Moving Blogs

Just so it’s easier to access for me and I don’t have to keep switching between accounts, I made my personal blog a sideblog for my RP one since I use RP more. 

That means I’m moving from here to @xelyn-craft

So, if you follow me for my fics or art or just as a friend, please go follow that blog. This one is retiring. Thanks!

Simon used to be homeless, but always managed to survive on his own. Then he was offered a place to stay by an attractive stranger. His life has been a non-stop whirlwind of dramatic events ever since.

He has fallen in love with the artist he now lives with. But as Simon and Markus’ relationship begins to bloom into an emotional romance, their love has to compete with all the many other difficulties Simon’s life presents. His history has caught up to him and things he tried to bury are coming to light faster than he can throw dirt on them again.

The numerous struggles of his past are colliding violently with the present and Simon is too overwhelmed to face it all alone. Markus assures him that he doesn’t have to, that he will help him through it all and love and support him unconditionally. Unfortunately, after everything he’s been through, Simon is afraid to trust anyone and allow himself to be vulnerable.

But, perhaps with Markus by his side, he might just find his courage. Simon wishes to face his fears and learn how to let the one he loves most help him. Together, they may just be able to conquer the obstacles they face.

RPThreadTracker Is No Longer Shutting Down - But It Needs Your Support! <3

Hello, everyone of the Tumblr RP community!

As I mentioned in my previous post…I’ve been really floored and touched by the response to my original intention to shut down RPThreadTracker. I’ve gotten plenty of extremely kind messages from so many of you saying that it’s been a critical part of your roleplay experience, and I’d be lying if I said that enthusiasm hasn’t helped rekindle my own for the project (and programming in general, really; 2020 has been a tough year…)

However, a number of the things I said in the original shutdown post do still stand. I have other projects which are becoming a conflict for my development time, and hosting the tracker is (sadly) not free. With that in mind:

RPThreadTracker is not shutting down! But it could really use your support in the following areas.

Patreon Support

I have a Patreon for my web app development now! With Patreon, you can contribute a monthly amount of your choice to help support the site’s hosting fees and development time. If you can contribute, you will really add to the likelihood that I can keep supporting RPThreadTracker, and other applications, long-term.

You can sign up to be a Patreon patron here:

https://www.patreon.com/blackjacksoftware

Every bit of support definitely helps - and I have some perks offered in return! Definitely open to suggestions on other perks as well. (I don’t know if people, for instance, would be interested in merch with “RPThreadTracker” or my business logo on it. :D But I can make that happen.)

Even if you can’t contribute, I would very much appreciate anyone sharing this to get more eyes on it.

Development Support

RPThreadTracker is fully open-source, located in three projects on GitHub:

https://github.com/blackjackkent/RPThreadTrackerV3.FrontEnd https://github.com/blackjackkent/RPThreadTrackerV3.BackEnd https://github.com/blackjackkent/RPThreadTracker.BackEnd.TumblrClient I welcome anyone with development interest or experience to contribute to fixes or feature development on any of these projects. They are all furnished with documentation regarding how to set up a local development environment (ReactJS for the frontend, C# and SQL Server for the backend) and should hopefully be accessible to new developers interested in getting involved.

I will over the next few days/weeks be using the Issues tab on these projects to start collecting a list of outstanding issues and feature ideas that I have for the site, so that should be a source of ideas going forward for anyone who wants to contribute coding time. I will also be phasing out the contact form in the application in favor of redirecting users to log bug reports on GitHub as well to make it easier for contributors to address them as well as me.

Please feel free to get in touch with me if you are interested in contributing but don’t know where to start or have questions. You can also join the Discord server linked in my GitHub bio - it’s primarily oriented towards my Twitch gaming community but I also discuss programming stuff there and would love for it to be more of a forum for web development chat.

Again, Thank You

I really did not expect the support and response that came out of my previous announcement, and I hope that I can keep counting on your support in the future. Please contact me with any questions or suggestions, and best of luck in your writing adventures!

- Roz (Trackermun)

🎬DBH| I don’t wanna shut down… ••• This video took a looooot of my time😁but it was worth it. DBH was released a long time ago, but the opportunity to play and shoot it appeared only now. The received emotions in this game served as an inspiration for this video… I cleaned up the sound as best I could and hid the game interface where possible. I played all the endings and almost all the dialogues for that. My computer could not start Detroit, so I played and filmed on my brother’s computer (this explains why new videos have not been on the channel for a long time). And then I sorted and sorted the filmed… And sorted… And then edited. I almost lost my mind😂Damn it, how much effort was put into creating this! In short, I’m happy with what I’ve created, so hope you will like it too!💗 ••• Vid has EN and RU subtitles. Include if you need.

#when the fan made trailer is better than the real one #this is badass

the way markus says “carl…” when administering his medication…… the way north says “i knew we’d end up doing something fun” when infiltrating the cyberlife store……. the way simon says “we all know that’s not gonna stop them” during the demonstration……. give me more of this!! this is what i want!!!!

#absolutely THIS #I have deeper thoughts on these lines specifically but i could spend hours ranting about that alone #but it just proves beyond a shadow of a doubt #the idosyncrasies of their personalities #you don't get to see much of them in the game and that is a diservice to their characters #i hate that we got jipped so much good character content for the Jericho 4 #because of crappy writing #but these few lines #and the actors delivering them just perfectly #is what i live for #it proves there is a whole depth of character there that you don't get to see except for those little glimpses

[xelyncraft]

#kind of have to agree with this #reducing someone to a top or bottom like that is all they can do or are good for is insulting #they may have a preference and that is fine #but too many people base their entire perception of a person on if they have top or bottom energy #especially in fandom but irl too #quite frankly I find it offensive #people's personalities are more complex than that

[xelyncraft]

markus is So Good

#Yes #I too would like to join the markus fanclub please #love it so much

The Philippines just got hit by the strongest tropical cyclone ever recorded in history

Yesterday, November 1, 2020, Typhoon Rolly (international name Goni) hit the central part of Luzon, Philippines. 

source: https://twitter.com/DrJeffMasters/status/1322676688002625536?s=20

Like the tweet said, it is the most powerful tropical cyclone to hit landfall in recorded history. 

The typhoon has now passed, but the aftermath is bad. Houses destroyed, farmlands flooded, and many, many evacuees. If you would like to see what’s going on, check the hashtag #RollyPH on Twitter, there’s a lot, which brings me to the most important point

how you can help

You can donate to help relief operations. 

There are many donation drives currently being circulated on Twitter, and you can find them by searching the #ReliefPH hashtag, here are just a few that I’ve found that have an option to donate through PayPal.

source: https://twitter.com/KayaNatinPH/status/1322819406578155520?s=20

And there are many many more. 

This is just the tip of the iceberg, a lot of people in my country are trying their absolute best to chip in and help those affected, but help from outside would definitely be something that could go a long way. 

If you can’t donate, maybe a reblog could bring this post to people who could. 

Thank you for reading. Stay safe and healthy, everybody.

#omg i had no idea #i cant donate because i dont have any money #but definitely reblogging #signal boost

[xelyncraft]

I made these in response to hate crimes in my community. They are full size and free to download and print if you’d like to use them, too.

[xelyncraft]

I hardly ever get tagged in stuff that isn’t RP related, so thank you @disterra​ for including me! It was fun to read your answers too. <3

What’s your name or any nickname you use? 

I’ve always wanted to go by Lyn, since it’s a more normal derivative of my name. But, most people usually adopt Xe or Xel as a nickname for me because they like the unusualness of my name, lol. I’m fine with that though.  

What’s your gender and sexuality (feel free to talk about it)? 

I am male, though I don’t like to conform to typical gender stereotypes and am considered pretty androgynous. My sexuality is kind of difficult to define, but I’ve settled on using panromantic demisexual as the simplest way to explain it. I don’t care what is or isn’t between someone’s legs so much as I care who they are as a person. I do feel sexual attraction to all genders and sexes, but I would not be willing to actually engage in sexual intercourse with someone, even if I am strongly attracted to them, unless we had a significant emotional bond and strong trust firmly established in the relationship. That won’t stop me from thirsting tho.

What are your hobbies? 

Art, writing, reading, video games, and spending time in the outdoors/woods (tho that hasn’t happened much this year because of Covid, which makes me sad)

What are your favorites? I’m a really big fan of sci-fi, especially anything robot/android related. Some of my favorite fandoms include Detroit: Become Human, the Alien franchise (you know, with the Xenomorphs), and Red vs Blue (tho I’m not caught up with the series and had to take a break from it for a while, haven’t gotten back to it yet). I like survival horror video games a lot and my favorite youtuber is H2ODelirious because he plays a lot of survival horror games but makes them absolutely hilarious to watch. My favorite color is silver/chrome, my favorite food is sushi, and my favorite animals are dogs. I have one, her name is Rayleigh and she is a black lab/Rhodesian ridgeback mix. Here, have a picture of my pretty fur baby.

What do you do on this app? (feel free to plug any side blogs)

On this blog (my main) I usually just post a bunch of my art and try to promote the fics I have on AO3 when I write new chapters. Sometimes I’ll reblog random stuff that I like too. It’s not really strictly for any specific thing, just whatever I feel like posting. But I don’t use it as much as my side blogs, which are for Role Play. I have a few different RP blogs for the DBH fandom. My current muses are Simon - @simon-pl600-501-743-923​ Markus and Leo - @the-manfred-boys​ Ralph, Daniel, and Jerry(s) - @plastic-with-personality​ and an original character of mine named Alma - @synthetic-human-prototype​ 

Who are some people that deserve more love? I don’t have a whole lot of friends on my main outside of Dee (the lovely person that tagged me), but I honestly have no problem with any of my followers taking this and doing it. So feel free to steal it if you see it and think it looks like fun. I’d tag my friends in the RP community, but I’m not sure if I want to bother them with something unrelated to RP, so I won’t get specific. Like I said, if you see this and want to do it, go ahead.

And, lastly any words you would like to say? Life is tough right now for a lot of us. Don’t give up. I love you. We will make it through this. Keep being awesome and spreading love instead of hate. Find happiness in whatever you can and share it. You aren’t alone. You got this.

#thanks for the tag! #this was fun
