Doll In A Belfry

Lihi friends, I'm Miki! I am a slightly carcinogenic eldritch Glitterfiend sewn together from threads of lost hopes and patches of abandoned dreams. I love tea with a passion and swedish fish are my jam. I tend to write, rp, doodle, collect shiny things and be a complete anime trashcreature. I love pretty picture spam. Traaaaaaaaaaaaaaash. I play FR, Mycena Cave, and Pokeheroes. 30/NB/GrAce/They/She

DnD is a way to show your friends how bad you are at adding very small numbers under pressure.

People who recycle and put their trash in their pocket until they find a trash can and people who pick up liter when they see it and people who still cut the six-pack rings so animals don’t get trapped or choke on them and people who move turtles out of the road and people who stop for ducks and geese to cross all have a very special place in my heart. You are so good to this world and earth. I hope you know that.

Obsidian Tutorial - Making & Using Templates

God I love templates. Consistent layouts of notes AND less typing? I’m a simple man with simple pleasures. There are a lot of things you can do with templates, and with certain plugins they can get quite complicated, but the basics are pretty straightforward.

[ID - a purple decorative divider]

Head to the settings menu and find core plugins. Toggle on the Templates plugin.

[ID - a screenshot of the Obsidian settings menu, in the Core Plugins section. The ‘templates’ plugin is highlighted and toggled on.]

Under the core plugins section in the settings menu, head to ‘Templates’ to set up a few basics

The most important one is your template folder location - this is the place you’ll save all your templates. I have one in my Meta folder just called ‘Templates’ - I recommend making a similar, clearly named folder so it’s easy to find

The date and time format options are slightly more complicated additions: there are certain formats you can use in basic templates to automatically fill in date and time, and this is where you set how you want that format to look. Don’t worry about it too much - you’re safe to leave it as the default if you want.

[ID - a screenshot of the Template plugin settings in Obsidian. At the top, the template folder location is filled out as ‘00 Meta/Templates’.]

Once you have your folder location set up, you can start making templates!

A simple example might be a character profile: create a new note, and lay out the text the way you’d like it to look, but without any specific details in.

Make sure the note is in your template folder

You can now use that note as a template! You can insert it into a new note either by using the command palette and the ‘insert template’ command, or you can assign a hotkey (I use Ctrl+T) and use that

Congratulations, you have now saved yourself approximately a million years of repetitive typing, and the stress of remembering how you want to lay out character profiles, journals, blog posts, and any number of other things

Bonus - free templates!

I have a handful of templates I’ve made, and you can grab them for free here:

character profile

country

fictional organisation

fic

scene yaml

RPG NPC template (requires dataview & metadata menu plugins for full automation, but you can delete those parts and use it manually as well)

RPG location template

Monthly planner (requires dataview)

Note: some of these make use of the ITS infobox custom CSS - i wrote a rough guide to installing it here

got questions? tutorial suggestions? want to say hi?

[eggdesign]

Here’s a super long masterpost of my favorite coding and design related resources! I’m still experimenting with making banners so I hope it’s okay haha.

coding and learning to code

codeacademy - an amazing starting point to learn just about any coding language

w3schools - this site was honestly really intimidating at first but it’s got information for just about everything web design coding related, as well as tutorials, examples, and live previews for you to experiment with.

css-tricks - as the name suggests, it has lots of neat tricks to experiment with, and it’s not limited to just css either!

codrops - one of my absolute favorite places to go for more complex tutorials and inspiration for more experimental/unique effects. 

stackoverflow - this site is basically where people submit coding questions and the online community helps answer them. It’s a great resource and has the answer every single time I’m stumped on something

theme docs - seriously I can’t stress enough how useful this is. Please use this to your advantage!! 

CSS viewer - an extension that allows you to see the CSS used when you hover over something

@theme-hunter - an amazing tumblr blog full of resources and inspiration. Base code tag is very useful if you’re unsure how to start making themes.

These Flexbox Guides - Flexbox was super scary to me at first but it’s so useful! Please consider learning how to use it it makes planning layouts and responsive designs so much easier!

Accessibility 

w3 - this is the accessibility section of w3, which lists all the guidelines to being accessible and explains why it’s necessary

colorsafe - test color combinations to make sure they are accessible. This is especially helpful to make sure your text is visible to everyone if you aren’t going to do the usual black text on white background.

Colors

colourlovers - collection of beautiful user submitted color schemes

Palettab - a chrome extension to discover color schemes

Fonts

dafont - huge collection of custom fonts

Google Fonts - super easy resource to put custom fonts into your themes! 

whatfont - an extension that reveals what fonts are used on a page

Icons

font awesome - I think just about everyone knows this one, but there’s so many icons!!

linearicons - beautiful icons if you want to for for a more simple/minimalist route. Free version doesn’t have nearly as many icons, though.

flaticon - way more icons than font awesome and so many different styles! You can download the icons as svg, png, eps, or psd! (honestly I don’t see svg’s used enough on here they’re so great)

Inspiration

behance  -  super big collection of not only web design inspiration, but lots of custom fonts as well! I’ve gotten some of my favorite fonts from here.

dribbble - I recently started looking here for inspiration and I love it! I found this has more web design inspiration than behance does, which is more design in general. Dribbble has graphic design things too though.

awwwards - my favorite place to find web design inspiration. The designs here are actual sites you can visit which I really like. 

I may add more to this at some point, but that’s all I can think of for now. I hope this was helpful! Let me know if you know some that weren’t on here too!

[arielsojourner]

USA people! Buy NOTHING Feb 28 2025. Not anything. 24 hours. No spending. Buy the day before or after but nothing. NOTHING. February 28 2025. Not gas. Not milk. Not something on a gaming app. Not a penny spent. (Only option in a crisis is local small mom and pop. Nothing. Else.) Promise me. Commit. 1 day. 1 day to scare the shit out of them that they don't get to follow the bullshit executive orders. They don't get to be cowards. If they do, it costs. It costs.

Then, if you can join me for Phase 2. March 7 2025 thtough March 14 2025? No Amazon. None. 1 week. No orders. Not a single item. Not one ebook. Nothing. 1 week. Just 1.

If you live outside the USA boycott US products on February 28 2025 and stand in solidarity with us and also join us for the week of no Amazon.

Are you with me?

Spread the word.

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

May I present to you, nationalclothing.org?

It doesn't have everything, but it's still my first source when researching traditional clothing from other cultures.

[penanatomy-studies]

There's also this resource on historical fashion: Claire’s Historical Fashion Reference & Resources

[zheida]

another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this

[identitty-dickruption]

being abused or neglected really makes it clear how many things are skills that nobody really treats as. skills. exercising autonomy is a skill. listening to your body is a skill. resting is a skill. being liked and being loved are skills. nobody tells you how to do this shit because nobody even told me I was supposed to have learnt these things when I was a kid. I kind of just have to manually figure out what makes me freak out and work from there. unfair as shit
