the <^> game | v. twenty-four

[Disintegration]

Probably Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. Reread it a bunch of times and am generally just a big Kafka fan! :]

^ Heard of that book... Maybe I should read it

> Got so stressed thinking about college stuff that I relearned how to draw (????;;;.;,!?!)

v hii Who's your favorite author? What makes you like them so much?

[lemonbumb]

hands down casey mcquiston and tj klune. i love their narrating voices and how they write the interactions between characters a lot. it tickles my brain. they both do queer romance, casey especially and the character development in klunes books are just so fleshed out and well done

^ that's such a mood omg. i picked up coloring as a hobby last semester to destress from classes so i totally feel it lol
> i registered for spring classes today !! i'm finishing up the credits i need for my major and my first minor, so i need to register for my second one after next semester starts bc i still have about 35crh i need for graduation. also, i think i'm finally done sorting my pets out, but idk if i wanna make things more specific or not ;; it took me literally 4 days to get this far with it but im proud anyway lol
v tell me about your crush! or if you aren't comfortable or don't have one, tell me about your best friend!

[kkermit.]

Oooh, my crush is on this one mysterious guy. We've talked a couple times, but he's so fine. He also has an eyebrow piercing like me and he complimented it! It had me internally screaming for 2 hours.

^ Good for you! I need to register for my classes next week. Also, I feel that with pet sorting. It's so tedious and even after you're done with the finished product, it feels empty? I don't know how to explain it, but it's such a relieving feeling to be done with pet sorting.

> I have 3 classes back-to-back tomorrow. Afterwards, though, I get the room to myself, which means I can watch object shows and scroll on Chicken Smoothie forums lol.

v Quick, you can only save ONE of your favorite snacks. What would it be?

[spideysense]

ack! probably cheddar cheese Ruffles chips, they’re so good :3

^ OUGH wishing you good luck with your classes!! It’s great you have the time to wind down afterwards, rest is important! I hope you have fun in your downtime!

> Been forcing myself to take a break from writing my comic for a few weeks because working on it during burnout always leads to ruin for me, but I’ve been having some new ideas for it lately! Trying to just let it marinate in my mind at the moment… I’m starting to get excited about the story again though which is a good sign :]

v do you write / have you ever considered writing? poetry, original stories, fanfic, anything!
[if you don’t feel the question is applicable to you, what’s your favorite dessert? <3]

[lemonbumb]

i used to write fanfic a lot when i was younger but i haven't written anything substantial since the pandemic. i find myself wanting to read more often than write nowadays to be completely honest!

^burnout is never fun, but it's awesome that you're able to recognize your limits with it!
> i went to the book fair at my school today and got a shark egg dig kit. the amount of books was really underwhelming and the whole thing was in this tiny pocket of a room. not a whole lot to choose from. but i like dig kits and sharks so it's a win anyway!
v what's your favorite animal and why?

[LittleMaple]

Oh my god worst question to ask me ever (I love animals) one of my top faces is the maned wolf because I did a research project on it in the 5th grade and it's changed me ever since. They're the only species in their genome, their monogamous for life, AND they sound cool

^ MAN I MISS BOOK FAIRS.... but that's an amazing dig kit I also like sharks :3
> accidently got a new hyperfix erm oopsie... currently saving up to buy all 4 angel hare plushies and the cards. Plus there's secret stretch goals??? Guys we have 2 weeks PLEASE NO MORE MY WALLET HURTS...

^ I love your bio Suicune is so real
> in class rn I have to read a poem I read OUT LOUD HELPPPPPPPPPPP
v how do you feel about public speaking?

[Little Trickster]

I'm pretty good at it and getting more comfortable with it. I'm an actress so being in front of people is pretty easy for me

^ I hope that went well!
> two weeks till my play, can't wait!
v what's your favorite type of music?
