Purchasing a paid ad for Fukai Mori!
I'd like to apply the new site discount to this. We're just phasing out of beta and opening to the public now. <3

Here is the image:

Description:

Fukai Mori is a high fantasy, original role play experience, inspired by feudal Japan. The world is plagued by the prospect of magical warfare and the constant struggle to assert dominance over the land.

absolutely any time i take an mbti i get infp -t. gonna go join the rest of the infp kids ig

(i feel like i lean more towards ambivert than introvert but that's not an option)

i have one wish and one wish only for discord

let me block certain emojis so i never have to view their ugly miserable existence again

i bought a subscription for adobe pretty much for the webfonts and you better BET i am using them as much as possible!!! ur site has its OWN serif font that's sexy?? sorry but i gotta make the most of this money im wasting!!!!

honestly i use to do this all the time. now i either whip out figma or sketch something on my ipad. it's soo much easier for me to design when i have a visual idea of what im doing. 

realizing no one actually answered ur original q here but as far as i know from some quick googling:

float's fine for small elements, like aligning an icon to the left or right of a post. it doesn't offer the precision of flex & grid or the adaptability, but if you're not looking to have something perfectly centered or do a Specific Thing, then float's a super easy & light weight way to do it. i think the main issue with float (outside of the fact you can't align it specifically to top or bottom) is it can be a little uhh funky?? i've personally never had an issue with it but it can act up - especially if you have multiple floated elements near each other. 

another point: it's also just frustrating for members to have to constantly make new graphics to match these weird and obscure sizes that are probably only going to be used for this one specific site because the next site has its own weird ass sizes. it also makes it so people without photoshop or decent editing skills are having to ask for help w/ graphics.

you can potentially have small weird sizes if you create a container that cuts off the excess without distorting the image and it isn't going to be nearly as much hassle for your members. but these 900 x 200 banners that are literally used in one spot are... obnoxious. to say the least.

graphic sizes these days are about as consistent and standardized as women's bra sizing.

i think comfort / familiarity with your partner is a huge part of this + also plain old fashioned communication. if you have an idea for a thread, but you're not comfortable just doing it, reach out to ur partner and ask how they'd feel about it!! another thing is write threads w set goals in mind, so that way you're already both on the same page about what you want to get out of said thread and can easily move yourselves toward said goal.

a small, super easy thing u can do that can help move a thread forward: moving the setting along.

so like let's say your characters start off outside. maybe it's raining. maybe it's hot. maybe ur character just isnt vibin anymore. maybe they're going somewhere!! you can either 1) have your character ask about going somewhere else or 2) simply move it along in your writing, by basically saying they start walking to a new location.

and like, you dont have to do a big dramatic change either. maybe the moving along is as simple as just walking around a park??

one last tip is to offer small hooks, especially for threads that don't have any particular goals in mind. so going with the park thing again. your characters at a park. maybe your character now sees..... an ice cream truck. it'll be up to the other rp'er whether or not they make use of that.

(sometimes rp'ers DO miss these things, so dont be afraid to be kinda glaringly obvious. like have ur character STARE that ice cream truck D O W N. and i think 90% of rp'ers probably won't care if you imply their characters are walking/moving with yours as long as ur not literally going from the north pole to australia.)

addon: i think moving threads along and making things happen is REALLY difficult for all role players, either because they're not sure how to do it or they have anxiety about it!! but in my experience, writing partners love it when you do things to make stuff happen.

these meds: "relieves sinus pressure and congestion"
