One small but extremely annoying effect of Tech Modernization or w/e is how UI contrast is garbage anymore, especially just, like, application windows in general.

"Ooh our scrollbar expands when you mouse over it! Or does it? Only you can know by sitting there like an idiot for 3 seconds waiting for it to expand, only to move your cursor away just as it does so!" or Discord's even more excellent "scrollbar is 2 shades off of the background color and is one (1) pixel wide" fuck OFF

I tried to move a system window around yesterday and had to click 3 times before I got the half of the upper bar that let me drag it. Why are there two separate bars with absolutely nothing to visually differentiate them on that.

"Well if you look closely-" I should not!! have to squint!!! at the screen for a minute straight to detect basic UI elements!! Not mention how ableist this shit is, and for what? ~✨Aesthetic✨~?

and then every website and app imitates this but in different ways so everything is consistently dogshit to try to use but not always in ways you can immediately grok it's!!!! terrible!!!! just put lines on things again I'm begging you!!!!

#dudes trust me as a former design student I complained so much about that topic #like later on I moved into webdesign and then full stack development #and boy howdy do people just not care #about pc designs anymore #most users use phones where those details arent needed anymore #or at least are needed differently (god I hate some phone UI designs) #(like jus thand an old person a phone they wont know what to do) #(in the old design the top bar or the bottom right corner with the ridges...) #(... look like lil ridges you place on tools to hold onto. its self explanatory) #(however nowadays design stuff doesnt even add those features anymore either!) #(details which emerged from fun and having time to think just got removed or forgotten with changing employees) #(and theyre so damn important) #okay wait I need to rage a little more because back in the day the rule of #'form follows function' was a stable so many designers followed #if something looks like you can grab and take hold of it you add ridges or indentations #and we all got sold on the idea that sleek and simple is the way to go #nah its a way the companies save a shitton of money #buttons in cars used to have easily distinguishable knobs and ridges so that you wouldnt need to look away from the street #now you got frigging touch screens in cars which is so fucking dangerous just because one screen is cheaper than molding and designing and #building gears for all the knobs and stuff #I hate simplism with a burning passion when it serves no other purpose than to be liveless and cheap #it works well as a contrast but only using it as a single design texture? nah its bad

What you need to understand about me- and what most of you all do understand about me, is that I will be aggressively enabling of living your weirdest, fullest truth, and I think it's bullshit that people act like it's detrimental to you to do so

I don't give a shit if me being a weird furry online loses me any job prospects or if people talk or whatever- maybe it's fucked up that we hold something as minor and meaningless as that over someone's head, that we give it weight it doesn't deserve, you ever thought of that? Maybe I see the culture of belittling a person as "cringe" for having interests counter to the norms as a failure of society, and I'm gonna throw myself onto the damn pyre and fight to my last breath against it, ever considered that?

I'm not just being cute and funny when I say "live your truth no matter how weird it is," because you know what?

If you're not hurting anyone in a real and tangible way, if you're respecting the rights and comfort of others, nobody- NOBODY has the moral grounds to stand against you, and to hell with them if they try.

That's my spiel.

I know ppl go wild for king/knight and king/jester relationship dynamics on this website but I do want to pitch: knight/jester. Loyal warrior who's not been known to suffer fools and the fool who wants nothing more than to be suffered by them, working under the same leige. Think about it and get back to me

Oddly specific kinds of fanart I am ALWAYS a slut for

1. Stained glass window/church murals of characters

2. In-universe magazine covers

3. Redraws of scenes from canon in the style of a real Netflix show or video game

4. Drawing characters with way cooler outfits than they have in canon for the sake of cool outfits

5. Character design breaking down each layer and piece of a character's outfit

6. Mimicking historical art styles (e.g. vintage posters, Victorian portraits)

7. Sprawling landscape paintings of the setting that you can barely even tell is fanart because its just a beautiful landscape
