If you’ve clicked on this, then you may be a fan of reading–Impressive! Maybe you’ll find some answers to your questions. Or maybe you’re simply bored. That makes two of us.
What is this site?
This is technically a “blog site” for lack of a better word. But, to me, it’s something I made out of love for different aesthetics.
I also created this site with the hopes to help people find what makes them most happy. Certain pictures or scenes may make one feel an internal happiness so strong, without understanding fully why they feel that way, or can’t identify where this feeling stems from. More than likely, it stems from a love for the aesthetic. It’s an appreciation for art in every day life.
Though, not all is sunshine and rainbows. This site could also bring awareness to aesthetics that make you uncomfortable, or what you react negatively to. Perhaps the style of your living space, whether it be a one-bedroom flat, or multi-family home, has a negative affect on your psychology due to a certain aesthetic. Or, perhaps your office space or city holds that aesthetic that makes you uncomfortable, and you can’t figure out why.
Hopefully by identifying aesthetics, you find your happy place. Or, you find the source of your unhappiness. Whether it be good or bad, yin or yang, black or white, however you get use of this website, as long as it helps you, that’s what matters.
More about the person I am
Well, I think it’s important to understand the type of person I am before you continue reading. You may feel that I am sarcastic. Though that may be slightly correct, I’m also just a young adult that enjoys the weird things. Spooky, horror, darkness, oogy boogy kind of stuff. Making these things the peak of my personality has desensitised me, and perhaps I just like to say things as they are.
I’m a full-time queen-of-the-night software developer that plays video games, draws, reads, and watches anime in my free time. And now, I also partake in the research of aesthetics, and creation of the Tickie Tockies. Maybe instead of “queen-of-the-night”, you can call me “shut-in”. Whichever you prefer. I won’t be offended.
But genuinely, in all reality, I care a lot. Sometimes too much. If you’re here because you are looking for help or seratonin, I’m more than happy to help and put all things aside so you can find your inner peace. Feel free to reach out with questions or suggestions–I’m always open.
But, why aesthetics?
Aesthetics bring forth more than simply just colors or… “the feels”. It’s an appreciation of art in all of its forms, whether intended or not at all. Aesthetics can be unique between each individual, defining who they are as a person and what provides them with seratonin.
You can go ahead and read this article on aesthetics and the psychological effects on the brain here, or you can take my word for it in my small summary:
Visuals like colors, art, settings, nature, fantasy, and phenomenon have a powerful effect on dopamine and seratonin, or cortisol and stress. It can directly affect how a person performs, as well as how a person feels.
There’s not much to look at here..
The point of this website is to by constantly growing. With each TikTok video, I will update the website with the aesthetic within 24 hours. All aesthetics will have fun facts, history, pictures (more than the ones shown in TikTok videos), links, music, videos, and anything else I can scrounge up about the aesthetic.
I want to constanly add to the list, persay. Grow the list of categories, and sometimes, you may find an aesthetic I don’t have on my TikTok yet that you love. But don’t worry–the intention is that all aesthetics here will wind up there, and vis versa. Truly, it’s a matter of patience as I update.
(Also, I’m a software developer, I have to be a perfectionist in my HTML layouts of my website…)
So… why is your website black?
Aside from it being my favorite color, I figured a black website would be best for viewing the pictures of aesthetics without distractions. Really makes the colors pop, I guess.
Where did the name _aesthetic_solan come from?
One of my favorite flowers of all time is called the Mandragora, which comes from the family called Solanaceae (deadly nightshade). The aesthetic of the flower (and it’s deadly properties) has interested me and makes me quite happy–therefore the “solan”, short for Solanaceae. “Aesthetic” is quite obvious.
Why are you still talking?
I don’t know. Why are you still here?
