when you've lived in the dark for so long, its hard to know who you are. you may end up pretending to be someone you're not, you may have to put on a facade to everyone around you just to survive... this is what lies underneath, if you are attracted to this site, welcome. i am jack, and this is my project dedicated to figuring out who i truly am as a "human being".
( but you can learn more about me in my obituary ;3 )
but please, enter, wipe your feet, and try not to get lost in the catacombs...

feign is a loveproject spanning all the way back to ~2019, the tender age of 15 brought to me the love of html/css. using a template from an old friend i began delving into creating my own space on the net, surviving through dozens of layout changes, url swaps, and coming of age experiences all at once. being able to watch the progression of my site as i've gotten older has been a wonderful experience, it's basically a tiny time capsule to who i was at the time, how nostalgic.... currently, my page stands as a testament to the things i love, my interest in the gothic and the macabre, my travels throughout the east coast, and a space to truly showcase my passions and creations, this website itself being one!

i also feel with the way the internet has changed there is so little customization, why can't my website be an edgy black and red mess? i grew up using deviantart mostly and we really had it good with even the barebones html boxes they gave users. i miss spending hours making my page really feel like my own with stamps and blinkies! social media gives us so little personalization options and if you aren't making shortform content you get pushed out of the picture anymore.

ever since i started this page i've wanted it to be something i could be proud of, something i could look at and feel like i accomplished something with my own two paws. and i've also hoped for a long time someone would stumble upon my page and it would spark something in them to make their own. any comments you guys have sent me have warmed my heart since the beginning, i think about them all the time. anybody out there creating, THANK YOU!!! we need you now more than ever, your brilliance is only a source of light to those around you. in the end i can only hope more people will break away from the current online state and more independent sites can come about.
