It's all made on my phone where you can adjust the screen size with your touch screen. I thought about hiding my gigantic images in spoiler tags but yesterday, for the first time ever, I looked at this journal on a laptop and I decided I like the jarring effect of the chaotic mix of images sizes. It's harder to read but not impossible. I hate when huge images disrupt regular threads so I appreciate what you're saying but since this is my world we're going to have to enjoy distortion over form. Btw, the images with the numbers text are all mine. I feel like using some original graphics puts in some flavor you can't get elsewhere. And I like the crazy sizes.

OK, fair enough: it's your journal. But it's making me not want to read it, just so you know. To me, massive images that distort what you've written come across as insensitive and don't-give-a-****, and since you were talking about how you wished people read your journal more, well, seems a bit silly to stick to your guns when you could just resize or even spoiler the images. Up to you of course, but it ruins it for me. One of the things I was always told when making websites was, take into account that people view them on different browsers, so make sure everyone can read what you've put up, and read it comfortably, or they'll just click and go elsewhere.

Don't be a prissy bitch.
