I grew up at the peak of flash games and online virtual worlds. Club Penguin, GirlsGoGames, and Happy Wheels to name a few formative childhood experiences. I was a bit of a recluse as a result, but I'd say it has allowed me to develop greater empathy when communicating online - having seen and been part of the good and the bad parts of it. Seeing the decline of these games has also fueled my interest for web revival in the current day!

Fast forward a bit, I had a Carrd to act as the super swanky version of a linktree for my social media. It was alright, but I felt like I could go beyond that one day. Then there was the underlying on-off relationship I had with learning Tumblr theme building, an exploration of Everskies profile customisation, and then Spacehey. It reached a point where I needed to fully sate an appetite. On the 4th March, 2023, Biggus Boggus was born. Not only that, but a newfound (but also longtime coming) interest in web 1.0, and the online culture I was too young for by the slightest margin. That was devastating to me, to have missed out on the web when it embraced everything I love about art and subjectivity.

A proper manifesto regarding my take on the current state of the internet is coming soon, as I believe a lot can be said about how old web philosophies can coexist with current developments. My Instagram account's intact.
