Yay, discipline!
Well would you look at that. I followed through on something I said I would do. Trying to discipline myself to get better at that. That's kinda one of the main points of this website :) The themes should work with every page now... You might see some random lore drops that seem like they should be interactive but aren't yet. That's cause if you're reading this recent to when I wrote it, you are in the prehistoric era of planet Custodia. That's the name of the planet... I know I named the website itself after myself, but that's because this is also a personal website for my personal art and musings. Have fun looking around and follow the website or bookmark it if you want to keep checking for updates. I hope to make it a very interactive and entertaining ARG someday, or rather, day by day. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it'll be my cup of tea, and anyone who shares tea tastes with me. My favorites are chamomile, peppermint, and earl grey. I'm a big fan of homemade dairy-free london fogs (I often opt for extra creamy oatmilk or oat creamer for that).

Vit D deficiency and other completely valid excuses...
Ok so, i got bit by a stress bug and update is delayed. I technically could update it now but it's not good enough yet so just wait a little longer :3 The funny part is this might not even be being read by anyone from this time. If you're from my future, you don't have to wait at all! Lucky you. By the end of August, this time I'm for real.

Update coming soon (hoping by July 31 '26 or sooner)
Big update coming soon! Just making sure it is worth the while of going in here and updating all these files and even folders/pathways. I made great progress on my journal pages, so now all this rambling in this area will be moved over to the Devlog in an organized way. And my actual 'blog' journal is functional, so I'm using it, but I still have to write some js for the dates to connect to my Recently Posted area here. I feel like the Monthly Spotlights will be easy to program, but kinda just focusing on the entirety of the html structure and css and most basic js for every single base page right now since I put it off for so long. Soon, this area will have some kind of intro illustration, the actual brief intro statement, and a right-aligned area for quicklinks to my neocities page and any other things i wanna link to or just display. Like a mood status or currently listening to status. Aight, I'll be back soon. Gotta get to work on again so it gets done lol.

✨ current status: mulling over my feelings ✨
I will return eventually and I just wanted to update to say I'm not depressed like I thought I would be. I am busy, and I did get an ulnar nerve injury that would have made me depressed forever had it not healed, but it is getting a lot better.
These are all the things on my mind that I have to do for myself:

• eye appointment and new glasses (preferably 2 pairs)
• dentist appt cleaning and mandatory wisdom teeth x-ray
• let right hand heal more (take it easy with art, ease back into the movements)
• start each day with an intention meditation, however brief, and keep reading simple abundance daybook

sad girldev hours
I'm just kinda sad but I'll be workin on a lil bit each day over time. I may not update for a while on here, but I'm still updating it on my computer. If I haven't updated by February, then I'm probably just going through a depression phase with the winter and all. I'll try to remember to take my Vit D every morning and go on walks regularly. My favorite song right now is tower of memories by ivri. I knew a snippet of it was viral but I had no idea it was this good. My favorite part besides all of it is the end sfx with the switching of songs. It's so cute. I want to make some music. That's also what I'm working on. Since this website is sort of to serve as my content organizer and a method for myself to set and work towards goals, I also have to prioritize making that content. I have been wanting to make my first album for a long time. It's an album I conceptualized with the sole purpose of being instrumental or lofi, so that I don't have to worry about vocals too much, but I still don't know exactly how it will turn out. It's kind of just a project for me to work on to practice and get better, not necessarily ever release anywhere other than here. Because it might be trash. Lol.
Anyway,
Until the next update, much love~
P.S. Sorry this [website] isn't fully responsive yet. I have to tweak the way this [home]page's css acts with wide screens vs narrow screens. I made it a lil better than it had been but it's not perfect yet.
P.S.S. My other favorite song is Radio by Mallrat. It sounds heavenly and upbeat all at once.

baby steps
I got all the pages made as their bare bones with little notes to self on each page. So the sidebar menu works now and has clickable pages to go read. But you have to still use your browser's back capability to go back, as I have not done anything else yet. Ahh, but I love it.. Even with all the flaws I see and have listed in my brain, I love this place... Now that I got all that done, the next step is for me to start on the journal page just so I can get it kinda started. I will also eventually make this main page nicer, and maybe I'll move these notes to the 'devlog' eventually, as a record of my prehistoric Victoryanna days. But for now, I like them being on the main page, so any visitors, like you (I'm guessing?!), know what's up right away :)
These are some of my favorite things right now:

• Tracker (Paramount TV Show)
• Ace Attorney (all of them, but I'm playing them through for the first time ever! Lucky me! I'm on Trials and Tribulations right now, the NDS one)
• Getting better at French/starting a daily French diary
• Reading the following books: The Count of Monte Cristo (unabridged of course, Alexandre Dumas), Zen in the Art of Writing (Ray Bradbury), Hello, Habits (Fumio Sasaki), and eventually the last book of Percy Jackson (The Last Olympian)! I'm just putting it off because I'm sad I'm almost done with my first-ever read through of them. You can only read it for the first time once, you know? But As soon as I finish that one, I'll probably start the Heros of Olympus series next. I've also started reading a nutrition book with my sisters called Life-Changing Foods by Anthony William.
• I know it's not here yet, but I'm SUPER excited for the Disney+ series of Percy Jackson to drop in December!! Even more than the last season of Stranger Things. Like, I'm gonna of course binge the last season of Stranger things in a day, two days tops, but Percy Jackson I'm excited for on another level. Idk why. It's just such a comfort thing for me right now.
• Standing cardio or aerobic fat-burning routines from Youtube. I really like MIZI lately, although I often jump around. I love Move with Nicole for pilates. Also, Little Light Dance Workout (Her name is Luminita which means Little Light in Romanian) for really nice cardio routines. I love working out and honestly was really sad I wasn't feeling well because I use exercise like a meditation and it helps me self-regulate my emotions. I'm glad to be getting back to my workouts.

holiday season
OMG I DISAPPEEEEEARED. I'm still thinking baot this place alll the time... I messed up my VS Code and had to reinstall it and then I got really sick and I'm still kind of sick *cough cough*-- that was a literal coughcough. Um, anyway. I have a lot to do, I literally just didn't do anything here for 3 weeks. But it's okay. This little world will come to life eventually hehehe. Everything is ready to go now. I just have to wake up tomorrow and work on what I want to now. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

getting the hang of html5
Sup. Victoryanna here. Has it really been 5 days? Damn... I did get more done but I transferred everything over to VS Code and am working on the bulk of it there as I thought it would be more reliable for instant feedback on all the changes. Saves me a lot of headache. BUt it also added more head aching because of browser parsing issues happening with the hamburger menu unordered list UGH. I spend all of the day before yesterday trying to restructure it, fix it. My HTML looks so flawless and organized now... Better than these 2 files for sure. There ARE some solutions for this, but I'm taking a little break.
I think the next thing I want to work on more than the menu is the journal page anyway... And it's not like I need the navigation system to do that. Is this boring? I'm sorry... Hey, if you are interested in following me to see what this site becomes, do follow me at My Profile Here. It's something I didn't even realize I myself could do for other's until recently. I've just been bookmarking my favorites of them on my phone and my iPad... not very well organized, either.
This website is a prototype for when I can afford to buy my web hosting, probably with wordpress and hostinger or somethingm because I'll probably desire a Content Management System in the future with a site like this. In the meantime though, I have super fun plans for this one, and I hope to make it interactive and fun for everyone else besides me who visits it too. Think text and image based virtual world vibes (I repeat: not a virtual world, just the vibes... I ain't Wonder Woman), HTML5 games, short stories and maybe even a nostalgic longform y/n story just for kicks, secret pages that you have to search for or decipher puzzles to unlock, etc. And all wrapped in what I want to be decent art and responsive and accessible web-design, at least to the breadth of my capabilities. I'm here for the long-haul, and I'm keeping it realistic while also aiming for the stars ;)

placeholders for now
I got the themes working but I still have a lot of CSS stuff to do. There is no other page that exists yet besides this one lol. I eventually would love to get the Journal page working because then I can make actual entry updates, but I want to get this first page looking nice first. Also... for now, there won't be any pictures because I have to draw 11 illustrations for the locations in the Explore area, but I'll try to still make it cute once I get its carousel done, even text based with an image placeholder for now.

Earlier, undated (probably a couple days prior):
babygirl the builder, can she build it? YES SHE CAN
Still under construction :) I am so tired so I probably will be going to sleep soon. I haven't really done anything but learn and plan today, but hopefully I can make this functional tomorrow even if it's not exactly pretty yet ;-;
