I was just continuing my train of thought on the BoL?

Oh my god I’m so sorry I thought you were talking about the stupid His Dark Materials/Golden COmpass movie holy shit forgive me BoL deserves never to even exist in the same sentence as that abomination

Too bad really. Such a good movie.

At first I was like “wait, what is this ask about? What movie? Jurassic World????” but then I realized and how dare you

Is there any Tres Leches in the polyday queue?

Yes! Of course!

But fresh content in the ship has slowed down immensely in the last few months, so it’s mostly familiar favourites.

Hey Vees, I'm trying to doctor up my tumblr theme a bit. I've got it looking pretty good so far, but I was wondering. In the Effector default theme, it has these big blocky text boxes for text posts, and I was wondering if there was a way to make them more translucent, so that the art that I have as a background can show through at bit? Your theme is pretty snazzy, so I thought you might know.

Looks like on your theme, the class is post-panel, so look for something like:

.post-panel {

     background: #FFF;

}

You basically want to go into the .post-panel section of code, and find the background line. And change that line form background: #FFF; to 

     background: rgba(255,255,255,0.8);

That will allow you to decide the background’s transparency with that last number, which ranges from 1, fully opaque, to 0, fully transparent. You can also control the background of the post panel’s color by putting in the appropriate RGB triplet, eg 150,150,255 for a dilute, blue jeansy shade of blue.

You aren't wrong. My Changeling books smells very much like pine, and my mage book has a weird vanilla smell.

It’s not unpleasant, isn’t it? Personally I think it’s a great idea, making the books smell thematically linked to the series as a means of connecting the reader more.

Apologies for sparking the hatemail. My bad.

Lmao no worries. They’ll use any excuse honestly.

Like you would think I had 15,000 followers or somethign for the density of hatemail I get, but I guess I just really, really upset people by existing.

I'm also not trying to change your mind, btw. I'm just interested in how our interpretations and thoughts differed. I'm not arguing that it was a poorly done movie, I'm just highlighting what I thought was good, and how I interpreted things.

Oh whoops didn’t get this ask til I answered the last one sorry.

You’re welcome to your interpretation. It’s a very solid one! I don’t mean to insult it. It’s just that I’ve seen this exact story nine million times, with tiny little variations,a nd this one brought nothing new to the table.

But if you don’t have a ridiculous focus on un/friendly AI narratives, I suppose it might not be as exhaustingly overdone. There had been plenty of mainstream films and shows that do it, but probably not as many as I am acting like have done it.
