Ikemen Sengoku Official Web Post: Message from the Developers

[ 22.06.2025 ]

Link to post.

As of the 22nd of June 2025, Ikemen Sengoku: Romances Across Time celebrates a major milestone, its 10th anniversary. We extend our deepest gratitude to all who have supported us over the years.

Ikemen Sengoku began as a small seed with a goal to become an “IP that would last a decade”. That seed sprouted when being watered with your love, and has since grown to become more than just an app; it branched out to stage plays, anime, merchandise, and much more. We truly believe it was thanks to your unwavering affection for the warlords, that this tree has grown so large and full.

Now, as we reach this point of our ten year journey and embark on a new decade together, we are proud to announce the launch of our new app: “Ikemen Sengoku: Romances Across Time – Eternity”

Why The New App?

The existing app has built a long and meaningful legacy with our playerbase, and every member of our development team is deeply attached to it. In preparation for this 10 year anniversary, we have held countless discussions about the future of Ikemen Sengoku beyond this point.

The team wishes to keep Ikemen Sengoku running and bring you joy for many more years to come. However, as the years went by during the long-term operation of the existing app, various issues have accumulated — issues that must be addressed.

Despite having received many requests regarding the system over the years, this app was built on a foundation from ten years ago. This makes any significant improvement works and updates extremely challenging, and this is something we have always felt sorry about.

In April 2022, the app experienced a major service disruption due to unauthorised third-party access, which resulted in the corruption of our data. The process of fully recovering the lost user data took over a month, and we sincerely apologise for the immense inconvenience and concern this incident caused. Since then, we have been working hard on reinforcing our security measures, migrated servers, and upgraded the system to prevent reoccurrence.

With the next ten years in mind, we carefully considered the best way to proceed and ultimately decided that launching an entirely new app would be the most effective and lasting solution. This new app will be our platform to continue delivering heart-fluttering experiences for many more years going forward.

About the New App

The new app, Ikemen Sengoku: Romances Across Time – Eternity”, will continue the theme of “a dramatic love worth putting your life on the line for”, which is the core of Ikemen Sengoku. It will introduce new experiences such as a commu (bond) points feature to bring you closer to the warlords, a cards system where you can enjoy voiced lines and beautiful illustrations, and a brand new story arc: Act 3.

From here on, all new content – including main story routes, sequels, and events – will be added to the new app.

Previously released main story routes and sequels will also eventually be ported over. However, only a selection of warlords’ stories will be available at launch, but will be included over time(※).

The new app will also feature major improvements such as enhanced visual storytelling with blinking character sprites and more immersive scenes. We hope you will enjoy visiting the old stories in their richer, more expressive versions.

System improvements that were difficult to implement in the existing app, such as free avatar item placement and free premium currency (the word used here was “diamonds”), will also be included, making for an even more enjoyable experience.

(※) Due to system differences, some distribution formats and bonuses may differ; further details will be provided at launch.

About Act 3

As previously mentioned, Act 3 will be delivered through the new app. This new arc will be kicked off with the release of Nobunaga Oda’s second sequel.

In Act 3, a new enemy force – the Ashikaga Forces – appears, travelling back in time to the warlords’ pasts in an attempt to twist history and seize complete control of the era. As the protagonist, you will witness your beloved's past firsthand and grapple with your emotions. It is a story about time travelling, that asks where your true happiness lies – past, present, or future? Act 3 will bring even more dramatic and emotionally resonant romances, as you're forced to question your values and confront new threats. In the main stories, sequels, and second sequels that unfold in Act 3, one of the branched out routes will feature illustrations and scenes of the warlords as children, offering a glimpse into their innocent younger selves. In the second sequels, you will also be able to experience a wedding ceremony with the warlords and illustrations, so we hope you will look forward to these heartwarming additions.

Additionally, for warlords who were planned to receive their sequels in Act 2, those will also be delivered through the new app. Please stay tuned for more information.

About the New Warlords

Starting from Act 3, the new faction – the Ashikaga Forces – will introduce five new warlords: Yoshiteru Ashikaga, Hisahide Matsunaga, Kanbei Kuroda, Saizo Kirigakure, and Sen no Rikyu.

These new characters with unique characteristics compare favourably with the warlords you have come to know and love, and will add greater depth to the Ikemen Sengoku world.

With a total of 22 warlords, there will be plenty of new encounters and interacting with these new warlords will also allow you to see new sides of the existing warlords. We will continue to dive deeper into each warlord’s personality, portraying them even more vividly.

Data Linking

To ensure a smooth transition for long-time players of Ikemen Sengoku, we will be holding a data linking campaign between the existing app and the new one.

Do note that due to system limitations, transferring all saved data and items will not be possible. However, we will do everything we can to provide fair rewards and facilitate a smooth transition.

What you can transfer:

Based on your “Charm” and “Princess Points” in the existing app, you will receive special items in the new app e.g. story chapter tickets, gacha tickets, closet space, and items to boost your “Princess Points” – please refer to the in-app data linking page to check which rewards you qualify for.

A new feature called “Sengoku All-Time Ranking” will be introduced in the new app, which combines your “Charm” and “Princess Points” from both apps for an overall ranking.

Some rewards earned in the existing app will also be gifted again in the new app. Details on the eligible events and bonuses will be shared in future updates.

※ This campaign is limited to players who have cleared the tutorial in Ikemen Sengoku before the release date of the new app.

Instructions on how to link accounts and the reward details can be found on the data-linking page. If you generate a data link ID by 8th of July 0000hrs JST, you will receive 20 story chapter tickets to use in the existing Ikemen Sengoku app as a special gift.

The Future of The Existing App

The existing Ikemen Sengoku app will cease to receive new event updates in September 2025, and will continue to host rerun events until the end of December 2025. From that point on, all new “long stories” i.e. main story, sequels, second sequels, and events will only be available on the new app.

...

Further details on Ikemen Sengoku: Romances Across Time – Eternity will continue to be published on the official website and social media platforms. We are working hard to bring you something truly special, and sincerely hope you will look forward to it.

The subtitle Eternity reflects our heartfelt wish for the bonds we share with you will continue for many more years to come, and that the love between you and the warlords last for eternity.

If Ikemen Sengoku, now a fully grown tree, has at any point in your life offered you sweet fruits or the comfort of shade, we couldn't be more grateful to have played a role in that.

Finally, allow us to thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts.

Thank you for continuing to love the warlords.

Because of you, they have grown stronger and now walk on a path leading to brighter days.

We humbly ask for your continued support of Ikemen Sengoku and its warlords.

SysNotes devlog 1

Hiya! We're a web developer by trade and we wanted to build ourselves a web-app to manage our system and to get to know each other better. We thought it would be fun to make a sort of a devlog on this blog to show off the development! The working title of this project is SysNotes (but better ideas are welcome!)

What SysNotes is✅:

A place to store profiles of all of our parts

A tool to figure out who is in front

A way to explore our inner world

A private chat similar to PluralKit

A way to combine info about our system with info about our OCs etc as an all-encompassing "brain-world" management system

A personal and tailor-made tool made for our needs

What SysNotes is not❌:

A fronting tracker (we see no need for it in our system)

A social media where users can interact (but we're open to make it so if people are interested)

A public platform that can be used by others (we don't have much experience actually hosting web-apps, but will consider it if there is enough interest!)

An offline app

So if this sounds interesting to you, you can find the first devlog below the cut (it's a long one!):

(I have used word highlighting and emojis as it helps me read large chunks of text, I hope it's alright with y'all!)

Tech stack & setup (feel free to skip if you don't care!)

The project is set up using:

Database: MySQL 8.4.3

Language: PHP 8.3

Framework: Laravel 10 with Breeze (authentication and user accounts) and Livewire 3 (front end integration)

Styling: Tailwind v4

I tried to set up Laragon to easily run the backend, but I ran into issues so I'm just running "php artisan serve" for now and using Laragon to run the DB. Also I'm compiling styles in real time with "npm run dev". Speaking of the DB, I just migrated the default auth tables for now. I will be making app-related DB tables in the next devlog. The awesome thing about Laravel is its Breeze starter kit, which gives you fully functioning authentication and basic account management out of the box, as well as optional Livewire to integrate server-side processing into HTML in the sexiest way. This means that I could get all the boring stuff out of the way with one terminal command. Win!

Styling and layout (for the UI nerds - you can skip this too!)

I changed the default accent color from purple to orange (personal preference) and used an emoji as a placeholder for the logo. I actually kinda like the emoji AS a logo so I might keep it.

Laravel Breeze came with a basic dashboard page, which I expanded with a few containers for the different sections of the page. I made use of the components that come with Breeze to reuse code for buttons etc throughout the code, and made new components as the need arose. Man, I love clean code 😌

I liked the dotted default Laravel page background, so I added it to the dashboard to create the look of a bullet journal. I like the journal-type visuals for this project as it goes with the theme of a notebook/file. I found the code for it here.

I also added some placeholder menu items for the pages that I would like to have in the app - Profile, (Inner) World, Front Decider, and Chat.

i ran into an issue dynamically building Tailwind classes such as class="bg-{{$activeStatus['color']}}-400" - turns out dynamically-created classes aren't supported, even if they're constructed in the component rather than the blade file. You learn something new every day huh…

Also, coming from Tailwind v3, "ps-*" and "pe-*" were confusing to get used to since my muscle memory is "pl-*" and "pr-*" 😂

Feature 1: Profiles page - proof of concept

This is a page where each alter's profiles will be displayed. You can switch between the profiles by clicking on each person's name. The current profile is highlighted in the list using a pale orange colour.

The logic for the profiles functionality uses a Livewire component called Profiles, which loads profile data and passes it into the blade view to be displayed. It also handles logic such as switching between the profiles and formatting data. Currently, the data is hardcoded into the component using an associative array, but I will be converting it to use the database in the next devlog.

New profile (TBC)

You will be able to create new profiles on the same page (this is yet to be implemented). My vision is that the New Alter form will unfold under the button, and fold back up again once the form has been submitted.

Alter name, pronouns, status

The most interesting component here is the status, which is currently set to a hardcoded list of "active", "dormant", and "unknown". However, I envision this to be a customisable list where I can add new statuses to the list from a settings menu (yet to be implemented).

Alter image

I wanted the folder that contained alter images and other assets to be outside of my Laravel project, in the Pictures folder of my operating system. I wanted to do this so that I can back up the assets folder whenever I back up my Pictures folder lol (not for adding/deleting the files - this all happens through the app to maintain data integrity!). However, I learned that Laravel does not support that and it will not be able to see my files because they are external. I found a workaround by using symbolic links (symlinks) 🔗. Basically, they allow to have one folder of identical contents in more than one place. I ran "mklink /D [external path] [internal path]" to create the symlink between my Pictures folder and Laravel's internal assets folder, so that any files that I add to my Pictures folder automatically copy over to Laravel's folder. I changed a couple lines in filesystems.php to point to the symlinked folder:

And I was also getting a "404 file not found" error - I think the issue was because the port wasn't originally specified. I changed the base app URL to the localhost IP address in .env:

…And after all this messing around, it works!

(My Pictures folder)

(My Laravel storage)

(And here is Alice's photo displayed - dw I DO know Ibuki's actual name)

Alter description and history

The description and history fields support HTML, so I can format these fields however I like, and add custom features like tables and bullet point lists.

This is done by using blade's HTML preservation tags "{!! !!}" as opposed to the plain text tags "{{ }}".

(Here I define Alice's description contents)

(And here I insert them into the template)

Traits, likes, dislikes, front triggers

These are saved as separate lists and rendered as fun badges. These will be used in the Front Decider (anyone has a better name for it?? 🤔) tool to help me identify which alter "I" am as it's a big struggle for us. Front Decider will work similar to FlowCharty.

What next?

There's lots more things I want to do with SysNotes! But I will take it one step at a time - here is the plan for the next devlog:

Setting up database tables for the profile data

Adding the "New Profile" form so I can create alters from within the app

Adding ability to edit each field on the profile

I tried my best to explain my work process in a way that wold somewhat make sense to non-coders - if you have any feedback for the future format of these devlogs, let me know!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Disclaimers:

I have not used AI in the making of this app and I do NOT support the Vibe Coding mind virus that is currently on the loose. Programming is a form of art, and I will defend manual coding until the day I die.

Any alter data found in the screenshots is dummy data that does not represent our actual system.

I will not be making the code publicly available until it is a bit more fleshed out, this so far is just a trial for a concept I had bouncing around my head over the weekend.

We are SYSCOURSE NEUTRAL! Please don't start fights under this post

Hotmail service was founded by Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith, and was one of the first webmail services on the Internet along with Four11's RocketMail (later Yahoo! Mail). It was commercially launched on July 4, 1996, symbolizing "freedom" from ISP-based email and the ability to access a user's inbox from anywhere in the world. The name "Hotmail" was chosen out of many possibilities ending in "-mail" as it included the letters HTML, the markup language used to create web pages (to emphasize this, the original type casing was "HoTMaiL"). The limit for free storage was 2 MB. Hotmail was initially backed by venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson. By December 1997, it reported more than 8.5 million subscribers. Hotmail initially ran under Solaris for mail services and Apache on FreeBSD for web services, before being partly converted to Microsoft products, using Windows Services for UNIX in the migration path.

Hotmail was sold to Microsoft in December 1997 for a reported $400 million (~$705 million in 2023), and it joined the MSN group of services. The sale had been preceded by a major incident in 1997 where all email was lost for 25% of mailboxes. Hotmail quickly gained in popularity as it was localized for different markets around the globe, and became the world's largest webmail service with more than 30 million active members reported by February 1999.

Hotmail originally ran on a mixture of FreeBSD and Solaris operating systems. A project was started to move Hotmail to Windows 2000. In June 2001, Microsoft claimed this had been completed; a few days later they retracted the statement and admitted that the DNS functions of the Hotmail system were still reliant on FreeBSD. In 2002 Hotmail still ran its infrastructure on UNIX servers, with only the front-end converted to Windows 2000. Later development saw the service tied with Microsoft's web authentication scheme, Microsoft Passport (now Microsoft account), and integration with Microsoft's instant messaging and social networking programs, MSN Messenger and MSN Spaces (later Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Spaces, respectively).

Re: 8tracks

HUGE UPDATE:

As I said on my earlier post today the CTO of 8tracks answered some questions on the discord server of mixer.fm

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN INFORMATION ABOUT 8TRACKS AND THE ANSWERS THE CTO OF 8TRACKS GAVE, PLEASE, KEEP READING THIS POST BECAUSE IT'S A LOT BUT YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

Okay, so he first talked about how they were involved in buying 8tracks, then how everything failed because of money and issues with the plataform then he talked about this new app called MixerFM they developed that works with web3 (8tracks is a web2 product), that if they get to launch it they'll get to launch 8tracks too because both apps will work with the same data.

Here is what they have already done in his own words:

*Built a multitenant backend system that supports both MIXER and 8tracks

*Fully rebuilt the 8tracks web app

*Fixed almost all legacy issues

*Developed iOS and Android apps for MIXER

What is next?

They need to migrate the 8tracks database from the old servers to the new environment. That final step costs about $50,000 and on his own words "I am personally committed to securing the funds to make it happen. If we pull this off since there is a time limit , we will have an chance to launch both 8tracks and MIXER. … so for all you community members that are pinging me to provide more details on X and here on discord, here it is"

Here the screenshots of his full statement:

NOW THE QUESTIONS HE ANSWERED:

*I transcribed them*

1. "What's the status of the founding right now?"

"Fundraising, for music its difficult"

2. "Our past data, is intact, isn't?"

"All data still exists from playlist 1"

3. "Will we be able to access our old playlists?"

"All playlists if we migrate the data will be saved. If we dont all is lost forever"

4. "How will the new 8tracks relaunch and MIXER be similar, and how will they be different?"

"8tracks / human created / mix tape style as it was before

mixer - ai asiated mix creation, music quest where people earn crypto for work they provode to music protocol ( solve quests earn money for providing that service )"

5. "Why is 8tracks being relaunched when they could just launch MIXER with our 8tracks database?"

"One app is web2 ( no crypto economy and incentives / ) mixer is web3 ( economy value exchange between users, artists, publishers, labels, advertisers) value (money) is shared between stakeholders and participants of app. Company earns less / users / artist earn more."

6. "Will we need to create a separate account for mixer? Or maybe a way to link our 8tracks to mixer?"

"New account no linking planned"

7. "What do you mean by fixed almost all legacy issues and fully rebuilt the 8tracks web app?"

"We have rebuilt most of 8tracks from scratch i wish could screen record a demo. In Last year we have rebuilt whole 8tracks ! No more issues no more bugs no more hacked comments"

8. "Will the song database be current and allow new songs? For example if someone makes a K pop playlist theres the capability for new songs and old not just all songs are from 2012. There will be songs from 2020 onwards to today?"

"Current cut of date is 2017, we have planed direct label deals to bring music DB up to speed with all new songs until 2025. This means no more song uploads"

9. "The apps would be available for android and outside USA?"

"USA + Canada + Germany + UK + Sweden + Italy + Greece + Portugal + Croatia in my personal rollout plan / but usa canada croatia would be top priority"

10. "Will 8tracks have a Sign in with Apple option?"

"It will have nothing if we don’t migrate the database but yes if we do it will have it"

11. ""Will Collections return?"

"Ofc If we save the database its safe to assume collections will return"

12. "Will the 8tracks forums return?"

"No that one i will deleted People spending too much time online"

13. "No more songs uploads forever or no more songs until…?"

"Idk, this really depends on do we save database or no. Maybe we restart the process of song uploads to rebuild the and create a worlds first open music database If anyone has any songs to upload that is

We operate under different license"

14. "What is your time limit? for the funding, I mean"

"Good question I think 2-3 months"

15. "From now?"

"Correct"

16. "When is the release date for Mixer?"

"Mixer would need 2-3 more months of work to be released Maybe even less of we would use external database services and just go with minimum features"

17. "Do you have the link for it?"

"Not if we dont secure the database that is number one priority"

*That was the end of the questions and answers*

Then he said:

"You need to act bring here (discord) people and help me set up go fund me camping of investor talks fail so we secure the database and migrate data so we can figure out whats next"

He also said he'll talk with the CEO about buying him the idea of community funding, that all who participate should have a lifetime subscription and "some more special thing", we suggested a message on the 8tracks official accounts (twitter, their blog, tumblr) and he was okay with the idea but he said they need to plan it carefully since the time is limited.

Okay, guys, that's so far what he said, I hope this information helps anyone, I don't know if they get to do a community funding but take in consideration it's a plausible option and that what they want from us is to participate in any way like for example spreading the message, if most people know about it the best, they also want you to join their server so here's the link to the website of mixerfm and where you can join the server:

Keep tagging few people who were discussing about this:

@junket-bank, @haorev, @americanundead, @eatpandulce, @throwupgirl, @avoid-avoidance, @rodeokid, @shehungthemoon, @promostuff-art @tumbling-and-tchaikovsky

[memeoryalpha]

Not to sound entitled or anything but I’m actually kind of shocked and irritated that star trek doesn’t seem to have a database website off of the fandom host.

Its an assload of information for sure, i agree with that, and I don’t personally have the funds to set up a server for a database, but like, i would happily help migrate information and articles and such.

I hope this isn’t something that i missed with a cursory web search, since im on my phone and google is all I can use atm, but yeah! Thoughts?

TAU Wiki 2.0!

TL;DR The TAU wiki has moved!

Hey everyone! Mod F here to talk about a project we're working on regarding the Transcendence AU wiki. As many of you may know, the TAU Wiki is hosted on Wikia/FANDOM, an extremely popular free wiki farm. They've hosted us for years, and using them has been an easy and convenient way to get information about TAU out to people who are looking for it.

However, especially as time has gone on, we (and FANDOM users at large) have had more and more issues with the way the site is run. FANDOM is a for-profit company, and they profit off of the free labor of its editors through advertising. Advertising that is generally very large and obnoxious on every page on the wiki. That's the biggest of our concerns, although there are others: they control the platform, so they can control the content if they want, and they give limited options for wiki customizability.

Because of this, we have decided to start our own wiki, off of FANDOM. This way, we can be in control of the presentation, and we can own our own work. The new wiki has already been set up, and pages from the old wiki have already been moved over (although images need to be migrated manually). There's a little migration guide I've been working on, for anyone interested in helping. Of note: the new wiki is hosted on my own web server, and it is guaranteed to be ad-free forever.

FANDOM does not like it when communities move away. They don't allow deleting the old wiki, because they want to continue to make advertising revenue from it, and they ban administrators if they promote the new wiki. On top of that, they will usually appear much higher in search results than wikis on any other platform. These things make this project difficult, but not, I believe, impossible.

Despite all of that, we still want to do whatever we can to make our new wiki the best it can be. We'd love it if you could sign up and contribute information about your favourite TAU topics! If you have any questions, you can send us an ask, or join the TAU discord to talk about it.

[proship-confessional]

I was never really Involved in fandom for YEARS at first, like, there’s definitely things I brainrotted on, mostly just bouncing shit between my brother and me (funny thing about my brother, is a fandom prude, but not in an anti way, like, he refuses to even CONSIDER anything if it’s not canonically feasible, but if it happens to be a proship concept that makes sense with the canon, he couldn’t care less), not really fully engaged with any wider fanbase, yknow?

anyways, I went off my adhd meds for the first time since preschool (I was diagnosed YOUNG) when Covid hit and got whammied with the biggest hyperfixation I’d ever had up to that point and that I have ever had since. I’m still chasing that high. But anyways, that hyperfixation was DSMP

and again, kudos to my brother frfr, he heard I was obsessing over controversial block men and was just like Aight cool wanna make a crossover AU with this book series I like. And so we would spend HOURS at a time just talking about who fits where and shit

and ANYWAYS, DSMP had probably one of the most solid antiship/proship divide I have ever seen in any fandom to this day. Maybe I’m wrong and there’s something else bigger than the DSMP did it. But I don’t think I am.

I made an entirely separate email account in order to make an entirely separate ao3 account and discord account and twitter account because literally everyone in poppytwt did it. Oh yeah our proship community was called poppytwt and idk where the term came from but I like it

and everyone was private and you had to send proof you’re poppy to follow anyone and fanfics weren’t tagged with ANY main tags other than the ship tags themselves and it still feels like it was a whole ass black ops operation

and A N Y W A Y S idk where I’m really going with this. it was one hell of an adrenaline rush, I’ll tell you that. As previously stated. I am still chasing that high. I know a large poppy population migrated to tumblr at some point, but I hadn’t made a poppy tumblr (I had the email. I easily could have. But the fixation was already dying by then. Glad I didn’t tbh since I used it recently to make a general proship acc). If any poppyblr people see this, HAIIII :3

oh and also. That crossover thing I mentioned way back at the start is the type of crossover that’s “take the plot of one and the characters of another and line them up just so”, and we obviously took Tommy as the protagonist and branched out from there (since Tommy was pretty much the DSMP protagonist, as easily as a Minecraft server can have one), and through sheer chance of following the web out from there, Ranboo landed himself in the slot of Love Interest, and through SHEER DUMB LUCK, I’m a Tomboo main. And the plan was that if we ever wrote the fic, we’d make it platonic, but I’ve seen a lot more main fandom tomboo fics lately (mixed feelings abt that. On the one hand, Yay! Tomboo! On the other hand, Did My Blood And Sweat Shed In The Trenches Mean Nothing? How Dare You Scorn My Name Only To Turn Around And Do The Same Crimes.), so if bro and I ever get around to writing, i might just make it romantic and see what happens.

1, 3, 19!

1. base distro

my main desktop is artix linux; my laptop is void linux; my server is alpine linux (plus some VMs i use for development)

i am not actually the biggest systemd hater i just happen to not use it lol. i actually tried to use debian on my server at first but i couldn't get it to work with my hosting service's network for some reason, but with alpine if i did manual network setup during install it would Just Work. perhaps i can blame systemd for this

3. listening to music

i run a local mpd server and use ncmpcpp as a client, with my music library synced with syncthing. however i'm thinking i should move my music library to my server and stream from there bc my music library is taking up a shit ton of space on my phone and laptop both of which have limited storage (laptop storage is soldered on i think, and i don't think my phone storage is upgradeable either, but tbf i should double check those—in any case even if it were upgradeable that would cost Money and i shrimply don't think a massive music library synced between 3 devices is the wisest use of limited storage). so i may need to look into self-hosted music streaming solutions. although it is nice to be able to listen to music without using mobile data when i'm out and about.

19. file sync/sharing

a bit all over the place. as i said above i use syncthing for a few things but i'm increasingly moving away from that towards my nextcloud just bc if i'm syncing eg a 10GB file, there's no need for it to take up 30GB between 3 devices when i can just have it take up 10GB once on a remote server that i can access from any device only when it's needed. i am still sticking with syncthing for some things that are more sensitive so i want to reduce the number of devices it goes through: ie my keepass db, and some luks headers i have stored. also currently using a bit of a mess between syncthing and git hosting for my dotfiles but i'm trying to migrate to one chezmoi git repo since that can handle differences between devices and is much more elegant than my current glued-together scripts and git repos lol

for file sharing it's a bit all over the place. onionshare or bittorrent for some things, my own nextcloud for personal file sharing with people who can't wrap their heads around onionshare or bittorrent and just want a web browser link. i also use disroot's nextcloud instance for when i need to do the latter but not have it tied to me in any way. also sometimes i just send attachments in whatever platform we're using to communicate like just a signal attachment or something.

babes i have migrated over to your inbox

techno is The Last Follower. he is this old god's home <- going insane over this line like yes like even the idea of techno as an living temple, every single little thing he does he for his god and knows his god is dying so he wants their name far and wide as a final goodbye, the final bow

i have written like 3 blood god!techno fics

i have not read revolution but i should read it at one point really. honestly i never played on hypixel cuz my connection like sucks ass but some fics ive written have hypixel as his vauge point of origin but the worldbuilding is like throwing spaghetti at a wall and seeing what sticks

of course he particpated in a war on hypixel lmao

-tides (person who made the web weave)

LIVING TEMPLE.... if i ever get back around to drawing chat and the blood god i know what im captioning the piece-

if you ever want hypixel info feel free to message me or something im a little obsessed with the server lore. my url is the name of the resistance he led against dante in skyblock im sooooo normal about that. btw the blood god is canon to skyblock, after the fight was over he built a shrine to honor it and it brought gifts to us all. <333 here's a wiki link if you're curious about it
