About Me
I'm many things, but you can call me PJ.
This Neocities website is a personal project that I intend to help me get acquainted with HTML. As an artist and writer (it's my hobby, not my job lol) I love immersing myself into fictional worlds that feel so familiar yet so different; so safe yet so scary. I also love introducing people to my huge number of original characters which I've created for my various projects.
I love cities. I love feeling surrounded by people. I love the places you can find, and the new things you discover every time you take a walk around your neighborhood. At the same time, I love unease. I love fear. I love it when people realize that the worlds I create are far from happy.
In suffering we birth color, in captivity we hope for freedom, and in death we find the meaning in life. There is no escaping that fate, no matter what they tell you.
The weather is pleasant. Warm sunlight filters through the verdant trees that line the sidewalks, illuminating the prismatic flowers below you. The glass from the windows, or perhaps it's the sunset, cast beautiful colors all over the roads. You can hear children playing nearby and happy, carefree conversation. You can see people walking to and fro, enjoying their time outside. You can smell clean, fresh air, and a hint of coffee wafting out of a nearby cafe. You breathe it all in.
So nice...
This is not where you came from. This is not where you will return to. This land is steeped in sadness and despair, anger and rage, longing and loneliness. Yet it is so peaceful, so full of love and beauty and kindness. You will know that love, beauty, and kindness. It will suffuse you and cleanse you of your regrets and your suffering.
You have enough money for meals and lodging, and you have enough time to explore the city. Your bones are not weary as they were before. The people here are kind, and they will not let you fall into trouble.
Rest now. You have nothing to fear.
Let your worries, and all of your sadness, wash away into the concrete.
Don't think about where they will go.
You are safe here in The City.
You are safe.

They're watching you.

1/12/2025 - Happy 2025! I'm finally back home after my trip overseas, so I can continue to update this site. For now it's just random graphics and code improvements. Next I'll upgrade some things under the hood. Next, I'm updating the Media page.
12/23/2024 - Overhauled the Writing page to the new format and converted it to a table! (YAY!) Added 3 new stories. Fixed the way tables work on the Blinkies page and added some new links there too. Can you find Deep Lore page 4? (Last major update for while, so I wanted to make it a big one!)
12/21/2024 - Added a favicon (I needed one badly O_O) and made some minor changes to the Experiments page again.
12/17/2024 - Moved the site's repository over to Github! Additionally, made some changes to the way I handle the sitemap.
12/15/2024 - Small updates over the course of a few days. Fixed the mobile responsiveness of some of the pages, and RIP the buttonwall on the Blinkies page.
12/10/2024 - Revamped Hotel Room page. Revamped the Sitemap. Updated the three Deep Lore pages, and the clues to find them are on the Sitemap.
12/06/2024 - Added an Experiments page for some animation heavy silliness (instead of doing what I set out to do, LOL). Hotel Room is being revamped and Deep Lore will be updated soon.
11/28/2024 - Once again, sorry for all of the weird edits. I'm still trying to figure out how to amass links without alerting people every time. And I'm currently working on updating some of my text-based pages like Hotel Room (potentially a complete revamp?) and the three Deep Lore pages to the new format. Next will be Sitemap, and then the huge Gallery, Writing, and Media pages.
11/26/2024 - Added a new page for Music. Attribs + Socials page are now new format.
11/19/2024 - Enjoy the new About and Blinkies pages!
11/11/2024 - Sorry about the random updates, but I'm optimizing things. Enjoy the new Sitemap sidebar, and soon an updated About and Blinkies page.

9/30/2024 - I'm unsatisfied with the way the site looks, but I have an awesome new format in the works right now.

7/19/2024 - New art, fixing some grammar and spelling issues.
5/19/2024 - Added more artwork, one more writing piece, and made some page tiles on the Home page.
4/21/2024 - Launch! And many minor edits to keep things looking good.
