[Wonkypaws]

i’m good, my favorite time of year is either summer or christmastime

^ WOW i was not expecting philosophy here but im not complaining because that’s true
> ive been having SO much fun filling in oekaki bases with my new sona you have NO idea
v normally i ask how are you but the person above beat me to it SO instead, what’s your favorite thing right now. infodump on me

[Espresso. ༺]

OOH! this is somewhat of an old obsession i've just started getting back into, its Neko Atsume! it's not really much of a game per se? but you collect cats in your yard and you buy them food and toys on your phone. when i was younger i used to have a ton of the rare cats and my yard used to be full of them, but i had to start over from scratch sadly. i just started playing again a few days ago, but i'm off to a great start! i have quite a few of the more common cats and i'm working on getting Xerxies XI (one of the rare cats, he's very rich and leaves gold fish every time he comes), but he's a rather expensive cat to get, so i think i'm gonna focus on a yard expansion first.

^ has a really pretty stamp collection! it's very descriptive and says a lot about you and your personal aesthetic, very nice
> I AM FINALLY GETTING OVER BEING SICK! i feel great today!
v tell me about the worst sickness you've ever had

[vi‎ ‎]

i had a HORRIBLE cough when i was young. i think it was during the summer but i can't quite remember. i just remember feeling nasty haha
^ WOW!!! that's great im so happy for you!!!!! it always feels so freeing after
> listening to music :) i have physical therapy later
v what's something you're gonna do today?

[dionysvs]

^ i hope you have a wonderful time! concerts are so fun
> i had not been working at this place for 2 days and they fired me within the first hour of my shift today over my availability. i am a student. sorry i was in a musical and have my wisdom teeth surgery coming up and i have school and i told yall in advance!! u could have called me instead of wasting my time today. oh my god. made me out to be unreliable and im so livid right now i cannot even begin to express ! thank u for coming to adrians rage
v whats a stupid thing that had happened to u and made u rlly mad? lol

[Espresso. ༺]

someone on animal jam stole my identity and made youtube videos pretending to be me and my animal jam friends fell for it. they didn't even do a good job at it, it was clearly not me and our usernames weren't even similar, and my friends got mad at me over this "damning information" even though.. the worst thing they were pretending was true was that i was 2 years younger than my actual age.

^ that's so incredibly frustrating, i'm so very sorry to hear that. i hope your next job opening is a lot more professional
> i have 4 baby black kittens in my garage! i'm so excited to play with them again now that i'm better
v tell me about your wildest experience you had as a kid on a game like habbo, AJ, club penguin, etc.

[saw]

animal jam. i was gonna do something on my main to get it banned for a few days (why? i have NO idea) so i gifted my headdress to my side account and used it for those days. someone sent me a jam a gram in those days, and going to send my headdress back to my main account, i didnt look at the author of the jag. i accidentally sent it to them. they blocked me and removed me as friends when i said it was an accident.

i cried so hard as a kid when that happened, in fact it made me quit animal jam back then. i worked my way all the way up to a blue headdress back when an orange short wrist was 4 den betas and then poof. all gone
^ how... what....... i cant even follow that story ???
> had a good therapy session and got some food after. subway :-)
v last place you ate at?

[outro;tear]

yesssss yesssss good question I would literally punch any of them but maybe right now id punch zeus god of thunder just because he was Definitely Not the best God

^ I hope ya feel better soon ...try not to wallow in those thoughts too much
> Hmmmmmmmm thinking there may be something else that's wrong with me but i dont know what ..........
v What is the worst way youve heard somebody pronounce a word

[Namoki]

Myself trying to say paladin. I can't pronounce words if my life depends on it so there's ALWAYS a story of how horribly butchered I said something.. It's great!

^ Try not to think too hard about it, I'm sure if there is, you'll find a way to tend to it, maybe not the most positive way of saying it, but taking a step back helps me.

> I found this cute bug plushie that I want to get for my bf and I, he's scared of bugs though so I don't know.. They're really cute. (x)

v Favorite insect if any? (If not, favorite animal?)

[darling feathers]

i have a soft spot for monarch caterpillars. at my home, we
grow milkweed plants and each year i spend around half an
hour everyday placing caterpillars back on the plants when
they get too far away (obviously not those cocooning though).
i also really like chalybion californicums or blue mud wasps.
they're very stunning to look at and are not aggressive insects,
which is kind of opposite from the rep that most wasps have.

^ for some reason the link won't work ;( those are very
cute plushes though it maybe isn't the best thing to get for
your boyfriend if he doesn't like bugs haha
> aaaaa calling people is so stressful. i'm trying to get into
therapy because i need it, but the social worker who referred
me to some obviously asked me to call around to see who is
available & i've been putting it off because i hate phone calls
that aren't with close friends or family.
v tell me about a special interest of yours!

[hypnowave]

after one of my favorite video essayists posted a video about time loops i started thinking about how much i loved plot points that centered around time one way or another, like time loops or amnesia or time travel (although that last one is incredibly circumstantial). i really like stories that focus on human behavior and predictions and experiences and so on and so forth. i feel like time loops are a really good way to explore how characters may consider themselves free of consequence, and how they come to terms with themselves if they ever break out of that loop. i feel like amnesia is a good way to explore how much of a character's actions are the result of their inherent personality as opposed to their experiences (as well as how experiences and personality are intertwined). i feel like time travel is a good way to explore a character's self-introspection, though i'm not a big fan of time travel plots that deal with things on a larger scale. i like it when it explores the relationship between a person and the self, or the relationship between multiple people.

^ ah, i'm familiar. still haven't gone to therapy yet because calling around is so taxing. best of luck, i hope you'll be able to muster up the energy it takes to make those additional calls!
> ma'am your materials are incredibly interesting (despite my personal contentions with some of them) but trying to pay attention for a solid two hours and thirty minutes is so hard... let me rest
v what's in a name?
