this is the first blog, i guess! i dont know what to make it about, so i guess i'll talk about this site :p

i've heard about neocities about 6 months ago, created an account, but didnt actually get around to make the site for months! i just
didnt have the motivation.

then, a couple months ago, i made a strawpage! i used it over neocities because it was easier to use, and i was at the time really depressed, i guess. i didnt have the motivation to do anything. i got better after a few week though, and thought to myself "strawpage is for stupid people", and
so i started working! my prior experience of CSS was mostly just some abandoned discord theme and an ancient site from my past self.
despite that, i'm still very good! i know how to do most things :3

at first, i just kinda copied my strawpage design; stuff like the checkerboard cards, the background, introduction. you can see the
first backed-up version on the right! i'm surprised by how good it already looks and how fun it actually is to work on a website -
i've been kinda neglecting my basic needs haha.

the current design is (obviously) inspired by frutiger aero, with nintendo's influence and an aquatic theme! the container this text
is on is supposed to be acrylic plastic btw, each blog will have its own colour!

I was always afraid to express myself for some reason, so this website exists to help me do that!

i havent set my art page up at the time of writing, mostly because i dont draw very much (maybe once every 2 months) - i lack the
motivation and the willpower, it kinda sucks. doesnt mean i dont enjoy it, i really do!!

besides art, all that's left are the shrines, where i'll have to make their own styling for each one, yay. when i'm done, i plan to
add other fun stuff like a background image selector and a drawbox!
