Cold
So I've been, for the last two weeks, absolutely obsessed over coding this website. My friends think it's cool that I'm so dedicated, and luckily I don't have a lot of homework right now, but it's really REALLY occupying all of my attention; like I can barely think about other stuff.
The benefit to this is that the site is looking GREATTTTT, but yeah, it's slightly worrying.
On the other side, my intention with the site IS to make everything as interactible and fun to look at as possible, so all of these new sections, small details and visual overhauls are going a really long way to make the website look like something I can be proud of.
Anyway, let's change subject. I really like THE COLD
: like, especially now that temperatures are starting to rise, and that I get to remember how shitty it feels to go through a hot, sunny day, I realize that I'm really comfortable in the cold. Part of it is that sweat just freaks me out, but isn't heat just so much more suffocating than cold? I usually quote Nobita from Doraemon when talking about this:
"If it's cold, you can always put on more clothing, but summer is hot even if you strip naked"
I had to search how he said it, but I heard it in an episode a few years ago and I've held it close to my heart ever since as a confirmation that at least someone gets me. (Nobita is a freaking loser so I don't know if that is really a good thing)
Ok, but aside from actual arguments, isn't the cold just so much cooler (pun intended) than the heat? Like, I appreciate a nostalgic summer memory as much as the next girl, but try to remember what memories are the ones that stick to us the most;
if your answer was anything related to the night, a summer storm or a late afternoon, THEN THAT PROVES MY FREAKING POINT.
At the end of the day, it's not that the cold is somehow less uncomfortable than the heat, but that the cold brings certain emotions in us that the heat simply doesn't. A hot day can be exciting or relaxing, but I'm a sensitive young adult with a particular passion for bittersweet emotions, so the cold seems much more interesting to me.
The cold is a time of isolation and death, but it also makes us feel nostalgic and
loving. It's a feeling that inspires reflection and intimacy, but also sadness.
And the fact that a simple change in temperature or a chilly breeze can instantly make me feel like that is magical to me.
It's the cold of a summer night, the breeze hugging my legs when the train doors open, the cold air leaking from the crevices in between my windows and the wall, taking off my jacket even though it's still cold enough to wear it, that makes me feel truly alive some days. I take any opportunity I got to feel the cold while it lasts, because there is beauty in the cold; there is life in the hostility of coldness. Life that is memory in itself, but life nontheless.
I'll leave you with two cold recommendations in case you're also sick of the heat: Tokyo Godfathers is a christmas comedy movie made by Japan's former and very missed greatest: Satoshi Kon. The film is almost an exercise in writing that manages to create a plot that, despite relying on sheer luck, manages to feel not only coherent but deeply emotionally satisfying.
The characters are fantastic, the comedy and animation are great, and every shot of the outside feels rightfully Chilly
.
On the other side, if what you're searching for isn't a movie that only happens to occur during the winter, but something that feels like the very depths of your cold, cold heart, then maybe Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, by Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman is for you! The film is emotionally heavy, dealing with themes of depression and relationships, but if you think you can deal with Jim Carrey at his most gut-wrenching, I heavily reccomend it.
Here's some music from the film which also somehow manages to feel COLD.

Fanfics are cool and my brain is dumb
So, a few months ago I read my first piece of fanfiction. It was a genderswap version of Porco Rosso where everyone stayed the same except Marco was a woman pilot named Marie who had turned into a fox and who flew a Macchi M.33 (the gorgeous seaplane that mainly inspired the look of Porco’s sadly fictional Savoia S.21).
Fortunately, though the fanfic went into Marie and Fio’s relationship, the author did have the common sense to age up Fio, and generally speaking I really liked the story.
But here’s the thing; why is that still the only piece of fanfiction aside from what my shadow writes that I have ever read? It’s not like I’m forcing myself to read fanfics, but I just know I like them, so what the fuck am I doing?
I think my brain is just kinda dumb like that: like, everything that deviates from what I already do feels less like a possibility and more like background noise that I have learned to filter out. My shadow had to literally remind me that it was okay for me to read and write fanfiction, for me to go on and try it out.
But anyway, the point is I liked it! I’m also trying to write a version of that deleted Gravity Falls subplot about grunkle Stan teaching Wendy how to shoplift, and I’m beta reading for my shadow’s 'EPIC: the musical' fanfic which, by the way, is really good and you should go and read it right now.
And while you’re there, might as well leave some kudos and a comment, right?
⇒RIGHT?⇐
But really, if you did that, you would be actively supporting my shadow’s mental health by making it giggle into oblivion, so if you’ve listened to Epic I really suggest reading it.
In completely unrelated fashion, I really like Édith piaf’s version of ‘Non, je ne regrette rien’.
Like there’s something about how she pronounces the Rs that just scratches my brain in all the right places. Like she’s the most frenchiest of french; it’s amazing.

Credits
Pls don't sue me :(
While I'm going to try and give credit to everyone I can, I'm not perfect and I may forget to save links and to give the proper credit that someone asked for. If you want me to remove or give proper credit to any of the graphics or images in this site, you just need to ask in my Cbox chat and I'll do it as soon as I see it.
SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE!
Graphics that can be clicked will link to their sources, and these credits have their own section in the graphics collection page! If you want to use any of these them, the safest road is to give credit if they are linked to a source.
My own stamps, buttons, userboxes and other graphics, which all link to my graphics subpage, are F2U without credit, but if you were to use them, consider passing through the Guestbook and leaving a message! It would be very appreciated.
Favicons are not directly linked. You can find their sources in the graphics collection page, but I'll also share them here:
-The snow favicons.
-The blue favicons.
-The exclamation point favicon.
Gifs were taken or created from a multitude of sources such as Gifcities or the 99 Gif shop.
Some images in the cool illustration sections will be directly linked to their source upon clicking!
Some background fish and other illustrations were found in oldbookillustrations.com, but their images won't be directly linked to avoid unnecessary click interactions. Here are the sources:
-Most background fish are taken from here.
-The Dragonfish in the background.
-The Hammerhead Shark in the background.
-The Straighthead Soldierfish in the background.
-The Octopus in the background.
-The moby dick in the background and the illustration of moby dick in the first cool illustration section were drawn by Rockwell kent.
Some images have been taken and edited from the sprite files of Undertale and Deltarune. These sprites have been found through The Spriter's Resource.
Fonts taken from Google fonts: Danfo, Playwrite GBJ, Rubik Marker Hatch, Pirata One, Seaweed script and Crete Round.
Fonts taken from Dafont: Daydream.
Fonts taken from Int 10 H: IBM Bios.
Fonts taken from this reddit post: Omori and blackspace fonts.
Pets and webrings are also directly linked.

And thanks to you for checking out my site!!
Changelog
So, I have already said this in the newest text entry, but I have been completely and utterly obsessed with coding for the last two weeks and-a-half.
It's kind of worrying but hey! The site is looking GORGEOUS.
I have created the graphics collection section and heavily updated the look of a lot of stuff.
You will probably also find a lot more details packed in every page, which is a direct consequence of my sleep-deprived brain.
Enjoy!
13/04/2025: Created Graphics collection section!
12/04/2025: Finished writing and formatting the second text entry.
Created a new format for the Credits section.
11/04/2025: Edited the Credits section.
10/04/2025: I added Oneshot's sun to the bottom of the site.
09/04/2025: Finished decorating my ID card and added an HP bar (I don't know how I'm going to use it but I'm sure it's gonna be fun!)
Updated userbox bar to be interactible and to show only one userbox at a time, with arrow to go through them.
I also added Mysteryman to the site! Is it offensive to categorize them as a pet? Nahhhhhhh.
08/04/2025: Added a Coprinus Comatus shroom to the pets section! How far can we stretch the concept of pets?
Replaced the first cool illustration with an 'about me' section. The section is trying to look like an ID or a character stats screen, but I'm not very happy with how it's looking atm.
Also added userboxes under the ID card. Still not looking great, tho.
07/04/2025: Added many more blinkies under the text entries section! I tried to make this bunch of blinkies be the part of the site that shows what I stand for and against, so that the buttons on top of the site can be warnings about the site, and so the stamps can be decorational.
I'm still not completely done but my intention is to make every graphics section have its own use.
I decided to clean up some of the code of the site to make development slightly easier, while fixing some code. I'm uploading this despite it being kind of an insignificant update because I'm joining a deltarune webring and they ask applicants to have the button code already up and running when you send the application.
06/04/2025: Cleaned up some of the code to make it more readable for me.
I deleted the website hit counter because it was becoming a pain in the ass, since 99% of the hits came from me, hence rendering the entire concept useless. I looked around for better alternatives but didn't find any that I liked, so I just got rid of it and replaced it with a 'thank you' gift at the bottom of the site.
05/04/2025: Got some more stamps for Rom's shrine.
Also added some details to the main page.
04/04/2025: Created and added a Tamanotchi to the pets section!
Also spent an innecessary long amount of time making Samuel stamps for the Samuel shrine.
In this new update I've tried to give the whole website as it is a subtle overhaul that will make things easier to the eyes.
I haven't changed any of the aesthetic but I have removed and moved around some sections that felt off, as well as polishing some code here and there.
In general, I also tried to make it easier for me to keep updating the site with the mini-shrines, text entries and more.
Hope you enjoy! ^^
03/04/2025: Wrote the first entry!
Also created a BUNCH of Studio Ghibli stamps wich took me AGES.
Joined the Undertale Fanlist!
Created two empty shrines for Studio Ghibli and Samuel.
02/04/2025: DELTARUNE TOMORROW!!! The trailer for Deltarune chapters 3 and 4 came out today, and it's looking really cool!
Anyway, I made it so that you can cycle through a few images of Berenice when you click on her image in her mini-shrine.
I also deleted the 'About Me' section at the top of the main page, and created a retro-looking window in its place that will serve as the text entry log.
01/04/2025: Changed up the Social media icons in the 'Links' section to make them more visible.
Created a section under the Shrines menu to store old mini-shrines from the 'Current hyperfixation' section.
Created a new mini-shrine of Berenice, from 2024 hit animated show 'Samuel'.
31/03/2025: Created a new door for the shrines page and changed the javascript code around to help me be able to add as many doors as I need without trouble next time.
I changed around some stuff that had to be updated such as dates.
Solved some stuff with fonts not loading in, and changed the position of the 'Links' section from the main body to the right bar.
25/03/2025: Hiya! It's been a while, but here I am again! Today I wanted to get back into the whole coding thing, so I added a tiny section to my one and only Shrine and practiced with some audio files shenanigans.
There's nothing much to talk about, but I'm planning to do some file cleaning and to add some shrines and update some stuff!
1/12/2024: I finished making a shrine for my Shadow!!! :333333
The main site and shrines page should work correctly, and that's about it for update 1.2! A layouts and shrines update. Yeah that's it.
29/11/2024: I finally made the website center itself and undid all that remained of my attempt at making a responsive design. Now whatever the display size is, at the very least it'll look not broken, even if teeny tiny.
17/11/2024: after a few tweaks that still haven't fixed the fact that my website breaks at the minor screen change, I started creating the shrines hub page, and making it so the doors are clickable and they open before bringin you to the linked shrine.
The shrine page hub is heavily inspired if not copied from Temmie Chang's room design in Undertale, and by taking a look at the doors you'll probably notice they are straight up taken from Sans and Papyrus's home. Sorry 'bout that Paps!
these few days I've focused on getting back into the rhythm of coding by cleaning up some of the more evidently lacking or ugly parts of the site. I'll try to focus on creating new stuff from now on, so expect one of the subpages to be created next update.
Also, a GuestBook is up and running now, so if you found this site please don't hesitate to leave a note!
In general, I kinda just made my code into a timebomb waiting to completely destroy my site at the minor inconvenience. That's the update; enjoy it.
14/11/2024: Created GuestBook, made the design (somewhat) responsive.
12/11/2024: Created button links widget.
8/11/2024: Discovered how to make Absolute positioning work.
7/11/2024: Changed layout to accomodate future changes, also discovered my chat doesn't work anymore.
25/08/2024: Added shine to links!
And the first page of the website is finished!! The next updates will be focused on creating all the other sections, since this one was so hard to put toghether. :P
22/08/2024: Added the last background fish and yet another swimming Marcy drawing, neated up some code and created the "My Art" section.
Created a guestbook sidebar link button and covered it with an under-construction sign.
Added the last Marcy to the bottom of the website.
Neated up the website for the finishing touches and...
21/08/2024: The website is looking more cool than ever with all these fishes!
Added some extra fish to the background, created a "My pets" section, added another marcy drawing to the background, created most sidebar link buttons and covered them with an under-construction sign.
The links aren't usable because there are no pages to link them to yet. Added oveflow responsiveness to "About" section.
20/08/2024: Updated color of current hyperfixation's text, made the buttons non-blurry, added a border to the counter, added website buttons section, changed the layout of both sidebars so items are more far apart, drew and added myself in OC form into the background, added most background fish.
19/08/2024: Created un-stylized index, second illustration, and added stamps and buttons to section 2 and 3.
Reformated some sections and got rid of unnecesary classes.
Created "Current hyperfixation" section.
18/08/2024: I edited the containers to make them nicer!
Added media bar, animated water background for containers, animated fish in the header, animated construction sign in To-do list, created social media icons, added blinkies under media tab, added "Under construction" sign on music player section, added webrings meme placeholder.
17/08/2024: Today I tried to make a dynamic music player but realized how hard it is and decided to call it quits.
Added dynamic music player placeholder, changed default font to Playwrite GBJ, added view counter, added world wide web logo, added bottom text, changed tab title and created favicon, created and added creepy button.
16/08/2024: Created new and improved banner with lightrays coming down, added cool illustration on second section, added description to illustration, added titles to sections.
Couldn't do much more because I hung out with my shadow!! <3
15/08/2024: got REALLY tired of flexbox, decided to not make the website responsive for now. TT
Added live Chat! Replaced most buttons with bubble dividers.
14/08/2024: Added buttons inbetween sections to act as dividers, created new border designs, added scroll function to To-do and Changelog sections.
Got tired of flexbox not doing what I want it to.
WHYYYYY
13/08/2024: Created header section with title and banner image, changed noise png, downloaded custom fonts.
12/08/2024: Today I started working on the look of the website.
