Why can't FFN.Net have a site wide Dark Mode instead of just on the fanfics?? Why can't AO3 have a Dark Mode without the need of an account to even enable a Dark Mode skin?? Dark Mode should be accessible by default and for free to everyone without the need of an account and/or third-party extension for everyone. That is especially true for those with eye problems, light sensitivity, and what have you.

Haven't seen any post on here about it yet, so: there is another one day strike tomorrow (Thursday the 7th), as well as a call to boycott the oscar's on the 10th. Much like the super bowl and christmas, israel is planning to attack Gaza when they expect americans to be distracted, on top of having a history of targeting Palestine during Ramadan.
Here is a link to the instagram post, don't forget to call your reps, mask up and attend a protest if you can, and keep speaking up and staying updated on what's happening

Rejection Sensitivity
Rejection Sensitivity might kick in when...
Someone leaves you on read
You get blocked randomly
You aren't invited to join in
People talk secretly without you
You see people having a good time without you
You don't understand an inside joke
Everyone disagrees with you
This could lead to thoughts of...
Something is wrong with me?
Why does no one like me?
Have I done something wrong?
I'm fed up, I can't do this anymore
I hate my life
People are better off without me
I hate everyone
As well as feelings of...
Anxiety
Hatred
Frustration
Fear
Depression
Loneliness
Overwhelm
Anger/Rage
The effect of this might be...
Acting impulsively
Meltdown/Shutdown
Losing friends/family / romantic partners
Being excluded from a group
Self-harm/suicidal thoughts
Being perceived negatively
Trust issues
Things that might help...
Removing/distancing yourself from the situation
Distracting yourself with interests/comforts/stims
Talk/vent to someone
Try to remember that your feelings are valid
Autisticality

Very much love your take on the new looks for Orym and Ashton! I saw a bit of your post about how Liam and Tal give feedback... would you be willing to share any information about how the back-and-forth process works between you and the actors as you work on their stuff? (I just love hearing HOW the awesome happens, not just the end results.)
Yeah okay. Lemme think, here. Alright let's so this as a numbered list-
1- Actor sends description of character. This is pretty broadly interpreted, in my experience. It's something between a brief paragraph, an annotated pdf, and multiple pinterest boards.
2- I send back a Pitch. This has taken multiple forms in the past, but it's generally settled into a few pages, that kinda go-
a- Poses and Vibe Sketches- This includes little portraits, attitude poses, a couple sketches showing extreme dynamism or movement. I try to suggest outfits and weapons or accessories, here, but I don't spend a lot of time fleshing it out.
b- Outfit Poses- usually on a turnaround or one fairly lowkey pose. I try to include 3 or 4 serious attempts at outfits and maybe a couple of backs, if it's important.
c- Color- I usually just pick an outfit at random and try to give it a few different palettes. If the actor is absolutely sure what the palette is, or if it's a character I've worked with before, I might just make one palette and briefly color each of the outfit sketches from b in that palette
d- Accessories, Weapons, Other Important Stuff- if the character is carrying around like a book or a bird or a really specific weapon, I try to address that in its own space, though sketches for all of those things may exist on other pages. This has been known to be very pretty or a bit boring.
3- There is some form of back and forth between me and the actors (and a producer, who are all lovely and don't step in on creative things but are always working against a schedule and need to know how things are going. I just want to be clear that every producer at CR is a secret angel who eats deadlines and shits magic and every one of them totally Gets It. They are all One Of Us). The back and forth is always individual and based on the actor but it can be-
a- Actor picks from menu, usually via complex "circling" system (also all sketches are numbered, so they can just ref numbers).
b- Actor sort of picks from menu, while moderating and adding further references.
c- Actor just sends a bunch more shit and I narrow stuff down based upon what they seem to be getting at.
4- There's this bit of finding what the pose is gonna be, marking in all the necessary accessories, getting that last email about adding a scar, can we add a necklace? etc. What you are left with is something that the Producers call "pre-final." If it hasn't already been with the modelers and painters this whole time, this is when the modelers and painters get the design and start their magic.
5- I go away into a cave for a time period of quiet reflection with my Gods. I refer to this period as "rendering." I cannot be reached by the reason of man and spend a lot of time bitching to my friends while I try to figure out why shading a cape is suddenly the most difficult thing I've ever dealt with in my life.
6- Done!
