We need to stop devaluing non-speaking communication.

I honestly believe that sign language should be taught in school. Non-speaking people aren't the only ones who benefit from it. Making the world a more accessible place helps all of us.

the best writing experience is when you're going and then something organically manifests out of subtext or brief asides that you weren't even expecting in the first place. woah i didn't know we were doing that but alright guys let's see where we can take it

literally how are you doing the gradient text thing. i need to know.

✨ Snappy's Gradient Text Tutorial

You might have seen me use gradient text in a few of my artworks, and it is a great tool to make a posts tand out! I learned from this post, but find some of the information outdated, so I am making a tutorial of my own!

To my knowledge, this is only possible via desktop mode* (mobile method at end), but not the app, as access to the HTML function is necessary. Alongside that, you need access to a text color fader! There's a few options out there, but I use:

Patorjik's Text Color Fader

Let's get to the tutorial!

Have the text you want to turn into a gradient ready and copy it to your clipboard.

2. Open the text color fader and paste your text into the box labeled "your message".

3. For the most basic gradients, you may ignore the boxes on the right. The leftmost boxes allow you to choose between preset colors or making your own colors.

Tip: if you are making a gradient for something such as art, I reccoment grabbing a few hex codes from the image to use for your gradient. This allows you to have control over your colors. You may also save a pallet if you want to use it again

4. When you are happy with your colors, generate your text.

5. You will be brought to this page. If you are happy with the colors, click "select all" and copy the HTML to your clipboard.

TIP: check your text against both a dark and light background to ensure it will be readable to viewers on dark and light mode. If it is not you can tweak the colors by choosing "create new fade".

6. Open Tumblr again and open your post. At the top right there is a grear icon. Click the icon and scroll down to the text editor. Change the setting from "rich text" to "HTML"

7. When you move to HTML, your post will look very different! In the HTML, your goal is to find the text you want to replace in the code.

TIP: If you can't find it, use "Ctrl + F" to open the keword search function and it will highlight your word.

8. Highlight your plain text, right click it, and paste your HTML from Patorjik into the space.

TIP: The HTML is a confusing mess to look at. Click the "preview" tab to check if your code worked

9. You should see a gradient when you swicth modes!

If the HTML broke your formatting, you can edit it in the preview mode. Once you have done a gradient a couple of times this process is very easy and takes LESS than two minutes. It looks intimidating but after you get the hang it is very achievable! I believe in you guys being able to do it. Happy gradient texting for you guys!

*EDIT: It is possible via mobile through the method of entering your account on a web browser and putting it on computer mode, then following the same process. Reportedly it is less comfortable but it works, thank you to chocokeyboard for letting me know!

Since tpot 19 killed my grandma/j and the tonal whiplash into bfdia 21 killed my grandpa/alsoj

I'm curious to see what Redux!TPOT 19 and Redux!BFDIA 21 would be(if u redux episodes)

Hello hello! I do indeed redux episodes! I'm currently drafting season 1 still, as well as fleshing out the whole cast x-x

Redux!BFDIA 21 will be a challenge episode. Canon!BFDIA 21 and 22 will be merged here. (I have not seen BFDIA 22 yet), so the host and elimination will be revealed during Cake at Stake.

No matter who gets eliminated, there will be an emotional Pin moment. Pin and Coiny do not make up that easily as Pin has been sitting on a mountain of negativity and built incredibly high walls around herself. Coiny doesn't know how to get through those walls yet. Leafy will be hanging out with Pin some, whether it's by checking in on her during the challenge or dipping from hosting to hang out with her.

TPOT 19 raises one in my head for the redux. Why is Two responsive now, after months of nothing?

Simple answer: They've been projecting themself somewhere in their domain, somewhere the eliminated contestants can't reach. They've been leaving only to collect whatever food and drinks X has dropped off for them-- but sometimes they just. Don't bother.

Four taking Two's power like that... I'm iffy. Two is the most powerful algebralien(outside of 2763). It could be plausible, as Two hasn't been taking good care of themself, and thus their power drains enough for Four to take the rest or borrow it. The other option is Four catching Two the one time they're not projecting and asking Two for permission to have access to their domain because Two won't host-- and someone has to.

Two complies, so Four can do that. And project himself into Two's domain to get them to come OUT. Cue their talk as Four realizes One is lingering. Four may also try to get Two to fix the crack in the sky and Two will just. Kinda roll away sadly. Four asks Two for their power, Two questions why, Four snaps about the crack, and Two gives in. The rest of the episode may go similar to canon.

I've got a lot of work to do before I get to either episode 😅

Okay fine I made a SpamTenna fankid. I like to think she’s just slighter taller than Spamton, which I guess isn’t very tall at all. She’s shorter than Kris at least.

[Text:

Nettie: Spamton and Tenna’s Daughter

- Likes to dress like her dads (got Tenna’s old coat wayyy tailored)

- Pantsless like Spamton

- Completely covered in feathers! :)

- Runs a web show a la iCarly -> “The Inter-Nettie of Things”

- Tenna got full custody in the divorce

- When she’s a teenager she does that thing where she’s like “I’m gonna go live with my other dad!!” and spends a shitty day in a dumpster with Spamton before going home]

you should make a website!

"my favorite social media site is shutting down!"

"the CEO of the site i use just committed another atrocity!"

"i want a webspace that's all my own!"

if any of these sound like you (and if you're on tumblr, i know at least one applies) you should make your own website!

why make a website?

incredibly customizable

you can put whatever you want on it

it's, well, your own! like a house you build with your own hands

things you'll need

a computer. you can maybe get away with doing this on a mobile device, but i have zero experience there

a code editor. i like VScodium, which is a de-microsoft-ed version of VScode.

a will to learn ;)

site hosting

neocities. everyone knows neocities. at this point i do feel like it's become a bit too centralized, but it's a good option nonetheless. do note that there are filetype restrictions for free users, but that shouldn't be a huge issue for most. what may be an issue, though, is that there's a content security policy that prevents sites made after jan 1st, 2024 to use outside scripts. also, you have to pay to use your own domain

nekoweb. similar to neocities, but there's no filetype restrictions or a content security policy. some differences are outlined in the FAQ (thinking about moving here... i am a traitor...) i'm not sure if domain support is free or paid.

github pages or codeberg pages. you'll need an understanding of git for this

pages.gay: run by besties.house, uses git

teacake: free hosting is currently closed, but paid hosting starts at 2 bucks a month.

leprd.space: i know next to nothing about this.

a web server. don't recommend this if you don't know computer stuff but it is an option (you'll likely have to provide your own domain though)

gripes & solutions (?)

i'm not comfortable maintaining pages in pure HTML / templating with JS sucks!

with a static site generator, you can write pages in markdown and they'll be converted into HTML and (if you'd like) be put into a template of your choosing. my personal choice is 11ty but there are tons of options!

static site generators can be a bit of a learning curve (and you will have to write some html for templating) but if you're making a lot of pages or blogging regularly it's something to consider

there are starters for 11ty online but i might make a more beginner-proofed starter and/or guide in the future? don't count on it

i don't want to write/maintain CSS

simpleCSS is a tiny CSS file you can use to make semantic HTML ("naked" HTML) look nice. it's got decent customization options too. it's not particularly fancy or opinionated, but it's a good starting point if you need something

i don't know what to put on my website!

small list of ideas:

weblog

art/writing/music gallery

movie/show/book tracker

place to store bookmarks/links

scary! i'm scared!

my askbox/messages/e-mail inbox/etc. are open to anyone who'd like to ask for help!
