RANDOM Q&A:
Q: Why did you make this site?
A: I stumbled upon Neocities during 2020, when the pandemic was ongoing and everyone was locked up in their homes. I wanted to know if there were still sites out there that were similar to what I've seen when I was a kid: customizable and without the weird stuff like algorithms and the requirement to engage with one another.
After discovering this site, I tried making my own, and it lasted for a month until I deleted both the old site... along with my other social media. Yeah I know, it's not really a good reason why I had to delete them all, and looking back, I kinda regret my decision. Let's just say that back then I thought it was a choice out of a desire to be forgotten, or rather, be not remembered X')
Q: Where did 'aschenmori' come from?
A: It came from a combination of 2 words:
- aschen: Took it from "Aschenputtel", the German name of Cinderella. I also think it means "ash"?
- mori: from the Latin quote "memento mori" (remember that you will die). Also double meaning with the Japanese word 森, meaning "forest"
I wanted a name that had the image of something like a plant that was replanted into a new place. An old forest burned down to ashes, then regrowing it sounds like... a too extreme version of that, but I'll take it since that's basically what happened I guess! X'D
It's also the inspiration for the name of this site ("a shrub dreams to grow into a forest").
Q: How/Where did you learn HTML/CSS?
A: I've barely grasped the basics, pal! Dunno what I'm doing here!! :'))
If you consider having a computer class at Grade 8 as training then I guess I did have some experience I guess?? X'D Then again we really didn't learn much, RIP to my teacher but damn was he not a good teacher. Like writing down your code in PAPER?? Be for real sir ;_;
But really, go look for tutorials on sites like W3Schools and stackoverflow! Look for templates when you wanna see how things would look! My site's literally made through Sadness's Layout Maker! Ask others for some help! You can do it! I believe in you!
Q: Do you have any other ways I can contact you in?
A: Here's some of my other social media links then!
I'll have to mention though, I'm pretty bad at managing my social media accounts 🥲
The most reliable way to contact me as of now would be through my email.
Still, here's my details!
