Shrines & Javascript
Nov. 11th, 2025 09:58 amA Signup?? I signed up for the Ghost of You shrine challenge after seeing a mention of it on ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}

I want to improve my skills with Javascript, so I'm looking at javascript.info and this Nodejs developer roadmap.

Lately I've been watching and making notes on some of Ms Boba's programming livestreams on twitch, hoping that they'll be able to help me pick up some skills. By collecting those notes into some kind of readable format, I hope to share what's in those videos for an audience who might not be up to watching them.
So let's get into what is, at time of writing, her latest video:
Making Decentralised Emojis happen
Details:
- title: Making Decentralised Emojis Happen

- TL:DR: Working on Astrolabe! Explaining what it is, how it works and then trying to make decentralised emojis on @atproto happen.

Fandoms: Danny Phantom, Batfamily (DCU)
Characters: Stephanie Brown, Jazz Fenton, Danny Fenton
Jazz Fenton joins Steph's dorm with a Body Bin™, which... shouldn't be a cause for concern?? Hopefully no dead bodies will show up.
Content Warning: This fic does odd, potentially triggering things with pronouns. xe and xey pronouns are used to mark the point of view character in narration (non-quoted text). They are intended to have a similar role to I/us/you in that they do not reflect gender or pronoun preference. I suspect this may be triggering to some people -- Please check in with your needs and mindstate before continuing.

Code has eaten me
Mar. 6th, 2024 07:20 pmI'm so tired, but I really want to get this out! I finished the artwork I was working on; it's not very detailed but I'm rusty and fretting over making it better than I was at my best is very, very silly.
I'm fantasising about trying a new type of collaborative fanwork -- something small, and half-zine, half-game, all website. I'm wondering who might want to be a part of it. I'll need to ask humans. Terrifying creatures.
So, what's next? I got to ramble about the plot of one of my sleeping fanfics to someone yesterday and it was SO exciting, it's just a little weird thematically because... I don't want to get too into it, but it's a dabihawks fic and the way they end up together in the end is a tragedy from Dabi's pov. But that's going to be deeply unexpected for any reader who's not paying close attention to the theme? Maybe I just need to foreshadow the ending better. Maybe I should bring in Hawks' relationship (and lack thereof) with his mother to round out the themes??? ohh, there's an idea... oh and I forgot about the mask theme...
Hopefully I'll squeeze in some writing, bookbinding, low stakes art, and personal website things over the next few days.

Coding + Conversation in Ao3 Comments
Mar. 2nd, 2024 09:37 pmBack so soon -- thise feels almost spammy on such a laidback website as Dreamwidth. So hey, no obligation to subscribe or comment.
( Excessive Coding Noises for the Curious )
Fandom Arting
Finished working on the lines of my WIP! And I started trying out colours, but I really need to start studying some references at least.
ps. just added the dabihawks ao3 feed; I think it was a mistake XD I maybe I need a modified form that updates once a day.
Fandom Coding
I wrote the code to fill the tests from yesterday. It took a while, but the tests were passing on the first try, which... is really a testament to both how I've improved as a programmer and how helpful the tools are that I'm using. One of those tools was [regex101.com], which I usually use to write and test my regular expressions.( Excessive Coding Noises for the Curious )

I had an interesting chat to some folks about AO3 commenting culture. One of us was reminicing about "the good old days" when ao3 comments were where people had lively chats. Another was talking about how in their fandom (iirc youtube minecraft) there were often conversations so long they turned the replies into skinny spaghetti strands of fragmented words. I never recall much conversation on ao3 myself, but I love seeing it and participating in it, and I think it's worth asking an author if they'd like conversation in their comments -- they might not even thought of it, and as one of my conversation parters said, maybe they do but aren't comfortable asking. For some authors, it'd be nice for a reader to take the first step.Recs & Reads
- Today's feeds brought to my attention [A vampire knife fit for Toga].
- Very excited to see dorothycanfly's new Dabihawks fic [Wild horses couldn't drag me away] (Rated E).
- [This art of Rei holding young Touya and post recent confrontation Touya is hitting me somewhere hard and uncomfortable]
- ... I just really enjoy this one [Youtuber who likes puzzles].

Mar. 1st, 2024 08:36 pmSo those sins I mentioned before? Turns out people cancelled, so no-one need ever know what was going on there. That's great.
Things have been a little rough. My mood's been flaring up, which means I need to rest a lot and try to fore myself to sleep, meanwhile I am completely scatter-brained and can barely focus.
My recent fandoming has been around [fandom coders] and their project [AO3.js]. It's a scraper that I'm trying to add kink meme functionality to, which would make it easier to build tools to run and talk about AO3-hosted kinkmemes -- eg. you could embed a prompt into Discord, which afaik is functionality no bot offers right now.
I only managed to get a little done -- I wrote some tests for the task What is the author of this prompt, what pseud did they sign up with, or did they create an anonymous prompt? This problem is... simple for now, but I foresee it being... near impossible later. It was suggested to me that I submit a ticket to AO3 asking if they could change the HTML of kink memes to make this easier. ngl, I was kind of horrified by the suggestion! I haven't even submitted any of my changes yet, I'm not ready to be a real coder.
The code fails the test right now, but that's the whole point of test-centered development.
Ps. [Here's an adorable image of Keigo in a fluffy coat with a falcon (?) by じろー on twitter]

Just checking in
Feb. 26th, 2024 07:55 pmIt's been a little while since I've written anything here... I keep having dreams of keeping a fandom journal, and then, doing nothing with that Idea? Anyway,..
Today I worked on two projects: the first is a fanbind of By Any Other Name. That involved working on creating two elements for the file page. These are little images that decorate the page. The first one I created was a flaming feather.
So this feather... I was very inspired by this image:
and I used this bonfire image to find inspiration for the shape of my flames.
The feather was never actually intendedn to be a feather -- it's supposed to be a leaf. Anyway, I'm not 100% satisfied with it, but perhas what's done is good!
It's... been a long time since I drew, but having joined the Dabi Bang, I really feel the need to show people what I can do! It's a lot of pressure to put on myself, tbh. I need to chill a bit more. With bookbinding, it's cool, we can do poorly and still have a lot of fun. But with art, I have expectations!! And with a bang, I wanna draw lovely things for the writer!!
Anyway, enough fretting. The progress! This art (much like canon MHA!) is all about the hands. I ended up using some guides for the fingers -- one character has outstreatched, flat fingers that are experiencing a fair bit of foreshortening. so creating little 4-sided shapes to represent those really helped. I'll add a discord link, not sure it'll work...
honestly it's a bit of a reminder to chill out about my digital drawing. The progress of going from "sketch that suggests the presence of fingers" to "we have individual fingers now!" went pretty smoothly.
Today, I got up to date with Finding Light by owlonapanda on ao3! (ch 4).
Tomorrow, I need to do a couple of things I'm avoiding. cleaning up, phone calls... confessing my sins... but I think I'd like to work on my sketch and maybe some programming?

What next?
