Here are some screenshots of previous versions of the site. It used to be somewhat more complex on the CSS side of things, but it occurred to me that A) stressing about CSS was preventing me from actually "finishing" the site and B) I don't care about web design enough to learn more CSS. Therefore the site is super bare bones now, and I like it like this. It also used to have a lot more writing on my own opinions, but I removed the majority for reasons sort of delineated on the "about" page.
The not found page is pretty much exactly as it was in the first iteration of the site. It holds up!
Some of these screenshots are super messed up because of the act of screenshotting, my switch to Firefox messing things up (namely, none of these pages had scrollbars, but Firefox doesn't support customizable scrollbars), and images disappearing. Yes, I made this two years ago. Yes, I am a terrible webmaster.
Really old version of the homepage. Godawful color scheme, but I do recall the divs did actually fit together?
Less old version of the homepage. The background image was fixed; it didn't just end like that.
Old about. You can also see what has changed about what details of my life I find important. (Also I deleted my Spacehey)
My old reading log. I did end up submitting to peer/fatherly pressure and making a Goodreads and a Letterboxd.
Old Lupin III shrine. For some reason the logo image (the one that should be to the left of the video) was a webp?? How did I let that slip through?
I used to have short reviews of, like, every single Lupin thing. Why??? Who cares??? (This is the page on theatrical releases, but there were also similar-looking ones for TV specials, TV shows, just Part I, and chapters of the manga (never finished that one))
Plan for Lupin III manga page
Really really old concept for what I wanted the site to look like (before I rapidly realized I did not (and do not) have the skills to make something like this) plus random Clarisse, Mamo, and Totoro
Below is the SCM playlist below used to accompany the Lupin III shrine. I wanted to preserve this playlist publicly because it absolutely slaps. If you're not inclined to listen to the whole thing, I would specifically recommend "M1 full size" as it is criminally underrated (probably because of the lack of name). Also the Bossa and Fusion album. I like that one.
