hi it’s me the R U R’ U’ communist
you ever see a character and are just like “oh, I cannot wait for them to finally have a breakdown.”
like they take everything that’s thrown at them more or less but you know there’s a breaking point. Where Is It. I Must Know.
OP is that a split ortholinear keyboard in wood casing and moss colored keycaps!! i am absolutely boggling my eyedbarls in excitement i have wanted an ortholinear keyboard for ages (purely aesthetic, i like how the keys line up) but never committed and i would love to observe your beautiful Keyed Boared.
You can find the history of that keyboard in the #galena tag on my blog, it's a custom job that's kind of still in progress. I'm currently planning to upgrade it to wireless, switch to low-profile switches, and maybe incorporate some kind of tenting capability.
The case is cut from a block of ironwood by hand and the plate is laser cut brass, the switches are Kailh Box Light Blue which are so very loud and I'm not sure if they're good but they are clicky.
If you have the ability to get laser cut acrylic and optionally metal, key switches, wire, and a microcontroller a custom keyboard is shockingly achievable, the honorable acrylic stackup is a very quick way to make one of these.

were I to create an original piece of media I would create bait so queer in order to create a fanfic environment I like. I find you guys do your best work under duress.
I’d say “jeez can two people not be friends anymore?” and then I’d give one of them amnesia in which they only recognize the other above anyone else
the most important thing is that art is about Freaks. whenever you create a new character or w/e you have to ask yourself if this character is enough of a freak. and if the answer is no you must make them weirder, for whatever definition of weird is compelling to you
I wish chat platforms would collapse faster. it's gonna be an enormous pain when discord inevitably capsizes (as is tradition) and whatever half-functional startup offering comes next has to pass three more ephemeral migration cycles before we figure out which one it even is
that being said it's hilarious that guilded (which was regularly poising itself to swoop in the second discord hemorrhaged badly enough to give it a reliable userbase) got roblox'd and that knocked it out of the running. that was a pretty good plot twst
what does roblox'd mean in this context?
it's roblox now
spending enough time on social media will make you start questioning every sentence you ever post online just in case you accidentally said something that someone could castigate you over. you’ll be saying some normal shit like “yeah jelly donuts are definitely top tier” and then your brain will conjure some guy going “uhhh jelly donuts were literally invented by a guy who defenestrated orphans for fun. and also using the term ‘top tier’ is appropriative” and you wind up rewriting the sentence several times to make sure no one calls you out for being a bigoted abuse apologist over it. and then the post gets 3 notes
reading a fic and they have a canonically repressed character say something directly and proudly
