Welcome to the home of Toby Elluin (scenemime)! ...[me on my laptop coding---->]...
It's a place for me to share my thoughts, feelings, and the things I love. I've been inspired by many other sites to ditch social media and make a website of my own. Decentralisation of the web and being able to own things is very important to me.
This website has been coded by a beginner using Brackets and Firefox, meaning it's not mobile friendly and the code is suboptimal! The aspect ratio also is for the specific specs of my laptop (whoops). Feel free to poke around...
I made this site in April of 2024 but didn't begin committing myself to it until mid-August. I don't update it every day but am constantly working to improve it and build community!
CONTACT ME: Sign my Guestbook or email me at scenemime@outlook.com. You can also find me on Tumblr @scenemime. My discord is the same user name!
THINKING: The more I see minimalist and vertically layed out sites, I really wanna lean that way but I have so many things on my to do list before I spend 20hrs remaking the whole site. Also I should learn JS!
TO DOs:
1. add stickers to the home page
2. update the look of the media / personal blog
3. make the sitemap
4. add links to all buttons (and stamps?!) on this page
5. shrines?! (lots of creative effort needed)
6. revisit the diary
7. 2024 favourites blog post and better blog management?

07/SEP/24: This morning we're all online! I had to fix some code and add some images I forgot but I'm mostly happy with it and so can start redesigning my blogs.
06/SEP/24: I've had to ditch the button section on this main page 'cause I've spent all day (10am-9pm) coding this new index. Don't get me wrong it's been great practice and I love how the site looks (it truely feels like my own) but holy hell,, I am knackered. // I've had the code in neocities for 30 mins and it still hasn't updated T.T

About Me
I'm Toby, a 20yr old who is based in the North West of England but studies BA History and Politics in the North East. I'm autistic and trans, I love clowns and D&D and my noise cancelling headphones and EGL and dying my hair and writing things down and greyhounds,,
My username comes from this Tumblr post I saw when I was 13ish (before this I used cosmo as my online name). The bit before says something about mimes being emo clowns, then the term Scene Mimes is used and as a teen into scenecore and being chronically online I had to have it.
I first started taking making my own website seriously after I saw Andou's site then I joined neocities thanks to Mani's yt tutorial! Coding is incredibly time consuming and as a newbie this website is not as detailed as I would like but I'm commited to updating it regularly as I have a passion for the old web and reducing my social media usage. Decentralising the web is important to me. Take me back to 2009...
