I see, I see.
Been watching GoT for a while, but as soon as I seen him on the Rolling Stone cover I realized who he was.

What season are you on?

Game of Thrones, much?

Making up cultures is quite hard, in my opinion 'cause I can't really go through with it but it's amazing that you can! hopefully, you can fix whatever needs to be fixed in your mapping. It's easy to get lost - I think but that's just me. And yes, people have some trouble accepting that their story isn't the perfect story in the world. Some hate I get, I get just from changing titles

I figured as much - that was my inkling, actually. And it's cool that you cleared up the... thingos Also, you're very welcome. I seldom read stories because I comment and stuff and what I comment, supposedly is too honest so, yeah, I stay away from stories even if my line of duty is about stories Furthermore, some authors are quite hostile.

Yeah, she's in the 8th grade and she's so cute. I wouldn't say she's heavily into C418 in general, but she digs that type of music.

I'm surprised I knew it!
I just remember it because a friend of mine is way into that music and she also speaks like 800 languages so I guess that was one that just stuck from hearing it.

I think all computers come with Flash Player, which allows you to view Flash things (like Youtube and stuff) but to make 'em is a whole other ballgame. (Not sure why. o_O)

Yup, you can do that - you just have to save it as a transparent .png and go to File>import>import to library (or import to stage if you want it to immediately show up on the screen). And it doesn't have to be transparent, but I just learned that if you draw your lineart on a new layer in Photoshop and try to copy it over, Flash makes it not transparent for some reason, so you gotta save it as a transparent file and then import it.

Sorry if this all seems like a total information dump X"D

Do you have Adobe Flash? You can get a free 30-day trial here, which is what I'm using since it's like 20 bucks a freakin' month and I just can't afford that right now, though I don't know what I'm gonna do when the trial runs out. When you open up the program, a window pops up and asks you what kind of document you want to make, and then you click "ActionScript 3.0." Then it gives you a blank stage. When you click "Window" in the toolbar thingy at the top (I can't quite think of the name right now, but it's the one that says "file" and "edit" too), you can click "actions" and make the Actions window pop up, which is where you type the code.

There are a few shape tools you can use to draw, and there's also a brush tool (though it's pretty basic compared to Photoshop or PaintToolSAI). But by default, you can't code shapes and brush strokes right as you make them; you have to convert them to symbols, since they're just "shapes" at first (I honestly have no idea why). The lasso tool is good for selecting all of the shapes you want to become symbols, and when you select them, go up to "Modify" in the toolbar thingy and select "convert to symbol." From what I've been told, making sure it's a Movie Clip is the best choice, and naming it something simple yet descriptive is ideal. Then when you select the object, on one side of the screen a "properties" tab should be visible. There should be a text box that just says <Instance Name>, and when you click that, you can rename it again. (The name you put into the <Instance Name> text box is the way you'll refer to it in the code.)

This website has been saving my butt for the past few days, since my professor isn't really good at teaching code in a lecture hall.

I feel like the only thing I'm good at coding is whatever Mibba uses (is it BBcode?), and no other website seems to use it.

Tumblr has a bad habit of screwing up message formatting, so Mibba is probably the best thing for talkin' about code.
Below in the code chunk, theObjectYouWantToDrag is the name of the object on the stage that you want the user to be able to drag around. dragPic is a function defined in the next line that drags the object around when the user clicks down on the mouse. dropPic is a function defined in the next line that drops the object when the user releases the mouse. (Both of those functions are custom functions; for some reason, ActionScript is weird and you have to define custom functions for every button you wanna make. o_O) But startDrag and stopDrag are built-in functions that allow for that stuff to happen.
Basically, the actual code is like this:

theObjectYouWantToDrag.buttonMode = true;
theObjectYouWantToDrag.mouseChildren=false;

theObjectYouWantToDrag.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragPic);
function dragPic(event:MouseEvent):void {
theObjectYouWantToDrag.startDrag();
}
theObjectYouWantToDrag.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropPic);
function dropPic(event:MouseEvent):void {
theObjectYouWantToDrag.stopDrag();
}

(I don't know if I'm making sense or if I'm jumping on this too early, but yeah! If you need clarification, I'll do my best to help! )

I would very much appreciate the cishets just stepping their merry way out of the mogai community at this point because them thinking they can just step into it whenever they like and claim letters and give themselves pats on the bag from being from Heteronormative Mountain is getting really old, really fast. Ace aros have it tough as it is since it seems like there's so many people speaking out for everyone else except your slice of the community.

The whole look of it definitely gives off that vibe. And thanks, you!

It looks gorgeous on my end, don't you worry. c:
I know, it's so beautiful. I'll admit that watching/reading that end sequence has made me cry on occasion.

They do!!

All the love for the End Poem

Hi hello just popping by to say that I adore your theme.
That's all bye

Don't feel powerless, bby. You're hella awesome don't worry

Some get turned on and I'm like

...bruh, no.

bless you for that 'white boys intimidated' bit in one of the threads made my effin' day!

Same, me too!

Oh that's really cool! I'm kinda scared that I may not be able to do it just because I'm always swamped with school
