An Arx Peeve Thread
-
@Jennkryst - I think I have generic clothing descrips on my home PC which I’d be happy to share when I get back! I used shops to make all of gwenna’s stuff myself and made them because I am lazy and not great at clothing descrips.

Replying to myself because I didn’t make any recommendations to go along with the ‘be careful’, so I need to do that.
One, you can make it yourself. (I’ll help explain the code if you need!)
Two, post a thing to the classifieds board asking for a tailor for a big project.
Three, stalk tailor shops (this is usually what I do when I can’t be bothered to make it).

Just a minor peeve.
Be careful with this one. Expectations for crafting on somebody else’s time has stopped…a LOT of crafters from taking commissions. This sort of thing is actually WHY you see on SO many crafters that they don’t do it at all any more.
Yeah, that’s totally fair. Just got that ‘new character, must do all the things’ flurry of energy that definitely won’t lead to burnout, nope, totally won’t at all.

Yeah I usually have a website or some blank frameworks for an item of clothing then muck around with details.
I’m not sure if there’s too much useful in there, and it is hardly organised, plus some will be old but…
Like it’s legit a dump of various .txt file documents over the course of a few years. I’ll dump some more in there over the next like 10 mins which you can feel free to adapt.

I have to admit, my energy for crafting plummeted when they fixed haggling to not be a money generator. And then I couldn’t just make whatever ridiculous thing I wanted.
I mean, I get why they did it! But man, was being able to make anything in my imagination a better motivator than anything else. Also why I stopped doing commissions, versus any expectations or anything. I just-- really like only making my own ridiculous imagination.

@Jennkryst Clothes are fun so I get wanting them, but don’t forget that you never have to be wearing clothing items. You can take everything off and you will be assumed to be wearing normal clothing for your position.

@farfalla And there is also the magic of +tempdesc

I have a Pinterest board of outfits (six years old and going strong), and an entire google folder of pretty borders I’ve made to describe the huge amount of saved pictures. I wish I had the energy to see them all created, but it just isnt happening. One day I shall finish them all, and all the other things I want to make for other people while im at it. Until then, Jaenelle will just glue spidersilk to herself in creative places.

I regret bringing up CrafterTalk, because now I have this ridiculous desire to pick up a roster crafter, and I am barely hanging on with one character’s plots.

Peeve: When I have brain cells and energy during the week, plan to do investigations or help with investigations then completely forget about it until Sunday afternoon only to remember it is now too late to help or start an investigation.
Peeve addendum: When this also happens during a holiday weekend and I am under the assumption that Sunday is ‘second Saturday’ and forget to do work rolls and all that jazz.

Shit. My rollllllls!
-
@Birdie I’ve done this so many times now when my routine is disturbed. regret all the following week!
