(no subject)

tumblr completely fucked up my vibes the last two days with that update debacle, which also kinda fucks with my ability to draw. I'm trying to counter this by working on some text based stuff instead (website, this blog). This post is now way out of my normal dreamwidth posting hours, lmao

Website Stuff

• Finished reuploading Lost Kingdoms art challenge 2023. The little thumbnails look super satisfying all together, including the one that just links to the list. I'm very happy with how that looks.
• Finished changing all internal links to relative. I would like to go back through and update some of the formatting HTML like "i" -> "em" and "b" -> "strong" but it's less of an annoyance so thats kind of a "whenever" project. I know these tags are antiquated though I'm not exactly sure why/why the longer tag is preferred over the shorter one. Oh well. I'm just trying my best to make it sort of correct.
• Going back to working on the Places page though I am half tempted to start throwing out character pages at this point too. A lot of the more minor character ones should be fairly short; I'm not doing full writeups on anyone here o_o a
• There is also even more stuff I wish to drop hints about but I do not know the best way to do this very specific one I have in mind. At least, not without potentially hinting something thats easy to make the wrong conclusion

Art Projects

• Got a really stupid doodle of Thynarail from the other day. I was having this thought about xem getting a communication from an Elder Wyrm just to check in, and just continuing to be kind of a shit about everything. I don't know why, but I just feel in my bones xey would answer a phone with "Moshi Moshi", so its a picture of xem yelling into a phone. What a mysterious piece of art
• Otherwise I am feeling plagued by this sketchbook I don't like but feel the need to finish. It's got like 40 pages left. Really, really need to think of a way to burn through these.
• Even like a mini challenge would be okay, at least its something

Worldbuilding Stuff

• More details about canon AU have been hammered down. It is definitely frontloaded with angst stemming from the events of the original timeline past and present, though it gets much better later. There are now characters that exist specifically in this AU and have defined names and personalities (such as Temporal Wake, who is one of Aki's daughters.) What have I done
• Well anyway the main worldbuilding ponderings are going fine as usual. There is so much going on my general approach is different stories that take place in different locations and periods of time. Some of them are connected and some aren't. There is a bit of a through line but its not like a big one and done story
• I also usually stew for a bit and then suddenly write like I have been possessed.
