updates & to-do

Update 1.0 "The Unfuckening", 10 July 2025

• so I literally have no clue what's new and what isn't bc my computer borked itself and I lost all the progress I made on the next update and I can't remember what I have redone and what I haven't. if I don't mention something new, that's because I thought it was something lost in the great fuckening
• I know I redid the works page. this one is even better than the first rework, so I'll take it. the theme is by numbedpilled on tumblr with some color editing and broken bits that I can't figure out how to fix
• I added some things to the library, the bookshelf in particular. there is a lot missing tho and updating the library is tedious and time-consuming and I don't remember what I had added so that will have to wait
• uhhhh I think I changed some of the wizardry pages? to better reflect the projects I'm working on? that would be the worldbuilding page. also made some other changes tho. can't remember what.
• oh yeah, also that minecraft page? totally not accurate anymore. my world is now about a year or so behind what it was and the only working version is in 1.20.4. I am still trying to update all my mods and resource packs and crying in the process.
• the homepage theme is different. that one is definitely new. I never really dug how much pink there was before, it's just that was the only egg background I liked and I themed the page around that. this time there are eggs with sauce, itty bitty frogs, and cute little mushrooms. these are all things I find endearing so I made them fit together.
• I think I changed the Shora page? I'm pretty sure I did that twice. Oh and I changed the spelling of Shora again, but did not change the name in the code bc that's asking too much of me.
• I'm definitely going to update the first chapter of Red Handed at some point, but not sure if I wanna wait until I have finished editing the second chapter or not. either way the new chapter one is done and will be out soon if not in this update. the same is true for the second chapter which just needs a few more pages and then some editing.
• I did a lot of aesthetic changes like fonts and a new/updated css thing. there's probably a lot of that that I am not remembering.
• I added a button in the "find me elsewhere" section, it leads to the neocities club discord which I am in fact a member of. I am there, you may @ me, if you'd like. speaking of, you are welcome to talk to me on tumblr as well. I am not advanced enough to be comfortable setting up comments on my site, so both of those are the best way to contact me. I don't think anyone reads these, so I will make a note here to mention this in my about me in the near future.
• I redid the about me. it now has a brief description of me and what I'm like and a much less brief description of my writing and what it's like. priorities lmao
• I have added buttons but I have no hope of remembering which ones are new, which ones I added the first time around but are no longer there or anything. I usually keep track by adding them to my updates page as I update them but we see how that worked out, huh. I will say the new ones are always at the bottom bc I literally list them in order that I find them and put in the effort to link them.
• should I give my updates names? I feel like that would be fun. this update has a name now. I'm calling it 1.0 bc it feels like I've finally gotten out of the testing stuff out phase and settled into something I like. obviously this will immediately change once this update is live, but whatever. (yes, I'm treating my site updates like video game updates bc I'm a nerrrrrd)
• so I made this layout, should I release a template for it? it's not like it's anything complicated, but I am pretty proud of it and I know it's fairly simple for beginners (bc I am a beginner lmfao). food for thought I suppose
• also thinking of starting a book club that's like... chill? idk man, other book clubs are a lot of pressure. you want to me to read this one book I might not even like in a month? sounds like a deadline. I didn't even do that when it was REQUIRED to pass my english class. so my thought is that it's a bookclub with a reading list that you're free to read whenever and however. and maybe we all keep a little checklist of all the books we've read that are on the reading list? and we write little reviews for them so that everyone can get multiple opinions on the books? I've actually thought about this a lot, so don't be surprised if it shows up in the next update
• you know, one of these days, I'm gonna get around to finishing the wizardry pages. I know I still have to do the D&D one. I was planning to put summaries of my campaigns there bc my groups can get wild and fun. but also was thinking of putting campaign notes for DMs there? oh, bc I'm a DM (always) and I write all my campaigns myself. I usually homebrew quite a lot as well. it would be a lot of work though, bc for every thing that I meticulously homebrew in advanced, there's seven things I just straight up fabricate on the spot. I don't write things down while playing (literally don't have the time) and while I do have a pretty good memory for these things (I have great story recall lol), playing with four other people who can help you recall details is a bit different than trying to document everything yourself

19 November 2024

• finally figured out how to code using notepad++. can finally stop being a noob and doing it in neocities.
• added mindscape page on the wizard's side (legilimency)
• started adding noodles to the mindscape page, but it'll take a while to get it all there. my brain is scattered over various notebooks and smartphone applications lol
• renamed experiments page to the tome of lore (titled worldbuilding)
• added forbidden knowledge to the worldbuilding page
• added some noodles for the forbidden knowledge section
• redid a lot of the internal working for the site, though those aren't visible changes
• added the minecraft page on the wizard's side
• honestly a lot. tried to document it all but I certainly missed something. go explore.

27 October 2024

• added dictionaries for the 'mystic tongues' on the experiments page. they are by no means complete or up to date with the actual size of the dictionaries. I'm going to have to manually transfer all the vocabulary to this site from my phone, and considering I haven't even transferred everything from my notebooks to my phone, it might take like... weeks. it's also not a priority so it'll probably be longer unless someone actually cares enough to yell at me on tumblr about it, which I doubt. curse my love of stationary ig
• speaking of, I'm currently working on getting all my notes on how to use the languages together. the state of *that* mess is even worse than my dictionaries, though there's considerably less material. anyway, notes on the phonetics, the grammar, and the writing scripts are in the works. please be patient while I collect it all and dump it into a google doc and try to organize it.

26 October 2024

• added Chapter One of Red-Handed. it's like the third draft I've made for this version and I'm finally somewhat happy with it, but it might undergo editing at some point bc I'm prone to throwing fits. glad I can finally move on though
• added wizardry page. it's a bit hidden, have fun lookng for it.
• added experiments page. in the wizardry part of the site. right now, it only lists my side projects, but eventually I'll actually add all the notes, details, and assorted documents for each one.

19 October 2024

• have actually done a lot since last update, but been too lazy to document it lol
• added Feartober page
• posted Somniphobia on the Feartober page. I am wayyyyy late for every other prompt unfortunately, but all of them will be done eventually. slow writer things.
• updated All Works page so it's no longer ugly
• added some buttons I think? for gifcities, melonland, solaria, fizzsea, cyber rot, corru.observer, squidknees, slashdiv, doqmeat, and the neocities SoHo neighborhood (which I will make a communities section for later). it's a lot. I also changed the button for the 88x31 collection to match the one they actually made lol
• made some buttons for the site. one is 88x31 and another is 32x32. they are egg-themed :P
• speaking of which, I added a subtitle to the site name. it's a nod to name of the homepage theme which is "eggs with (pink) sauce"
• added "other links" to the right sidebar. only has the poolsuite link for now, but I'm sure more sites will be found
• did some minor decoration. added favicons and cursors and the like.
• thinking about adding a music shelf to the library
• also thinking of making a witchy/wizard page. just for some fun.
• had the thought that I should have a page for all my worldbuilding projects since that's where half the time I should spend writing goes. this would include things like the fictional languages I've made for my works and other projects based on existing IPs. no spoilers for any of my own works though.

12 September 2024

• added the library. it's mostly empty, but I'll add stuff over time.
• redid the homepage... AGAIN. it's egg themed now :P
• got rid of the music entirely
• did some stuff to spruce up the site. custom cursors, etc.

9 September 2024

• finally did the work page for Shoera. it didn't end up anything like I've been imagining, but I think it fits the concept at least.
• continuing in that vein, I added download buttons for the prologue on the Shoera page. I just thought it'd be a nice QOL feature to have. I'll have to design a button for Red Handed as well for when I post there.
• speaking of Red Handed, next on my to-do list is to finish chapter one, so like... let's hope it's out soon, yeah?
• I'm pretty sure I added some buttons today? oh yeah, added Bechno's Hideout, appledust, kalechips and Jade Everstone. all of them are pretty cool, so check those out.
• I'm actually running out of blinkies so I will be looking for more of those soon. right now, both my work pages are looking pretty blinkie-less.

8 September 2024

• redid the homepage. again. I think I'm happy with it now, so hopefully it won't be changing too much in the future. might still change some of the colors. but it's mobile friendly now so yay!
• turned auto play off for the music. mostly because it was annoying me while I was working on the site. I do prefer it for browsing tho... we'll see.
• added a favicon! it's a little fired egg. idk eggs are just my Thing for whatever reason, so it's an egg.
• wanna add a custom cursor but don't currently know how. add that to the to-do list lol
• on that note, still don't know what to do with the work page for Shoera. wanna do something cool with it, but don't actually have anything in mind yet.

28 August 2024

• redid theme for Red Handed page. it now looks very cool and better fits the tone of the novel
• (on that note, next thing is to do the theme for the Shoera page. she's looking mighty pathetic rn)
• edited some stylesheet stuff. no outward changes for this, but the code is much neater now
• also cleaned up the organization of my images so if anything is broken, that's why
• changed 'current mood'. there's now a kirby and a lil guy reading in the corner :D
• doing a lot of test work for themes and css right now, so you might see some things get rearranged or change colors. specifically trying to fix up the homepage and put more work into customizing my other pages

10 August 2024

• added buttons for eggramen, repth, foolslovers, plasticdinos, nostalgic and mazeguy. they really helped me out so check out their sites
• completely rehauled the theme for the homepage. she looks so different.
• rehauled the theme for the about me. it's good enough for now, but will probably change some colors around at some point
• added a music player. it only has like ten songs though, so it's probably pretty repetitive. sorry about that.
• want to customize all the pages to be unique, especially for my works, but don't know how to make it cohesive. does it need to be cohesive? I'm the only one here lmao

08 August 2024

• added pages for Red Handed and Shoera. summaries are up and they should be fully functional, though some links won't work I'm sure.
• uploaded Prologue One for Shoera
• added tumblr and ao3 links on homepage. they don't work anywhere else yet lol
• updated 'things I'm interested in' and 'musings' sections of about me
• updated homepage to include 'how this place works'
