About
Got tired of the journal template thing editing wise so I made this microblog with testingrange’s template but I switched the layout colours to resemble windows XP.
Welcome

Rainy weather.
It’s super humid. Not in the hurricane area though right now so it’s just rain.
Went to a thrift store and it was super huge! I’ve never been to one that big. There was a stuffed temmie plush I was gonna get but when I looked the neck was ripped.
I bought a book from a series called the mortal instruments because I was in the book section and only saw the back description. Very noisy, a bunch of kids . Something stunk the whole time.
I saw some cute starter pokemon plushies at the gas store station but they were all $20… they were super small so I was like “my bad” when I asked. Crazy how big the gap was compared to the thrift store literally down the street.
Kind funny that were two dollar stores like right next to each other. What’s the point of that.
Babies will start off as babies and then before your very eyes they’ll be like teenagers on their phones and the passage of time will make you go “weren’t you like 5 last time.” Crazy work.
I ended up redownloading cookie run ovenbreak and kingdom. i don't think anything from my old account saved in kingdom so there goes my limited time BTS and disney units. it's probably a fresh slate for it.

Road trip car ride portion took so long it’s already the next day
9.27
The cars got stuck in front of the cars so now the whole place had to be waiting for the cars to be fixed
It’s when you get up to leave to do something else is when the traffic starts moving again.
I’ve been typing everything out with an HTML editor app on my tablet. It’s nice, but I wish it didn’t shove a premium ad into my face every time I open it.
If the page looks awful when I upload it though I literally did it right before I went to sleep and I'll fix it when I come back home. bye.

Since my site creation date is august 4th, I wondered if there was any like, prominent character who existed who shared the same birthdate as the site.
I’ve got Cure heart. Sure. I guess.
I think the part that would get me excommunicated from the precure community minus the fact I haven’t watched a precure since Mahou tsukai is that since I recently watched both glitter forces I straight up do not remember what Mana sounds like in the subs, she’s been erased by the English VA. Who pretty much only registers in my mind as Jimmy neutron.
You know how people get like damage stacked whenever they remember that like English brawl Lucas’s voice was also rogue the bat and bubsy’s VA at one point.
Crossover fighters are kind of funny conceptually because like the nick one has a competitive scene and same with the warner bros one I think but since CN was shoved into that merger we’re probably not getting a CN fighting game again
What about MUGEN.
Mugen’s pretty good with making fighters for everything though. I still vaguely remember frequenting sprite fight exhibitions during classes and like when YouTube recommended me various showcases and being like “well, if it’s a KOF or melty blood edit it might win, but if it’s a DBZ edit it might lose.” “Never bet on DBZ.” 50-50 chance. If it’s a little sprite of a guy the hitbox might be stupid small.

Sorting through my notes from cohost stuff from my Pokémon centric page before I get fully dragged on this family trip and it’s mad funny that I was so confused by the way Pokémon masters explained Riley’s aura thing as “vibes” but I mostly know aura from like “Chad aura memes” and then the explanation from Pokémon adventures is “guys it’s literally just the force.” I think masters was them trying to not make it as obvious.
I might watch through Lucario and the mystery of Mew, it’s probably on an app I’ve got somewhere from when Pokémon TV got sundered. That list of apps where things went to like multiple things was still insane to look at though, collect my pokemon seasons type of thing.
Look I’m gonna be honest, if I can make a Pokémon trainer that is literally just Goku then I’m gonna go for it and justify it in universe. My brain already clearly broke from my rule when I decided lore accurate 100% Myosotis can cause the apocalypse because of female symbol Missingno.
I think it’s a lot better to have self imposed limits and rule sets within a story solely so if looks cooler when characters find exploits to break the rules and their limitations with loopholes.
that's to say, I basically don't even follow the ruls and notes I make for myself half the time.

I hope I don’t come off as truly too negative about Pokémon. It tends to sink in a lot of areas where I should give more praise but instead I talk about like creative visions and stifling and opinionated borderline whining sessions of things that have been set in stone for years like story decisions and feelings of stagnation by playing more edited projects and looking at older material and not having as much interest in the later things as much as I’m continuing to enjoy older content.
But I don’t think I could have full devotion and adoration for something without pointing out some things that I’m petty or weird over. Like there’s no truly 100% perfect media, but having a critical eye over everything gets tiresome too. Its about having fun. It’s all about a balancing act. I’ll be sure to talk more about the things I like as well especially once the neocities side page recreation is completed.
9.26.24
FF14 was pretty good for like saving my life from becoming like an absolute jerk during pandemic time but the writing style and colloquialisms it’s inflicted on me is giving me such a hassle because like words like “prithee” and “mayhaps” and “milord” and “remiss” and “needs be” and “prudish” and “harlot” have slipped into multiple notes and multiple Shakespeare references because Urianger has become my ghostwriter. The thing is I also say Milord in real life now like in my vernacular.
It would be fine if it was a medieval AU but this is supposed to be a modern person unless she retroactively becomes a LARPer

don't let me give characters last names because I'll go to names.org and ignore them and start coming up with some dumb things on the spot
Probably never getting a name as cheesy as Myosotis Apocalypse which does pretty much sum her up as a character huh
Goes between “the dumbest” or “maybe the coolest” name.
9.26.24
I feel like interviews are the most nerve wracking thing on earth and me admitting like
"idk what job this is for i signed up for so many" probably flubbed it
it wasn't even paid though so maybe it's for the best.
9.26
So like, when you feel like you’re about to throw up, is it normal to start like salivating or is that too much info/not normal
9.26.24
When you use youtube without logging in its a total roulette between content slop or the worst most hateful things you’ve ever seen because the algorithm is completely fried to just send things that are the total opposite of what you look at because it’s picking up a lot of things that are trending and getting a lot of views
That one tweet that’s like “arguments are some guy getting mad at an imaginary person in their head” can apply to every single part of the internet. It’s kind of like the rent free guy where he’s basically just imagined the entire world as being like his world (tm). But it’s not your world or my world, because it’s actually Sonic’s world, and we’re living in it.
Retro engine sonic…
Sonic’s more of an arcade kind of guy than Mario since 1 was built on scores but like, does anyone actually care about scores in video games these days? It’s all about like, completion and 100% or speedrunning or whatever.

Google searches have been tarnished for years
Twitter gives me poison stacks
Therefore only one place can possibly get me set inspiration.
Back to the Pinterest mines.
I’m a big fan of that white bear thing that’s always showing up on my feed yelling like. Same.
9.26
The fashion inspiration thing for leaf and blue initially came from Pinterest so I’m just returning to my age old drawing inspiration sources.
Fire red is a dog but pixiv red is a cat. The Pinterest mines have once again enlightened me. I already said that in my own fantasy headcanon thing where I was like “one’s a werewolf, the other is a vampire.”
I’ve seen some of these artists fanart on tumblr before and like that sucks but like imagine of the artists were also using Pinterest and uploading their own art there so no one can call them reposters
reposting sucks, stop that.
9.26.24
It’s kinda crazy to me that this site was dormant for years as an FF14 styled RP description kind of thing because I didn’t want to use a cardd and then this year I was like “dang I need to do something with my free time aside from job hunting since I got screamed at and harassed while trying to learn blender because I had to start job hunting literally that day when I was told I would start in June but May 27th apparently counted as June” and the trajectory of my life swung in such a weird direction in the spring and has only been going downhill afterwards. If I had done the revamp any earlier there’s a good chance everything here could’ve been Sonic themed. There’s still a chance it could become sonic themed since now that I’ve finished pokemon special until the next marathon up next is me probably reading through sonic comics since it’s been years since I read Archie or watched X. I’ve still got forces on my computer and like I’m heavily tempted to make my one catgirl OC I saw from years ago into a real sonic character. (Note to self: Please finish classic games first even though you suck at getting chaos emeralds, DO not make your catgirl OC real.)
thinking about my tastes though in terms of nostalgia those are definitely rose tinted in the form of “things seemed more fun when I was a kid because I didn’t have to worry about every single thing going wrong in my life because I could play them as soon as my homework was finished” and now it’s basically like I have to be doing the same thing I did in 4th grade where I’m up at 3 am playing games and constantly hiding the phone or switch under my pillow because I get yelled at for being lazy and unproductive playing in the day.
When you see me coding on the site in the middle of the night, this is what I look like:
i just wanted to say I'm probably never gonna be consistent on if I have date.year or not.

My background for the dream page (which I need to update eventually when I get another dream I don’t forget as soon as I wake up) is the fountain of dreams from Kirby. It was gonna be the NES version but I couldn’t get a good version if it off the Kirby wiki on time before the temporary image became the real one.
Kirby nightmare in dreamland is a remake that even though it’s got better hardware I think it completely sucks in a bunch of minor ways that make me sound super nitpicky but like you know the invincibility candies you get in random levels, meta knight throws them to Kirby but he doesn’t in the remake and the art style is like way worse than the OG. They didn’t even make butter building yellow. Nightmare’s final boss battle background where you can’t even tell it’s on the moon.
9.25.24
Writing up my media log thing for September but I'm probably not finishing it before this trip thingy
im still watching and reading through Isekai and like you remember SAO?
It’s kinda fascinating how like a ton of aspects of SAO were lifted for the Isekai genre like the gamification and menu things and people being sent to like medieval worlds and being normally overpowered but they didn’t take the consequence of “if you die in the game you’re just DEAD”. Or the only reason Kirito was like OP was like because he was a beta player who knew the ins and outs of the game (they called him a beater.)
When the heck did I watch SAO
Like, almost a decade ago
I saw it in a bookstore once (the light novel)
Season 2 sucked though lol
Do people still watch the OG? Probably, I feel like this might be another DBZA case where more people flocked to watching an “abridged” instead of the original
I think it’s streaming somewhere, I liked Sinon enough to the point she was like my SRB2Kart main (secondary was Hero Chao)
I haven’t played that game in years. Didn’t get into ring racers either. I think my kart skills evaporated once I got into FF14 (and now I’m sure once I get a better PC my FF14 skills will have evaporated too.)
I might have to retire the FF14 characters and just make a new character tbh, I’m thinking it will have been that long. Alt hopping is not for me.
9.25.24 I haven't uploaded this one yet to neocities because it was by default windows 96 but I'm more of an XP user... Today I gotta figure out how to make Tahoma font show up?! I should know this, I've installed font families before... For every month I'll probably just put them under a spoiler bar when the month ends.
9.25.24
Gonna feel really bad when I end up like, relogging back into cohost after the read only date and being like... oh.... yeah...
9.25.24
Somewhere in Nevada
New madness combat came out. Nice.

I’m trying to do a bunch of juggling stuff offscreen and flash drive hunts again since I’m working on what I’m calling like the “writing winter” update. A lot of stuff is going to be
fandom fics, probably pokemon. Or just ideas. Mostly ideas, I’m terrible with actually completing anything aside from a one shot. Call me one shot cuz I write it in one sitting.
Trying to keep writing and stories up to date when there’s like almost 1000+ of the guys sounds pretty nuts. I don’t think I’d attempt that because that sounds really hard.
What's my cutoff point then... idk, I think I'd write them as is based on their gen, like things from generations that were added retroactively like regional forms or new lore or stuff wouldn't show up.
I don't think pokemon is this largely complex kind of writing thing unless the writer makes it that, but I'm just a person who gets too busy looking at individual leaves instead of like the whole tree.
What about the masters lore thing...
That's more of a side thing because I had free time, which is starting to dwindle.
The pokemon masters depictions is like canon accurate, so I might take those personality traits for some characters and spin them with a fork like spaghetti tbh
I could just explain
"oh something happened differently so they act like this now." The joy of fanfic is not overthinking, and I am definitely overthinking.
9.25.24
I'm really glad that things like soundcloud wrapped don't exist because I know I'd get the greatest roasting like "I see you like listening to trash ass beats"
and generally like a lot less things could do with spyware installed. Twitter wrapped would probably be funny as hell though especially if it was a tweet like "I don't even remember making this."
9.25.24
Kinda crazy I’ve been living with someone who’s brain has been so fried by the internet that I feel like I’ve been living longer with them with their
internet brain than what was normal. Like I’ve mentioned it before but this person was just absorbed into doing nothing but
watching Facebook group chats and what’s app and TikTok’s all day during the pandemic and like their brain completely melted to the point that even when they’re
working from home I can still hear them doing nothing but Facebook reels while they’re supposed to be working. They always got mad whenever
I pointed out like “is that actually true” because why in the world would you wash fruit with soap, or other absurd stuff that people were
just posting on the fly. Trying to hold a conversation is impossible because they’re so busy trying to impose stuff from the things they’ve
watched or making us watch the videos and try to explain them and it’s so funny to them, laugh, why aren’t you laughing.
In terms of that person, we have absolutely nothing in common. There’s no overlap, they have no interest in what I’m doing and I dont want to engage with someone who makes fun of what I do and is just generally largely the opposite of how I am to the point we mostly end up fighting or they unprovoked start things.
I'm gonna be honest though my brain is also fried but in the opposite direction where I’m like “booo social media bad I hate videos being the default way to learn things I hate algorithms I hate AI.”
9.24.24 Forbidden glitch users lore, the only reason Ragon and Ultimus and Myo exist is because I was lazy in New Leaf and wanted 3 characters to be able to buy redd's paintings
as well and I didn't want to use preexisting characters like abandoned leaf or blue or blake/gold .
The very funny part is that Ketsuban was like an independent character and everyone else of the cast was made solely for just Ketsuban, glitch users is such a funny concept where I was like
"domain expansion, glitch city". The funnier part is that everyone is horribly overpowered cast
wise to the point that glitch May can stop time and it doesn't matter because like, the strongest glitch users can ignore time or can also control time.
There's multiple stories in the "glitchverse/rumorsverse" that run with each other in some kind of bizzare contrast and my favorite one is
"normal girl gets involved with glitches and rumors but is greatly inconvinienced to the point the genre forcibly changes to comedy" and the other one is also "normal girl gets involved with glitches and rumors but it ends in horror and tragedy"
and both of them are working terrible jobs but in wildly different circumstances (one is an archaelogist, the other is an actual glitch hunter.)
9.24.24
Kind of sick of the way I’m living.
It got to a point where there was another fight this week so I basically left and went on a walk for like an hour, no glasses, no keys, no phone. I’m sick of screaming.
I found a rock and threw it in some water and it made a plunk sound. Pretty much the only good thing that’s happened so far this week.
I’m not sure how much longer I can take of this mentally and it hasn’t even been a year since graduation.
I feel like sometimes my life is a bizzare bunch of bubbles and I’m floating in the ocean and then people just show up to pop all the bubbles and reduce me to nothing but water in the ocean. It certainly doesn’t feel like I’m “real” sometimes.
Brazil got unbanned from Twitter.
9.23.24
I recently changed my pfp to be the show I'm currently watching and one of my friends was like "not a fan of that show because the jokes didn't land and it was hard to take it serious"
and I was like in response "I was supposed to take it seriously...?" Like the show's premise seemed to be less about taking it seriously and more of "look at these cool fight scenes."
9.23.24
In terms of nostalgia, I’m probably not going to lean heavily towards a thing that I wasn’t even born in the time frame for and therefore have largely internet tinted glasses of
what other people have told me, so therefore it must’ve been true. I try not to have rose tinted glasses because a lot of things I enjoyed probably do not hold up. I like webcore, but not so much
"nostalgiacore" despite the fact they're basically in the same sphere. Like pandemic summer I got into mallsoft and stuff and like things that kind of resembled like, windows enduntainment type of things
but like I'd rather focus on both old AND new things.
I was mostly just looking through like, gif repositories of geocities like 99 GIF shop, and there's a lot of stuff that's still posted now.
I’m sure there were either shows that existed in that ethereal period that I did not live in but they did not survive
to have as many sites and Geocities gifts dedicated to them like cardcaptor sakura or inuyasha or sailor moon or EVA or DBZ or naruto or pokemon which like… pokemania
was a thing. It was a huge thing.
A lot of what was popular then still applies to now but I’m sure there are plenty of anime that just got completely dumped off the face of the earth and are now referred to as hidden gems.
Like in terms of lost photobucket signatures and tinypic and things that have been washed away like grains of sand… they did go hard as hell though.
9.23.24
I always wonder what the point is of being diligent or hard working in a world that doesn’t care regardless.
I wonder how people can look forward to the future because all I see is being stuck with this person for the rest of my
life because they think I’m too irregular to function. Nothing I do to explain or comply works.
9.22.24
Getting myself off YouTube in the summer was great for my mental concentration because videos were also no longer a 24/7 thing and my front page is no
longer full of people being like “THE NEXT GEN IS DOOMED, These tips to help you get a job using ChatGPT, why going to college ruined my life, How AI is going to ruin our lives”
and absolutely uncharacteristic things because normally I’d just watch anime clips and silent longplays and long music playlists.
Anyways, here’s a sample of another reason why I decided to get off youtube pre-summer
