#attention capture

[ferdifz]

Pro-tip (especially for the chronically online, myself included):

Before unlocking your phone or turning on your laptop, write down:

on a piece of paper,

using a ballpoint-pen or a pencil,

(And yes, these two things are very important) what you want to do on the phone or on the laptop.

…Because believe you me, the moment your laptop is on and/or your phone's home screen is in front of you, you have completely forgotten what you had wanted to do in the first place.

Huuuuuge life improvement!

The "UnTrap for YouTube" extension.

Just checked Video Page -> Hide Related Videos. Instant, blissful, life-changing relief. (On Firefox it first asked me to enable a setting in about:config but I just clicked past that and so far it's working fine for me.)

God words cannot fucking describe how nice it is to have that load relieved. No longer do I have to spend willpower fending off video recs which are literally optimized and selected for hijacking human attention and decision-making as effectively as possible.

P.S. Firefox on mobile (Android, idk about iOS) added support for extensions recently! (There's also Kiwi Browser, based on Chromium, which has had web extension support for quite some time.)

I need some people to understand that I will absolutely ship two characters who would absolutely never get together in canon simply because I want to. No I don’t think they’re canon nor will I look for subtext that they like each other. In fact, I don’t even want them to be canon. I just like the art and fanfiction man. Like their shippers low-key got something fire going on and I wanna be a part of that. It really isn’t that deep.

Packaged

Here’s something that will be sitting on a shelf at home for many months before it eventually goes to the dumpster. That’s how packaging works, it plays with our impulse, colorful wrappers with soul-jellying fonts, a familiar face slapped on the label to say that they approve the product, a list of technobabble to evoke emotion—sleek design…oops! I did again like an oblivious Britney Spears…

Nanago Fest Day 2 - "Long Train Ride."

This is the last piece I am posting for the fest, and out of all of them I like this one the most. It captures my nostalgia for the series, and the sense of a long journey, winding into a future end.

I had a lot of fun participating, and I hope to keep creating in this fandom for a long time yet.

I tried to draw sheep Machete and goat Vasco (but I am not good at drawing goats, at all)

oh my god, i got so distracted by a concept this anon sent about the loving family series, that i accidentally switched my focus on writing a oneshot for it instead 😭

guess that means you guys will be spoiled with not only a new chapter for a&a, but you people who have been thirsting for a loving family scraps will also be well-fed...

Watching Loki. I’m on episode 4 and I’m trying to see what the hype was about

[mentalisttraceur]

Now that Firefox on Android supports extensions like Stylus and GreaseMonkey, I can actually brutally fix my Tumblr attention capture problems, by just writing custom code to hide

all posts on people's blog URLs, and

all posts except the one I am looking at on post URLs.

I might do that soon. Of course, nothing will stop me from re-enabling it by going into my extension settings, but that's just enough of slow tedium to keep me from doing it unless it's important - especially on mobile.

Something I’ve been thinking about lately is that small moment in “Air Turtle” where immediately after the Daves lose yet another game, Leo says how sorry he is and how he’s doing his best as the mascot. This moment is so short but it’s honestly jam-packed with a whole heap of characterization.

His need to apologize for things clearly not his fault - especially when it feels like he messes up the job he was given despite doing the best he can (the phrase “it’s not about you” takes a new meaning when this is one of the lessons to be learned from that - that he is not always solely responsible for things going wrong), his need to save face and make a connection with an older adult man in his life (something he consistently does throughout the series - he’s got a few daddy issues, always collecting potential father figures, it’s no wonder he jumps at the bit to keep rapport), and the way he sounds and looks and the words he chooses really pushes how he is just a kid (“Mr. the Dunk, I’m so sorry”).

Like I know it’s a one off moment that doesn’t truly mean much, but when put against the rest of the series it works really well with the rest of Leo’s established character and helps in solidifying later concepts as well.

I made another one :D

I mean after Dream dropped the dsmp video of him and Techno bouncing around I kinda had to use it and believe it or not, none of the other footage was reused from the last one, in fact I still have some so there will probably be another lol... Anyways happy Friday, enjoy some Dream bouncing around and don’t forget to like and subscribe for more <3

I briefly fell in love with a cute girl next door kinda girl who sneezed completely uncovered and unrestrained over the table at the bar, then proceeded to take out a crumpled tissue to blow and blow her cute little upturned nose, before sneezing again.
