Y’all, I tested my mic today so here’s a draft of a book I’ll read on monday! (yes, it’s in french)

One of them will have to get finished eventually, right???

hey guys. it’s me. the cravat brush person.

here’s a link to all of my ace attorney-themed brushes, and this is what they look like (minus soggy spin which is just the soggy brush but more unpredictable)

-they are procreate brushes so the files may not export to other programs (in which case you’ll have to look up how to make custom brushes and recreate these yourself, but at that point you could just make Any kind of custom brush lol)

-i’m not going to tell you what you can and can’t do with the brushes but I personally only use these for lines/doodles. the soggy brush was created with the intent to be used for blocking in colors but you can see that it makes a neat substitute for like. a chalk brush texture when it’s really small

-pollo and cravat are great for textured rendering (the phoenix brush probably is too bc it’s like a marker but I haven’t used it for that yet)

-feel free to edit the settings for the brushes :) have fun!

“My complete set of angel designs based on emoji mashups. What emotion does this invoke...?”

Somehow that post inspired me and I did some weird stuff??

Writing Accessibility PSA

Please avoid using long strings of characters as line breaks in your writing - these are not screen reader/TTS friendly!

Every ‘°’ will be read as ‘degree’ - can you imagine how long it takes to read out a string of 25? Let alone more complicated combinations of characters (eg. imagine listening to TTS read out ~*~ |°| ~*~ multiple times per line break)?

A good rule of thumb is to stick with short, 2-3 character line breaks (eg. I don’t find — or *** too egregious to listen to). Your readers can tell there’s been a scene change whether you use two or twenty em-dashes, but if you use twenty, some of us might have to listen for 30 seconds to read the next scene. If you’re more concerned about aesthetics, you can insert an image of your aesthetically pleasing line break with alt text simply reading ‘line break’ for accessibility.

Don’t feel bad if this is something you’ve never thought about before - now you know better and can make your writing more accessible moving forward!

I would like to invite any other screenreader users to add their own thoughts or preferences to this post. We’re not a monolith and there’s a variety to how different softwares interact with repeating character strings and images with alt text, so there’s bound to be some conflicting opinions on what I’ve suggested above. Let’s try to make the stories we share accessible for everyone :]

writer survey question time:

inspired by seeing screencaps where the software is offering (terrible) style advice because I haven't used a software that has a grammar checker for my stories in like a decade

if you use multiple applications, pick the one you use most often.

tag your results!

If anyone else wants me to read a short text just go in the ask (or through my Ko-fi). I can read in French and English and won’t mind trying Spanish or Norwegian.
