Keysmashes are my favorite feedback to get, because this is what I hear.

The best part of making a popular post on Tumblr is getting to see all the different ways people do keysmashes

Happy Birthday, Alhaitham!

I wouldn't have guessed I'd bump into you two in a Sumeru tavern.

Here to give me your wishes? Thank you, it is indeed my birthday. I just hope that today will be as relaxing and enjoyable as any other.

The signature dish here at Lambad's Tavern is fish rolls. You should give them a try if you're interested.

If you stay a little longer, you'll see a couple of other familiar faces too. They're coming over from Avidya Forest, so they should be arriving any moment.

When there's something that calls for a celebration, we meet at the tavern — that's how it's always been with us four.

another ole collection of one piece doodles...enjoy

The welcoming and friendly and bright facade of "Mother" and the family she raised at the Hearth, whose cruelty was hidden just beneath the surface - raising children as brothers and sisters so that they might slaughter each other in the future for the title of "King",

Versus

Arlecchino as the "strict" and "unfeeling" and cold and emotionally distant Father, who teaches her children that they should rely on each other, love each other, cherish each other and their own lives, stand on their own two feet in the world. The names of Arlecchino's constellations - "You shall become a new member of our family / You shall love and protect each other henceforth / For alone, we are as good as dead / From this day on, we shall delight in new life together" - are her teachings to the children of the House (and her hopes, too - we shall delight in new life together).

And the warm gentleness in her voice when she begins speaking - "come with me" - that turns into cold monotone, "like a strict and unfeeling Father". You can literally hear the moment she creates the persona of that "cold", "unfeeling", "strict" Father, when she puts on her mask.

And that's not even getting into how it's also a continuation of this vicious cycle - "I will raise you as my child" - because while Arlecchino's House is certainly leagues better than Crucabena's, she is still raising soldiers and ultimately leading many of them to their deaths* (despite her best efforts, it seems), she is actively priming Lyney to be the next "King", and the throne of the "King" is upheld by much death and bloodshed.

*As an aside, I gotta wonder if Arlecchino's crimes were pardoned only in exchange for her becoming a Harbinger, so now she's locked into a job where she has to raise more child soldiers and send them to die, just like her siblings were sent to die. It would explain why Childe clocks her loyalty to the Tsaritsa as being very shaky (him being a Tsaritsa fanboy in the first place, anyway). But if she didn't become "King"... well, wouldn't that mean all her siblings' sacrifices would be in vain? That would be kinda fucked up innit.

how to keysmash

for beginner queers

the keysmash is an integral part of being queer. we use it to express many emotions, such as anger, frustration, excitement, surprise, laughter, happiness, love, and so many more. a proper keysmash is very important.

when you keysmash, you will want it to be primarily composed of home row letters (home row is circled) and short letters (highlighted in red). an example of a home row keysmash looks like this:

shsjdkfjfhs

it is important to include some letters that dip below the text line (highlighted in blue) and tall letters (highlighted in green). this will add some much needed variation to a keysmash composed of only short letters.

a keysmash composed of only short letters looks like this:

asuencoazx

whereas a keysmash composed of all kinds of letters looks like this:

slcoegjcbfrb

note the difference.

-

to recap: a perfect keysmash consists of mostly home row letters, and includes plenty of tall letters and letters that extend under the text row.

an example of a good keysmash looks like this:

fdkfbekeheidhxjdbdkxhdkfhdjv

-

when keysmashing in all caps, the letter shape rules apply less because they’re all the same size, but you should still keep in mind the home row rule. an example of an all caps keysmash looks like this:

enjoy your keysmashing and your queerness!

Rating Life Series players keysmashes (with no regard for whether they actually know it's a keysmash)

[ID: a screenshot of in-game chat from the Limited Life server. Grian has keysmashed "wegouiheogu", Scott has replied "same". End ID]

Grian: Unconventional. A lot of vowels. Reads a bit awkward but he's enthusiastic and he's got the spirit. Bonus points for him actually trying to pronounce it out loud. 7.6/10

Scott: not a keysmash but he's gay. Automatic 11/10

[ID: A second screenshot of chat. Etho has keysmashed "asldnfgakjngripnq". Skizzleman has keysmashed "sadf". End ID]

Etho: Superb. Wide variety of letters, good mix of vowels and consonants, good length, variety of letters from different rows of the keyboard. You can tell he really committed. Minor points off for containing the word grip since it catches the eye and makes it harder to interpret as unassigned sounds only but still a 9.5/10. Makes my Canadian heart proud

Skizz: sadf. 0/10
