Bruh the harry potter theme song scared the shit out of me as it turned itself on. Bad UX for a personal site. Great article btw !

Where can one be whimsical and fun if not for a personal site?

sorry, i added it to set the mood for my site :') yk, like moving lamps at the top, hanging dementor at the right side (only visible on desktops).

should i remove it?

yes

No, it made me laugh.

>should i remove it?

there is no place for fun, whimsy, moods, or personalization on the web. sorry.

(no, at least not at the request of random internet stranger #10545346)

Around here, many people have their sense of humor, removed, during their first colonoscopy.

I joke, anyway, and bear the downvotes. Totally worth it.

Middle ground: make it respect `prefers-reduced-motion` :)

absolutely not! it is a delightful source of whimsy on an increasingly uniform web

No, it's your playground. My podcast was talking about the music the guest was making and I thought he was playing something Potter related.

I used developer tools to delete the dementor, then I muted the site when it started playing music.

Nah, keep it. It's your site and that's where you get to have fun!

NEVER PURGE YOUR WHIMSY.

Nah, it's fine! I just muted the tab, no big deal

I liked it. I wondered where the music was coming from initially, but I liked it.
