AVISO: Esto no te afecta si el link de Cappuccicons que tienes es de Dropbox.

Si tu skin tenía el link original de la página de Cappuccicons (cpf), es posible que no puedas acceder a tu foro y seas redireccionado a una página maliciosa. La mayoría de mis skins fueron actualizados tras la caída, pero aquellos que no lo han actualizado, pasamos nuevo link por aquí cuando ocurrió. Recuerda que si eres admin, puedes acceder directamente al PA usando /admin al final de tu foro; también puedes desactivar brevemente los JS en chrome://settings/content/javascript y así poder ingresar en el foro sin verte afectado por la redirección. Puedes informarte más al respecto aquí.

─ .✦ If your villain monologues for more than two paragraphs, your hero should've escaped by now or at least checked their phone. Real people don't wait politely for evil speeches to finish. They interrupt, get bored and say things like "okay but can you get to the point I have dinner plans."

─ .✦ Stop having your characters look in mirrors to describe themselves. Your protagonist doesn't wake up and think "I looked at my reflection and saw my shoulder-length auburn hair and piercing green eyes." They think "ugh I look like death" and move on. Find literally ANY other way.

─ .✦ If every sentence in your action scene is the same length it reads like a grocery list with violence. Short punchy sentences for fast moments. Longer flowing ones when they catch their breath and realize oh god that hurt. Variety is your friend and so is rhythm.

Voir qu’en 2026 des gens se sentent encore assez puissants cachés derrière leurs écrans en anonyme pour attaquer quelqu’un (pas moi) verbalement me dégoûte.

En 2021, j’ai arrêté le rpg pour ce genre de personne. Mais les impacts ont été bien au delà de mon envie d’écrire. Isolation sociale, trust issues, anxiété, crises de larmes, et je n’en cite qu’une partie.

Tout ça, j’espère que quand vous écrivez vos messages de haine gratuite (je peine à croire que ça vous apporte quoique ce soit, sauf si ça vous aide à dormir ?), vous avez bien conscience de ce que vous êtes en train de déclencher possiblement chez des personnes fragiles (voire même chez des personnes fortes mentalement).

Les mots font parfois autant de dégâts que les coups.

Venez on apprend le respect un peu dans le rpg ?

@ font-space { font-family:"name"; src:url('URL HERE'); } REMOVE THE SPACE BETWEEN @ AND FONT.

find fonts that are free for personal use. (if you plan on selling themes, find fonts that are free for commercial use.) i like fontesk.

upload your font to dropbox.

you will get a url that looks like this: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/seb9qr71dxioisgmhuhhd/Glonto-Regular.otf?rlkey=oo73t4wk3xdxf2o4yxvnv13y4&st=n1spcyjz&dl=0

change it to look like this: https://dl.dropbox.com/scl/fi/seb9qr71dxioisgmhuhhd/Glonto-Regular.otf?rlkey=oo73t4wk3xdxf2o4yxvnv13y4&st=n1spcyjz&dl=1

so hypothetically, it would look like this:

reply formatter mobile edition:

i’ve been trying to figure out a way to adjust the roleplay formatter to be used on mobile but unfortunately tumblr just does not render blog themes well on mobile browsers (my guess is to force people to use the app but i digress)

so i made a mobile friendly version with carrd. the only differences are the box size option and the night mode toggle, which the carrd version doesn’t have.

if you don’t use either of these you can use the carrd version on desktop as well, everything else is the same. for the purpose of this tutorial i’ll be using the carrd version as it is optimized for mobile screens.

if you can consider tipping my ko-fi or using my carrd referral code ( DPY34V1H ) to help me keep hosting the formatter ♡

this is a very easy level tutorial

even if you’re not comfortable with html!

this post may be long because of the screencaps, but the method itself is only a handful of clicks and it shouldn’t take you more than a minute.

this method technically works on any browser, but it works best on firefox as it is the only browser i’ve tested that keeps all formatting (bold, italics, color text, etc).

i encourage you to install firefox on your phone to at least cut replies, you could technically use the tumblr app to write and format your reply once you get the code of the trimmed reblog.

what you will need:

a mobile browser (can’t stress this enough i strongly suggest firefox, specially if you don’t want to have to manually add your partner’s formatting. it will make your life easier)

the mobile friendly reply formatter.

that’s it.

tutorial:

He visto por ahí que ha habido problemas de nuevo con los códigos html de algún diseñador. No quiero entrar en detalles de lo sucedido porque ese no es el asunto a tratar, pero me ha llamado la atención una encuesta de un tumblr y los resultados.

¿Nosotros qué somos? ¿A qué vamos a los foros? Somos rolers, somos escritores. Vamos a los foros a escribir, a rolear, a contar nuestras historias. ¿Necesitamos para eso una súper skin vistosa? En mi más sincera opinión después de llevar años en este mundo, no.

Los foros de escritura son precisamente para escribir, punto. ¿Qué importa si tienen una skin de última generación o es una sencilla de las que ofrece foroactivo? No deberíamos fijarnos en eso a la hora de escoger un foro, sino en la historia, la ambientación.

¿Qué tener una skin bonita lo hace todo más vistoso? Sí, es cierto, lo bonito siempre atrae como la luz a las luciérnagas o la miel a las moscas, pero la estética tendría que ser secundaria a la hora de decidir unirte a una comunidad.

Hace 10 años nadie miraba la skin. Nadie se fijaba en si era clara u oscura, si tenia cb o dd, si era así o asá. Hace 10 años te leías la historia y la ambientación y si te gustaba entrabas y punto. Hace 10 años no existía el mercado de los diseños porque al final, eso es en lo que se ha convertido, en un mercado más.

Ahora parece que si no tienes una skin de último modelo, tu foro no va a llegar a ningún lado. Mentira. He visto foros con skins súper chulas que no han llegado a nada, que no han llegado ni a despegar o han muerto a los pocos meses de abrir. Eso, desde mi punto de vista es dinero tirado a la basura porque igual, en vez de invertir en una skin, podíais haber invertido en hacer mejor la historia, en crear una ambientación atractiva, en vender bien el foro por tumblr o donde sea, en formar una base sólida para el foro y hacerlo atractivo en cuestión de escritura...

Quiero aclarar que no tengo nada en contra de los diseñadores, sé muy bien que sin ellos estaríamos perdidos cuando tuviéramos problemas con los códigos por andar tocando lo que no sabemos. Cada uno hace con su trabajo lo que quiere y como quiere.

Lo que quiero reivindicar es que hace 10 años, cuando el mundo del rol era del rol y se centraba simplemente en escribir y compartir tus historias con los demás, estos problemas no existían.

¿Por qué no podemos centrarnos simplemente en escribir y ya?

Espero vuestras opiniones.

you'll need to use the stylus extension (chrome, firefox, opera, github), on mobile you can use this extension on firefox (extensions are not available on ios afaik)

create a style:

set it to work on all sites under the tumblr domain:

copy paste this code:

.GzjsW .CQmeg.lN9Zs.T94I2 > button:after, .GzjsW .CQmeg.lN9Zs.T94I2 > div > button:after, .GzjsW .CQmeg.lN9Zs.T94I2 > figure > div:after { border: none;}

that should be it, now transparent images should no longer have the ugly border.

however, please note that:

this does not remove the rounded border from solid images

this does not remove the color of the post background changing on hover.

this may stop working if tumblr changes things in the future. please don't send me abusive messages about it.

very quick edit:

i figured out how to stop the hovering change in bg color

add this to the same style:

Cuando eres adolescente o un joven adulto donde tus únicas preocupaciones son estudiar, salir con los amigos, divertirte y todo eso, siempre hay sitio para el rol. Pero los años no pasan en balde y según vamos adquiriendo responsabilidades de persona adulta... la cosa se pone complicada.

Que si trabaja, estudia, cuida la casa, haz la compra, paga gastos, saca al perro, cuida de los niños... La vida es así y sí, siempre se consigue tener un rato libre, un momento de descanso, unas horas de desconexión, pero igual ese día te apetece ver una serie en vez de escribir o salir a dar una vuelta para desconectar, leer, quedar con los amigos y socializar...

No tiene nada de malo dedicar tu tiempo a otras cosas que no sean escribir y que te llenen de la misma forma que el rol. Y es cierto que cuanto mayores somos, menos tiempo le dedicamos a esto porque al fin y al cabo, se trata de eso, del tiempo.

"is it rude if I politely ask a writer if they use ai or chatgpt on their works because I'm almost certain they do?"

yes, it is rude. no matter how polite you are being when you ask them this.

you say you are almost certain. so you are not absolutely certain.

unless you are absolutely, undoubtedly certain — with actual proof — that their writing is ai generated, never ever ask an artist if their work is ai generated.

I know several writers who would stop writing and delete all of their works if they were ever accused of using ai. so it doesn't matter if you are polite when you ask them this, you are suggesting that their works are ai generated, that they didn't create the works they could have spent hours, days, weeks, months or years working on.

ai and chatgpt are trained on real humans' works, they are trained to mimic the way real humans write. so if you say a genuine writer's work "looks ai", I'm gonna have to ask you what you think ai was trained on.

a writer whose English isn't their first language may also write in a way that "looks ai" to some, if they write in English and have to rely on translator.

using em dash isn't a sign of ai. I do it all the time. my fellow writers all love em dash.

having long paragraphs with "overly described scenes" isn't a sign of ai. I do it all the time, and so do my fellow writers.

all the "ai signs" are actually just what most writers actually do. they get mistaken for "ai signs" because sometimes the way writers write or describe a scene in a fanfic or an original work is different than the way people talk or text. because they're writing a fic and describing a scene, not chatting with a friend. the way I talk is different than the way I write my fics.

if you suspect a work was ai generated, but are not 100% sure, you can always just stop reading said work without saying anything.

if someone does use ai to write, they will either a.) deny and continue using ai to write or b.) admit because they see nothing wrong with it and continue using ai to write.

if a genuine writer was wrongly accused of using ai, they may stop writing altogether.

asking a writer if they use ai or chatgpt to write will always do more harm than good. witch hunting will always do more harm than good.

it’s not “hey do you like x or y” question. it’s a subtle implication that your work looks like it was written by a robot within a minute. if you personally don’t find that offensive, that’s cool. but I know a lot of writers do. and they have the rights to be discouraged by it.

Asking a writer or artist if they “use AI” is an accusation, no matter how you dress it up. It’s not neutral. It implies you think their effort, style, or voice is artificial. It implies that their human work doesn’t look human enough for you.

You don’t protect the community by policing people who are actually creating from scratch. You protect it by supporting human creators, reporting confirmed AI misuse when there’s evidence, and learning the difference between this sounds different than what I’d write and this is machine-generated.

Writers—especially fanfic authors—already pour their time, emotion, and identity into what they share for free. They don’t owe anyone proof of authenticity on top of that. And if your question makes someone want to quit writing, it’s not protecting the community. It’s shrinking it.

"this fic has long paragraphs with overly described details and scenes, so it must be ai-generated" real humans can write like this.

"this fic has inconsistencies, so it must be ai-generated" real humans make errors and mistakes. that's why we have this thing called plot holes. sometimes writers are tired and they don't remember what they wrote in the last sentences or paragraphs, let alone chapters.

"this fic sounds robotic and unnatural, so it must be ai-generated" not every writer writes in their native language. sometimes they can sound 'robotic and unnatural' if they wrote in their second or third or fourth language (and kudos to them).

"this fic has a prompt left in it that the author forgot to delete, so it must be ai-generated" the 'prompt' the author accidentally left in their fic could actually be a part of an outline that was meant only for them, so they could keep track of what they would write.

"this author posts too often, no human writes this fast, so they must use ai" 1.) you don't know how fast someone can or can't write, how much time a person has in a day or how motivated/skilled they are. 2.) the frequent updates you see could be something that has already been finished and sitting in the author's drafts for god knows how long. just because it's recently posted doesn't always mean it's recently written.

a reminder that ao3 was created as an archive. not a social media.

ao3 is run on fans’ donations. it’s a nonprofit organization, run by fans, for fans. it has no ads. no capitalism or algorithm bullshit.

ao3 allows works that depict all kind of taboo, morally questionable, disgusting, socially unacceptable subjects, no matter how graphic, how explicit it is being portrayed (that’s what tags, warnings and ratings are for!).
