do you have any tips on where and/or how to make blinkies? i want to learn how to make them but don't know how. have a good day btw :3
hiiii i will do my best to give tips!! o7
first of all if you want to get a feel for blinkie making without diving in directly i recommend using a site like blinkies.cafe which lets you just add text to premade blinkie templates! i think it's a good way to get an eye for the blinkies "aesthetic" especially regarding the actual blinking part, the borders, all of that. and ofc the size (which for the record is traditionally 150x20px!)
if you want to actually get into Real Custom-Made Blinkies, studying ones you like up close is a great idea because it'll help you see what works and what doesn't. obviously everyone will have different design sensibilities, but that's why it's always good to take inspiration from things that you personally like!
here are things that i like, as an example:
dotted/dashed borders that blink between two colors
shadows
outlines
pixel art
keep in mind that blinking can be upsetting to the eyes for some people! i always try to not overdo it, but at the same time, they are blinkies, so it seems kind of like a waste when they don't blink at all...
traditionally, blinkies include two things: a picture, and text. they don't always! sometimes there's only a picture, and sometimes there's only text. for example, this blinkie i made of lysandre only has his card art and little hearts. this is once again going to depend on your preferences. but for the sake of explaining, let's say you want one or two simple pictures, and some text.
i find pokémon to be a pretty easy thing to make blinkies for, because you have a large panel of pixel art to choose from! for example, i made this blinkie for my blog using one of the mini scyther sprites. a lot of them are animated, too, which is fun. i can't really advise you on what program to use for animated stuff because i use really old ones LMAO but i've always had a good time using ezgif! you can just feed it your frames and use the website to put them together into an animation.
the text imo is the trickiest part. the blinkies you find on blinkies.cafe use pixelated fonts, but i've had a really hard time using them outside of that context. it's hard to get them to look good imo, especially at the small scale that blinkies end up at... so what i've been doing is making my own little pixel art alphabet. it's very fun for me and i don't think it's as difficult as it sounds, so i definitely recommend it because it gives you a lot more flexibility imo. i handdrew the text for all of my PSS blinkies, as well as the aforementioned scyther one, and this trans rights one. i actually have the trans rights and PSS alphabets completed and saved in a file for later use in case i need them, lmao:
Tumblr media
you can see what the process is like: i make a rectangle, draw one letter, and then copy the rectangle to draw the other ones at the same size and in the same style. it's very, um, vibe-based, i guess? you just have to figure out what looks good for your Vision. but i find it super fun... so it's easy for me to do, i guess...
if you want to see the scyther blinkies text closer up, here it is at 500% size:
Tumblr media
uncapitalized letters are more difficult than capitalized letters imo, but i think i did an ok job! maybe i'll make a full alphabet for that one too at some point, lmao. for the "tumblr" text i just copied the style of the logo (hopefully that comes through...)
i'm not sure what else to say, so feel free to ask more specific questions if you'd like! i think a lot of the other stuff is more general art/graphics advice, like color theory and the likes, which i'm not sure is worth going over LOL. but as a parting note, i'd definitely suggest not going overboard on the color palette. blinkies are pretty small at their default size, and too many colors will make them really hard to look at, let alone understand. in general, keep in mind the final size when working on something like blinkies, and make sure to zoom out periodically to double check you've got something readable!
and don't forget to have fun 👍👍👍

The Old Web pt. 2: what's in a personal website?
The internet is full of possibilities.
This sticks out to you much more than usual when you start exploring the community of personal websites, many of which are hosted by neocities. With most social media, you have very limited customization of what your page looks like, what format of content you can post, and how users may interact with your posts. Personal websites change all of that and allow you to create something completely outside the box. You get to control every minute detail of how your website is viewed, from the fonts to the way the user's cursor looks.
For the sake of this post, a "personal website" is a website that someone created for their own personal use, not to promote a brand or sell a product. These websites are often made almost entirely from scratch using HTML and other coding languages. You can find many examples of these websites at this link. Warning: most of these websites are not meant to be viewed on mobile and might malfunction.
https://href.li/?https://neocities.org/browse
Personal websites are often a mishmash of different things the webmaster (the person who made the site) likes or finds important. Sometimes they focus on a single topic, a topic or fandom the webmaster is really into, or something they want to teach others about. While I browsed these websites I noticed a few tabs that often appear in the sidebars of these websites.
Tumblr media
⋆。°✩₊ °✦ ‧ ‧ ₊ ˚✧₊ °✦Blinkies!⋆。°✩₊ °✦ ‧ ‧ ₊ ˚✧₊ °✦
Blinkies are little flashing images, usually with text, that are displayed on a website. There's a popular blinkie generator website called blinkies.cafe where you can make your own. Many personal websites have an entire page dedicated to listing all of the blinkies they've collected. It's hard to trace the origins of many because they can easily be downloaded and used without permission. Here are a few links to see some examples.
●○●○●○●○●○●○●○Webrings●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●
Webrings are described by webmaster neonaut as "curated link chains, or tiny community-shared directories where links are shared one at a time by clicking through to the next website." So rather than using google to find old web websites (impossible) many will link to other similar websites, so you can discover new websites by clicking on links, kind of like if you've ever fallen into a wikipedia rabbit hole.
Webrings are like little virtual clubs, and can have any theme from queer people who code to the art of being funky. Websites will link back to a centralized page, like the one shared above, or the websites will link directly to each other, having a buttons page with every other webring member's button.
Tumblr media
●~●~●~●~●~Buttons●~●~●~●~●~●~
88x31 buttons are how a person gets from website to website on the old web. They look a lot like blinkies, something I eventually realized after frustratedly spam-clicking blinkies expecting them to link me somewhere. These are just as decorative, except they serve as a sort of advertisement to get someone interested in their website. They may have tiny images, colors, or fonts that match the aesthetic of their website. Buttons can have their own devoted section, or be a fixture on the side or bottom of a site.
✧・゚: ✧・゚: Shrines / Collections :・゚✧:・゚✧
A shrine is something you dedicate to something you love, perhaps a deity or ancestor you want to honor. A web shrine is a page or collection of pages dedicated to someone's interest, obsession, hyperfixation, or hobby. It tends to have lots of information about the topic, relevant pictures or videos, and the webmaster's own personal ties to the topic. A fandom blog could in a way be considered a shrine. There are tons of interesting, niche, and obscure shrines out there, such as this one about an old product called WebTV. There are also fairly common shrine topics like pokemon and hello kitty. Many shrines are combined with a collections page, where a webmaster shows off their collection of items. This can be a group of pictures of the actual items, or just pictures of ones that a person wishes they had.
Tumblr media
⟡⋆⭒˚。⋆✧˖°⁺˚Pets, dollz, and toyboxes˖°.✧˖°.⟡⋆⭒˚。
Pets are little png images you put on your site because you like the way they look. They can be commissioned, pre-drawn and put up for paid "adoption" by artists, or just right-click-saved from directories like this one. A toybox is a page dedicated to storing all these pngs, many of which link back to where the webmaster found them. Dollz are sort of different. Dollz are kind of like a DIY dressup game, where artists create a base, clothing, hair, and other accessories, and you can mix and match in order to create your own unique look. This website goes into a bit more detail about the history of dollz.
📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎
This is just a quick summary of all the things I've most commonly seen on personal websites, you can learn more by browsing the websites I've linked or browsing through all the different websites neocities has to offer. One of my favorite websites on neocities is called Lizzie Smithson, a webcomic detailing the adventures of a stylish cat thief who lives in the city.
Neocities is great because it offers a more intimate glimpse into someone's mind than you could ever find on mainstream social media. People who create personal websites do so just because they want to. They're not looking for likes and followers and validation. Maybe part of the reason personal websites have been on decline so much is that making content for the hell of it isn't all that common anymore. Capitalism tells us that we should try to monetize everything we do for enjoyment, it's not enough to just create something because we feel like it. And if you can't monetize it, you should seek some sort of validation through interactions, numbers created to hack our brains into churning out content that people want to see, regardless of if it's something WE want to make. This system, this Web 2.0, is what spawned the Old Web Movement, which is dedicated to creating an online space free from monetization, free from algorithms, where people can be truly creative and make great things. The Old Web movement and manifesto is what part 3 will be all about.

Sorry if uve said this b4, but do u need credit if i use ur blinkies? Again im sorry if u said this b4 im new to tumblr and idk how tf this works
hi- yes but also no.
To elaborate:
I've only posted a few blinkies that I've made, and all of them were made with blinkies.cafe, which is super easy and is really just adding text to a template. I definitely don't need credit for these. Feel free to use them.
All of the others are ones I've found. If I give credit in the post, you should give the same credit if you use them. Many of my blinkies, however, are either from geocities (old company that hosted websites, no longer exists except via the internet archive) or I can't find who made them. Feel free to use these without giving credit to anyone, unless someone dms you claiming them.
Basically:
you never need to credit me, unless I post something I've made and I specify that.
Give credit to the makers whenever possible: even if it's not required, both the artists and collectors appreciate it.
geocities finds typically don't need credit; they're usually 20+ years old.
If you make a mistake and someone asks you to credit something, do it and move on. This happened a lot early on for me, and still sometimes. Most people aren't "mad" persay, they just want credit.
Hope this was helpful. I plan on going into more depth about this kind of thing in an internet guide I'll post in a couple of weeks.

hey!
so i recently finally made a neocities to put all my hoarded blinkies, stamps, and such. i LOVE some of yours, but theres one problem. erm…yours are massive. like, way bigger than any other blinkies
do you happen to know of a way to make them smaller, so they fit along with my other ones?
I use the blinkies.cafe generator for the majority of my blinkies, and they have four different size settings. I most often use the 450x60 px size because it looks nice and crisp on mobile (I make most posts on my phone).
These are the sizes:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I use this site (Online Image Editor) to resize gifs! It works well in my experience.
For my future reference: which size (in px) is the common blinkie size for neocities & such? I’ll be sure to make more in that size! I usually try to tag what size they are, so people can search by size.
Also let me know if there are specific blinkies you want resized (and what size); I can post em.
EDIT: it seems like blinkies are typically 150x20 px, rather small! My older blinkie posts are that size. I’ll try to go back and add tags so you don’t have to scroll back to 2019 to find them, lol.

Gimme a character+outfit to draw!
Heyo! Im wimbl! I do art and probably other stuff idk. I also run Daily-Pearl-Doodles! Probably won’t post much after the initial art dump. All blinkies made on blinkies.cafe!
I’m in a lot of fandoms, but I think the main ones r mcyt(mostly hermitpires circle, but I like dsmp stuff despite having not watched even a little bit of it), a lot of random webcomics (you should read the 3rd life game) and random fantasy books from my childhood which I might randomly reblog stuff from
more fandoms: tma+tmagp, the nice house on the lake, something is killing the children, Hilda, Death by Dying, Unwell(it made me unwell), the owl house, I started watching amphibia!, the Mistholme Museum of Mystery, Morbidity, and Mortality(still crying after that ending hahahhahahhahahhahahahah), haven’t finished welcome to nightvale and I probably won’t, and I started listening to midnight burger cuz it seems cool! I also am giving the white vault another try(finished the white vault it was intense)(relistened to it again it was a piece of art) am listening to chapter and multiverse(vampire cowboys?????), listening to spirit box radio!!!!!!, UNWELL CREATORS NEW PODCAST WORLD GONE WRONG???? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, am listening to the milkmen of st gaffs, that creator is talented as shit and the plot is wack
probably won’t finish but have listened to some of:
Neighborly
Somewhere, Ohio
I watch murder drones and helluvaboss but I never reblog anything from them really
I run Daily-Pearl-Doodles! Go give me a drawing rec over there!

blinkies.cafe template releases are changing!
We are changing the way we add new blinkie templates to blinkies.cafe!!
We have opened up blinkie template submissions!! Fill out this form to submit a blank template you’ve made.
We are changing our blinkie template release schedule. Going forwards, new templates will be released in themed Blinkie Packs (~9-18 templates each). We will announce the theme of the next Blinkie Pack several weeks in advance on Tumblr and in our Discord Server, and submissions fitting the theme will be prioritized!
This means that planning and creating blinkie templates will become a community effort, with lots of opportunities to have your templates featured on blinkies.cafe. So we’ve made a blinkies.cafe Discord Server for people to chat about blinkies! Feel free to join, especially if you’re interested in submitting templates. The Discord server is the main platform where we’ll be communicating with submitters re: their templates & future Blinkie Packs.
We’ll be announcing the theme of the first Blinkie Pack soon! Looking forward to working with you :3 
Tumblr media
(keep reading for personal rambles)
I started blinkies.cafe on October 15, 2021. There aren’t a lot of other blinkie generators on the Web, and I wanted to fill that gap by making a new one with more modern features & design. blinkies.cafe was a very small, experimental, and personal project. I made it my goal to add at least one template per week, because:
I wanted to build up a decent library of templates. Since I was the only one working on the project, weekly templates kept me progressing steadily towards that goal. I didn’t have much contact with old-web communities on Tumblr & Neocities and I wasn’t aware of anyone else that actively created blinkies.
I enjoyed the balance between the more-technical coding and less-technical gif editing. Often I found I didn’t have the energy for a coding session, but I did have energy to make a blinkie or two.
Now, more than a year later, blinkies.cafe is in a very different situation.
Lots of people are making really cool custom blinkies on Tumblr.
Many blinkie creators are interested in having me publish their blinkies as customizable templates on blinkies.cafe. Usually they are more skilled artists than I am, and they produce higher-quality blinkies at a faster rate than me.
Thanks to these creators – @transbro, @proxyrse, @pawpr1nc3 – we have 236 (!!!) customizable templates in our collection as of Dec 18 2022.
Basically, the project has matured a lot. We have a pretty hefty library of templates, and I spend more time processing submissions from other creators than making my own, so I no longer feel like I have to commit to weekly template releases to keep the project going.
Also, my personal & professional life is changing a lot – I have a career that excites me, relationships I care about, and I’m finally starting to catch up on a huge backlog of Adult Stuff I had been neglecting. This all translates to a very busy schedule, and the specific requirement to publish new blinkies each week has often conflicted with my other personal responsibilities.
I think the new release schedule with larger, less-frequent Blinkie Packs will be really good.
It’ll be fun to collaborate on larger packs of themed templates as a community!
I’ll be able to plan the releases to correspond with relevant dates.
I’ll have more freedom to plan & work on adding templates in a way that suits my personal schedule.
So I’m really looking forward to it!!! Thanks for reading this far <3
~ Amy

Tumblr doesn't let u pin multiple posts, so here's some posts I would pin too if I could :D (will grow over time)
Watch me go insane in real time
Crazy? I was crazy once
More about asks
More about me but in the form of a bad joke
Art (and not just art) resources
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Intro? Intro. I've decided to actually engage with OTHER HUMAN BEINGS. Sometimes. Occasionally. To talk about my silly little thoughts and silly little writing.
Agender, any pronouns/terms (neutral preferred), Aroace
I'm working on an original book called "Bound By Name". It has its own tag and if you want to know about it, be sure to check out #Bound By Name (intro post about it here) (I don't post much about it but I am in the process of writing!)
Author/fanfic writer
Bilingual (English/Czech)
My ao3
Askbox always open! Speak to me! Also if you have fic prompts or ideas you think I'd like/want me to write, throw them in there too!
DMs always open but say what you want right in the first message because I might not answer or panic block
Spam liking/reblogging/commenting is A-OK. I love to see people enjoying my silly little posts
Moot = can interact anytime all the time as much as they like I literally can't say how much I appreciate all of them
I mainly write SBI and beeduo (yes, in 2024) and talk about random stuff
All of my fics are strictly about the characters! All of them! Every single one!
Way more WIPs than completed works
Expect me talking about discontinued works, unfinished works, or those on hiatus, but I'll only be posting the finished ones on ao3! That's why they're taking so long
I only write for the DSMP fandom but some of my other interests include: D&D, Detroit: Become Human, EPIC: The Musical, Project SEKAI, Genshin, Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, The Magnus Archives and maybe getting into the life series
CRINGE CULTURE IS FUCKING DEAD
DNI: Basic DNI, just don't be weirdchamp and we'll probably get along. I really don't think I mind anyone with basic human decency. If I dislike something you do I'll just block
Not siding with anyone on any cc drama ever. All I'll say is do your research and base your opinions on concrete proof and verified facts. I might have my own opinion, but I will not be voicing it.
Blinkies and tag sorting under cut!
Tag sorting (started 22.05.2024 so anything earlier isn't gonna have them. Also I just forget to add them sometimes)
#textpost.bzzt - generic post that I made. Includes asks because I don't get enough of them to justify making a separate tag
#rbees.bzzt - reblogs. Can you tell I'm proud of that pun?
#artbees.bzzt - specifically art reblogs. Can you tell I'm even more proud of that pun? (I tend to reblog art multiple times, only one will be tagged)
#fandom.bzzt - fandom related posts. Can be any fandom. Art reblogs won't have it, mainly because I'm lazy
#mootsies.bzzt - anything related to my mutuals
#personal.bzzt - stuff that might be a bit more personal/talking about my personal life. No I'm not doxxing myself, just talking about my pets or experiences or whatever
#writing.bzzt - anything writing related
#onceinafullmoonramble.bzzt - my once in a full moon rambles. They're longer than my usual posts and can be about literally anything
#horizonverse.bzzt - anything related to the fanfic series "Event Horizon" by Hellenite on ao3. Will not be tagged with fandom or fic tags most of the time because I don't wanna spam them. I didn't have any part in the creation of it, it's just my special interest
#genshin dsmp fusion - a random au I post about that features the DSMP as a new genshin region and the members as playable characters! It's not a fic and I don't plan on writing it into one, I'm just rambling about my ideas for it

i figured i should probably finally get around to makin one of those pinned about me post things that people do, so, uhh, here it is!
heya, im Lake, also known as Melody, and my pronouns are it/fae/they/she. im very into Homestuck rn, as you can probably tell by, well, most of this blog. other than that, i like READING OTHER THINGS and playing lots of VIDEO GAMES. sometimes, if the mood strikes me, i will watch some CARTOONS. i also like to DRAW SOMETIMES, although im NOT VERY GOOD AT IT. one thing that i am good at though, or at least i like to think i am, is GUITAR
i usually alternate between rebloggin dozens of posts at once or not even openin this webbed site for days at a time, so i usually just queue all my posts so that it gets spread out over time instead. if i leave a like on a post, chances are itll be goin up as a reblog in a couple days
anyone cool really, but especially mutuals, PLEASE feel free to message me whenever. i love talkin to people im just perpetually terrified of being the one to message people first
uhh, i think thats most of what i wanted to put here, but there might be somefin i forgot, so i might add on to this later, or i might forget to do that too!! who knows? not i! my memory is an enigma!!
bunch of blinkies i made with (and some i just took from) blinkies.cafe under the cut!!

i vent often
i very often use this account as an outlet for me to vent. if you aren't comfortable with vents don't follow.
i WILL be talking shit about the UTMV
this thing is personal to me. i know some of you see my multiverse as fiction and a game, but you ARE messing with my life on the daily. i will not harass personally any creator here, but i AM going to interact with your content and rant about it. if you don't want this block me.
