Neocities Websites for Decor (& Other Resources)

i suggest not linking back (aka hotlinking) to the resources on the website. instead upload it yourself onto either neocities or an image hosting site and include credit. this way, if the person hosting the image deletes their page or loses the image somehow, your website will still be fine. (i didn't do this and had to find everything all over again... )

i have found that the best websites to use as companions to neocities are w3schools, pinterest, tumblr, and any image hosting site. w3schools for coding tutorials. pinterest for inspiration or for graphics. tumblr for any type of decor and advice. to edit my code and have a live preview, i use codepen.io.

since you read through all this, maybe take a look at my neocities site and follow me! <3

A Digital Fangirl's Journey into the Analog World

It started with a search, three words typed into the eBay search bar. Due South zine.

I began my fandom journey online when high-speed internet was slowly rolling out in the United States. I've never known a time in fandom when a million search results weren't at the tips of my fingers, and yet I've been nostalgic for a more physical relationship with fandom. Thankfully, the @ds30below fest announcement had a week devoted to history. The perfect excuse to dive into zines for the first time.

Due Frisky #2 is a digest-sized, soft-cover zine held together with staples. This baby fits perfectly in your hand for reading anywhere. The photo doesn't do it justice, but the cover is a pretty pinky-red color.

Inside, there is a table of contents, an editor's note, the stories, and, at the back, a short advertisement for more zines from the same press. Included at the end of each full-length story is a black-and-white photograph from the show that is connected to the story's content. This is an F/V zine from January of 1997, although nowhere do they address or even mention Ray K. Perhaps issue one dealt with that?

As for the content itself, there are four stories and one poetry cycle. I'd especially like to highlight the first story, "Perfection" by Khylara, which deals with Ray V's Catholicism in such a beautiful way that I was practically jumping with joy as I read. Unfortunately, my searches have not turned up this fic anywhere online to share! It's such a shame, too; it's so thoughtful.

Speaking of which, although I can find some of the authors online, I haven't found any of the particular fics from the zine available. Mireille, who people may know from their other F/V works, has the first part of a multiple-part series in this zine. Now, the editors warn you of this in the editor's notes, but I had forgotten by the time I got to this story, and frankly, I am climbing the walls wondering what happens next!

I found reading this zine extremely satisfying. It was wonderful to have some fanfic to curl up with during a spring storm while being beholden to a supercomputer in my hand.

I also loved reading stories that were contemporary to the show's actual airing. I found the language to be just ever slightly more formal than fanfic nowadays, but in a way that was not distracting or detracting.

Another thing, as the title might imply, all of the stories feature sex and sexuality as a topic. Obviously, given my track record, that doesn't bother me. But I could see where that would turn some off from reading. There's drama, fluff, and plenty of other emotions throughout the pieces, but at the end of the day, they will be having sex.

Overall, this was a fantastic zine for a beginner. Every piece was wonderful, and I anticipate reading it again many times.

[illaisland]

may i ask where is your icon pic from??

yup!

It is an edited version I made of this photo:

Not sure about the source of the original image, it is most likely from one of their many promo photo shoots for the show.

The edited version I made is below:

I made it by messing around with it in pixlr (basically free, online photoshop).

:)

[gametastic-photography]

I wanted to work more on my editing skills. especially since I won't have my picsart subscription forever. I'll get into Photoshop fully someday to replace and out-do picsart. But picsart has been a tool I've been using for years. I've seen it grow. It's excellent for beginner editors as well as it has a simple and easy to understand interface with a lot of customization.

The reason I won't renew my picsart sub is because I have hopes to grow and gain experience. Not only that, edit professional quality photos. Picsart blurs or pixilates the quality depending on how you edit it. But nothing can compare to the processing power of a PC compared to a mobile app.

[countlessofvoids]

Something that [whatever the collective word for artists, photographers & editors is] love to do is to tell people - with the intent of being encouraging - that they don't need any fancy and expensive equipment to do said work. However the truth is, for beginners especially, some of us would benefit from those.

Sure, people can and have made amazing artworks just using their phone and whatever free drawing app they find. But when it comes to learning digital art for the first time; you might have much easier, faster and less draining experience with a graphic tablet and Clip Studio Paint or Procreate.

Yes, lacking artistic vision as an photographer can only take you so far, but a photo taken on a professional camera will probably look better than photos from a cheap one.

Hunter with a knife will have worse time hunting deer than the hunter wielding a crossbow.

Personaly it's rather discouraging seeing someone say "You can do this too!" only to learn they had tools that made the process much easier. After I spent a painful period trying. Nothing wrong with not being able to afford them, but don't give me false hope at least.

How to make glowing text in Pixlr the easy way

There is a lot of different ways of doing this and this is by far the least tiresome and frustrating way for a beginner who’s not used to working with layers. First of all start up this website, it’s called pixlr and is a photo editor. Then chose the Pixlr E editor, it’s the more advanced one but it’ll be the easiest one. Start a new project, chose a size you are happy with all that stuff once done? NOW!

Make a text layer

Write whatever you want in a font you want

Select your text layer and go to layer and chose rasterize text/element’

Now it should look like something like this:

Now go into filter and chose contour

Select only contour

Adjust color and thickness it to your liking starting thinner is better.

Now it should look like this:

Now repeat the last three steps one or two more times with a darker tone to add depth. It should look something like this:

Now go into filters again

Select outer glow

Chose the darkest color you used earlier in my case hot red

Adjust to your liking

The settings i use is: 14 xp 100% fluff and opacity 43%

Now it should look something like this

Go to archive, save and chose PNG format and transparent and you should end up with this: NOTE that this is made for a dark background, always test before saving on the color you intend to use since the effect drastically change and may need alterations.

craft essay a day #10

i can't believe my highlighter ran out of ink. anyway, back to the sweet safety of a beginner essay.

“Research in Fiction” by Angela Barrett, The Writer’s Notebook II: Craft Essays from Tin House

beginner | intermediate | advanced | masterclass 

filed under: process, research, meaning making

summary

Barrett begins the essay by recounting a situation she seems to think is widely experienced but has never once happened to me: falling so far down a well of research for a story that you lose sight of the project and/or fill the story with all the research you learned, neglecting the characters.

but i do know there are plenty of writers out there who basically live in research wells so i definitely get what she's saying.

"I hate how dangerous research can be for our work. It's always easier, and often more fun, to dive into books and photos and the shark-filled depths of the online world than to write."

again, i do not find research easier than writing. i would always rather be writing than researching. so, this essay is probably not for me, although i would love to read an essay whose point is "maybe at least read the wikipedia article? you fool?"

the very big point she is making (and a great point it is) is that when you research for fiction, you're not invoking the facts of a time or place or trade, but translating those facts into a lived experience that will shape and affect your characters.

"What is the research for? Think about it like this: research is simply a way of understanding what our characters understand."

she goes on to point out that Tolstoy started writing War and Peace when he was thirty-five. today, many of us assume he was writing about his own time, but actually he was writing from several decades later. Barrett points out that for those of us around his age, it would be like writing about World War II.

she concludes with an amendment to writing what you know:

"A more generous, more useful interpretation of the phrase ['write what you know'] is that we should write about what we know, however we come to know it, whether by vision or sensual experience or reading or conversation or passionate imagining."

why did the editor bother keeping the Johnston essay, when Barrett more or less said what he was trying to say in a single paragraph, and more cogently?

my thoughts

when it comes to research for fiction, the most helpful thing i can suggest is developing the skill to name what you don't yet know, but know could be known.

let's take banking, for example. because i worked at a bank for ten years, i know a lot about finance and therefore i know what kinds of conflicts can develop for characters in that setting, and how it might inform their perspectives or identities or choices. i know things that can't be researched because trade secret agreements keep anyone from writing nonfiction on the inner workings of a financial institution.

because i know banking so well, i can apply the framework of my knowledge to other topics and use that framework to begin my research.

for example:

at the bank, every morning i had to run the daily insufficient funds report. the NSF report exists to decide whether or not the bank will pay or bounce checks for funds that aren't available in someone's account. hence, insufficient funds report. when you write a check and you don't have enough money in your account to pay it, a real human person decides what to do about it.

twenty bucks? not a problem. you pay it, you move on. but i was in business and that meant i was paying sometimes thousands of payroll checks for a company that didn't have the funds to pay them. paying insufficient funds means giving the customer a line of credit that has no promissory note or collateral to secure it, which means there's no guarantee the bank will get back its funds.

and yet, if i don't pay it, thousands of people won't get their paycheck.

that's an external conflict that can only happen in this setting, with internal repercussions and potentially personal consequences for your character. (in reality, i had to obtain a lot of approvals, but that's less of an interesting conflict; fictionalizing means fudging things sometimes for the sake of being interesting.)

this has other implications, too. when you make a debit card transaction, for example, the process of the bank choosing to pay or not pay must happen automatically, without a real human person making that decision. before 2013ish, most banks had a policy that debit card transactions would always be paid, regardless of how much money was in the account.

this was a perfect storm: customers could either overdraw their account and accumulate a massive number of fees ($38 at the time for a single overdraw, even one penny over), or they could open an overdraft line of credit. most people don't have good enough credit to open an overdraft line of credit, which meant people had to overdraft. a few banks had the courtesy of allowing you to dip into your savings for overdrafting. but not many.

and banks could say this was a good thing: you'll never get your card declined! we'll pay any purchase! (evil laughter)

then during the Obama administration, somebody finally decided that was super shitty and developed Reg E which forced banks to allow customers to opt in or out of overdrafting on debit card transactions. so finally you could go into a bank and say, "i want to opt out of overdraft," which means that on one hand, if you don't have the funds in your account, your card will get declined, potentially leaving you in a bad situation with whatever you're trying to purchase; but you'll never have to pay $38 for overdrawing your account by a nickel.

whew. okay. so here, as myself, i have an annoying daily situation which has greater historical and social context. and as a researcher writing about, say, a mechanic, i can begin my research by asking, what's a mechanic's equivalent NSF report? what's the annoying thing they have to do every morning when they clock in? and maybe also, what's something they have to do that has greater personal, social, and maybe political consequences? a mechanic works on your car, and that means your safety as a driver is in their hands. that means there are regulations to consider, the history of the safety of motor vehicles and the ways cars have changed. how do all those much bigger things influence the work of your character? are they the type of mechanic who keeps that in mind, or maybe they used to but they're only going through the motions, allowing for the potential for error and therefore danger? or do they just not give a shit about that kind of thing?

i once gave a writer feedback on their story about a clown. and my question was, but what about the clown's clown friends? the writer didn't know what to say to that. i said, well i know clowns are very much about community. clowns are generally pretty proud of being clowns. so this clown would likely be affected by his status in the community of clowns in his area. he would either be in his community, and that would create a certain conflict; or he'd be an outsider of his community, and that would create a different conflict. but the point is, you the writer acknowledge an understanding of the greater life of clowns.

Barrett assumes an approach: a writer does research and then applies that research to the experience of their characters. i'm suggesting an alternative: a writer begins with the consideration of their characters and tailors their research to that experience.

good research begins with the understanding that the foundation of the human experience is that we are inwardly affected by our outward reality, and by acknowledging that, you can develop a framework in which to fill in the gaps of your knowledge by targeting what you know you don't know.

or, to put it more simply, you can always begin research with one question: what's the most annoying part of your character's day?

What is the Best Cricut Software in 2023?

Cricut is a powerful and versatile machine that can precisely cut and craft different materials. To help out crafters, Cricut also offers a graphics designing tool called Cricut Design Space. It features a user-friendly interface that is very easy to use and is compatible with multiple devices such as mobile, laptop, PC, and tablet.

As a bonus, the app is free, and you can download it directly from Cricut’s official website. However, you can also use the software if you are unsatisfied with the Design Space. If you are wondering which software is compatible with your Cricut, you don’t need to look further. In this blog, we have the best Cricut Software, along with its pros and cons.

OPTION ONE: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP

Adobe Photoshop is the world’s best photo editing and graphic design software without introduction. Hobbyists and professional designers widely use it to create paintings, drawings, and animations. Photoshop is also used to edit and retouch digital images, and it is quite good at vector art. It’s a robust editing toolkit that helps users to create complex designs from plain elements. When graphic designers need to create bitmaps in multiple layers or handle image masking, they turn to Photoshop.

Photoshop automatically saves your projects to the cloud. Besides the standard function, Photo Shop offers live streaming, project tracking, data storage management, and offline access. It also lets you invite other people to edit files so you can collaborate with team members on various projects. Although it’s not the most affordable software, the value that it brings to the table is hard to beat.

REASONS TO GO FOR IT

Powerful web design tool

Cross-platform Integration

Intuitive interface

A wide array of high-quality templates

REASONS TO AVOID IT

Expensive

OPTION TWO: ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR

For professionals and artists, Adobe Illustrator is the best Cricut software. Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics program that allows you to create anything, such as text, shapes, and symbols, for your projects. Like Photoshop, it also lets you create complex and beautiful patterns. Use the preset workspace to customize your workforce. Although beginner-friendly, its extensive tools let you create precise and intricate models compatible with the Cricut machine.

Illustrator allows you to use multiple artboards; this feature is handy when working on projects with multiple items. Various plugins expand Adobe Illustrator’s capabilities. These plugins let you create your own custom fonts. If you need software that works well and lets you create anything, and if you’ve no problem paying for it, then Adobe Illustrator is the most suitable option.

REASONS TO GO FOR IT

Compatible with different OS

An extensive set of tools can be further expanded using plugins

Best for creating new shapes

Countless shortcuts

REASONS TO AVOID

Have to pay a monthly fee.

OPTION THREE: GIMP

Although Photoshop is a great software that lets you create everything, its only drawback is its cost. If you want a free alternative to Photoshop, you can opt for GIMP. Like Photoshop, GIMP is free software that offers various features for editing images and creating original illustrations from the ground up. Its extensive brush-based tools range from the clone/heal brush to the brush/burn tool.

These brush-based tools come in handy when working with large, high-resolution images. Most people use GIMP as a photo editor, but it can also be used for graphic designing. GIMP lets you add and edit text, move and control images. It also lets you configure contrasts and curves. GIMP is one of the best Cricut software for beginners who want to create awesome art.

REASONS TO GO FOR IT

User-friendly and customizable interface

Supports different formats

Lots of drawing tools

Advanced processing of graphic files

Multiple drawing tools

REASONS TO AVOID

Can’t handle CMYK color space

OPTION FOUR: CORELDRAW

Those looking for an alternative to Adobe Illustrator don’t need to look any further. CorelDraw is a full-fledged design program that lets you create everything. The program was originally designed as a rival to Adobe Illustrator. Both are great tools for vector designing and cost the same. But unlike Adobe Illustrator, where you must pay monthly, CorelDraw allows you to join for a monthly cost or pay an up-front fee.

CorelDraw gives you access to hundreds of pre-designed templates, which you can use to create stunning designs. It also lets you create designs from scratch with a few clicks. With a simple right-click, you can create complex designs and vectorization. You can design your graphics, convert them to SVG, and then send it to Design Space. CorelDraw’s extensive library of plugins is specially designed for cutting machines such as Cricut. Opt for its trial version if you still decide to go for CorelDraw.

REASONS TO GO FOR IT

Simple and user-friendly interface

A free trial version is available

Works great for vectorization

Offers a range of membership types

REASONS TO AVOID IT

It doesn’t offer tools to create HDR or panoramas.

OPTION FIVE: INKSCAPE

Inkscape is another great alternative to Adobe Illustrator, but unlike Illustrator and CorelDraw, it’s free. Its interface is straightforward, so you will quickly get the hang of it, even if you are a beginner. Inkscape is an open-source vector graphics editor which uses SVG as its primary file type.

Although Inkscape is prone to lag, it can run on low-end laptops and tablets. With Inkscape, you can customize virtually everything- colors, lines, grid, icon type, and other elements. Designers use it to create logos and banners. You can also convert raster images into vectors and save, import, and export your projects in various formats.

REASONS TO GO FOR IT

Beginner-friendly interface

It’s free

Flexible drawing tools

It lets you generate and edit SVG files

Exports in PNG and PDF

REASONS TO AVOID

Poor text editing instruments

[writingforfun0714]

So I talked about TotJ and shared what I liked/thought could be improved/what I hope to see here

Warnings: Spoilers for Tales of the Jedi, headcanons, beginner video editor

App used: VLLO video editing app and Adobe Lightroom (I used Lightroom once to fix a photo 6yrs ago in a college course of mine)

COPYWRIGHT!—ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO DISNEY/LUCAS/THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS.

One of the things I mentioned was Dooku’s lightsaber color change during ep4 The Sith Lord. I said that I would’ve loved to have seen the blue fade to purple then to red as he struck down Master Yaddle. I’m sure that goes against how Dooku actually got his lightsaber red, I just thought it would be cool if his saber changed during that fight. So I made a video about it. If that were to happen/I was in charge, I would have the saber change from blue to purple when Dooku collapses the door on Yaddle and then from purple to red when he strikes the already defeated Master down. I only included the important parts (not the whole fight).

*I DON’T KNOW HOW TO EDIT VIDEOS!* What does that mean?

—The audio is 95% fine (it works it’s just the edit/timing is a bit weird)

—I don’t know how to color change specific objects in videos so the whole picture gets color changed

—I don’t know how to make the colors fade into each other so the color changes are kind of abrupt (I used a transition for the blue/purple change and cut 2 vids together for the purple/red change).
