As a purveyor of weird/quirky internet things, there are few things I love more than coming across a new little tool to make fun things with. Here's a running list of some of my favorites that I've found!
Games
Bitsy is a "little editor for little games or worlds" and one of my personal favorite tools on this list. A good first start if you want to make a game and have never made one before. It's got a pretty extensive wiki if you want to add audio, animations, etc.
Flickgame is just about as simple as it gets. You get 16 colors and 16 slides, and clicking colors is how you get to different slides. Super easy and fun!
Flicksy is both of the above combined! Make more complicated sprites that lead between branching rooms. Full disclosure, I've never actually made something with this, but it's been on my radar for a while.
Twine is almost too mainstream to put on this list, but it's a great one to know about. It's a tool for making those interactive fiction games where you click on the words to progress. So fun and hugely customizable.
Music
Beepbox is my current favorite way to create music. You get 16 measures and a pretty expansive set of preset instruments, with the option of making your own adjustments. The song is stored in the web address, so sharing is as simple as copy pasting the link! You can also export your music (so that you can add it to your games) UPDATE: Turns out you can have more than 16 measures! I just can't read. That makes it more cool!
Art
Piskel is an easy way to make pixel art sprites and animations. It's easy to use and you can resize sprites too!
Websites
Neocities!!! I cannot recommend this one enough. Build your own websites from scratch! Revel in the vibes of the internet in the late 1990s - early 2000s! This does require some coding knowledge, but there are plenty of resources out there to help. Speaking as someone who had 0 coding skills before making my site, it's very easy to pick up.
Domino is another tool that I've never actually used but have always wanted to. It's "a tool for collaging fragmentary thoughts and ideas without the friction of assembling them into linear writing", and is essentially a bunch of boxes that connect to one another, sort of like a mind map.
ProBoards is a free(!) forum creation website. You can even customize the layout with your Neocities coding knowledge!
Carrd is in no way underground, but as far as easy website tools come, it's one of the best, so it deserves to be here. Plus you can definitely make interesting and quirky things with it - this little game is one of my favorite carrds I've ever seen!
Please add any tools you love in the notes! I just adore finding things like this, and I'm sure there are some I've missed. It's important for creativity to sometimes spend an afternoon making a weird song or website that you never would have normally. I hope this inspires you to create!

it's currently a work in progress, but i made a forum called tommytopia :-) it's like a general hangout for anyone who misses the old internet and the forum age. i'm going to be updating it frequently, and i plan to use it as a host for a lot of information about the old web and making yourself a space on the internet outside of the current megacorp social media presences. i will eventually be putting up tutorials for neocities and website building, along with how to archive things both online and through offline physical storage, so stay tuned for that. anyone is welcome to register and share their knowledge, their creations, or just to come hang out! <3 i also plan to put a lot more stuff there as the forum grows

Set in the year 2157, Animal Planet imagines a world not unlike our own where animals reign over all and humans have become little more than beasts. Reduced to household pets, scientific test subjects, and slave labor. As talk of rebellion hits the capitol city however, it seems that challenge to the new world order has finally come
Animal Planet is an original futuristic RP heavily inspired by the Planet of the Apes franchise. Newly reopened with an optional app, and no word count, there’s a million reasons to join the fight.

Terra Marique
Tumblr media
Home || Getting Started || Clans || The Story || Discord
By Land and Sea, and the wind that connects the two. We are a vast group who will do anything to continue our legacy. Many seasons after the original clans faded, few held onto hope of a new land and after many long moons of searching they found it. However Starclan did not intend for them to have an easy life and disaster struck, leaving the clans to rebuild their homes once more.
This is a semi-literate warrior site based from the original books. This takes place many moons after the original clans and they have since relocated and restarted the clans once more. The late Leaders Orchid, Shore and Gale all set them up before passing on their legacies.
We are a very open and friendly group of individuals. We have plots starting soon and we will be hosting a couple of try-outs for high ranking positions soon as well! So please keep an eye out!

[Proboards] Pixie Hollow
Rather you have done written roleplay before or not, if you like the Disney tale of the “Tinkerbell” Movies, this forum is one you are going to want to explore.
For those who are new, you might be wanting what written roleplay is. It is only one of the way to have a creative outlet. Here you are able to design your own character that fits in the universe of the roleplay you are joining. In this case a fairy or sparrowman. You get to create a character with distinct personality with likes and dislikes. And roleplay as that character. 
To roleplay all you have to do write an interaction with an author would write a character’s in a book.
This is the preopening of the site, so its a period where to discuss if there is something I missed on the site, or something you are wanting to see in the roleplay.
Come check out the forum if you are interested!
