i cant believe connie is a filthy homestuck

EXCUSE YOU

fucking digimon fandom from left field holy shit

u guys realize the sun is a thing right it’s been out for awhile now

This is the first Steven Universe post I’ve seen on my dash in quite a while.  They’re still making that show, right?

I misread that, and for a moment I thought you were reviewing Digimon moms.

everyone say the most Web 1.0 thing they ever did i’ll start

one time i downloaded a MIDI of the Friends theme song off of someone’s Angelfire page

I tried to illegally download an MP3 of Simple and Clean but my mom picked up the phone and disconnected our internet.

I made an anime fansite on one of my pet’s pages on neopets.com and every single asset and art on it was direct linked/stolen from other websites because i didnt know how to upload images to the internet myself

I owned and used a .zip drive

I made an anime fan page on Angelfire that just had a bunch of gifs I found for things I liked INCLUDING those ancient ass gifs of a) Pikachu running, b) Pikachu balancing on a Pokeball, c) odd dancing Raichu, and a bunch of Rurouni Kenshin screenshots.

The background was set to black, but had that falling cherry blossoms gif over it.

The font was gold colored and it was COMIC SANS.

i made a fanfiction shrine that was up for two days before getting taken over by middle eastern hackers

the first time i ever used internet explorer i used it to go to the nintendo power website in order to get the toll free number to call nintendo and ask them how to get the raiden magicite in ff3. (otherwise known as ff6)

I downloaded MP3s from AOL chatroom mp3 bots. Also cgshrines was my original danbooru. (IT’S STILL AROUND, AMAZINGLY)

I used to watch a music video of one of my fave low-key boy bands (No Authority, what up?) on their interactive CD in the Mac Lab after school.

I once made a Kingdom Hearts AMV set to Good Charlotte’s “Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous” on Windows Movie Maker and uploaded it to Kazaa.

I had a Gorillaz fanpage that had a built in chat feature that I used to talk to my friends while in computer class because other messaging clients were disabled.  I was found out pretty quickly.

I actually printed out the neopets permission form for my parents to sign and then physically mailed it to them bc scanning and emailing it was beyond the realm of my ability

 I’m 99% positive that I was literally the first person ever on the internet to put screenshots of “Invader Zim” on a webpage.

I screencapped this during the first airing of the first episode and put it on my geocities homepage with a few dozen others before the episode had even ended.

That is its original size.

Streaming video wasn’t really an accessible thing but I was able to do this because I made my parents buy me an expensive device called a “TV card,” which allowed you to screw your cable television cord into your computer to watch live tv on your PC. The sound didn’t work, so I had to turn a real TV on in another room with the volume blaring if I still wanted to watch these television premieres while I ripped my exclusive cutting edge image galleries.

I also had a digimon page and was very proud of some of the moments I managed to screencap. There wasn’t any record feature so you had to be QUICK!

The year was 1997 and I was trying to catalog all the Dalek variants on Doctor Who.  I discovered the Dalek Extermination Page was doing the same, and putting up ray-traced images to go with each one.  I typed up some of my obsessive notes and e-mailed them to the webmaster, who added the variants he’d overlooked and thanked me in the update log.  I was absolutely thrilled to see my name on a website.  It was like being mentioned in a newspaper or magazine article.
