If anyone uses Obsidian.md for writing fics and/ or organizing oc stuff, here's a gif that I made for when you have to ponder your vault for 5 hours straight :3

Me encanta el silencio acogedor.

Me encanta la atención al detalle.

Me encantan las personas amables.

Me encantan las conversaciones profundas.

Me encanta el amor con presencia, verdad e intención.

Me encantan las personas que escuchan, sienten y lo demuestran.

some rentry alternatives to check out &/or use

carrd.co! it's pretty simple to get the hang of once you know how everything works, but the fact that you can only make 3 sites if you don't have a carrd subscription/plan is pretty sad

Carrd - Simple, free, fully responsive one-page sites for pretty much anything

A free platform for building simple, fully responsive one-page sites for pretty much anything.

straw.page :O) it's an easier & more free way to make websites—especially because you can drag things around, change sizes of things, and basically do anything you want!

people can also send you gimmicks (drawings & questions/messages) using the Ask Me Anything & Picasso feature! a few of the features are behind a paywall, but mainly everything is free to use!

Straw.Page

Straw.Page is the world's simplest website builder. Create unique websites from your mobile device.

fluffle.cc <- i haven't properly used this yet, but from what i know...the creator is a zionist? please do actually correct me if i'm wrong since i'm not educated on the creator's actions.

fluffle is pretty similar to rentry since they both use markdown iirc, & i think you could get used to it if you're an ex-rentry warrior /lh

mmm.page 👀 i'm EXTREMELY new to this site (just discovered it today), but from my knowledge, it's basically a mix of carrd & strawpage methinks...

i think this is a pretty underrated site builder (CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.) since i haven't seen anyone else mention it on here + i discovered this on reddit. definitely go check this out if you can!

mmm.page — Your Corner of the Internet

Websites don't have to be so cookie cutter. Make a website that feels uniquely you in under five minutes.

please suggest more websites in the comments or in an ask!! i'd love to discover similar sites like these, and i think other people would do too ^_^

How to Write with Markdown

A Primer

A free-to-read guide on how to use Markdown. Markdown is a simple markup language for prose and using it is a game changer.

one of the underrated things about markdown is that there are two different ways of emphasizing text: *like this* and _like this_. both become italics (like this), or more precisely, the <em> html element.

this may strike you as redundant but it allows for something really convenient.

when writing fiction, the convention is that both a character's internal monologue and flashback scenes are set in italics.

The whole class laughed. His joke wasn't that funny, she thought.

this works fine most of the time, but what happens if we want to emphasis a word inside text that's being italicized for other reasons? the convention is to un-italicize (romanize) it

His joke wasn't that funny, she thought.

i hate this. it doesn't feel emphatic, it feels jarring and out of place, like a single clear frame in shot with the blurry dream filter.

my initial response to this was to bold nested emphasis instead (wasn't that funny) and this is ok, though it feels a bit different.

but again. markdown has two different ways of writing emphasis, and many converters will let you nest it. importantly, html explicitly permits you to nest <em> elements, so *like _this_* becomes <em>like <em>this</em></em>

of course, the default browser stylesheet doesn't actually render this any differently from a single layer of emphasis, so this is random low level trivial, like how some people extend italics to their punctuation and some don't (which mainly manifests in whether pasting to ao3 adds spaces)

but what html permits, css can style. so a trick i use on my site and in my ao3 workskins is

em em { font-style: italic; font-variant: small-caps; }

(i'll cheat and use unicode here to demonstrate, because while tumblr does allow custom stylesheets, it's only via the custom theme interface that none of you are looking at.)

but this ends up looking something like

His joke wasn't ᴛʜᴀᴛ funny

and i think that's a much nicer way to nest emphasis, much more cohesive and has that emphatic cadence to it that bolding the text doesn't properly imitate

but since i'm doing seamlessly through html, i could change my mind. maybe i want nested <em>s to be bolded actually, or underlined, or in a whole different font - i have that power.
