I feel sad and a little overwhelmed. There are too many possibilities in life, and in some ways I am overthinking it. I do think that I will be able to survive my current predicaments, and I might just need a good rest and a break.

The blog is born! Enter the gap under the dresser 📌
April 6, 2025
Hello world! Welcome to WANTENHAVEN, my little nest in the sprawling world of the internet. I am well, WANTEN, and I made this blog to carve out a space for myself and get out of some nasty habits on social media around comparing progress with other people so I can pursue my interests in peace. My interests includes anything from game development and gaming, art, project management, and essay writing.
Feel free to browse my website and my notes!

Big font and library update!
April 15, 2025
Did a huge overhaul of the fonts!
I chose google fonts for its very open lisences and its ease of browsing. The fonts used in this website(as the time of writing this) are:
Domine by Impallari Type for the main text
Winky Rough by Typofactur for the title
Patua One by LatinoType for the headers
Out of all of these, I am the most on the fence about Patua One. It seems to be a small size font based off of the description and seems a tad too loud on bigger headers.
For how I finally came to the decision on which fonts to choose, I consulted with the book The Graphic Design School's chapter on fonts. From that chapter, my biggest takeaway was the importance of the history of each font has on its use-case and mood. And another is when in doubt, trust the typographer's description!
This is a little updates post, not an actual blog/analysis post, so I will keep it short for now to move on over to...
Library Book buttons update!
I've tinkered with html and its settings and found a way to program the books you will see there now. Now more book like and less long green button, the library is on its way to becoming much cozier. Here's a sample of the before and after:
Green w3schools placeholder button to book spine
Other updates:
Other updates include increased text size for readability. Some small formatting fixes on margins, padding, and some CSS updating on the webpages.
(April 16,2025 edit:) Also fixed the custom cursor and tentatively added the thought cloud on the on the homepage! I also made a new book on the resources I used for this website that has at least the basics of what I've been inspired by and what I have referenced.
And with that...
Today's update is a wrap!
