https://blackwings.neocities.org/
Black Wings Society is a mysterious online collective centered around Serial Experiments Lain, cyberpunk philosophy, transhumanism, and lainism, presenting itself as a quasi-cult community with roots dating back to 1996. Visitors will find a stylized retro-aesthetic space referencing Mebious, the Wired, and figures like fauux, with sections for enlightenment, revival, transcendence, and connection.
https://astracelestine.nekoweb.org/
Astra's personal corner of the indie web, built by a teenage girl who grew up online and shares her thoughts on mental health, trauma, and politics. The landing page features an iMac G3 aesthetic with autoplaying music and links to her webspace and a tropical rice bowl webring.
https://aromatic.wings.nu/
Aromatic is a web clique created by Kirryn as an unofficial reboot of the classic 1990s clique Scented Angels, inviting webmasters to declare the 'scent' of their current site layout and join a community of like-minded old-web enthusiasts. With 185 members and roots in the Teen Domain Scene era, it captures the nostalgic spirit of early internet community-building through themed cliques and webrings.
https://tilde.town/~spook
Spook's sparse corner of tilde.town contains little more than a todo list and a nod to jumping on the tilde community bandwagon. A nearly empty member page in the old-web tilde revival community, it signals participation more than content.
https://tilde.town/~objelisks
A sparse tilde.town member page belonging to 'objelisks', listing a handful of eclectic interests ranging from swing music and food to Morrowind lore and amorphous computing. The page is a classic tilde community stub, pointing outward to a few curious links rather than hosting deep content of its own.
