character shrines are a lot of fun :D

[serpentinemalign]

my copy of batman: prey arrived today, which is wonderful timing because i am working on my website shrine for hugo, and i think a full reread will inspire me even further. i have some other physical editions of hugo stories, which i'm gonna return to as well.

i came up with a few sections that will be a must in the shrine, but will probably require some rereading.

1. early life
2. fashion and aesthetics
3. why is he so hot?
4. how to 'fix' him (in terms of how he is written, not morally lol)

while coding the shrine i got to play with fun things i knew existed but didn't know the syntax for, like setting css variables. it will now be super easy to tweak the styling across a bunch of different shrines, and customise the colours/images to match each character/fandom!

i'm going to go and make some post-midnight tea and toast and start rereading prey. <3 goodnight!

(ps: today was going to be the day i caught up with my reading page and commented on some posts but it was not to be. alas. :( i have fallen ill, which is my very dramatic way of saying i have a cold, and because i rarely get ill nowadays with masking and not going out much, the symptoms feel extra loud. it's kind of nice to... actually be considering how to make time to do that though? with twitter and tumblr it's so easy to just like and leave but this platform feels way more conducive to actual conversations.)
