The <^> Game | V.22

[cainhurst]

i don't particularly like most traditional german/bavarian food, if i'm being honest. the one german thing that comes to mind is maultaschen, particularly fried. very easy to make, and the taste is extremely comforting to me. as for specifically bavarian food... i do enjoy a nice pair of weißwurst once in a while, though without the sweet mustard most people pair with them. sweet mustard is an abomination to me and i will die on that hill even if it ostracizes me from the "traditional bavarians" even further

^ i feel like a heathen for enjoying pizza with not as much cheese on it now,,,, but if i could, i'd send you some of the freshly baked bread rolls i made, if you want some. you can pick cheese (butter cheese or middle-aged gouda), strawberry jam, nutella, or butter for your topping (since that's all i have rn unfortunately, very sorry for the lack of choices)
> current mood: ben affleck looking absolutely defeated with a cigarette in his hand // i wish i could shed this body and become an eldritch abomination terrorizing people in their sleep. i'm so tired of existing like this. so many things to be born as and i just had to be a human, huh?
v if you were a monster, what kinda monster would you be?

  > nihil novi sub sole.
  v what's on your mind?

[skyline]

a lot of little things. i've barely had motivation to get out of bed this last week or so. stuff's started to pile up, and i need to get all that done, my friend's also been bugging me to get overwatch and i really want to play with her but don't have the $20 for it rn. just junk like that

^ also gets sticker anxiety.. if it's the same type anyway. is this a universal thing
> i want frozen yogurt
v have you done anything exciting lately, or plan to?

[sugarbird]

I mean, yeah. I can do that and have done it many times. But it's a lot easier to just buy food. I almost always make my own cookies though

> Being sick in bed rocks I get a three day weekend
v Favorite candy? If you don't like candy, what's your favorite fruit?

[Guest]

i have two! i love ringpops, specifically strawberry and blue raspberry, but i like them all.
i also like bottlecaps! i haven't had them in so long, though. but god do i crave them

^ three day weekend sounds awesome- but i hope you aren't feeling too bad!!
> working on personal finance while playing valorant,, imma get nothing done
v what's your favorite video game? do you have a favorite memory/specific emotion attached with it?

[darling feathers]

okay, i have a few favorite games! my top 2 are both life-sim
type games because they're really nice & relaxing, my other
favorite is not life-sim though:

- animal crossing (specifically city folk & new leaf)
- stardew valley
- the 1998 spyro the dragon (as well as the remastered version!)
for spyro + animal crossing, both of these games have deep
nostalgic ties for me. i have many happy memories of playing
spyro with my dad as a kid, as well as around a year ago,
replaying it while he watched me :') probably one of the few
interests that my dad & i share so i really cherish it! for
animal crossing, i've been playing it since i was in elementary
school, so it brings me back to that state of my life where i
had very little to worry/stress about. i frequently find myself
listening to city folk soundtracks (+ other ac soundtracks) even
now to get through my school & they are just so nostalgic!
for stardew valley, i didn't start playing it until last year, but it
is honestly one of my favorite ways to pass the time. it's just so
peaceful & fun to explore. i appreciate that it doesn't have a
strict storyline to follow & that you can kind of do whatever! i
also really respect the creator, concerned ape, because he has
basically created the game by himself & that is so impressive

thank you for letting me write about all this lol >;3

^ you might not get something done but at least you're
having fun haha >:)
> MY PHILOSOPHY PROFESSOR JUST PERSONALLY EMAILED
ME TO TELL ME THAT I DID REALLY WELL ON MY PAPER OMG
I AM INTERNALLY SCREAMING RIGHT NOW
V do you have any good news to share that you heard recently?

[cainhurst]

for personal good news, not really, my apologies! you made me google "good news" though and i found this, which is really nice news imo



For a second time, the nonprofit Save the Redwoods League has orchestrated a donation of coastal redwood forestland to the InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council to permanently protect trees on the Lost Coast in Mendocino County, California.

The League purchased the 523-acre property, formerly known as Andersonia West, in 2020. To ensure its lasting protection, the conservation group transferred ownership to the Sinkyone Council, which then granted the League a conservation easement.

Through the partnership, the Sinkyone people resume guardianship of a land they lived on generations ago, before European settlers moved in—and the forest will again be known as Tc’ih-Léh-Dûñ (pronounced tsih-ih-LEY-duhn), meaning “Fish Run Place”

^ yo that's awesome, congrats! philosophy is such an interesting topic of study too
> i am once again asking for the matrix to glitch when i go to sleep tonight so i can wake up a sexy nobleman stricken by the oh so very unsexy affliction of vampirism in their beautiful gothic revival style estate tomorrow. is that really too much to ask for?
v what does your bed look like? size, frame, bedsheets, blankets, pillows, plushies, etc.

[grey matter]

twin bed, adorned with a husband pillow (like, the back support things), either some red/black/white bedding or some star wars bedding, two delightful pillows, and The Bed Squad, consisting of a bootleg Spamton plushie aka Spamton Jr., Batter, a weighted red dragon plushie, a Baikinman plushie, and Baby, a sock... creature... thing. It's right next to both of my windows and a little side table.

^ I hope it isn't too much to ask, that sounds like a delight.
> Ah, if the matrix glitched me out, I'm not sure what I'd want. I'm rather contented at the moment. / Shuffling my mega-playlist in an attempt to find inspiration.
v How do you get inspiration?

[vi‎ ‎]

sometimes there's a dynamic between two characters that i want to convey, so i just pick up my ipad/my journal and draw. i listen to music, i watch tv shows/movies, i talk to my friends, and i look at art/poetry that i like!
^ your comment about the matrix was funny lol. also i hope you find some inspiration!
> i was thumbnailing for a dtiys that i want to join. i hope i have enough time to complete it and have fun!
v hi! what's on your mind?
