Small Update

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 01:21:26 GMT

(I have to post every day for the event, you see.)
I updated my post for DW noobs, although I had to change a lot less than I thought I'd have to. I just changed some wording, added a details tag, and added two suggested communities (fictional_fans and agonyaunt).

Interest Check: Visual Kei Song Reccs Comm

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 06:46:25 GMT

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I was just wondering if there's anyone here, followers, mutuals, passers-by alike, who would be interested in a community where we share and comment on vkei* songs + MVs, and nothing else? No general discussion, because I shouldn't be allowed to moderate that. Touching the conversations I imagine could happen would be like touching hot coals, but if we stay laser-focused on discussing the music then it's fine. At the very least, there will likely be a monthly thread where people can ask for personalized reccs!

The more I think about the comm the more ideas I have for it in terms of little events/challenges and such, so yea. I got the idea because a server I'm in has a channel where people post music, but it irks me how fast it goes and how there's no organization, so for this comm I want songs/MVs to be tagged with the subgenre (ex. kurofuku, tanbi, kote, menhera) and sound (ex. rock, metal, punk, electronic). If the poster is unsure which tags to use they won't have to tag anything, because the mod(s) will do it... Ideally! I don't really know how the specifics of tags in communities work, so we'll see.

If the comm really does happen, then while it's small I can only imagine needing a music-obsessed co-mod for adding/editing sound tags. I'm still learning about genres of music, so while I want everything to be tagged properly I don't trust myself to get the sounds right. However, I don't want just anyone to be able to add tags, because the ensuing arguments might be wild.

Anyways, yea ^_^ Let me know if you're interested or have something else to say. I won't say the number out loud (digitally), but there is a certain amount of positive responses I need before I seriously work on this. And of course if this is a bad idea that everyone hates I would prefer not to waste my time trying it, LOL.

View Poll: #33937

*The community won't be 100% visual kei. Some of my ideas for events/challenges, both unique and reoccurring, include sharing related scenes and genres. However, I do plan for events where we can share not-vkei songs to be shorter than the ones that are vkei-only. I've thought so much about this.

Two Questions

Sun, 18 May 2025 16:23:05 GMT

1. Does anyone know how these were used?

I thought about it, and concluded maybe they went on your friends' walls. Kidzworld had comment sections on profiles but we couldn't send images in them, but if I could that's probably how I would've used them? These days I'm not active on any sites that have walls or profile comments anymore... Do I really wanna hop back on SpaceHey just to use these internet greeting cards...

The ones that have no use as a normal greetings card and are just funny I assume are things you would put in your profile/bio/signature/etc. I don't really know though. I'm too young! If anyone knows or remembers the various ways people would use them, please tell me.

2. Does anyone know any microblogging platform that has built-in RSS feeds and customizable profiles beyond "you can choose an icon and header" besides Status.cafe? Or is that the only one? I don't dislike it or anything, I just want to know if I have options.

Three Weeks for Dreamwidth Coming Up

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 09:22:22 GMT

Sooooo, like the title says, Three Weeks is upon us. I don't remember when I first heard about it... But I'm eager to participate!

I wanted to say this in advance: Sorry if I seem annoying :( During the fest I'd say the point is to disprove DW is dead, so I have posts lined up for every single day of those three weeks, plus I'm going to make myself interact more. I doubt I'll actually post every single day; it'll probably become every other day or every 3 days at some point as I lose steam, but I'll definitely be more active than I already am.

If possible I would like that you, the person reading this, consider joining in. All you have to do is be a little social. Just commenting on stuff more will suffice, but if you want to post more, I suggest creating things people won't be able to get outside of DW (but at the end you can repost them elsewhere!). Of course, if you're not a creative, you can do memes or question prompts and stuff. Any activity is good activity! And don't forget about communities.

By the way, you don't have to post every day like I plan to or anything. You don't have to make creative things either. Just one is awesome! And you have three weeks to do so! I don't want to say what exactly my plans are because I'll be embarrassed if they fall through, but so far I've written 4 pages worth of what I suppose are tutorials. Tutorials on what? You'll see in a few days. ^^

Do You Need Something?

Fri, 04 Apr 2025 01:12:36 GMT

Lately I've been mildly put off by people following me without saying anything. Like, Can I help you?

It just makes me wonder what they're here for. But I don't think I even read something to make me think this way. I wonder if I always felt like this deep down and something about the past internet being more social made me come to this naturally. I'm not going to put in my bios "don't follow me without speaking, or at least dropping a like somewhere," but it really does feel like someone walking into my house without greeting me.

Well, I can't be mad since I'm the one leaving the door open. They'd have to knock first if I was priv, but these are public accounts. I'm not mad at anyone. It just bothers me a little that I don't know what they want.

Website Redesign

Sun, 16 Mar 2025 12:19:05 GMT

Holaaaaa tout le monde! This is the entry where I explain myself and the drastic site redesign. It may or may not be up depending on how soon after posting you read this, but yea.

TLDR; Too many people have super busy sites and I wanted to be #different, plus I wanted to streamline my layout, plus I wanted something I made entirely myself, and now I hope I won't be doing anything like this again for a while. I also might get sucked into a tornado later today but it's cool.

You might also notice I seriously streamlined my links page. Worry not! The ones removed from my website will either be reposted here with the #links tag, or they were unnecessary and you won't miss them when I don't share them again. Or you'll see them again in a linkdump even further into the future... You shall see.
