updated theme! backlog

Okay, so I've tried to update the theme! I've also included a taglist and my plans for tagging content- so please check those out! For the New Year, I'm clearing out the backlog except asks, so if there's a character you wanted from there please request them!

backlog asks: eirin, kasen and ringo (I AM SO SORRY) Jan Calendar List (I don't want to put too much pressure on myself again, so this is a guideline). If multiple characters are close together, and I have time issues, I will prioritise the character with the least amount of other days eg Momiji has only one Momiji specific day on Touhou Calendar whilst the rest have 2, so I'll prioritise Momiji

backlog and housekeeping questions 6/1

backlog and housekeeping discussion~ however if you are someone that wants to contribute to the design or accessibility of the blog or know how tumblr works, i do have some questions that i'd love answered

backlog: -ringo ask -a very lovely positive ask that i want to honor with answering properly (if you are reading this please know it made my week ;v;) ---------------------------- current/upcoming posts: -hina 7/1 -kasen 8/1 -iku 9/1 -momiji, kisume, yamame 10/1 ------------------------ quickie to do/blog tidy: -delete previous backlogs -implement tagging system outlined in /taglist -fix mobile links in blog description -change resources text to crisis hotlines ------------------------------------------------ larger things to think/implement: -i'm not a fan of the main text font in the theme, especially since i can ramble. try to find text that is easy on the eyes and ask if people like it -is there a way to implement polls that don't have a time limit to see peoples thoughts? maybe a separate page for a suggestion box or for people to contribute their thoughts at any time -icon sizes- do I require consistent icon sizes, and what is the best one for both mobile and laptop visibility? should I put read mores under every post that's a specific length? -implementation of creditted art: should i put hyperlinks to sprite/art sources in every image i use? a small text under or in the alt description? note: spriter's resource appreciates a link to the page the sprite is on, not the image directly. if using game and/or official art, include both the source of the image and the content the image is from. if art, link directly either the link of the OP image post, or if unavailable to the artist themselves. -separate credit page for assets eg theme images. include sources from commonly used sprites like mystia's izakaya, touhou lost word, the official games -future and also just for ease of my access: potential taglist or compilation (or maybe even a separate page for resources) of infographics/posts related to stretching, nutrition, dopamenu, breathing practices, cooking, etc refs -formatting dear GOD i need consistent formatting how do i set that up -optimal posting time and/or other tumblr quirks (11am my time is the commonly talked about 'peak posting time' for most (which is yesterday in the us/other places)- but that is in the afternoon, can't really have reimu day if it's only reimu evening? aknerjdkj) other tumblr quirks like i remember years ago only the first 5 tags got read or find out about other things to keep in mind whilst posting on here nowadays,,,how do i find that stuff??? urghhgh tl;dr of larger things: -main theme font text change- !!! -way for people to chime thoughts in, probably a subpage -icon sizing -credit page- !!! -crediting art not covered by credit page eg pc98ers- !! -read mores for longer posts? -taglist/comp for resources -consistent formatting holy shit- !! (but long :'( -optimal posting/other tumblr quirks to research ---------------------------- secret fun stuff: -post about the upcoming mascot! -com a friend to draw a pfp for the upcoming mascot!

Ringo, if available -

I recently took up a new job and it's been really kicking me. I imagine that's how you felt on the moon to make you come to earth, similarly running from this place to that, answering demands of your superiors. How can I obtain more endless energy our species is oft known for? I'll gladly bend down my antlers for you to stick some dango on.

In a similar vein of thinking to yours, sometimes the moon is a big bright orange pumpkin this early September and I thought I would share some sentiment with moon gazing. Especially after work, it's presence is quite serene. I wish there was a way we could hang out. It would be a nice load-off.

Sincerely,

A golden earth jackalope

"ACK- THEY FOUND ME!" [ahem] "Oh, you're from Earth, all good all good."

But man, I totally get it. If you're running about from place to place, especially if you were going along with a particular system- school, a bad relationship, a lack of self-regard- even if you're trying to treat yourself better or help yourself out you can feel MORE exhausted...I wonder if that's Earth's impurity... You're on the right track though! You gotta load up of fuel, not just any ol' food but stuff that'll keep you going, and listen to your body. Turns out sustaining yourself on just dango ain't that great for Earth rabbits, and it's actually the "impure" foods of fermented or pickled stuff that's helpful for fatigue.

Also, whilst it can sound counterintuitive and may even be more exhausting at first, you gotta prep yourself before you wreck yourself. I love me a good nap, but when winter's coming, it might end up counterintuitive to just sleep all the time. You gotta keep those bones limber and moving, we got all that energy from running, and we run cuz we got all that energy! And when you rest...how do I say this without being lame, treasure it? Not in a 'oh you should be grateful you're able to sleep' but paying attention to how nice it makes you feel, seeing a breeze or feeling the warmth of a blanket...really sink your teeth into feeling the positive flow of things. No feeling guilty for how long it's been or how long it takes allowed, you give yourself permission to ~mellow~

I think moon gazing is a great idea, at first I didn't like it because it was kinda sad, but...now I see the moon differently. I see it the way Earthlings do, a presence in the sky that shifts the tides and envelopes nature with its own subtle dark light, a Mythical being...heh, and the idea that seeing the moon that way would piss the Lunar Capital off just makes that bright orange pumpkin all the sweeter~

I'll skewer some dango on, but that's for a takeaway- so have some now and enjoy it, mmkay?
