ElithianFox's Bulletins


I'm drowning in TH codes

Posted 1 year, 17 hours ago by ElithianFox

I've had premium for years but haven't given out any codes in a while, so I'm sitting on 300+ right now. If you or a friend need a code, please reach out! I'd love to offer one. Please don't sell or trade 'em! They're free and given out as a courtesy. 

Major world and lore revamp

Posted 1 year, 21 days ago by ElithianFox

Hey y'all! 

It's been a while, huh? I know I keep saying this, but this time around, I do feel like I wanna come back to my OCs.

Let's face it: most of them built upon 10-15 years of lore that I came up with gradually, most of which isn't all that stellar. In the past, I was too attached to let go of it, so I had to deal with obstacles and weights that slowed me down. Having spent the past three years in fandom, however, I've gotten well accustomed to just throwing everything around and changing everything I know about the world and characters.

Now feels like the ideal moment to completely revamp the world and characters. Everything. Backstories, history, profiles, details, relationships, species relations, everything. 

So I kindly request that whatever you may know about my OCs, you forget it! None of it is canon anymore until I've revised it, and since the new lore is brand new and still needs some time to simmer, I don't know how long it'll take before things are canon again in my profiles. But, that does give me some stuff I'm looking forward to!


How's it been here, you guys?

Back on my bullshit

Heeeey~


So uh

Oops


Three guesses whose greener pastures turned out to be made of lies and the same issues every single online community has?

Long story short, same story as my previous bulletin, except this time, I have accepted and faced that for the past 12 months, I was completely and utterly burnt out on college and in a pretty bad place mentally. Very unhealthy, truly tragic, worst god damned year of my life. It led to me abandoning most of my other hobbies and hyperfocusing on SnK when I should've seen from the start that it was a sinking ship with a trash fandom. The good news is that last week I got really into Promare, left the toxic SnK fandom after the personal drama got too tiresome, and relieved a lot of tension from my IRL, and that has helped me tremendously with getting back into a healthy rhythm. 

It also means I've been thinking about my OCs a lot again, and wow, do I have lots and lots of thoughts about them! As of now, consider all of their profiles outdated and in need of revision. Hopefully, I can get back into the flow and pick up this hobby again. I'm writing this at 4:20 am so I can't think of much to show for… but! I believe my worldbuilding and character crafting have both tremendously improved and it may reflect not only in the way I write my characters, but also in my choices on which information to showcase and which to keep to myself.

Speaking of creativity. Some of you may remember that I once wanted to be a writer, and in a funny turn of events, I did! I started writing SnK fanfic to cope with canon being terrible and wrote about 150k words in the past year. I've got a very long way to go and all of my writings are both a way to express things that are deeply personal and self-indulgent and a way to slowly learn how to write, but if you're curious about how my writing style looks after I kept promising to one day write something and post it here, you can always check out my main fic. It ain't no original story but it certainly was fun.

I think that's all? I need sleep


Also, I will be looking at communications the next few days, if we have outstanding PMs, I'll get to you soon.

So… How's everything been around here?

Well I'm back

Posted 3 years, 9 months ago by ElithianFox

So yeah, SnK new chapter leaks dropped a few minutes ago and I heard it won't be until Monday before we have a typeset so I'm escaping the internet for a while since literally every social media I'm on will be crawling with spoilers. The good news is that this is an OC site and I won't find any spoilers here, not even in the remotest distance! 

I'll be cleaning out my inbox and dusting off some profiles that need it, and hopefully get back into things before this manga devours me whole again.

sorry for being absent

Is Enten better icon material than A

3 Votes Bro no A is where it's at
9 Votes Tree! man! tree! man!

A, darling, I love you so very much but I've been using my Enten icon on various social media for a little while now and he's just so... iconic and recognisable

I love my current icon a lot but I can't decide if I wanna keep it or make the switch to the best face I have ever drawn

New folders!

Posted 4 years, 2 months ago by ElithianFox

Hey y'all!


My folder headers were the first thing I coded back when I was learning how to code, so they were a bit wonky. They didn't work on mobile or on broad screens all that well and didn't look all too visually appealing.

So I've recoded them! I like the new look better and it's mobile friendly. Currently still debating whether I should add a special icon to each folder or only have Directory and the two Worlds be unique. I personally prefer that only the last three are unique, since the other folders are all displayed in full on the page but the last three ones aren't. If every folder has a unique icon, people may not even notice that the last three aren't on the full page, but like this, they stand out and people may click 'em out of sheer curiosity because they may never have seen alternate folder icons used before.

Plus, as a bonus, people may finally look into the Character Directory and the Worlds. That's always a big plus to me!


I'm probably gonna add the code for custom folder icons on Elithian. Still debating how to display it, since the specific hover style doesn't work on character profiles.

Life is pain

Posted 4 years, 2 months ago by ElithianFox

I am so tired of seeing that old HTML for my character profiles from before I knew what coding or even a lick of graphic design were, but I simply have no time nor enough details about some characters to replace the HTML so I'm just here between a rock and a hard place 😭

Currently, I'm in the middle of my finals so I barely have time to even be on TH to do all the changes I wanna do, but I know that once I'm done that drive will soon fade and I'll be bored again. My motivation fluctuates too much to be an OC creator who needs to have them be officiated by my fav code :'D

I'm currently working on Garry but his old personality still mentions Wes being dead, which has been retconned at LEAST two years ago so of course it's gonna be a piece of work to redo

🤔🤔🤔

Would you read worldbuilding stuff?

16 Votes Ya
0 Votes Nah

I think I'll try to upload worldbuilding as literature and see how that works. If I include a decent index at the start, maybe that's the easiest way to display my worldbuilding info? That way, I can also post small worldbuilding facts without having to create a new bulletin or tab for them. I'm writing something small to test this out with, so depending on when that's done I'll see how much I like it!

Y'all
