I love the concept! I think it's SO CLOSE to being purely fantastic, but the sagging/draping through the belly just… does not work for me. But the rest of the dress is fantastic and the conceit is extremely cool and, yes, she is smoking fucking hot in this dress even if I don't think it 100% works!

the hilarious thing is that I posted a whole tutorial on how to hack an S2 LJ style into working on DW's system back in very early beta before we had any actual styles and yet I refuse to touch it. it's not that I *couldn't* conquer it, it's just not worth the effort for me lol.

I mean, I've noped out of beating my head against a couple times, but: hey @momijizukamori.bsky.social and @rahaeli.bsky.social how bad IS S2?

(and by S2, we mean LJ's S2, because that's the only style scheme DW has ever had, BUT ANYWAY.)

(my feelings on actual programming--as opposed to, like, descriptive shit like HTML--since I was 15 years old and my father insisted on getting me through the basics of C++ are 'okay I could be good at that, but actually I don't enjoy it, so: no.')

oooh, this explains the chatter on Discord more than I had previously understood! (I am a DW vol and I actually even have a contributor thingy on file from fixing an image thing on the site scheme a VERY long time ago, but I am not and have never been a dev, heh.)

yeah, that's my feeling. like, conceptually, I love it? but it is sagging/drapes poorly over the belly and just... doesn't actually work.

I mean that is true! Cis gender can also be very expensive especially when you're very insecure about your cis gender.

I didn't actually know that, but I'm not surprised even a little either. It's <s>turtles</s> batshit terrible humans all the way down, sigh.

Most people don't! And a lot of folks who do, it's very abstract and over there and it's more like someone referencing Manson, to them, as opposed to it being something very real and viscerally immediate. I do know why people don't know or don't flinch the way I do, but god it makes me tired. :/

now as an adult I've very little fucking patience for Tommy Burks' Southern Democrat politics, but the man who murdered him was an even more terrible human being and I fucking hate being reminded of him every goddamn time internet fuckshittery comes up.

I grew up in Tommy Burks' district. I remember the write-in campaign to elect his widow Charlotte because they couldn't get his fucking murderer off the goddamn ballot. I fucking flinch because that username is not *abstract* gross edginess to me; Kyanka took the chosen name of an unhinged murderer.
