WEBPERSON

hello, you can call me sol but i also go by egg. i'm just someone who grew up on the internet. it all began with the family pc in the living room where i played neopets and club penguin. i used to make bad fanfic and read homestuck. now i'm older and i still like gaming and being on the internet, but things on the web are much different now. some things for the better (faster technology, larger spaces of data, more ways to communicate) and some things for the worse (even more pervasive ads, companies stealing your data, everything being profit-driven). i hate that! and, i want a space all for my own - having grown up as geocities was dying i never really had that chance. i didnt use myspace but i did have a tumblr... still do, i guess, but even that still feels too social for me to interact.

i made this website to thoroughly document things i do - whether that be thoughts, completing games, or drawing. i have a pretty bad memory. also, i don't really use social media - as in, I try but I really am not great at keeping up with it. i do things too slow. i don't talk much. i feel more weird and self conscious speaking when i feel like people are listening... this is nice because it's just a space for me in the sense that you can't really comment unless you go out of your way to. eventually i'll find the courage to make a mark in the world and speak out, but for now this is enough for me.

i'm an introspective person, and have a terrible habit of bottling everything in - just how i was raised. i grew up in a cult. still kind of in it - figuring out how to leave without damaging my relationship with my family. i can't tell a lot of people things that i want to say, and i tend to talk in a roundabout way. this is just one way i can have an outlet and be personal without needing to explain myself. i have a tendency to push people away when i get close, otherwise i tend to be overwhelming.

i have dreams of telling stories that linger in the back of people's minds. my namesake comes from Solanin by Inio Asano as that manga is one of my big inspirations, amongst other things (most in the library tbh!) i'm currently writing drafts for a visual novel and a comic, so please look forward to it. i would love to make a video game someday.
