I NEED HIS AURA ADLKSDLASJNDL
WELCOME TO MY SITE! I'm faucet!
I've been trying to get into more games recently, so I've been playing Fire Emblem 11 with my partner. This means I haven't actually finished a single Fire Emblem game and Marth is already making me mad
Sorry Marth I used my brainrot towards you to motivate me to make a website
I'm faucet! (they/them)
I'm a digital artist, animator, and musician (I go to uni for oboe). I love tinkering with small mechanisms and making crafts.
I am passionate about retro video game preservation and digital privacy,
and am not supportive of corporations who want to control
digital life.
me in real
notice
I am frustrated with privacy concerns and the amount of bloat that companies
try to push on my devices to maximize profit and control over
my life.
These are some movements/news that I care about and want to bring your attention to.
Keep Android Open - Google will be locking down on non-Google approved apps on Android starting September 2026.
Giving Google control over Android apps is against its initial selling point over Apple, hurts independent developers,
and risks internet censorship.
Myrient Shutdown - Myrient, a legacy video game preservation site with direct downloads freely available, had shut down on
March 31st 2026. One of the reasons for closure was due to the increasing prices of RAM and storage devices from the demand for AI data centers.
Clippy Movement - A movement which encourages users to change their profile pictures to Clippy to bring
awareness to the many invasive and exploititve practices of big tech companies.
I have been making changes in my life to gain back control
over the tech that I own. I am a proud owner of a dumbphone, an mp3 player, multiple hacked eReaders,
and video game consoles with CFW. I still use some social media on
platforms I disagree with, but I have changed the way I interact with them to feel more comfortable.

After their redebut, I find myself missing VCHA
I reflect on one of my favourite girl groups and what it meant to me
Girlset (previously known as VCHA) is an American girl group founded by JYP Entertainment and Republic Records in 2023. The members of VCHA were formed through a survival show titled "America2Korea (A2K)". Two members had left the group by 2025, and the four remaining members soon redebuted as Girlset.
I was a huge VCHA fan since the very beginning. I had followed along with the survival show and literally all of my favourites (who didn't quit) made it into the group. I was in love with their cute, inspirational Barbie concept. Their music had themes of perseverance, and celebrating success (see Y.O.Universe, Ready for the World, Girls of the Year). Other songs (e.g. XO Call Me, Only One) featured innocent, exciting feelings towards love.
The music was cheesy with surface-level lyric meanings, and the group was criticized for being too "childish", but I LOVED IT. It was all straight faucetslop. At the time when their music was coming out, I was working towards my university auditions. Seeing VCHA--a group with members who are my age--perform fun, upbeat music about working hard to achieve your dreams, inspired and motivated me to do my best.
While I of course put the priorities of the health and rights of the girls at the forefront, and fully support Kaylee and KG in their future endeavours, I do miss this era because of what it did and what it continues to do to me when I look back at their music. Their concept was so cute man
Now in their rebrand as Girlset, while I do see many of these VCHA-esque themes of empowerment (Commas, Little Miss), it is kinda packaged differently. Instead of being at the forefront, these themes of success are layered in with new themes of feminism and more of a focus on dating. They now gear towards a more mature, Y2K street style.
I do love their new concept. It's confident, punchy, and cool. It tailors more towards the KPop-listening audience that actually listens to their music, instead of someone younger. Now that the girls seem to be given more creative freedom over their group's image, I think this is a nice shift for them.
I just miss VCHA sometimes.
I do listen to them when I can, but they don't have the same consistent replayability that their previous concepts had for me. I have a hard time relating to their lyrics (not big in the dating scene, not that big into going on dates with 'stupid boys')
All the moping about nostalgia aside, I am still an avid follower of the group. All of my favourite members are still in, so I still love supporting Girlset and find excitement in finding out what new concept they will try next.
