I wanted to make a post, but my head is a blank. I'm sure there are things I could say, but I don't know what they are.

Anyway, after finishing the [community profile] no_true_pair random pieces I wrote for [community profile] rainbowfic, I was all 'well now I shall get back to the other plot arc that I had just got to the interesting bit at last, yay' and then of course immediately got distracted into writing more pieces for the other time period to fit the new community challenge at RainbowFic that got posted after.

So, I'm crossposting the first of these, but first, to prove Other Arc really is a Thing and I have not forgotten, and to try and force myself to get used to Evil New Graphics Program, I tried to make a pretty banner for said arc, and managed two:






Credits: see my profile for general credits. Background texture by eledhwen; screencaps my own.

I quite like these, but they're still a bit random. It took a while just to work out how it did text. (I really miss my Ancient and Simple Free Program, lol.)

(I did get along better with it, but i cannot for the life of me get it to shrink prepared images to 100x100 pixels without them ending up hopelessly blurry. It's not too bad at lesser shrinkages and you can make it a bit better by shrinking by increments, but, honestly, it's ridiculous, so I have solved it by doing that bit on Photopea which may now have started telling me off every two seconds for having my adblocker on, but will at least resize to 100x100 with NO TROUBLE & a perfectly clear result at the end.)

I like those. The coloration of the second is more interesting to me, but if the first one turns out to be part of a glacier-toned set, I will not complain.

(Condolences on the loss of your Ancient and Simple Free Program. I have really not acclimated to the word processor on this post-Bertie machine.)

Pretty graphics! Sounds a stupid graphic design program if it can't reduce pics, even Paint can do that!
