THANK YOU... i'm glad... i need to crosspost things to random defunct forums for ppl to look at more often. i'm glad that now i've finally realized i can just convert things into html to easily plop into th worlds but there is more potential yet. so many things to expose people to. infodumps... orchid getting trapped in a mcdonalds playplace... geminorum... proboards is the lifeblood of the internet because it provides so much potential to spam into the void. also toyhouse's time-out thing has proven to be my enemy many a time so i feel this struggle.
@ cusps: yw cusps are such a cool concept and i knew when i started this setting i wanted to find some way to include them!! figuring out exactly what to do with them was a bit tricky and i wasn't initially satisfied with making it so only adjacent zodiacs could bone, but i think i'm happy with how they work now! big time one of the pages that need a re-work the most esp since i've changed my ideas a little bit for some of them and definitely refined a lot, but i'm glad you like them!! esp librios i am flattered 🥺 a big plan is that once nano is over/i shrug and decide to be done with it i want to make some like shitty doodley refs of all of the zodiacs to put on their pages, so look forward to that...!! and hell yeah i love angely little guys. just cant go wrong with 'em and as soon as i saw some random website list exactly 15 of them as being notable and several other random websites list associate 12 within that specific group with zodiac signs... it was all over. mine now. siderea time.
@ naprowrimo: NICE i love to spread the word of naprowrimo and other alt challenges... i love reading bios and encouraging people to write so just according to keikaku. Â also i remember i tried doing rss feed stuff the second i saw you first mention it bc i was like hell yeah website updates and given the sheer number of notifs i always have on toyhouse it seems like a good way to be able to keep up with things!! i've seen some other things that mention rss feeds now and then that seem handy too but every time i click on stuff i always get a page like this and i'm always like is this an error......?? is it intentional.....?? is it some kind of weird conflict with firefox add-ons or do i need to add things to... something....... ?? one of these days i will simply just google rss feed lore and understand how they work. old enough to be aware of rss feeds too old to understand technology
also dw i have a severe allergy to browing the internet on mobile. i never rly think abt mobile friendliness myself when making things because of this even though phone browsing is what's hip with the kids but i am obsessed with large amounts of info on the screen at once. i see tiny screen and break out into hives. i am the last person who will judge.
@ magic: THANKS i love trying to figure out how to explain things like that and unite my settings even if i don't get too granular about it! magic and souls and things like that are always especially fun to think about! as for corruption, prima materia corruption is definitely the most common of the bunch if only due to being a more common substance to find raw throughout Entirety and being the most finicky/least predictable substance! you're basically performing gen 1 arbitrary code execution every time you use it and it's very easy to mess up a stat and corrupt your data! although actually i feel like writing game code with the game itself is more anima mundi. and prima materia is more like using a gameshark...? im gonna need to work on my pokemon analogies.
ANYWAY the ease of corruption varies a lot depending on the type and the setting! it's common enough on siderea for it to be part of standard learning when it comes to magic just due to the sheer amount of raw prima materia/anima mundi you can find out there on the planet and the nature of siderean monsters, for example, but a lot rarer in other settings. i think outside of siderea it's probably most common on holann - rpg hell's world - which has a similar sort of thing going on where there's a lot of raw soul juice everywhere but this time everyone has comparatively garbage magical circuits. a wee bit of a recipe for disaster. top 5 settings i wanna work on worlds for also at some point it's a wack place
@ sorter: OH SICK i will absolutely have to do this someday. looking forward to more lil faces!! and yeah lmao i have a zillion ocs and siderea has been rapidly accelerating that. love that for it. big reason i want to get to making bios since i feel like my toyhouse barely has anything on it!! and yeah ophius being named ophius is like. SUPER extremely recent, i've been kicking around the idea of changing their name for years and only finally committed when making the world here since i didn't want to get even more people used to the name serpentarius only to change it later! so basically every resource that isn't freshly made is gonna be awkwardly outdated in that respect until i go back through stuff to add crosslinking and whatnot after nano!
(tl;dr all of the gods' names are based on the genitive cases for their respective constellations, but ophiuchus' is just the plural for the species so instead of tweaking the name slightly like i did for a couple others i for some reason just went with the archaic name serpentarius. which sounds sick and i like it a lot but i got increasingly bothered over the years that their name was the only one that didn't "match" their zodiac but they'd been around for so long that i felt like i couldn't change it but then i was just like fuck it. changes name of well-established oc who's had the same name for 4 years hehe)
@ stories and stuff: I AM ALSO EXCITED, i finished tau the other day (i didn't have any exciting commentary this time but it owned, v cool and atmospheric) and was hoping to start/finish alpha before nano but then the work week happened and i have basically spent the entire week asleep. rip. i am So ready though. also i've been hoarding bulletins as well and tend to click links whenever i perceive them so luckily i've been able to keep up on a lot of website stuff as well!
@ website: ngl i am tempted sometimes, i remember browsing the forums a couple months ago and seeing there's a whole-ass neocities thread, it's so incredibly cool that ppl making their own little websites about whatever is becoming increasingly accessible and coming back into vogue! i appreciate the offer but i dunno if i'll ever end up doing so just because i'm lazy and have been pretty content with the framework that forums/toyhouse/miraheze offers even if it means my content is obnoxiously scattered (though now knowing i can convert bbcode into html painlessly i will ideally have a lot more info consolidated onto here)! numbers website slaps so much though i'm so glad for it
@ leiras: YEAH she is just a funny story in general. the tl;dr here is that sariel is the name of one of @Exuro's ocs, the envy underking of hell college, who has existed for like. 7-8 years now? at some point or another because exuro is a legend he decided to retcon her into being a siderea fan-character esp once libras and eclipsing got a little more defined. i then decided to make an oc named sariel who was an ancient scorpio that sariel the xuronut (who now had the true name:tm: of graffias) eclipsed and stole the name/face of for funsies. eventually this information got revealed in-universe in such a fashion that it became apparent that sariel the isonut is still conscious in there and just chilling, so now there were two ocs named sariel on main and this reasonably caused name confusion. ppl defaulted to calling sariel the xuronut graffias and we were like WAIT NO bc her name's been sariel to us for so long that not calling her sariel feels weird, but trying to make the names sariel and og!sariel was just confusing people so i was like yknow what im gonna start calling my sariel leiras and say leiras also does this herself because she can't help but respect getting ratatouille'd out of her identity. as happens in life sometimes.
all of this is to say that on siderea pages i'll probably mostly use the names graffias and sariel since both of them are known names on siderea, but then there'll also probably be other places where i use sariel and leiras respectively instead and SURELY this won't get confusing at all
that description of geminorum's abode is beautiful.
OKAY SO FOR RSS FEEDS that page is correct but you need a tool called an rss feed reader to actually like. read them in a nice way basically. i use one called "quiterss". they aggregate rss feeds for you and can give you little notifs whenever they update! and look nicer and actually readable. you just feed the url into the reader and voila
YOU ARE VALID re: mobile compatibility. thankfully most html is compatible by default its just when you try to do fancy things it can get messed up. i try to keep it in mind though because lun uses a phone primarily/doesnt have a compy  so i want her to be able to reference things easily
THE CODE ANALOGIES ARE SO COOL i love it. honestly i conceptualize numbers reality warping as adjusting the world's css so like. coding analogies are. so good.
CHANGING THE NAME MAKES SENSE i like ophius better tbh it's easier to remember and sounds. like the zodiac and matches more yeah. it's good. little snakey
I FINISHED SIGMA TODAY so you'll be caught up on TPOT Soon. i'm glad you liked tau also i Love isiell with my whole damn heart he is baby.
and YEAH no worries about the site stuff. i always like to offer in case someone's interested but hasnt taken the plunge but it is also. a big commitment and if th worlds work then don't fix what aint broke lmao.Â
i fucking love the absolute density of the lore for that name. that's proper oc making right there. chef's kiss. the single biggest paragraph in your entire post dedicated to explaining the lore behind someone's name. i literally love it so much despite not being in the rp group or having any familiarity with the characters at all its just GREAT okay yes. I WILL KEEP IT IN MIND WHEN I READ THOSE PAGES!!!
