I hate that subreddits and shitty corporate owned wikis replaced fan sites and fan forums, with a few exceptions. I got banned from the Animal Crossing Community Forums for telling someone I was only 11 years old and that they shouldn’t be so mean to me!!!
unrelated read Kirby Informer site they’re bringing th swag back i definitely do NOT write for them.

Tinkerbell.com (Circa 2008)
Used to end up here trying to find Tinkerbell stuff (Pixie Hollow for those who know) online as a child. You need to wayback machine this. I have no idea what it was for but I loved the design so much that I still remember it. I think your cursor was a little sparkle too Lol. Very Heavens Gate
Jesusdiamante.com
Super frilly Japanese clothing brand, not even my style but I love the way the site looks. Pleasing

Cat Marnell’s now defunct blogs. I don’t condone drug use. I think drugs are lame but these blogs are a great time capsule and are visually interesting. I used to love her amphetamine logic column for Vice mag and her book was also quite nice.
My favorite websites for last...
Carstuckgirls.com. Tagline is “Sexy girls get stuck with their cars in mud” Bizarre fetish site with no nudity to my knowledge, just pictures of girls w their cars stuck in mud snow etc. Lots of these pics used to circulate on Tumblr.

Changed my entire life. Found all my favorite reads here. I love Dennis Cooper. His PI recs would be so great… just had an idea…
Honorable mention:
Rookiemag.com (now archived)
Discovering Rookie Mag really impacted me as well. Learned so much on there as a middle school girl, felt like a new world. True tastemakers. My sisters boyfriend Fox…

used to spend hours digging for set rips, fan theories, and remakes. met some URL friends that later became IRL friends, got signed to a record label made up of other fans where i released some god awful dubstep, still keep up with some folks on socials that i met on there. ended up shutting down like 8 or so years ago and everyone just went to r/Skrillex on reddit which is how i got on reddit. very influential place for my online experience and this site def brings me back to the energy that site had, just a bunch of nerds with niche interests who just wanna talk about it with other nerds
EDIT: looks like they got a bunch of captures of it on wayback machine, big nostalgia trip looking at these

this is a great, super durable, simple, clean, juicy, swaggy pen body that takes a ton of refill types. no nonsense. PLEASE check it out but you have to import it from Japan via ebay for like $18 which is still cheap for a nice pen. I fill it with Pentel Energel 0.5 mm refills, the best pen refill god ever made. Smooth, not too sharp but still precise, doesn't smudge...

I miss her so much. Discontinued in the US in 2022. If you never got to try this I pity you. Might be available if u live outside the US.

This one is kind of a “no shit” because people have sent letters for like centuries but I think right now at least in America it’s seen as a novelty. it’s so hard to take true time to myself - time that isn’t work or browsing Reddit or fucking around on iPhone or playing video games but time to sitting down to hand write a letter to a dear loved one makes me consider what is true and what is rotten in my life. The “form“ of letter with like a start middle and end and meandering along the way is hard to express in other forms. Like are you gonna text your mom all that shit?
