mr. apple's ramblings

Today was my first on-campus class for the new sem. Was alright. Feeling nice from making notes again. Even though I should be less tired from only having 2 units, I think I'm gonna be nicer to myself and not rewrite as much stuff for my notes, maybe I won't burn out on lectures as quickly. I'll just copy-paste instead (with credit, ofc, so I don't accidentally plagiarise). It's not like it won't help at all — reformatting/reorganising everything still requires me to understand enough of the content that I understand how to arrange it / link between notes. Well, also having everything in one place instead of a bunch of separate PDFs is more convenient.

Once again, asuraid's gone and accidentally reminded me of something lol

Here are two sketches I made of my Warrior of Light that I made last October! Grrr she's so cuteeee

I uh. know that this might be a weird colour scheme (if you have it enabled), but it's actually a lot better for my eyes! Any tweaks will probably be minor/just switching things around, because it's designed after my Warrior of Light (specifically my icon of them in a lavender field, also purple's my fav colour anyway). The base style and theme are actually the same as before — the theme is has a couple of layout changes over the base that I wanted.

My (very very unfinished) Neocities is also based on her, but I was TOO insane with the saturation and stuff in my coding fever state, and the secondary colour palette (blue and yellow) is cute but does NOT match her colours. If it get around to it, the secondary palette will be changed to purple like my current journal colours, and I might make a pastel blue+yellow+pink alt CSS for certain pages or something. I was actually considering using a pink+yellow DW theme since I loved the Cookie Dough Color Palette from A Hat In Time.

(For future-proofing, it's currently Base style: Transmogrified by Yvonne / Theme: Black Eye by dancing_serpent)

I like it quite a lot as is, but there are some bits where I think I might prefer something different. For example: the text colour and the blockquote style. Not sure about the blockquote, but I think it shouldn't be so bad to change the text colour myself — problem being that I don't feel bothered to right now, and I'd rather not ask someone to do it for me, because I KNOW that I'm gonna be picky and want to keep editing little things and it'll just annoy whoever I asked. (This is not an plea for someone to tell me they wouldn't be annoyed. It's okay. Sometimes people are annoying. I genuinely want to do it myself, if need be.)

Well, for now, I need to scour the journal style options again. I'm already using Style: Iris at Dusk for Modular by branchandroot / Resources: Plum Together for my projects thing, so preferably I will not be reusing that even though it scratches my brain nicely (which does very slightly make me want to work on my projects more, just so I can post on that crispy theme LMAOOOO)

Anywayyyy, the thing that's relevant to y'all, is that things MIGHT look different here soon-ish. Probably not, all things considered, but don't be surprised either way!

I can’t believe I forgot that I have a whole backlog of random thoughts and rants in a very specific Discord channel that I can repost here instead of scavenging from my other servers, where I more so just react to other people lol

So uhhh this post is just a self-reminder really :P

Unrelated but long live Teto !

I don't usually dream about the digital stuff (besides games, I dream so much about those), whether it's the internet in general or my online friends/mutuals, despite me being online quite near constantly, but I quite literally just woke from my first dream about Dreamwidth. Not sure how to describe it. It was like, focused on the physical environment of a house, with DW running on my brain instead of a computer*? Can't remember any posts in particular, but I do remember althea_valara being there.

*It's a weirdly common setup for my dreams about internet shenanigans, I guess my brain doesn't really like rendering phones/PCs/etc. Even when I dream about playing games, I tend to be inside the game, using my physical body to directly carry out actions. Anytime a device like a phone or even game controller comes into play, something goes wrong — not that my dreams are filled with things going right, but devices are almost exclusively finicky and broken. If attention is drawn to the fact that I am technically using a keyboard to play FFXIV in my dream, then I'll be awkwardly holding it, dealing with broken keybinds, and overall failing to play properly. If I'm using my phone to talk to someone, it'll have all sorts of weird trials to unlock and I'll pretty much always struggle to spell anything correctly.

It seems to be a cold.
