Happy birthday to Shouto! I did this super quick so it looks kinda sloppy. I really love timeskip Shouto's hair style, and more mature jawline.
I was in such a hurry because I saw 1/11 art at around 11:35 PM and was like, oh shit, I forgot all about Shouto day!! so I got to sketching reeeeal fast (amazed that I got his face shape right the first time when I kept on struggling just last week). When I was about to upload the pic, I noticed there weren't a lot of posts on his Bluesky birthday tag yet.
That's when I realized it just turned 1/11, and I'm early, not late. Anyway, happiest of birthdays to the coolest, kindest baby boy; I love him so much :"D

Optional: If you would like your secret's fandom to be noted in the main post along with the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret. If your secret makes the fandom obvious, there's no need to do this. If your fandom is obscure, you should probably tell me what it is. Optional #2: If you would like WARNINGS (such as spoilers or common triggers -- list of some common ones here) to be noted in the main post before the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret. Optional #3: If you would like a transcript to be posted along with your secret, put it along with the link in the comment! |

Some journal updates + resources! -- Icons & mood themes because my journal's currently on paid time. Yippeeee
kissed who compiled/preserved some adorable mood themes formerly posted on LiveJournal her site. The good thing about custom mood themes is that, once I've applied it, it stays like this even after my paid time expires. It's just that I can't upload another custom mood theme after, nor can I switch out of it (I wouldn't be able to use the custom theme again until I resume paid time).I really recommend doing this on a computer unless you hate yourself... This also requires paid Dreamwidth time.
( 795 words; instructions + some notes )
Anyway, I hope this helped! Sorry if it's long-winded or complicated; feel free to direct any questions in the comments. Also, this is just how I did it; there's probably a more efficient way than this :"D If yes, I'd be happy to know what worked (or didn't work) for you. Hope you enjoy using custom mood themes!!

Challenge #5: In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts.
I took so long to do Challenge 4 that they already put out Challenge 5 💀 Sorry for taking up more Reading List space!
Hmm I get asked this pretty often and I always think of stuff I'd never buy for myself but would gladly get as a gift, and how I should really make that list, but I keep on forgetting to do it, and now I've even forgotten what I was supposed to put in it.
Anyway. Three things.

Challenge #4: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Page
Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!
Oh man, I struggled with this challenge lol. This is especially weird as I am like, terminally online, so I should be able to come up with something, right?
Hmm. One of the things I like doing is reading myself into rabbit holes, so that's good ol' Wikipedia, fandom wikis (bless the people who work hard to keep them up-to-date AND provide the exact source!!), Fanlore, and TV Tropes.
In the same vein, data mine sites are also super cool. I dunno if other games have these (with the exception of live service games that do have datamines but mostly for providing leaks/build data), but FE: Three Houses and FE: Three Hopes have one each, albeit the Hopes one is discontinued so it's kind of janky/incomplete. I like using them to read the side conversations between characters because it's so easy to forget things with a huge cast + multi-route game.
Data mine sites are super helpful for writing fanfics, not just for fact-checking, but also for inspiration purposes, because of the little factoids that crop up. Like, this character lives in a place known for dairy products but doesn't particularly like this cheese dish, but the character I ship him with likes that dish. Woah. Lightbulb moment!
Last year, I started using Ellipsus and also tried out 4thewords for writing. I stopped using 4thewords because the quotation marks turn out straight and not the "smart quotes" kind which was inconsistent with the rest of the fic I had already written, but I did end up writing a lot in the few days I tried it! If you're the kind who doesn't mind straight quotes and likes to gamify your hobbies, I think it's pretty good. I stick with Ellipsus because I like the UI and the snippet generator :)
Also, one tab I constantly have pinned now since I post lots on Dreamwidth is HTMLTidy; it lets me write with a rich text editor that converts to HTML so I can post raw HTML into DW easier. I don't really switching between DW's Rich Text Editor to Raw HTML because it sometimes messes up the formatting. If I don't have to use pics though, I just type straight into Dreamwidth using Markdown.
The peripheral web can be described as the outskirts of the core web, with platforms such as Mastodon, SpaceHey, Neocities, Discord and IRC chatrooms, Matrix rooms, various imageboards, and others, including various functional clones of core web applications. It is the digital countryside of the corporate megalopolis. Advertising, sales, and data collection are substantially reduced if not entirely eliminated, providing better conditions for people to socialize in and a healthier experience overall. It is composed of web platforms that are hosted on separate infrastructure from the core web by individuals or organizations with various sources of funding. The peripheral web is discovered largely through word-of-mouth and personal research. In other words, bridging the peripheral web to the core web takes a significant amount of effort: the vast majority of internet users remain unaware of its existence.
The rapid increase in popularity of platforms like Neocities and Spacehey were a strong indicator that nostalgia was a significant force driving migration to the peripheral web in recent years. The community was first created when pandemic restrictions were just starting to loosen up. Nostalgia was often the first thing that stood out and appealed to new members: there is comfort in nostalgia, especially during particularly rough times.
However, Nostalgia would often lead to a regressive attitude within the space that made it difficult to achieve any sort of change. Users focused highly on nostalgia would value aesthetics as their primary focus which would lead to a distrust of new tools that did not meet their nostalgic criteria.
The organization began as a handful of individuals working to discover and address the needs of the community. As the community grew larger, it transformed into a loose organization composed of staff members. Finally, a well-defined organization formed at the core of the staff that created a distinction between organizers.
In its loosely organized phase, attempts were made to draw the whole community into organizing efforts. Results were poor because of low participation, and because the participants were mostly composed of the newest members who had the least knowledge about the community. We could not ensure an accurate representation from this setup, so we moved the decision-making as a responsibility for staff members. This would not work out either as moderators had varying levels of commitment and we could not reasonably expect them to take a greater responsibility.
