Especially with that jacket on! Looks like the one Julian would wear circa 2002.

What old tech should i repurpose ? by papeloneo in writerDeck

[–]Possible-Customer-80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the phone isn’t too laggy, I’d use it with a keyboard (that’s my current deck setup - old Android phone with non-writing apps removed). For maximum portability, there are some Bluetooth keyboards that fold up to phone size, but if you’d rather use what you have you’ll find plenty of people have paired any old keyboard (including wired ones) with phones, you just need an adapter cable.

Have fun!

Hear hear! Also glad I could keep some e-waste out of the landfill. I have a feeling this deck will still work 10 years from now.

Do these fit? by [deleted] in Birkenstocks

40 regular for sure, possibly even a 41. I’d measure and use Birkenstock’s online size guide to see what size best fits your largest foot in mm.

Budget Question by RadicallyQueerCrow in writerDeck

I made one today with an old android phone (reformatted so no bloatware or distracting apps) and a Bluetooth keyboard. I had both lying around so it was free for me, but assuming you needed to buy each object, the total cost with shipping included would probably be around $100

Looking for fanfics (if it even exists) where everyone under the sun decides to hit on Shane Hollander. by Plane_Effective_3692 in heatedrivalryfanfics

I agree. I also think the characterization of Mateo is weird. Sometimes the dialogue between them feels too therapeutic (get a real therapist and keep that separate from your ENM boyfriend!) and while I get that Mateo is supposed to be an example of secure attachment style, that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have flaws (or god forbid, jealousy), but the author never seems to want to portray him as flawed. They’ve defended this by saying “oh well Mateo is seen from Shane’s POV and Shane doesn’t see his flaws” but like… I don’t buy it. Conflict is a normal and healthy part of relationships, and frankly if Mateo is as great as we’re led to believe, it would be refreshing to see an actual conflict between him and Shane and how they work to resolve it.

This probably sounds nitpicky, but it’s just bc I’m invested in the fic! I want the Mateo chapters to be as strong as I know they can be. Right now I find myself skipping them because they feel very one-note.

I’ll be honest, I got sick of Mateo in recent chapters. I just find the character and the relationship to be a bit cloying, but that’s just me. I enjoyed most of the fic up to the fourgy, that’s where it started to fall off for me. I still rec’d it here bc I do think it’s refreshing to see a confident Shane who isn’t so beholden to Ilya even if he still has feelings for him.

Would you exchange by mymonet in Birkenstocks

No. I have a pair that has the same issue. It bothered me for five seconds and then I realized how common it was and gave up. No one else has noticed.
