the <^> game | v. twenty-four

[cainhurst]

dark. i used business for the longest time, but dark is the easiest on my eyes nowadays

^ i feel that. i used to write guides for myself on paper as a child, but nowadays with the accessability of the internet i don't really do that anymore since i can just quickly look things up if need be
> shoutout to the following underrated animals: moles, porcupines, and walruses
v hello fellow CS user, what are three underrated animals that you would like to give a shoutout to?

[hyacinthical]

opossums, octopus and orangutans, lol. i feel there are a lot of underrated animals (both living and extinct)!

^ a good selection! porcupines are so cute!!!!
> I'll need to get two of my wisdom teeth extracted soon (one cracked open, another one grew in sideways... like, WHYYYY), so rip to my wallet. I mean, on the bright side, I have no new cavities or gum issues! Was a nice surprise, especially considering my addiction to fizzy drinks (mind you, I do usually try to drink zero sugar... but still!)
v what's your favorite sea creature?

[Chevalier]

LOBSTER
They're beautiful and cute and they're my mascot animal :)


^ Well, good news with bad news is better than only bad news. Hopefully everything goes smoothly! On the bright side, if you're getting them all out at once, you won't have to worry about it in the future.
> Me and mum have always gone to family to celebrate Easter, but this year for a couple reasons we aren't. My mum's relationship to the rest of the family has been bumpy recently and made worse by me coming out. Anyway, this year we celebrated alone, we dyed eggs, got some spring flowers, and made a święconka...kind of. It's supposed to be a decorated basket of important foods (like bread, sausage, a root vegetable, etc) but we didn't have everything to hand, so it was a plate with half the stuff and also chocolate cake and teabags because they were deemed also important. There isn't really a Polish church nearby so we "blessed" it ourselves. It was nice to be able to do it ourselves with our own little twist I think :)
v Do you have any plans for the holiday?

[survira]

just doing a fire and dinner with my family tomorrow evening, it's (allegedly) going to be like 15 degrees celsius so it'll be very nice out too :-) will be very needed LMAO

^ i find it lovely that even in your current family situation you still found a way to enjoy your time with each other and do some nice activities! sounds like it was fun
> already started off my morning a bit bleugh because the payment for my naturopath appointment didn't go through yesterday. i've already got stuff i'm stressed about so this didn't help to read at 8 in the morning before a meeting i attended that i barely even paid attention to because i was trying to clear up this payment issue, which i feel bad about. i can ask my friend for a summary though lol. i DO have new insurance that should cover it all though so i'll find out on monday when they get back to me....
v what was the last fun thing you bought

[lemonbumb]

I bought some stuff off etsy for my graduation outfit! my cap is decorated in a bee theme ("honey you did it!") and I'm wearing a black dress. so i got some amber/copper color waistbeads with a lil bee charm, and a bee necklace !! i'm very excited to see how it all comes together lol

^ oughhh i feel that stress. hopefully it all works out, fingers crossed!

> just booked an appt with a piercing shop that's like. max walking distance for me. i'm not gonna get anything new, but i think my first lobes need to be repierced and my seconds need switching out. this has been bugging me for years and i'm finally doing something about it. yayyy

v do you have any piercings or tattoos? if not, do you have any you want?

[leachface]

I know I’m only supposed to reply to the > but I just wanted to comment your graduation outfit sounds so cute! I hope you like how it turns out!
Honestly you made me come to the realization I should get my lobes repierced too, I don’t really wear earrings though because my hair is so long it covers any I would wear. I don’t have confidence to wear earrings either.

^ no to piercings truthfully, I don’t like needles enough to willing get a piece of metal through my skin. When I was younger I always imagined what having spider bites or a split tongue would be like. Now I’m a wimp and I ain’t risking death to have a snake tongue lol. Tattoos, if you consider microblading a tattoo got that done in 2020 after my ex dumped me. And I still have it just very faded, but my eyebrows aren’t patchy from obsessively pulling them out anymore.
I absolutely want to get a cherry blossom branch done one day, but maybe after my bf and I go to Japan. Cause I want to relax in an onsen without having to cover any tattoos.

> Legit made a fantastic raspberry iced coffee, felt it power up my eyes aka caffeine. Yet I still knocked out as soon as I got back into bed lol
Debating between buying more Saja boys meals for the cards or being brave and asking a McDonald’s worker if I can just buy the cards by themselves to save money.

(Below me) What’s your favorite past time for a rainy day, and do you eat your comfort meal on rainy days?

[urizeno]

I'm usually afflicted with migraines on rainy days, so I lie in bed on my phone, or nap. In cold weather, the rainy day comfort meal is soup. In warm weather, it is ice cream. Yet I usually have neither and just suffer.

^ If you are able to sleep well even after having a lot of caffeine, you might have ADHD. If you haven't been tested, I'd recommend it. I've never had iced coffee because it doesn't agree with me, but raspberry iced coffee sounds like an interesting combination to try.
> I have two methods of reading books. I either read one chapter and don't pick it up again for most of the year, or I finish it in two days.
v If there was one modification you could make to your house without worrying about all the logistics, what would it be? It can be realistic or fantasy, e.g., an attached greenhouse, large indoor aquarium, underground bunker, etc.

[pack.png]

i've always wanted to have one of those attics you could actually go in, it was my dream when i was younger and it still sounds really nice to have
^ god that sucks T_T i hopefully the migraines go away quickly enough as i know how bad they can be at times. my grandpa experiences them too
> i kind of have nothing to say as i'm having a lazy day today, i might draw later
v what's an animal you'd like to keep as a pet, but can't for any reason? [laws, allergies, etc]

[Rabid_Jaguar]

Raccoons...... i LOVE them they're so cute but I'm pretty sure it is illegal to keep one as a pet where i live ;a;

^ if you drew I hope you had fun! and if you didn't I hope you found something else fun to do.
> played a really cool VN today called Ballads at Midnight, had it downloaded for literally years but i'm glad today was finally the day. it really hit right today. also the developer apparently has a ghost romance VN up so that's gotta get IMMEDIATELY wishlisted i love ghost romance
v what's your favorite supernatural creature, and why?

[akü]

i went through a whole dragon phase as a kid, was a huge flight rising player for a while, had a small collection of books about dragons in elementary school, doodled dragons all over my notes as a kid, still have a dragon(ish) oc in my character lineup… it has to be dragons >_>; i just think they’re neat and it’s fun to look at different cultures’ spin on “mystical lizard with special powers”

^ have you ever seen the videos of raccoons getting tricked by cotton candy because they wash everything they eat… you’ve reminded me of those
> going into hibernation after inhaling many plates of food with friends and thinking world isn’t so bad after all. precious joy and whimsy
v did u have any childhood obsessions
