hi, my name is ariel!! my pronouns are they/she.
just a thirty-something that loves making art, halloween, eating taco bell, thrifting/collecting, 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!!
