Welcome to this peaceful corner of the internet, a digital sanctuary I created for myself. In this post, we'll explore a personal side project connected to this blog that I've been considering for a long time: a new category of articles called "Characters' Compendiums," which I plan to publish as soon as I have time to develop them. These articles will let readers explore my meme universe and its characters in greater depth, working like a personal wiki section of sorts where I can openly share all the lore I've created for each character in a way remiscent of D&D information pages. These blog posts will contain detailed descriptions of each character and the roles they have in the lore of my own meme universe. Furthermore, these articles will include power rankings, abilities, trivia, and other details that will be available for everyone to read rather than being relegated only in my own private notes.
Some people might say, "Oh! But that's a job better suited for an actual Wiki site, so why not create your personal one instead?" Well, first off, this website allows me to structure things in a way that regular Wiki sites cannot. Also, a blog site is deeply personal and makes you feel like you're actually involved in the things you do as a writer. Moreover, blog sites also serve as a point of reference for people who might be interested in finding any info they desire. Unlike a standard Wiki page that just lists cold, hard facts, these blog posts are crafted from a narrative, in-universe viewpoint that allows readers to engage with my written content directly, free from any intermediary friction usually felt while navigating other websites.
When I first began publishing my own custom lore, I frequently encountered stringent website character limits that significantly hindered my ability to narrate stories as I envisioned. I often had to omit significant details to condense the content to a single page, losing important plot points in the process. This also led to specific ideas I had for each character being conveyed in a manner that did not truly satisfy me as a writer. The nuances of my thoughts and ideas were often left out from individual website pages, making my writings feel disconnected from my actual ideas and lowering the overall "coolness" factor I was originally aiming for.
Regarding this upcoming blog section, I'm still testing out some page layouts to see if I can make this a reality. If everything goes well, I might start publishing my own blog pages one at a time; otherwise, I'll find another way. The role of this blog isn't just to write things but also to house and share every meme-related content I've made. Even if a long time passes, there will always be this place left for other people to come and appreciate all the things I did. I hope to make it into some kind of exciting place for others regardless of personal tastes and preferences.
