nickname change!

I’m changing my nickname from liquidex to riki!

so don’t be surprised that https://liquidex.house now redirects to https://riki.house.

- I don’t remember how, but this new nickname came to me around New Year’s Eve. I was thinking about my alt nickname rikiddo and thought to myself, “I wonder what will happen if I drop the ddo?” and riki felt like the name of the cutest little critter in the world, so I just had to make the switch!

- I’ve been rocking the liquidex moniker for 4 or 5 years now. liquid in various forms has been my nickname for over twice as long. I liked it when I came up with it, but I feel like it no longer reflects myself or my values very well.

  - honestly most of all, liquidex just feels like the wrong sort of name for a furry —w—
    2025-01-06
  - but that’s not surprising, given that I came up with it while spreading hate towards innocent people. it was meant to be cheap and edgy-sounding.
    2025-01-06
    which no longer aligns with what I want to be, so sayōnara, liquidex!

- I’m not getting rid of the liquidex username in most places, though—I like to imagine it might be a fun name for a company one day. liquidex or liquidev, either would work, and they fit pretty well considering riki’s etymology.

riki feels like just the right sort of nickname for myself. it sounds cute and fun, yet slightly mischievous, perfect for the playful little cat I am. —w—

- I also kind of like it doesn’t really imply a specific gender. feels right for a femboy-ish person like myself.

I’ve been rebranding the treehouse to fit this change, of course.
2025-01-06
- my website’s no longer liquidex’s treehouse, it’s riki’s house now!
  
  or, riki’s fluffy little house if you like typing a lot.

- the new logo is essentially just my Minecraft house, lmao. I liked the design so much I thought it would be perfect for a website with a .house TLD.
  2025-01-06
- you may have noticed the website is a lot more pink now. or purple, if you’re on dark mode.
  2025-01-06
  - I decided to go with these colors, because they fit the pink color scheme of the house pretty well!
    2025-01-06
  - also, I don’t really like the stereotype that pink is a girly color. so here it is: I’m a guy with a girly-looking website. cry about it!
    2025-01-06
  - I increased the overall contrast and boldness of the typography a ton, too. the text is now darker (or lighter, if you’re in dark mode), the code examples now have a more readable light mode theme, and the fonts are overall more bold and readable.
    2025-01-06
- but, the treehouse in the corner is not going anywhere! at its core, this piece of software is still called treehouse, and I don’t really wanna change that. I think it’s a good name.
  2025-01-06
so yeah, I think that pretty much covers it all—my nickname’s riki now, so don’t be surprised about the change!
