Layout update! I've decided to go with a top navigation with dropdown menus because I love how clean it looks, so I'll be updating all my pages over the next few days. I also finished reading The Left Hand of Darkness and have updated my bookbug page with my thoughts~
3/7/2024
I've added my 2024 art to my art gallery (3 months late lol). also felt like the fonts on my site needed an update, I wanted to choose fonts that were a bit easier to read than my old pixel fonts.

I made a bookbug page! I'm very excited to get back into reading again~
2/3/2024
I have a neopets shrine now! I've been having a lot of fun playing again, it's really sparked my creativity~

I've been losing the motivation to work on stuff lately, so advent calendar updates might be a bit more sporadic, maybe I'll update every other day instead of every day

my winter advent calendar event is now live! check back every day to see a new surprise~

I decorated my about page with some doodle-style pagedolls and now I want to make doodles like those for every page :ooo
10/27/2023
I finally got around to making an rss feed for my site!
10/26/2023
I've finished transferring my blog entries over from dreamwidth, though I only transferred over my favorite entries. more entries, tag system, and rss feed coming soon! (maybe. depends how much energy I have and whether or not I get distracted working on other parts of the site.)
10/17/2023
linwood radio has a couple new songs, and I added a baby box for my tamanotchis on the homepage

happy halloween 1st everyone, go check out the events page to see the halloween event! woohoo!
9/26/2023
I'm moving my blog here from dreamwidth, I decided to try to keep all my stuff here instead of sending people elsewhere. I have an idea for a tag system I want to implement as well, and I'm gonna try to figure out how to manually set up an RSS feed (one of the reasons I used dreamwidth in the first place was so I wouldn't have to manually set up tags and RSS stuff haha)
9/4/2023
new poll, I've been slowly drawing page dolls, and I started working on a halloween page offline
8/20/2023
I made a popout music player! now you can listen to a forest-y playlist as you explore~
8/13/2023
massive layout change! I really wanted to make things look more colorful and I'm really happy with how it all turned out! I also made everything more green to fit my forest theme a bit better~ I'm still working on things, but if anything seems broken feel free to shoot me an email.
8/6/2023
my art gallery is all done (until I draw new stuff)! now you can see my art dating back to 2018, and I have my commission info available!

I revamped my art gallery so I could show a lot more stuff! I still have a lot to add, but you can check out my art from 2023 and 2022~
8/3/2023

4/23/2023
I've been busy working on new pages offline and since I've also started a new job, I've decided to put my blog on hiatus for now.
4/16/2023
I've been making small edits here and there while I work on bigger stuff. also I wrote a game review for radiant historia on my blog!
to do
- set up tagging system for my blog
- update my webgarden pot
- draw lots of pagedolls
- add more recipes
- make free to use pixel graphics
- add character and world profiles
- make more shrines
- learn how to make a simple game or two that I can add to the site
monthly poll
what's going on here?
hello traveler! I'm levya and I take care of this forest. it's my little home on the internet where I share my thoughts, art, projects, and whatever else I feel like putting here!
this forest exists at a crossroads between dimensions, with visitors from all sorts of worlds coming and going, some lost, some simply wandering. whether you're one of the lost ones or not I hope you enjoy exploring this strange space! you may even come across a secret page or two :)
site warnings: the webgarden and collections pages contain bright flashing images, and one secret page has autoplaying music.

I’ve been on the fence about writing this for a while now because I was worried it would come across as too negative, but sometimes being a hater can be relatable and cathartic. Plus, these are just minor annoyances, it isn’t that serious. Feel free to agree or disagree!
