[Starryfox]

I am still sick, but it's been an above average day!! When it was sunny I was hanging outside with my epic cat, and there's a huge thunder storm right now, pouring down with rain, very loud thunder and my brothers and I are counting down and cheering when we see lightning, so fun! :D
^ YEAHHH (early) CONGRATS ON GRADUATING, THATS SO EPIC!!! VERY, VERY HAPPY FOR YOU!!
> I'm loving this storm and hanging with the siblings [:
v What's your favourite weather?? <:

[nyctophilia]

Warm with a refreshing breeze so you don't sweat, sunny and blue skies

^ I love storms too! Especially for napping
> Played Villainous with my cousins... it's 1 am and I just got home... that game truly is villainous for how long it took. But we had a lot of fun, and even played hide n seek lol. I can't remember the last time I played hide n seek. It felt good to have fun like kids again
v What's your irl aesthetic like and how does it compare to the aesthetic you present online?

[argoen]

Storms 100%. I feel like I'm more productive if I don't have a reason to go outside, plus the rain is good for the area I live in. I also love the snow. The silence it brings is top tier and I like to safely drift about in it. There's a parking lot where my dad taught me how to do donuts close to my home so I like to head up there and wreak havoc.

Grunge lumberjack lol. I almost exclusively wear flannels and I don't think that comes across online? I'm a massive dork though and love the ocean so I think I'm consistent enough on that front.

^ Hide and seek with my cousins has got to be the highlight of my childhood. I remember my younger cousin bolting through my grandmother's screen door so she wouldn't lose. Still makes me giggle imagining the 5' tall hole left in the screen.
> Drove for about 5 hours straight today. Had to go to the coast and back to get a gift for my mom, at least I had my brother with me! Feel like I've got sea legs though.
v What's the longest you've been in a car for?

[viles]

• better after sleeping. i got some Actual Food and it was such a relief to have something substantial to eat,, i'm hoping the fridge will get fixed soon, but it's probably going to be until after christmas before we can get it taken care of. it's frustrating but :shrug: what can you do when you like in a shoe?
  
  ^ OOH i feel that i haven't worn a headband in so long but i have memories of being forced to wear painful headbands to keep my bangs out of my face. my mom always made me wear the sharp plastic ones, too. i hope you're able to take off the headband soon :eyes:
  snow. however, my area hasn't gotten a big snow in quite some time. ACTUALLY WAIT NO think of like a chill autumn night with a slight breeze.
  
  ^ thunderstorms are so pretty~ they make me a bit anxious, but during them i almost always find myself staring out the window in hopes of seeing lightning. i'm glad you're enjoying the storm ^^
  i don't think i have an irl aesthetic. i'm just A Guy, yk what i mean? online, i either try to be Fancy:tm: and Put Together:tm: or something with similar vibes to a particularly unhinged and/or surreal meme, BUT idk even in my 'fanciness' there's a bit of chaos in the fact that i can never decide on one aesthetic which i like. basically, in all areas of my life, i am incredibly uncoordinated.
  
  ^ i too enjoy playing games with my cousins. at family get togethers, i almost always end up hanging out with the kids, because it's so much easier than trying to make conversation with my fellow adults.
  there was one trip where i had to be in the car for seventeen hours. i was incredibly young and i think i slept for most of it.
  
  ^ drove five hours to the coast to get a present for their mom. whoa!!! that's awhile :eyes: i hope your mom will like the gift you got :>
  > pudge has decided his new favorite toy is a carrot. i wasn't going to let him play with one but he kept trying to steal them off of my plate. he's now swatting it around my room, and i've had to fetch it for him multiple times because he keeps knocking it underneath my bed where he can't reach. when he's bored of it, i'm going to feed it to my rat, marty, so it won't go to waste. // family christmas event is happening tonight, but i've decided i'm not going to go. i love being able to choose whether or not i attend these sorts of things. before, i would've just had to suffer through the awkwardness where everyone hates my sibling's spouse but no one will just say so. now, though, i can simply skip it altogether. then, there's the added bonus of not having to talk to my extended family members.
  v what's on your mind?

[Gristle]

I got hacked today on a game tgat Id been on for over 10 years, not sure how or why it happened but took away everything I had on it. I’m not really as upset as I thought I’d be in that situation but it’s still been on my mind alot. It was always my way of escapism especially when I was younger from not being in great situations and one of the few things in my life I had only genuine positive associations with as sad as that sounds, and someone was able to just completely undo all my progress for personal gain even if it was just virtual stuff. Weird too because I kept getting this urge to change my password the days before it happened but never got around to it, always listen to tgat little voice haha I’ve made that mistake of not too many times

^ Good times with the carrot, hope your rat enjoys it too
> Just went out and had a burger it was good ..
v Is there anything you’re hoping to achieve in the next year?

[gam]

i would really like to get my own place and strike off on my own a bit more next year. i really love my family and living with them but i'd also like to show them they don't need to worry about me, that i can support myself and branch out. it's just hard right now, rent prices are...... a monstrosity.

^ i am so sorry friend :< that's really awful that someone would do that. what do you even gain from that really. i totally relate to what you were saying about using websites/games as a means to escape tough times when you were younger. that was CS for me! i hope you can still enjoy your game and your memories with it <3
> gonna be soooo snowy tomorrow. i'm excited to sleep in and watch it fall~ almost done with this silly project for work, then i can relax and enjoy the holidays!
v tell me about the most thrilling, adrenaline-pumping experience you've had!

[lapfox]

such a basic response, but i went on this ride. i only started going on big rollercoasters this year and holy crap this one was by far the BEST.. since youre laying on your stomach it feels like you are flying over the whole park.

^ aghh youre so lucky, i love the snow - californian
> now i want to go back to six flags ..
v how can you describe your rooms aesthetic?

[boyfail]

my room is a little all over the place, but it looks like 5 different fandoms threw up on an emo kids room ^^; the walls are purple except for the back wall (which is black), and i have both a conan gray poster from his tour in my area and a bts poster even tho i only listened to them for like at most 2 weeks >_< then some fnaf stuff and 2 anime figurines i bought impulsively at a con with my friend (very hectic)

^ omg ... ive been fiending for another trip to busch gardens or universal ever since my last trip there like 7 months ago and 5 years ago respectively. rollercoasters make me feel like im gonna die horrifically but in a goood way y'know what i mean lol
> me and my parents r celebrating yule this year and for the first day i got miitopia and a switch pokemon controller :> i can't wait to see what else i get tbh
v what's a character you relate to and why?

[Dlrt]

oooh that's kind of a hard one, purely because of how many characters i have that i relate to. i'll go with blitz from helluva boss and his relationship issues. for me, it's less so romantic and just generally any relationships, but having a character who actively struggles to keep people close to him because he's scared to get hurt again, while actively craving affection just... hits wayy too close to home for me lmao. i always appreciate when a character with abandonment issues is shown in a more realistic light, because sometimes those issues can be a struggle to deal with and get through, especially when you're doing it alone.

^ i hope you get/got some things you're happy with !! also hello, another mysme enjoyer i see 👀
> powering through with like 5 hours of sleep for the 3rd time this week. no clue why, but my sleep has been really bad lately. i plan to just take it easy today and play genshin and some stardew valley
v what are some "childish" activities you enjoy partaking in ? do people ever tell you you're too old for them ??
