Candied Onions is now public

1/30/2026

The journey from how this website first popped into my head, to today, was surprisingly fast and relatively easy.

HTML is a side-hobby of mine, I like to think. While yes, I really do love building websites (hell, sometimes it's all I want to do all day long, such was the case with my very first website and now this one) and looking at other people's Neocities sites, I've never really considered it to be a hobby of mine in the same leagues as my comic illustrations or filmmaking. It's always been a sort of means-to-an-end if you catch my meaning.

But CANDIED ONIONS is different in a way. Instead of it being a self-made platform for my comics or whatever else, it's just whatever bullshit I feel like making. Blogs, status updates, art, films, everything.

I first got the idea for this website while I was stoned. I don't really remember what prompted it, but I suddenly had the design for a new website in my head and I felt a strong urge to try to make it a reality. I didn't get past typing "" though and waited until the next day, when I was good and sober, to start working on it. I didn't even have an idea of what I wanted the site to end up being, I just wanted to see that design exist.

Using my sparse HTML skills, I managed to make the first page, which happens to be the one you're on right now! After that, idea after idea just started coming. Stuff like "wouldn't it be funny if I had a Mastodon feed inside of a microwave? Microblog, microwave, ROFL." That kind of stuff. I also dabbled in javascript in order to have the randomly selected backgrounds and advertisements on the site. The ads on this page were actually meant to be on the old penguinscomic website (to those unfamiliar, that's what this website used to be until I changed it. Read my previous blog for more info) and have been kicking around in my files since circa last April.

I'm exicted to see where this little site will go and what I'll end up doing with it.

That's it.

Hello, world.

I HAVE CREATED A NEW WEBSITE!!

You may be possibly wondering "hey! what the hell happened to the old website?!" and while I appreciate your enthusiasm, we cannot overcome this dastardly conundrum until you calm down!

...Alright, enough of the witty banter. There are a couple reasons, and they are this:

• The old website didn't age that well.
• I wanted a new look.
• I wanted a website that actually allowed me to be myself fully, and not a catalyst for a brand I was trying to get off the ground.

Really doesn't get more complicated than that. I felt like whatever I did on that old site had to, in some way, had to conform to this identity of a brand. I don't believe in that philosophy anymore--the idea that people on the internet are not really people, but talking heads trying to sell you something. It's what killed the old internet, and a lot of the reason why it sucks now. The internet went from an incredibly niche and interpersonal place, where you could find some weird website greeting their future girlfriend, to pretty much just TV, especially in the sense that it's a 24/7 auction channel. It's ridiculous and I hate it, so I left that philosophy behind.

I can't gaurantee the stuff I post on here, particularly my blogs, will be any different compared to what I usually post on my Spacehey, but in general this site will just be a place for me to chill and post random garbage. My art, comics, films, ramblings, whatever I feel like. Think of it as my digital landfill (there's a band name in there somewhere). So, yeah! Follow my neocities profile if you so choose. I might get an RSS feed up and running if there's enough people to warrant it.

If you feel a compulsion to talk to me directly for some strange reason, you can email me here.

That's it :P
