A simple feed mostly centric around site updates with new content or fixes
Minor changes, but I added Bechno Kid's cool calendar to the front page (only visible on desktop) and added a little section to link to my bearblog for longer posts, since I'll probably stop adding them to my blog page on here ... which I guess now is more of a microblog!! Bearblog just feels nicer to get full thoughts out on there
So I say but it's a very small update, I've been lazy with adding my images to uploading them imgbb then to here so ... I did put up my birthday munchies though! Obviously I have a few months to catch up on, but it's not a lot.
Nothing too fancy, I ended up just making a hub page for my shrines, so my navigation is kept more concise. I also added my Genshin Impact shrine I got gifted! It's up, but technically I still need to fill out the content.
I finally got around to adding a drawbox to my page!! It's still kinda rough since I have to do a frame to have it work (something something supporter and no external scripts) and I'll have to organize the submitted art into its own frame eventually, but it is live!! Thank you to the people who already sent in a few doodles 💖
I completely forgot to actually put this in my feed, I got too lost in the sauce ... I joined Colors TCG on Dreamwidth and ended up using a template for my trading page. I'm still very baby with my collection at the moment, and there's still a few things I wanna fix on the page itself (such as having little mini tools which weren't included in the original template but are on the creator's site), and organizing the front page layout but ...
Yay, cards! Who is surprised that I'm going ham on collecting Zhongli's cards.
I finalized the bones for my Goatlings shrine, and in the process the template I wanted to make for it ... as such, err ... my shrine is kinda like half done since I was mostly speedrunning to finalize the template to post up (which it now is on my templates!). I still wanna make a goatlings profile tab, but I'd need to figure out the javascript to have a dropdown selection that then populates the template properly with the items ... and that's scary:tm:.
Future worry for future me, but for now I should finish my own shrine properly.
Added a temporary shrine for Goatlings, mostly due to it falling under an End of Service out of the blue. I'll just say it's a shitshow, I'm not gonna summarize it in the shrine but yeah. Sad to see.
I finally made the lil Sylvie pixel adoptable to celebrate 300 followers!! I do have them on my toybox in GIF and PNG format, and added the bigger version in the gallery as well (which obviously is for social media posting and not teeny version).
... I was supposed to update my food log tonight as my lil mini goal but uh. Yay pixel art?
I usually haven't been linking my blogs on here since they're on Bear Blog (and bear blog has its own RSS feed), but since this is a blog post that kinda summarizes my entire year, including my introduction to the indie web side of things, I thought I'd make an RSS post here as well (sorry for anyone who gets dupes if they follow both). A reflection on what I've accomplished this year, my art summary for 2025, and what I hope for next year to knock out as goals.
Christmas/holiday themed poll, we ignore that it's halfway through the month already, LOL. Otherwise, site updates have been pretty slow, I've mostly been working on my Minecraft Forever World page since that's what I'm actively playing right now, and dropping some microblog thoughts off here and there. Since it's a small update, this is an RSS only update.
I revamped my Zhongvie shrine to use one of my own templates; it's not complete yet, I still need to do the gallery and find pixels/items to decorate it with, but I really wanted to get it off my skull!!
Oh god, there's a lot to even keep track of ... I've been gutting my old code for my site for a while now, and I think I'm done with it ... I'm sure there'll be a lot of broken links or fucked up images I need to fix, but I'll hammer at those over time slowly.
To vaguely summarize:
... I'm sure I did other stuff I'm forgetting, but this was like a 2-3 week haze, I dunno when I started this.
New template has been made! Went for a big chunky sidebar + a giant focal image, plus I wanted an excuse to use some of the lace borders from scripted. I've had it done for a little while, but kinda dragged my feet on pushing it, oopsies
Not fully site related, but I joined joro in making a forum that's a chill hangout spot for neoneighbours/indie web peeps; obvs it's not locked to just neocities, but anyone can join!! I wasn't sure where to put it on my site, so it's just in the RSS feed for now and the neocities feed :D
Just so you know I'm totally hunting down deviantART emotes to add as custom emotes there
I've been putting off doing a now update since I felt like I didn't have much to yap about, but I'll probably be a little freaky/excited in the games section sooooo apt time to do it.
What's Been Going On?I made my very first website template!! I hope to make future ones, but I'm a very slow cooker when it comes to layouts and not overthinking it too much
On a smaller note, I updated my diary calendar to have November settled in
Not a very exciting now page update, mostly just small life stuff, and it's been a bit of a blur. As a more minor thing, I've been doing article reading and wrote a small blog post on the concept of bookmarks. I also fixed my food log page to be a bit cleaner with griddery, and updated some recent foods
I ended up caving to make a fun page to just document all the stuff I've cooked and eaten over a period of time; I do not take selfies, I just take food photos LOL. It'll be one of those long-term projects since I need to dig through my phone and just be wary that the id for each 'item' in the masonry grid is different...
A couple new media entries have been written up; I wasn't going to initially write a separate one up for Hades II, but the ending kinda dipped my rating down from what the original was.
Big ugly code riddled page in trying to break down how I set up my website layout ... at least it was an excuse to actually optimize some stuff in the HTML since there were classes in two separate places ... and some of my layout calculations were wrong. I'll probably expand on it in the future, depending on what questions might come up or if people show interest in the way I did some stuff.
Now page has been updated w/recent ongoings, though it's a bit of a shorter one since the last two weeks haven't been horribly eventful (or they're brain fogged)
In an attempt to try to offload some of my stuff from Toyhouse, I've made my first art gallery and fic section for Yadyra, since I thought he didn't have too much art to explode my skull, but enough to work out a layout ... even so, it still was a lot of work to set up around 40–50 images and to WEBP everything. I'll really need to think about image optimization if I continue with the galleries ...
Another rambly think piece; I guess my blogs end up being more of a dissection of my own self more than anything, or a study piece of something ... but I didn't always used to have such a divide of the personal self, and the 'art' self.
Cleaned up my index to reorganize since it's a way to combat the horrible itchy 'aughh I wanna rehaul my site' need. Mostly just added a section for new artwork I do so it's upfront + shuffled things around. New poll as well!
Inspired from Nana's page, I wanted to make my own little diary page (since I've been in the habit of documenting one highlight of the day in my own actual journal) ... simple, but it's a start!!
I've retired the nav link to my listography page, but it's still present on the site itself since I know there's a few outlinks to it
As per usual, probably a messy incoherence of a thought stream; my blog about my own identity touched upon this a bit, but I thought I'd get a little more ... in-depth I guess? I'm always a little nervous talking about it because I ID as cis (minor aside for cassgender, and maybe aligning to some degree to demigirl if you use the 'barest association with being a girl' description which would be funny cause then 2014 me was right to identify with the concept) and some part of me always worries if I'm overstepping on toes in discussing gender, or how I discuss it, or exploring it.
Dang, been on a bit of a roll with these; after figuring out a nicer way to WEBP convert, the only real issue is just making thumbnails of everything and writing up ALT text for each art piece ... to be fair, 2017 only has 24 art pieces compared to 2016 which had 61. Decent amount of commission for this year
Caught up my art gallery to 2016 (which has among the most art pieces I'm going to be adding to my gallery) ... now it's just ... 8 years to go to fill out. Wish me luck ...

A small handful of reviews have been added to the media log:
Now page has been updated with just what's been going on, nothing too fancy. I also joined pillowfort to test out another art posting place
Wrote a longer blog post on the concept of having a sona (it's not a very coherent blog post, just me dumping out thoughts). Also uploaded a few artworks to the gallery (one of which is context relevant to the blog post anyway LOL).
Got a new OC page made! This is my old blorbo from my devART days when I made an adoptable species called the furzilla; they don't have any real development, but they're one of my oldest and favourite designs (I actually have a papier mâché artwork I made of them back in high-school that's still sitting in my room)
Inspired from Nana's own Sims 3 legacy page, I finally got my own set up to document what's been happening so far! Warframe is eating my brain right now so it is on a mild hiatus, but up to the beginning of generation 2 is active.
(I've also updated my now page, but that's a lot smaller)
Finally added the matcha cookie and basa filet recipes to my site!! Knocking out more of my greyed out recipes, though the japanese curry one will be a mouthful when I get around to it
Temporarily archived my minecraft page, just until I pick it up again and can return to my forever world in full (it's not deleted, it's just in an archived folder that doesn't get pushed to Github). Added a new blog post as well about my new Sims 3 legacy challenge ... maybe if I ever do finish it, I'll make a page here about it (miracle if I ever do)
Fixed up index page with a new video + dragons.
Almost 3 weeks since my last update, but my now page is caught up to the present; not much has changed outside of me finishing my post-grad and starting to pick up personal projects again
Finally caved to make a new shrine ... it's not the most detailed thing ever, but I wanted to blab about my favourite Bleach character Ukitake and list all the alt cards I got from the Bleach Brave Souls game
Updated my now page to be caught up to my ongoings, and I ended up reorganizing my front page to introduce two new webrings. I also changed the cool video of the week to one of adef's cool Pokémon challenges where he sees if the Elite 4 of the regions can get all the way through the gyms to earn their spots
I know it's probably weird to be working backwards, but I've been slowly adding older things first since I have a lot more I need to go through there vs later years. SO, 2013, 2014, and 2015 are now full of my artwork, and 2016 is being worked on next (which wish me luck, it's 60 drawings I need to do and make alt text for).
Rehauled the blog page and reinstated the previous blog entries I had there, though now they're just all on one page, which ... undoes all my previous work. Oh well! I really like this layout though by NomNomNami, it makes it feel more freeing to write small posts like I would on my tumblr, and some of the 'fluff' posts are actually pulled from there.
I'll be adding more 'filler' posts over time, since it looks a little weird to me to just have continual chunks of long form posts. Maybe I'll upload some of my sketches here as well, and photos I take of my lunches since I've been documenting my bentos I take to school for the last few months.
Added a new video as well to the front page!
New now page with what's been going on, though it's a little emptier than some of the other weeks (I did look through my journal and most stuff was either minor life stuff, or website work which I already documented)
Created an art page! I finally caved to make one to document my artwork throughout the years, though I'll be curating which ones I add. So far it's only 2025 and part of 2012 and earlier since there's some art I haven't uploaded yet
Small update just for the RSS feed this time! I added three new games and a movie and show to my media log, which are these ones:
Mass Effect and Sims are more of a general yapping rather than having sections for each game.
A few changes inbound: I added a full font toggle with different font options, and opted to remove my dark/light mode toggle for the fully built in prefers-system CSS code. Also adjusted the index page layout.
On a more character end, I finally brought over Sylvie's game kit, cause I realize I never did actually include it in their character page even though it's been fully designed. By extension, I did now finally come up with recommended weapons, artifacts, and teams for them which I did not have before.
Added polls to the index page, even though it's fucking ass to set up; thanks to starry-knight for figuring out how to do it (aka github page you embed)
Made another OC page!! Although it's not as fleshed out, he's Hideki's hubby and still means a lot to me even if retired
Updated now page again! ... I didn't realize it's been a bit over two weeks since my last update; I wanna try to keep them to a bi-weekly basis for my own tracking as well to look back on for funsies
Added a toybox page to store cute pixels, inspired off other toyboxes!! I ... do need to make a nicer pixel shelf though ...
New /now entry to catch everything up to the present
Added a YouTube video to the front page! :P I'll just be using it to drop cool videos I enjoyed on a [unknown] time basis
New blog entry mostly around journaling for me
RSS feed is special and gets a little update I'm not placing on my front page ... but it's just me giving a heads up that I added a bunch more games to my media log, mostly centric around my nostalgia list off backloggd; not all of them have a review yet (since my brain would burn out writing that many) but I got them included for when I'm ready to write
Sorry for the massive rant under Elsword (I'm not)
I found Kalechip's cool fake listography page template and I wanted to make a little page for just thought dumps + random links I feel won't fit into my bookmarks page ... I probably won't make any update posts when I add stuff to it, since that's literally just a brain dump zone, but it's a nice little slice of life area where everything is gathered more nicely.
I am terrible at knowing what to make lists of though, even though I love the concept a lot :P
New blog entry yapping mostly about recognizing traits of myself (some of which I didn't know) in my own OCs.
(I also expanded more on my media log, but that's minor compared to this 😉)
New /now entry! Just new life updates + what's been going on
New blog post, though I'd call it more of an unorganized thought dump. Mostly surrounding me talking about how I view my own identity, and more as something to empty my brain out of my thoughts! It's definitely a more personal blab.
Brought in one of my oldest OCs which is my Bleach OC! Her profile is rough cause god knows it was written well over ten years ago, but she's one of my more developed OCs I had immensely active for 3–4 years before she was retired. Had it not been for her, I'd have never met such wonderful people in the OC/Canon community back then.
Mostly a thought dump blog about how some people feel hostile towards non-sharing yumes
New recipe for pork tenderloin!!
Began work on the program list on my bookmarks, though I know I'm still missing quite a few
New RSS feed has been made, and has been added to the site!! It'll mostly house my site updates and new page infos
