Welcome to the Sanguine Sanctum,
my personal home on the web! My name is Rozario (Roz)
and I'll be your host! I created this site so I
had a place to freely expess myself without
having to worry about the host randomly caving to
advertiser pressure and censoring my existence as
a queer, trans person.
Growing
up in the late 90s and early 00s, I was one of
the many people who had a ridiculous gif-filled
personal webpage which talked about all of my
interests and the things I liked, and about
myself, the vaguest terms possible. I think the
first one was coded by my mother in like, 1999 or
2000.
By 2002, I was making my own pages, a lot of them
were Sailor Moon fanpages, most of which I'd
never host anywhere but I can still vividly
remember sitting on my personal computer (a gift
from a friend of my dad's, a Windows95 that had
been his computer previously) with notepad open
and my copy of the Visual Quickstart Guide to
HTML5 open on my desk beside me -- coding out my
little websites line by line...
Or building them using Microsoft FrontPage
Express (which I still use to this day, thanks to
the InternetArchive)... I'd sit in front of my
ancient CRT monitor that I'd covered with
stickers and spend hours and hours experimenting
with things and making (objectively) terrible
websites.
When I wasn't doing that, I remember browsing
personal sites hosted on Geocities and Angelfire,
Tripod and Freeservers -- discovering VtM in my
early teens and browsing fandom webrings, reading
weird fanfiction and wild fan theories... And all
of them were on pages that were unique and
different, for the most part.
Even in the early days of social media (other
than facebook) we could customize our pages --
once upon a time, Twitter had custom page colors
and backgrounds!
Now, everything (tumblr aside, bless its weird
little heart), looks...mostly the same, largely
due to trying to cater to the mobile market.
Everyone is shoved into a little box with a name
and an avatar where we blend into the endless
stream of other names and avatars. Our words are
the same neutral colored sans serif on a neutral
colored background on every social media platform.
Individuals blur together into an endless mob of
anonymous faces and neutral colored sans serif
font.
Which I hate. It feels like every social media
site is chasing the same anonymous community vibe
as fucking 4Chan.
I'm not going to just leave social media, because
as an artist, you've kinda gotta stick to it to
advertise and shit these days... But I'm going to
have my own space where I'm more than just black/white
sans serif font on a white/black background.
