♫ - What I’m currently listening to.
So, I’m aware this isn’t a personal blog, and I don’t exactly want to make it one of those, but I need to vent a bit, my friends have a lot going on in their lives that what I’m about to complain about will seem like small potatoes, and I don’t have any other social media. So, this Undertale Tumblr blog will just have to do.
For the last month and a half I’ve been attempting to get a business off the ground. I have all the documentations and legal whatnots, but what’s been holding me back is the flipping website. Maybe I’m cheap, maybe I’m just too prideful, but I decided I would build the site myself completely by scratch with zero knowledge of HTML, or CSS, or any of that. I’ve managed it. The little creative spirit in me picked up the basics after many hours of trial and error (now ask me to solve a simple math equation and you’ll see how intellectually inept I am). Amazing news, right? This website had its foot on my neck for weeks now, and this morning I was finally victorious!
Until I wasn’t.
I sent the site to my friend to test, and on mobile whenever you scrolled down it would zoom the page way out into the void. I thought I’d put back on my handy dandy hard hat and make a simple tweak here, and little change there—I fucked the whole thing up beyond repair, and I didn’t make a proper backup of the site, so now I need to start from scratch!
Well, not completely, but all the fancy code I added needs to be redone, and to be frank, um no. Not doing that shit again, so I’m just gonna have a basic ass website and call it day for now because the longer it’s taking me to mess with this thing, the longer I’m not launching my business. The little procrastinating, self-doubting, coward in me is super happy that I now have an excuse not to move forward and do this thing. Too bad since I spent too much money to just quit now.
All that said, I’ve been missing Discord lately. I’m currently only in one server, but I’d love to join another one, preferably something small and fandom focused. I’m fine with any of the fandoms I have written for (so far Undertale, Sonic, and TMNT, but you can add in ATLA too. Plus, I like some “adult” shows—whatever the fuck that means. Actually, I don’t watch much television, so that is a lie).
If anyone wants to send some servers my way I’d love that a bunch! I used to run several Discord servers back during lockdown, and I definitely do not want to do that again. Too much work that I currently can’t keep up with, but having a chill place to discuss fandom stuff, or creative projects, or fucked up websites that break on you when you change one line of code, is something I’ve been craving lately.
