hi, my name is ariel!! my pronouns are they/she.
just a thirty-something that loves making art, halloween, eating taco bell, going thrifting, yapping about LOST, playing neopets, and taking care of my plants!!

as someone who sort of "grew up" alongside the internet, i often find myself feeling exhausted by what it has become- a capitalist nightmare of algorithms, advertisements, influencers, censorship, AI garbage, etc. i decided to start this neocities website to divest from social media and (hopefully) find enjoyment out of creating a little corner of the internet that's all mine, where i can chase the nostalgia of what the internet once was. i plan on using this space to post my art/diy projects and infodump about whatever i'm currently hyperfixating on. i hope you enjoy my little slice of the web!! + thanks for joining me!!
