It took me literal months to finally post these, but here’s several versions of an emoji for holding your favorite characters like dolls!
These are free to edit! You are absolutely welcome and encouraged to draw your favorite characters or OCs over them and use the emojis however you like.
I don’t care about credit as long as you don’t claim the base art as your own.
And of course i made versions with my own characters:
The very best advice I can give people who are dismayed at how bad modern movies are is
1: watch older movies. like pre 1990s or 1980s. Black and White films are great but you don't HAVE to jump to black and white if you struggle with them. There is a history of colour out there, and you will be shocked at how many genres you've never tried before will end up appealing to you.
2: watch foreign films. It doesn't have to be New Wave Arthouse films from France or anything. Like Squid Game? Check out S. Korean movies. Like anime? Check out some Japanese films. Like big over the top action films? Watch RRR. Like Superhero style things? Check out Chinese historical Wuxai epics. Netflix has a plethora of foreign films from all over the world. You don't even need to go looking where you can watch them.
You don't have to wait for Hollywood if you are no longer entertained.
Mosfilm, the oldest Russian movie company, has a free youtube channel with their movies with english subtitles
Grjngo Western is a channel that uploads western movies... perhaps not the BEST western movies (you're not gonna find the Dollars Trilogy here) but if you just want to watch some westerns to kill the time BOY do they have a lot of them for you!
Wu Tang Collection has a BUNCH of classic Kung Fu movies from all over the place! If you like vintage kung fu films or just need something entertaining to chill out to, they're a great channel as well
Korean Classic Film is exactly what it says it is. A channel that archives Korean cinema, especially older cinema, and has it online for free with english subs
There is also an endless supply of non Hollywood movies on Archive.org. You just need to do a bit of searching. And most of the time if a film is really old, someone will have uploaded it to youtube in HD at some point.
There’s no modifiers to this, btw. Not “its okay to be a sex worker if you have no other options” or “its okay to be a sex worker but also you poor poor victim”. No. It is okay to be a sex worker. Full stop.
genuinely frustrated and upset about how much using neocities as a filehosting service is being spread everywhere. they disable hotlinking for non-html files for free accounts so it won’t even work properly for those purposes and even supporter accounts are asked not to be used as a file dump host directly by the website. neocities offers a service that no other website provides and that i think is extremely important, but they sure don’t make a ton of money doing it. please, please, do not use neocities as a filehost, they don’t want you to and i don’t want you to either. there is a reason they ask users not to
Going to put all this in its own post too by popular request: here's how you make your own website with no understanding of HTML code at all, no software, no backend, absolutely nothing but a text file and image files!
First get website server space of your own, like at NEOCITIES. The free version has enough room to host a whole fan page, your art, a simple comic series, whatever!
The link I've provided goes to a silly comic that will tell you how to save the page as an html file and make it into a page for your own site. The bare minimum of all you need to do with it is JUST THIS:
Change the titles, text, and image url's to whatever you want them to be, upload your image files and the html file together to your free website (or the same subfolder in that website), and now you have a webpage with those pictures on it. That's it!!!!!
.....But if you want to change some more super basic things about it, here's additional tips from the same terrible little guy:
That last code by itself is:
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=001.html">
Change "001.html" to wherever you want that link to take people. THIS IS THE REASON WHY when you go to bogleech.com/pokemon/ you are taken instantly to the newest Pokemon review, because the /pokemon/ directory of my website has an "index.html" page with this single line of code. Every pokemon review has its own permanent link, but I change that single line in the index file so it points to the newest page whenever I need it to!
While I catered these instructions to updating a webcomic, you can use the same template to make blog type posts, articles or just image galleries. Anything you want! You can delete the navigational links entirely, you can make your site's index.html into a simple list of text links OR fun little image links to your different content, whatever! Your website can be nothing but a big ugly deep fried JPEG of goku with a recipe for potato salad on it, no other content ever, who cares! We did that kind of nonsense all the time in the 1990's and thought it was the pinnacle of comedy!! Maybe it still can be?!?! Or maybe you just want a place to put some artwork and thoughts of yours that doesn't come with the same baggage as big social media?
Make a webpage this way and it will look the same in any browser, any operating system for years and years to come, because it's the same kind of basic raw code most of the internet depends upon!
In the wake of the TikTok ban and revival as a mouthpiece for fascist propaganda, as well as the downfall of Twitter and Facebook/Facebook-owned platforms to the same evils, I think now is a better time than ever to say LEARN HTML!!! FREE YOURSELVES FROM THE SHACKLES OF MAJOR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND EMBRACE THE INDIE WEB!!!
You can host a website on Neocities for free as long as it's under 1GB (which is a LOT more than it sounds like let me tell you) but if that's not enough you can get 50GB of space (and a variety of other perks) for only $5 a month.
Create and surf awesome websites for free.
And if you can't/don't want to pay for the extra space, sites like File Garden and Catbox let you host files for free that you can easily link into NeoCities pages (I do this to host videos on mine!) (It also lets you share files NeoCities wouldn't let you upload for free anyways, this is how I upload the .zip files for my 3DS themes on my site.)
Host your files with decency.
The cutest free file host you've ever seen
Don't know how to write HTML/CSS? No problem. W3schools is an invaluable resource with free lessons on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and a whole slew of other programming languages, both for web development and otherwise.
W3Schools offers free online tutorials, references and exercises in all the major languages of the web. Covering popular subjects like HTML,
Want a more traditional social media experience? SpaceHey is a platform that mimics the experience of 2000s MySpace
SpaceHey is a retro social network focused on privacy and customizability. It's a friendly place to have fun, meet friends, and be creative.
Struggling to find independent web pages that cater to your interests via major search engines? I've got you covered. Marginalia and Wiby are search engines that specifically prioritize non-commercial content. Marginalia also has filters that let you search for more specific categories of website, like wikis, blogs, academia, forums, and vintage sites.
Marginalia Search is a small independent do-it-yourself search engine for surprising but content-rich websites that never ask you to accept
Wiby is a search engine for older style pages, lightweight and based on a subject of interest. Building a web more reminiscent of the early
Maybe you wanna log off the modern internet landscape altogether and step back into the pre-social media web altogether, well, Protoweb lets you do just that. It's a proxy service for older browsers (or really just any browser that supports HTTP, but that's mostly old browsers now anyways) that lets you visit restored snapshots of vintage websites.
With ProtoWeb, you can browse the web like it's 1995!
Protoweb has a lot of Geocities content archived, but if you're interested in that you can find even more old Geocities sites over on the Geocities Gallery

And really this is just general tip-of-the-iceberg stuff. If you dig a little deeper you can find loads more interesting stuff out there.
The internet doesn't have to be a miserable place full of nothing but doomposting and targeted ads. The first step to making it less miserable is for YOU, yes YOU, to quit spending all your time on it looking at the handful of miserable websites big tech wants you to spend all your time on.
