Here are also some sites to check out; a few of these links are repeats from other sections, just assume I like them that much!

Other neocities sites:

Shooting Stars - my younger brother's site! He likes to code things and helped make my site accessible and added those cute sheep on the bottom of the index page!

Soft Heart Clinic - a positive, mental health-focused site with a pastel/medical aesthetic!

Nostalgic - a site in the style of early 2000's sites! I especially like the goodies, it reminds me of stuff you'd put in your status messages or livejournal profiles... the resources are really great and varied too, from graphics to Japanese language to art tutorials and references!!

cloud world - a sweet little personal site that's like a cute, clickable adventure through pastel pixels!!

Straw Berry Basket - a cute personal site about Lolita fashion that also offers some nice graphics (please noooo read the rules!).

Cyber Sparkle - a fun and retro multifandom website with fan-shrines and old web graphics!

Districts - an excellent site that makes it easier to find other neocities websites on the same topics!

Bliss-Net - a very cute and nostalgic website with a very pink layout, old web graphics, helpful links, and some graphics to offer, like a cute kao! ^^ Sooo many blinkies, buttons, and I difn't even know there were still listings like that! A lot of interesting parts seem to still be in the works, but promising!

SunnyFormula - a site focused on sharing information on different subjects, with a very bright and colourful, retro main layout! It feels a lot like the sites geared at kids back in the early 2000's. The site-original articles have neat easy to read layouts. ^^ There are also old articles archived from elsewhere on the web!

Kitty-Kitty Land

Kitty-Kitty Land - a very cute website with toys, art, and other things the sister running the site finds cute. ^^ There also seems to be character fansites ("shrines") to come!

The Digital Diarist - personal site! I love the self-care and self-keeping page, hadn't heard that distinction made in name before. There's also stories to listen to (I like the fairy tale best, East of the Sun & West of the Moon).

Dollhouse Garden - The vintage aesthetics are quite charming so far! There's links to games and colouring pages, right now, so worth checking out for fun diversions. ^^

redribbon - a comforting and cheery site with links to fun things and lists! ^^ Also themed after a comfort character of the webmaster's, which makes me feel better about my main page and link button having Lillie, Iris, and Trip, even if Pokemon's not the focus of the whole site!

Sea of Stars - immensely sweet website with nostalgic graphics (remember those early 2000's 100x100 anime icons with lots of filters and things?) and a sweet, pastel layout! She also links an archive of her old website and she likes Love Nikki and Earl and Fairy! ^^

Other websites (fandom, graphics, cute things):

Shining Sunflower - old anime/manga fan pages and scans from the webmaster's collection of coloring pages!

Fool Lovers - I got so many cute graphics from here! This artist has soooo many cute and useful graphics, like banners, lace (the one on the main page is from here!), and cute pixel art...

Alice's Home - very sweet and pink pixel art graphics, with a lot of tiled backgrounds reminiscent of old-fashioned floral wallpapers, and an Alice in Wonderland theme.

ultimate memole gallery -A very sweet Italian site dedicated to Little Memole with a plot summary and image gallery.

We All Live in a Pokemon World... - (this website is defunct and offline, this is a saved copy from the internet archive!) this website was started by an educator named Kimberly who, when Pokemon was banned from schools, researched it herself and found much to love about the anime's kinder, more ideal world where humans and non-human creatures live and work together respectfully.
I especially love the listing of specific episodes with brief summaries to illustrate each point!

Peachie's Collection of Cute Stuff - a collection of cute old web graphics! Links to source when available. *Some undetailed doll-like nudity.

Catch a Star - lots of super cute graphics by Caz! I've used a couple on this site, very charming, lots of cute critters, sweets, and pastel colours too.

Maple Town - My Favorite Place to Be - a lovingly-made website about Maple Town, providing information on the toys, explaining the differences between them and rival animal toys of the 80's like Sylvanian Families, and even providing some information on the animated series and guests’ memories of the original animated series!

Maple Town Story Forums - a forum dedicated to Maple Town, the toys and associated anime and manga. There are plenty of rare images, scans, and translations here!

It also explains the difference between Maple Town rival toy lines of the 80’s like Sylvanian Families.

BonBonBunny - a very cute site with varied content on cute Japanese fashion subcultures, affordable brands, DIY accessories, tips on decor, and other things! Girlish fun and informative.

Big Top Productions - the official website of the company that made some of my favourite childhood games is seemingly unchanged since 1996, it's warm and nostalgic, with some fun features like character-themed recipes (mostly sweets, but also potpourri!) and Keroppi's pond where he shares submitted poems and journal entries.

I Am2 a beautifully and thoroughly written dedication to Ai/Aitwo (Amber/Ambertwo) from the The Origin of Mewtwo special (originally cut out of the dub and dubbed much later)and Birth of Mewtwo CD Drama. The character's story is very tragic, but she tries so hard to be a comforting and nurturing presence. [CW child character death, not really a spoiler, she's dead before the story begins.]

The Little Prince - you can read The Little Prince online here (it is in the public domain in most of Europe!), with colour illustrations. This is one of my absolute most favourite books ever! It's written in such a way that both children and adults can appreciate it, full pf dreamlike whimsy and charm, but also beautiful pearls of wisdom about life, friendship, love... a very meaningful and beautiful story. The ending always leaves me in tears.

Resources and helpful things:

middlepot- a very lovely site run by pooftie, who also makes beautiful layouts for websites... also, this little page is very nostalgic of the 95/98 era accessible through the links section; there's a lot of nice things there. She also colours graphics and runs a game, and runs a store where she sells hand-made needle-felted plushies.
