🌸 my wonderful friends
the loveliest people i know on the internet and in real life. thank you for existing ✨
luna ✦
@moonpetal · neocities & tumblr
luna is honestly the reason i got into making my own site. she's been building beautiful little corners of the internet for years and her aesthetics are everything. we've been friends since we were both sad teenagers on tumblr and now we're sad adults on tumblr — growth! she makes the most stunning digital illustrations and always knows the right book to recommend. 💜
✦ a note from me
you are the moon to my stars and i mean that literally and figuratively. thank you for always picking up the phone at 2am and for introducing me to chamomile tea. i owe you everything including approximately 47 borrowed books. 🌙
fern
@fernhollow · neocities
a botanical photographer and nature journaler. her neocities site is the most peaceful place on the internet — it's full of macro photos of moss and mushrooms and little nature finds. we bonded over our shared love of botanical gardens. 🌿
✦ a note from me
fern i genuinely think you see the world more beautifully than anyone. the way you photograph tiny things makes me want to cry (good crying). 🍄
marigold
@marigoldsoup · tumblr
a poet and music lover who writes the most beautiful little vignettes about everyday life. her tumblr is a constant source of joy. she's always sending me spotify playlists at random times and they're always exactly what i needed. 🎵
✦ a note from me
the playlist you sent me during that rough week last autumn genuinely saved my life. i still listen to it when it rains. ☕
robin
@robinsong · neocities
a watercolour artist and birdwatcher who lives by the sea. robin's art is all misty coastlines and birds in flight. she taught me how to properly hold a paintbrush over video call and it changed everything. 🐦
✦ a note from me
i'll never forget you patiently correcting my grip for 45 minutes on that one call. my watercolours have never looked the same since (better). 🎨
clover
@cloverpatch · neocities
the coziest person alive, no contest. clover knits, bakes sourdough, grows herbs on her windowsill, and somehow also finds time to maintain the loveliest neocities site. she's my inspiration for slow living. 🌱
✦ a note from me
the little knitted bookmark you sent me in the post last year lives permanently in my current book. it makes me smile every single time. 🧶
sage
@sagepage · tumblr
a dark academia enthusiast who reads gothic novels by candlelight and makes it look incredibly romantic. sage introduced me to so many books i now consider essential. we have very long late-night conversations about fictional characters. 📖
✦ a note from me
i'm still not over that plot twist we discussed at midnight last october. you were right about everything. you're always right. it's a little annoying. 🕯️
