i took this from this cohost post but here's how to change the font back on discord and here's where you can download the old font. once you download whitney (or any other font you want, go ham with it, we immediately began playing with 5000 fonts), put whitney in the place of noto sans or in front of it like this.

everything under the readmore is just a copy and past of the previously linked post. i highly recommend just going to the cohost link because tumblr messed up the formatting and won't let me put in all the images. best of luck, soldiers.

discord's new font sucks. it is EXTRAORDINARILY eyestrain-inducing. here is how to go back to the old one! quick note: don't copy/include any backticks (`) in the instructions; they're just the tech equivalent of quotes since quotes often do specific things in code.

go to %AppData%/Discord/ in your file browser on windows, or ~/Library/Application Support/discord/ on mac. open settings.json in any text-editing program (even notepad will do.)

in settings.json, add a comma after the last line but before the final } symbol. then add a new line, two spaces, and the following text: "DANGEROUS_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS_ONLY_ENABLE_IF_YOU_KNOW_WHAT_YOURE_DOING": true

(like so. my text editor is a full code editor so don't worry about colors and stuff; as long as the text matches, you're fine.)

3. save the file. then, fully restart discord. clicking the x button probably won't be enough; you may have to kill it in your task manager.

4. once you have restarted discord, press CTRL + SHIFT + I on windows, or CMD + OPTION + I on mac. this should open a panel to the right.

about halfway down the panel, you'll see a little tab called "styles" followed by a search filter box. in that box, type :root. scroll down the list until you see a section with the words font-primary in it.delete "gg sans", from the list of fonts, including the comma and quotes.

#discord #discord font #please rb #i muted notifs on this so go ham and share it #also: for some reason usernames won't be bold anymore #it's a small pay off tho

ask game: 9, 15, 23 and 24? (GOD your art is cool. I'm always blown away by it ^^ )

THANK Y OU i am handing you a bottle of my tears (affectionate)

9. Any new art mediums youve tried (or overall styles if you havent tried new mediums)

oh uhhhhhhhhhhhh h hhh hhhhh;hhhhhhhhhhhh i sculpt sometimes

mostly tiny things. a while ago i went mad with power trying to create a subatomic scalemate. i dont really post about it much because i prefer to keep it a low stress activity for when im not feeling the drawing juices? also i super dont know how to take good photos but it is, like, an area of constant backscenes experimentation

in terms of style, i feel like definitely have zoned in on some "retro" aesthetics this year? mostly the funkiest parts of mid-century-mod, and some 90s radical cheese

15. any upcoming planned drawings

oh god perpetually

mostly its tryling to emulate other art styles through OCs? i want to do a pulpy horror novel cover based around lorna. i want to make a hanna barbera xeno. i want to do an archie comic cover about a stupid love triangle between stupid idiots that keep being stupid. roxanne exists. when its not me trying to emulate an art style, its "i want to introduce this OC concept" and "i havent done [insert OC]'s design justice, time to redraw"

also comics. holy shit comics.

ive got dialog thats been circling me on loop for weeks on end. theres scenes that have me in a vice grip. i have a? a script? thats been slowly building??? i dont really believe in the power of new years resolutions but if im manifesting girbossing empathing anything, its that more comics make it up here

23. Favorite pose you've drawn

i dont. know how to draw a skeleton over this

24. what do you like most about your art style

neons go brrr

ok fine ill elaborate. i think ive got a good sense of shape language and color, and have managed to put together some character designs that manage to be pretty versatile yet distinct?

but also, yes, neons go brrr. i have long enjoyed art that is, what some might call, Bad and Wrong. i think digital art gives me a lot of freedom to be Bad and Wrong in the color department, because- like little timmy on the playground with a laser pointer- the more able i am to wield the forces of light and directly beam eye searing colors directly into peoples eyeballs, the more my acidic soul is satisfied* *to the degree that i also understand people may have medical need to not engage with flashing lights and harsh eyestrain

i could probably talk more about violent and alienating art? i think it ties back into my appreciation of surreal gore and the grotesque, the need to make something that... almost hurts to look at. despite my roots in gore and body horror, my current art style has definitely slid over into something pretty cute and cartooney? which isnt really a bad thing! but it is something i think about sometimes

#[bugg chitters]#that last one got away from me and ive reread it like thrice to see if it makes sense but #idk if it does so im juste gonna press post
