Neocities: An excited discovery for me, The Archeologist of the Old Internet ✨️

Hello everyone, today I want to share this discovery of mine for all of you who are missing the Geocities. This project called Neocities is a social network with free hosting to create sites and blogs, exactly what Geocities was.

This project is not new, it was created in 2013, but I only found out about it because of a discussion on Twitter about how social media nowadays sucks and people in the comments were giving alternatives and a blessed person mentioned this project.

I certainly haven't had a blog/website in almost a decade, but a blog/website hosted on Geocities must be over a decade, so I definitely want to join the community. One of the things I liked to know is that a lot of people actively use Neocities and even young people who haven't had contact with Geocities are using it.

I just haven't created it yet because.... I don't really know what I want to do with it. I like a lot of things, I like to talk about a lot of things, so I really don't know lmao.

Well, that's it. An alternative for those who want to go back to what social media was like in the 90s/00s and a chance for nostalgic people to remember what it was like to use Geocities to connect with people. Speaking of which... hey Neocities! 👋 what if... you sponsor me!✨️ Just saying... you know, just giving a friendly suggestion...

Poor man, the literal theme of this episode was "confuse TF out of Marc", "make Marc cry", "make Marc cry some more", "why TF is Marc not crying yet again?", "If you won't, then I'll make Marc cry" and "because Marc just has to cry".

His whole story and trauma of it broken down and presented. It was a crucial episode.

I like the idea that both the identities were acknowledged as seperate conscious in the afterlife, like even the goddess was entirely confused about the whole alter business because humans have literally managed to advance almost all shit's to next level of course.

The fact that both Marc and Steven dutifully ignored the last coffin (aka Jake the cabbie, really just a baby) and so the scales never truly balanced and only balanced after Steven died? Like Marc just saw Steven die and the goddess is like "ohh, the scales balanced?". I was heartbroken to see Steven gone. So will be Layla.

Marc with his hands on his waist and literally stating flatly, "Bitch, we mental. Why else?"

The happiness that man felt about being dead rather than crazy won my heart, of course Marc- priorities. But still, to a man who's been broken in terms of mental space almost his whole life- that must have been to precious of clarity. His brother's death for which he blamed himself, his mother's hate, her violent abuse- both mental and physical, his trauma serving in military (from where he got discharged due to him often escaping into his fugue state- his mental disorder, the chaos causing him to be a liability for military), then as a mercenary (because that's apparently the only job he could get with what skills he had), then almost dying- like he literally was going to shoot himself to end the pain. Then killing in the name of protecting and delivering justice. Trauma, trauma, trauma.

And the way Marc believed that he chose his life as khonshu's avatar because he couldn't live like anything else but a killer- because that is what he always was (probably thinking of his brother, oh god).

Steven finally understood though that khonshu had manipulated Marc from the beginning.

Also, I think Jake knows of both Marc and Steven because he could kill the bitches who'd bother them, possibly because he knew of Marc's skills, like Steven could do shit when he realised he was Marc in a way, atleast with the physical abilities.

I love drawing cute scenes.

I'm myopic. So I need my glasses everytime I want to experience how a person with normal eyesight sees things. So, the situation is that to experience equality in terms of sight or vision, I NEED my glasses. It's not an advantage, it's a necessity. But to my father, it doesn't seem that way. He thinks I just need to wear glasses when I'm studying. To him, it looks like a tool to help me do something better rather than something that I need to do things normally all the the time.

I think people with any disability are misunderstood the same way and it's a shameful understanding society keeps about their issues. If only these nuances are understood more precisely, maybe we wouldn't question laws made for people with disabilities, so that they can experience equal participation and rights like any normal citizen, and maybe this world would be a slightly better place.

What do you do when you don't feel like a person anymore? When all you feel like is an extension to everybody else's life? I like being needed most of the times, but I absolutely hate it in moments when I stop feeling like a fucking valid person anymore, when being needed absolutely fucks up with my personal progress, be it academic, psychological, physical or emotional. When people who need my help feel entitled to it and I feel too exhausted to even defend myself on that stand, when all I want to do is cry about it.

girl typing a very specific question into google search bar, scrunching her face as she takes time to make sure she hasn't made any spelling errors, hitting enter, shaking her head as google only presents her with unhelpful websites that don't answer her query at all, moving her cursor back to the search bar and clicking on it so she can carefully write 'reddit' at the end, hitting enter again, sighing with relief as she finds a link to a reddit post asking the exact question she needed answered posted in a subreddit for a very niche topic, finally moving her cursor to click on the link, wondering why she didn't go straight to the subreddit earlier, only to be met with a deleted comment with a reply from the OP stating 'that was very helpful, thanks', sighing with frustration as she moves her cursor back to the search bar so she can copy the link and paste it into the wayback machine,

All this is so disheartening. We see this happen and most of us don't question thinking authority knows better. But do they really? DO they? No, they are people in power, and parity is not their motto apparently because all they do is take away dreams that those with extra struggles on their plate (for almost all their life so far) have nurtured. This is wrong. This is discrimination. This is a fucking attack in a world we live in. This is one of the worst and discriminating power moves ever.
