i made the first version of this website back at the start of 2023. i abandoned it pretty quickly because i felt it was ugly and poorly made .

then i had like at least 3 different remake attempts that i chipped away at over the next year until i eventually landed on this version of the site. they were all so art heavy that i got burnt out and never got around to finishing them. oh, i also had what i call the "0th version" of the site back in 2022, which was so primitive i can't even count it as the first version. i really could not wrap my head around html and css for a loooooong time.

i have archives of most versions of the site, but after some deliberation, i've chosen not to publish them. there's a part of me that's an annoying media preservation extremist who thinks i should publicly archive everything i've ever made but mehhhhhhhh i'll be as secretive as i want.

however, some of the assets i made for them are pretty cute, and it would be a shame if they never saw the light of day, so i've put together a curated selection of the greatest hits from each previous version:

chibi drawing of spinach floating, her dress flowing in the wind. chibi drawing of a timid child with long, messy orange hair, a red shirt with a pink and yellow undershirt, blue shorts, and red baggy socks. they are posing with their two index fingers touching. my mascot soup with shorter hair sleeping on a big frilly purple pillow, his head moving up and down as he snores.
spinach and soup's heads appearing to be peeking over an invisible wall. 2 chibi characters standing next to each other. one has long, dark blue hair tied in low pigtails with black ribbons, blue eyes with red highlights, and wears a baggy grey sweater, black shorts, grey baggy socks, and black mary jane shoes. she's standing with her hands together in a timid pose. the other has medium length black hair in low pigtails with two white hairclips on the left side of their head, black eyes, wearing a stripy black and white jacket atop a black t-shirt and a black and white plaid skirt and long, black boots. they have their hands in their pockets. soup with shorter hair spinning in a counter-clockwise direction with a slightly annoyed expression.
