COLORED TEXT MADE SUPER EASY

So, I promised a friend that I would make this tutorial. It shows you how to create colored custom text without having to keep going into HTML to do it. You will only need to do HTML a single time, and then after that, just going into your drafts and copying will give you the same effect! Like / Reblog / Comment if you find this helpful.

go to this website

write some words or even use the symbols you wish to use in your replies in certain colors. ● for example, ❝ ❞

Highlight the text

click what is circled in blue then pick your color

go to SOURCE and copy the html.

go to tumblr

click a new text post

click the little gear shift

go to the text editor section and select HTML editor

paste the HTML that you had copied from the roleplay formatted.

hit preview

save this to your dafts. Open your drafts back up

copy the text and move it to whatever response you are trying to use this color. You can then put your cursor at the end of the word. Hit the triangle keys on your keyboard that go left to right.

Once the word is highlighted like this you can then edit that section to say whatever you want it to say

go about your reply like normal!

Please be mindful that not everyone uses the same dashboard colors, and some can't read colored text. I use colored text minimally

Executables' Guide to Handpainting Textures for The Sims 2 | Download PDF (67 pages)

Have you ever wondered how to paint clothing textures from scratch?

I've been using paid software like Milkshape, Photoshop, and 3D Coat Textura to texture Sims 2 models for years, but I've managed to translate my process to completely free open-source software!

I've broken down the entire process from start to finish for complete beginners (who may never have made a clothing recolour package before), but more experienced CC creators can skip around as needed using the PDF bookmarks.

You don't need a graphics tablet– but you may want one once you've played around with this! :)

The clothing shown on the cover is also downloadable through the document.

Hope this inspires you to make something! :D

Heyy I love your DA art so much! I just want to ask if you don't mind especially on your family DA piece. Do you render first before putting the lighting/effect or do you do the opposite? I always struggle when drawing illustration like that because I just can't get the lightning right after I put the main shadow

Thank you and no problem!

My process was honestly rather sporadic because I'm not used to work on big pieces like this, especially those with warm colors (like browns, oranges, gold, etc) so it was honestly a challenge.

It's gonna be a long answer so im just gonna put the whole process below this cut

I tried doing everything in base colors first. No shadow no nothin. At this stage im trying to make sure that the base colors are all in the same, warmish tone so nothing felt out of place (left)

I was absolutely stuck on how i should do the shading, so i asked a friend for advice and she painted it over a little to give me an idea (right) (sorry the quality is ass cus its a tiny thumbnailing thing)

then i focus on the main subjects, i dont entirely shade them yet i just give some discoloration and color details like blush, dirt, subtle ones. I colored the lineart too (but i suggest you do this later after your shading)

then the shading, i carve it out from the multiply layer (as my friend suggested, lighting came from top left so i follow that suggestion)

added more contras (multiply & overlay) to add more depth and pop some more color

now that im done with the main subject, I got a good glimpse on what tone I should do for the rest of the artwork. Dark red for areas i need darker, and something of a gold/orange for the brighter spots.

i shade the background manually without using multiply, since im worried itll be muddy (easier for me to control too).

once everything is shaded, check on your artwork using a B/W layer. Everything still feel flat to me so I know i need to add more contras in the light & shadow

At this point im just throwing in Mulitply layer (reddish, green sometimes) to darken some areas outside of the focus and Overlay layer (yellow, orange, whites) to highlight the important parts and to emphasize where the light is coming from.

Check it again in the B/W layer, and it feels way better!

and there it is!

I added a few personal effects at the finishing, copying the lineart and gaussian-blur it, add speckles, add noise, color balance it a little. Poof. We're done :D

Hope that helps!

I finally got around to emptying out my Google Docs in just another step of un-shittifying my digital writing life. I uploaded my docs to Proton Docs, which has improved so much from the last time I tried it out that it's almost identical to GDocs now. Minus the AI and lack of privacy.

Here's a tutorial if you'd like to do the same.

Moving Your Fics from Google Docs to Proton Docs

You will of course need a Proton account for this. Please note that the instructions below are performed on desktop.

Part One: Getting Your Stuff Off Google

1. Navigate to your Google Drive.

2. Under the big Search bar, you'll see a dropdown menu called Type. Click it and select Documents. This will display all of your documents.

3. Click on one document to highlight it, then hit CTRL + A to Select All.

4. Right click and select Download.

5. Your documents will download into a zip file. Unzip the folder and extract your files to another folder on your computer.

NOTE: Google uses its own file format to handle documents. When you download your documents, they will be Word (.docx) files.

Go through your downloaded documents and make sure they're all there before deleting them from Google. You can delete by selecting all using the method above, right clicking, and hitting Remove.

Part Two: Upload Your Fics to Proton

1. Navigate to your Proton Drive (proton.me/drive). It comes free with your Proton email.

2. On your PC, highlight all the documents that you want to upload and simply drag and drop them into your Proton Drive.

3. You're ready to rock and roll.

NOTE: When you upload your documents to your Proton Drive, they will retain the .docx file type described in the above note. Once you open a .docx file in Proton Docs, a copy will be made of that file. You will see this when you navigate back to your Proton Drive. You may delete the extra .docx file and continue to use the Proton document instead (recommended).

Additional: You can download the Proton Drive app for mobile and enjoy the same cross-device reading and editing capability as Google.

Something to post for the meantime that I can't draw anything new! This patreon request from 2022! They have a little more anime-ish facial features for some reason. (Must be my inspiration at the time.)

They're dressed up because of some important event. It was Connie's day, (a promotion? Idk what specifically tho.) but she just wanted a simple makeup so Steven toned down his own to hopefully not take the attention away from her.

Page 2 might be confusing. There's a headcanon that Steven can store a couple of things in his gem, and here he positioned their hands over his stomach to place the glow bracelet.

To disclose!! (if I'm using the word correctly?) , there's a NSFW continuation of this. So be warned.

thinking about my frustrations with the current system we live under and realizing my experiences (constantly having very little money, thus preventing me from buying things except once in a blue moon unless there's a free option available) are not universal. however i am charging headlong down making a mobile game, and while i probably will put ads into it bc im a broke bitch i refuse to let it be just another of the hundreds of half-assed tutorial projects with a quadspillion ads in them apiece

but this leads me to a conundrum.

i want to have cute little skins for the player character that can be "bought" through one of two things: achieving a cumulative score high enough to unlock it, or by watching a certain number of ads willingly. notably, i refuse to use the ones that interrupt the gameplay out of nowhere and do nothing except pay me, even if they technically pay app makers more than any other kind of ad.

i'm just not sure exactly how to implement it:

should the "unlock via Playing The Game" skins be completely separate from the "watch x number of ads" skins?

should the "unlock via Playing The Game" option be available on the same skins that have the "watch x number of ads" option?

should the "watch x number of ads" thing be reworked into just "watch an ad to add x amount to your current spendable score"?

should i go the scummy route and implement flat-out in-app purchases for if someone doesn't want to watch an ad to get a skin??? does anybody actually do that????? i'm too broke to comprehend the existence of that kind of person but they have to exist if half-assed apps (and tbh whole-assed apps) keep on acting like they're real

should i forfeit my dignity and integrity and do lootboxes

[nyoomerr]

You gave me some writing advice a while back, and I published my first fic!! :D I knew writing was difficult, but I didn't really expect myself to struggle with something that wasn't even 5k words. I truly gained more respect for fanfic authors, and I really want to focus now I'm developing my writing skills since I'm still pretty mediocre. Also I didn't expect to be so confused when it came to publishing on AO3 lol but I'm learning everyday. Tagging is hard...

that's awesome !!! but don't put yourself down - i think there's an important distinction in thinking to yourself "my work is mediocre" vs "i'd personally like to develop my work in X ways" - in my own experience, framing things in the later way helps keep motivation and joy in what i do.

EITHER WAY THOUGH CONGRATS !!! i hope you enjoyed it and that it can be a fulfilling hobby for you :>

INDIE ROLEPLAY SET UP :

You must give credit if you take some or all of my set-up pieces as your own. This doesn't include the templates that I didn't make. But if you use the same templates, tagging, format, etc as me or some of the mixed bags (not just templates alone) then crediting me is mandatory as you didn't come up with the mixed bag.

some of the templates I used in my set up are NOT made by me. There is credit linked for everyone to grab them if you want.

if you have any questions please feel free to message me

PINNED POST

URL HERE a BLANK TYPE OF BLOG written by ALLIAS ( PRONOUNS / PRONOUNS, +AGE, TIMEZONE ). All triggers are tagged extensively. All muses are canon divergent, influenced by their source material. this blog doesn't adhere to strict canon. STARTED ON 00 / 00 / 0000.

guidelines . . . muse list . . . navigation . . . meme tag . . . writing sample . . . interaction call . . . promo . . . blogroll . . . credits . . . spotify . . . pinterest . . . sideblog

used this header psd by carestuff but edited ● font I used was Blackadder ITC for the top, Forte for the bottom

used this website for a fancy font ( I used the font called "BOLD FONT" )

Casual reminder that if you link a Google doc or to Spotify, that it will show your name, so make sure you are using a roleplay / burner based account so no one has access to your personal information, such as your real name.

TAGGING SYSTEM

I created this section in Google Docs for every single one of my muses. Below is a link to the symbols I used.

❥ . . . ( tester | tester )

ARC VS VERSE : every single character gets both an arc and a verse that is undecided. Since you can search by both ARC and VERSE, I felt this would make the most sense. A verse is the overreaching section, so for example, SUPERNATURAL is a show, so it gets its own verse. Now for an ARC, I would be putting different sections in for, say, I want Hope to have a soulless arc, then that would be where that would go. Or say I want Hope to have an arc that she has her humanity off, it would fall under the arc section. It's not a big enough theme for me to make it a whole verse.

I can use the tag of no humanity in an arc repeatedly. Combined with, say, searching my Queen of Nola verse and the arc of no humanity, it should give you all of the information written about her no humanity time in said verse. Above picture shows you how I format my verse posts.

CHARACTER ID: This is an overreaching tag that covers pretty much anything written by me for that character, so answered asks, interactions, headcanons, drabbles, etc. all fall in line with this. You could also add it to your visage and musing tags, but I personally don't find that helpful.

This is an example of my tags underneath a reply of mine. More will be explained soon about what everything else means.

This is what I used to tag all the different types of calls I make. So someone can click on, say my meme call, and get to like a call for them to be sent memes.

Any reblogged content went here minus the ask memes, but you could very well put ask memes there as well.

This section is anything related to my set up. Now, I have two different blogs (more to come on why I do that later). This kind of shows you how I break things up.

The extra section is really anything that I couldn't figure out where it might go. So promos, scheduled posts, dash games, etc.

This one feels very self-explanatory. Anything that I personally want saved goes here

This section is anything created by me or something I agree with strongly. Graphics are different than my adventures in ps. The first for me is like character edits, while the second one is maybe asking for opinions or showing people what I am excited for.

I'm not a huge talker in the tags person. However, I do find a few things helpful to point out like when something might be triggering, if one should look at a link I put in my replies, making sure that people know to send the whole prompt not just the symbol (in case it takes me a moment to get it done and I need to know what the instructions for the meme was to prevent deleting a meme because all I see is a symbol or word and therefore have no idea which meme it is attached to. Sending the whole sentence is helpful and doesn't require a two-step process like asking for the meme and the link simultaneously. It is also beneficial to tell people to tell me what muse things are for as well, so that way I am not playing a guessing game.

The potentially triggering topic for me is an overall tag for triggers. I do also break it down into say " clowns tw " as well just for blacklisting purposes. However, the blanket tag covers so that say I forget someone is triggered by something and I forgot to tag it, there is a possibility that this might save it a little bit.

This section of tagging is where I get an overview of things. So, say you aren't looking for any muse's writing in particular that you want to see, but you want to see if we are a good fit to write together. Then you might want to see all my writing, which has answered asks, headcanons, drabbles, and interactions in it. Or maybe you only want to see thread interactions, so you'd go to all replies.

Since there might be a lot of tags (depending on if you are a multiuse or not), I recommend using a Google Docs or a draft post to hold all of your tags for easy keeping.

FORMATTING

The two dividers are from two different sources. The thin one was made by theresourcedhunted, and the thick one was made by dividing by underesources. However, I edited it to remove many of the fancy pieces as I wanted something a tad simpler.

To make my gifs centered without editing them, I use THIS blank space / image.

❝ ❞ is what I use for my dialogue around spoken words. ● A tutorial on making adding coloring to your replies faster without going into the HTML, but a single time. You could always use the few colors tumblr has built in for simplicity.

There are about 4 to 5 spaces between my dialogue and the rest of my text. I'm still trying to figure out what I like personally in that department.

To simplify things, if you use a Windows computer to hotkey and streamline some things, I use aText, a Microsoft Store application. All I have to do is enter a specific combo of letters and words to get a unique key or spacing that I set up myself.

【 ✉️ 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 】 : this is for any sent messages by my muse. Again, the fancy font is the same one I used in my pinned post. You could use fancy emojis and things. I colored the text of the name and bold it. The actual text is in a small-sized font along with regular normal Tumblr font.

【 📩 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 】 : this is what I tend to use for messages that my message receives. So, if I am writing a reply that my muse is talking to their friend, but my muse's mother texts them, and I want to show it, that is how I do it.

I personally like to link in headcanons in my replies and things for others to read if needed, share links to songs that might be heard in a reply, or pinterest links to images of maybe the muse's style that is relevant to a reply. I mentioned this in my rules so others know that there will never me links to malware or anything else and is always in good faith.

My formatting doesn't really change for headcanons. I use bolded fonts for the header of each headcanon. Then, bullet points might make it easier for others to find information and read.

every post that I make that isn't a starter tends to follow the same spacing that I mentioned being between my dialogue and using the same bolded font that I always use and was linked above.

Now onto another important thing being what all do I make headers for?

photoshop adventures

liveblogging tv shows

out of character posts

biography post

links section

arcs section

lore post

headcanon post

locations post ● pretty much anything that I think of that could use a title gets a header

You can find my stats template HERE

To show dead pets, siblings, parents, etc. I tend to use ✞ for deceased family and pets

the icon template that I made (without the fade to black)

fade to black ( photoshop action ).

This is what I am currently working on icons for my blog.

gif made by me. could use any template from HERE

my dash icon is currently from HERE, but you could use anything from HERE

MUSE LIST

This is what my muse list looks like. All of my stats go to my sideblog. My sideblog's pinned post looks like my pinned post on my main blog. For the title of all fandoms, they are in the same bold heading that I have done thus far.

OPEN . . . means accepting memes & starters without plotting SEMI SELECTIVE . . . means accepting memes & starters without plotting but will be slower to respond SELECTIVE . . . means accepting memes & starters but would prefer plotting with this muse and I will be slower to respond PLOT BASED . . . means that I don't accept memes & starters for this muse without plotting first. If you ignore this, then your request / meme will be denied. EXCLUSIVE . . . means that this muse is for only a certain number of people. click the link on their name to figure out who this meme is for.

These few things explain what my muse list is like regarding organization.

Alright, here is a tip. If you have several tags and want to narrow down, say, a certain verse that has headcanons about it, as long as you know what the tag names are, you could enter both tags separated by a + in the middle to get all the posts between two tags (and possibly more, but I have not checked that out). So, if you are really organized tag-wise, then you can easily filter things out.

[sleepyangelkami]

hiii, I am writer 2 and I wanted to know how to get my colors like that, to fade and look different like yours

hello angel! I use this website (click the word 'this' it'll take you to it) you pick your colours, type out your words and click generate colour faded text. then you're gonna wanna go ahead and copy the long link in the box it generates. when you switch back to tumblr, create a post and click the little settings button. here, you can scroll down to text editor and change "rich text" to "HTML" and only then do you paste your long link. click back to rich text and everything should be perfect!! 🩷

@thedragon-and-hisboy got me into httyd & I just got a bullet notebook so… here is a simple common-build body tutorial (for a medium-to-large size dragon in borosilicate glass)

[whoreiaki-kakyoin]

MY THESIS DEFENSE WENT REALLY WELL 😭

Arven would pick me up and twirl me around and make a big deal of smothering me in kisses. He’d cook me something special and we’d go have a picnic to celebrate 🥹🥰

Maybe I’ll see what I have around and have lunch or dinner outside today like it’s alittle picnic date with Arven 🙈

[i-may-be-an-emu]

hello! i've been watching sfth edits all day (including yours! big fan!), and i just wanted to ask what your editing process is like? what program do you use, how long do they usually take, how do you get all the footage, etc? i really want to try making edits, but it's all new to me and i don't really know where to start

Hello!! That’s definitely a great way to spend the day :D (and thank you <3)

I’ve only been editing for a year so I’m honestly still learning, too :)

I don’t really know how I do it, I generally only edit when ideas actually come to me otherwise I won’t be motivated enough to finish it. Most of the time it’s just hearing a song and going “that’s exactly like this character/ship/moment” and then I put them together. Making them can take anywhere from an hour or two to a week, depends on how motivated I am. (A week from beginning to end- not of actually doing it)

I’m making an edit now so I’m gonna basically just say what I’m doing :) this will be long and I’m sorry if I’m bad at explaining things 😅

Find song and get the audio

I save tiktoks with potentially good audios into a folder and used one of those today. I also just use songs I know or hear. I generally go to youtube and screen record it, then I can “upload audio from video” when editing.

2. Screen record clips and then upload them to the editing software of your choice.

I use inshot but have also used capcut, recommend inshot more. (Only used the free versions, which is the reason I don’t use capcut- the free version is very limited in my opinion and I’ve found inshot to be better in this aspect)

(I edit on my phone, this “tutorial” is in the context of using inshot on a phone :))

I choose moments that I find fit with the lyrics. Usually I kinda see the moments in my mind?? when I listen to the song and am thinking of how the edit will go, so I then find those moments in the video.

3. Add the audio and mute the clips

(I generally mute the actual clips, sometimes I play with having lines of the dialogue in the edit, but for starting to edit I’d say it’s simpler to mute the clip audio and focus on the music)

The “extract audio from video” will allow you to import to screen recording of the song.

you’ll probably want to also cut the audio, you do this with the “split” tool when you have the audio open (so click on the lil “audio” button) you can also fade in or out the audio with the “edit” tool (the pencil)

Dragging whatever you have open (like the image or the audio or the captions) will let you put that little white line on wherever you want to make a cut.

4. Cut the clips to fit the audio and adjust them where needed. You can also change the aspect ratio of the edit to be whatever, I like to make it 1:1 (square)

You can see here that I split the clip using the “split” tool, then deleted the part I didn’t want (marked with the star) by clicking on it and then pressing the “delete” button.

Above is how to make it cropped 1:1 or cropped to be whatever aspect ratio you want. You can also do this manually (which I did for AGES before realising this was possible and way easier.)

5. Add text, filters, overlays, text ect.

Have a play around and try to make it look good, is my honest advice. I don’t really have my rhyme or reason for what I do with filters/adjustments, just try and make it look harmonious.

You can use the “duplicate” tool for text to keep any changes you make to it (like colour and size) consistent.

6. Adding transitions

I don’t actually do this all the time because I kinda like how it looks without any transitions. I’m not going to do it for this edit, but if I were to do it, I’d probably use the “animation” tool. You can also click on the white square with the “\”symbol to add a transition, but that can mess up with the timing of your clips because it merges them.

7. Make it all clean and smooth

You’ll probably have to do this a lot, at least I do. Just pretty much watching it over and over looking out for any jumps or bits that don’t look right and then lining them up.

In inshot, you can drag the thing you’re working on to line up with another aspect and it should “snap” into place which is a very handy feature.

8. Export

I usually end up exporting an edit at least four times because I’ll watch the final product and go “oh that looks bad” so I just kinda keep going until I’m happy with it. Inshot allows you to remove the watermark by watching ads, which I do. I then export it in 4K (because who needs storage right?) and voilà :)

Hopefully this is a helpful guide for you, anon!

[all-purpose-dish-soap]

hi, can i get a tutorial on how to put tags as a link? i wanna do mine for my blogs 😞

sure! i assume you're referring to this sort of thing i do in my masterlist and at the bottom of my posts to point readers toward similar content--

more Price / more Gaz / masterlist

how to make tumblr tags into links

first, and this may go without saying, but make sure you have at least one post on your blog with the tag you intend to link.

first method: desktop (recommended)

1. navigate to your blog on the left-hand sidebar.

2. then, on the other sidebar--right side--select "view blog." you should be seeing your blog the way any other user would, including its custom colors, header image, etc.

3. navigate to the post with the tag you want to turn into a link.

4. go to the post's tags and right-click the one you want (or command-click; whatever it takes to bring up the menu).

5. copy the url from there. the url should look something like "https://www.tumblr.com/[yourblogname]/tagged/[thetagyouwant]." alternatively, left-click the tag and let it take you to the "[...]/tagged/[thetagyouwant]" page itself, then copy that url from your address bar.

6. now, wherever you want to add it (like in a new post), type out the text you want to display--

all my homemade posts

7. --highlight it, and and use tumblr's hyperlink function to link the "[...]/tagged/[thetagyouwant]" url to that text.

8. click the linked text you made just to be sure. you should end up with something like this:

all my homemade posts

second method: mobile

this method is more roundabout. i haven't found a way to do this solely through the app, so you'll need to use a combination of the tumblr app + your phone's browser.

1. navigate to your blog in the tumblr app .

2. navigate to the post with the tag you want to turn into a link.

3. select the arrow at the bottom of the post to send/open the link in your browser of choice. alternatively, select the meatball menu (•••) in the top-right corner of the post, copy the link, go to your browser of choice, and open that copied url.

4. in your browser, go to the tags of your post and select the one you want.

5. copy the url from there. the url should look something like "https://www.tumblr.com/[yourblogname]/tagged/[thetagyouwant]." alternatively, select the tag and let it take you to the "[...]/tagged/[thetagyouwant]" page itself, then copy that url from your address bar.

6. now, wherever you want to add it (like in a new post), type out the text you want to display--

all my homemade posts

7. --highlight it, and and use tumblr's hyperlink function to link the "[...]/tagged/[thetagyouwant]" url to that text.

8. you should end up with something like this:

all my homemade posts

and you're done. happy hyperlinking! b(￣▽￣)d

My friend and I made our Math Projects Limbus themed and he put several inside jokes our teachers would definitely not understand but I love this screenshot too much to not share it
