I decided that Amary's last

I decided that Amary's last name is Elaphea (which I took from another name for Artemis, Elapheaea, meaning "of the deer," and was one of the names I originally considered for Amary).
I figure she should have one, anyway, since she used to be human, although I don't know how common it was for people to have actual surnames in ancient Greece.

Aha, I knew there was a braid for men somewhere.

I also found some possibilities for Amary.
bottom, "purpledk"
bottom, purple
this one works, too, and is cute

Although it's not difficult to recolor hair. I know there are some styles in the game that would work well, if recolored.

|D I guess I should've held

|D I guess I should've held off on making Amary then. At least hairstyles are changeable. (Though I did find a purple hair I thought was good, and used it. Screenshots during normal hours.)

Okies so firstly, VCG let me

Okies so firstly, VCG let me know that Toukan was the fabulous deer that my Jester was playing around with in the forest the other day for a bit-so let me say THANKIES SO VERY MUCH for the wonderful statue-dancing fun, and I hope to see you and Toukan around in the forest again sometime soon, tee hee! Laughing out loud

Secondly, I'm Zebbie, pleased to meet you! :3 You seem awesome, and I'm sooo tracking this update thingy. I also adore your art style, eee! Laughing out loud

Finally, the name 'Toefat' cracked me up. It's most definitely my word of the day *giggles* ♥ Have a great day, eee~!
Pegasicorn's picture

Jester's crazy but awesome. I

Laughing out loud Jester's crazy but awesome. I still need to post screenshots of the statue-dancing. XD

I can't claim the name "toefat" though. Fayne is the one behind it really, by saying she kept reading "tophat" as "toefat". So I used it to make the deer. Laughing out loud

Thank you for the compliments! Just don't give me an ego high. Laughing out loud

Ahhh, oh well. No big deal.

BLOG POST Invisible music

BLOG POST

Invisible music players.
CUT IT OUT.

I (grudgingly) accept the auto-playing music, since I can pause it.
(Though people who use it are being inconsiderate of those with a limited amount of internet they can use that gets sapped by those auto-music players, even if they're paused, since the music that started to play keeps downloading. When that bandwidth limit is nearing its end for the month, they're suddenly loading at 56k speed. How would you like it?)
But music you can't stop?
A big no-no when it comes to web design. (Scroll down to "The Bells and Whistles aka Multimedia".)

Since this site gets posts so fast, I'll open maybe 4 pages up at once in tabs, and look at them while the others are loading. I don't wanna suddenly hear music playing from who-knows-what tab (or more than one), and not know which one it is thanks to the music player being invisible.

I know my opinion on invisible music players/autoplaying music won't get them to stop being used, but maybe it'll get those who use them to stop and think about what they're doing for a second.

Bottom line: If someone is going to use their internet bandwidth, give them the choice instead of deciding for them that 5mb will get sapped.

Ranting aside...
Secret project in the works. I won't be posting it until it's done. Only one person knows about it, since I wanted their permission first, as it somewhat involves them. It motivates me to keep going on it too.
Which reminds me. I should change the "Art Status" section of the main blog.

In other news...
I hate out front door. |D
It keeps getting stuck, and needs to be forced to open or close. I end up slamming it by accident from the amount of effort I need to use to close it.
Do door frames or doors expand when it's cold? O.o Our heating isn't keeping it as warm as it did last year, so that might be why.
(I swear I need separate sleeves or something. My arms are cold, but my torso is too warm for a sweatshirt. *freezes and overheats at the same time*)

Invisible music players? I

Invisible music players? I didn't even know that was possible.
I usually have my speakers turned off.
But I thought we weren't supposed to use auto-play music anymore? Or it's at least discouraged. There was that post by Aureia a while back... And people are still doing it?
Pegasicorn's picture

(Apparently you can fiddle

(Apparently you can fiddle with the dimensions of the music player in the coding so it won't show.)
In regards to that complaint against the auto-music on blogs, I think people figure, "They shouldn't care if the music player is below the page break, and therefore not on the blog list pages". -.-
I'll never use autoplay. EVER.
We were even told when I took web design not to have music you can't stop.

Yeah, I won't use auto-play,

Yeah, I won't use auto-play, because it always annoys me when I do have my speakers on, especially if I'm listening to my own music. So I don't do it because I know it would be annoying to other people. If they want to hear the music, they can press "play." Well, I guess putting the music below the page break does at least solve the problem of having a bunch of music loading on one page, but I was under the impression that having auto-play music anywhere in a blog was discouraged.
Pegasicorn's picture

Yea, that's what I thought

Yea, that's what I thought too, but I don't know if that was literally said, so people must be using that as a loophole.
Seed's picture

It was said, if I'm not

It was said, if I'm not mistaken: Auria did a post about it... The first thing I learned when I started running RP sites was that it was really rude and obnoxious to have autoplay music on a page.
Pegasicorn's picture

Perhaps I should find that

Perhaps I should find that blog, and post what I wrote as a separate blog, with Auriea's blog linked in it.

about the invisi autoplaying music
I seriously agree with you. xD

Here, here.

...You know, I suddenly got to thinking that perhaps the fact that the community is excessively oversensitive is somehow the downside in the sort of traits that makes the community good, but I'm not sure how to really explain the ideas clearly.

@VCG: I saw that blog you

@VCG: I saw that blog you posted about it. I think you said not to comment on it though, otherwise I would've put my agreement on it. |D But I'm not sure people are getting it, so I'm poking this place (again) about it.

@Seed: Well, I posted about it. And it's already got comments. *goes to check* Hopefully no arguments start.
Verycrazygirl's picture

Haha, it wasn't exactly not

Haha, it wasn't exactly not to comment, I was being worried about comments containing offensive material, and thus people feeling singled out like in many posts.
Unfortunately it seems people disregarded it and more of these invisi players emerged.
It would seem feelings need to be hurt to get the point across these days. :/
'Tis quite a pity really, considering we try to be a peaceful community. (Not that it always works, haha. *Hangs head in shame*)

Bast is not amused by the amusement. But he's still keeping, though he's not completely sure why. XD (Or maybe he is, but denying it?)

I didn't know what Darkweaver was pawing that for at first. But then I noticed part of it sticking up more. |D I thought he thought it was growing or something, since the rest are shorter (I think they're supposed to be sawed-down idols).

Amary felt kinda bad about

Amary felt kinda bad about laughing at Toukan after seeing his reaction (which I assumed to be more ashamed/embarrassed rather than scared). She was just kinda surprised at seeing him without antlers, and thought he looked silly. X3

He is embarrassed. ^^; It

He is embarrassed. ^^; It helped that she bowed after though. Heck, he'll probably be laughing at himself later. |D

I think today is the first time I've been using what I consider to be an "embarrassed" emote. (Scared + sad) |D But he'll get over it, especially since his antlers will start growing back soon.

BLOST

...y'know, I just might stick with "BLOST" instead of "BLOG POST". This time I did it without thinking. XD;;

I was thinking about streaming while drawing a pic for Moogie, but now I'm not sure. My internet's already interrupted itself a few times today, so I don't trust it enough to stay stable during the streaming. <<

Another comic page should be up tonight/early in the morning (depending on when I finish, and depending on people's time zones).

After the comic, it's back to drawing my storyboard panels. The comic is good practice. =]
But gah, the semester starts on Tuesday. I don't wanna go back yet. D= This vacation felt like it went too fast.
And it's my last winter break. D8 *graduates with a Bachelor's degree in May* Real world, I fear you. Especially since I'll need to job hunt in NYC.
Oh joy. More buses.

It was great: when I popped in (before realizing it was way later than when I wanted to be up), it was like Toukan was sitting at an almost-all-doe teaparty of sorts.
