Happy holidays! As a gift, here's a new entry after... 6 months...! To be clear, the lack of entries hasn't been for my interest in Chameleon diminishing; If anything, I’d say it reached the highest it's been in this time! Which means I have a lot to ramble about, and the longer I leave this the more stuff I have to talk about, which then makes writing this even harder!! Aghh!!! So: different format this time around. Firstly, the most obvious thing (if you’re not new here):
New page designs !!?!
I’m so glad with how these came out! These are now easier to read, load quicker, and fit the site's general aesthetic better. The ‘my graphics’ page has also been re-designed, so now all of the site is visually united! I've archived the old designs, but don't really see a point in putting them up on here yet.
You, most probably, have also noticed this is on a new page. Starting out, I decided I was going to keep all entries on one page, but after seeing the length from only four entries… Endless scrolling!! Besides, my navigation probably wouldn’t have worked as well with more entries. >_^ Before I get into What I’ve Been Doing Online After The Last Entry, I have something to say about:
What I Was Doing Online Before The Last Entry
…Which was making this chameleon stamp, on which finishing I started writing the diary entry; yet I managed to somehow completely forget to mention it. X_X Memory issues aside... This was my first time using GIMP and I refused to watch a tutorial (BORING), so I struggled a bit. In my opinion it turned out pretty alright! Although, maybe a better image next time? I’d like to figure out how to make a gif stamp next.
What I’ve Been Doing Online After The Last Entry
- Made some progress on screenshotting every panel he’s in. I’m nearly done with the Amazing Spider-Man comics!
I… relapsed back into TikTok for a hot sec. I know!! But, I didn’t do my usual passive browsing, I actually made some sorta high effort videos! And I only viewed Spider-Man content, which led to me finding TWO more artists on tiktok who love chameleon too! I’m pretty sure I’ve checked TikTok for Chameleon art before, so I don't know how I missed them… Anyways, super cool art! I printed some for my wall. Speaking of which, time to show you the new and improved:
Shrine
Ta-da!!! (Ignore the big black blobs lol, I took this picture later when I put more stuff up ;p) I’ve put up more pictures and some comics, & gained a trading card and chameleon plush! (Which is... not seen in this image!)
The Plush I Sold My Soul (£30+) For
Aaa I was obsessed with winning this from the first moment I laid eyes on it… Winning, because, unfortunately for me with my luck, this is a theme park reward. I lost the first year, missed my chance the second time, didn't know it was there the second year and third time, until finally, fourth time the charm, I finally took him home with me!! It only took… £30 (not including the first time)… euf. But, he is so fluffy and silly and delightful and I love him so it was WORTH IT!! He’s also one of the biggest plushies I own.
Card
!!! There’s actually quite a few trading cards of Cham, and here’s the first in my collection! Most of these cards go for £2 max, so it’s basically like when you get yourself a little treat. This one’s seller was lovely and even gave a freebie card, but unfortunately it got lost in the post :(. They sent another out though, with another freebie!?! :D This one got to me safely, with Nightcrawler as the gift. I gave it to my sister who loves X-Men and Nightcrawler especially, she carries it around with her in my bag. I did put my card in my bag too, but right afterwards I got in a (minor) car crash, so I don’t think chammy's good luck…
Goodbyes
OK, I had some other things to talk about… but this is sufficiently long enough and I need to get this out already! Especially since, tomorrow, I'm going to see Kraven the Hunter in the cinema which I am BUZZING about, and will most likely write about here. It has a high chance of being shitty, but I get to see my boyyyyy. Also, I have a tendency to enjoy films everyone rates as shitty anyways.
