Websites as shrines

December 18, 2021 12:52 AM

Character Shrines Visit these fantastic character shrines/fan listings for Angelic Pretty, Alpacas, RPG Shrine Directory, Update Log, Princess Allura of Voltron Legendary Defender, Allen Ridgeley of Xenosaga, Ziggurat 8 of Xenosaga, Prompto Argentum of Final Fantasy XV, Rosa Farrell of Final Fantasy IV

It's rarely that you stumble on new blogs or "personal websites". Whilst researching on webrings (A metafilter webring?), I revisited tilde.town's list of sites where I found the site above.

Not the RPG Shrines I was thinking of, but hey.

I love the absolute earnestness of these, and to know that the internet we lost is still out there somewhere.

Thanks for the post! While exploring the links, I stumbled onto a blog post about the first (?) webcam, trained on a coffee pot at Cambridge.

Every once in awhile, I wonder if I should bring back my old fansites/fanstuff (including some character shrines; the one I was most fond of was for the fictional band Limozeen, of Homestar Runner fame) but then decide that it's too much work, or too embarrassing, or something. Kudos to this old fan for reigniting their own flames, and giving me that urge again.

Hah, yes! It's still up thanks to Nulani, who is a great person all around. These guides took a surprising amount of time to make.
