Neocities: An excited discovery for me, The Archeologist of the Old Internet ✨️
Hello everyone, today I want to share this discovery of mine for all of you who are missing the Geocities. This project called Neocities is a social network with free hosting to create sites and blogs, exactly what Geocities was.
This project is not new, it was created in 2013, but I only found out about it because of a discussion on Twitter about how social media nowadays sucks and people in the comments were giving alternatives and a blessed person mentioned this project.
I certainly haven't had a blog/website in almost a decade, but a blog/website hosted on Geocities must be over a decade, so I definitely want to join the community. One of the things I liked to know is that a lot of people actively use Neocities and even young people who haven't had contact with Geocities are using it.
I just haven't created it yet because.... I don't really know what I want to do with it. I like a lot of things, I like to talk about a lot of things, so I really don't know lmao.
Well, that's it. An alternative for those who want to go back to what social media was like in the 90s/00s and a chance for nostalgic people to remember what it was like to use Geocities to connect with people. Speaking of which... hey Neocities! 👋 what if... you sponsor me!✨️ Just saying... you know, just giving a friendly suggestion...

physics girlies unite
Having no control over the absolute wreck you call your brain. Thinking in parallel to the speed of light. Millions of thoughts fighting to share the stage in your head even if it's dark all around it. It's chaos. It's life. It's electrically alive.
"What if I told you I'mma mastermind?"
"It was all by design; cause I'mma mastermind"
I am literally one of the laziest people with making backgrounds - either manually or looking for a good image, so I looked online for some generators and thought I would share them here!

Oh my god, I've just seen this story on instagram about this guy that filled his bathtub with waterbead...except he didn't think about how he was going to empty it.
So he unplugged the bathtub which was apparently the worst idea he could possibly have because this happened
So he panicked and started asking people on the internet what he should do. Which was also a bad idea.
First suggestion: flush the toilet
This caused a smelly overflow that flooded the whole bathroom.
Second suggestion: vaccum the beads
His vaccum caught fire.
At this point it had actually spread to the neighborhood and people came to ask question but he denied knowing anything about it. He then discovered that it's invaded the whole sewer system.
And yet, he continued to take suggestion from the internet.
Third suggestion: put salt in
It actually worked. Well, until.
Poop apprently started flooding his house.
And then the streets.
It all happened yesterday so we're still waiting on an update on the situation but I hadn't laugh like this in a while.
You should go and watch the whole story (it's in 4 parts)
It's in french, but you get it even if you don't speak it and his screams of panic are hilarious
Word of warning: don't fill your bathtub with waterbeads. Just don't.
THE INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE ; AMC productions.
The look on lestat's face! Like he is angry that he's doing this when he wants to give louis attitude for being a mean bitch to him hours ago, but then he hears her and is a little, if not a lot, intrigued about her.
Now that they're playing daddies to little Claudia, they're are absolutely going to discuss the clothes, ah yes, the joy of parents.
This was probably the funniest part of the episode😂😂, lestat being his usual sarcastic self.
He really has been away from children for too long😂
No comment, teen problems😂
This fight! They act so much like a family now, parents fighting over their teenage vampire daughter. Despite the fact that lestat is overly annoyed most of the times about Claudia's antics he doesn't entirely hate the concept.
This scene is almost a depiction of the possible consequences, –although the argument here subsides–, of Claudia's curiousity.
Louis told Claudia to be careful when digging around and troubling lestat with questions because as knew all to well, that past troubles some people.
This was a beautiful scene. Louis introducing Claudia to the idea that love works the same for all –objective in basics and free for subjective interpretations of the nuances. He answered her questions with just a few words but did so gently, not rebuking her, not confusing her more, just telling what it really is. This scene says so much about Louis and his acceptance of his sexuality throughout his years with lestat.
He's embraces that part of his identity.
This show!!! I mean the way they've portrayed Anne Rice's vampires on-screen, as eternal beings with having subtle shades of humanity. Of being murderers, almost like apex predators in their own habitat but still having the similar concerns of failure as a parent, of hurting their loved ones. And sometimes, of hunting the wrong prey, which is clearly the humane side of them bothering.
EPISODE 4, S1
I AM IN ABSOLUTE LOVE WITH THIS ADAPTATION!!
Oh this scene absolutely melted me, Sam Reid plays lestat with perfect charisma and character.
Here, I just died of happiness. This one was literally brilliant dilevery, on both the actors part. The feelings, the buildup to that kiss of acceptance and the aftermath, everything!
Well, lestat's french.🔪
This scene was absolute gem! The little sounds from lestat- 'nuh-uh-uh-uh', 'hmm' just were so effortlessly delivered! And the laughter they shared, please!!! Literal soulmates!
Lestat's a funny french twat. This is what being a pro vampire, queer and french man in love does to you, apparently.
There interactions please😭😂😂. Daniel Malloy being a hardcore journalist taking no bullshit like his young self and straight up being a no-nonsense-patronizing journalist to perfection!
