The <^> Game | V.22

[cainhurst]

that the weather was the same everywhere, or that people just lived forever. in my defence, my parents never really taught me much of anything. they just kinda expected me to know things, i guess might explain my obsession with absorbing any and all knowledge now tbh. i learned about the fact that people actually die irl from a tv show for kids where the topic came up (i was like... 8 to 10 back then), and my mother just claimed i was lying and needed to stop being ridiculous when i came to her upset and asked if she knew that people died & that i myself didn't know about it up until that point ✌🏻

^ treat yourself,,,, i think i'm gonna make some coffee for myself now. good luck on the homework!
> i forgot the training session is today,,,, i don't wanna host this stupid thing, especially since they put my slot in for 6 PM,,,, like bro i start work at 7 AM,,,, people who plan long meetings/training sessions after 4 PM belong in jail /hj
v do you have a favourite pair of socks?

[emiistar]

i kinda do! i just recently bought a pair of fuzzy halloween socks that are like stripey with little ghosts on them... they're so comfy and cute, i can't help but love them lmao
^ eee i'm sorry, i hate having busy days like that! i hope you get/got through it ok (depending on your timezone hehe). i bet you'll do a great job hosting!
> had such a fun day with a friend but now i have to do classwork... 2 essays and a final paper by tomorrow, zzzzz
v what's something you've always wanted to do?

[LokiToons]

Animate a full short. I’ve always had so many ideas I want to bring to life but haven’t had the patience to sit down, or the skill level, to animate the way I imagine. Maybe some day, it seems like hard work but worth the time put in. I love watching animated shorts on YouTube and always wanted to see my own out there.

^ Sounds like a good mix of work and play, though that sounds like a stressful deadline to meet. Best of luck!

> Been in the mood for art things recently but have been stuck with a species project. Probably gonna get on art shop stuff anyway to get my groove back. Cartoons sound so fun to do again.

v What kind of aesthetic would you say you give off? If someone didn’t know you, what’s the immediate vibe you think you communicate?

[st. serpent]

ig it depends. if i'm not working, i'd probably give off just a v minimalist
monochrome "aesthetic" just bc i wear a lot of plain black semiformal attire

if i'm working i wear darker suits almost all the time and so ppl would immediately
get the idea that i'm a lawyer lmao. so ig the vibe i give is someone who works in
the legal field, if that even constitutes a "vibe" that is lol

^ a cartoonist!! ppl who's rlly into the art world fascinate me so much i think yall
^ are rlly cool like i could never
> i got a new house plant :)) i'm so excited for him to arrive
v what's smth that you could talk about for hours?

[sugarbird]

I could honestly talk about theoretical disgusting foods for hours. It's amazing fun trying to figure out what the worst combo of foodstuffs could be. Baked beans with anchovies, cream cheese stuffed in sausage casing, steak in a bowl of milk with jellybeans, etc. As an example, I love bringing up hypotheticals and asking my family "what would you rather eat if you're starving in a desert? Rare porkchops doused in spoiled curdled milk, or sashimi mixed with boston cream donut filling?" I would go on forever if it didn't make people too sick. I think I enjoy it so much because it's both infuriating that these things are such wastes of good food, and outrageously funny. I love seeing the excitement and disgust on people's face whenever I ask them. But, I think I'm always the one who has the most fun in those conversations

^ Aww, nice. It's always cool to have a plant to take care of
> FINALLY, IT IS OVER. It almost doesn't feel real that I'm a legal driver now. That test was pretty big weight on my shoulders for a while
v has there been any song that got stuck in your head for days or weeks at a time?

[cainhurst]

my brain pretty much cycles through songs every few days/weeks, yeah. right now my mind often starts playing own me by bülow when i'm not thinking of anything else - probably because it's the song i used while coding a toyhouse profile for the cyberpunk AU version of one of my characters

^ congrats!! now you can just take your car for a spin whenever you feel like it <3 or go grocery shopping. or commit insurance fraud by setting your car on fire. the possibilities are truly endless!
> me, referring to one of my cyberpunk NPCs as "corporate bastard" while i am indeed a "corporate bastard" myself: i may be a hypocrite, but- *starts drinking from a comically large coffee cup for the next 5 minutes to avoid having to finish the sentence*
v are there any memes or such that you find yourself quoting a lot?

[tea rose]

there's this one video where someone edited dr k to look like he's having an argument with himself and it's hilarious. i always find myself reciting the video in my head as i go about my day like "it sounds like you're just a loser " "...huh?" "a loser and a failure " "what do you mean by those words?" "there is something inherently wrong with you."

^ sometimes being a hypocrite is self care
> someone posted a clip from that phineas and ferb episode where doofenshmirtz and perry the platypus are working out together, and they both have workout headbands on right? well i missaw and thought someone edited the lesbian flag onto perry's headband, and the SPEED as to which i just went "oh, i guess perry's a lesbian. okay" tells me i need to get off tumblr
v repeating the question above!

[sledo]

i often find myself repeating whatever tiktok audios have been rotting my brain but lately i think it's been a lot of oprah winfrey saying "were you silent? or were you silenced?"

^ on the contrary, i would argue perry is gay because my friend and his boyfriend were hot perry and dr doof for halloween
> i've been brainstorming final creative project ideas for my harry potter class at university (yes it is a thing) and i think i might either make a bunch of little hats and socks like hermione does for the house elves or make a shoebox model of the boggart scene IDK i need to pick something soon though bc i'm starting to run out of time
v do you prefer fruity candies or chocolate candies?

[otori]

depends a lot on my mood if im being honest, sometimes im really craving chocolate other times i rly want something sweet, but i'd say i generally prefer chocolate. absolutely love hershey's kisses man.

^ good luck with your project! that class sounds super fun lol. the shoebox model sounds cool, i remember making those for projecs in the past. i hope you're able to come up with something that's fun to work on!
> me, staring at the most god awful schedule known to man: at least i got all the classes i wanted!
v if a zombie apocalypse were to occur right now, what would you say your chances of survival are?

[nyctophilia]

2% chance. Like milk.

^ The bright side! Good luck
> Day 5 of wanting to go to the bookstore and not going to the bookstore 😎
v Do you have a dream car?
