KINGRAT
Russian-American madman who will eat you like Baba Yaga
My name is Nikita (Nick) or Nadezda (Nadya), and I've been maintaining this website since sometime in 2019. Originally I had made it to use as a sandbox and keep my OC information someplace accessible, but as I grew older and all that fun shit, I ended up adding more.
I've had many interations of this website, though this time around I decided to make it simpler on me and have a slightly more Web 1.0 approach. The site might look a little ugly for a bit, but bear with me as I'm changing things. I hope to make the CSS easier to deal with, since the way I handled it before fucking sucked (I didn't bother changing the file path, so I instead just put a new copy of the CSS in each folder). Despite wanting a simpler approach, I'm still going to take advantage of as much new-fangled HTML/CSS I need to. For your sake and mine, I'll do what I can to lay off on the JS.
For more personal information about me:
I was born in San Francisco and raised in the surrounding cities, but currently live on a ranch further north. My family descends from modern day Ukraine (Odessa and Poltava), but this was part of Russia at the time and we've always considered ourselves Russian. They moved here about a century ago at this point, however I still feel very connected to my heritage, and do what I can to honour my ancestors.
I am very passionate about language. Historical linguistics is very interesting to me, and I would ideally want to learn every language in the world, if I could. I translate many things into English to make them more accessible to a wider audience. I do caption work with some of my translations, though unfortunately due to copyright reasons I'm not sure when I'll upload them. My song translations are periodically uploaded here, but I have TONS, so they'll never all be up.
You'll learn a lot about me as you look through this website, so I'll try to hold back on my interests here. I'm currently unemployed and can't get around much, so I'll be updating this site pretty often anyway. I have work to do around the property, so it's not like I'm lazing around all the time, but it still leaves me with more free time than I'm comfortable...
