We've all got things to say, thoughts floating around in our brains.
Many people run to social media to let them out, however, I find posting on massive social sites too intimidating.

I've always been intrigued by personal blogs, a space where you can make something truly your own. I'm old enough to remember a time where myspace was The social media, but not really old enough to have ever gotten to really enjoy it. By the time I was interested in having social media and posting online the web had already begun it's corporate dissent. Clean, white, minimalist layouts. "Optimizing" to remove as many buttons as possible and leave you with nothing but The Feed to forever scroll and consume. Any sort of personalization was gone, except for Tumblr.
Tumblr was where I got my first taste for customization, I made so many throwaway blogs just to play with the themes. Entire blogs dedicated to one subject just so I could have fun decorating my own little space online. I'd completely abandon them after setting them up and to this day I don't remember the log-in info for any of them, but I enjoyed it; and it taught me just enough about html that now, 10 years later, I remembered enough and was able to learn what I didn't to set up this website. It's nowhere near being done well, I know that, but I am having so much fun again.
In my late teens I lost interest for nearly everything. I stopped going on Tumblr because I didn't have anything I cared about. In my early 20's I became reclusive, separated myself from the rest of the world, and now I hardly ever post online out of fear. I've slowly started worming my way back into online spaces, and I'm brave enough now to post my art online. I have a really small following and an even smaller circle of friends but I'm happy again.
I made this website as a place for me to talk about the things that make me happy. My original characters being one of them. I spend most of each day just thinking about my characters and their stories, and then I never share them anywhere. I'm too scared to post about them on my socials because I have no control over the audience that may find them. They're very dear to me so I feel like I have to defend them if they're misunderstood; and with the current state of places like Twitter and Instagram I don't feel comfortable posting about my queer characters. So I've decided I will post about them here. In my own comfortable, safe, corner of the internet. Just like when I was younger and talking about my favorite characters on Tumblr. When I was unafraid to speak, because I hadn't convinced myself that no one wanted to hear me yet.
I plan to update this blog page pretty frequently. There's always Something on my mind, so I'll always have something to talk about. :3c That might be my characters, my art, upcoming products for my Etsy shop, music, movies, opinions,,, really and truly the possibilities are endless. I'm looking forward to yapping to you again, but for now this is it. I'll leave you with an album that i've been enjoying a LOT recently, 738 streams and counting! - Yap to you later, Liss ~ "Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes!"
