At this point, I pray that this layout doesn't cripple my career opportunities... Because of the old-dated look with outdated styles and not being responsible? That too, but specially because of the thematic: Yaoi, or ships between male characters (also called BL). What can I say? I grew with fandoms. And truth be told it was thanks to yaoi that I started learning how to respect the lgbt+ community, so despite the toxic people I like how I can always get something positive out of everything, at least so far.
That said, one of the purposes of this blog is to show how my skills evolved, so I'm not shying away of displaying how I started. But looking at this, I also realize that, while my skills evolved, my creativity... not so much. Especially now that minimalism is so valued, I feel like there is less freedom for people to mess around. If some of the ideas I had for this layout were more polished or better executed, the result might have been better. That's one of the reasons why I applaud people who are still going strong with old blogs and continue creating "old-school" templates for their personal corner of the web.
