Hi, I'm Tina! I'm an anime and manga otaku from the United States. I've been going to anime conventions since 2001 and cosplaying since 2002, and don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
I used to run a few Geocities sites (RIP) about anime and cosplay and stuff way back when, and in 2025 I found myself really really missing the sincerity and simplicity of that kind of website.
So in that vein, this site is hand-coded (apart from a few widgets like the visitor counter) with mostly semantic HTML and a little CSS. No frameworks, no WYSIWYG editors, and certainly no generative AI. The look and functionality is simple and barebones, but there are no ads, no collection of personal information, and no pressure on me to do this for any reason other than the love of my hobbies.
