How I Built My Share Buttons

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 16:04:13 -0700

The first thing you need to know for this explanation to make sense is that I use Hugo; this lets me easily automate the structure of each webpage via the use of layouts and partials. The partial (as I need to define it) is a repeatable “chunk” of HTML, which replicates itself on all pages that call it in their layout¹ structure.
Additionally, Hugo’s usage of Go allows me to use variables to reference things like “the title of this specific page we’re operating on”, or “the current location of my about page”, or even “the URL to this one image, as we have it so far”².

It is said that there is nothing new under the sun. Indeed, as morbidly unique as my ideas are, they would not have been formed without the many other works I built my campaign’s foundation on. This list exists to thank the creators of those works, and to allow you to use them yourself. I will try to organize them in rough order of when I first found them.

Dungeons and Dragons: 5th Edition rulebook – Wizards of the Coast
Call of Cthulhu: 7th edition rulebook – Chaosium inc.
Into the Wyrd and Wild – Charles Ferguson-Avery, Feral Indie Studios, Wet Ink Games
The Wildsea – Felix Isaacs, Myth Works
Pirate Borg – Luke Stratton, Limithron
Vaesen – Free League
Veins of the Earth – Patrick Stuart, Scrap Princess

Additionally, there are some who have produced multiple works that brought me on this path. They are:

The color scheme: why my website has an off-white background.

As you have almost certainly noticed by now, my website, unlike many, does not have a pure white background (at least in light mode). This is not a defect, nor a quirk of the template; it is an intentional choice made by me. This page is about the logic behind the palette.

A primer on eyestrain #

Eyestrain is the colloqual term for one’s eyes getting tired from overuse. It can be exacerbated by certain visual stimuli, and can manifest as a headache, blurred vision, eye pain, difficulty concentrating, or even muscle soreness. Below is a visual guide to things that can cause eyestrain.

While I was building my website, I made some design choices that may affect your experience. For example, I chose to use the Volkorn type face, partially because I enjoy it and partially because it has some cool features.

Other choices will have a stronger effect, and will mostly affect AI fans. Yet others will have a minor effect on everyone.

An Explanation of the Creative Commons #

Before I explain what I did, I’ll start with why I did it, and before I can do that I need to explain Creative Commons licenses.

About

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Hello! Call me CaerbannogMochi! This website exists so I can share my ~~hilariously demented~~ worldbuilding with y’all.

I’m currently working on writing some books so I can pay for my dream school – mechanical engineering with renewables isn’t exactly a common degree – and can assure you that everything I write is done completely sans AI.

Mostly because it can’t shitpost. Seriously, I don’t think AI could write a self-righteous nun fighting (and losing to) a goat: not without excessive prompting, and not without writing something kinda bland. It definitely can’t draw every member of a DnD group, with periodic updates to make sure everyone’s happy with their PC’s design, whilst hiding the fact they’re going to be posed on the among us crewmate screen until the very end. I have done these things, and will continue my creative shitposting until the day I die.
