I made a channel on YouTube so I can share my Minecraft builds. I wanted to document my progress and well… maybe others might find it interesting.

The first video is here if anyone is interested :)

✰intro post✰

hi! i’m jay, and i’ve never used tumblr before so bare with me as i know the formatting of this will probably be very bad!

[basic info] > anyway, hello! i’m jay. i’m an artist, a writer, a reader, and a connoisseur of dead fandoms. i’m neurodivergent and have anxiety, so please be kind and patient when interacting with me. i am genderfluid and i do not care for pronouns, please call me whatever, i do not mind. i am biracial, black and white, and am very proud of who i am and i am comfortable in my identity :). i am also in a happy relationship of a little more than a year with my beautiful, sweet girlfriend.

[interests] > i am interested in a shit ton of things, and i probably won’t remember all of them, but im going to damn well try!

my interest include:

✰media: voltron legendary defender, minecraft, stardew valley, spiderverse, minecraft diaries, genshin impact, the last of us, hazbin hotel, helluva boss, the owl house, lego monkie kid, sally face, the folk of the air series, and the hunger games

✰activties: drawing, writing, reading, playing video games, hanging with my girlfriend, sleeping, oc creation, watching my silly little shows

✰music: taylor swift, panic at the disco (do not support urie...), arctic monkies, nirvana, chase atlantic, hoizer, rihanna, beyoncé, melanie martinez, the neighborhood, hamilton, heathers, epic: the musical, ride the cyclone, and many more my taste is all over the place

[dni and boundaries ]

[list] > basic dni (racist, anti-lgbtq+, terfs, pedophiles, etc.), proshippers, anti palestine/pro israel, any extreme gore/horror, people who hate on ships for no reason, people who hardcore believe in “cringe culture”, rude people

[boundaries] > absolutely under no circumstances should anyone flirt or make any sexual/romantic advances towards me; it makes me very uncomfortable, messages are okay just don’t be rude, use tone tags if able to (especially when it comes to sarcasm), do not ask for personal information, do not trauma dump unless i say it’s okay, but still don’t go too deep into it, and simply stop if you’re doing something that makes me uncomfortable and i tell you that

anyway, that’s it for my intro post! i don’t know how often i’ll be using this app but i might share my writing/drabbles, or whatever shit come to mind.

✰thank you for reading✰

Phinix how do you make your backgrounds in your drawings ?

Imma be honest with ya, most of the time I’m just throwing stuff against the wall until it looks good.

But practice and studying.

I spend a lot of practicing and studying. The best advice I can give is just practice and understand the basics. And use the tools you have, like overlay layers and perspective tools. There is no shame in using the tools that have been provided to you.

O! Something I learned recently is taking your picture and turning it greyscale, that way you can see if the subject of your picture stands out against the background or blends in too much. Very helpful as it turns out

Free-falling (my first attempt at poetry - please be kind)

Love has never scared me, i always let myself free fall, never longing for a parachute, giving all of myself to anyone my heart deemed worthy

and you are the most worthy of them all.

yet somehow, though i didn’t hesitate when throwing my body off of the edge, i felt myself gripping at a cord that wasn’t there, needing to fall slower

Love has never scared me, but the first time i laid eyes on you i was terrified.

i don’t really have the hang of all of this yet, this is my first real attempt so i have no idea how good or bad this is. but i wrote this poem about my baby sister, and the fact that even though i’ve felt love for other human beings, nothing can ever compare to the warm, fuzzy, yet terrifying feeling i felt the first time i held her. she’s 6 months old and the happiest baby in the whole world - even though she’s tiny (i could definitely take her in a fight lmao) she’s terrifying but i love her so much!

Leo getting hit with a truth curse but instead of forcing him to admit to super sad or worrying things it’s things like “it was me who broke the remote” “I saw Mikey prank Donnie and helped hide it because it’s way funnier if he didn’t know who it was” “I rip my clothes to look more like Raph’s because he’s really cool” “my stripes aren’t even red they’re pink!”

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #plot twist he COULD be admitting angsty stuff but he’s pushing the less oof truths forward instead on purpose #raph: hey leo what do you want for dinner #leo: *about to bare his soul on all his internal torment but pivots* I’m afraid of snakes #(no but fr Leo’s stripes being technically more pink instead of red is cute ngl) #(a very reddish pink to the point that in certain lighting it looks red but at the base they’re p pink) #(i also am very fond of the idea that Leo doesn’t just have questionable taste in fashion he also just loves Raph a lot and looks up to him) #but yeah I think that something like this would be 99% Leo admitting to unimportant things or admitting to how much he values everyone #like they all KNOW Leo loves them and he’s talked them up enough for them to know but it’s different when he’s like #‘I just wanna read my comics with you guys around - it’s my favorite place to be’ #or again just random bs that doesn’t REALLY have a lot of weight like #‘I like using my portals to prank random people around the world’ #‘I’m worried about being a bad influence on hueso jr’ #‘sometimes I kinda wanna see hypno’s plans succeed’ #‘it’s been way too long since I found this out and honestly it’s embarrassing but I actually don’t have a di-‘ #SORRY COULDNT HELP MYSELF #(<-but did u know that that pink rather than red observation actually ties into this headcanon as well if u know about red eared sliders)

Writing Accessibility PSA

Please avoid using long strings of characters as line breaks in your writing - these are not screen reader/TTS friendly!

Every ‘°’ will be read as ‘degree’ - can you imagine how long it takes to read out a string of 25? Let alone more complicated combinations of characters (eg. imagine listening to TTS read out ~*~ |°| ~*~ multiple times per line break)?

A good rule of thumb is to stick with short, 2-3 character line breaks (eg. I don’t find — or *** too egregious to listen to). Your readers can tell there’s been a scene change whether you use two or twenty em-dashes, but if you use twenty, some of us might have to listen for 30 seconds to read the next scene. If you’re more concerned about aesthetics, you can insert an image of your aesthetically pleasing line break with alt text simply reading ‘line break’ for accessibility.

Don’t feel bad if this is something you’ve never thought about before - now you know better and can make your writing more accessible moving forward!

I would like to invite any other screenreader users to add their own thoughts or preferences to this post. We’re not a monolith and there’s a variety to how different softwares interact with repeating character strings and images with alt text, so there’s bound to be some conflicting opinions on what I’ve suggested above. Let’s try to make the stories we share accessible for everyone :]

#writing #accessibility #line breaks #linebreaks #screen readers #tts #text to speech #whump community #<- applicable to any digital writing but tagging for my own reference. as this is my whump blog. #maybe I’m old but back in my day there was a little kerfuffle about how many people kept using complicated character string linebreaks #on ao3 which has a native line break you can insert via html #I don’t know if you can still do that on tumblr desktop with all the changes recently so I’ve been sticking to my trusty — #this is all in good faith no harm no foul and I’m not a cop so do what you want with your linebreaks. #I’m just putting this out there because it wasn’t something I really thought about before using a screenreader myself

#yanqing #honkai star rail #hsr yanqing #my immediate fixation on ice wielding child genius characters in every media I consume strikes again #idk I just think he’s neat!! and so is his gender #he’s definitely overdesigned but I do enjoy the general shape of his clothes #like wow… baggy outer layer AND baggy inner layer #how come you get to have two baggy layers #still don’t know that much about him even after reading his character stories on the wiki #so I’m hoping that his quest writes him well #I suppose there’s some degree of like interesting contrast in the fact that he’s very young on a ship full of people who live very long live #but I feel like regardless they really don’t give him much of a personality besides his hyperfixation on swords and the general naivety and #inexperience from youth yknow what I mean #I just think it would be cool to see like why he’s so ambitious! was he railroaded into being a knight because of his talents? did he try #to be accepted as a knight? what kinds of expectations is he facing and what expectations does he place on himself as a result #I really hope he isn’t just there to be a simpler minded child character for jingyuan to take care of

Happy new years… let’s stay hydrated together ✨

#I didn’t end up going to the rave just stayed in with my buddies and had KFC (( Korean fried chicken )) and laughed til we cried so #it was still a wonderful start to the new year 💞🥰💞 #but the fwb wanted pics of my potential rave look so I figured eh I brought the stuff anyways #and now I’m imagining locking eyes with a stranger on the warm and writhing dance floor #the beat thumps and shakes and rattles the air in our breath as the spotlights dance in the reflections of our held gaze #he pushes his way through the crowd with a singular stare and a wicked smile on his face #I smile and turn my back on him arching myself so he knows I am giving what he’s looking for #I take careful steps through the revelry toward the edge where the crowd thins out #I prop myself up on an available stool in a lonely corner of the club as he closes the distance between us #“now I wonder why you dragged me all the way here” he utters in a playful growl “trying to get far away from the crowd?” #I smile and I nod. “obviously. can’t really do what I want with you out there” #his eyes perk up and his smile gives away the desire building inside him. “yeah? why don’t you show me then.” #“I thought you’d never ask” I smirk. I reach down into my pants and pull out my phone #“so this one is blue. he’s the oldest but he’s sooooo sweet. and that’s Eva. my only girl she’s sassy but she loves swea-” he leaves #whaddahell I say demurely whimpering even… whaddahell… #gpoy

i’m literally so bad at telling stories bc midway through i’m always like “no one really gives a fuck about this” and i want to shut the fuck up. how do people do it

#this ALWAYS happens like i’ll be telling someone something and in the back of my mind i’m like do you even really care #logistically i think people do care but my assumption is always in bad faith idk why #i do really care but anyone who knows me knows i get very engaged in knowing what people are up to #which i don’t think is the default for most people #is this normal. is this anything #p

Practising Goncharov Theme by @caramiaaddio on violin bc I thought it would add an extra layer of haunting…ness (is that a word?)

Here’s the excerpt I’m playing in the video:

Despite it being in a fuck off key for violin it is a really beautiful piece and it’s absolutely worth the trouble of practising in second position (world’s most hated position) and I’m HOPING 🤞 I can record and (maybe) post a full cover of it someday

#goncharov #music #violin #goncharov theme #oh man i have not posted my face in a very very very long time #possibly years #am i freaking out about it? a little #could i have converted this to audio instead? #well. yes but. it’s not exactly awesome quality in this practise room lmao #i so so badly wanna write out all the technical things I’m doing/focusing on here bc GRRR TECHNICAL WORK IS SO INTERESTING TO ME #but i would be typing out a whole essay probably and i don’t think my followers really. care that much about violin tech #lest they also play violin #i have one (1) known mutual who plays violin and that’s IT #apologies for the metronome ticking in the video #it can be very irritating to listen to #alas… it is also important for not speeding up when playing #anyways #hi caramiaaddio you don’t know me but big fan of what you’ve written here #ESPECIALLY THE CHROMATIC BITS OUGHHHH #the little semiquavers that poke their heads through like TWICE are surprisingly hard #but also they sound extra creepy in a good way #BIG fan #wait wait WAIT WAIT #i think this is my first time posting any of my violin playing here like. EVER. #I’ve been here for OVER A DECADE #AND I’M POSTING MY VIOLIN FOR THE FIRST TIME. FOR FUCKING. GONCHAROV. #i don’t have the right emoji for how I’m feeling rn #personal #mine #my face
