Little updates, including a small diary entry: https://inkcaps.neocities.org/bedroom/diary/summer2024/
I think I want my next projects on here to focus on like... updating older webpages. Cleaning up their codes and redesigning them and stuff, now that my skillset is more robust! * __ *
glad to hear your fever has passed, hopefully the other symptoms go away soon too! i'm looking forward to seeing the refreshes you give to your old pages!!
@kiley thank you so much!! Each day I'm getting better and better which is really encouraging! I hope you like the changes too! I just uploaded some tweaks to my about and quiz pages--small things, but they really make a difference! ;u; Take care!! ♡♡
I want to do something to celebrate and give back after I recover from covid (cries), but for now please accept my gratitude! Sooo happy this hobby stuck!! ♡♡
congrats and happy birthday to your website! ^^ It is always a joy to see how your website grows and looking forward to all you create in the future. Hope you recover soon!
happy site bday!! always happy to see your updates and all the new layouts you come up with - hoping to see many more milestones!~
happy site bday. it feels like you’ve been here forever. i can’t believe it’s only been a year!!
happy happy birthday to this beautiful cottage! can't wait to see how it grows even more ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-
Ahhhh oh wow, thank you so much everyone! It's surreal to think it's only been a year... but here's to many more! I'm happy we're here together!! ♡♡
congrats on one year!! here's to many more <3 your little cottage feels like such a wonderful little respite from the wider web and im excited to see it grow further, get well soon!
@tabi @kiley the two of you are such sweethearts, thank you for the well wishes! I'm happy that my site can be a respite!! ♡♡
Gave my ship a much needed makeover since it was lacking in (Whimsy)... ALSO I started including commentary for the different ships! More of that (and pairings!) to come when I can think straight "OTL
Oh, next update on this bad boy I'd like to include tropes and stuff that I enjoy!
Added new (old) links, fanart, and sozai/pixel goodies to Princess Guard, along with cleaning up some typos ♡
New diary entry about a bunch of different things. I'm also working on an update for my photo album!
I feel your mood at incompletely archived sites on the Wayback machine. I'm so bummed when going to a graphic site that's full of broken links. :( That's someone's hard work now lost to time
@divergentrays it's a huge bummer! You have to feel for the artists, coders, and everyone/everything was involved in making a website! Imagine that person wanting to look back on it years later, you know? ; __ ;
@ inkcaps youre very welcome. cant wait to see what you add next! and thank you as well! :D - i think she knows it too lol she makes me laugh when she poses for the camera when i dont even have a camera with me
totally with you on your sentiments about archived sites - it really is a rush to go back and find old sites. one of my favorite activities to do online! while I wish all of a site was archived, it's nice to see that some remnant of it still exists. Your Aerith shrine is sooo cute as well!
@amy it's been one of my favorite things to do lately as well! Even if a site isn't archived in its entirely, it's still nice to see the pieces that still do. And thank you for your words about my Aerith shrine, it's my pride and joy haha!! ;u; ♡
I watched a lot of movies over the holiday weekend so I wanted added my reviews for them! * __ *
Also my Aerith shrine grindset continues... uploaded some more old sozai and artwork!! AND I found the link to an old Japanese webring for Aerith fans too, which is just a delight
Your Aerith shrine is so in-depth and passionate! O7 Can't wait for the meta analysis!! I have fond memories of playing the OG FF7 on PC several years ago.... believe it or not, I didn't even know about a certain famous / infamous major plot point going in. Fun to play and experience blind!
Also I know you'll probably write about it later in your other ships, but I also wanna know your thoughts on Zack lol
@amy thank you so much!! Wow, that must have been so fun to play blind, that's a special experience nowadays! A friend of mine played the OG blind a few years ago and it was such a joy to watch all the twists through her eyes. Lately I've been itching to write some Aerith meta so maybe I'll do that soon!! ♡♡
@amy as for Zack... lmao. I actually hadn't planned on writing a lot about Zack/Aerith since I didn't want to be mean, but the TL;DR is that while it's interesting that Aerith has an ex, how Zack and her relationship with him is conveyed in the various spinoff titles has many writing issues for me. It's nothing personal at all for fans of the character and ship (lord knows FFVII has a ship war problem)--
--but neither are for me! I'd be intrigued about exploring fandom depictions outside the context of the compilation though! (like I mentioned on my shrine, I'm not a fan of titles like CC, etc). Sorry for the rambling responses, like admittedly there's a lot I could say LOL but what do you think of him?? :o
will forever be in awe of your Aerith shrine ;; when i have the time i'm excited to sit down and read it in full, but even from a skim it's clear how much work and passion you've put into it, what a fantastic tribute!!
@beyondthesky you just made my day! Seriously, your kind remarks made my heart swell, thank you so much! Aerith deserves the very best, haha! ;u; There's a bunch I have planned for it, so I hope you enjoy what's in store!! ♡♡
@inkcaps / sarah, (to keep it brief lol) as for me Aerith > Tifa, so I've always preferred that pairing for Cloud over Tifa. I like Zack, but since I'm kind of a hopeless romantic I don't really like bittersweet pairings lol... So Cloud x Aerith it's been for me. Love triangles / OP3 pairings aren't my cup of tea. Cloud x Sephiroth is fun to read when I'm in the mood for it though lmao
Also while I like Zack, I did NOT like the game mechanics for CC. They suck. So annoying, especially in the original. Plus all of the missions ?!
Small diary entry up! I hope that wherever you are, you are staying cool and comfortable! ;w;
This makes me want to read the Twilight Princess manga +_+ Also, I understand. I’ve been feeling lethargic and not wanting to write as well. I wish Us both Luck
@mala there's definitely mixed reaction from fans and there are some aspects I don't care for, but the parts where it succeeds the manga just soars! The art is incredible as well which is always a perk too! I'm wishing us luck too though, and I'm sending you Good Writing Juice too (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
I've heard the Twilight Princess manga mentioned before but wow this makes me want to read it as well. TP isn't one of my favorite games, but mainly due to the gameplay. I actually really like the story, so this sounds fantastic
@mutterbutter would love to hear your thoughts on it if you decide to read it! It takes some really fascinating approaches with the games themes!
Cleaning up some pages~
