Welcome!
this is my personal website, where I share my creative endeavors, parts of myself, and things I just like. I am an aspiring author, which means that once I'm published, this website will be far more about that than anything else. for now, it is very much under construction!

FAQ
how did you create the theme switcher?
I had someone help me and regularly referenced the developer resources on Mozilla.org, which is on the links page. I haven't been able to find a tutorial that does it the exact same way I did, but my script essentially just swaps the URL for the CSS stylesheet that comes with Neocities pages by default with another stylesheet I created for each additional theme. the selector is done through use of the <select> tag, which you can find a tutorial for on W3 Schools. if I have to explain it more than that I will Explode
how do you create pixel art?
there are defintely better ways to create pixel art, but I hate change, so I use the legacy brush in Paint Tool SAI and a lot of clipping masks. for dithering, I use Dither Machine, and for scaling the final piece, I use the pixel art scaler on Lospec. links for all that can be found on the links page.
