This page contains hidden scrolls and overlapping images/text. Text has been hidden intentionally but it is not of any nefarious nature. This CSS is purely built for aesthetic & my new OC/OOC character "Bones" and to express myself as a player on TEFc. ♥
This page is intently expressive and has been made with love, I apologize if things are hard to read however this is entirely aesthetically related. See if you can find all the hidden text! This page is also still in the works of being further developed code-wise so bear with me while improvements are being made.
I hope to see you in The Endless Forest. <3
Hey!
I'm so glad you found your way here, welcome to my humble page! I will add some things to this.. eventually.
4/4/2026 - I've updated this page, it took me almost all day and I've worked really hard on this. I'm not really sure what I was going for to be honest. I just wanted to finally create a CSS that was different, unique, and otherwise interesting.
I wanted to finally put my mind to paper because I've realized I've never actually created a true and proper OOC. So this is my attempt at it, and the beautiful thing is it was a rediscovery.
Welcome to my page! <3 I'm so happy you're here! Please stay here as long as you need and take your time to take things in. If you have any questions let me know. <3
Old post from when I was still debating my return.
Hey.
I've been gone, a very, very long time from this community. A few might recognize me from past aliases and others might not. My curiosity had gotten the better of me and figured I could give another try at returning to the community, which is still rather tentative and under consideration.
I have gone by many names in the past years here and looking back I can definitely see where I left off and what followed suit in my life then. This community/game and I have a lot of history, characters, art, biographies, and entire lore(s). That I one day just decided to let go and forget.
And there's a part of it that saddens me because I was younger at the time and life was fleeting. I had been dealing with a lot back then. I don't need to get into all the details but I guess it's another long story.
Anyways, I wanted to come back here and offer an apology to anyone whom may have connected with me personally or interacted with quite literally any of my characters IC or OOC / etc. I am understanding of the fact that it's quite rude and unbecoming to just up and leave a community with stories and roleplay's unfinished.
I hold this community dear to my heart, and I have never forgotten it -- aside from forgetting most of my usernames and passwords to other pictograms lol.
For what it's worth, please accept my most humble apologies. For anyone who recognizes me and would like to speak with me please feel free to contact me on discord. I'm happy to answer any questions albeit they are reasonable.
I am open to new friends/connections/interactions, so don't be shy -- say hi!
Thanks for giving this a read. ❤ discord: illuminatedbones
Preface
I have an err for the dramatic. I always have. I've spent a long time in my life changing, growing, and evolving as a person and as a human being.
I've come to find that my mind, while very imaginative, and equally logical - have agreed with the thinking mind that is philosophical.
- "Bones i.e. IlluminatedBones"
General
I have experienced a lot in my life as an individual learning about this world and the people in it. The Endless Forest was a beautiful place for my soul to return home to. It had unknowingly and knowingly become a home. Through the amazing and beautiful exploration of art, literature, and mystery and wonder. And maybe a little whimsy and magic.
In plain, I adore this community. It helped me heal through wounds I hardly understood and yet had a place to express the love that was so dearly wanted and needed. And this community so freely gave in return amidst any dramas or tales going around.
And I too realize, that I'm more than likely not the first person to have experienced this in this community. I'm just a brave soul stepping forward and putting my thoughts to "paper."
But this strange little community has persevered through time in an archaic way that has remained and left untouched. Even if there are/were a few minor changes on every level and possible degree, after being lost to the world so long and coming back; This is the one place I think is a beautiful place to be.
And it is not often you can find something like this, a nugget of gold hidden among the weeds.
So thank you "The Endless Forest & It's Inhabitants & Creatures & Things."
Love
The heart wanders, the soul steadies, and the spirit speaks. I'm merely returning the love that was once given and so cherished; I had taken for granted. In the only way that I know how, which is through CSS, coding, HTML, Canva, Graphics, BBCODE, and expression of emotion through slightly obscure words.
Thank you for reading this. <3
Yours, illuminatedBones.
General Overview
→ I am not always at my PC, and may have to step away a lot.
↠ If my characters do not respond or are sleeping, I am more than likely AFK (away from the keyboard/computer.)
→ My characters and myself included never mean any actual disrespect OOCly whatsoever.
→ My characters if listed actively IC, are in-fact IC. Meaning that they are IN Characterand do NOT represent me as a player. Their actions are separate from my own.
↠ My IC characters may interact OOC-ly if the circumstance arrives, being that other OOC's interact with them, IC rules may not apply. This is simply to help keep the joyful and pleasant "vibe" of The Endless Forest and maintain a positive community.
→ Yes I have a "negative" character or two but they are not SO negative that they can't be interacted with in a beneficial way. Any listed and active "negative" characters are more than allowed to be interacted with 100% of the time. IC roleplay interactions are strictly kept to discord and are kept private.
→ If you do NOT want YOUR characters to be interacted with, please privately message me. I am absolutely happy to work things out.
→ My characters are always open for interactions and RP.
→ I as a player, may not always have the time nor energy to provide a full interaction or attention to the writing/game.
↠ I sometimes have a lot going on in real life and outside of the game, please be patient and understanding with me. I will do my best to keep things updated and consistent but things may be slow, because again I don't always have time.
→ I absolutely love this community and everyone in it, don't be shy -- say hi! I'm always open to new interactions, friends, and time well spent in the forest. It is quite a joy.
Congratulations, you've been awarded two new shiny feathers! Thank you for visiting! Oh and please feel free to put these on your IC/OOC/OC's characters as accessories. My gift to you.<3
Hello! Its so nice to see you have returned!
I remember you. I really love the artwork of your deer.
Hopefully we can see each other in the forest soon <3
Welcome back, I remember you and honestly I feel like there's no need to apologize for your absence or your disappearance from roleplaying or character scene. What I mean by that is that I'm sure people understand that life goes on and sometimes we need a break from everything until we're ready to come back.
I'm so happy to see you and your characters once again and I can't wait to see how they develop this time around. Feel free to interact with mine anytime! <3
I get a lot of enjoyment out of the creativeness you put out! Just like the cards you're making, what you've done here is really fascinating. Your brain is a cool place and I keep looking forward to what you'll do next.
This page is also still in the works of being further developed code-wise so bear with me while improvements are being made. 
I always remember you.
