something that I realized WAY too late into my tumblr "career" is that when you click on a post and have it pop up, the blog post color turns white, if you dont know what i mean, heres an example:
Here's how I see my intro/navi post (on my blog dash thingie):
But if you click on my page/blog (by clicking my name, not going to youredreamingofroo dot com), here's how anybody else would see it (aka not on dash):
which is VERY annoying especially since I like to make transparent images/banners/gifs and means I have to rebrand my banners- and I can't make the text darker, bc then it'll be hard to see when your just viewing it on the dash :/
I also didn't realize this when I make colored text and thus meaning the text on some posts w/ colored text will be/are hard to read

This struggle will sound so absolutely ridiculous to anyone who isn't insane like me, but one of my biggest struggles is (when I'm working on aesthetics/anything), is nailing down Yelan's color palette. The outfit looks like it could have a decent bit of close-to true blue, right?
Nah, nope. Stupid dark steel mixes, blue/purple mixes, the closest you get to 'true blue' is either a dark midnight blue (which okay, good), or this. Don't get me wrong, everything about her color palette is gorgeous in my opinion, but this concept that she has proper true blues in her 'aesthetic' is a total lie perpetuated by her splash art. It's her background that is very blue, you lying and deceptive liars who lie and work at Hoyo! It isn't her!!
... Granted, I say this, but it's not like it's Hoyoverse that has claimed any of this. But just, you know, let me kick and stomp my feet a la Tinkerbell for just a moment, it makes me happy sometimes. Also, it's Sunday, I always stomp my foot at least once on this day.

The plumbing in our apartment is so bad we just have a hole in the ceiling because we got annoyed that they had to keep coming out, patching the pipe, patching the ceiling,and getting dust everywhere.
Anyway now the shower is having issues that involve more than 1 tool so it's officially the landlords fault.

-->And with that, it was finally off to Van Liddelton Groceries once more! Alice got to open the place up this time, though first, I had her set the prices to “Sale” (aka 15% markup) down from the regular 25% markup. Why? Because they DO NOT need the money, and I wanted to see if stuff would sell faster if it was a little cheaper. She then got sent to have some zoomies to deal with her slowly-growing Fury (no wolfing out at work!) while Victor bunked down for a nap in the break room and Smiler went out to handle the sales floor (after consulting their future cube for advice, since I wanted them to do something while waiting for customers – “the cube abides,” apparently)! Amusingly, the very first Sim to show up for the day was L. Faba – guess she was tired of Morgyn getting all the attention whenever the gang visited the Magic Realm. XD (Which reminds me, I really gotta bind Victor’s dragon familiar to him already...) Anyway, after a bit of lag, Smiler was able to let off one of their patented vampiric happiness bursts for the incoming customers and chat with Catarina Lynx for a bit to try and convince her to buy stuff –
-->And then Alice came back, and I decided that I wanted her to make some more food downstairs rather than force her to chat with customers. A decision that led to me transferring $40,000 of their household funds over to the store so I could upgrade the downstairs kitchen area with the best Schmapple fridges and ovens, and add a counter by the corner so I could put in a stand mixer, a waffle iron, and a pizza oven! All in the blue swatches, since I thought those looked nice. :) I then had Alice use the bulk food processors from Simsonian Library to process some potato flour so she could whip up a batch of dough –
-->Aaand suddenly EVERYONE WAS BUYING SHIT. Yeah, apparently cheaper prices DO encourage more sales. I quickly had Alice run up there to help Smiler with the initial rush (since Victor was still working on taking care of his needs) – Catarina picked up a loaf of cheesy bread for $71; Christen a jar of blueberry jam for $80; and Janae a small mushroom for $5. We got a brief break while some of the customers got distracted by the sight of celebrity Brytani Cho in the store (long enough for Victor to get up and go to the bathroom), but after that and another annoying case of lag, the sales started coming again, with Bella Goth grabbing a box of dried sage for $413, and L. Faba getting a box of cheese for $621. I took a moment to check downstairs and saw that Alice’s dough was ready, so I had her go downstairs and grab that –
Aaand got an LE as she did so. However, that was shortly followed by customer Olivia grabbing an avocado from the produce fridges/warming racks, so I think the LE was actually related to that – specifically, to my Brazen Lotus stuff. Meh. At least I'm pretty sure I know what it is (the game doesn’t have a proper animation to play if a Sim is getting a normally-not-allowed-in-produce-fridges item out of a produce fridge, so it goes “hey”) and that it’s not TOO game-breaking!
