Q: Why did you make this site?
A: why not lol
slightly more serious A: I was going through the worst period of burnout and a lot of things weren’t going in my favour and I wanted to work on something fun for myself which was this blog since I had the domain anyway. I randomly had the fun idea for a “toggle” into a more nostalgic theme to bring me back to my teenage years but I ended up liking that theme more so I just kept building upon it. I took part in a lot of online forums, created a lot of graphics using Photoshop (like the user bars and forum “sigs” in general), and was a big fan of Neopets (still am).
I had some ideas I wanted to build for free resources that others could use and figured it’d be a fulfilling project for me overall. I hope this site serves some use or is fun to you, whoever is reading this!
Q: Where are the songs from?
cafe playlist: willow tree, bake a pie, moonlit cafe
music box playlist: let go, platinum, replay, god knows, dan dan kokoro hikareteku, eyes on me, butter-fly, every heart, simple and clean, haru haru, shuffle, crucify my love, butterfly (ddr), everytime we touch, the fourth avenue cafe, invoke, just communication, kimi ni todoke, moon on the water, rolling star, sakura kiss, rolling star, seishun amigo, sk8er boi, sugar we’re goin down, to all tha dreamers, tsukiakari no michi shirube
the music box songs are all songs that have/had a lot of meaning to me, and they’re all from 2010 or earlier to better match with the theme. please enjoy and make sure to listen to the original songs, they’re all bangers ok ty. also please note i was going to stop at 5 but realized it was impossible so

Q: What can we expect from the blog?
A: in terms of frequency or cadence, nothing. i refuse to make any promises at this time because i’m still figuring a lot out (building this was healing but also i am definitely procrastinating on 3 other projects, oops).
Eventually though? I’ll be randomly sharing input and insights on some things I’ve seen around within the industries and communities I’m following – typically related to VTubers or the Content Creation spaces. Sometimes I’ll be using this as a more personal blog and to those that have followed me on Tumblr since 2010 (shoutout but also a callout to those that come up to me at conventions to tell me this, thank u but also are u ok), I really do hope I’ll be able to provide advice, guidance, or entertainment. Something that I’ve learned from those days as I built both a following and friends, is that it can mean so much to just not feel alone in your thoughts, feelings, or experiences. I don’t promise anything to that extent but if I’m able to help anyone through my silly words, thoughts, or resources on here for anything – that means the world to me.
I do encourage subscribing to the newsletter for timely updates to new posts and resources though.

Q: Do you have any plans on monetizing this site and the resources?
A: I plan on keeping everything on this site free! This is just meant to be an outlet for my silly thoughts and ramblings, and whatever I want to share that I think could be helpful to others. I’ll likely link my other projects and work if it makes sense (and maybe give out early access or discounts, if applicable, to anyone interested from this blog’s email list/newsletter) in the future.
