—get in touch with me

here are some ways you can contact me:

this askbox was inspired by strawberry-gashes! ask me anything and i'll try to get back to you ASAP by posting the answers on here. :•)

note: this is more for casual/random Qs, so if you're looking to have an extensive conversation on something (art, coding, blorbos, etc), email would be better!

note 2: please don't be a dick lol

(this contact form is by frogtab using this tutorial.)

What draws you to shota specifically? As someone who isn't into lolisho I don't really understand the appeal

i think you might find this article interesting, anon. it's a compilation of answers others have given to your very question! they're pretty varied, so they might be helpful.

i also started typing my own answer, but it got long bc i wasn't sure what parts you feel most puzzled by, lol. you can hit me up via email if you want to talk about this more in good faith!! i hope the post i linked suffices if not :•)

Do you take art requests? I think that you should draw a realistic horse /lh

LMAO anon i flinched at the question before i read through to the end... you joker! MAYBE i will fulfill your request... someday

Your site is so cool, it really opened my eyes to the posibilities of what can be done for a website! I feel so inspired to go fight for my life against css again! I have a question- for the diary pages, do you just manually make individual pages then just manually add the little blurbs and links? it all looks so seamless I can't tell!

hi anon!! thank you kindly!!!! :D i am rooting for you in your fight against css LOL

to answer your question: i do not manually update things, although i used to for a long time! it was very tedious (i don't recommend) so at some point i learned how to use something called a static site generator.

with an SSG, my workflow is like this: i write the posts individually, then the generator fills in information from those posts into the larger diary page template (which i coded in advance) and generates all the pages for me! (i hope that makes some sense...)

if you're interested in learning more about SSGs/figuring it out for your site, i linked some resources that helped me in my diary entry here. i hope this helps!! thanks for stopping by!!

Hi! I thought about it and realized you probably took that project page down for a reason, I was just wondering if I lost it somehow the other day. I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable. Have a nice day :3
thank you, anon!! i appreciate your understanding. T__T i felt bad leaving your question unanswered, so i'm glad you came back! you have a nice day too!
You mentioned a portfolio site you're working on? Are you planning to link it here?
hiya anon! i have no plans to link it here as of writing.
YOUR CUPID PAGE IS SO PERFECT!! MWAH!!
GAAHHH THANK YOU ANON!!!! mwah right back at you! i hope to add more to it as i develop him...
Happy birthday, Mei! Here's to a happy, healthy year 💞💞 Your most recent diary entry made me smile!!
ahhh thank you so much, anon!! i'm glad to have made you smile! i appreciate the well wishes and hope you are happy and healthy as well ^__^
is there any date when your page about ships with your OCs/SIs will be back? i missed that one!

oh! i've been wanting to rework that one for a while, but got stuck on trying to get some new icons made (read: color my drawings). i finally got em all done though, so now it's just a matter of filling up the page. (i have some new inserts.......)

i generally don't try and put dates to any of my updates, but i do plan to work on and reupload that page soon. thanks anon! i'm honored you want to see it again!!

hey! Just wondering if you had any restrictions on taking inspo from your site? I'm working on a "75 Hard" page and want to take inspo from the way your scrapbook page is laid out if youre okay with it.

hiya anon! i can't say i've given restrictions that much thought, but as of writing, i'd say anything that isn't in the realm of "i've directly copied and pasted a lot of your code and pretended it was all me" is cool with me (especially since i used a tutorial to code that page, so me being too particular about attribution would feel silly).

absolutely feel free to model your page after my scrapbook layout!! i'm flattered you would take inspo from any part of my site, and i'd love to see it when you're done, if you're OK with sharing. thanks for asking!!

Please please please make the cupid page! I love him your honor
this message made me smile so big, anon LMAO i will!!! i don't know much about him yet myself but wanting to make this page will probably be the thing will get me to figure him out!! thank you for loving the cupit...
hello mei, following you from your neocities website! It was so eerie visiting your site and seeing your bedroom so empty hahaha. Your new site is looking great so far! <3
wah thank you for following me over here + the kind words, anon!! yeah it was a little freaky for me too LOL... ghost bedroom. i archived the non-empty version on here though so it'll always be preserved!
So excited for the new site!! It's always a joy to stop by your website, wherever that may be.
i didn't think anyone would leave me any more notes, so this was so sweet of you to say, thank you anon!! i hope this revamp is to your liking!
aaaa that sounds exciting!!! ;;w;; looking forward to it!!
thank you so much!!!!! <3 :")
I wanted to leave something on your guestbook but I can't find the form, orz. Just stopping by to say this website is all kinds of adorable, I will spend some time exploring it for good! <3
ACK yes, 123guestbook disabled the forms recently i believe! i haven't gotten around to finding a replacement since i was going to wait to move hosts before i did, but i appreciate this so much anon! the fact that you stopped in to leave a note despite the hassle... thank you so much!
oh my god i can't imagine how much work that takes with all the pages you have, that's insane & amazing !!
thank you anon!! T__T i appreciate that you view it so positively. BUT ALSO you prompted me to learn how SSGs work (i figured it out!!!) so maybe in the near future i will update my tedious processes! thank you for giving me the push to learn something new.
Thought you might like to know that your blorbostats page is titled "everbloom resident log". Guessing this is a copy/paste error. Have a nice day!
ack good catch anon!! it was indeed a copy/paste error (right after i talked about manually updating all my pages too... lmfao the clear effects of such a way of doing things). just fixed it + have a nice day too!
just a quick question if u don't mind !! Do you manually edit your code when updating/adding pages or use static site generators/apps? ;;

hiya anon!!! i unfortunately manually update my pages (aka navigate to every folder with pages i edited and reupload them LOL)... i edit the code on my local files and VScode. i've yet to try a SSG or sit down to learn how to use one, but i'd like to try to do that with another site maybe!

Hello!!! Thank you for all of your rec lists, but especially the fucked up ones. We seem to have similar tastes! I am being well fed.

hello anon i'm SO glad to hear that!!!!! it always makes me happy when i can recommend something people will like. let me know if you end up reading/watching any of the things on there!

miniso capybara collection btw. If you care

I DO CARE... thank you for the alert!! i must go check it out asap

i don't know if you'd be comfortable with it, but i'd love to read a long-ass, heartfelt essay of yours about your relationship to fandom and mostly your blorbos and how you see that part of your inner life, how it affects you etc., you seem very introspective and interested in these topics and i'm sure it would be truly interesting!

wah, anon!!! i can't put into words how honored i feel that you'd care to read something like that... that seems like a lot of fun to do!!!

i'm actually already in the process of making a page to compile a handful of fannish things i've made (slideshows, sheets, etc) and have nothing yet for the writing section, so that might be an excellent first installment! thank you!

Have you considered watching Cougar Town? Danni Pudi is in the background of one shot

i have not, but i did see that clip!! he's in character as abed from community – abed mentions having been an extra on cougar town in one of the episodes lmao. i actually don't know anything about the show beyond it being one abed likes but i'll look it up!

r u tapped in on starkid’s hatchetfield musicals? idk I feel like u might them?

that's kind of in the realm of nerdy prudes must die, right? i've seen some really good fanart of it and tried to watch a bit of the show once on youtube!! i'll admit i didn't spend too much time on it so i didn't get into it, but i might if i gave it more of a shot. i mostly messed around on the wiki and tried to understand the multiverse but alas, not everything can be done through reading LOL

i started looking through the new boywall and i was catching your vibe like "mei would like gianmarco" and THERE HE WAS! he's such a cute fella isn't he

ANON YOU HAVE MY WHOLE HEART. thank you for looking through my boywall... i can't believe you clocked my type while scrolling and totally got it right. this message made my day lmao.

and YES he's such a swell lad – i'm glad to know there is another gianmarco fan in the wild wild west of the personal web!!! his comedy is exactly my style, and he's cute to boot. i'd love to see him live someday.

hiii mei, first of all I love your site, it's very creative and cool! I would like to ask how did you embed your latest status.cafe on your front page? Is it difficult to do? Thanks in advance

hey anon!! thank you so much! i just followed the instructions for the status widget on the status cafe site :) it was super easy – hope you get to do it too!

9/10 needs more shota

LOL thanks for the feedback anon. you're so right...

YOUR SKETCHBOOK WAAAA!!! Cupid is the new love of my life.

AHHHH THANK YOU!!!! that makes me so happy to hear, i care him so much, i'm so glad you like him T__T

[an ask about taking some time to read my comics, i'm so sorry i lost it!!]

in the process of editing this page i accidentally overwrote your ask i'm so sorry... but thank you so much for reading my comics!!!!!

I love your tinder matches comic <3 it gave me a good laugh

WAH thank you so much!!! T__T i'm delighted to get feedback on it so soon after i posted, even if it's very old LOL... glad to make you smile, anon!!

re-animator anon, i meant mostly silly mad scientist herbert west, but honestly this film has its varied pick of charming losers :o) i understand if gore isn't your thing, tho! here it's cartoony but still uh, might be a little disturbing if it's not your thing!

OHOHO okay i looked him up a bit more and i am interested :•) on his wikipedia page there is a very handsomely drawn him from a 2015 comic... also i watched the trailer to test my tolerance for the gore and ended up watching through my fingers LOL it's unfortunate that i am so squeamish – you've got a lot of power, anon!! i might just read the story or find a comic (?), if you have any recs, but if you particularly love movie herbert i will do my best

have you watched re-animator... if you're into nerdy failguys, this might be the [the rest of the question didn't make it to my askbox! :c]

anon unfortunately i didn't get the rest of your question, sorry!! BUT i think the important info made it to me: the name of the thing to watch + "nerdy failguys"!!!!

i looked it up! is it the 1985 real people film based on the h.p. lovecraft story? it seems there is many a man in this story (i read the synopsis) who could be potentially fail, so i'm curious about it!!!

i have kind of a weak stomach for gore, but i'll probably employ someone to watch it with me LOL. i hope i got the correct film you were recommending (there's nothing else that's called reanimator so it should be right but correct me if i'm wrong!)

Pspsps. You'd love Alcryst.

(is this rebecca...) I KNOW. HE IS SO CUTE AND INSECURE.

i think i need someone to lend me engage though, because one (1) cute boy and sommie are not enough to get me to buy the game... the perils of starting fe on three houses (i love a school setting)

Hi, I'm having a lot of fun browsing your site! Are your comics available anywhere to read?

hi, thank you kindly!!! if you mean the stuff on my for love page, i have a few of them on my itch.io, but for a small fee + some of them aren't on there.

at some point i want to put them up on here (save for my thesis, which is Tew big lol) for free, since they're all quite old, but i need to go through and block out any info first LOL. these were all made to be shared just with irls so they're a bit too free with details for my liking to post online just yet.

i have a couple of diary comics up on an instagram, but i hate instagram and hope to post those on here too. i'll bump it up my to-do list for the site since you're interested!! thank you!!

Hii!♡ good evening or good morning!! I was just wondering do you know of Hazbin Hotel? would you consider watching it at all?♡ (p.s am a big lover of the show :3)

hello hello!! yeah, i know a bit about hazbin hotel! i'm a tumblr sexyman enjoyer so i got curious about alastor when the pilot came out, LOL. i have mixed feelings about both hazbin and helluva boss, but i stay up to date anyway because the characters are interesting. i'm excited to hear their broadway VAs bring them to life! (i like theatre.)

my favorite character is vox, even though we barely know anything about him yet – he's just very handsome – and i have a soft spot for sir pentious because of a wonderful fic.

What kind of magical girl/boy anime do you like? The traditional ones, the deconstructions, the parodies, or do you like all of them equally?

i actually don't watch any magical girl/boy anime! i didn't really grow up watching anime myself, but i had friends/family who did. i am full of secondhand influences... i'm sort of interested in watching madoka magica, but i'm notoriously bad at starting new media lol

hi~ do you have the link to your neocities profile? i cant seem to find it.

hi!! i've disabled my neocities profile, sorry :(

Hi there. I wanted to know: 1. Do you like Sk8 the Infinity and The Case Study of Vanitas? and 2. Would you want to get into Lolita Fashion?

hello!! i really like that you've numbered your questions so i'll respond the same way:

  1. i know very little about sk8 but i've seen good fanart of it. i've never heard of the case study of vanitas!! i looked it up though and the boys look very pretty. i'm not one for sports (?) anime or period series though so i don't know if i'll get into them! i'm curious as to why you ask about these two in particular :•)
  2. no, i think my style is a bit too minimalist/classic for it. i've learned that too much fluff and lace looks kind of weird on me, so my style is a lot more plains + solid shapes. it's very cool on other people though!!!

thank you for the fun Qs!!

I saw your statuscafe about RSS! This is the guide I found the most helpful, just thought I'd share it! You might find a different one to be more helpful to you, I know we're all different, but anyway, here – Combined with this, cus the first link's timestamp generator was down when I made my own RSS

WOAH thank you, i didn't think anyone would see my silly griping! this is super helpful ;_; i'll take a look at them and then maybe finally have a nice little rss feed for my site! thank you again!!

hello when did u fall in lov w the color pink

you know what. i don't know!! i loved it as a kid, but then fell off it for the same reasons other girls growing up in the 2000s did lol. it was some time in high school that i revisited it, i think... or after? my favorite color was purple for a very long time. i can't believe i don't remember

if you had to pick 1 fictional character to date, who would it be???

just one?!?!?! this is so tough... there are so many... although to be fair most of the characters i really like would likely not be the best dates lmao

the chara who would be the best date according to my blorbo calculations is ben wyatt from parks and rec... but i'm gonna speak from the heart (as of today,) and choose kazuha von genshin. i don't play the game, i just like that little weirdo!! he's sweet and might make me enjoy the outdoors!
