Ivy's Blog

Welcome to my blog! Here, you can see all my posts. I mostly share my art here, but occasionally there'll be other tidbits of stuff. If you're looking for a bit more of me talking about other things, check out my Tumblr, where I often talk about tropes and diversity and other fun stuff like that.

Every book page is up!

All my book pages are finally up! They aren't completed, but there's enough content on most of them that I'm okay with putting them up. I'll edit them more in the coming days (assuming I don't go on another unintentional month-long hiatus—which, sorry again).

Back from the dead

What the heck happened to updating more, past me? Huh? Huh?

Anyway, I'm alive still, and even got a B.Sc for my troubles.

Been updating the site slowly. You may notice new stuff on the music, books, and about pages recently!

My computer acted up today (battery at 0% and intermittently being unable to charge... which resolved itself 3 hours later after dying of no battery???), but I hope I can still update. I update from my phone most of the time anyway. (Neocities is hard to update on mobile, lol.)

Current goals: those pesky individual book pages! It's hard to pitch something that doesn't really exist yet.

Plans

Now that I'm back from uni, I should be able to update more!

I'm not going to spend too long outlining my plans or anything, but here's basically what's going on:

Hello!

A purple divider resembling the night sky.

This is where I'm going to set up my small site-attached blog! Is this going to replace my Tumblr? No. This is more of a supplement. Besides, most of what I do on Tumblr these days is reblogging others' cool stuff. Where's all my cool stuff? /lh

So, you may be wondering, what made me switch from my WordPress if it was serving me well? Well, truth is, despite my love of Tumblr, I hate Automattic's business practices (and their CEO, can't forget about the CEO). Automattic is pro-genAI, I am not. Automattic thinks they can change Tumblr to make it more 'profitable', I disagree. Automattic thinks it's totally fine to be transmisogynistic, I say they should remember that that behaviour is questionable when Tumblr is the self-proclaimed "queerest place on the internet".

But I digress. Let's not let my young-adult rage get in the way of the real reason I'm here: to tell you about my books! I'll be doing that throughout the coming days to the best of my ability (exam season, aaaa).
