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...

(I added a dark mode option, at least for this page. Click here for dark mode, and here for the original site theme.)

A part of a TikTok screenshot that reads, I like cats and I think I am a cat stuck in a girl body, with an emoticon with a less than sign for a mouth, and a cat emoji.

This page (index.html, not my whole Neocities site in general) was last modified:

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)
(NEW!) Resources on linguistics, wordplay, and other miscellaneous things
(NEW!) Ithkuil explanations (very much under construction)
Prolangs comic edits

Coming... Soon?:

Writings?
Showing off my first conlang???

Former Subpages (removed):

Russian-language page
Cryptic crosswords (they're bad)

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)

Original characters

I occasionally dabble in:

Writing

"Fanfic" (usually of media with very sparse canons that have to be filled in)

Music??
Conlanging????

My favorite animals:

Cats
Seals
Isopods

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