neocities guide - why you should build your own html website
do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again?
try neocities!!
what is neocities?
neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words:
"we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."
why should I make my own website?
web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!!
building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.
what would I even put on a website?
the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !!
here are some cool example sites to inspire you:

Yves Loop Era Things
collecting fun facts from we learned during the era ( continuously updated)
Behind The Scenes Stuff
Yves is primarily signed to Paix Per Mil, a label/artist's collective (according to the PPM site) started by R&B artist Millic. But another company (Golden Dragon?) co-manages her- agency seems to mostly be the idol managers, and might be the one Yves refers to like her dad
The 2nd ceo secured the apartment where she and her older sister, Sumin, live. Most likely through a jeonse lease (which sounds like an awesome system ngl)
OT12 Related Stuff
During Loop showcase: Hyeju visited before it started, Chuu watched the start. Yeojin and Jinsoul complain about not getting invited/Yves check your KKT
From Fromm: Gowon just has the passcode and goes to Yves' apartment
060124 From this mini fanmeet clip with ARTMS (trans c/o Orrery)
Q: Any stories from using the same waiting room as #Yves at MuBank? Curious on what it's like promoting together!
Heejin: It was kind of like a dating thing, like we're in the same waiting room but there's just this wall between us, so we talk through that wall. And actually Sooyoung unnie's manager was our manager from a long time ago. So I think we all had a fun time. Choerry: It was fun. It felt new.
Kim Lip: I said let's take some pics and she said "ok I'll be out right after this" and so I got out, but never saw her..
Heejin: It's because, you know the spot for photos at MuBank? Choerry: the stairs
Heejin: People wait a looong time for that!
Choerry: There's a line,
Heejin: There's a line so...
Lip: So I just figured we'll take some later. Heejin: Yeah we'll be on shows together again anyways
053124 question from Yves fansign (trans c/o Orrery)
Today at MuBank, with my #ARTMS friends, we just had a wall divider between us in the waiting room. I was taking selcas and someone kept saying "wow pretty", "nice pics", so I was wondering "are they talking to me?" and I looked over? And they had their phone sticking out from above like "this", taking pics of me? Such a scary experience~.. So, when they were changing outfits, I heard "time to change, time to change" so I stood on a chair and watched. And when Jinsoul was getting her makeup done she kept calling my name. If I didn't answer she'd keep calling my name. So it was a bit of a tiring? day today.
Random Shit
calling herself a "delinquent apple bunny lyricist composer ninja football blogger idol" 😭 (about ninja, someone lightheartedly asked her why she always sleep at others' house and not hers so yves said shes "living the ninja life")

yves - fromm log July 2024
translations from Litell_Johnn unless otherwise noted
071524
Yves:
After nail shop
I went shopping at Muji
and as I came out
I met two Engdus in a row
How did they recognize me
I was squatting down on the street
Took photos holding all the stuff I bought ㅋ
But usually
At places like Daiso or Muji
I can be found often
I'm an unofficial ambassador
'🍎 I'm an unofficial eatbassador at 60 Chicken'
Amazing
You like chicken?
[6 minutes later]
When's my food cominggg
Gonna eat with Buldak
'🍎 I'm an unofficial ambassador at Juno Hair. Last year I went at least once a month and sometimes twice'
Agh so funny
I see everyone has at least one ambassador deal
[5 minutes later]
I'm a house ambassador also
My endorphins activate when I get home
071824
Right
I'm gong on Oneuniverse.ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ
I wanna meet Tyla-nim too..
I will practice hard for the festival
So that I will not ruin it,,,
Let's gogogogogoooo
I see the vlog went downㅜ!
Apparently it will probably go up tomorrow because of English subtitling.ᐟ
Sorry ㅜㅜ.ᐟ
'🍎 I saw a bit of the start and this vlog seems to be edited by Sooyoung-nim, is that right?'
Yes I respect the editor-nims so much….
Huuuuueng ㅜ
So you saw it already 🥴
So fast..?!
You saw the whole thing?
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I was worried it was no fun as I was making it
Gowon just appears
Haaa now you're looking forward to it more
Don't
It's honestly so low-quality
Sobb
Thanks
Wait for tomorrow
Also my fingernail got bent today
while lifting a package
ㅜ
Blood streaming down
But
The bleeding stopped ㅋ
Hang in there until festival, fingernail
I'm going to another Yveslog filming tomorrow
I'll send some Shop Makeup Yibu selfies
071824
Yves:
'🍎 I ate Qooqoo today'
Haaa
Takes me back to the days when I worked at the Airport Market Qooqoo location
Every day I'd be like
Ahh ... I burned another one...
As I scooped a waffle onto the tray
and I'd eat it
I'm sorry
[4 minutes later]
Darn it I was telling a funny story
Phone turned off
So we weren't allowed to serve burnt ones
So every day I'd be like "Welp, sure looks like I burned that..." and I would eat one at a time..
I'm sorry
But I really worked hard
Branch manager-nim
No or I'd say I burned it but I didn't
Right
Back in my day the minimum wage used to be 6k or 7k..
It's all faint~~ in my memory
At Shinsa Middle School? Was it
I also worked at the Shinjeon Tteokbokki there
We'd get entertainment agency orders
and stuff
The time I saw Kim Yeon-koung-nim was
when I worked at Hongdae Dongburi near Hongik University Station
I see that
there are many newbie Engdus here
Everyone don't leave meeeeeee
I'll be good to you sobb
'🍎 After you finished work at Hongdae did you hit up the food spots??'
No
Back in my day, after my shift they would be filming
Street Date or whatever it was called for Entertainment Weekly
and I'd have to wade through all the people
Yves:
'🍎 Did you join the Loona agency through casting or did you audition there'
1 I went to audition through an Incheon vocal academy > rejected
2 Went to the company's open auditions > they cut off right before my turn because they had too many people
3 Auditioned at Gangnam Dream Vocal > rejected
A month later, around 10 o'clock, I was leaving academy to go to my acting lesson
My instructor said, "The director at the company you didn't get into said he wants to see you again tomorrow~"
I went there and it was Byeonggi director-nim
I passed on the spot there
Then I prepared for debut
Right so in the reject folder
I was in that pile and he picked me back out
As expected of Father
Byeonggi director-nim even sent me a massive bouquet when I debuted ㅜㅜ
🥹💗
This is really a secret but
It's a secret so I won't do it
When I decided to start over as a soloist
I called Byeonggi director-nim on the phone
and I cried my heart out
But director-nim also cried.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
That's a secret.
I mean I was crying while talking about how
At any rate gulp sob I was only able to debut during my hard times because blub gulp of director-nim so sob
The meaning of those tears are
tears of gratitude, that's what
I don't know, I think that's how I felt back then
After going through a lot of heartburn
When I came across someone who listened to my heart
That made me cry
~~~~~
Yves:
But seriously we are all together.. Even though we are scattered
We can achieve our new dreams where each of us are now
And then we can meet againnnn
Loona you unpredictable troublemakers I love you
'🍎 On a different topic, I'm actually grateful to the people who provoked Yibu at meetings by saying things like "You can't be a soloist" or "You need to be in a group"! Separately from how precious Loona is, it seems like they (unintentionally 😇) gave you a reason to reawaken yourself'
Right!
I didn't feel hurt even back then
On the inside I was like "Darn it who are you to tell me this.ᐟ"
thinking that
Well no I did feel a little hurt..
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
But I can just show you going forward
Feels new to go down memory lane for the first time in a while
I love youuuuuu
I don't know if all my feelings will reach you
But thank you
for caring for me and loving me when I'm such a troublemaker~~~~~~~~~
Thinking back on all this, I realize I really am so happy right now
Just like the memorable quote from The Light in Your Eyes, let's live in the present 😊💗
The me of today only exists because of me back then
I was so overwhelmingly happy back then, too
But I'm even happier now so I don't want to go back~
I'm going to make even happier things happen from now on
So it's okay
