Hiii, would you mind it if I used the same rating system for my media log as you do? I'll give credit for finding it on ur site (and also credit to the people who made the system ofc)

i should archive my still "alive" tumblr RP blogs one day and just make a blog post of the ones i have been able to salvage onto internet archive (it was due to fucking around and finding out with tumblr themes that i learned some CSS/HTML)

and same as well!! your posts sound really fun to read :D although im on a hiatus myself with ffxiv (and i have to peep a little shyly cause im only at ShB), i really liked reading your 12th anni post, especially as someone who has had an MMO myself that i've played for over a decade and unfortunately dropped because of the community. it's a fascinating insight though to listen from people who have played for so long

It's always fun to meet other FFXIV players (even ones taking a break), so big hello to you! I have a number of posts on my idea list I want to write about - hopefully sooner rather than later! :)

i actually do have one for my sims :P they also use a little database for the name + their aspiration + generation count. like one of my site quote says "[on the verge of having a complete breakdown] i need to make some kind of list or perhaps sort things into categories"

I selfhost everything (tbfmy site isn't hosted on Neocites so I have room), but I compress my art using Caesium Image Compressor at 80% quality and then convert it to webp. This helps tremendously! With large painting, I don't notice much difference in visual fidelity even if I'm zoomed in

sighs i might just have to look into webp for hosting my full art pieces, most of the ones i post online are jpeg'd and 80% quality for social media sharing, but my older stuff isnt

Reading your thoughts on having a sona was interesting. I love that Sylvie is the mascot of your site btw, I love her haha. My sona Clover isn't like my other OCs in that she is grounded in her lore, has a character arc, etc. She's really just a mascot. She's a representation of me but not wholly, and she's also her own thing. It's hard to explain. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!.

to be fair, reading about Clover was what actually inspired me to think about the whole sona thing :P and what made me wanna go design Fluffy in the first place! though the concept of a sona has been something i've been thinking about on and off for months, it was just the nudge i needed

long drag of cigarette as bluesky is adding in regulations for no 'non-con' artwork + a plethora of other things. we're getting to the era where everyone has to draw/write characters literally saying 'i consent' huh. it aint my cup of tea, but it's like watching a hanging guillotine over all creative people
