
O5. final result
and this is the final result of the divider i did , with a few adjustments . it’s now finished and ready to be used anywhere , in the simple colors we like !
O6. observations
wow , this was a fun yet difficult to make tutorial , and the first one of hopefully many more to come . feel free to leave questions in my inbox or comments and i’ll try to reply , but keep in mind i’m a university student ( engineering , in specific ) so i don’t have as much time .
please let me know what should be my next chapter ! it can be about icons , psds , gifs , any specific programs or applications , or just anything you want . reblogs and likes are extremely appreciated ♡
