wait holy shit now that i’m using 11ty i can also remake my goatlings shrine and just use bases and macros hahahaaha it wont be all in one page but i dont think i mind doing one page per goat tbf. i guess that means i can update my old template to have the more advanced version with the goatlings JS im using now

sighs 11ty rlly unlocked something wild in me to be able to be ‘lazier’ (aka suffering to set up the bones of layouts and sections then just easily fill them)

Suppose it's possible there could be one, but I came up with the idea independently because I didn't like any of the preset prompts and needed to work on my OCs, and thought the name was fun

anyway, not totally sure if I remember you specifically from goatlings (kinda stopped socializing in '24 bcuz that fucking "state of goatlings" thread made the bullying that happened 2 me on goatlings-vent mainstream) but i think i've seen ur site before but felt too awkward to message, so nice officially breaching containment!

dang fr??? either way that’s awesome, i gotta poke around ur site cause i love seeing OCs from others!!! and dang yeah, tbf i wasn’t very active in forums after the initial discord i was in got ultra nuked, at most i also offered my thoughts in the state of goatlings from a game designer perspective but otherwise kinda peered from the distance (I used to go by Aid there bahaha, i think most ppl knew me from my auto—

filler goat template i did and shared (and i guess now for the neocities goatlings template i also shared for peeps to remake their profiles). i’d love to button share tho!!!! im remaking my site rn so im not updating my neighbours rn but ill yoink ur button for the new site neighbours page >:D

definitely a massive shitshow near the end though, i honestly only knew of goatlings-vent as the site shutdown was nearing, but damn it really brought out the worst in people. i’m still glad to find peeps from there i do recognize from perusing the threads and forums across the years

apparently per goatlings-vent in 2023, i'm the worst fucking person in the world for naming goats after my special interest and comparing fictional lore about two musicians who hate each other to a real occurrence of said (but asking DG what fucking homestuck sign he would be is totally fine). everybody gangsta bout special interests till yours isn't an anime, animal, or video game

then i stopped talking about ronnie onsite / in live chat and just tended to my collection of goats named after the thing i'm autistic about (LIKE EVERY OTHER GODDAMNED USER ON THE SITE), and took down my loosely FIR-inspired designs... and still got everything i did interpreted in bad faith! then the same goddamned people decided to start complaining about literally everything onsite and became the dominant party

oh, also, liking a band makes my trans pride AD in bad faith which i can only read as "you are not validly trans". tbh, if i could swear on goatlings, I'd have renamed my design thread "shitty designs by a disgusting person" (how one venter described transcendent. unsure how a special interest in a band that i don't support makes me a disgusting person but w/e)

i was on state of goatlings about gameplay stuff for a while, then stopped because it all became problematicism bullshit -- if everything is disgusting, no one is, and i'm not gonna believe your claims of actual problems if you've got no citation and it's coming from the same blog as Having A Non-Stereotypical Special Interest Makes You Evil

it's easier to put the burden onto the user rather than attempt to hold giant multinational social media companies accountable for anything, for which a $15 million fine for exposing children to whatever type of objectionable content is just the cost of doing business.

I feel much the same way. It's disheartening to see how young people are being shut out from spaces. It's bad enough that teens can't hardly exist in public without grouchy adults trying to run them off, but governments and corpos are doing the same thing online too!

We need third spaces! We need people to connect with! Not just under-16s but all of us! and this legislative push will make that harder for everyone. Also interesting how abusers usually focus on isolating their targets. almost like a lot of the people spearheading this stuff *are* dangerous abusive people

fr though!!! in terms of third spaces anyway. it’s why i’m saying it feels like at this rate we might return back to forums/more niche site days being the norm vs being huddled into a few social medias (but the issue is being so fractured and finding those places)

ough yeah the oc page conversion to 11ty might be what does me in ... macros are hurting my brain ... blocks i kinda get, it's the way to do 'different chunks' depending on what you write/overwrite in the OC page ... but macros to control the different template u might use ... rubs my skull (i think i like Kinda Get it but i need to fuck around)

should be doable with a separate variables.css file that you just declare in the head before the main style.css, if i'm understanding you correctly 🤔
