beginner’s guide to the indie web

“i miss the old internet” “we’ll never have websites like the ones from the 90s and early 2000s ever again” “i’m tired of social media but there’s nowhere to go”

HOLD ON!

personal websites and indie web development still very much exist! it may be out of the way to access and may not be the default internet experience anymore, but if you want to look and read through someone’s personally crafted site, or even make your own, you can still do it! here’s how:

use NEOCITIES! neocities has a built in search and browse tools to let you discover websites, and most importantly, lets you build your own website from scratch for free! (there are other ways to host websites for free, but neocities is a really good hub for beginners!)

need help getting started with coding your website? sadgrl online has a section on her website dedicated to providing resources for newbie webmasters!

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are the core of what all websites are built on. many websites also use JS (JavaScript) to add interactive elements to their pages. w3schools is a useful directory of quick reference for pretty much every HTML/CSS/JS topic you can think of.

there is also this well written and lengthy guide on dragonfly cave that will put you step by step through the basics of HTML/CSS (what webpages are made from), if that’s your sort of thing!

stack overflow is every programmer’s hub for asking questions and getting help, so if you’re struggling with getting something to look how you want or can’t fix a bug, you may be able to get your answer here! you can even ask if no one’s asked the same question before.

websites like codepen and jsfiddle let you test HTML/CSS/JS in your browser as you tinker with small edits and bugfixing.

want to find indie websites outside the scope of neocities? use the search engine marginalia to find results you actually want that google won’t show you!

you can also use directory sites like yesterweb’s link section to find websites in all sorts of places.

if you are going to browse the indie web or make your own website, i also have some more personal tips as a webmaster myself (i am not an expert and i am just a small hobbyist, so take me with a grain of salt!)

if you are making your own site:

get expressive! truly make whatever you want! customize your corner of the internet to your heart’s content! you have left the constrains of social media where every page looks the same. you have no character limit, image limit, or design limit. want to make an entire page or even a whole website dedicated to your one niche interest that no one seems to be into but you? go for it! want to keep a public journal where you can express your thoughts without worry? do it! want to keep an art gallery that looks exactly how you want? heck yeah! you are free now! you will enjoy the indie web so much more if you actually use it for the things you can’t do on websites like twitter, instead of just using it as a carrd bio alternative or a place to dump nostalgic geocities gifs.

don’t overwhelm yourself! if you’ve never worked with HTML/CSS or JS before, it may look really intimidating. start slow, use some guides, and don’t bite off more than you can chew. even if your site doesn’t look how you want quite yet, be proud of your work! you’re learning a skill that most people don’t have or care to have, and that’s pretty cool.

keep a personal copy of your website downloaded to your computer and don’t just edit it on neocities (or your host of choice) and call it a day. if for some reason your host were to ever go down, you would lose all your hard work! and besides, by editing locally and offline, you can use editors like vscode (very robust) or notepad++ (on the simpler side), which have more features and is more intuitive than editing a site in-browser.

you can use ctrl+shift+i on most browsers to inspect the HTML/CSS and other components of the website you’re currently viewing. it’ll even notify you of errors! this is useful for bugfixing your own site if you have a problem, as well as looking at the code of sites you like and learning from it. don’t use this to steal other people’s code! it would be like art theft to just copy/paste an entire website layout. learn, don’t steal.

don’t hotlink images from other sites, unless the resource you’re taking from says it’s okay! it’s common courtesy to download images and host them on your own site instead of linking to someone else’s site to display them. by hotlinking, every time someone views your site, you’re taking up someone else’s bandwidth.

if you want to make your website easily editable in the future (or even for it to have multiple themes), you will find it useful to not use inline CSS (putting CSS in your HTML document, which holds your website’s content) and instead put it in a separate CSS file. this way, you can also use the same theme for multiple pages on your site by simply linking the CSS file to it. if this sounds overwhelming or foreign to you, don’t sweat it, but if you are interested in the difference between inline CSS and using separate stylesheets, w3schools has a useful, quick guide on the subject.

visit other people’s sites sometimes! you may gain new ideas or find links to more cool websites or resources just by browsing.

if you are browsing sites:

if the page you’re viewing has a guestbook or cbox and you enjoyed looking at the site, leave a comment! there is nothing better as a webmaster than for someone to take the time to even just say “love your site” in their guestbook.

that being said, if there’s something on a website you don’t like, simply move on to something else and don’t leave hate comments. this should be self explanatory, but it is really not the norm to start discourse in indie web spaces, and you will likely not even be responded to. it’s not worth it when you could be spending your time on stuff you love somewhere else.

take your time! indie web doesn’t prioritize fast content consumption the way social media does. you’ll get a lot more out of indie websites if you really read what’s in front of you, or take a little while to notice the details in someone’s art gallery instead of just moving on to the next thing. the person who put labor into presenting this information to you would also love to know that someone is truly looking and listening.

explore! by clicking links on a website, it’s easy to go down rabbitholes of more and more websites that you can get lost in for hours.

seeking out fansites or pages for the stuff you love is great and fulfilling, but reading someone’s site about a topic you’ve never even heard of before can be fun, too. i encourage you to branch out and really look for all the indie web has to offer.

i hope this post helps you get started with using and browsing the indie web! feel free to shoot me an ask if you have any questions or want any advice. <3

Finally finished my Ao3 Workskin Generator Website. Please take a peek, this took forever, and I still want to finish the tumblr and twitter mockup generators:

[fishareglorious]

Hello my r1999 soldiers. I am looking for people able to help me with the making of a website that'll contain the story logs. Writing them down one by one is going to take me thirteen years if I do that, so may I ask, are any of you willing to help with providing the logs? Including the branching dialogue options? Something along these lines:

If you wanna help, please feel free to dm me here with the info, or message me on discord at friedfishforsale.

Currently am focusing on writing the main story, specifically with the This is Tomorrow (prologue) and In Our Time.

IFTTT Tumblr Service Update

Tumblr no longer supports the "legacy" version of their service on IFTTT, so I've had to update all my IFTTT applets to the newer version. Unfortunately that newer version doesn't allow HTML or links in Text Posts at this time, nor does it have a way to add captions to Link Posts.

Hopefully there will be updates in the future, but in the meantime posts will all be "Link Posts" without captions. Sorry for any trouble this may cause!

[puppyeared]

My god I need to finish this website so I can write diary entries and not be this obvious abt it

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

oh yeah fyi im gonna be liveblogging as i explore the update, uhhhh prepare for me to be Absolutely Unbearable <3

[masteraqua]

after ten million years i finally figured out how to hide character and relationship tags on ao3 when they exceed anything resembling a reasonable amount \o/

so now this (wherein any tags that exceed a limit of 2 for relationships and a limit of 4 for characters are dimmed for the purposes of this comparison)

looks like this! (wherein those dimmed tags are yeeted off my page entirely so i can parse what the hell i'm looking at more easily. apologies to this random fic for being my punching bag. it's nothing personal)

[kingsandbastardz]

ah, i'm told i should post that previously posted short fic to ao3.

so i finally set my account up.

here it is:

On AO3 - the moon is a bright today as it was before

[snakegirllovehandles]

I drove for meals on wheels again today, after a long stretch when I couldn't because my car had a severe oil leak.

It's nice to be doing that again.

🙞-------------------------------------------🙜

I went to an estate sale on the way back from the meals on wheels office.

I'm feeling kind of strange, thinking about all the things I learned about the person who's estate it was just by seeing the stuff that was for sale.

She was a musician. Played jazz saxophone. She had lots of costume jewelry. She had a dog. In her last years she was bed bound or nearly so. She was born in the 30s, judging by the photograph I saw. And she had either grandchildren or nieces & nephews.

And, I think, she lived alone.

There's a strange feeling that I have, thinking about these things. The passage of time. Death, the end of connection between people. It's like sadness, but it's also like, reflection. Wistfulness, the barest hint of what it's like to watch a tragic play.

Finality, nostalgia, and a smidge of melancholy.

The old world blues.

Random Jason Hijinks I either wish would happen someday or find amusing to think about.

Rose and Jason break Eddie out of hell and steal his soul back from Neron. Jaime is dragged along by Rose because he and Eddie were “friends a few reboots ago”. Jason asked Roy who sent him Connor who is suffering™.

Pre-Red Hood Jason and Pre-Green Arrow Connor first meet up back when Jason was part of the All-Caste hunting a demon. It’s a one-shot adventure and the things you have to know are:  

a) this is before Jason’s growth spurt so he’s over a head shorter than Connor.

b) Connor isn’t a cape so excuse him for not understanding demons and fucking up hilariously a few times.

c) When Jason tries to kill the demon who is possessing the human, he and Connor fight about it. The fight ends when the demon explodes out of the person like the Pus of Man from Dark Souls 3.

d) Talia is the one who finds and picks up Jason from the adventure (Connor thinks she’s his mom and Jason just didn’t inherit the melanin) and is also the one who gives Connor contact information for Jason because she wants him to have some sort of friend.

e) They never actually learned the other’s name so anytime they’d hear about Red Hood or Green Arrow they literally don’t know it’s that guy they met as teenagers.

Jason decides to actually dust off his mystic training when Dick walks in and Jason gets hit with so many bad vibes he’s genuinely worried something is wrong with Dick.  

Jason: “Did they not fix the Brother Blood mind control thing fully? Did Raven miss something? Isn’t Dick friends with a million people? How have they all missed this????”

It ends with bringing Danny Chase back to life and the only person remotely happy about it is Jason and even that’s a stretch.

Rose, why are you part of the Wild Hunt?!!!

What do you mean Biz got taken by the fae?!

Roy, why is this werewolf saying he’s your husband?!

Eddie, why didn’t you tell me you were a prince of hell? What do you mean that one of Trigon’s sons is buried in Gotham?!!! No wait, you still haven’t told me how you’re a prince of hell!

Jason and Talia's road trip where Jason comes to the uncomfortable realization that he views Talia as a mother/aunt figure.

Bonus Artemis suffering Jason’s Mom Has it Going On.

Jason gets a new dog named Ellie and he loves her and Dog very much. What do you mean she’s a Blue Lantern!?

Ellie is short for Elpis and she’s absolutely Hope Corgi.

Roy finds out that he has a whole-ass checking account under one of his aliases that he never knew about. Turns out Jason created it for him years ago and Roy’s actually under W.E.  employed as an independent contractor and he’s been making 6 figures for years because Jason never bothered telling anyone that he still owns Wayne R&D.

Jason slowly but surely claims Park Row and the surrounding areas as his territory. It has the unforeseen consequence of magical folk moving into the neighborhood because Gotham is a nightmare to live in normally, Magic Gotham is even worse and the only people who can survive are big hitters like Blood, Zatanna, and Ivy or small fries like the kitchen witch near Leslie’s. Welcome to the big leagues, Jason.

Jason keeps getting mistaken for Jason Blood and it is annoying. One day some demon hunters threw something at Jason and did anyone know Jason used to be in heaven because he sure didn’t and these angel wings are a fucking nightmare.

Rose busts a gut laughing because she somehow became friends with the least demon-y demon Eddie and Jason as an angel.

Jason, Ivy, Sideways, and Impulse (Impulse voice: “Why am I even here?”) vs the Madness Wavelength in Arkham.

Jason kills Joker and finds out that he cannot. Not as in “He doesn’t die” or “There will be a new one” but a secret third option, “The universe literally resets the day every time he’s killed.” Instead of being a tragedy, it becomes a comedy as killing Joker slowly becomes Jason’s go-to when shit goes wrong/killing him is good stress relief. Stephanie discovers what happens because she’s had to write the same essay nine times once. Instead of being horrified they (and then Helena, Tim, Duke, etc.) make killing Joker a gag. The only ones not allowed to kill the Joker are Dick and Bruce because then the universe decides it’s the bad timeline instead of just resetting again.

Tim: *drops his latte on a hot guy and then embarrasses himself in public trying to apologize and becomes a meme.*

Tim: I guess I have to kill Joker now.

Jason and Kory remeeting and wow it’s really awkward that we only got close because of a universe meddler and then you dipped and never contacted me again even though I was a hundred percent serious that you were one of my first friends and are very important to me.

Oh no. Not the talking. Not communication! Kory take mercy on me and just drop me like a bad memory don’t have us open a dialogue where we reconcile all of the bullshit that happened to us and the fact that we did genuinely get close at very low points in our lives and be willing to try and be friends again!

Give! Kory! All! The! Friends! She doesn’t care if you think it’s a bad idea, it's her life!

Gotham Vigilante Tabletop Club (GVTC) featuring Jason, Tim, Stephanie, Duke, Helena, and Harper. They each get a turn as dm and every one of them brings in a different game.

Why is Damian’s friend (Colin) asking me for love advice? I’m a gay disaster ask anyone else please. ??? I guess I can try to help??? Who’s your crush?

It’s Lian and Jason regrets agreeing to help because Roy is going to murder him.

Countdown 2 Electric Boogaloo. Except for this time they were all shoved into the dimension separately and by separate events and there is no danger. It is just a multiversal road trip with the people who vexed you greatly but are slightly grown up now.

Bonus scene includes Jason’s gleeful face when he realizes he understands what all of those words Donna keeps muttering under her breath mean because Artemis was a bro and taught him Themysciran Greek.

if you don’t mind sharing do you have any spicy otome li headcanons?

OH BOY DO I HAVE HEADCANONS

I've recently gotten in to the hobby of practicing writing more spicy content... and am considering writing some spicier fics and stuff in the future! So no, I don't mind sharing. I'll go with Amnesia and VariBari, since those are the games I've been playing recently. Side note, I tend to use the MC and 'you' interchangeably. Not to say y'all can't have the best gay sex out there but this is going in under the idea of male LI with the fem MCs

---

A/N: Not a full out porno, but sex is the topic. Read at your own risk. Also I left it kinda vanilla, especially for the amnesia guys. But I can go spicier. I'm not afraid of Taiga CNC.

Amnesia

Shin

VIRGIN AHAHAHAA

he's saving himself for you 🥺

but you know damn well he's reading up on how to properly please a woman

he's under the impression that you are also a virgin. so he won't be mad if you don't know much, sweet and innocent girl that you are

once you go all the way though, there really isn't any turning back, for you or him. casual kisses become desperate make out sessions as you crave for just enough alone time to share the most intimate parts of your body and mind with him

Toma

VIRGIN AHAHAHA

also saving himself for you, in a way. So busy protecting you that he didn't have time for other women.

probably doesn't know how to please a woman. not to bully him but he probably doesn't know where the clit is.

but he tries his best!!! he would be broken if he found out you faked an orgasm for him. it's better to make him feel terrible now than make him feel terrible later.

he wants babies. do with that information what you will.

yeah he's only cumming in you. would beg you to get off birth control. he doesnt have a breeding kink but he really really wants to have a family with you.

Kent

and we're back to virgins.

you can't convince me he's had sex before. you just cant.

wedding night sex!!!!

but, he does know where the pleasure spots are. he's seen enough medical diagrams to know. and ikki probably prepped him up the day before the wedding.

he puts those strong hands to use, if you know what i mean

bruises!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh they hurt so bad but you wear them with pride

gentle aftercare though

Ikki

our first non-virgin!!!!!!!!! woooooooo

gets bitches. no other way to say it.

knows exactly what to do.

he is very much my consent king but he will be the one in charge when it comes to sex.

all those times where he's asked to do things with you? now you have to beg him to stop edging you and properly finish you off

likes to make eye contact with you. all the time. not only because of the way his eyes make you feel, but because he wants you to know that all his focus is on you

Ukyo

sex? never heard of it. ohhhhh, you meant making love?

sex as a form of intimacy and not pleasure. like, yeah he wants you to feel good, but it's the vulnerability of it all that makes it so special

but of course..... he's a little kinky. indulge him a little, yeah? let him choke you every once in a while. he won't kill you, he pinky promised!

it's seen that he owns a pair of handcuffs, no? put that to good use and chain him up. he wants you to have your way with his body. push him to his limits.

---

Variable Barricade

Ichiya Mitsumori

two sets of headcanons for this boy. on one hand, we have the 'he lost his virginity when assaulted', and the other is 'hahaha virgin'.

for the first one, i think I like the sort of guilt of not being able to give his first time to hibari. i think there's a dynamic there to explore. but i am choosing to ignore it for now

you know damn well he waited till the wedding. carefully removing the dress from your soft skin, carrying you to the bed, proving to the world just how amazing love can be

submissive...... but only in the way that he will allow you to have control. he could take it back at any minute but he wants you to feel amazing. let you have him is enough for him.

but eventually. he will beg for some things. but it's less of asking you to do things and more of asking you to allow what he does to you. to let him touch you more, to let him be closer. to take him all the way in, even if it hurts (he'll go slow!)

and you listen. both of you follow through on your promises, both of you embrace as you finally realize that the marriage is consummated, that the deal is sealed, that you are bound together for life.

Taiga Isurugi

definitely not a virgin.

probably thinks ichiya is lame for saving it, but eventually regrets not letting you have it.

but oh BOY does he like you being a virgin. it's like he's forever engraved in your body, permanently changing it in a way no other man can.

likes that you smell like him after sex. really wants to hammer in the idea that you're his

i could go further down that rabbit hole. but he's kinky and wants people to know you're his. if you're thinking what i'm thinking that's my brain telling you that you're right. lets leave it at that. this is more of an ao3 topic.

Shion Mayuzumi

lazy bottom my beloved

not a virgin but doesn't really care

allows himself to just enjoy the sensation of it. but he probably doesnt actively engage in activities often

you get all sweaty and icky and achy and why even bother when you could snuggle or nap?

butttttttt if he finds that you're a little bit pent up, he'll find a way to fix that right up! wink wink. nudge nudge.

matching lingerie

Nayuta Yagami

aggressive bottom

masochism and petplay? you've got a handful.

just relax and let him do all the work.

puts the tongue to good use.

would love a collar and leash. tug on him to get him closer, back to being just right.

probably likes being tied up, but he also wants to do all the work for you, so maybe not

[some-teeth-in-a-trench-coat]

I'm being so normal about my code and definitely didn't just almost cry (positive) upon confirming that I successfully linked my JS file in my HTML file with a relative path and it runs exactly as expected

[cozypups]

i super duper wish i could go back to when i was first learning html and css and asking my mom to take me to the library to get those html coding books that were from 2004 or something
