hello! my name is mads! this website was started in February 2023, and is the first project i've done with html, and is basically the accumulation of all of my coding knowledge. it's like a little plant i am nurturing and sometimes forget to water for a few months. whoospies o(*￣▽￣*)ブ. i enjoy maintaining a space that really gets to feel like "me", especially since i'm not very fond of most social media (neocities is one of a whopping two sites i use with any regularity, haha). i have a lot of hobbies, but drawing and cooking are my main ones. i mostly illustrate, but also like to make up and design characters! most of the non-pixel or button assets around here were made by me :). i've also been a vegetarian for ~16-ish years now, but eat mostly plant-based nowadays. i'm currently studying art history with the goal of a career in museum curation- art history is a major passion of mine, too, but one that's harder to incorperate into a website... (￣﹏￣；) i also love music, and collect CDs- there's a list of which ones i own on my music page, which i try to keep updated! i've also started getting more into actively acquiring DVDs recently, but i don't have much of a collection yet. basically- i heart physical media. (semi-related... i also REALLY love comics!) i can be really shy, and have a hard time remembering to reach out to others, but i DO like to chat with people, so feel free to send me a message on my profile or guestbook here! :D

lists here- gonna go for a "ten [category] you can read/watch/etc to get to know me better" theme instead of just "favs"... i feel like it's tighter, plus it enables me to talk about things i love but wouldn't necessarily recommend, haha
