We're getting esoteric in Sarahland, babey!! Do any of you have experiences with the concept of "thin places?"

( But the REAL question is if I'll be up to coding/designing proper list CSS for my diary entry instead of dashes)

OH, and I gush a bit about the original stage production of Into the Woods in my media log. That show really makes me unlock my final form lol ;u;

Do you ever get thin place vibes in non-organic spaces? Like bathrooms? Ever watch dead mall videos?

@amy I've definitely got those vibes from stage theaters before! Something about them feel so electric. I loooveeee dead mall/abandoned place videos, they're fascinating haha!

Cleaning up some pages~

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 you're doing better!

@manyface that's very kind, thank you! ;w; I'm glad too!

happy you're feeling better! <3

@amy thank you, I am too!! <3

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!! ♡♡

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? ; __ ;

love the layout and graphic styles of your site :D

@tinypaws you're so sweet, thank you!! Your puppy is too cute ;w;

@ 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 ?!
