about the website & html:
How did you learn to code? How long does it take you to make a layout?
: I am self taught and learned to code years ago on places like Neopets, Smackjeeves, and Myspace. I really relied on places like lissaexplains to learn. I got rusty over the years as places with customization slowly disappeared but in the past 5-ish years, my interest renewed and I was able to learn more neat CSS much easier as an adult. To make the bones of a layout (the divs and arrangement) is the easiest and shortest part of the process for me, taking anywhere from a few minutes to an hour if particularly extensive. The longest, hardest part is deciding the "aesthetic" and picking out/swapping graphics. This can take me anywhere from an hour to days lol.
Can you make me a layout? Can you help me code my website?
: Short answer: no. Long answer: I may help you if you ask me a *specific* question via email. It depends on what free time I have, but typically I don't answer.
How did you do [insert CSS/HTML effect here]?
What was that last.fm widget on your old website?
: The widget is available here.
What did you use for your art gallery?
I used lightbox javascript.
How do you come up with the theme of your layouts?
: I will literally base the entire thing off of a single gif/png of my choosing and fiddle with the colors, aesthetic, and arrangement until I'm satisfied. I don't really have an explainable method sorry...
Where do you get your graphics and pixels?
: From an old harddrive of mine filled with stuff from lost/dead websites from the early 00s, random pixel tumblrs when I'm lazy, or I create them myself (some of that stuff is available here. If a graphic of mine is not on my /sozai page, it's NOT free for use, sorry.)
Why isn't your site mobile friendly?
: It has nothing to do with being contrarian, I'm just lazy and can't be bothered to do it. Also, besides being a diary, I treat this website the way I do my art: I won't compromise my vision for others. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When will you finish or update [PAGE]?
: Eventually. Maybe. I have lots of plans but limited time and energy.
about the webmistress:What does lapin mean?
: It's French for rabbit!
Did you get my e-mail? Why you didn't reply?
: Sorry it's either: 1.) I'm lazy. 2.) I'm tired or 3.) I forgot. I'm really bad at socializing and keeping up with people.
Can I add you on Steam / PSN / etc. ? What about Discord?
: No, sorry! I don't play multiplayer games, anyways. As for Discord, I do not actively use it anymore, sorry.
Are you [insert positive/negative label here]?
: I don't really like labels.
Where else can I find you?
: Besides Toyhouse or on a niche forum, nowhere. I don't have any active presence on social media besides a barely used Xitter for my fandom antics.
miscellaneous:Can I use any of the art you made for my website?
: Absolutely not unless it's from here. I kindly ask that you do not use my art, or art that I've commissioned on your site, please.
Can we do an art trade? How can I contact you for one?
: I am not currently open for trades. When I AM open, you can email me or message me on Toyhouse.
Can I draw gift art of Milky?
: Of course, that would make me so happy! Feel free to post a link to it in my message box or email me and I'll add it to her gallery! (人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+
Can I request specific sozai?
: Email me your requests.
Pineapple on pizza?
: It's a yes for me dawg, I actually think it's quite delicious! (This isn't a frequently asked question but an important one. ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
