resizing while keeping proportions without using aspect-ratio
hi again! this is more of a general html/css question, but it has to work within dreamwidth's constraints, so i decided to ask it here. please let me know if this isn't the appropriate comm for this. i hope i used the right tags for this post.
here's what i'm trying to achieve (this would be displayed inside the most recent entry on my journal, so i can use regular CSS and not just inline, in case this matters):
i want to have a big box, and inside it a picture and a small box below that. i want the big box to resize responsively while keeping its proportions: suppose its width:height ratio is 1:2; i want it to keep that ratio always. as it resizes, i want the picture and small box inside to also resize while also keeping their proportions.
normally this would be really easy to do with
assuming this is true and i can't use
thanks again for your time!

normally this would be really easy to do with
aspect-ratio (<- this is a link to mozilla's developer resources) but that property doesn't seem to work on dreamwidth -- when i put it in my custom CSS, it doesn't seem to do anything, and it gets highlighted in red. (it works okay when i try it in online CSS editors, so i think it's not my mistake that's causing this.)assuming this is true and i can't use
aspect-ratio on DW, i need to cobble together some other solution, but i'm completely out of ideas. is this possible to achieve without aspect-ratio, or should i just change my idea to something that can be done on DW?thanks again for your time!

Me-and-media update
"Still Wishlisting. This will be super quick," she said three days ago, and then failed to post it.
Kdramas
Watched more of You and Everything Else and now feel I maligned it unduly based on the first seven minutes. The childhood scenes are excellent! Will definitely be watching more.
More of A Hundred Memories, which I'm loving, and two more episodes of Low Life.
And quite a lot more of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty (Netflix) with Andrew. We're both very much enjoying the cooking (schnitzel!), and surprisingly, both wishing the ship would just go away. (Normally I would be on board with romance storylines, and I can kiiiind of see what she sees in him, but this guy needs a LOT more redemption and power-differential mitigation before I'll like it.)
Other TV and films
More of The Newsreader, more Bluey. And at the cinema:
Prime Minister -- a documentary about our erstwhile leader Jacinda Ardern. This was really good -- very candid, brought up a lot of memories from the last 5 years, made me tear up.
The Ballad of Wallis Island -- an incredibly charming little film that hits all the expected beats but does it so well and with such specificity that it totally worked for me. I loved it! Made me cry. So very glad that I saw it at the movies, because the acting was amazing. Warning for gentle cringe humour. (Trailer.)
Writing/making things
alkjsdfhalkdjsfhalkdjsfhaskdljfhadslk BEARS!
Good things
Fish and chips and Low Life tonight. Cat and boy and internet. Writing, especially when it comes together.

"really and truly, it's just you and more you." (notes from the universe)
Happy October!
Recently I learned:
1) Tinnitus can sound like music.
2) Enzyme cleaners are great at unclogging pipes.
3) Less authentic mooncakes may be more delicious.
4) Some very dramatic plants think 50F is a killing frost.
Also, you can explain to your dog that you will always provide her with more food, you can show her all the food you have which is more than any three dogs could possibly need, and she will still ask for 100 dreambones so she can hide 50 of them for the hard times, and you will find them in places you never knew she'd been, usually still clean-ish and not gross but NOT ALWAYS.
On the plus side, when you ignore the lose bolt in her dog stroller too long and it falls out, never to be seen again, the internet can actually teach you enough about nuts and bolts that you can order a correctly sized replacement online, without having to interact with a single human being while still benefiting from humanity's collective wisdom and ingenuity.
I was cleaning yesterday: not the light garden, which I cleaned last week because plants were knocking on the door at the end of September this year, but all around the light garden because sometimes I worry that my laissez-faire attitude toward cleaning will result in a dust dragon, which sounds so much cooler than what I imagine I will find when I pick up all the blankets lying on the floor. (Dreambones, mostly.) There were no dragons, and the dreambones have been thrown away.
My point is, why do I worry so much? ("It's people like you who survive disasters," someone once told me. But waiting to survive a disaster doesn't seem like the most fulfilling use of my life on Earth.)
I have a Chinese journal now; it's mostly private because I'm using it forinkingitout this year, but I'm also using it publicly for all the other challenges I've mentioned, and when I'm not tending the plants for hours I collect pictures from my or other local gardens, along with occasional fic recs or notes on the Untamed.
Welcome to follow or not as you wish: this isn't an advertisement, just a PSA given that some of us are in the same communities, and I'm not a big talker but I get that there's no reason to expectxinger ("star") and starandrea are the same person. They are.
In conclusion:
5) Last year's dahlias were yellow; why are they all red now?
6) A single vine can grow so many different kinds of gourds.
7) Glow in the dark bracelets light up night corn mazes.
8) Pledge of the Peony ftw.

Guardian Bonus Bingo October Prompts
While June feels like it was just yesterday, October is upon us, taking us into the final month of new Guardian Bonus Bingo prompts. We hope everyone has enjoyed the fest so far. Remember that after this month ends, you’ll still have all of November to catch up on any prompts you might have missed.
You’re also welcome to join us if you’re just now discovering the fest. With the November catch-up month, there’s plenty of time left to fill all prompts even if you’re starting with October.
October (O) Prompts:
Illumination | Worth It | Shameless
You only need to create for one of these prompts to earn a fill for this month, though you’re welcome to create more if you feel so inspired.
While the fest account is located on Tumblr, you don't have to be a Tumblr user to participate or to earn a badge at the end of the fest. (Filling one prompt per month over five months is what matters for earning the badge, not where you post your fills.)
Friendly Fest Reminders:
- This is a low-stress fest. The point is to create fan works and have fun.
- All modes of creation are accepted!
- All ratings, all ships, rpf, Weilan derivatives, and even works based on other Priest novels are accepted. Please tag accordingly.
- Three prompts per month instead of one. This is to give people more options. You only need to create for one prompt to earn a fill. (You are, however, welcome to complete or combine all of them if you’d like.)
- Prompts are inspiration only – follow them as strictly or as loosely as you’d like
- No min/max content requirements.
- No works created using generative AI
About/FAQ - Contains full fest info
AO3 Collection - You may also post in other places (tumblr, Dreamwidth, etc.)
If you @ our tumblr account, we’ll happily reblog your fill.
Let us know if you have any questions. We are so excited to see what you'll create in August!
June (B): Chase | Door Key | Respite
July (I): Cake | Reconciliation | Emergency
August (N): Incoming Call | Free Space | Festival
September (G): Hands | Midnight | Good Fortune
October (O): Illumination | Worth It | Shameless

Title: Nature's Innuendo
Fandom/Pairing: Sasaki to Miyano - Sasaki/Miyano
Summary: Sasaki has tickets to the aquarium, and he and Miyano find a new exhibition there, an exhibition that proves that sometimes nature is bizarre and obscenity is in the eye of the beholder.

New month, but the read books are all from last month
Recently read
Currently reading
- Yatsuki Wakatsu, The Other World’s Books Depend on the Bean Counter, Vol. 2: Church Management Support Plan
The first volume managed to be entertaining, mostly because the relationship dynamic between the MC and the ML was hilarious. Turns out that couldn't carry the series past the first volume. The first volume was bad in an addictive way; this one is just bad. Alas. - Cat Sebastian, Hither, Page (Page & Sommers #1)
Some years ago I tried to read Cat Sebastian's It Takes Two to Tumble and bounced off of it hard enough that I never tried to read anything else by her. Until now. Lately, I've been into historical mystery novels, especially queer historical mystery novels, so I've had my eye on this for a while now. It didn't end up being quite as historical as I thought it would be -- for some reason I thought it'd be post-WWI rather than post-WWII -- but I loved it so much that I think I might be a Cat Sebastian fan now. - Cat Sebastian, The Missing Page (Page & Sommers #2)
That title is so clever it makes me mad.
Currently reading
- Annick Trent, The Oak and the Ash (The Old Bridge Inn #3)
Haven't read the previous volumes of this series, but it's stand-alone enough to not matter. Historical M/M romance between a surgeon with radical political ideas and a valet with an interest in meteorology. I'm enjoying this one a lot!

Just in case someone else missed it too - rarepairexchange reveals are delayed. Instead of 5 October, they're projected to happen on 19 October.
The reason I missed it: the delay was announced at the top of a pinch-hit post the day after the deadline (which was 21 September). I didn't even think to look at it at the time because I knew I didn't have time for any pinch-hits.
If that's you too, now you know. *g*
(Yesterday I happened to notice the new pinch-hit deadline, which is after the original reveals date, and got very confused. But the sticky post is up to date, which cleared up the current schedule, and then I tracked down the original announcement.)

Various media-(mostly book-)related things
Silver and Lead, the newest October Daye book (and the first one published by Tor) is out today!
The ebook came to about $25, and I just bought it, but OUCH. Just. Ouch. Since the Toby books started getting initially published as hardcovers, I've been buying the ebooks initially and then getting paperbacks later, but this might keep me from rebuying in hard copy going forward. >.< We'll see.
I expect I'll start reading Toby today (it's a day off), but up to this point, for the last week or so I haven't been trying to get my brain to engage with a new story of any kind, what with the work crunch. I've mostly stuck to watching things withscruloose when there's been a chance. We're caught up on The Summer Hikaru Died (and I think the most recent episode might've been the season finale? Anyone know offhand?) and made more of a dent into season 1 of Silo.
Other than that, I watched a couple episodes of Leverage on Friday (late season 4, and finally into the chunk of episodes I know I haven't seen; I think from here on the only ep. of the original show I've previously seen is the series finale) and I've been sifting through cookbooks.
C&Ped from elsenet, posted yesterday:
After months of not getting around to it, I just ordered a heap of danmei (and one manga volume) from the Beguiling in Toronto (a fantastic comic store to begin with, and I appreciate them enough now for maintaining a masking policy that I'd rather order from them even though free shipping requires a $300+ order).
I always enjoy seeing (and envy) people's danmei shelves, but nearly all of my danmei is in ebooks a) to save both money and shelf space and b) because I'm much better at actually reading things that way. But the Rosmei danmei doesn't have that option, and they licensed some priest titles, so hard copies it is!
[Yesterday's] order: Coins of Destiny 1, The Defectives 1, Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire 1-2, Global Examination 1, Kaleidoscope of Death 1-2, Silent Reading (Mo Du) 1 special edition (one of my hard copy exceptions from 7S), and Kaze Hikaru 33.

dreamkist in seasonsofdrabbles Summer Round 2025, using their prompts: Reincarnation and Meditation. Originally I wrote these as a single drabble series but the mods felt that did not meet their criteria of a drabble series/sequence as it was based on a single scene so I split them up into a triple and single drabble for my recipient.

Fannish September
Work stress continued, so the fluff-binge-watching did, too.
I went through all 56 (!) episodes of Love Like The Galaxy, a costume drama starring Wu Lei and Zhao Lusi. I like them both, but the drama is so much not my cup of tea that I was ranting about it to my friends the whole time. If you want to subject yourself to it, it's on viki (and youtube). I really just finished it for Wu Lei's face, which I was able to enjoy even in period costume for a change. The drama itself is about a young noble lady with little education or grace but a knack for physics and construction who falls in love with a young general traumatized by his whole family getting killed and bent on revenge. The characters are all cardboard cutouts and/or comic relief, the conflicts are all people being mean to each other in increasingly devious and despicable ways, and the love story is larger than life and blown this way and that by the superficial plot only meant to evoke maximum emotion from the viewer without much regard for logic. For some reason, none of this kept me from watching it to the very end, all just to see Wu Lei smile. My priorities, I show you them. This left little room for anything else this month.
HPI ended! *sob* The last four episodes all aired in September, and I enjoyed them all, especially 5x07, which was a shipper's delight from start to finish. I also liked the last episode, and it leaves us with a nice ending to a wonderful show. 5 stars no comments.
Oh, I forgot about Dream Within a Dream! A transmigration parody that immediately endeared itself to me by parodying Love Like The Galaxy in its first episode. :D I posted the comparison here. I have by now seen three eps and find it pretty funny! It parodies all the tropes, which is the best thing you can do with tropes, anyway. :) It's on viki.
Phineas and Ferb, season 5. Slowly going through this instead of more meaty things (see work stress), and enjoying it. It's really still just as good as it's always been, it makes me laugh a lot. I also very much enjoy how many *friendly* scenes between Doofenschmirtz and Perry there are. (Yes, I ship them, who doesn't?)
Shine. Maybe later. I made it to ep 5 and then couldn't be bothered to continue.
Things I looked at (like 20 minutes each) but did not really pick up (yet) :
Remembrance of Things Past - a short cdrama with Zhou Yutong
My Youth - a kdrama starring Song Joong Ki who I really like and would enjoy seeing in a romance (I hope?)
Dongji Rescue - screeners in terrible quality, I will wait. (But what I saw so far was very good. Better than I expected.)
TV new (finished)
