the <^> game | v. twenty-three

[Guzma]

Writing essays I guess? Like writing just to write is fine and all (in fact, I wish I could do it more often) but the minute I have to do it for school I hate it. However, every essay I've ever turned in have all gotten really high passing grades. One thing I'm always gonna remember is my AP Lang and Comp teacher telling all of us that we can't write an essay at the last minute and expect to get a good grade. Jokes on him tho cause all those essays I turned in were written the night before and they were all near perfect scores lol.

^ God speed and those recording assignments o7 I had to deal with a few last year and hope to never do them again.
> I long for the day where I never have to be in a math (or math adjacent) class ever again. Like I'm just about ready to ditch the marine biology degree and walk straight into the sea.
v Got any obscure fun facts about anything?

[pandaa]

uh, hmmm
Oo I have one!! Pufferfish, unless prepared perfectly, is toxic for eating!! They have a toxin called tetrodotoxin, which in even very small dose can kill humans very easily by practically paralyzing them! it’s not really a “fun” fact though lol-
^ omg me too, I hate math with such a violent passion grrraaah,, also ur sig is so cool,, Dabi!!
> my throat feels like ground beef aaaæ and I almost fully have lost my voice I’m melting but I have to go to school tomorrow for a test aaa
v how are you feeling? tell me as much or as little as your comfy with

[tea rose]

tbh i haven't been doing great lately but that's probably because the sun is setting at 5pm lol, so i'm not too worried

^ i have never heard anyone describe their throat as ground beef before. but yeah relatable, i keep getting sore throats
> i reblogged a tiktok of people singing on tumblr and wrote tags where i basically like. assumed the people had written the song themselves and said i wished it was on spotify and someone @'d me and said it was a hozier song 😭😭😭 bro i live under a ROCK that was so embarrassing. but hey i have a new favorite song now
v would you say you're up to date with the news/what's popular/etc? or do you just kind of do your own thing?

[emiistar]

kinda, i try to but in my own way if that makes sense? like i'll focus on what's popular within my interests or the scope of what i like. like y2k fashion is popular right now and i follow that closely because i really love it, but i don't stay on trend with whatever pop songs or country songs for example are popular; i just stay involved with whatever's popular in the indie genre or whatever hahaha. so kinda i guess!

^ noooo omg, glad you atleast got a good song out of it!! don't be too embarassed though, i have soo many moments like that i swear sometimes it's like everyone else just knows something i don't LOL :')
> i mentioned this on another thread but i had a panic attack the other night at a concert that i was really excited about and it just really bums me out... like not to vent but i really have loved this artist for years and drove a long time for the show and dressed up all cute, all that stuff, just to have stupid anxiety ruin it... and now it's like the memory is tarnished and i feel guilty for some reason, like i disappointed everyone there? idk, it's so stupid and irrational but i really love the artist and just wish i could've had fun like normal instead of being in fight or flight the whole time :(((
v do you have anxiety?

[trilli]

Do you mean an anxiety disorder, or? I would describe my general mood and expression as "neutral." I used to have pretty bad anxiety when it came to interacting with others in certain settings, and I had to contend with it for a long time, but most of it kind of just... went away. The more I actually engaged with what I was afraid of, the less of a problem it ultimately was. A whole lot of the feelings I had when I was younger aren't worth the time, effort or energy nowadays. I dislike interacting with others offline most of the time, but it isn't usually because I am anxious over the interaction anymore; it's more of a disinterest in why they are even interacting with me to begin with. LOL. I haven't been diagnosed with anything either, so I couldn't say much in that area. All in all, I think my answer to your question should be that I do not have anxiety, or that I do not have a diagnosed anxiety disorder.

^ That sounds like a bad deal. Is there anything in the near future that you can look forward to? I get it though, sometimes you gotta let it out. That's it.
> I owe someone money.
v How would you sum up your experience on CS? Have you ever quit and come back? Do you still collect pets?

[Guzma]

Relatively okay. There was a period of time where I had sorta quit after... Some not great stuff happened. But I usually show up around the holidays and as of late have tried to make it a habit to check in at least once a month. Usually in the times I would come back I would always find a PM waiting for me from an old friend of mine that I made on here which I guess was my only reason for ever coming back. In terms of collecting pets, yeah I still do maybe not to the degree of "Gotta catch 'em all" but I've recently set some goals for myself to keep interest with the site.

^ 10 more days until your CS anniversary.
> Hands are cold and I've been working on a thing for math almost all day. Hope we can get the heater running here so I don't freeze overnight...
v Do you prefer the colder seasons or the warmer ones?

[shadowplay]

Cold, I’m from a region in Canada where our summers get unbearably hot, and houses up here are built to trap heat inside so it’s Not Fun. Plus I have so many cool jackets to wear when it gets cold

^I hope your heater works
>Yesterday while out driving I found an abandoned barn and explored it, found some hay in the loft which made me question whether or not it was actually abandoned
v Favourite YouTube video?

[boyfail]

hmmmm idk if i actually have one certain favorite youtube video ... i just watch really anything that my fave creators post. but 2 series i tend to come back to are the oblivion and signal simulator playthroughs by vinesauce joel ^^

^ damn that actually kinda sounds like some kind of horror movie lol... honestly could've posted that to 2 sentence horror on reddit.
> kind of feeling good about how my art looks for the first time in months lol.. maybe ill start coms again.
v describe your favorite oc ^^

[skyline]

tbh. i don't have any atm, but my brain is starting to conceptualize a ghoul oc/sona because as much as i love cirrus and cosplaying her, i also want to do that with one that's, me. yk. some basic stuff i know rn is she's a water ghoul, bc, i am a water sign, and she has short black hair, black horns w one having a gray tip, and idk what the tail looks like yet but we're working on that dkshfjs

^ u should! it could help build the confidence up even more. that's how i am with signatures, i have code block and then suddenly the next day i can make the sickest looking thing you've ever seen. that's kind of a lie actually i'm always a little insecure about my coding, but it rly depends ig
> so much. going on. i have to get my friend a christmas present tomorrow when we run to walmart, i wish i had time to actually make him something, but thankfully i know what he likes and he's easy to shop for. i have my other friend's gift but it's also his birthday on the 20th, so i kinda have to double up his 💀 to be completely honest i forgot about christmas gifts entirely until it processed to me what time of year it was. then my friend from ohio is coming down on january 6th and their birthday is the next day, so i think i'm gonna pay for tickets to the theme park i worked at in october, and it SUCKS because i have free vouchers that expire on the 31st. like could u not have lasted. another WEEK. anyway sorry for my rambling!! :)
v if you use tiktok what song trend annoyed you most. if not just tell me a random song u find annoying

[gam]

the "oh no oh no" song REALLLLYYY rubs me the wrong way. shocked and saddened that i still get videos using it on my fyp. immediate swipe up for me. omg.

^ they have a very busy but exciting month ahead! as someone with a birthday VERY close to christmas.... apologies 💀 we are the worst to shop for. promise it annoys us just as much. lolololol very cool horror aesthetic too <3
> not sure why exactly i've come back to this site at this point in my life, but i'm really finding comfort and warmth in it. the nostalgia is so strong
v are you a night owl or more of an early bird?
