we meet again melonland - ☑︎ ∙ Greetings & News

hello. my name is vale (pronounced "veil", NOT "val" lol). he/him. i actually joined this forum back in 2022 under the same username but idk if anyone recognizes me. thats okay though i wasnt very active. just making this post to say that im returning to melonland! i havent been able to do webcrafting stuff in what feels like foreverrrrr but i got a a little taste of it and i'd like to come back. its so fun. theres so much new stuff on this forum whoaaaa

im in college now and for my anthropology final this semester i have to do participant observation on a community and its culture. since digital communities were allowed, im thinking of choosing melonland as a glimpse into the modern day indie web. of course this forum is only one of many online spaces so i will present it as such.

i love video games and manga (currently working towards becoming an indie comic artist and maybe getting at least one comic published traditionally). got into doujinshi and zines while i was gone they're awesome.....also been reading sir acd's sherlock holmes stories. if anyone knows any good adaptations i would love to hear about it

i have a few websites but mainly: my personal site rainyxshinydays and my rhythm heaven fansite goldremix (havent updated since groove dropped so dw about spoilers).

um umm i think thats everything. i look forward to being here once again and thank you for having me :)))
