Ash's writing wisdoms: Have an idea of what you want before trying to format in ao3

Today's writing challenge: how many non-breaking spaces ( ) does it take to get the look I want?

Or maybe I should make it gold instead??

I wonder what this looks liiiike~~

Going to put all this in its own post too by popular request: here's how you make your own website with no understanding of HTML code at all, no software, no backend, absolutely nothing but a text file and image files! First get website server space of your own, like at NEOCITIES. The free version has enough room to host a whole fan page, your art, a simple comic series, whatever! The link I've provided goes to a silly comic that will tell you how to save the page as an html file and make it into a page for your own site. The bare minimum of all you need to do with it is JUST THIS:

Change the titles, text, and image url's to whatever you want them to be, upload your image files and the html file together to your free website (or the same subfolder in that website), and now you have a webpage with those pictures on it. That's it!!!!! .....But if you want to change some more super basic things about it, here's additional tips from the same terrible little guy:

That last code by itself is: <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=001.html"> Change "001.html" to wherever you want that link to take people. THIS IS THE REASON WHY when you go to bogleech.com/pokemon/ you are taken instantly to the newest Pokemon review, because the /pokemon/ directory of my website has an "index.html" page with this single line of code. Every pokemon review has its own permanent link, but I change that single line in the index file so it points to the newest page whenever I need it to! While I catered these instructions to updating a webcomic, you can use the same template to make blog type posts, articles or just image galleries. Anything you want! You can delete the navigational links entirely, you can make your site's index.html into a simple list of text links OR fun little image links to your different content, whatever! Your website can be nothing but a big ugly deep fried JPEG of goku with a recipe for potato salad on it, no other content ever, who cares! We did that kind of nonsense all the time in the 1990's and thought it was the pinnacle of comedy!! Maybe it still can be?!?! Or maybe you just want a place to put some artwork and thoughts of yours that doesn't come with the same baggage as big social media? Make a webpage this way and it will look the same in any browser, any operating system for years and years to come, because it's the same kind of basic raw code most of the internet depends upon!

What do you think Artyom and Nikita (mostly Nikita) would think of their "fans" ?

Oh, Artyom likes having "fans". Knowing that someone is interested in him, and someone sees him as something more, tries to understand him, shows him sympathy, must stroke his ego. Although Daphne said somewhere that he was still kind of shocked by it, that he didn't understand it. Two things can be true at once.

May 22, 2023. "Vlada, hi. Got the letter on May 5th. • To be honest, it's an interesting admission — the interest in Nikita's and my philosophy... O_O I'm being completely serious: this is the first time I've seen something like this. I'm very flattered. =)"

June 26, 2023. "The reaction to the sudden popularity was calm. Although I was wildly freaking surprised. But at the same time, remained calm =D"

Although I bet he'd have cringed at some stuff and tried his best to ignore it and focus on something else.

January 6, 2024. "How I feel about trolls on the internet. I don't give a hoot about the internet and everyone who lives in it =) I hardly ever go there, so I don't come into contact with trolls."

As for Nikita, it's hard to say. Back then, he wanted attention and recognition. I'm sure both of them had fun playing Among Us in real life. Law enforcement officials said that they kind of liked talking about their crimes, that someone listened to them, paid attention to everything they said. They got what they wanted: attention and being treated seriously. They posed a real threat, they felt powerful, they were capable of changing lives.

Later, I think, the shame and realization woke up. Half a year after their arrest, Nikita said that he no longer needed all this, and that he felt ashamed. In November 2012, he said, "I feel sick/bad when I think about what I have done."

In June or early July 2012, Nikita gave an interview to a newspaper: — Why is Anoufriev supported on social media, but you don't have any fans? Is he more ideological? — I don't really care about this idea at all.

What I'm trying to say is that Nikita only talked to his mom and gave interviews to a couple of newspapers and journalists because they asked him, not because he was particularly eager for it. In short, he wasn't looking for contact. Just like his whole life before that. So I think he didn't even know about his "fans", or he wasn't very interested. Who knows exactly why there's not a single letter from Nikita from prison. He had no one to write to but his family. And I'm not really sure if someone else knew his address to write to him. Besides, he was a very closed-off, anxious and depressed person, I doubt that he wanted to communicate with strangers. Who knows what they might have written to him? All kinds of threats and insults? He knew it himself.

I think he'd have distanced himself from it all and disappeared into the shadows. At the same time, I'm not denying the possibility that he would be interested if he found out about the "fans". Just a sizeable maybe. But I think that he, just like Artyom, would be extremely surprised, confused and wouldn't understand this. Maybe he wouldn't necessarily have thought anything about their "fans". Maybe he'd have thought it was weird. Perhaps he'd constantly wonder why people were interested in him, if there was any catch in it, if they were actully laughing at him? Maybe he wouldn't really care.

But he'd totally be weirded the fuck out because of some of you, especially if it had to do with his looks and something romantic/sexual in general.

Of course, he knew about TCC, but he suddenly found himself on the receiving end of that interest. And I think he'd have been very distant with his "fans". He was never a talker, and even less with a bunch of different people. Maybe, by some miracle, he'd have managed to make a couple of friends (hopefully better than those he had before, just someone nice and compassionate instead of someone interested in very dark stuff; however, Nikita was very deeply convinced that he was nothing good, and that he didn't deserve anything good; besides, all these positive and pacifistic things were alien to his mentally ill, disappointed in the world, people and himself brain; there's comfort in suffering and misery, if it's something you've been used to since an early age, because it's familiar, and getting better requires a desire to change, effort and energy, which depressed people have very little of). Anyway, who knows how it'd have affected him. Don't encourage mentally ill person's bad tendencies.

I really hate to post something like this on an account called uke-zone, but there's not much choice. I'm going to be homeless in a month.

For the past 2 years, I’ve been stuck in a toxic job because I took the first one I could get without reliable transport. I’ve been working as a web admin, making $14,400 a year. My rent is $12,360 a year, not including bills. I scraped by, constantly stressed, and exhausted. I lived alone after leaving an abusive family environment, so I just kept going.

Four days ago I was given a termination notice—the day after I refused to violate FCC guidelines. They wanted me to add a static list of customers to an email list, without allowing them to unsubscribe, and I couldn’t let myself be complicit or get hit with a $5,000 fine.

No savings, no support system, and no cushion. I won't survive the next month if I'm evicted. There is just straight up nowhere to go.

If you’re able to help me keep a roof over my head while I continue the job search, please drop a $20 or the most that won't hurt here: paypal.me/Ymukhopadhyay

In Texas, unemployment takes at least 4 weeks, assuming no disputes, and with my employer that's not happening. Rent is due. I’d be eligible for $143 a week, which... isn’t even close to enough to keep a roof over my head or eat. I couldn’t pay one month of rent if I tried. I'm looking down the barrel of being homeless again, and would frankly rather be dead.

If you have any need for a web developer, designer, or multimedia content specialist, I'd appreciate any support there as well, whether through projects or referrals.

I need to survive the next 30 days to not be constantly on the verge of losing everything. Going back to living paycheck-to-paycheck with no security and no safety net isn't an option. I was terrified one mistake or one bad turn could leave me with nothing until it did.

If you can’t offer help, I understand. But if you can, I'm begging in random tags on the Internet because I don’t want to be homeless again.

GoFundMe, if PayPal isn't an option

Thanks for reading this. ❤️

hello i’m not sure if you take fic requests (if not, ignore this), i am pretty new to your page but i’ve been reading your fanfics only for the past month and i can’t seem to stop. so i’m here asking you if you could write anything izuru centered ? or if not centered around him i would be perfectly happy reading something even remotely connected to him. i really liked the restaurant review stories with rose since he’s even less popular than izuru… i also love him, renji and momo written together. if you ever think about him please do not keep it to yourself and share it with us, i’d love to read your thoughts! but really anything is fine, i’d just like to read more about izuru

So for the record (mostly to keep other people from asking), I am not doing requests right now, but when I got this, it occurred to me that I write about Kira all the time, but always as a supporting character. I should write a story about Kira, I told myself, he deserves it for all the time I have forced him to be a bystander to Renji's terrible lovelife.

Of course, ten minutes into brainstorming, I remembered why I don't write Kira stories, which is that I like him, but I don't like any of the things that happen to him. I do not want to write about Gin. I do not want to write about The Hole. Normally, I would just write (yet another) Academy story, but I have an Academy thing I noodle around on sometimes and if I had any story ideas, I'd rather use them there. I went through most of the Kira tag on ao3 for inspiration and mostly what I got out of that is that people sure love to ship him, which just made me feel like Kira deserved a story that was about him.

Anyway, then I remembered that I am very interested in Kira's time at Squad 4, even though (perhaps because?) we know almost nothing about it. So, here you go. Of course, Renji is in it, too, because what am supposed to do, write something without Renji in it?

🩸 💥 🩹

here's to moving on ( ao3, registered users only )

Summary: Kira doesn't know how he thought he was going to transfer to Squad 4 and not run into the only person in the Seireitei who makes worse career decisions than he does.

Starring: Kira and Renji, with special appearances from Iemura, Ogidou, Kotetsu the Taller, and Iba

Dear tumblerinas, I am holding your hands very gently and begging you all to please check your colour contrast when customising your blogs 🥺

I'd love to read your bios, but I can't when the text and background are only two shades apart. My eyes aren't even that bad, but gee weez, don't make me strain them 🥺

Note: this isn't aimed at anyone in particular, just something I have been observing lately. Especially on newer/younger blogs, but not exclusively. If, however, you do feel this *is* aimed at you though, well. Check your colours babes 💙

awful (why):

better (but not ideal):

good (i love you):

Remember: dark on light or vice-versa; don't make both tones super desaturated or muted. You can have a dark and mysterious aesthetic without damaging everyone's vision 🥺 if you make backgrounds neon-bright, I'm coming for your kneecaps.

A little adjustment goes a long way babes. You are so brave and sexy and capable, I believe in you 💖

Working on my javascript for my web page. Turns out I have the perfect kind of setup to accomplish some of the project requirements, specifically with even handlers and user interactions

My website, conceptually, will load a different employee details page depending on what employee name is clicked on. But I need to load it dynamically (instead of hard-coding it) so that the user can add or delete employees & it'll be able to still load the relevant shit.

So! Only one employee details page, but depending on how it's loaded, it'll load a different employee's information. Still working on getting down Exactly how to do it (I'm thinking using URL parameters that'll read a different object depending on what ID is used)

It's entirely doable. In fact, it's probably extremely common to do in web pages. No one wants to hard-code information for every new object. Of course not. And thus the usefulness of dynamic javascript stuff.

I can do this. I can very much do this.

🌀 WHY TF DID NOBODY TELL ME ABOUT THIS? I JUST RESTORED A SECRET SONIC GENERATIONS PORT! 😱💻

Alright, brace yourselves because I’m about to drop a HUGE bombshell. 💥 I was digging through the deepest corners of the internet, as usual, when I stumbled across something that completely blew my mind.

I FOUND A SECRET SONIC GENERATIONS PORT FOR THE WII U. 😱

Yes, you read that right. This is not a drill. There was a secret, never-released port of Sonic Generations for the Wii U, and it got scrapped before anyone could even play it! This port was supposed to be an exclusive release in 2014, with off-TV play, Miiverse support, and some crazy exclusive challenge stages. But for reasons that remain a mystery, it was pulled from shelves and forgotten.

But here’s the kicker: I found it.

Well, kinda.

I was snooping around and found an old, broken web page that had all the details — but here’s the thing, the page is a mess. Some serious corruption happened, and the original content is half-broken. 😩 All the text and images are jumbled, and nothing works like it’s supposed to. But... it’s still alive.

And guess what? The real link to the game is lost forever. This is it — the only piece of the puzzle that survived. What I’ve restored here is all that’s left of that secret Sonic Generations port. There’s no way to get the game now, and it’s basically a collector’s dream that’s sold out forever.

I honestly can’t believe I’m even typing this. �� The Wii U version had exclusive content, special stages, and even unique features like off-TV gameplay — it was a gem that nobody ever got their hands on, and now, it's just gone. Forever.

I feel like I’ve just uncovered some kind of gaming artifact, and it’s the only thing left standing between us and history. 🚨

Here's the Broken Web Page I Managed to Restore 👇( restored in neocities bc its html and u dont own it)

Click on the link to see what’s left of the secret Sonic Generations Wii U port. Everything looks corrupted, but it’s still something!

(Note: The actual game is lost, and this page is all that’s left.)

Honestly, I’m still in shock. How was this never shared with the world? WHY did they pull this from shelves? Why has it been buried for so long? I feel like I’ve discovered something the world was meant to forget.

This is a lost piece of Sonic history, and I’m the one who found it. 😤

Let me know if you’ve heard anything about this before, or if you think I just stumbled onto a piece of gaming history that nobody else knew about. 💬👀
