Remembered I have a blog and a website all of a sudden. Wanted to update this, and also to spend some more time making a real custom html website. I have so far been using a modified version of sadgirl's xanga theme, because it was simple in a way that appealed to me but really I think that was laziness of not wanting to spend all this time coding a site and then not using it. But now that I know that I actually do like the freedom that writing and coding here give me, I think I'm more likely to keep at it even after I sink the time into making a fun custom site.

That thought process combined with having spent a decent amount of time trawling thru Wayback Machine archived pages of personal blogs, fansites, shipping sites, gif archives, etc etc etc. The amount of inspiration I have felt coding-wise has exceeded the amount of inspiration I've felt towards many other things. So I think I'll sink some time into that today, maybe tomorrow.

I have a four-day week this week and I unceremoniously dropped out of the jcink rp group I was in - I sort of hate being in groups I don't admin, so maybe now that I more or less understand how the jcink scene works, I'll put some time into setting something up. But the other thing is that the overlap between my two social circles online (tumblr trans people and jcink rp writers) has left something to be desired. Most of the jcink writers have the flavour of like, 50 Shades of Grey fans. Which I don't mean to be derisive of, except obviously I do. But they're mostly 30-something white women with children and husbands and I just feel so like. I feel like so disperate and scummy and seperate from their understanding of this all, and so I make characters that I like and can relate to but they don't fit in with their characters.

I've been thinking about setting up a jcink rp based on mork borg's cy-borg expansion, since I love a cyberpunk setting and theirs is great, and like. Actually punk-y enough that I feel okay about using it. I still sink plenty of time into Cyberpunk 2077 but it's a flawed world, a flawed product, even beyond the glitches - like those don't even hit me on the level of being important in terms of issues. I think there was a youtube review titled something like "all cyber no punk" and yeah that feels about right for CP2077. Cyberpunk Red is better in that regard, as far as I understand. But cy-borg is very out and out with its politics and its setting of scandi-somewhere is appealing to me in its own way.

Anyways. On from here to codepen to work thru whatever the actual theme for this site will be. Wish me luck.
