Due to the new "M/W/F+" posting schedule, I can no longer refer to this feature as Design Tuesday; instead, I'm titling this type of post as Designs Ahoy, possibly in tribute to a certain seafaring vtuber. (Or not.)

So, I'm easing y'all into the new M/W/F posting schedule by, well, doing a full M/T/W/T/F slate of posts to start off the month. Er, enjoy?
