It's been awhile since I last updated this silly little site. At the time of writing this entry (December 28,2024), there isn't an actual about section on here so this will be taking its place for now. My name is Ninten and I spend a lot of time doing art :). I've taken up doll making as a hobby this year and have around 15 dolls that I made this year. The current ones I make at the moment are made from polymer clay and fabric from clothes and pillow cases that aren't being used anymore. One of the dolls I made used an old shirt that was given to me from a family member because it had too many holes and wasn't very comfortable to wear. In my opinion, it's very relaxing and gives me something to do.

The biggest difficulty in making this site is the fact that I have a massive fear of this not being perfect. I've spent a lot of time looking at other people's sites and seeing perfectly curated sites with lots of clickable things. I've become very content with keeping this site simple unless I decide to unlease the horrors onto my beloved mystery page for all to see. So far, my main priority is making this site functional and not slowdown someone's computer because I decided to the world's largest, most blinged out picture on the homescreen. This is very tempting but I won't do it.

I'm keeping this as simple as I can for now so I don't overwhelm myself. I do want this section to have an actual sidebar so that every entry is organized and has a name of its own. Hopefully that doesn't take too long teehee

my...my sidebar im cryinggggg

December 31, 2024: Originally I was going to make a sidebar but the task became a bit convoluted. I'll try again some other time so I don't frustrate myself more. It would be funnier for this to go on without tabs >:)

January 1 2025: I finally figured out the sidebar situation after finding out the easiest way to do it was through tabs. Took a while and now I got to this point. I'm really trying not to make this section all about coding but I can't help it lol. Depending on how I feel, I might end up separating everything out instead of having them in large pages like I currently do but I like the look of it right now. I hope you like large hitboxes >:) Happy new year :)

January 2 2025: I bought Forever Kingdom on December 31, 30 minutes before the new year started. It was out of impulse, not due to the fear of never getting this game physically, but because I wasn't doing ok mentally. It is an odd thing honestly but it was better than crying more than I did hours before that moment. All I have to do now is wait for 2 weeks and hopefully it isn't scratched to hell and back.

January 3,2025: Hopefully this picture loads correctly on this page. A late Christmas/Birthday gift arrived yesterday and I'm very grateful for everything I recieved from my friend. They're too kind to me!!! They made the Mohammed Avdol, Serial Experiments Lain, and the injured Curly mouthwashing pins!!! The pins came in with these very beautiful pockets that have stars on them. The journal is vintage from the manga author Yumiko Tabuchi. I was very surprised to see this in the package since it was the very last one and it's just as gorgeous as the photos in the listing. The washi tape included has designs of decorative rolls of tapes with the occasional "washi" sprinkled in and the Miu Miu page came packaged with the journal when I opened it. That's definitely going on my wall somewhere. The mango hand butter was based on a response I gave my friend about what fruit Mohammed Avdol would enjoy and the mass amount of stickers I got is due to me having a sticker collection. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with over 800 legend of zelda stickers teehee.

January 4, 2025: My copy of Forever Kingdom came in way earlier than expected. The funny thing is how it arrived. I already knew it wasn't going to be in the original case sine the listing said so but I was not expecting it to come in a busted xbox 360 case for grand theft auto 5 taped up, with cover paper inside for the game itself. I saw this wrapped up case and thought to myself, "Now what if this was broken with no way to fix it?" Anyways shout out to the person who wrapped it though because that game was ultra protected AND there wasn't a single scratch on it. It's funny, the picture for the listing had the person holding it with a microfiber towel, not a single screenshot in sight. Just 2 pictures to prove that it was still functional.

A bit after struggling to cut the tape off the case, I was presented with a game that didn't look used at all. In comparison, my copy of Evergrace had a lot of scratches on it, since it was technically used by 3 different people and it was bought for $2.99 by the person before me. Forever Kingdom looked like someone bought the game, popped it in once and forgot about it. I played it for an hour, noting every difference I saw fit. Personally, I enjoyed it a bit more since there are 3 characters to switch between instead of one character. The fact that they interacted a lot too made it more enjoyable, especially since their observations about the environment they were in made certain tasks easier to understand. For example: in Evergrace, after defeating the mini boss in the human research lab there is a button that gets pressed to unlock a gate. You have a set amount of time to get over there before the gate goes back down. The issue with this is that it only shows the cutscene once and it's up to you to find the gate and hope that its open. In Forever Kingdom, certain interactions with people or things shows a cutscene that can be triggered again just in case. It's more convienent thar way. Though I still miss Sharline's valley girl accent with the vocal fry :(

I've also been painting quite a bit, mostly for the enigmatic art section that has yet to be constructed. Most of my characters have preliminary sketches and only 2 of them have been painted so far. I really should just make the section and throw in some drawings instead of stalling on it. I just hope however I decide on making it look, that it's fully functional and does't cause any issues.

Teehee.
