Meet The Webmaster

Greetings! Here's where you can learn all you need to know about my dear little website.

Who are you?

I’m Shanoa Amalthea Moone (but you can just call me Noa), a silly lesbian who's a web-artist by day and a werewolf by nightfall, with a fondness for cyber-witchery. I use it/its pronouns. My interests include horror, goth music, the Castlevania game series, subculture, animals, film history, retro games, outsider art, the mysteries of life, and of course, web stuff.

What do you do here?

A little of everything! This site is where I create web art and fan pages, post to my blog, tend to virtual pets and plants, upload writing, essays and art, create games, and more! Basically, if I have it in my mind to do it, it’ll probably go on my site. It’s my main hub for expressing myself online.

What are your goals with this site?

The closest thing I’ve had to a "site manifesto" is that I want to make a site I would have enjoyed browsing when I was a kid. I like doing fun, interesting and playful things with this creative medium, and experimenting with new things. But I also think of it like building a "house". My site is a place I am comfortable "living in" online.

Where should I start exploring your website?

Well, my shrine pages are my most high effort projects, so if you want to explore what I’m most proud of, start there. In particular, I recommend checking out “Clovenglade: Ephemeral Paradise of the Horse Girl”, which is my most ambitious and interactive project and includes a little point and click game, a virtual stable where you can pick out and care for a horse, and secrets to explore. I’ve also got other mini-games and such on my “Arcade” page, and I’m also quite fond of my Picture Palace, a virtual movie theatre, and my Menagerie, where I care for all my cyber-pets and adoptables and even have a little digital garden.

Other than that, just go where your heart takes you!

How old should I be to view your website?

My website is open to all ages. There will never be any explicit/pornographic depictions of sex or realistic/detailed gore.

To elbaorate: Most of my site generally floats around the “G” to “PG-13” range, but if my content ever features more adult content like nudity, discussions of abuse or upsetting themes, blood, gore, death, sexuality, etc. I try to include adequate warnings. This mostly applies to my Library pages, as I like to write horror and horror-adjacent content, and my Picture Palace page which has content warnings for each movie. The purpose of these warnings is so that you can use your own discretion.

The majority of my site is perfectly suitable for most audiences, though. If there's no warning attached to something then it is probably fine for just about anyone to see.

Can I use your graphics/code/etc?

Go right ahead! I believe strongly in the "sharing culture" of the indie web and I hate copyright. I mean, my site is loaded up with repurposed old gifs and most are uncredited so it would be kind of stones and glass houses for me to get really protective over my "online property". Just as long as you're using it for something interesting and aren't hotlinking I really don't care. A link back to my site is courteous but not required in most cases. And I greatly encourage "code-stealing", as it's a great way to learn.

I am firmly against hotlinking though, as if you don't host it yourself, that means if my site ever goes down, so does the thing you've hotlinked. And that would be bad! I want my work to live on. So do the right thing and save the image yourself if you want to use it.

What does "Wygol Village" mean?

Wygol Village is the name of the main hub area/town in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, which is my favorite video game.

Is all that stuff about being a werewolf or whatever real?

Yes. I mean, what are you going to do, not believe me?

Do you have a site button?

I've got one right here. Feel free to add it to your button walls or whatever as long as you link back to my site.
