The odd, naive aesthetic of old internet horror. TERFs, MAPs, or any other people who engage in exclusive/harmful bullshit are not welcome on this blog, no exceptions.

I recently wrote a blog post about my experiences running this site. It was fun to write. I lost progress on it which made me drop it for a while but I got myself to finish it today.
As for the future of LFFE: it will be reborn at some point. It won't be focused only specifically on web horror anymore, but due to that being one of my major interests, it'll still come up a lot. No, the next LFFE is going to become a blog about all my personal aesthetics. I plan on them being segmented into different tags and such, there won't be any of the standard aesthetic-core tags anymore. It's all just a tribute to everything I love.
A few days ago, I got permission from Tony Domenico to create a dramatic reading of his most recent work: 3D Workers Island.
I am incredibly proud of this. It is my first ever full-fledged attempt at making a reading of something and I think it came out pretty good. I'm super happy! I hope you all enjoy it too. I may do more readings in the future, we'll see.
I'm sure a lot of you miss my posts. I have another project in the midst that's a little similar to this, although with a different tone. I'll show after I finish a blog post about my overall experiences running this blog. Thank you all for the support all those years back when I was younger and weirder.
my name is Majed from Gaza. We miraculously escaped the ravages of war, and had to pay a large sum of money to escapeđ. Today, my wife, three children, and I live in Egypt, but life here is very difficult and expensiveđ„ș. We do not have a residence permit, and most of my family and loved ones in Gaza are still suffering in harsh conditions. I set an initial goal of raising $3,000 to provide for our basic needs. With your support, we can reach our goal. It is not just a donation, it is real relief to humanity in need, and a rescue for a family who is only a short distance from tragedy. Be the reason to change our lives for the better, and open the door of hope for us đđŒ. To help us, please donate via this link: https://gofund.me/f489e577
Many companies are complicit in Israelâs genocidal war against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza. All peaceful popular efforts, including boycott and divestment, to hold these entities accountable for their support of Israelâs crimes against Palestinians are justified.
BDS focuses on a specific number of the most complicit targets in order to maximize our impact. We call for boycotts & divestment against @CarrefourGroup, @Siemens, @PUMA & others, due to their proven complicity in Israelâs violations of Palestinian human rights.
Some companies, like Carrefour, have doubled down on their complicity by donating thousands of personal packages to the Israeli occupation army, thus directly supporting its commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Other companies, including @McDonalds, @Dominos, @PizzaHut, and @PapaJohns, have also made generous donations to Israelâs genocidal military.
They all deserve to be boycotted and divested from, regardless of the claim that their branches in various countries are wholly or partially owned by local businesses.
The parent company is complicit for allowing its Israel branch to support an ongoing military aggression that leading scholars of genocide have described as a âtextbook case of genocide.â
We encourage continued pressure on entities that support apartheid Israel and its genocidal war against our people in Gaza.

i remember when i first was watching gameplay of Cry of Fear when i was young and i remember the protag's design had a huge impact on me and i thought grey hoodies were like so badass and cool and i felt epic wearing one and as it turns out im gay and autistic weird
Yâknow, as much as I critique a lot of modern web horror, at the end of the day I tend to remember that a lot of old web horror that I grew up with had its own issues and that people that are growing up with this horror that super appreciate it are nevertheless having (mostly) the same experience I had with it.
This has Been... Ooh! Not Even a week! But what an Eventful week it has been, Hasn't it! I cannot Believe my Own Existence, honestly! But I feel as Though I must say a Few things! Between you, and me, and you, and me! A Conversation that I will sit in a Chair Backwards for, very Cool-like!-
I must have Said this so many time, The Reception has Been just Phenomenal! Stupendous! Everyone has been so Kind and the Support is immense! This is like a Dream to be able to Create my own Work that makes myself and Others so happy and get to Collaborate with other artists!
But it is also very Unforeseen and very Stressful, which has been taking Its Toll on my Health and I am Unable to Handle this Change at this moment. I know this sudden Boost was Unpredictable! I say and Say again, 'This Home! What do you See in this home?' All this to say I am going on a Very Small Hiatus until I am Well Enough again to return here and Meet everyone Properly! Working on Welcome Home, too, is one of my Priorities and so I will be Doing this while I am Away Also!
But there are a Few items I wanted to Leave before I took this Small break! (A few Weeks, I'll be Alright, wahaha!)
I know Welcome Home has become a Massive community, although I Have not seen it I have a Feeling it is all Over. I Hope we all Remember to be Kind to one Another and Look out for Each other even though we Are just beginning to Come together.
I also wanted to note, based on a Few Messages I received, regarding Welcome Home's lore and Mystery.
Please do not Repost old artwork that you have Found on this blog prior to January 2021. I believe Individuals are Assuming it Plays into this 'Game' somehow, But I am very Sorry to tell you that it was Very Early conceptual artwork for When I first began Reworking Welcome Home and plays no part in its Current Story! I don't Really want to Delete this work because It holds a place On This Blog as the date I returned to Working on Welcome Home! It is sentimental, but I feel as though Reposting it out of its Original Home brings Unnecessary confusion! (Had I known I would be seen by So Many, but it was so Unprecedented! The Next Update will reflect this!)
Additionally, please Do Not associate any real life experiences or tragedies with Welcome Home. Welcome Home is purely a work of my own fiction and does Not Correlate with any real life incidents! It would be insensitive to those Who have Experienced these tragedies first hand and others Involved. (I Will also Place this on the Next Update!)
Lastly, I will not be Answering Any speculative questions about Any of the Characters in any way or the story itself. I hope you will Discover the Answers to your questions as the Story Expands and you get to Explore deeper. I know there must be an Eagerness to Uncover everything and to know Everyone in Home much more intimately, but to give so many Details so quickly will hurt the story, I feel. I am Happy everyone is so excited to Dive in, but Please be patient to find out more.
I hope Folks will Be kind to these requests, but I understand if it is not so. It is so large that Everything is Completely out of my Hands... I don't think I understand how to Handle these things yet. However, I do know I need to Take care of myself and My Art, Because I would not be here right now without Welcome Home. I hope Everyone will like my Next Update... I really Want to make Something I am proud of and I Now have so many Folks to do that with!
Thank you so much, Everyone, and I am so sorry about the small hiatus. But Uh... Hm... One last thought from me for Awhile! (I Like making those!) My Big Rust Bucket Fish was so beloved! My Professor stared at her with so much Awe, It made me so Happy! The Dive home Shook her little fin off, though! But I'll just Glue it back on!
Anywho! For any Inquiries on Anything, Please look to my Pinned Post on this Blog! I will only be Available through Discord! Thank you all for your Support!
I'm really, REALLY into that recent Welcome Home ARG. The effort is staggering and the character designs are very well done.
I know I haven't posted here in a long time, but I promise I'm still very well into horror. Just been super busy is all.
