Lady, EVOLVED @Lady@cat.family

also begging fanfic writers to read every sentence and go “is that right?? or did the LLM in my brain just conjure that?”

there are cases in english where italics ARE necessary or at least beneficial (case in point) but it is not in describing how CUTE somebody was

if you are an author, please, i beg of you, just take like, a year off from italics, and only add them back in once you’re comfortable writing like that

i think they should ban italics on fanfiction sites

they’ve clearly picked what parts of their craft they want to hone and spent many years doing it, having chosen the ones which are most offensive to me personally

this author is very good at writing sentences i hate

if you ever propose to her, be prepared for this

scene: literally a gay wedding

@aescling: hahahaha “take me to church” lol

the whole deal with Venus Xtravaganza definitely hits harder having been on the fediverse in 2017

modern american chivalry (stopping for pedestrians at crosswalks)

@aschmitz oh yeah like a year ago at this point

just got asked to make a vow of undying love and affection but jokes on you i’m a DOG

the power of napping on your girlfriend’s tits…

@aschmitz the tools exist to create fonts for free (and have for a long time), and for people who make fonts regularly, even the expensive software quickly pays for itself. but as with any art, it’s one thing to do it for yourself as a passion project, and another to do it on commission for a customer. font design is very iterative and involves a lot of back-and-forth, and just knowing the number of hours involved in that i would guess you’d need at least four figures for anything like a living wage, for anything beyond just a basic latin set with no adjustments. and i wouldn’t expect designers to have so many clients as to actually book full eight-hour days (which is why they have time for passion projects), so the amount they have to charge to sustain their businesses is probably higher

i would like to hire someone to develop a font for me but i am certain i do not have the money to hire someone to actually develop a font for me

there¦s a lot going on

just read “forces” as “forecs” and spent a long time trying to figure out what that means
