Hii! My name is Rae, and I'm a strategy nerd, book hoarder, pixel art enthusiast, and lifelong gamer who grew up on Neopets, LiveJournal, and Xanga. This site is my appreciation for the old web!
I also love web design, planning systems, coffee, and collecting cozy games. You'll find all kinds of stuff here — book reviews, gaming shrines, blog entries, and whatever else I feel like making. (◕ᴗ◕✿)
what i've been reading, loved, or can't wait to start ☆
dedicated pages for games that shaped me ♡
Final Fantasy
from VI to X to XIV — the series that taught me what storytelling could be.
Legend of Zelda
ocarina of time was my first love. every dungeon, every melody.
Neopets & Virtual Pets
the OG browser game. my pets are still out there somewhere...
Cozy & Indie Games
stardew valley, celeste, hollow knight — the games that hold my heart.
hello world! my site is live!
I finally did it — I made my own website! After years of missing the old web (RIP my Xanga, my LiveJournal, my Neopets petpage...) I found Neocities and it felt like coming home. This is going to be my little corner where I can be as extra as I want. Expect pixel art, book reviews, gaming shrines, and way too many sparkles. ✨
currently reading: house in the cerulean sea
Only a few chapters in but already obsessed. The worldbuilding feels like a warm hug. Also been reorganizing my bookshelf by color and it's giving me so much serotonin. Might do a bookshelf tour page next...

Deep in the Neocities rabbit hole and the creativity on here is unreal. Shoutout to cinni's dream home, petrapixel, and sakura dreams for making me want to spend 100 hours on CSS. The old web didn't die — it just moved.
