I’ve read it and it’s really cool! Good to start learning about accessibility or to refresh basic knowledge. Has a good list of resources at the end of it to learn more.

THE ACCESSIBLE DESIGN SURVIVAL GUIDE: OUT NOW!

My zine covering accessible design basics is now free on itch!

If you'd like to start making your work more accessible for everyone— check a look, download it here!

Please share this with anyone you know who makes flyers for key events like protests and fundraisers, especially! We want to make sure these things are successful— and accessible design will help with reach!

Welcome to the Yonderverse!

The Yonderverse is an expansive science-fantasy universe that I've been working on for the last three years. It's got a bit of everything for everyone, but my favourite thing to write are all the ecosystems on different planets ✨

I'm always working harder on this project, putting in all my spare time, energy, and efforts to produce a magnificent piece of work. If anyone stumbles across this page, I hope you enjoy!

Everything is hosted on World Anvil, an amazing website for writers and worldbuilders.

Keeper -- a short comic about an angel meeting a robotic lighthouse keeper that doesn't know the world has already ended. Made in about 18 hours for a 24-hour 24-page* black and white comic challenge (that I arrived late to, ha.)

*the actual submission does not include the cover, which was created after the fact for this post.

This was a really great learning experience as someone who's... never really made a completed comic. I ended up really attached to the story by the end of the project (possibly due to all-nighter deliriousness lol) and ultimately am very proud of what I made.There are some things I'd still like to change, particularly text placement, but in keeping with the spirit of the challenge I've elected to leave it as is.

A lil 1 page RPG I designed last year (before I trans'd my name, whoops), where you play as henchmen tasked with retrieving the pieces of your villain's doomsday device! The game's free, the page above is all you need! If you want it in PDF form you can yoink that (also for free) from my itch page here.

Sticky Notes

My desk is surrounded with sticky notes Little yellow futures Laid out in neat rows And uneven piles Reminders, ideas, dreams, doodles Always stacking higher Little yellow skyscrapers Each floor a different future Some, derelict, speak of tasks already done I never even needed the reminder Peeling one off reveals something from the past A thought, a task Like rings in a tree By the time I pass I suspect there will be enough To build a little yellow casket

Hi, I'm Catoblepon!

I have a lot of hobbies and I keep finding myself unable to stick with only one, so expect me to talk, ramble, or follow stuff related to spreadsheets, CSS, digital art, videogames & TTRPGs, worldbuilding, web development, etc.

I've been on Tumblr before, but I've barely done more than follow a couple posts, doom scroll, and then leave again. This time I have friends backing me up and I hope my stay is more permanent than temporal. I just hope I don't forget about this again. I also have no idea what I'm doing but I saw there's an HTML editor and I'm a happy web nerd.

I love languages, both natural speaking (like English, Spanish, etc) and artificial (such as C++, Java, Python, etc). I have two beautiful dogs whom I love with my life. I'm not good at intros and I dunno what to add.

Worldbuilding

Worldbuilding as of right now is the "main" hobby I'm focused on (other than playing video games but I don't do much other than playing them xD). Most of the art, CSS, and spreadsheets (and perhaps other stuff) are related to my worldbuilding worlds. So far, I have four (working on starting a fifth) settings.

What do I enjoy reading in worldbuilding?

Conditions/diseases

Lava related worldbuilding

Wild Magic

Magic and technology!

Species (especially animals)

Settlements (tell me all the weird details!)

Daeliha

Daeliha is a dark world filled with magic and your typical fantasy species but with twists, such as Elves having a symbiotic relationship with bacteria. Its people are constantly quarrelling, with anger and fear brewing for centuries. Now, however, people are rediscovering forbidden knowledge that had been hidden away in dusty temples, threatening to release old powerful magic upon the world.

Iphars

Fifty years ago, magic appeared in the world, and with it, new places, flora, fauna and worse, people. As those newcomers start to claim lands for themselves, the people indigenous to Iphars have to fight to adapt and keep what is theirs.

Khulgran

Humanity always dreamed of interacting with aliens. When no aliens arrived on Earth, humans decided to take matters into their own hands and travel themselves to new planets. There, they become aliens to meet other people, the technologically advanced society invading other worlds. But humans did not confine themselves to physical worlds; they also discovered access to a dimension of dreams. Of course, they immediately started to transform and adapt it for their own needs and entertainment. Thus, Altrea dimension was born. Will they manage to mess it up?

Shattered

Shattered is a place of brokenness, as its name says. It is composed of many islands and giant animals floating in space and surrounding a single star-like object, which has three states: light, dark, and rain. On these islands, one finds life, civilized and not-so-civilized societies; outside of them, one finds death and corpses of unknown creatures floating in a never-ending state of decay.

Games?

I enjoy games! Videogames, tabletop games, all the games! I mainly play solo games or games I can play with my friends (with them, of course!).

Favourite videogames

Skyrim

Minecraft

Borderlands

Dishonoured

Pokemon (the last good for me was the fourth-gen)

Legend of Zelda

Favourite TTRPG

D&D 5e

Fragged Empire

Vaesen

Solo journaling ttrpg (Even made one!)

I love trying new games!
