#More Design Curation

Y'know, one thing I really appreciated about the Scott Polar Research Institute was the emphasis placed on Inuit culture and knowledge.
There's a large section of the space devoted to Inuit artworks and artefacts, and it's the very first one you see as you enter the building proper. You can't miss it!
They also currently have an exhibition called 'Hidden Histories' which comprises additional labelling throughout the museum focusing on the skills and contributions of specific members of the wider Inuit community, as well as female figures in polar history and notable individuals like Matthew Henson.
I do think this could and should be expanded upon and pushed further in future - in some places it provides fascinating additional context for the items on display, but in others comes off a wee bit more like an afterthought.
Nevertheless, it's a fantastic start that I noted and very much appreciated!
#I feel incredibly strongly about intersectionality and accessibility within history heritage and culture in general#What's the point in having this sort of stuff if you just lock it away so no one ever gets to see it and learn from it?#What's the point of any of it unless every person gets the chance to see themselves and their history reflected in heritage spaces?#I've devoted my whole practice as a conservator to that principal#And I appreciate any and all effort made towards it by others#I don't know how qualified I am to speak on the subject of curation and exhibition design specifically#But I flatter myself in saying I know more about this sort of stuff than some do#And again I say SPRI your efforts are appreciated#SPRI#Scott Polar Research Institute#History#Historic Context#Historic Artefacts

idk, crowsx3 design??? sdkjfh
the heads are all made of porcelain, and can rotate like that one horror short film with kevan brighting voicing in it
#artswin#quick sketch up#idk#tsp#tspud#crowscrowscrows#crowsx3#the stanley parable#stanley parable#the stanley parable ultra deluxe#ik im probably not the first one to come up with this but i have an idea for smth so i wanted to make a vague idea for a design first#my current idea rn is that. at least for my au. since theres three crows. there needs to be three sort of proctors for the game#and since proctors are people who oversee exams/officer with responsibility at a school#what im thinking is that narrator and curator are both proctors who “oversee”/“admin the game" (according to oxford)#or “one who is emploied to manage to affairs of another”/“person who takes charge of or acts for another” according to wikipedia#they both at least have control over the game (ie. narrator writing the script n stuff/curators museum etc)#but they need a third.#in 2013 tsp 432 goes missing. sees that the wheel needs to keep turning#the crows see him understanding the situation. and how he wants to keep the game going. so they appoint him as another proctor#thus timekeeper. who gets added on to manage the settings and time in ultra deluxe#i have more to say but idk just yet sdkjfhskdf#i feel nervous just bc idk if im stealing someones idea or concept for this. or even getting it wrong even if its just an interpretation#maybe later ill explain idk sdkjfkjsf

more side character designs now to the tune of the Kil sisters
#character design#art#Ciara Kil#Naomi Kil#you know what's fucked up? never heard the name ciara until a few months ago. it's pronounced with a hard c. like keera. that's fucked up#anyway her name isn't pronounced like that cause i said so. it's a soft c and you pronounce the i. see-are-ah#hard-c ciara doesn't fit her. soft-c ciara does. it's fantasy i do what i want. i makea the rules#anyway. needless to say im in love with them both#naomi especially im sorryyy she's so intricate. she's got so much little shit going on I heart her crazy style#shes very good at Doing Things Right but it is an active choice to do so. unlike Ciara who is just really naturally personable and likeable#and so even when she's a bit unkempt or pushy. she gets away with a lot because she's so damn easy to like#wheras naomi is A Choice. she Is Right not because she's likeable but because she puts effort into it#shes obsessed with her image (who else does that sound like? almost like they're products of the same environment or something)#shes Neat and Put Together and very formal. very traditional#and not just because of that but not helped by it she's very distant. just enough to be noticeable but not enough to alienate her#because since she's so curated elsewhere. everyone she's distant to assume that they're just not privy to whatever else is going on#they assume that SOMEONE is. and that someone just isnt them because they arent good enough. naomi has a way of putting herself in a place#where she is an unattainable goal. and that's all in her pursuit of Doing Things Right#i could talk about her for hours also. fucking love naomi#naomi and ciara and julian are all fun because they're all. So Different. but similar enough that if you look closely youre like...#yeah. yeah those three all came from the same place and you can TELL#even ciara who is generally more easygoing than the others. you can still Tell sometimes#case in point: she's stubborn as hell and not afraid to pick a fight to get what she wants#love her.#OC art#ocs

Scattered fallen london drawings
Some buggy bazaars, stone and a moon concept, more stone, the bazaar, a curator, and storm!
#fallen london#cpuldnt tell you why i wrote asmos 3 laws (of robotics) on the curator page#was probably taking notes at bristolcon? but i know the 3 laws so why?#moon design... excoted to hammer it out digitally ill have more success there#like half her face will be a diff colour probably.... and ill think about clothes#rn both her and stone are going for classic princess look#thinking about like melting wax hair for stone?#as you can see my pencil line style is indeed very similar to my lineless!#just more round overall i am great at circles#also paracetamol below storm pic. look. who can be bothered to crop

I want to get nightreign because of funny bird man, and beastly samurai and blatant lady Maria woman, but the main gameplay looks poo poo and boils down the worst frustrations of the series into an even more frustrating time restraint
#elden ring#nightreign#i like the character designs and the vertical gameplay/traversal#the moves are cool#kind of wish i could play them in a more largely curated campaign

the internet is so boring lately, probably because all of the good content is paywalled and websites that aren’t social networks are basically nonexistent
#i yearn for a beautifully curated website with varied content themes that only exists in my head#i yearn for a grown up rookie mag#i yearn for better ux and ui design that makes academic content more accessible to the masses#my dreams… are big yet honest���

Instagram is a deeply, darkly depressing place, but I did learn I've been purling upside down for how I knit and now my sock heels look beautiful, so there is that.
#hwaelweg rambles#hwaelweg knits things#at this point insta is 98% just trying to sell me things#and then very occasionally I'll see a picture my actual friends post from their lives#it's.....a little uncanny valley how artificial everything is#everything is designed to optimize the algorithm#and everything leads down the worst path#i like a couple videos about stretches/exercises for hypermobile joints and I'm suddenly getting a bunch of fatphobic content#i like a couple videos about knitting and suddenly I'm getting trad wife and mom content#idk I'm thinking about quitting it again esp given how cozy Zuckerberg is with the new administration#but it's my only connection to some of my friends and family#we'll see......#makes me appreciate tumblr even more as a place that actually allows you to curate your experience

As someone who doesn’t use Twitter and hasn’t used it since 2016, at this point I feel like every even slightly Twitter-esque (let alone overt Twitter-esque) design choice Tumblr makes gets yelled about because People Really Just Fucking Hate Twitter whether they realise it or not.
Which, like. Fair ‘nuff. I also hate Twitter, which is why I don’t use it. But nobody ever really gives these design decisions any time to percolate on this site in favour of kneejerk “they changed it and we hate it” reaction. Public likes are not new. Multiple tabs on a dashboard (some of them not things you opted into seeing) are not new. Having to block ads with external tools is not new (and it’s a big deal that photomatt said the words “ad blocker”, like, you couldn’t get that shit on any other profit-driven site, everyone is too scared for their precious monetisation)
The new sidebar, also, I think is pretty ugly right now but it’s probably going to go through a few iterations. I, personally, really wish they’d put the search bar literally anywhere else (maybe group search and discovery together IDK I’m not an UX designer) and I think accessing sideblogs has been too complicated for a while now, but none of those are the same as “this looks like The Other Blue Site”.
Like I’m not a graphic designer. I am certainly not a fucking UX designer, and I think those people are either all nuts or all geniuses. I’m pretty sure the new layout is being extensively heatmapped rn, and what changes it’ll undergo are gonna be done based on that, based on comments that are along the lines of ‘this change would make me more productive’ and less on “WEEEEEH CHANGE IT BACK CHANGE IT BACK CHANGE IT BACK”.
Your animosity towards change is not meaningful user experience information. You misclicking on shit more *is*. If this layout is really *that* bad and terrible, Automattic’s research tools will demonstrate it as such. The developers now are actually much better versed in Web 2.0 design, for better and for worse.
#van stuff#Also like yes I also hate the touchscreenification of desktop sites#as someone who does not have and does not want a touch screen computer#but that's not a design trend I get to dictate as I am in fact a minority user for this site#and the complaints I am tired of seeing are also coming from other legacy minority users of desktop#There are many good UX reasons to opt for a vertical layout instead of a horizontal one#and I think the majority reason is so that people who are on mobile and desktop simultaneously don't have to have two different brainmaps#for their muscle memory on this site#but like... the vertical sidebar is not the same as 'randomly swapping 'Close' and 'Post'' lol#the top of the screen horizontal bar still does things and there's way less empty space there now#and I get wanting negative space and less screen clutter#like... that's the ONE criticism of this update I can agree with#but that's STILL NOT THE SAME as 'arbitrarily fucking over the muscle memory of EVERY site user'#how many people on this site *ever* move out of their dashboard? I know I do!#but I think it's the minority of people considering the user-curated model of propagation this site is still#*actively* promoting#This site looking superficially more like twitter doesn't change that!#like the sky is not falling call me when they eliminate the ability to browse the tags in favour of a flat search#AGAIN#remember when we had that? Remember how *BAD* it was?#remember how much easier finding stuff became when we got 'browse tags' back as the default search?

small change going forward: talk tag stuff is mostly getting moved to @nowoyas moving forward. I'm not abandoning this blog I just feel like I should actually use my main blog at some point in my life and this was supposed to be a writing sideblog LMAO. will make decisions as I go about what belongs here vs. there but most personal bullshit and the like will be over there for now at least
#distant citrus sounds#admin stuff#I really want to like. clean up and curate this blog.#when I started out this blog had a very designated purpose which was quickly overrun by the fact that this sideblog got a bunch of follower#so I felt compelled to use this over anything else.#but this is a sideblog for WRITING FICS#so I may end up turning it into a general fandom blog and having nowoyas be more personal/interaction/general stuff and the like

ur grading people and if they get an f theyre blocked? my main you aint a kindergarten teacher this is a microblogging platform
yeah, that's why there's that function called blocking! :) cuz this is a microblogging site! that's what microblogging platforms have! :) so you don't have to put up with people's shit! :) interesting that kindergarten teachers where you live are capable of blocking people in real life, hope you had fun with that
#spot says stuff#this is the INTERNET You are the one who curates your own fucking experience and if i dont like someones vibes or what theyre saying to me-#-they are going to get blocked! ''grading'' people??? its called judging people and having set boundaries and self respect#im not here to conform to strangers tastes n the need to Watch Me i dont care about that more than i care about myself#i am not a ''content creator'' i am not someone with some power like a ''kindergarten teacher'' i am a stranger to All of you and-#-just another tumblr user and i dont owe you fucking anything just like nobody Here owes me anything besides base respect#n base respect includes watching what you say to people. i dont have to put up with strangers faults. im holding everyone here accountable-#-for their actions and words because i believe that you are capable of being a good considerate human person n acting sensibly#what would happen if i blocked a person on Tumblr Dot Com. the goddamn apocalypse? please. blocking isnt controlling people around you-#-its Boundaries. you can get over some random bitch blocking you on the internet. its not my responsibility if someone decides that their-#-entire emotional wellbeing depends on a *Stranger*#i have P@NSEAR blocked cuz i just Dont like their content. if someone ''gets an F'' from me for behaviour then MAYBE theres a REASON?#''ur grading people'' goddammit man who Isnt judging the people around them and the interaction they have with them#HOW many times ive said ''feel free to block me!'' in a positive way cuz of smth as small as a too gorey design. what do u think-#-blocking is ysee??? ''you are acting entitled'' because i AM! i AM entitled to having a good comfortable experience on the INTERNET#just like ANY OF YOU. please anon! you dont like my way of treating myself on the Internet do just that! block me! i wont throw a fuss??#if Anyone here doesnt like the smallest aspect of me judge me. i invite you to. judge me and if that aspect is too loud for you Block me#to get along with this anons absolutely correct n in place anecdote: Grade Me. give me an F. boot me from the school whatever That means#keep yourself safe and make your experience on the internet comfortable#i cant tell if youre one of those dumb anon askers who r just lookin for attention or fight Or a reasonable person but heres my look at it#entertain it before you disregard it. got me pissed off from the moment i wake up u dont even know bout my whole blockin system dear god

Nothing is gonna top Plutomon as a fucked up maternal figure for me, I'm afraid lol
#I KNOW I'VE SPUN MY WHEELS A LOT ABOUT THIS BUT AH#I don't think I'll be able to like any other iteration of Plutomon lol (preemptively hating the next Story game? Maybe)#Anyway#Plutomon is like a load bearing wall in my love for Survive tbh lol#BUT IT'S SUCH A FUN TAKE BOTH FOR PLUTOMON AND AOI#Like it's not just that she wanted to be more confident and be respected and have authority is that she was already in positions that#Should've enabled her to exert such assertiveness but her self-consciousness dutifulness and self spokeness (THE FORMER WHICH IS DEEPLY#INTERTWINED TO HOW SHE CURATES HER OUTER PERSONA TO BE ABLE TO FIT IN/FULFILL THE EXPECTATIONS ON HER BUT ALSO LIKE. HER IDEA OF MANTANING#HARMONY BTW)#Anyway all of those hamper her and end up with her being taken advantage of and such bubbling anger and resentment it's just fucking great#That in the end she ends up embracing a role that has power/authority by design#And won't hesitate to flaunt it and how it compounds with her rigid thinking ofc she always knows best and she can't afford anyone the#Freedom to make mistakes or act selfishly (and you know that last part is super loaded she really grew to Hate your guts!!!)#Ah I love her character it's got pretty interesting nuances and fine points lol#And it always feels great to spin my wheels about this

y'all, most of my tumblr is a time capsule from 2016 and earlier. A lot's happened since then. Changed continents, changed careers, got psychotherapy and then physical therapy. My corner of fandom was pretty much exclusively on Plurk, and not even consistently
then the OPLA happened, and it got me in a chokehold. I'd been back on my OP bullshit for over a couple years now, so it was kind of inevitable
But now I crave discussions and community and gushing over faves 💔 at the same time, fan communities feel so fragmented in the post-LJ era. it's hard to find like-minded people, but I'm doin' my best!!
#probably better to have more channels than none. but everything feels so curated; so you can easily end up in an echo chamber you know??#when tumblr launched in 2007...pretty sure I made a diff account and then promptly forgot about it#now that username is lost to time#it just felt too much like shouting into into the wind#instead of having a conversation with someone#which just felt more lonely and disconnected in my mind#plus I'm pretty “meh” toward social media in general#because stuff like infinite scrolling and For You sections are designed to hold your attention for longer than is healthy :(#but now I'm kinda out of the loop for social media ettiquette#and it feels a bit like learning to read social cues in a foreign country lol#ah well! here i am :>

i really should post pictures of the shitty tote bag decor i've been doing over the past week.
#i've made 99% of the buttons on it and it is so curated to my specific bad taste <3#i just need it to have a few more spn touches and for the buttons i ordered to come in and then it'll be perfect#i designed my own buttons for it! i really shouldn't be proud of designing a couple of buttons in canva but they turned out pretty cute!

i've been writing a lot in english lately and it has made me realise more than ever how funny my experiences learning the language were
#until recently i attended a non english-speaking school but in my country (as in many others) english is a mandatory subject#and listen i was not a particularly outstanding student in general but i thrived during writing practices#my teacher was always very complimentary of my work and i became like. the designated english friend#went to competitions etc#but i never had the heart to tell anyone that a good chunk of my familiarity with the cadence and structure of the language#came from reading fanfiction on wattpad & ao3......#rsmc.yaps#obviously there are pitfalls to this learning method but i feel like there is something to be said#about curating your learning experience so that you are actually excited to engage with it#and once you ease yourself into this rhythm of interacting with the language you can branch out into more 'professional' media#with that comfortable foundation#ofc i myself still have so much more to learn but i'm having a great time along the way
