— welp, I'm entering my goth phase. goodbye contemporary, warm, golden magnum dong and hello to black,
mature, y, modern magnum dong.
it felt like time for an update tbh esp considering I've been hit with muse to code for the first time in over a year,
granted it's just a single profile but you know, I'll take what I can get! direction wise.. well, I pretty much said it
just before; i'm very much enjoying my charcoals, my deep jewel tones, and I think I'd like to bring back some
of that magazine style I had back in the day. This was partly prompted from me looking at trash atelier both on
rpr and aff and partly because I'm simping over Machine Gun Kelly's pop punk music atm. So even though the
pending layout is still rather light and airy, you can expect a whole heap of black over the coming months! I'm
looking forward to it and I hope you are too!
— hūa rp pack ⋮ re-coded it cause I think it's a pretty cute rp pack and I don't really have much that I'd make available aside from that and daisy town. not much else to say.
— finneas ⋮ what was originally no.19, I ended up changing the name cause I thought 'no.19' was in bad taste considering what happened last year yikes. there were a heap of changes made and honestly, I had two extra profiles planned but I lost my mojo. either way, these profiles aren't too shabby, i reckon my favourites are motherfvcker, camino and veronique.
— general ⋮ that's probably the end of my coding for a long while yet; at the very least, with profiles. my mojo, kinda like with the site, has tanked for now :( i think I'm going to stick to blogs and misc style layouts if I'm going to code anything(which isn't likely ngl since I'm barely around anymore). um.. idk, I feel my disinterest in coding and rpr is really obvious because a.) I keep bringing it up(I really gotta stop, it's probably super exhausting to listen to over and over again) and b.) I can't think of anything else to write. I don't particularly want to leave this on a negative note so I will say that I really miss the people here, I've popped in a few times at Magicians(wonderful rp, go join) and the few times I've been in the ooc room, it's been a blast; the memes, the roasting and all that has been great. I'm not around heaps but I do enjoy the times when I am.
copying + pasting what I did in my blog cause it's easiest!
for whatever reason, pastebin has decided to flag some of my stuff as 'innapropriate' despite it being the standard gibberish and trivia stuff so there are some codes, which i will list below, that are privated despite me making them public again. if you'd like to use the code, comment on the gallery and i will make a temporary rp to co-ad you in and you can just take the code from there.
the following codes are private:
- matilda ( profile )
- dublin jack ( profile )
- oroton ( profile )
- nouveau ( profile )
- pepperjack ( roleplay - main )
afaik, those are the only codes not available. let me know if there are others!
— meraki ⋮ a little gallery / tracker / friends list layout I did about a month ago. it was a part of a collection but tbh, I think it's mad cute so I figured I'd just release it now because there's been nothing new code wise for a while!
— no.19 ⋮ the newest collection name! there is a grand total of 8 codes( excluding rooms + couples ) in the collection and I'm finished with 5 out of 8! those 5 are profiles / a blog so all that's left is 3 roleplay layouts to do, woohoo! I'm low-key kinda dreading it srghjaeklw; roleplay layouts are hard ugh but I have a few ideas :) we'll get to it eventually pft
it's been about a month since I last posted but I figured I'd do a little update here in terms of my life, the gallery, etc, etc.
— the gallery ⋮ two out of seven codes are done. I will try get a third done tomorrow since it's an easy code( a blog, so one of my specialties ) but we'll see. I've accidentally made the two I've done both blue though rip lol but I can't be bothered changing the colour scheme cause it suits lmao. One of the RP layouts is also going to be blue because.. well, it's in the title so you'll see when I make them public. I'm taking my time with these because I've learnt a few new techniques and and I want to make sure I'm not coding for the sake of coding; it's a good idea because I already want to revisit one of the codes already done because it's.. ok. Just ok. So that means I can do better.
— roleplayrepublic ⋮ co-adminning magicians has been one of the funnest things I've done in a little while! even though I can't really be active due to reasons talked about after this, I've thoroughly enjoyed my time there and am keen to get back to it. I have to go on hiatus though, most likely, also because of reasons stated below but idk what my future on rpr is for sure yet; aside from magicians, I have no interest whatsoever in any of the roleplays that are being opened and I can't really take on any more private roleplay plots no matter how much I want too. I'm not ready to give up on rpr yet because I still enjoy being here but I don't know. I'm not sure I see the site picking up anytime soon.
— life ( job ) ⋮ I've picked up a second job! hooray! well, that was more than a month ago but since Christmas is coming, it's really picked up in terms of shifts and stuff; more often than not, I'm being asked to stay 2-3 hours past my designated finish time but I don't mind it! It's in the industry that I want which is Interior Design / Decorating but I'm only a sales assistant atm. I kind of prefer it that way because I get to learn from my co-workers and how they do things and, hopefully, this job will go beyond Christmas casual and maybe even become a full on career :D the drawback of having two jobs though; I can't be active as much as I'd like. I'm tired most days because both jobs are quite demanding energy wise.
— life ( socials ) ⋮ the depressing part of the update but idk, I like talking about it because it makes me feel less cluttered mentally and emotionally; like, I feel better the more I talk about it. I don't know where I stand with a lot of my friends right now( that seems to be the quote of the week for me, I've said it so many times ); I've talked to euphrosyne and yxgurt about this( and ayeong though she wasn't awake when I was talking about it ) but I found out through other people about that I thought I'd have been kept in the loop for :'). I just deleted a massive paragraph going into each problem( one more so than the other ) because I started treating this post like a vent journal which it isn't. Talking about it feels good and I've lost some of the lightness that I just gained from the thought of talking about it but.. yeah, I don't want to turn into a venter / ranter.
I might be joining this group called Rovers in the new year; I was invited by some friends( not the ones mentioned above ) because we went to a house boat / river together this past weekend and I'd told them how bored I was with life; how I wanted to go for day trips out into the country, how I wanted to go on 3 hours hikes, find billabongs in the national parks, and more. So Rovers is essentially scouts but for adults( I think the age range for Rovers is 18-25 ) but instead of doing stuff like learning to tie knots, start campfires, etc, you go canyoning and have massive country( even world! ) wide get togethers in the outback where you camp and explore the land. It sounds ing sick so if I have the time, I'm going to join and live my best adventuring life. I've wasted so many years wanting and not actually doing.
— life ( future plans ) ⋮ ya girl wants to be a twitch thot. nah, nah, sort of, not really. lmao. I'm currently putting all my money to finally building my own gaming set up and tbh, since I've become a professional simp and for the above paragraph, I want to try out streaming. Not because I believe I can be as famous / good as some of the streamers on the platform( hell no, I don't offer anything as good as the dreamSMP crew or Sykkuno / Corpse / Whatever ) because I don't want that; I just want to use the platform to connect with other gamers, make more friends around the world and have fun, as cliche as that sounds. I mean, who knows, I may not end up streaming because I'm well aware I don't offer much in terms of content but maybe, just maybe, I can strike gold and get what I want out of the experience. I'll admit that a childish dream of mine is to get enough recognition to participate in MCC lmao, I reckon that'd be absolutely sick, but it'll never happen hahaha if I do decide to start streaming, maybe I'll post a blog here, maybe I can talk to some of y'all over discord or through the chat maybe. We'll see!
That's it in terms of the update; I imagine the new codes will be out by Christmas! I'll see if I can do some small ones between now and then though that are Christmas themed because I think that'd be adorable :D
01/11: it is currently 3:05 am and I have just finished revamping the front page and lord knows I am hoping it ain't broke anymore.
since the main problem was the scroll, I decided to get rid of it all together and just make the cover based off of landing pages in web design; which is no scrollies, all the info is right there in front you, nice and easy. It's a big boy, I don't deny it but I think it's kinda nice! and aside from some of my newer stuff, we all know I like coding big stuff :D there are probably some bits here and there that are a bit plain In terms of the background so I may come back to it maybe next week but for now... it'll do. I spent a good 3-4 hours on it and while I know there are improvements that can be made, I just can't do it right now. I probably could have left it until it was 100% complete rather than maybe 95% complete but honestly I just wanted to get the fixed version in asap because I didn't want users to see the broken code since it's ugly.
With the new layout, I've checked it on both my new and my old laptop, I've checked it on my phone. It works and looks as it's supposed too on all screens. As far as I know anyways. I can't be stuffed checking it on my non Mac so I'm hoping real hard that it's working on other brands lmao.
ing phew. amiright?
When it comes to new layouts, I think that what I'm going to do is create them on my new laptop and then I'll create a double on my old so that whatever version works for you, you just use it. It's probably unnecessary and extra work but IDK, I'm ok with doing it for now because I don't know how else to make sure things work properly.
Oh and because of that, I can probably start the new set of codes soon. I'm going to wait until university has finished(1 more assignment to go!) and then I'm gonna spend the month doing them and taking my time uwu
So that is my latest update uwu I will see y'all later!
I’m annoyed. And frustrated. Not at anybody other than Mac. It seems that there has been some sort of change to their operating system that is making coding things kind of difficult; as in, codes are showing up as hella broke on all kinds of devices(including older version of Mac products). I’m going to go back to my old laptop because there weren’t any issues there but for now, the mxgnum dxng gallery is on hiatus cause I’m just
tired and frustrated with it.
So I’m gonna continue to go along as I am but any codes that aren’t for my personal use or that I am not in the process of fixing, will be put on hold indefinitely.
Thank you v much and don’t forget to favourite and comment when using a layout on mine or anybody else’s gallery.
21/10: I really hate that iOS isn't optimised to work with other forms of computer software :( and I hate even more that I have no way of actually telling what layouts are and aren't broke cause it seems to be very random, it doesn't even seem to be a specific computer brand, it's just specific devices.
I mentioned this last post I think but I bought myself a new macbrook pro 2020 and it seems like almost overnight, layouts from other galleries have decided to break :( makes me v sad. I think I'll be putting off making layouts for a little while, partially because of the broke thing, but mostly cause I'm finishing up my semester and I gotta focus on that; one of my classes I'm not doing so hot in and I need to up my game a little bit.
that's my update for now, I'll try figure out how to fix my front page at some point but for now.. yeah idk.
27/09: so after a little bit of deliberating, i ended up re-adding back in tabs for one off profiles and roleplays. mainly because i have a good chunk of muse to code rn but i don't have anything that really belongs into the next two releases i have planned so i figured why not?
i've included a layout that i've had hidden away for a while called 'crystarium' that i made for fun while doing a roleplay revamp on MaleWifey's 'A New Tale' video game rp; it wasn't requested because she already had one in place by another coder but i got inspired lol i don't know how useful it is or will be but it's there!
so my personal life? (wow this is turning into a bit of a diary entry lol) dead, boring.
my current laptop is currently out of commission because my charger decided to up and die which, to be fair, was a long time coming considering i've had both it and the laptop since 2013 and both ends of the rubber cord had come off, exposing all the little wires and bits in it; i've ordered a new charger but it isn't arriving for a little while so right now, i'm using an old mac desktop(it's from like.. 2006-2007?? i think, maybe 2008) and yo, it's so old, i can't update it anymore lol, it's stuck on whatever the desktop ios update was back in like 2012.
what's great is that i can still code, what , is that i don't have access to my pastebin so anything new i might do, is unavailable until i can get the charger in.
umm.. i revamped my freeverse finally? ( https://www.roleplayrepublic.com/roleplay/view_desc/27721/ ) we'll see how that goes but for now that as well as a few privates are really all i've got going on. I took a short break from rpr, like a week, and it was refreshing ngl. i think i'm not going to be joining many rps anymore, i'll end up sticking to my own or privates unless the concept is a+++; there is something i have in the works with some friends of mine so keep an eye out for that.
and.. that's it! that's the update i suppose! um, we'll see how everything goes!
15/09: is this the season for new layouts? because wow! i didn't even notice all the updates until i checked the tab(and here i am, taking the top spot dfghjk) but i've looked at every new layout + the revamp of soonyoungs roleplay and i'm shooketh *^* they're all gorgeous
anywho~ as i posted in the ambrosial index page, i'm keeping a few layouts on private for now while i do some work on them because of private reasons that will be revealed once i'm done, all i can say is that ya girl made a huge whoopsie and i'm furiously working to fix it asap because i ed up. my conscience is admittedly a little relieved that this was an accidental up but it still happened and, if you know me, i'm somebody who owns up my mistakes and works to fix them asap so.. yeah, hopefully i can get this stuff fixed by the end of next week because i have an assignment coming up this week!
i wonder how soon we could get to 300 subscribers? i know this isn't youtube but 300 is the next milestone considering i'm 279 now(wow!). My ultimate goal would be 500, ngl, but I sort of doubt there's 500 people active on this site lol but who knows?
it's been a month since my last update and four days since the release of my latest collection. what's happened in that time?
— i've closed down my requests for now. i don't imagine i'll be wanting to do layout requests until next year at the earliest cause it was fun but.. eh, ya know. you move on.
— i put off the previous collection i was talking about because after taking a short break from it, i ended up disliking/hating most of what i did(there are a few layouts that I like that i just make public for the sake of it) but it's safe to say that that is dead. i know everybody has different needs and wants but honestly? if i wouldn't use these profiles? why should i expect anybody else to use them, ya feel? so.. yup, apart from a few that i genuinely enjoy and like, i'm scrapping them all. sorry not sorry.
— the revamp; it's had the same look and front page since march and i know that people keep their stuff for much longer than what i do but tbh, i'm somebody to likes to hit the refresh button as quickly as the season change and since spring is almost upon us(or at least me), it's time to take inspiration from the season of renewal and rebirth!
— i've already got the name of my next collection picked out, v exciting! but i won't be releasing that until late september / october.
and i suppose that's it in terms of the update? um, i'm still figuring out a colour palette but rn i'm liking earth tones, pinks, etc. so i will probably do something along those lines but who knows, i'm currently shopping around for inspiration!
28/06: my oh my, has been a while since i posted in here and in my song selection. sorry to anybody who thought the 'latest post' was for another layout lol but not to fear! i'm working on it!
i'm caught up and down to my last request which, after talking with the user, is gonna be a fairly hefty project so for now, i'm not going to be accepting anymore requests and after i complete, i probably won't do anymore requests for a while. Why? because I think that I'm starting to sort of refine my style a bit more but I have ideas of either my own, that i've seen from other shops or from just design in general, that I'd like to kind of play with and figure out in my new collection of layouts.
I'm going to be releasing more profiles and layouts for the next round since i focussed on blogs and pm RPing layouts; i have 12!!! layouts planned out. If you want a hint for theme: they're divided into four sections of four ;) 3 profiles + 1 roleplay per four. Some, particularly 1 set of 4 in particular, will be inspired more heavily by various coders on this site and of course, credit where credit is due(not that i'm planning on ripping anybody off lol but I realise that some things may be more clearly inspired by some elements already done than others). I haven't started yet but I will sometime in the next few days which, ofc, is going to be a mistake considering I'm moving again! Woohoo! that'll be the 3 time in 2 years lol one thing i've discovered, I dont have as much stuff to cull and get rid off this time round which is mildly disappointing because i ADORE throwing stuff out lol
04/06: I’m finally properly awake(at 11:40 am) and ok I am never using a muse that I barely know again in my layouts dhdisjsosksks
“babytart 7 hours ago Reply Replies All
i got so confused when i suddenly saw mingyu in the eunwoo filled layout hfhf but all of these are c“
It’s funny but I’m also so embarrassed lmao I guess that’s what you get for not knowing your inspo v well; tbf I only of Eunwoo purely cause he’s the most popular member of ASTRO(? Idek if that’s he griup or nah) or something and he’s pretty lmao oops also google did me so ing dirty, why have other dudes and label it as Eunwoo if it ain’t even him >.> I am angery and grumpy now. Back to using textures, artwork and models from Pinterest lol
03/06: i gave up on that last profile lmao idk what happened but i just could not do it so i ended up turning it into something i'd been wanting to make for a while which was an affiliates page! i miss when rps used to do affiliates cause it was a good way to advertise partner roleplays and just overall promote good ~v i b e s~ ya know?
i'll definitely be making more of them in the future, and that includes blog posts too, cause like i said in my post an hour ago, rpr has a severe lack of alternative layouts such as blogs, announcements, affiliates, etc. I saw that studio premier has an ooc pm rping layout and that's pretty dope so maybe i'll try my hand at doing something like that as well.. but not now, i'm too stuffed lol.
Maybe it can wait until the A/W 2020.5 mini collection? i could release an rp layout, some more blogs, affies and then a pm rping layout or something like that. Ah well! it doesn't need to be decided now! I've got heaps of time lol
i'm gonna leave it at that! and get to one or two replies tonight now :)
03/06: i ended up raising the A/W collection number of layouts from 6 to 7 because i had a sudden strike of inspiration to do a few blog post layouts :) mostly because there is a severe lack of them on rpr, i've found! i think the only other blog post layout i can name is Liliy(Lilies?) from the Giardino shop. It's such a stunning layout, i used it all the time when i was in the first version of Love Shot and i've continued to use it as my personal plots layout because it's so terrifically stylish!
so i have 4 profiles and 2 blogs done, with 1 more profile to go; i've been debating whether or not i want to include a roleplay layout in this collection and i still haven't quite decided yet. I may at a later stage but as of right now, there's no plans too.
Well, i did my little diary entry lol time to go back to this last layout and release this collection; it's a little bit early but i found out my last assignment isn't due for another 2 weeks(i thought it was due this friday!) so i'm taking the week off to code, do replies, consider what i'm doing about my roleplay revamps, etc.
31/05: three out six of the A/W spread are finally complete and i'm so so happy with them, i'm starting work on the fourth now because i'm lowkey panicking about tomorrow(a class i am semi-certain i will fail or come close to failing due to circumstances beyond my control is forcing us to present out work to the entire group and i'm so.. upset? about it? or more i just really don't want too because my groups quality of work is nowhere near as good as other groups for reasons i won't go into) and coding is helping me calm the heck down.
Only one more week to go and my hiatus is officially over! My last assignment for the semester is due this friday and there's quite a bit of work(i'm creating a whole portfolio for a house I'm designing so if I end up liking my content, I may share it here!) to be done so that's also not helping with my stress for tomorrow rip
To celebrate the end of my hiatus, i'll be doing three things:
— releasing the A/W collection
— doing a mass reply spam for all my privates, i'm so excited to get back to some of my roleplays and i gotta make sure i remember to send a big thank you message to all my partners for being patient/understanding for me not responding while i code and release layouts in my downtime from assignment work :)
— hopefully starting work on a brand new roleplay that has a concept that i have never seen done on rpr before, i hope everybody will enjoy it! i definitely will need a co-admin so if you're reading this and you might be interested, post on my wall!
26/05: two more things! i'm gonna introduce a playlist room i think, just post my latest ear worms cause its cute and alongside the archive layout, i'm gonna update the basic room layouts too cause the code is messy as lol
