Hey, want to join my gay hivemind?
So I've been picking and poking at this for a bit and I'm officially stumped!

I want to make an interactive map, and all the pieces are where they need to go and it works mechanically, but I can't seem to get the text to sit within the boxes that pop up!

Ideally I would like for the information to pop up in a box that's black with a lower opacity and white text, something sleek, but I've only managed to make it clunky and kooky looking, the text is all out of whack and I've run out of ideas to fix it!

fairfarren.jcink.net/index.php?act=Pages&pid=2
^The page itself!

I think I've coded myself into a corner because I can't seem to effectively alter the text boxes at all? I'd really appreciate someone rescuing me from myself LOL!


And the entire code block

Many who come to this place from the Starfall Shores inevitably opt to stay far beyond their initial adjustment period. This city is the true melting pot of Halcyon, boasting an incredibly varied and diverse population both human and non-human alike.</p>

The lake is a favorite destination throughout the entire year, from the warm months of swimming and sailing, to the cold ice skating competitions, Sanctuary is a favored travel destination for all of Halcyon. </p>

I would absolutely foam at the mouth for:

- A post series Owl House roleplay, the world that the end of the series set up is super interesting and it could make for such a fun magical school setting!

- A site based in Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland, no idea how it would work, but I found all the politics and history between the Red and White queen interesting, and there's A LOT of time sort of left open in that world that could be played with, maybe not with the exact 1:1 canon characters(and illustrated faces instead), but the same setting for sure

Bless I feel a lot less weird about it reading that, I didn't think it was all that weird, but then I second guessed myself, but you make very solid points and my worries have been assuaged haha!

Short and sweet dilemma I'm having here lol, I'm doing the solo-admin thing right now, which isn't a big deal because it's a small site, but how do you handle your own apps when you have to sort and approve them?

It feels slimy to approve my own apps but I also might be overthinking it and it's just not a big deal to most people

I'm curious how other people have handled this!

"Not to be a wet blanket" *proceeds to be the wettest blanket*

Don't lie, you love to be a wet blanket, you LAVISH in the superiority you feel by being a wet blanket. And on top of that you're dead ass wrong. Embarrassing.

(unrelated to anything RP related FYI)

I'm still thinking about the one time I saw someone call Proboards as a host "fascist" a while back and like can we please not water down extremely serious words like that by using them on a forum host because I don't think you know what that word means. Proboards is definitely not perfect for a lot of reasons but FASCIST?!

I'M STILL SCREAMING OVER THAT LMFAOOO

I'll have to give Lovelorn another peak over actually, I wasn't super keen on the soulmates concept but I really like how it sounds like you have it set up! I'm not too worried about not having any cast mates, it's honestly much less stressful since I've only experienced League through Arcane, so that's not a huge deterrent either!

Thank you for the post though, I'll give Lovelorn a look for sure!

Hey, want to join my gay hivemind?
I'm really itching to throw some characters way outside of their comfort zone, so I'm looking for a panfandom to come and stink up with my lame ass self!

I'm only really interested in writing Viktor or Silco from Arcane(who never interact so should pass most rules? But if not it's NBD!), Viktor especially, so if he's available then bonus points(also assuming no one will yell at me if I almost exclusively play his Arcane iteration because I know very little about LoL)

Uhm what else, relaxed activity, I don't mind activity checks but I'd rather they not be super severe? Maybe an easier application process? The amount of imaged needed doesn't matter because neither character has a shortage of images to use.

I would love if the lore was maybe on the lighter side? OR if there's a lot of lore, then I'd prefer if it was broken up into what's absolutely necessary to get started, I can read the rest on my own time but I don't want to lose steam halfway through

A fairly easy to integrate into Discord? I might not always be the most chatty cathy in general but I would love for that not to hinder me being able to plot with people!

That's about it I think? I'm open for any genre, I'm open for a "spirits" type of deal but only if I can still use the character's canon animated face? But I'm totally down for "character has no memories and I'm adapting them into that world as though they've always been there"

Non-panfandoms would also be acceptable provided maybe I could base some bits and pieces of a character off of one of them while using their face(while otherwise making them a new OC), I'm good at adapting characters to fit literally anything so like...Open to that as well?

IDK this is all over the place, I'm just desperate for somewhere to write my shitty wet sock men!

slice-of-life/sandbox illustrated panfandom set in nyc. no fancy plot, just a good old fashioned your character wakes up in manhattan and can't leave the island. maybe some seasonal events, but overall just a member driven place to play various canons in a setting with a low barrier of entry/not a lot of lore to read up.

probably some sort of power-scaling system where characters need to earn their powers just to allow room for more op characters.
Please because I want to write a few canons but I just don't have the spoons for the amount of lore most of the current ones have @@
