ill be honest. everyone’s blogs had cool and unique names. and what i had? nothing. i simply called my website “rina’s space”. and while there isn’t anything inherently bad with that, it is also... a bit boring. because what do you mean i named my own website after myself? when i could literally have any other name in the world.

for this reason i’ve decided to do a small rebrand. instead of my website being named “rina’s space” with a tagline of “doing what she does”, the website is now called “muffled voice” with tagline of “pinch the bridge until it stays”. (⁠^⁠.⁠_⁠.⁠^⁠)⁠ﾉ considering im quite shy and introverted, and also like masks, i think this is more adjacent with my personality, rather then simply naming the website after myself. the domain is also switched from riri.my to mask.pet. (⁠^⁠～⁠^⁠;⁠)⁠ゞ

however, riri.my will still be used for email(s) and possible side projects (as subdomains under riri.my), with mask.pet being dedicated to my personal website. honestly, i also think that mask.pet as a domain, has more personality than riri.my. while riri.my is short and sweet, and a kind of domain some would kill for, since it has a CVCV pattern, it is also too ordinary 😭😭

i don’t know, i feel like being different is important. and mask.pet is definitely... different. i promise this time i won’t wipe entire blog again lmao, like the last time i used this domain name. nor will i invent new pseudonyms again, like i previously did under this domain. i am rina. always was, always will be. i do not have any reasons to “hide”. and i’m sorry if switching back to this domain name gave some of you guys flashbacks. i promise, this time nothing will change. i just wanted to give my website a name. naming my website after myself felt quite narcissistic, to be honest. and i think “muffled voice” is much nicer than “rina’s space”. and besides i wanted an excuse to use mask.pet as a domain name. this domain sure is... interesting?

anyways, what do you think about small rebrand? do you love it, do you hate it? well either way, it is how it is now. so you better get used to it ┌⁠(⁠・⁠。⁠・⁠)⁠┘⁠♪
