Welcome to my Litter Box!

Hi, my name is Valerian/Lera/Val. I'm not sure what to put here.

No, I'm not named after anyone or anything, except possibly the plant. (And I am not that language from that TV show!) If smellovision existed, I might give this page the rotting-blood stench of valerian root. Or maybe the sharp anise-and-alcohol smell of absinthe...

(Update, 9/22/25: I used to have a dark mode option for this page, but I've shifted to using dark mode by default. If you want my legacy light mode for this page, click here. Click here to go back to dark mode.)

I use this "last modified" code a lot. Keep in mind that it's formatted MM/DD/YYYY. I think.

Update, April 7th, 2025: I now have a button of my very own! If for some reason you want to link to my site, you can use this image to do it with:

Subpages:

• Buttons, blinkies, etc. (as well as links to find more)
• Resources on linguistics, wordplay, and other miscellaneous things
• (NEW!) Writings (the writings page that I've been threatening to put up for years!)
• Ithkuil explanations (very much under construction)
• Prolangs comic edits

Coming... Soon?:

• Showing off my first conlang???

A few of my favorite things:

• Linguistics
• Phonology
• Morphology
• The Russian language (no, I'm not fluent in it)
• Pre-1918 Russian orthography
• Just the letter ѣ
• Slavic languages more broadly
• Conlangs
• Ithkuil (v3, the 2011 one)
• Interslavic
• Toki Pona (I guess)
• Original characters
• RP
• Puzzles
• Cryptic crosswords
• Various brain teasers

• Writing
• "Fanfic" (usually of media with very sparse canons that have to be filled in)
• Music??
• Conlanging????

• Cats
• Seals
• Isopods

This is a link to the Neocities HTML/CSS tutorials; I'll probably need them.
