    COME BUY!




    Oh, hallo daar!
    Welkom in mijn layout shop!


    Het is alweer een tijdje terug sinds ik laatst zo'n soort topic heb beheerd, maar aangezien ik de laatste tijd belachelijk veel layouts heb gecreëerd, leek het me een poging waard. Ik maak layouts voor profielen, roleplay personages en stories. Vraag gerust aan, maar lees wel eerst de gebruiksaanwijzingen!
    MINIMALISM      IS      DEAD!!
    LONG LIVE TACKY EXTRAVAGANCE!!

    WAT IK NODIG HEB VAN JOU:
    Nu zijn mijn layouts gratis, maar ik heb wel een richting nodig om te weten waar je naar op zoek bent. Het invullen van het onderstaande kan me daar hopelijk mee helpen.

    STORY LAYOUTS
    Vul het lijstje onder de spoiler in en comment dat.
    x      Wat is de titel van je verhaal, en moet die erop?
    x      Welk genre is je verhaal?
    x      Wat is de flaptekst die je erop wilt?
    x      Als je flaptekst kort en out of context is, waar gaat je verhaal over? (Zodat ik dit mogelijk kan verwerken in de sfeer)
    x      Is er nog overige tekst die erop moet? (Quotes, waarschuwingen, etc.)
    x      Wat voor sfeer wil je graag?
    x      Zijn er plaatjes die er persé op moeten? (Zoals bijvoorbeeld een cover)
    x      Zo niet, wat voor plaatjes zou je graag willen?
    x      Hoe extravagant moet de layout zijn? (Simpel, gemiddeld, of extreem?)


    CHARACTER FILE LAYOUTS
    Vul het lijstje onder de spoiler in en comment dat. (Also ik houd van je)
    x      Geef me het lijstje dat je gemaakt hebt met alle tekst erin. (Naam, leeftijd, persoonlijkheid, etc.) Ik kan dit niet voor je schrijven, ik kan het alleen ordenen.
    x      Heb je een faceclaim? Zo ja, wie? (Als je alleen een paar plaatjes hebt zonder naam, kun je deze ook bijvoegen)
    x      Wat zijn quotes die ik bij zou kunnen voegen? (Als je niks specifieks hebt, kun je me een algemene richting geven)
    x      Wat voor kleurenschema wil je?
    x      Wat voor sfeer/aesthetic moet ik gebruiken?
    x      Zijn er specifieke plaatjes die erin moeten?
    x      Hoe extravagant moet de layout zijn? (Simpel, gemiddeld, of extreem?) (Hoe langer je file, hoe extravaganter ik de layout kan maken)


    PROFILE LAYOUTS
    Vul het lijstje onder de spoiler in en comment dat.
    x      Wat zijn een aantal thema's die je graag op je profiel zou hebben?
    x      Wat is tekst die je er graag op zou hebben? (Zoals bijv. een introductie of quotes)
    x      Zijn er specifieke plaatjes die je erop zou willen hebben?
    x      Zo nee, wat voor sfeer wil je graag?
    x      Hoe extravagant moet de layout zijn? (Simpel, gemiddeld, of extreem?) (Hoe meer tekst ik heb, hoe extravaganter ik je profiel kan maken)

    LONG LIVE BAD TASTE!!

    STORY LAYOUTS
    Deze layouts passen over het algemeen beter in stories zelf (vanwege de breedte die daar anders is dan op het forum), dus hier is een link naar mijn story layouts: Klik.

    [face=times]PROFILE LAYOUTS

    Mijn huidige profiel


    CYNICISM
    people are motivated purely by self-interest


    Nothing ever ends poetically. It ends and we turn it into poetry.
    All that blood was never once beautiful, it was just red.


    🐞      there is more information provided regarding this user underneath the spoiler to keep the lay-out intact.      🦷

    hello there, it's your friendly neighborhood mentally ill writer who doesn't publish any writing.
    my name is cynical, i am 18, and i have stuck to this site like a fly to a spider's web for quite a while now. i'm mostly keeping my sticky legs attached to it because making pretty lay-outs makes me happy, and because a lot of my old (deactivated) writing is preserved on here and i enjoy to self reflect.
    some of my interests contain horror, hannibal, death note, psychology, and forensic science.
    if you message me i may or may not respond. i can't guarantee much of anything.

    anyway, my two semi-active friends on here are: kriss & ana, and the rest died with the rest of the site. (if you happen to be one of them, you may seek contact with me at any time, i won't think it's weird. i'm interested to see where you are in life now.) (oh also bug is my partner and i love them very much okay that's it bye)


    and no, i don't type nederlands

    NOTE:
    Qreaties verandert constant de specifieke desktop verhoudingen, dus gaan mijn layouts na een tijdje altijd schots en scheef staan. Niet alle lettertypes die ik gebruik staan op ieders computer, en ook die kunnen er dus saai uitzien zonder dat ik hier enig idee van heb. Ik ben te lui om oude dingen te fixen die in dit topic staan, maar ooit paste alle tekst met de plaatjes zonder lelijk te zijn, I swear



    Ik moet ooit echt deze beginpost vervangen want dit is zo oud (': En deze naam die ik ooit had is ook niet echt.... Wat ik nu zou willen hahahaha verdomme

    "I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe."

    Lol I lied about spam being done I'm da world's biggest multi tasker. Five character analyses at once so I can switch back and forth between two stories







    Gabriele
                                  A child weaned on poison
                            considers harm a comfort





    name:
          Gabriele Goddard
    Gabriele doesn't carry many nicknames around with her. She was named after Archangel Gabriel, which in the most literal sense translates into "Hero of God", but is more commonly known to mean "God is my strength" (but it doesn't mean that - all angels are epithets of God, so their names reflect this, which for whatever reason is important to write here). Goddard means "brave" or "strong".


    THROUGH MY DARK EXPECTATIONS I TURN
    ALL OF THE WORLD CRUEL


    🕱 age:

    Though I have no set age in mind for Gabriele, she's somewhere between her late teens and early twenties (presumably closer to the latter than the former). Her character voice relies on a certain rationale and stoicism (at times bordering on cynicism), which makes her come off as decently mature. However, in her internal monologue there are plenty of more humorous quips that can be youthful, which, mixed with her sense of feeling like she is not in control of her own life, reveals she really isn't that old at all. Nonetheless, I'd argue she's fearless and intelligent enough to be mistaken for somebody older. Maybe. I don't know man I haven't written her story yet.

    w.i.p.
    I don't like much of this yet lol be patient pls I'm going to keep rotting for probably a week before much changes

    DEAD PHILOSOPHER | DROWNED LOVER

    See here! A description I have yet to write that shall
    last for at least three executive sentences. How much longer
    can I bullshit until this is full? A while, it seems! Fuck this


    name:
    FIRST NAME:
    MIDDLE NAME:
    LAST NAME:
    🕯
    🕯
    🕯
    Percy
    ???????????
    ???????????
    🕯
    🕯
    🕯
    One who pierces the valley
    ??????????????????????
    ??????????????????????
    Communication with the dead is difficult, and actually receiving proper attention to detail, such as names, places, or dates, are nearly impossible. At times you'll receive such a detail, but it's very rare that what you receive is actually correct. It's easier to see faces, understand someone's mannerisms and personality, and their desires. Percy is no exception in this. Rather, he is the prime example to the protagonist. "Percy" is the name Astrid hears initially, but there is never any kind of last or middle name presented, meaning this is all we know.


    age:
    DATE OF BIRTH: 🕯 Unknown 🕯 21-29 years old at his time of death
    Again, attention for detail is hard to catch when speaking to ghosts. Percy appears as most certainly an adult, but young enough to still be considered young. Astrid estimates him as somewhere between 21 and 29; as Percy's life story goes on, she pins him closer to 29 than to 21. All of that said, it's possible he only appears as around Astrid's age because it's the era of his body that stuck with him best, and died older - though he does appear to not have grown very old. His life was cut short.



    (minor addition that I want to write out) (because I split the OG Julian into two characters and can't keep this part to myself lol) (Kriss must see) (don't mind my recent laziness with quotes)

    "I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe."

    🕱❇✥❇🕱

    Narrator
    STAY SOFT                 
                      GET EATEN



    I am not a good person. I wish to be (we all do, I believe), but I'm not.

    name:
    Sharing who I am will only give me great trouble. You likely understand why.
    FIRST NAME:
    LAST NAME:
    Unknown
    Unknown

    Unknown
    Unknown
    The narrator never signs a name to the manuscript, choosing to remain anonymous.

    age:

                      I had yet to live when I first saw death. I was no longer
    a child, but nonetheless still very young.

    The story takes place when the narrator is in her late teens or early twenties. She doesn't specify. She lives somewhere in the mid(?) 19th century (I have yet to decide).


    Here is space for a quote. Matter of fact, the layout shall collapse without one.


    gender & sexuality:

    The narrator was born female, but talks at length of wishing they were born male. Initially she tends to confuse strangers because of the clothing she's wearing, making them think she's a man. She finds rationality and courage, which during her time period are perceived as predominantly masculine attributes, very important qualities, and scorns at the thought of not maintaining them. She expresses deep shame at moments of irrationality and cowardice. In spite of all of that, it's important to know she was born a girl and lived only as such, as it's too integral to the story and what happens to her (and why it happens to her) to hide this.

    She is bisexual, which may be part of the reason as to why she wishes to be male (on top of basic gender dysphoria); because she is aware she loves women the way that men are supposed to love women, and knows this is not accepted of her. She isn't entirely sure whether she's attracted to men, but does know she associates them with being in love, if only because she was taught that she lives to fall for them. She can however not recall a single man she's known who has ever peaked her interest prior to meeting her tormentor (with whom you can hardly call her relationship voluntary). She does wish to be loved, but not necessarily to love herself (which is of course very normal for her age).


                'A man?'
    - 'I should have been. I would've been better for it. But no, I'm not.'                             
                      'No, no, you are not. I see you now…
                I've never seen anyone this lovely before.'
