Hello, even thought I´ve made an acount here a while ago, this is my introduction.
I´m usually known in online circles as Ghaslty . Pronouns are he/they
I´m from Portugal, a total 90s kid (but only first got on the internet in 2000)
I´ve always wanted to try and have a site on my own, but felt intimidated too :sad: so imagine the irony of me finally get the courage to make one in a era where GeoCities is dead and everyone is on social media. But hey, better late than ever.
But lately I´ve been feeling a bit of frustration with the online world today. It´s not just the lack of privacy, but how it was built to profit over vitriol. Even fandoms spaces!
Lately it´s getting worse where someone will send you death threats because they don´t approve your ship for "moral reasons", as if the flamers from 2000s weren´t bad enough, but at least you knew it was for petty reasons back then.
So I decided to take a break and actually build a space just from me without the drama.
Which is why I created creaturefeature (https://creaturefeature.neocities.org/)
I think it´s supposed to be a love letter to my favorite movie monsters, weird animals and whatever else caught my interest.
And I´ve been having fun making it.
so, thanks for having me :grin:

Thanks! Cute with a creepy edge? That is an interesting way to describe it I like it. i wasn´t sure what theme to go for.
also I used to be big on collecting pixelated pets, back when I was still using forums heavily. So I decided to brush my old accounts and put them on page dedicated to them.
