@lbpfanzine Sorry but I don't really have a way of doing digital art yet 😅

Made for the @lbpfanzine Our Moon

......So this really is it, huh? It all ends here, not with a bang, but with a whimper.

When I was a kid, I went into the gameroom at my grandma's house & saw my older brother playing this game. I got curious, so when he left the room, I started messing with his controller, trying to see how the game worked. I stopped as soon as he came in, but it didn't fool him & he scolded me for it.

Years down the line, when I was a bit older, I got to play a bit of LBP2's storyline (through regrettably, I only remember this one in bits & pieces.)

A few years after that, my uncle got LBP3 for the PS4, and every year after that when I went to my grandma's house, I would play the game almost every single time. So many hours were spent playing shark survivals, hangouts, scenery, horror levels with strangers. I even made some of my first levels on there. Some of them were costumes inspired by Sailor Moon (& at least one level was themed around Yandere Sim 💀.) Later on, I'd take those costumes & spin them into my own little OCs.

In 2020, when COVID hit & we were all stuck inside, my Dad brought me a PS4 to entertain me, and the first game that he got for it was LBP3. I spent even more time playing it before, cause' it was one of the few things I had to distract me from the current situation we were stuck in.

When it was first announced that the servers for LBP1, 2, PS VITA & LBP3 Ps3 were shut down, I cried. I didn't really have that much experience with them (hell, I never even played PS VITA), but it still hurt a little. In hindsight, I probably should've realized that it wouldn't last.

Then come a few years later. I didn't play as much as I used to because of school & some...personal issues, but I still tried to make time for it every once in a while.

Then come yesterday, when I found out scrolling through Twitter that the server for LBP3 was shut down permanently. Great way to find out, right? Out of all the games in the franchise (excluding SABA), it was the only one whose server was still online. But now, it's not even that. They're all gone for good.

I don't even know why I'm telling you all this...I guess I just wanted to express my experiences with this franchise. It really did help me through some of the rough times in my life & it will always hold a special place in my heart. And it inspired me to create, so there's that too.

Thank you, LittleBigPlanet. Thanks for everything. I'll miss you 💔

How is it so fucking bright over here it's like 7pm?????

[milkypuffette]

i love ao3 donation season bcs every year I get to see people acting like thousands of strangers giving like 10 usd to a volunteer run website are personally oppressing them

[milkypuffette]

You know what fuck it, I may as well dump these here. These are just my photo collages that I make when I'm trying to get inspiration for magical girls & all that.

(All the magical girl OCs I have all have animal sub-themes, but these aren't all that prominent in some of the designs, most notably the zombie, plant, cloud & candy one too.)

Hmm....seems interesting.

Communities closed beta is here

Hello again! We’re back with an update on Communities, a big idea we had last year that we’ve been working on steadily since then. We’re abnormally jazzed to announce that we’re beginning a “closed beta” phase of this new feature, which means many of you will get to play with it soon!

We want to build this whole thing together, with as much input from all of you as possible. We’ve read and re-read the feedback from our previous post, and we’ve been surveying and interviewing people about this idea for a few months now. But it’s time to open this up even more for hands-on testing.

We’ve already begun reaching out to most of you who interacted with our previous post, as promised, with a survey asking whether you’d be interested in helping (check your email!). Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be using the results of that survey to narrow down who we’d like to help test Communities in these initial batches.

The process is looking a bit like this:

If you received a Communities survey email to your registered Tumblr email address, fill it out! If you’re interested in helping us in this beta test period, that’s your way of potentially getting early access. If you did not receive an email with the Communities survey, don’t fret! Communities will be rolling out to more people as we expand our testing. 

We’ll go through the results and choose a diverse range of community ideas to gather a wide array of feedback.

Selected testers will receive a second survey with more detailed questions about their proposed community. Very practical stuff, like the name, title, and description, whether it should be public or private, the About page contents, its own community guidelines, and more.

We will create the new Tumblr community on your behalf using the information supplied. We’re building the tools that will let people create and edit communities themselves, so eventually you’ll be able to change them without needing our help. But for now, we’re creating and editing them for you, as needed.

After we’ve created the community, you’ll be made its first admin. Everything from here on out is up to you – Tumblr staff won’t be in your community (unless you invite us, of course). You’ll be able to invite anyone on Tumblr to your community. However, your community will have a population cap to start, limiting how many people can be in it and invited, as a way of keeping this beta test somewhat contained and manageable for us. We’ll be able to raise that population cap for communities that are growing and if we want to test further in that direction.

And throughout, we’ll be asking for feedback, both in some special communities for everyone in the closed beta, and via more surveys and the Support tickets we receive.

This closed beta version of Communities is far from finished, and that’s part of the reason we want to start opening it up to more of you for feedback. There are a lot of rough edges and known issues, but we think it’s far enough along that it’s usable enough for testing. We need feedback in order to feel like we’re building the right thing.

The very first public community is called “Communities Feedback” for this reason! We want everyone helping us test out communities to tell us about it, so people in this closed beta will be in there by default. We want to use that space to be more public and real-time about new pieces we’re building, bugs we’re fixing, things we know are broken, and answers to common questions. There is an additional, private community for community admins, to help shape how administrating and moderating these spaces will work. And if you don’t want to use those spaces, you can always use the “Feedback” category in our Support form.

Stay tuned for more, and keep an eye on that Communities Feedback space if you’d like to see how things are changing over time.

How to write about someone’s appearance? Their physique, styles, face , clothes,?

How to Describe a Character's Appearance

-> dabblewriter.com

-> link to Character Description Prompts

Avoid Over-Describing

Overloading readers with too much information can be overwhelming and make your characters feel flat and one-dimensional. Focus on the details that are the most important to the story and the characters themselves.

If the character's appearance is not central to the story, then you may only need to give a basic description. If it plays a significant role, you may want to go into more detail. Always keep the purpose of your physical descriptions in mind.

Show Don't Tell

Don't blatantly state every little thing about your character's appearance, but rather show it through their actions and behaviors.

example: If they are tall, show that through their actions. They have to duck to get under a doorway, they help someone reach the top shelf, etc.

Include Personality Traits

A character's personality is what makes them memorable. Consider their motivations, values, beliefs, and quirks and give them a well-defined personality.

Avoid Stereotypes

Create characters that are more than just their cultural, racial, ethnic, or gender identity. Give them unique interests, hobbies, and personalities. Allow them to have flaws, contradictions, and diverse perspectives.

External Features

External features include a character's height, weight, body type, and general appearance. You can describe their skin color, hair color, eye color, and any distinctive features like freckles or scars. This type of description gives the reader a basic understanding of what the character looks like, which is helpful in creating a mental image.

Clothing

Describing the type of clothing they wear, including the colors, patterns, and how they fit, can reveal a lot about a character’s personality and social status.

For example, a character who wears tailored suits and expensive shoes might be a little snobby and concerned with their image, while a character who wears ripped jeans and t-shirts might be casual and relaxed.

Facial Features

Facial features can be used to give the reader a more in-depth understanding of a character's personality and emotions. You can describe their smile, the way they frown, their cheekbones, and their jawline. You can also describe their eyebrows, the shape of their nose, and the size and shape of their eyes, which can give the reader insight into their emotions.

Body Language

Body language can be used to give the reader an understanding of a character's emotions and personality without the need for dialogue. Describing the way a character stands, walks, or gestures can reveal a lot about their confidence level, mood, and attitude.

For example, a character who slouches and avoids eye contact is likely to be shy, while a character who stands up straight and makes direct eye contact is likely to be confident.
