Have you ever collected anything?

[Tarunyada]

Yes, tons of different collections (and I still do). My favourite stuff to collect are animal figurines and everything from SPIRIT: Stallion of the Cimarron.

If you could have any pet in real life, what would it be?

[copper1123lol]

I would love to have a mini pig! They're just so cute.

What is one country you would love to visit some day?

[Oragami_Cyclone]

Iceland or Japan! Iceland is beautiful and very different while Japan has so much culture to experience!

If you could be fluent in one language you aren't right now what would it be?

[yharnam boy]

latin, i love latin. i had it in school and still can roughly understand a few basic things, but i'm very far from "fluent"

what book has influenced you the most?

[cainhurst]

hm... can't say i really have any book that has majorly influenced my life in some way. if i make it more about what influenced me to write and what sometimes gets reflected in my writing style... when i was very young, warrior cats was a huge source of inspiration for me, but i haven't picked up a warrior cats book in... over a decade? also, german children's books by michael ende, which i will still pick up once in a while to this day. nowadays, i tend to lean more into the style and vibes of the picture of dorian gray by oscar wild, good omens by neil gaiman & terry pratchett, and the complete fiction of h. p. lovecraft. not necessarily easy reads nor life-altering in any way, but they're a great source of familiarity and comfort, as well as inspiration to me nonetheless. still hoping to find that one book that will completely change my view of life someday, or teach me something super valuable i never thought about before, but until then,,, that's the best answer i can give tbh. honourable mention to i'm glad my mom died by jennette mccurdy though. i'm currently reading that one and it,,, helps a bit in my current situation to read about someone who feels a lot like me about some things

what would you do with your extra time if the internet wasn't around? do you think you'd do better or worse without the internet?

[breadstick]

i don't think i can answer this straightforwardly myself, because i think the internet has done me both great personal harm and good, but in terms of the general world it's becoming apparent the internet is just ... too heavy a bad influence on too many people. for me, it's caused me trauma that wouldn't have happened if it didn't exist, but i have also met so many people online who i treasure so dearly, and it helps me immensely to have contact with people so frequently on messaging apps. i wouldn't've found as many like-minded friends as i have today - so ultimately i'd say it's benefitted me overall, but the amount of negative information pumped into us from every direction is just ... so overwhelming lmao. but it has also given me an escape from personal things in my life i wouldn't have had otherwise, so - it is just a win/loss/win situation. but if i didn't have it? i'd read a whole lot more lol. it's what i did when i wasn't as tied to my phone as i am now, so i have no doubt i'd spend all my time reading or doodling.

is there anything on your windowsill? (plants/figures/ornaments for example)? tell me about them!

[viles]

• there's empty cans and bottles, mostly sparkling water cans with a few plastic water bottles. i also have a deck of pokemon cards in the plastic container they came in. i try to keep my windowsill clear for my cat. anything i put up there usually gets knocked to the floor in the process of him climbing up there.
  also, before i fall asleep, i put my glasses in my windowsill, as i don't have a proper nightstand. this has caused me to replicate velma and crawl on the floor looking for my glasses multiple times, but c'est la vie.
  
  i don't have anything meaningful to ask, so i shall instead use someone else's question which i wished i had answered:
  

  if you could only carry one thing in your pockets at all times, what would it be?

[cainhurst]

i mean,,,, logically i'd have to say my keys because i can't get back into my apartment otherwise hhhh though if the doors here can also be opened with a plastic card and some patience like the door at my parent's place, i'd probably go with my phone since it's the most useful thing. entertainment, getting directions, paying for stuff, checking the time, communicating, etc. i usually just stick stuff like my ID and credit card into my phone case so maybe i could cheat a little

what's an animal you don't like?

[DisneyLuv]

Raccoons! I can’t stand them.

What would you consider a wasted life?
