Dear community,

Special Fish needs your support now.

For the entire month of February, I'm asking the community to help keep Special Fish running. I run this site entirely on my own as a working artist, living off my work.

Special Fish depends on users like you for hosting, maintenance, and keeping the site running. Every user costs the site money. If you use Special Fish regularly or just don't want to see it go away, please consider supporting it. A yearly contribution of $40 is suggested (that comes out to $3.33 per month). Supporters pay for users who don't have the means to support the site.

hi, i write code, and i care [about you,] [about the world,] [about it all,] deeply. aug 18th, 2025 @ 04:00 - "a field of flowers" - i think if you were to cut and tear me open to look inside, you would find a field of flowers hidden from the world, the wind humming with the soft melodies i sing to myself to keep my heart from growing cold. in that field lay a girlish figure, a soft cry let out when you rest your head on her shoulder. there is lake is nearby, filled by the salty tears shed for her Love, and her Sorrow. at the bottom of this lake is a safe burrowed beneath the sand, it seals a book full of words i should have said, "I love you!", "I hate you.", "I'm sorry...". flying all around are the sweetest of birds, they are who i love and who i hold dear to me. impossibly tall trees can be seen in the distance, each grown from the seeds of every passion ive ever had, most seem rotted, but few still flourish. accompanying this landscape burns the brightest of suns, it is the light in my spirit that never goes out, it knows tomorrow is a chance to try again, it knows time heals all wounds, it cares for the land like a mother cares for her child. it is me, i am it.
