updates

dec 27, 2024:

  • updated my HTML and CSS to hopefully be more valid. it might not work on outdated browsers due to nesting, but it's a fair tradeoff to avoid (sparkles) selector hell * my sidebar headings are now larger, strangely. this is due to an interaction with h1, section, and aside (i replaced them with h2). it feels weird to me, i dunno
  • removed the lastFM thingie on my homepage for now.
  • added some cute buttons to the colophon
  • i wrote an 100-word drabble today! read it here on ao3, or look for "french braids" on the writing page under oneshot

dec 26, 2024:

  • added quite a bit to the writing and reading pages! * ie. a fan works section to the writing page and a recommendations section to the reading page (+ restructured the reading logs a bit)
  • after much deliberation i've decided to capitalize book titles and author names, at least in headings... if i lowercase a book or an author i promise it's not disrespect it's just how i write (kind of weird to break into proper caps in the middle of a paragraph y'know?)

dec 21, 2024: i made a couple new buttons at the airport


dec 19, 2024: replaced the deprecated center element.


dec 18, 2024: i replaced most marquees on the site with a CSS + JS replacement, courtesy of metemo! unfortunately the JS is necessary to completely replicate marquee behavior, but it's not like i don't use JS on the site already...


nov 19, 2024:

  • restructured the now page
  • updated the links page a small bit
  • realized the guestbook was ordered wrong, so i wasn't seeing new comments at the top... it's fixed now, i don't generally respond to guestbook posts but i promise i read them and love them! ^_^

nov 16, 2024: finally did something with the art page. (this caused me way more of a headache than it should've!) the 2023 page is somewhat populated, there's a bit more stuff in the 2024 page. i'm too lazy to add more art right now


oct 31, 2024: i finished a pale view of hills! read my review here (spoilers, of course)

jun 07, 2024:

  • not much, but i added an old song to the music page. look for "it's raining somewhere else (lo-fi remix)"
  • in other news, school's out for the summer. i'll be traveling, but hopefully i'll be able to do more for the site as well
  • testing out this new update format – not sure if i'll keep it, but it seems useful for updates with more content.
