Monthly Projects: June 2026
This month was mostly one big thing which left me exhausted to do other biggish things. Or so I think. Lots of community involvement this month as well. Not much in the way of blog but what I wrote, I enjoyed a lot.
Web Weaving ( earliest -> latest)
- Markdown tables
- No link for this one. Essentially, I out my sights on migrating some databases out of Notion such as my gaming log and watch log. I did some testing where I converted the databases I got as an export into clean HTML tables and Markdown tables respectively. I managed to post one of the Markdown tables on bearblog and it looks surprisingly well, holy shit! Not sure what I'll do with this knowledge. Whether to share these logs as HTML or Markdown tables. Genuinely open to suggestions.
- Pretty Feed.xsl (on hold)
- I started adding this "skin" to my feed but got stuck on the style part. It's neither here not there so I don't know if I'll take this on again.
- Projects page (main site, 18+ site)
- These pages has been on the works for a gooood while. On both sites, I've got some fic prompts that are free to use as well as several placeholders for future additions.
- Stories (Template)
- This is where the bulk of my time and energy went this month. I found this amazing template by 44 by 50 on neocities. And remade it to my liking, adding some semantic tags and improving mobile responsiveness. The original template uses Javascript for the menus and I haven't tried another option yet. That's why I haven't shared the link around my socials. Sharing the link to the repo.
- Stories section (18+ site)
- After creating a template that suited my tastes, I got to work on the actual pages. My god, this was exhausting. I was really pretty tired on working on the template so I kind of went back and forth between the template and the site version.
- I consider this update the ground work for the rest of the pages I want to add. Might work on this section for the rest of the year. After a good long rest.
- Graphics Hoard page (main site)
- After posting the Stories section for my 18+ site, I didn't have the energy to put on another multiple page update. This idea had been on my mind since February apparently so I finally decided to get to it. Tipping my hat to all graphic hoard maintainers, this took so much time to set up. Brings me so much joy to look at it though. Compared to the rest of my site, this page was pure self-indulgence.
Writing (earliest -> latest)
- Media Review: Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld
- Finally a Het Couple I can Deal with (ft. Keima and Chika) (18+ blog)
- SSMY Anime Episode 8, The KGHR Crumbs
- Leftover from the blog migration.
Community
- Songs of Joy and Resistance (Pride event)
- I sort of hosted a low effort pride event over at Pillowfort. I invited folks to share songs that related to their or their OCs queer experiences. I posted three (one, two) songs and someone else joined! It made me so happy. I might do more of these. It sure helps stave of boredom. Gonna have to archive those posts on my site. Yay work (sarcasm).
- Ina11 International Pride Prompt-a-thon (Creation Period and First Check in)
- Prompts for the event are out! There's at least two people interested, yay! I haven't use any of the prompts. Think I should.
- Whump Pillowfort Community
- Found this comm and joined. Kind of interested in the concept. Seen it around but never paid attention to it till now. I want to write more drabbles.
- /Subscriptions (WIP)
- A modified version of Navi's /follows I started on a previous microblog. Just finished the draft I think. I thought I was going to add everyone I know but some of them I follow for more... gestures vaguely. Maybe I'll change it to /circle instead.
- Questions
- Found OC Mondays on Pillowfort was an actual set of prompts anyone can use.
So yeah, I think that's it for this month! I'm really proud of the media review as I don't often write in such a structured way.
