have an excerpt from a current wip of core four at the beach <3

Luckily, Kon doesn’t seem to think anything of it; he just snorts. “Yeah, ‘course, man. And since we’re playing in the water, you’ll need to reapply in two hours. Don’t forget. I mean, you won’t, ‘cuz I’ll remind you, so this is just a heads-up that I will be reminding you in two hours. Got it?”

“I gotta admit,” Tim says, balling his shirt in his hands to cope with how close behind him Kon is standing, “Bart’s kinda got a point. You’re serious about everyone’s sunscreen regimen.”

“You guys are all susceptible to damage from ultraviolet radiation!” Kon huffs. Tim can hear him rubbing his hands together to warm up the sunscreen. “I’m not, ‘cuz Kryptonians have that whole aggressive CRISPR complex thing going on to deal with radiation damage, but you guys don’t have that! Acquired mutations just sit there in your cells and pile up. So excuse me for wanting to make sure you get some protection from that!”

Man.

It’s always hot when Kon starts talking about genetics. He doesn’t even know that he knows way more than the average person, and he’s always so passionate about it, and… man. Tim should say something intelligent about this.

Here goes—

“Yeah, I know you have the CRISPR stuff going on.” Not a bad start, especially given that Kon’s hands have just settled on his shoulders, and they’re warm. His skin is so smooth, so different from Tim’s own calluses. Oh, shit, wait, he’s supposed to be thinking about genetics. “Remember? Hundred failed cloning attempts and all?”  

“Yeah, Rob, kinda hard to forget,” Kon says wryly. His thumbs start rubbing along the sides of Tim’s spine. “Dude, you are so goddamn tense! I need to sit you down for an actual massage at some point. I know you haven’t unclenched since you were, like, twelve, but are you aware that your shoulders are made of, like, literal fucking rocks?”

Tim shrugs, playing it cool to pretend the idea of Kon sitting on his legs and giving him a proper, thorough massage isn’t fucking heavenly. “Well, I haven’t unclenched since age twelve. What did you expect?”

Kon just groans.

the best part about making someone else’s post viral is not having to deal with the notes.

You’re responsible for this heartache, bastard. Are you proud of what you wrought upon me, ya boy?

Trying to come up with costume ideas……..(<- hates it)

I do know the one thing I would absolutely add tho. Which is. (Arrow pointing at Kon’s jacket) “uses TTK to make sure it always looks cool/vaguely flutters in the wind/stays the RIGHT WAY when he’s hanging upside down in le classic spiderpose” :)

Hello! I’m going to teach you how to get whatever cursor you want.

First, figure out what you want as a cursor. I’m going to be changing mine to a Skyrim mouse.

So first you get a picture of whatever you want, as clean as possible:

ALT

Open your favorite art program and clean it up, then save as a png:

ALT

Then go here and convert it to a .cur file. Make sure there’s no gap between the corner of the arrow and the corner of the png.

Next you go to Control Panel:

ALT

Select Mouse from the list:

ALT

Then go to the Pointers tab and pick whichever mouse cursor you want to replace.

ALT

Click “Browse…” and find the .cur file you made earlier:

ALT

And voila! I now have a Skyrim cursor.

You may have to tinker with the size a bit to get the point to be accurate. If that happens, just resize your png and convert to .cur again.

Happy customization!

yo can you make a guide for custom animated cursors too because stuff like the processing cursor and spinning wheel are important to be animated

So, animated cursors are a little trickier because there isn’t a reliable .cur to .ani (animated cursor) converter. You’ll need to download an old program to get what you want.

But it IS possible! And just as customizable.

Part 1

Let’s say I want my mouse to be Furret. First I need a gif with a transparent background.

ALT

(If you want to make your own gif instead, you need a series of .png files, then to upload them on this website here and customize what kind of timing you want.)

This gif is definitely WAY too big to become a proper mouse. So we need to shrink it down. Upload or paste the link in here, then figure out what size you want.

ALT

When you’re ready to test it, go ahead and click “Resize Image!”

ALT

You’ll want to pay attention to that file size there. At MAX, you never want to go over 60KiB.

ALT

So we have our tiny Furret. What now?

You see all those icons underneath the preview?

ALT

You want to click this one.

ALT

Then hit “Split into frames!” here. Don’t worry about the “Split options” box, it won’t really impact the end result for what we’re going for here.

ALT

Ta-da! You now have every frame of your gif ready. Click “Download frames as ZIP, then once you have the Zip file, extract the files into a normal folder.

Part 2

Keep reading

ALT

This is on me for not including. My bad!

So in simple terms, the reason it reverts is because whenever your computer boots up, it tries to pull the cursor you made from its cursor directory. Failing to find one, it’s like "well, guess I’ve gotta use something else” and grabs its default again.

To fix this, you just need to put your .cur or .ani into the file that has all the other cursors in it.

Open your file explorer and go to “This PC.”

ALT

Pick out your local disk drive—it’ll be the one with the memory bar displayed—and go into it.

ALT

Navigate down to the “Windows” file

ALT

Find “Cursors”

ALT

And there you go! This is where you want to save your files to make them permanent.

If you plan on making a lot of cursors, I recommend pinning it to Quick Access with this button:

ALT

This’ll make it pin itself to the sidebar, so you can just drag things over to it instead of having to hunt it down each time.

Have fun!

We really don’t talk enough about the spleen these days. People used to talk about the spleen like it was the king of organs, Shakespeare wrote it verse, these days you’re lucky if someone even knows they have one. Moby Dick opens with Ishmael going to sea to drive off the spleen, what have you done for your spleen lately? I want to be complemented on the splendour of my spleen, just once. I want to taste splenetic delights.
