PF. Magic's Petz
Stray Kids
My name is Crush, I'm eight years old and the devil was my lover in a past life. In my current life I spend most of my time drawing weird little animals and kissing my wife.
I try not to adopt limits or labels if I'm not convinced of their utility. I want to appreciate what I have and pursue the things I'm interested in, rather than create from a place of spite or pain. Even if a work is dark, ugly, or hopeless, I like to think there's still a bit of the "will to life" present in the mere act of bringing it into the world.
Crushing began life in late 2020 as a Petz fansite hosted on Tumblr. Prior to this my only experience with web design had been lightly editing the CSS of Tumblr themes. Petz is what kickstarted my static web journey because I wanted to share the guides and resources I created for the game, but I didn't want everything to be restricted to the format of a blog or forum post.
The first version of the site was extremely minimal, hardly more than black text on a white background. I believe I used a layout from The Lilac Lynx as a base, although it no longer resembled the original at all by the time I was done with it. I was also using Tumblr drafts and a private Discord server to host all of my images and other files, which is just as much of a nightmare to manage as it sounds.
Version 2 didn't change much aside from the navigation, which was a sticking point for me in the beginning since I didn't want to have to edit separate HTML files for every single page if they weren't going to have much content on them. I was originally using JavaScript to make pages within a single HTML file, but that had the downside of not letting you link to individual pages, similar to but miraculously even worse than iFrames. I wasn't sure how to fix this until I stumbled across the John Doe template, which solved all of my problems with some extremely simple CSS.
I decided to move the site to Neocities after this update. As a funny aside, my Tumblr was suspended immediately after this because they didn't like the script I was trying to use to redirect to the new site.
Version 3 was my first attempt at building a more complex layout from scratch. The earlier iterations of the site were very bare-bones, which was fine by me since I valued the content and usability over anything else, but now that my navigation issues were solved and I understood more about HTML I wanted to experiment with the visuals. The only problem is that I didn't understand how to make it mobile responsive like the earlier layouts since they came with that out of the box, and it was even inconsistent across larger screen sizes which especially annoyed me.
After finishing the V3 layout I expanded the site to cover topics other than Petz, but continued using V2 for the new pages since it was more important to me that they were accesible on mobile. So V4 was essentially just V2 with some restructured navigation. I eventually moved the Petz site onto this layout as well after getting fed up with the poor responsiveness of the previous version.
This is also when I discovered VS Code and GitHub Pages. After testing it out for a few days I decided to move the site to Github since the Neocities editor sucks and I couldn't use it to host ZIP files, which is why I had been using Discord for most of my file hosting needs. Being able to edit everything locally and instantly push updates from the GitHub Desktop app was a huge upgrade.
The site didn't stay on GitHub for long since I didn't like the fact that I couldn't host anything too risqué on there. Not that my site is even all that explicit, it's more just the principle of the matter. I moved the main hub back to Neocities and now I just keep my Petz resources on GitHub.
With this redesign I completely did away with the tree-style navigation. I also learned how to use SVGs and had a theme switcher for a while, but I don't have much of an eye for color schemes so I eventually got rid of it.
You are here!
All I really ask is that you don't claim ownership of my work, copy and redistribute anything for profit such as by selling my art on t-shirts or tracing it for your own paid work, or attempt to sell my personal characters or concepts themselves. Common courtesies, essentially.
Otherwise I'm fine with my personal art and photography being used, edited, or archived. None of my original concepts are necessarily "closed," so you're welcome to interpret or expand on lore, make your own characters based on my species, or even sell your own works inspired by or taking place in my worlds (think typical "transformative fandom" activities). Any articles, guides, assets, and other resources that I provide here on the site are likewise free to mirror, reference, remix, and so on under the same terms.
As for commissions, gifts, or designs - you may use, edit, or repost these only if you are or have permission from the original client or owner of the character. While I am personally lenient about these things, other people may not appreciate their characters or commissioned artwork being used, so you should ask them about it rather than me in that case. If you purchase a character from me you are free to alter their design, use them in personal or commercial projects, or trade, gift, or resell them to someone else.
Crediting is of course appreciated if you use or are inspired by something I made, but I don't plan on hunting anyone down over this as long as you aren't doing any aforementioned profiting or claiming ownership. You can keep me anonymous in cases where you think it would be unwise to link back to me.
If you do use something I created and are feeling generous, or you just want to support me so I can keep doing what I do, consider leaving me a tip on Ko-fi.
All commission types are open
Date | Description | Status |

All works are digital and provided in PNG format.
I would describe myself as a character illustrator who specializes in creature design. I can draw a wide range of subjects, from cute toony mascots to grotesque movie monsters.
I have my preferences and may turn down a commission for any reason, but I like to keep my creative options open, so feel free to ask about anything that isn't on my "won't draw" list below. You'll receive no judgement from me even if it turns out that I can't accept your request.
* This encompasses entertainers such as actors, idols, streamers, athletes, and so on, provided that they are adults (18 or older) in real life. I will not draw real minors whatsoever, or age down adult celebrities.
At this time I do not do limited slots for commissions. If the status at the top of the page says that I'm open, it means I'm currently accepting inquiries. I typically only close if I need to clear out backlog or I'm going to be AFK for a long period of time, which is rare.
Most pieces will take a few days to a few weeks to complete depending on their complexity and my current workload. I will let you know if something has come up that will cause a delay. Refer to the queue section at the top of the page to see what I'm currently working on (the queue is anonymized so only the date and commission type will be listed).
If I feel like your character or scenario is so complex or outside of my comfort zone that it would be too difficult for me to draw at all, I will likely just decline the commission rather than charge more for it. In general I am fine with busy markings, extra limbs, wings, clothing, and so on, so I don't tend to charge fees based on character design alone.
For full illustrations I will send at least one rough WIP so you can ask for any changes or additions before I start rendering. Feel free to even draw over the WIP if a change would be easier to convey visually. Once you've approved the sketch and I have refined and colored the piece I will not make any major changes such as redrawing the pose, but if you see something that needs to be corrected (for example, I miscolored something or left out a marking) I will gladly fix it for you at no additional cost.
I do accept private commissions and I do not charge a fee for them. If you're fine with me posting the piece publicly or don't specify I may or may not post it to any of my galleries, mention or tag you, or use it as an example when advertising my commissions. If you have any preferences regarding this let me know. If I have posted something that you would rather I remove get in touch and I will do so.
You may repost any artwork I create for you with credit, or keep me anonymous if you prefer. All I really ask is that you don't claim ownership of my work, copy and redistribute it for profit such as by selling my art on t-shirts, or trace it for your own paid work. If you purchase a character from me you're free to alter their design, use them in personal or commercial projects, or trade, gift, or resell them to someone else.
You must be 18 or older to commission me.
I only discuss commissions via email, if you PM me on social media I will not respond.
Don't just send me one-liners like "can I commission you?" or "can you draw this character?" with no elaboration. If you do this I will assume you haven't read any of this information and I'm unlikely to respond until you provide more info. I shouldn't need to interrogate you to figure out what you want, just tell me everything clearly up front!
Direct all inquiries to crushingcontact (at) gmail (dot) com.
Please provide the following information:
Commission Type (ex. 2 character fullbody illustration with cel shading)
Details (info about the character, describe the pose or environment, etc.)
References (attach any reference images or design inspiration if applicable)
Keep in mind that some services don't allow mature content to be viewed without logging in. Inkbunny and e621 are fine, but I can't view mature rated images on DeviantArt or Furaffinity since I don't have accounts there. The easiest way to send refs is to attach them directly to your email, but if necessary you can use something like Google Drive or Shota Now instead.
If you want something very specific try to be as thorough as possible with your description. You can show me examples of other works that are similar to what you're after, or send your own stick figure sketch to help me visualize the scene. For page spreads or reference sheets tell me the exact number and type of drawings you want on the page.
For custom character or species designs I will need a written description, moodboard, or other inspiration to work from, or I can design an alternative form (gijinka, monster form, etc.) for a character that already has an existing visual reference.
You can give me artistic freedom in cases where you don't have something specific in mind. I may ask for more information if something is unclear to me or I feel like I need more guidance.
Payment is required up front and in full via PayPal invoice before I start working. Once I have confirmed all of the details above with you I will quote you the price of the commission and ask for your PayPal email so I can send the invoice.
If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to ask.
Pay-what-you-want, artistic freedom, single character, monochrome pencil sketches.
You donate to my Ko-fi, send me a character ref, and I will draw them however I please with no discussion involved. Think of this as a way to support me while receiving something small in return. I can offer these sketches for so little money because there is no back-and-forth and I get to decide how to draw the character, which allows me to complete them very quickly in one sitting. If you want something more carefully considered made to your own specifications you can always commission me for a full illustration instead.
$5 is the minimum amount per character, with one solo character per sketch. You're welcome to donate more than the minimum, I would greatly appreciate it, just keep in mind that these are meant to be fast and loose so more money won't necessarily translate to more detail.
You must send me at least one reference image, don't just give me a name since I may not be familiar with the source material. Do not request someone else's OC unless you can provide proof that the recipient is aware and fine with it. You may request as many different characters as you want at one time; please do not ask for multiple sketches of the same character at once. You can return later with a character you have asked me to draw before, I just ask that you wait some time in between so there is some variety in what I'm drawing at any given time.
I will have full artistic freedom, so I choose the pose, style, and so on for these. If you ask for NSFW that does not mean you will receive a NSFW sketch. You may however tell me if there is anything you want to avoid, such as the character being depicted a certain way, just so I don't draw something you would be uncomfortable with.
How To Request:
1) Send me a donation on Ko-fi.
2) After donating, email your refs to crushingcontact (at) gmail (dot) com. Do not message me on Ko-fi itself, all communication will take place via email. If your name on Ko-fi is different from the account you're contacting me from please mention that when you send your refs so I know which donation is yours.
3) If your donation went through and you have sent your refs then I have received your request. I will reply to your email with the sketch once I've completed it.
For more examples see this Inkbunny pool.
Illustrations include inked pin-ups, scenes, refsheets, custom designs, and so on.
These prices apply per character for any type of illustration, including refsheets and custom designs. For scenes that are more complex than your standard pin-up, the price may be negotiated depending on how visible or involved the various characters are (such as disembodied hands or partially obscured "mob" characters). If you have a fixed budget I may be able to work within it, or we can negotiate for more experimental or freeform works.

Here are some platforms that I do and do not recommend based on how sane I think their content policies and site culture are. By sane I mean "doesn't treat fictional smut like the moral or functional equivalent of perpetrating real harm against a living being." If you ask me giving birth on this rock at all should be the first thing in question if we're debating "harmful creation," but I digress.
I have some firsthand experience with many of these services, but I do include some that I have never used before in an effort to make this a more comprehensive resource. These recommendations are made based solely on how welcoming the sites are to more "controversial" artwork, but of course they may still be useful in other ways.
I will quote terms of use or community guidelines if they seem relevant. Note that some of these sites use incorrect terminology (such as CSAM) or misleading phraseology ("content featuring minors") to refer to fictional characters and illustrations, so just keep in mind that these policies are referring to drawings and not real children, or are conflating drawings with real abuse material and grouping them under the same rule. In most cases they are referring to fictional loli/shota/cub artwork, which I will abbreviate as "LSC" going forward.
"Federated" is a term used to describe discrete servers, most often hosted by individuals, which use a shared protocol or bridge to communicate with each other. The Fediverse is a network of software based on open protocols such as ActivityPub.

⁇ Some caveats or uncertain
✖ Not recommended
Any service that is moving money is going to be subject to the whims of payment processors that don't want to deal with disputes over adult content. Always tread carefully when using these platforms to sell or accept donations for any kind of sexually explicit art.
Human loli and shota art is banned (supposedly because it's illegal in Texas, even though it's not as far as I know) but cub is permitted.
Artconomy is hosted in the state of Texas and is subject to the laws of it and the United States of America. Some examples of content which is illegal here and not covered in the above prohibitions include:
• Visual or written art which appears to depict minors (human or plausibly human characters such as elves, dwarves, merfolk, etc characters whose apparent age is younger than 18) with sexually explicit conduct, or depicted in situations of masochistic or sadistic abuse, even if these are not depictions of real persons.
Sexually explicit art is allowed and they don't seem to ban any themes outright, however considering their vibe that may just be an oversight on their part.
Does Artistree restrict content sold on the platform?
TLDR: if the content is drawn, you're probably fine!
~ FAQ
⁇ subscribestar.adult (18+)
Their terms are vague so it's hard to tell if their "obscene content" policy is referring only to real acts or also includes fictional artwork. I have seen people use this site for more extreme art without issues but I would err on the side of caution anyway.
OBSCENITY, ABUSE, HARM
1. Bestiality, rape, or incest
2. Filthy, or disgusting words or pictures
Sexually explicit art is allowed. They ban loli/shota and bestiality art, but cub is allowed.
1.4 Indecent or illegal content
2. Commishes servers are based in Germany, and abide by Germany law. This includes two major restrictions on content that we enforce:
▸ Questionable or explicit depictions of humans who appear under the age of 18 or are said to be under 18 are not allowed. This does not apply to non-humans. Species such as elves where they are primarily human-looking are considered to be human and this rule does apply to them.
3. While not outlawed explicitly by law, to be on the safe side we don't allow realistic depictions of humans or mainly human-like creatures such as elves being depicted having sex or forcing themselves sexually on a non-sapient non-fictional creature. Stylized pictures or ones not attempting to mimic a realistic style remain allowed.
Sexually explicit art is allowed but they ban most "extreme" themes.
5 Content; Promotions
5.4 Adult Content. You can post Creator Content containing nudity or posts on mature themes ("Adult Content") on the Boosty Platform as long as you and your Content comply with these terms, especially the Code of Conduct and mark your Blog as "Adult" in its setting in order to hide it from minors.
6 Code of Conduct

6.2.7 Adult Content. Content that creates or contains illustrated, animated or other depictions of bestiality, rape, and child exploitation (i.e., a sexualized depiction of minors), fringe sexual fetish creations, such as incest, necrophilia, or fetish creations that is hard to distinguish from non-consensual sex;

Sexually explicit art is allowed and they don't seem to ban any themes outright, however considering their vibe that may just be an oversight on their part. The site seems to have been abandoned by the creators and is now overrun with spam, so I would avoid it.
✖ etsy.com
We prohibit items which are not aligned with Etsy's brand and values, or which carry legal or other restrictions. Depictions of the sexualization of minors are prohibited. We also prohibit depictions of bestiality, incest, and non-consensual sex.
Pornography of any sort is prohibited on Etsy, whereas mature content is restricted. Although pornography can be difficult to define, an item generally qualifies as pornography when it contains printed or visual material that explicitly describes or displays sex acts, sex organs, or other erotic behavior for the purpose of sexual arousal or stimulation.
In accordance with the policies of our payment processing partners, including Stripe and PayPal, we do not allow sales of the sexually explicit content.
✖ itch.io
Is adult content allowed?
Fictional, illustrated, and rendered content is generally fine, assuming it's legal. Content glorifying sexual violence is not permitted. Depictions of minors, minor-presenting, or suggested minors in a sexual context are not allowed and will result in account suspension.
Strictly Prohibited Content or Uses of Ko-fi
Ko-fi pages and content must not be used in connection with any of the following:
• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including fictitious variants (e.g. loli/shota content, AI-generated content) and content that whatsoever sexualises children (...)
• Violent or excessively gory content or content that glorifies violence in any way.
Strictly Prohibited Adult Content
Ko-fi cannot be used as the venue for sexually explicit or adult-themed content or services. This includes, but is not limited to:
• Pornography, nudity, depictions of rape and other forms of sexual assault (e.g. non-consensual groping, upskirting), incest, bestiality and any other adult or obscene content of a similar nature including implied, suggested or censored across all content categories (e.g. illustrative, videos, literature, audio, etc.)
• Fetish and paraphilia content of any kind including "Findom" (financial domination) themes.
• Overly sexually suggestive content including imagery of non-nude people/animals/characters in provocative positions or scenarios.
Liberapay is hosted in the European Union where fictional artwork is criminalized. They also recommend not using the platform for sexually explicit content whatsoever.
Can creators of NSFW content use Liberapay?
The payment processors Liberapay supports have unfavourable policies towards sexual content. PayPal requires pre-approval, and Stripe prohibits it entirely. So, while it is possible to use Liberapay for some adult-only content, it is usually better to use a platform specialized in such content.
Offensive and graphic creations:
We understand that artists sometimes have to push boundaries to create thought-provoking art, so we don't review offensive and graphic creations with strict black and white guidelines. We instead review creations in the context of the whole creator page. However, we have zero tolerance when it comes to the glorification of sexual violence which includes bestiality, rape, and child exploitation (i.e., sexualized depiction of minors). This is true for illustrated, animated, or any other type of creations. Patreon reserves the right to review and remove accounts that may violate this guideline. We also do not allow other fringe sexual fetish creations, such as incest, necrophilia, or fetish creations that are hard to distinguish from non-consensual sex. We understand that some topics on this list such as incest or rape are a little bit more complicated because these situations are, unfortunately, part of real life. As a result, when reviewing these types of creations, the Trust and Safety team will take into consideration context including personal, historical or educational narrative. For example, survivor stories or fiction such as Lolita are allowed on Patreon.
✖ vgen.co
You may not transmit any Content that is unlawful, offensive, upsetting, intended to disgust, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene or otherwise objectionable. Examples of such objectionable Content include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Obscene, vulgar, tortious, pornographic, offensive, profane, contains or depicts nudity, contains or depicts sexual activity.
• Any depiction, discussion, or promotion of child sexuality, abuse, or exploitation.
• "Lolicon" style artworks, Commissions, or artistic products of that nature.
✖ ych.art
Cub & "Loli" artwork
For legal reasons, the site does not allow any suggestive, explicit, or shock artwork labeled as 'cub', 'young', or 'loli'. Implying as such in any similar words through the description, image, or title is not allowed and will result in the auction being removed. Admins will use better judgement based on the artist's past works to make a decision to allow a given auction.

Neocities and its affiliates hereby disclaim any responsibility for or control over such materials.
Free hosting for hobbyist and personal websites. The rules state that content should not violate the laws of the Netherlands and the United States, neither of which criminalize fictional artwork, so it may be a viable platform?
~ ???
These are both web and app hosting services that can deploy your website from a git repository. From what I can tell they don't ban any type of artwork outright, however if you plan on deploying from GitHub or GitLab keep in mind that the content of the repository would still have to abide by the AUP of those sites. It is possible to forego using an external repository altogether though since Netlify has an interface for manually uploading files and Vercel provides an alternative command-line interface to deploy from.
✖ carrd.co

Carrd generally does not permit pornographic content. However, adult-oriented artwork is permitted so long as a) the site to which the artwork is being posted belongs to its artist/creator (for example, as part of a portfolio), and b) the artwork does not depict activity considered to be illegal.
GitHub doesn't allow any kind of sexually explicit content, however I do still find it useful for hosting things like ZIP files that you otherwise can't host on Neocities without paying.

We're all aware that the corporate web is bloated with ads and trackers, padded with more pointless hero images than content, and manipulating users with deceptive design patterns. But it seems to me that even the "small web" struggles with people getting so deep in the weeds with aesthetics and manifestos that they lose sight of the "why" of websites.
Of course with every social media platform going up in flames it's becoming obvious that the entire web probably shouldn't be concentrated in the hands just of a few comically evil mega-corporations, but it's still a good idea to consider some use cases for a personal website before you decide to commit to one. Do you want to write more longform articles? Showcase your art? Host some useful resource you made? The most barebones web page can serve all of these things without so much as a touch of CSS!
Neocities is full of artistic eye candy and shiny GIF walls, but having the most beautiful set dressing isn't necessary if you have something you really want or need to share. Substance can precede style in this case. There's no shame in using a template, or even leaving the page mostly unstyled until you can figure out a direction to take it in. It's fine to start small and grow over time, or keep things as simple and easy to maintain as possible so you're more likely to stick with it.
I won't go full tutorial mode here since there are already hundreds of resources online that do that better than I ever could. Instead I'll just assume you already know the basics or even have your own site published already, and list out some things that I found helpful to know when I was still a complete noob.
Neocities' built in excuse for a code editor has a habit of refusing to save changes, and also lags horribly once you start working with larger files. Something like Notepad++ can get the job done, but I do recommend trying out VS Code (or VSCodium if you hate Microsoft) if you can. It may seem overly complex or intimidating at first glance, but it really isn't hard to learn and can save you so much headache in the long run.
VS Code Extensions
Always have a local copy of your code on hand. No service can be trusted not to lose all of your data in a freak accident or suddenly change their mind about what they're willing to host. Ideally you should do all editing locally first and then push your edits.
If you ever want to restructure your layout or make any other major changes to your site, copy everything to a backup folder first and rename the folder after the current date. That way you'll still have your old code on hand if you ever want to reuse it or reminisce on old layouts.
Indentiation and breaking long elements onto new lines helps tremendously with readability. VS Code will auto-format some things as you work so you don't have to worry about manually formatting everything. If you already have some spaghetti code that you want to clean up you can press Shift+Alt+F to format an entire document, or you can highlight specific sections to format.
You can open the command palette in VS Code by pressing F1 or Ctrl+Shift+P. If you search for "Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts" you can see a list of all shortcuts and change them. Some I find particularly useful are "Sort Lines Ascending" to sort lists alphabetically, "Delete Duplicate Lines" to remove duplicates from lists, Shift+Alt+Up/Down to copy a line up or down, and Ctrl+D to select the next occurance of any text you have selected.
Emmet is a feature of VS Code that lets you use short abbreviations to quickly type longer lines of code. For example, you can create a link by typing just the letter "a" and hitting enter. You can also access some Emmet functions via the command palette, such as "Emmet: Wrap with Abbreviation" to wrap selected text with a tag.
You can access the dev tools in Firefox by pressing F12, or Ctrl+Shift+C to inspect individual elements by hovering over them. This is really useful for troubleshooting issues with your layout, or for analyzing how other sites are structured. You can also test the responsiveness of a page by pressing Ctrl+Shift+M, or use the built in eyedropper by going to the application menu > More tools > Eyedropper.
Tables and floats were used to hack together layouts before there was any proper functionality for it built into CSS. Flexbox and grid now exist for the express purpose of making layouts, and they aren't hard to use. You can of course still use floats for their intended purpose of wrapping text around an image, and tables for... tables, though.
If you run into the issue of floated images breaking outside of their container, create a class such as .clear
in your CSS with the property clear:both;
and then add <div class="clear"></div>
after the last line inside of the container code.
This may seem obvious, but even in 2020 I was using <center>
to align text and <br><br>
to space paragraphs because I just didn't know any better. A lot of popular tutorials and templates used methods that are now deprecated, so beginners who follow them end up adopting bad practices without even realizing it.
Instead of <center>
you should be using text-align:center;
in your stylesheet or style attributes. If you need vertical padding between paragraphs, wrap them with <p>
tags and only use <br>
in cases where you need to break text onto a new line. If you want some text to be all caps for stylistic effect, use text-transform:uppercase;
rather than actually typing it out in all caps, since that can cause issues for screen readers or make styling harder later on down the line.
You can squeak by if you don't know the exact difference between ID, class, and type selectors, but considering they are the building blocks of CSS it helps to have at least some basic understanding of how they work. Specificity determines how your CSS is applied based on the type and order of your selectors, so if you're running into issues with uncooperative styling they may be the root cause.
Variables let you easily change the color or unit of several different elements at once.
Try to use more efficient formats like SVG or WebP instead of PNG or GIF for non-essential graphics. Even icon fonts can be substituted with SVGs. You can use Convertio or vectormaker to convert files to different formats, and compress or re-size files using services like Squoosh for images, SVGOMG for SVGs, or 8mbvideo for videos.
Images aren't responsive by default, but this is easily fixed by adding max-width:100%;
and height:auto;
to the img selector in your CSS.
You can also add the loading="lazy"
attribute to images to make them only load in when necessary (ie. when they actually appear on-screen) rather than all at once when the page is initially loaded. If you have lazy-loading images displayed inline with text or other elements you should set the height and width of each image individually as well, otherwise they will push the content of the page around (reflow) as they load in. You can quickly set the exact dimensions of an image in VS Code by placing your cursor inside of the image tag, pressing Ctrl+Shift+P and entering "Emmet: Update Image Size."
The scrollbar popping in and pushing the page around while navigating can be very visually annoying on some layouts. Adding scrollbar-gutter:stable;
to your container CSS is an easy fix for this. You could also use overflow-y:scroll;
instead, however this will make it so the scrollbar is always visible even on pages where it isn't needed.
If you have a lot of outbound links on your site you can use a service like Dead Link Checker or Dr. Link Check to see if any of them are broken. If you notice any sites that have completely disappeared you can try searching for snapshots of them on the Wayback Machine to replace the original links.
It's only natural that you won't know how to do everything. The most important thing is that you start somewhere. Use premade layouts, Google fonts, or free stock images. If you can think of something you want to accomplish a CodePen or StackOverflow answer with the solution is probably only a few searches away. Just remember to be courteous and try to credit people for their work if you do use premade templates or assets.

This is a collection of notes and concept art for a WIP project. This work contains artistic depictions of nudity, violence, sex, and otherwise disturbing themes, so proceed with caution.
Shamayim, the World of Light; Sheol, the World of Darkness; and Gehenna, the void between - these three realms comprise the Universe. Souls and the bodies they animate are composed of a dark matter native only to Sheol, while the Light is an inexplicable energy that radiates from Shamayim.
Sheol is ruled by a primordial being, the Prince of Darkness - Yaldabaoth, or Satan. He possesses a powerful soul capable of commanding all others, and he may reproduce other bodies in his own image - the gat (beast) or demons - to serve him. While Satan's body is seemingly immortal, demons have weak souls and thus finite lifespans. However, like Satan they have the ability to reproduce and replace themselves if left to their own devices.
Satan is ignorant of the existence of Shamayim until he one day notices a dim light shining beyond the veil of Sheol. He orders his closest confidant Michael to lead a party to investigate it. When they arrive and step across the boundary into this new world, they are granted incomprehensible visions and new strength as their souls absorb the Light. However, those who venture too far into the Light are altogether obliterated, body and soul. This shocks Satan; even he was unaware that souls could be completely destroyed. He is at once overcome by fear and an insatiable lust - his single greatest desire becomes to possess the Light for himself, despite knowing it would lead to his demise.
He orders the demons to return to Sheol, but when they try to pass back through the veil their bodies are shredded as the Light is ripped from their souls. Their souls survive however, so Satan orders them to pass through anyway to return their souls to him. Some obey while others become defiant, emboldened by their newfound power to oppose Satan. These rogue demons, led by Michael, return to the outskirts of Shamayim and erect an empire to rival that of Sheol. To set themselves apart they begin referring to themselves as bvael (of El) or angels, after the being of Light they imagine they now serve - El, or God.
This betrayal cannot be tolerated. Satan sends legions of demons to try and defeat them, but his forces are pushed back each time by the newly empowered Michael and his six lieutenants, the Archangels. This warring period results in hundreds of billions of casualties and defections. Small islands are formed from the remains that litter Gehenna, which over time amass into planets and stars. Satan comes to accept that defeating the angels is something only he can do, but he is paralyzed by his desire for the Light. He knows that he wouldn't be able to resist throwing himself to his own annihilation if he ever came face to face with it. To solve this he decides to split his soul into seven pieces, keeping one fragment for himself and placing the others into six newborns, the Archons, who he would raise to desire only the blood and destruction of the angels.
Once the Archons are prepared, Satan rallies his remaining forces with the last of his strength and sends them to the confront the angels. The Archons are ultimately defeated and captured, but rather than throwing them into the Light to be obliterated, the angels decide to take them hostage in hopes of luring Satan from Sheol. The Archons are flayed and the planet Erets is fashioned from their bodies and blood. Their souls are trapped in the core of the planet, while the remaining demons who refuse to defect to Shamayim are imprisoned on the surface.
In his weakened state Satan is unable to do any more to retaliate. He can hardly produce new demons, and refuses to send his remaining forces to the frontier for fear of their defection or imprisonment. All hope is not lost however. With enough time and patience the Archons will eventually break the seal placed on them and reincarnate into new bodies. Once these bodies perish Satan will be able to recall the fragments of his soul back to Sheol. The angels take advantage of this calm period to rebuild their forces, while the demons begin new lives on Erets and await the day of reckoning...
Erets is home to the supercontinent Pheon (crescent). All inhabitants of this world are demons, descendents of those who were first trapped on the planet. However, due to their prolonged confinement here, they have begun to speciate and are now split into two distinct categories - the shegat (great beast) or greater demons, and nean (half) or lesser demons.
Greater demons are able to shapeshift and self-heal to an extent, an ability known as yansifeue (regeneration). They can assume a wide variety of forms, but most individuals tend to have a few forms they use most often based on their environment, traditions, preferences, or skill at transforming. Serious injury or illness can temporarily limit a greater demon's regenerative abilities, and these abilities tend to naturally diminish with age, so elderly demons are more susceptible to illnesses or even lose the ability to transform altogether. Some greater demons are also born with genetic mutations which lead them or their children to be incapable of regenerating. The average greater demon lifespan is about 300 years.
Since greater demons can change their sex organs at will, every individual is capable of both siring and birthing offspring. Breeding pairs must ensure that their gametes are compatible before they can reproduce. Dams are unable to transform while pregnant without risking harm to themselves and the baby. All newborns are unable to transform and gain the ability as they age. The birth form of the baby will reflect the parents' genetics at conception, so newborn greater demons may or may not be defenseless, and learn how to shapeshift at different rates depending on their birth form.
Pheon is divided into three territories by the daurkeit (family) or colonies of greater demons. Any territory not claimed by a colony is referred to as nyiwapheon (wild land) and may be inhabited by solitary greater demons or lesser demons. Greater demons primarily use their shapeshifting ability to travel, gather food, or defend themselves, but some colonies also utilize clothing, hand-operated machines such as looms, pottery, smithing, weapons, and so on.
Als (refuge) is located on the western half of the continent. The colony resides in the Altian Palace, an enclave that was carved from the volcanic basalt of Chipal (steps) by the first demons who were trapped on Erets. The Palace is an ornate stone-cut structure covered in statues and reliefs depicting Satan and the battles that took place between the demons and angels, and is also home to a large library of ancient texts. Although Als is still inhabited, the population is often in flux as members come and go, breaking away to establish new colonies or live on their own.
The kautior (clear wing) are not a single colony, but rather several groups of greater demons which inhabit the vast cave systems beneath the Chipal traps. They have a complex social hierarchy dictated by the lujsaein (judge), who suppresses the ability of the other members of the colony to transform or reproduce. The lujsaein keeps a small entourage of reproductive sires known as guoyal (watcher), and a larger group of non-reproductive servants, the yeolbvash (keeper), who tend to the colony and offspring. The yeolbvash feed primarily on the blood of samas and process this blood in a special gut to bring back to the other members of the colony. Kautior are rarely encountered on the surface alive because their bodies are very sensitive to sunlight, and even a few minutes of direct sun exposure can cause serious damage to their skin. Kautior who do manage to survive and live on the surface are known as shayita (exiled).
The Eanez (chosen) are a small nomadic colony who live on the eastern half of the continent in the foothills of Liponz (bowl). They do not have a permanent settlement and instead migrate around to follow food sources. The colony established by demons who split away from Als after questioning their loyalty to Satan and proclaiming to serve God instead, although it is unknown whether their defection is recognized by the angels. They tend to have strained relationships with the other colonies over differences in belief, but they have a policy of neutrality towards followers of Satan and prefer to try peaceful conversion rather than force. They are also unique in that they adhere to a practice known as keipuohis (shapelessness) or non-transformation, in which they choose to forgo shapeshifting and use a single form reminiscent of a dog or wolf for their entire lives. This even extends to healing, as members are instructed not to heal their own wounds or illnesses unless a designated healer is present. The leader of the colony, known as the okyina (speaker) or oracle, takes a unique form, but is still expected to practice keipuohis. The oracle is believed to receive visions and prophecies directly from God.
The Ecrutecra (shining) are small, semi-nomadic colony. Rather than hunting they instead raise herds of quicorico to meet their needs. Each year during the wet season they graze their herds on the far southern tip of the continent in the savanna grasslands of Miroa (plains), and migrate north to settle in Dokai (drain) during the dry season. The Ecrutecra split from Als relatively recently, but the two colonies are on friendly terms and frequently exchange members and favors. Their relationship with the Eanez is more strained however, as they frequently butt heads over access to rivers and consider their evangelizing to be a nuisance.
Any demon that is incapable of shapeshifting and instead evolves and speciates slowly over generations is considered a lesser demon. Genetic mutations led to the proliferation of lesser demons, as greater demons who were born without the ability to transform managed to survive and adapt to their environment. Greater demons are able to interbreed with lesser demons if their gametes match, although due to this matching these pairings always result in lesser demon offspring. There are a handful of "subspecies" that are considered distinct and prolific enough to be named:
Anjiip (scurrying) are very small, rodent-like creatures.
Bvekhal (to obliterate) are mid-sized, white, feathered creatures. They form large flocks, nesting together in and around caves in Chipal. Their primary food source is carrion, but they may also attack weak, dying, or vulnerable young demons as well. They are named for their ability to quickly descend on a carcass and reduce it to bones in a matter of seconds.
Corico (horn) are large, solitary beasts that live in forested areas. They are omnivorous frugivores and primarily eat plants, nuts, and fruits, but they will eat meat when they can and have been known to pose a threat to young greater demons. Their smaller, domesticated counterparts are the quicorico (small horn), which are typically raised by greater demons for their wool, meat, and other resources.
Jioageuro (flying man) are bipedal, winged humanoids. Females live together in flocks on the steep cliffs of Melekia (volcano). They tend to be more muscular than males and have darker flesh, long furred tails, and horns. Males live together in flocks in Bvuhejseno (flooded forest), the rainforest surrounding Melekia. They tend to be smaller than females, have no fur or horns, are almost always solid white with black markings. Jioageuro have a unique breeding season that involves the females migrating to the forest to live and breed with the males for a few months of the year. Both males and females have penises, although they serve different functions. The female's penis releases the egg into the male jioageuro's pouch, or modified penis, where it is fertilized and incubated until he gives birth.
Mag chebves (life thief) are small aquatic parasites. Their larval form is microscopic and worm-like, while their transitional forms are more fish-like. Adults are palm-sized and resemble aquatic bats. They reproduce in underground lakes and pools, and their larvae will infect anything that happens to drink the infested water, most commonly kautior and samas. Their host is slowly drained of nutrients as the larvae grow, and once fully mature the parasite drives the host to drown itself in any body of water where they can safely escape and reproduce.
Nun (tower) are massive dragons with many pairs of limbs which they use to scale cliffs in Melekia.
Ro (leaping) are aquatic creatures which resemble fish-like cats.
Samas (to forage) are large dragons, about twice the size of a bear. They are flightless, herbivorous, and known for their gentle, unbothered disposition. They overnight in caves and are the primary food source of kautior, who drink small amounts of their blood while they sleep. This causes them little distress as kautior saliva has numbing properties, and the kautior do not try to kill or otherwise harm them.
Woedam (mottled) are bipedal humanoids with a large fish-like tail and four arms. They live in freshwater ecosystems such as rivers and swamps, but can breathe oxygen and survive on land for short periods as well. They are notorious for attacking unsuspecting demons at riversides.

There was some kind of magic system when I first created the setting, but I struggled to make it coherent, so I eventually decided to cut anything that felt too much like a magical ability (think breathing fire, casting spells, etc.) There are a few things left that could be construed as magical such as the shapeshifting, but you can at least imagine a way that is just a physical process rather than supernatural. The only character I give more magical abilities to now is Satan since he is more of a god-like figure.
I don't have any concrete explanation, just theories about how it could work on a physical, genetic, or developmental level. For example, you might expect a shapeshifting character to retain developmental consistency between forms, ie. if the character is very young then whatever they're transforming into should be of an equivalent age for the species. This raises even more questions though since there's no real consistency between different species, such as how a newborn foal is able to walk within an hour vs a human baby taking much longer to reach that milestone. These developmental milestones could even apply to the shapeshifting ability itself, assuming it's something that takes time to develop and varies across species as well, so perhaps a demon born in the shape of a foal would be able to start shapeshifting faster than one born in the shape of a human.
There is also the question of how a shapeshifting character is able to perfectly recreate the form another person or animal seemingly just by looking at them. In this setting there is only one distinct species though, so considering they all share the same genome whatever process is going on at the DNA level has to be the same for all of them.
There is no fixed gender or sex distinction, although I do use a mix of gendered pronouns and terms like sister to refer to the characters, mostly out of convenience. Sire and dam are somewhat analogous to the terms father and mother, but these are less gendered and more just descriptive of that character's relation to another. Consider it like translating one language that doesn't have or often use gendered pronouns into a language that can't function without them.
I always drew them that way before I ever had a solid plan for the species, so it's basically just a holdover from that. From a meta perspective I think it is a nice additional way to distinguish them from fully grown demons, along with clothing and accessories. It is interesting to think about, given the option to create any form for themselves, what a child might come up with as opposed to an adult. If I had to justify this design decision in canon, I would say their parents probably just make them use some sort of socially dictated form as a kind of blank slate until they're more physically capable of determining their appearance for themselves.
Angels are fundamentally the same species as greater demons. The only notable difference is that the Light prevents them from aging, but it does not make them completely invulnerable.
Michael's ultimate goal is to destroy Satan by having his soul obliterated by the Light, but the angels have no way of reaching Satan due to the Light in their souls preventing them from passing through the veil to Sheol. Satan would likely never leave Sheol if they had simply destroyed those parts of his soul with the Light, since then he would certainly be too weak to defeat them. By sealing the Archons away instead, Satan would retain some hope of recovering the fragments, and thus may be tempted to leave Sheol to try and do so. As for why the demons were spared, perhaps the angels simply saw no reason to kill them since they would be powerless to leave Erets anyway. They may have considered the development of a colony like the Eanez that could become an asset to them, since they did try to thwart Cheizou's mission.
The origins of Satan are unknown even to himself. The demons speculate that he was the first soul powerful enough to manifest a physical body, and the first body capable of reproducing new bodies to be animated by souls. Followers of Satan posit that he is the only creative force in the Universe, while God is thought to either be purely fabricated by the angels, or if He does exist He has no creative desire or ability and is instead a purely destructive force. The demons know nothing about what visions or knowledge the angels were granted by the Light, but those on Erets who proclaim to serve God such as the Eanez do believe that He created the Universe and everything within it, including Satan. The demons on Erets have incomplete knowledge of past events because they've been cut off from the outside for thousands of generations, and much of their early history was passed down orally before a writing system was developed. Most demons still swear fealty to Satan, but depending on their culture they may interpret events differently, have heretical beliefs, or no firm beliefs at all.
For a really meta explanation, imagine their universe operates on the exact same principle as our own. Everything exists in service of entropy, organizing and reorganizing energy and maximizing the number of potential states in the system. Satan is a being that can maintain his form indefinitely if there is no outside force that can degrade it, and he produces lifeforms that are highly efficient at diffusing energy. The Light, or God, performs the same basic role of diffusion, but does so in a way that looks destructive by comparison, by shredding bodies and "souls" into highly disorganized states that cannot be pieced back together. "Souls" in this case I imagine are like intangible memories or some type of advanced cognition that can be controlled by Satan, since he determines the forms of his direct offspring. Or alternatively, every living being he creates is an extension of himself, and any memories they accrue become his own as long as he can recall the energy to his body. This is how Cheizou is able to be "reborn" when Satan produces a new body identical to his old one and re-implants the memories he had before. The temptation of the Light is thus the temptation of the very concentrated energy that comprises Satan's body and soul to become disorganized again, as if it were fulfilling it's molecular destiny.
If you consider the Christian ideal of a life of unwavering subservience to a higher being for all eternity, that's essentially what the demons see as their purpose. Satan is their true god, since he did in fact create them. The angel's position may seems like the more rational one from our perspective, since they're rejecting his authority and seeking truth and freedom elsewhere, but their situation isn't entirely comparable to our own. Satan is an actual material being and his offspring can relate to him as such, whereas God is something unknowable to them that they can only fantasize about.
The purpose of having Cheizou kill the Archons is twofold - to expedite the process of releasing their souls, and to prepare him as a substitute consciousness and vessel for Satan to use in the final battle against the angels. Satan needs Cheizou to remain attached to his own identity because the vessel should be more concerned with it's own survival and desires over anything else, to suppress Satan's overpowering desire for self-annihilation. He determines that Cheizou could be the perfect vessel as he is still strongly attached to his caretakers and had yet to develop any idolization of Satan. Satan's true intentions are only revealed in the presence of Cheizou's family because they are ultimately the ones who wish to save him, and Cheizou would trust them to make that decision for him even if he himself didn't care at all about Satan's fate.
Horihone Saizō (掘骨砕三) is a Japanese adult manga artist. His most well-known work is Drainage City (下水街, Gesuigai), a compilation of stories about the sexual exploits of various inhabitants of a sewer.
He was born on April 9, 1973 in Hiroshima Prefecture.[1] He is a member of the dōjinshi circle Japan Space Travel Association (日本宇宙旅行協会) and made his debut in 1995. His aliases include Horihone Saizou (ほりほねさいぞう), Oze Akiba (小瀬秋葉), and Natakawa Kō (鉈川紘). The name Horihone Saizō is said to originate from his former pseudonym "Crash Master Drill Bone" (クラッシュマスタードリルボーン).[2]
His work is most often characterized by cute yet deformed characters engaging in extreme sex acts. Common themes include loli and shotacon, incest, crossdressing, hermaphroditism, scat and urine, insects, parasites, drugging, body modification, transformation, deformities, bestiality and other interspecies relationships, breeding, pregnancy and birth, necrophilia, rape, and gore.
In addition to readers with particular fetishes, he is also an author favored by subcultures for his unique designs, art style, settings, and storytelling. There is little sense of brutality, hatred, or tragedy present in his work despite the extreme nature of it. Many of his stories conclude on a comedic or melancholic note, or take unexpected turns. His illustrations make extensive use of kakeami (cross-hatching) and are detailed, rustic, and warm, fitting well with the worldview of the story.[3]

Stray Kids is a South Korean boy band composed of eight members: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, HAN, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. They officially debuted on March 25, 2018.
They're known for being a uniquely self-producing group in an industry where most idols are given little to no control over their own music or branding. As trainees they participated in an eponymous survival show in which the leader Bang Chan chose the members he wanted and had to pass various trials with them in order to debut. Prior to appearing on the show, Bang Chan (CB97), Changbin (SPEARB), and HAN (J.ONE) produced music together under the name 3RACHA and promoted their work on their own SoundCloud and YouTube accounts, as well as the site HIPHOPLE. As a unit within Stray Kids, 3RACHA now write, arrange, and record the bulk of the group's discography with input from the other members and a few regular co-contributors.

In so many words: Stray Kids are the boy band that cursed my dick.
I've been aware of K-pop since at least 2013 when I would listen to whatever Shinee or EXO tracks happened to be floating around on Tumblr. I have always loved music and am historically predisposed to celebrity fanaticism (I was a devout Dear and utaite fan as a teen in the late aughts and early 2010s) but for whatever reason I never thought to dig any deeper into the fandom aspect of K-pop at that time.
Flash forward to 2021, K-pop has conquered Twitter and suddenly there's enough BTS on my timeline to make me curious, so I decided to watch a few videos just to see what all the fuss was about. I did enjoy the music, but the choreography is what really hooked me since I have always found dance fascinating as an art form, and it's just plain fun to watch. I binged their back catalog for a few weeks and eventually started checking out performances from other groups. I like to say my flirting with BTS ended and my life as a hardcore STAY began after watching the Back Door MV for the first time.
All jokes aside, I'm still fond of BTS and give them all the credit for leading me down this rabbit hole. I'm familiar with at least a handful of other groups and I can appreciate a good song or performance from anyone. I just don't consider myself a multi or a "K-pop fan" broadly speaking since my investment in SKZ is astronomically higher than anything else at the moment.

I do find him cute of course, but I also like his mindset. He's confident, observant, and really values human relationships. People often describe him as a comforting and reliable presence, and he has essentially become like a "comfort character" to me.
I tend to project onto him more than anything. Self-inserting is completely out of the question for me, even though it may not be obvious from the way I talk about him. Only I can wrap my head around my true feelings in this case. If I had to describe it, I would say it's more like a voyeuristic, lithrosexual psychosis than attraction. But still, it is a kind of love...

I don't have much sewing experience but I tried my best to make him some outfits. The overalls were the most successful so far.

One interesting thing I have noticed about K-pop fans is that they seem to approach pairing off members and shipping in a few different ways. Someone can talk about what appears to be no different from a ship without almost any of the usual implications of shipping.
Two or more members together are considered a "unit" and will have their own dedicated unit name. For example, HAN and Felix together are referred to as Jilix (Jisung + Felix) by English-speaking fans. Korean fans on the other hand tend to create "chemi names" for units based on some kind of inside joke or reference. You may see some Korean STAYs call them 지릭스 (jilix), but you're probably more likely to see them use 람냥즈 (ramnyangjeu) "Ramnyangz" instead, which is a combination of 다람쥐 (daramji) "squirrel" and 냥 (nyang) "meow." Some of these chemi names are widely known and used by the English-speaking fandom as well, but more often than not we simply default to a straightforward portmanteau of the member's names.
The Korean fandom also has dedicated ship names in addition to chemi names however. These often have referential elements as well, such as HAN being called 쳌 (chek) due to the plaid shirts he likes to wear. Name order indicates the position or role the member takes in the ship, so for example 쳌필 (chekpil) is top HAN x bottom Felix, while 필쳌 (pilchek) is top Felix x bottom HAN. I've also seen people use just two letter abbreviations as ship names, such as "HF" for top Hyunjin x bottom Felix, or "YH" for top I.N x bottom Hyunjin. Shippers will append 왼 (oen) from 왼쪽 (oenjjog) "left" or 른 (leun) from 오른쪽 (oleunjjog) "right" to names to refer to their preferred position in a more general context, such as 쳌왼 (chek-oen) for top HAN or 필른 (pil-leun) for bottom Felix. The Korean equivalent term for 攻め (seme) is 공 (gong) while 受け (uke) is 수 (su).
Unlike the chemi names, most English-speaking shippers probably don't even know what the Korean ship names are, let alone use them. Instead they just use the same common portmanteau of the member's names as the ship name. To make matters more confusing, people sometimes use chemi names in shippy contexts as well, or will use the term "ship" to refer to pairs they don't actually ship in the traditional sense; rather a "ship" is just two members they like to see together with no fujo undertones whatsoever. So whether or not someone is referring to Jilix as something they actually ship or simply HAN and Felix together as a unit depends entirely on the person and context.
This is how you end up with say, someone who loves "Minsung" making a confused statement like "Do people ship Minsung for real!?" after seeing some romantically and/or sexually charged fanart cross their timeline. They seem to consider shipping to be an entirely different beast from whatever it is they're doing, even if it looks suspiciously similar from an outside perspective. Of course, your average RPF shipper most likely doesn't believe that their ships are "real" either. Fiction is right there in the name after all.
Below are some of the names I've been able to gather for each pairing. Many of the Japanese chemi names are just the Korean name written in kana, but there are some Japanese-specific names too. Of course other languages will have their own spellings and likely their own unique names as well, these are just the only languages I know enough of to reliably confirm what they are.
