also friends does anyone know a better "pause all gifs button" solution other than keeping 2 files (one a static img and one gif) for each visual and replacing the extension with the appropriate format? a javascript thing rather than asking ppl to rely on browser extensions. i like moving things but they're too tiring to look at !!

hello friends! i have been slowly having revelations that despite my best attempts to be ™authentic, i was actually stressing way too much about how rattusgarden is percieved by other people. plus life stuff is chaotic right now so i am again going back to slow updates. it's been fun to lurk and see the cool things everyone is doing with websites recently! i hope you all are doing well : ) 💚🍊

last update of the year! saw this questionnaire a few times here and liked the questions too much to pass it up :-) additionally restructures stylesheets for the blog (it was BAD) and cleaned up small screen/mobile view styles for hopefully more comfortable reading

belated update: garden now has a blog! i tend to ramble so im keeping them as separate pages for now and we'll see if it ever becomes too annoying to deal with. 3 entries are there already bc i was procrastinating on coding the blog by writing blog entries

found a few suggestions here.. i particularly like the sprite sheet idea, seems like a fair bit of work to set up but then you could get so creative with the animations..... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2385203/can-you-control-gif-animation-with-javascript
^ check the response up, its good . my new version of the website that im posting soon actually has "pause all gifs" - and i thought of using libraries for it but ive realized that solaria's method of having a png and a gif and a little script that replaces all gifs w pngs seems bulky and annoying but was the one easiest for me to set up and get used to. i hope you'll find what works for you! 🩷
@youareinthetides and @strawberry-transneu thank u both for the suggestions! there's a few interesting things in the stackoverflow question that i'll check out but after looking into them it also makes sense why Solaria's method might be easier to setup, Avrum. might do that instead x) thank you both for input!
