the <^> game | v. twenty-four

[deftonesly]

that if someone shows who they truly are not just through their words but their actions, you'd better believe them!

^ your profile and username are so cute!!
> waiting for my best friend to get to my house:) it's her birthday and i'm so excited to give her her gift. we've got a day planned full of thrifting, going to an art gallery i got us tickets to, and getting dinner tonight. haven't seen her in a few weeks<33
v what is your favorite style of clothing and why?

[FoxyCipher]

Tough call, but I do very much enjoy a proper suit & tie-type ensemble. Very few people look bad in one, regardless of gender. They're also quite fun to draw; I love looking back at various eras of formalwear and seeing just how much something as simple as a tuxedo has changed from decade to decade.

^ Have fun celebrating your friend's birthday! It sounds like you have a lot of fun stuff planned!

> AAAAAAAAA!!!!! Just checked one of the many UMA threads I've put my name in the ring for recently, and I'm getting my first Fable soon! I'm so giddy, they're one of my favorite UMA's I've discovered on CS to date. I also realize I was quite lucky to snag this, as there were only 2 slots open for first-time owners, and the other one went to literal CS staff artist Doglike (whose pet designs I happen to love). Incredibly mind-boggling to think that I'm getting a new UMA alongside one of the most talented people on this webbed site O-O'

v While I'm on the subject, do you collect pets made by a specific CS artist (past or current)? If so, who, and show me one of your favorite pets by them!

[CXIV]

No, I don't but that sounds like a fun collection to have! I remember I used to love Lilian Nightshade's pets when I was younger because their shading style always stood out to me and I'd be able to easily recognize any pet they'd design.

^—Congrats on the UMA!! I've seen those really boom lately and it's always fun to see what ones people have, especially when they display them in their signature! I hope to see the Fable at some point :)

>—I feel like a ???-life crisis has been ongoing for me lately, so to avoid thinking about that and stressing myself out when I can't fix it (just yet), I decided to indulge in my love of pigeons! Look at this neat signature by my lovely friend Can-can. Aren't they so silly and darling? I especially love the pigeon with the booties, anything in little shoes instantly elevates its cuteness by at least 30%!

v—Are you more of a light-mode user or a dark-mode user? Or does it vary on other factors, such as time of day or what app/website you're on?

[exigua]

it's harshing my edgelord vibe but i usually have to use light modes because my astigmatism is too bad for how high contrast most dark modes are. ideally i'd have a low-contrast dark mode, but alas...

^ i adore your icon and signature, i am also a bird enthusiast and i adore pigeons so much. lovely, silly-yet-intelligent little fellas.
> i never liked any celebrities, assumed i was just missing whatever factor made celebrity culture "click", and i never expected a k-pop group to be keeping my mental state intact but this has just been the entire past year for me. peak theatrics, i don't know what else to tell you.
v what keeps you going/makes you happy? could just be something simple and silly.

[lemonbumb]

on a deeper level, the knowledge that what i'm currently experiencing will not last forever. but a more fun level, my cat. she's a lil goober and makes life more interesting for sure. certainly never boring lol

^ i'm not super into kpop but i totally understand the appeal. that's absolutely amazing

> trying to crank out a 1.5pg paper outline past midnight three days before its due because i gots a busy holiday weekend and need slightly less stress on my brain. i'm just glad it's informal so i don't have to worry about references or anything. ack

v have you had enough water today??

[Chevalier]

Er, probably not, although I never really keep track of it.
^ I don't know how people procrastinate papers until the last minute (the stress would kill me) but good luck with that. And enjoy the holiday!
> I had a week off uni, but it's been nothing but stressful w/ family stuff that I don't feel like I've relaxed at all unfortunately... and after socialising all day today, I have to catch a flight tomorrow. At least I have Monday off. I've been too tired even to draw lately.
v Tell me about your OCs or a character you like.

[akü]

woops i was just about to drop my hydration status, but i'm happy to answer this as well!

i think i've talked about the others in this sketch, so i'll talk about elijah (nun). she's a beanpole of a woman who had a rough past but wiped a lot of it from her memory in order to cope. elijah's a stickler for the rules, serious, and can't wrap her head around the concept of fun. she's a little repressed because bad things happen when she gets too emotional and/or stressed. she doesn't find out exactly what happens until much later in her life, but it leaves her with horrible fatigue and joint pain after she has an "episode" of her usual ailment. the solar eclipse is her personal motif because once in a while her brilliance gets overshadowed by something sinister.

^ we are in the same boat with stress + tired to draw. i'm glad you get monday to unwind, and hope you have a chill day off
> this week was oof... life has a way of stacking lots of really weird/tough things together and throwing it at you all at once
v what's your fav candy?

[sonieatex]

meiji apollo strawberry chocolates! i like sour candies as well but i don't eat much candy usually

^ you can get through it!!!
> eating dumplings rn yay
v fav comfort food?

[crème de leigh crème]

oooh it's like you know i would be here... food is how you get me talking... probably chicken pot pie??

^ i wonder how you'd rate those dumplings out of 10! i also wonder they what kind they were, like gyoza or bao :O
> i'mmmm procrastinating so hard on an assignment right now LOL. i'm so grateful my professor approved an extension. this report required an interview and i waited until the last minute to do it. doing outreach is nerve-wracking
v how's your sleep schedule lately? are you getting enough? :)

[kaveh]

because of my job, im pretty strict about getting 7 or 8 hours of sleep. except my schedule has me waking up at 5 am lately so ive been tired regardless LOL

^ good luck on your assignment!
> never seen jurassic park before and ive been marathoning all the movies with my partner....i love them
v what was the last movie you saw?
