surprise! here's some Ex-Aid!
deliberately not saving this for either holiday, because...that feels like it would be weird? let's pour one out for Poppy and Dan and their bizarro mobius strip of a family dynamic. 🫗
#art#kamen rider#ex aid#ex aid spoilers#it's been a while but it IS a twist and hey you never know#no real reason for this i was just reminded of this idea i had back in 2018 but didn't have the confidence to try pulling off#and was like why not i'll take a crack at it#been a hot second since i last drew poppy anyway. this must be rectified.#i probably hecked up dangerous zombie sorry he has so many FIDDLY BITS#even from the back there's just so many PIECES#(still one of my all-time favorite rider designs though)

Behold! The most uselessly complicated piece of fanart (I have) ever made!
(Minor spoilers for @derinthescarletpescatarian's web serial Curse Words)
Medium: macrame and embroidery
Fiber: acrylic
What is it, you ask? Why, it's a picture of the lake monster's tentacle, magnified 80,000x!
The what? you ask. Well let me just let Max explain it:
The four materials detected by the enchanted microscope showed up in the photos as four distinct colours. Mostly blue and red, with a generous dash of green throughout and rare fine threads of yellow. With the four materials easily distinguished, the structure of the tentacles was obvious. A whole lot of long strands, twisted together.
“It’s rope,” Kylie gasped. “Or thread or cotton, I guess, given how small it is.”
“It’s much finer than thread or cotton,” Max said. “These filaments are subcellular in diameter.
But that's not all! The description goes on!
These parts are just twisted like rope,
but here.” He flicked to a new photo. “Look at how complicated the weaving is in this part.
And Max is thorough, so we're obviously not gonna leave it at that
Here, I made a kind of 3D model of a little section of the rope. It was a pain in the arse....But look. Here’s a 3D model of half a millimeter of the yellow and green, with the rest of the rope missing. Notice anything familiar?”
“They’re the runes at Duniyasar,” Kylie said. “And on that skeleton.”
They were. A complicated web of runes joined by lines, like a really elegant version of what Max had been modelling with wood.
According to the timestamps, this chapter was posted on 7/30, so I have spent the last 12 weeks with some part of my brain trying to figure out how to make a rope that was twisted like rope but also woven complexly, with the right mix of colors, as well as what the runes should look like and how to apply them. Actual construction time was, happily, much smaller. It did make me grateful that I don't have to operate at the .25 micrometer scale.
#fanart#curse words: spellcasting for fun and prophet#max acthanos#kylie last name no#kayden James#the kraken I totally warned Kayden about on day one#fiber arts#macrame#embroidery#is it the most complicated fanart ever? No#is it the fanart with the most complicated fiddly bits that you can't even see in the final product? Possibly#fandom

people just consistently have no concept of what goes into the art they see! like I follow a lot of artists whose jewelry is more in line with your description of what goes into your blankets than your earrings in terms of materials and time (I'm talking like painstakingly hand-beaded earrings with antique beads and precious metal findings, backed with hide that they smoked themselves) and they also get people commenting on their prices being too high :(((
yuuup
i mean time-wise it still wouldn't be that much longer. i also hand-bead details on some earrings and stuff it's still not like... a massively time consuming process or anything. blankets take 100+ hours. this choker took me 30 minutes. the necklace only a little longer, despite all the bead connecting going on there
but the materials cost of using. well. high quality materials is what gets you
there's a reason i use metal alloys and glass beads instead of sterling silver and real stone beads, and that reason is "i do not want to pay for sterling silver and real stones that shit is expensive"
(smoking hides also probably takes longer? although i feel like most of that process would be "waiting")
which is again a double sided issue of "undercharging for precious metals/stones/beads" and "overcharging for metal alloy and plastic" that made a clusterfuck baby somewhere in the middle
#gotta thread all those beads onto little bits of metal and then bend the metal into loops at either end#which is fiddly and tedious and slightly makes you want to walk into traffic#but still a whole universe removed from the time fibre arts take#nice prettily coloured glass beads can easily be 5x cheaper than like. actual minerals#babs at the stall next to me buys Actual Minerals because she has customers who believe in the inherent properties of crystals#and she's far too nice to buy pretty beads that look like obsidian or amethyst or whatever but aren't#i on the other hand am here purely for the aesthetic value. black is black#you're not catching me paying 30p-per-bead no SIR

shout-out to the game Frostpunk for literally crashing at the final challenge/cut-scene after holding me in its grip for almost 16 hours straight
I am going to bed now
#frostpunk#a little bit of fiddly generator management and narrative anticipation#not actually expecting a challenge and then wham: game crash#can't really argue with that

hello :))) for the meme - the wind that cuts the night (<3) - 17
17. What was the hardest scene to write?
*thinks* That's such a long time ago now (7 years) that I don't actually fully remember that well.
That being said the scene that required the most research, hand down, was Elliott's garden. All those plants I used are coastal tolerant plants that can handle ocean winds directly coming off the sea.
I knew that like... 'coastal tolerant' doesn't necessarily mean 'literally living on or near sand dunes', and that ruled out most plants. I probably spent, all up, about 8 solid hours over 4 consecutive days researching plants, images of houses that used those plants (so I could see how close to the sea they were), what the plants looked like flowering, and of course I had to look through over about 300 different species of plant to narrow down my list.
To this day, for something that amounted to like, a fairly short description of the plants re: Alex describing them to Elliott, that's like...the most research I ever did for that fic. Once I had the research done, writing the scene was from memory pretty easy. But the research was intense!

From this meme!
#asks and answers#the wind that cuts the night#stardew valley fic#sdv fic#sdv elliott#sdv alex#okay so true story i did a full answer for this for A Stain that Won't Dissolve#because i get those two names confused all the time fsdalkfjdsa#but anyway yeah#i have a feeling that i also struggled a bit with alex just getting the garden built in the storm / finding the rocks etc. and then getting#into elliott's house#that whole sequence i wanted to do quickly but it was very fiddly to write#administrator gwyn wants this in the queue

Xkit Rewritten settings across devices?
just a v quick little guide (with pictures!) for people who don't know how to transfer their XKit rewritten settings across their devices easily
(putting it under a cut because I've added alot of images and it takes up alot of room)
this is a pretty beginner guide, all you need to know/be able to do is to sign in across devices with the same account to access bookmarks or Google Docs on both devices, or just manually copy the Pastebin link
alternatively, you can use this basic recommended setup I made for a friend, to save you a little time, and tweak the settings to suit your needs
I'm running Google Chrome, but there's a Firefox version of XKit Rewritten too, and this should work the same
I've tested this so far on a Windows laptop, Chromebook and a Steam Deck, and all are working perfectly
here's a tutorial on getting Google Chrome on the Steam Deck (and getting it to open in Game Mode if you prefer that)
here's a tutorial on a workaround to use XKit Rewritten on mobile Firefox browser mode
I'm currently writing up my own tutorial on getting XKR to work on mobile, along with Chromium based browsers
(XKit Rewritten = XKR for simplicity)
my XKR backup is too long to paste into in a new Text Post and Save as Draft, which is usually my go to for saving/hosting things for Tumblr, and trying to check if I can add it to a new page on my blog crashes the tab/Chome entirely on both my Chromebook and my Steam Deck, so neither of these options are viable
On the Exporting Device
go to your addons bar, select the XKit Rewritten "X" icon, backup, then "copy all"
Pastebin method:
open pastebin, "+ paste", paste the code/text log into the box, and "Create New Paste". you don't need to add any tags or be signed in for this. you can leave everything blank
bookmark this text file and save it as something obvious like "xkit backup", for example. save it to a bookmark folder or just your bookmarks bar. not important as long as you can find it again
on the device you want to import the settings to, open the bookmarked page, then select all the text by selecting the "raw" option, click in the text somewhere and hit CTRL+A, CTRL+C. this will highlight all the text and copy it
Google Docs method:
open Google Docs and log in with your Google Account. hit the big "+", "Create a New Document", and paste your code/text log in here. Save as something you'll remember like "xkit backup" for example
(you can bookmark this Doc for ease of finding, but it will be the last file in your list until you add more Docs)
on the device you want to import the settings to, open the Google Doc, Select all text either by selecting "Edit", then "Select All", Right click, then "Copy", or just hitting CTRL+A, CTRL+C
On the Importing Device:
open the XKR addon tab again, "Backup", this time "Import", then paste the text into the box. When you hit "Restore" it'll say "Successfully restored"
refresh your Dashboard and you should have all your settings restored!
Remember if you're transferring to a different blog, such as between RP Blogs, you will have all the tags and filters from your other blog, so you may need to go in and fiddle with those, but overall it's easier to import your existing settings than to start over from scratch!
#vatta tuts#xkit rewritten#rp ref#tumblr tips#steam deck#ok to rb#idk what else to tag this as lol#I got a REALLY bad leg cramp in the middle of doing this and had to take a break for a bit....#I'm using the Steam Deck to post this I'm not great with the editing software for the screenshot crops he's fiddly#a friend asked me for ways to get the settings over from their PC to their Laptop so! I obv decided to make a full on guide lmao#readmore.

The little corner desk my bf made me for building Gunpla, and the Xabungle kit I built at it last night
