What doth one akin to thou seek?
Welcome to my website, a place of whimsy never before seen. Here, you can find my beautiful thoughts displayed for all to see. As a wannabe-girlknight and fan of medieval siege warfare, my current fixations reflect that. You can find a lot of talking about knight-related medias which you can find listed on the right, or a lot about music because I have an illness and it's called having to listen to something at all times or I explode and die.
A Manifesto of Mine Own Beliefs
Ss im sure you know, everyone who uses neocities is a hater of the new web- and that includes me. I think that the death of unique subcultures has kind of ruined the internet, no one wants to be unique anymore out of fear of being "cringe"-- open Instagram reels for half a second and look at the comments. I'm really only active on Tumblr, and even then it's to the extent of reblogging fanart and talking about KCD.
I don't do a lot of stuff on Instagram or Twitter or Snapchat or whatever the fuck else people these days use. I think that those sorts of sites ruined uniqueness. Everyone wants to have aesthetic Twitter bios and cute usernames and that's fine and dandy, do not twist my words otherwise, but I also miss the authentic wild beauty of the Internet. To me, a website coded by the hand and heart- even if you use a template- is a million times better than an Instagram feed highly tailored to the algorithm.
Anyhow, that's enough of my yammering on how an internet that will never exist is better than the AI fueled garbage that Twitter and Instagram are. Just visit my neighbors below, and lets call it a day, hm?
Featured media
Kingdom Come Delieverance has become one of my all time favorite games to ever exist in the history of gaming, and this video essay does a beautiful job at showing just how beautiful this game can be at times.
Game: Kingdom Come Delieverance
The KCD series has been a highly influental game despite the sequel only being out for 3ish months. It's revolutionized the way that people view video games and especially RPGs. It makes companies like Bethesda look embarassing. The failure of Starfield is only made worse with how amazing KCD2 has been in the immersive sim genre. Not only that, but it has a beautiful queer story that I find incredibly engaging. It has beautiful graphics, a very fun and at times, heartbreaking story, a lovely cast of characters who are really funny (Adder) and really sad (Adder)-- KCD2 is my number one game rec of this year and I doubt it will change. GOTY contender for me, and in my top 5.
Song:
Portrait of a Lady has been one of my favorite albums at the moment. It's an incredibly beautiful multi-language album about inadequecy and self discovery when all the masks are shed. This song was chosen to be featured because it fits the general aesthetic that my page has, but also because it's one of my favorites. Eili's vocals here are gorgeous and always. Her smooth, mature vocals fit the violins and neo-classical sound that the album has at times. Overall, give it a listen. It's a lovely album.

I just think this topic is very neat.
