New Year, New Layout!

[setsuntamew]

Yeah, that's right: I made a second enstars layout for myself!!!! Usually I don't change my DW layouts super often, so I don't end up having more than one per fandom, but I have been possessed. I can't escape my love of these dumb idol boys ;w;

......also it's Madara and Kohaku again DON'T JUDGE ME

Anyway!!!! Happy (Belated) New Year!!! I kept meaning to update, but I kept telling myself I wanted to finish this layout first, but then it kept taking longer than anticipated...and now here we are, nearly two weeks into the year XD I completely missed updating about my birthday, too. OOPS. Yay, I'm 35 now!

Uhhhhhhhhh okay but that's not nearly as interesting to me as this layout I made, okay? The original was made by snubbly for the Smooth Sailing S2 style, back in approx 2007, so it's got a very retro LJ look- which is what I was going for! But Smooth Sailing doesn't exist on DW and LJ phased it out, so I had to track down the raw code from elsewhere. And I did - clearly - but it didn't entirely play nice with DW. I had to go in and fiddle with variables, something I swore I'd never do because S2 confuses me too much, and eventually I made it work right :D So I'm quite proud of it.

Also I just LOVE the card art I used ;w; I actually had to rip them from the JP game because I started working on this layout the day they came out and no one had updated the wiki yet. Good thing I know my way around my phone XD

I have more to talk about, but tbh I'm sleepy and just sorta riding the high of having finished this layout~ THOUGH WAIT YES ONE MORE THING: threesentenceficathon is here!!!! I haven't written anything yet, but I can't wait to get started~~~

Happy birthday and happy new year!!! I really like your new theme! Massive props for being able to track down the code for that layout, and it looks so nice!! You really did such a great job with it. :D

Thanks so much!!! I had a really nice birthday, but tbh this layout has been such a labor of love that it's what I'm most happy about XD The base code is from a creator I really like and makes solid layouts - I used their codes for both my LJ graphics journals! - but getting it to work with modern DW was tricky. So I'm glad other people think it looks good, too ;w;
