the <^> game | v. twenty-three

[viles]

• i'm okay. reading through my posts on here. i haven't gotten to the older ones yet. even just looking at the ones from this month can bring back things i have forgotten skfjhsk (poor memory gang :fist: :pensive:)
  no, i would not describe myself in that way. i sleep quite a bit. my sleep schedule is Weird so sometimes that results in me not sleeping for long periods of time, but such an occurrence is rare.
  
  ^ studying since they fell asleep earlier. oh damn :eyes: i hope your studying (and whatever it is you're studying for) goes well!
  hmmm i'm not sure if i have a funny story to tell (/mostly srs) i usually lie when i'm telling stories because the things that have actually happened to me are not very interesting. i figure no one cares anyway, so what's the harm? (jk it eats me up inside a little bit bc i cannot handle even telling lies that affect no one kjsfhksh)
  BUT that's not a Fun Answer so instead i will tell you about a moment that made me chuckle. i was changing up my discord profile bc i do that a lot and i made this image of a cat my avatar:
  
  (fact! (i was gonna call it a fun fact but idk if it's fun or not): this image is also my listography avatar bc i thought it was humorous to have my listography name be 'a person' but then my avatar is just cat in a suit skfhskh)
  and i change my username to 'modern au skyrim khajiit' bc like, that is the Flavor i got from this image ykyk? like if you look at that image and think of anything else, you and i are not looking at the same picture /j
  HMMMMM wait i changed my mind i don't want to tell that story but i enjoyed talking about modern au skyrim khajiit so im going to leave that in bc i can. here's the real answer to your question:
  okay i'm ten years old i'm at the local duplex, the science fiction matinee at two (/lyr) or thereabouts. my family and i went to the park to feed some ducks. we had a loaf of bread that was about to go bad, i think (WHICH I THINK BREAD IS BAD FOR DUCKS DON'T GIVE IT TO THEM PLS MY FAMILY DIDNT KNOW ANY BETTER BUT PLS DONT GIVE IT TO THEM,, like idk i think the concern is malnutrition and like,, it's fine in Extreme Moderation but still there are better snacks for the quacky friends!!! this has been a public service announcement) unfortunately for us, there was no ducks at the park that day BUT there were a pack of geese. now, idk if you know this, but geese are like,, kinda mean?? like they can be pretty aggressive and attack people, which is why i have a hard time laughing at jess getting attacked by a swan on gilmore girls bc like yes maybe it does sound like a little Wild but at the same time it's a Real Issue that can happen and i wish it wasn't made into a Laughing Matter. ANYWAY, so yeah, my younger self did not know this crucial piece of information about geese, so i took the bread over and was about to start feeding them. there was this one goose who walked a bit close to me and then like,, made this weird honking sound, right? but i thought they were just excited for the bread KHSFKJH so i got closer until i realized, 'oh no. this goose is mad at me!!!!' but by then it was too late,, the goose was already like in Fight Mode,, and when i tell you this thing CHARGED at me,, it came at me like a bull at a matador yk what i'm saying,, and young shrimpy,, he's just like wide-eyed,,, luckily, i somehow managed to do SOMETHING and that was take off screaming as loud as i could. i ran around the park for a bit, just kinda running in circles bc i didn't know where else to go, until my dad came up to me and like,,, grabbed me by the shoulders and was like,, 'what's wrong?!?!?!?!?' and uh yeah i told him about the goose. and this man,, he started laughing at me!!!! it turned out that the goose had stopped chasing me like,, ig a few seconds after i ran away, so literally all my family saw was me running around and screaming my head off for No Reason:tm: so yeah KSJDFHKJSHF
  almost all of this story was a lie (EXCEPT FOR THE PSA ABOUT FEEDING BREAD TO DUCKS DONT DO IT I BEG OF YOU) but i hope it amused you just the same~

  v what's on your mind?

[ZeXaL]

Tired and not feeling super well mentally, but I'm hanging in there. Prob gonna go to bed soon or play some more Kirby

^ I hope you get to play those games soon, Hollow Knight is fireeeee
> Tonight's just one of those nights
v What are you going to do for Christmas this year?

[strawbrymoon]

This year I'm staying at home, the roads are icy anyways, and I'm making cookies, a yule log, and lasagna (2 versions... and a mac and cheese for my sister because shes picky!)... then just opening presents and sgjsgj not much different from other years! I'm still super excited though

^ I saw Tallest Purple in your sig and had to respond, I love Invader Zim too Ive been having a *second* resurgence phase for it, my last one was in early 2021? lasted for about a month where I watched invader zim and only invader zim whenever i could ... this time is less insane but I'm having fun :>
> I am hoping my work tomorrow is cancelled, i dont want to be in a car in this weather and i dont want to work! lol
v what was the last movie you watched, do you recommend it?

[dustnbones]

the good, the bad, and the ugly!

it's a wonderful classic film, and the trilogy is great even though I have yet to finish it. it's a really damn cool storyline and a sensation. I 10/10 recommend it, even for those who aren't into westerns, as the film has become a piece of american history itself (released in 1966!)

^I feel you. Sometimes I feel like a slave to the grind :,)
>saw my bf today and gave him a cool coat for Christmas. he loves it! we went to the fish market and bought some fun Asian import items, overall had a fun day
v a funny story of yours?

[marciplier]

setting the scene, im in my bedroom with my brother, im sitting on my bed playing some fnaf game, and hes on the floor playing some other game. i have my headphones on full volume and i got jumpscared. i did not expect it and i threw my mouse and screamed. lost my balance and fell of my bed. the mouse hit my brother in the head. i am dubbed a scardey cat and never live it down.

^ thats so awesome!!! fun days are the best super happy that he loved the coat
> speaking of fnaf. i bought a springtrap plush off ebay and im super excited for it to arrive :3 i got a vanny plush a few days ago and they will be Together. the vanny is so silly she looks like she eated a bee . will 100% be ordering the youtooz vanny plush and purple guy figure if i get some money for christmas
v what is your hope for next year? or a goal, if you have one?

[Chevalier]

To pass this uni year, lol. I don't have any specific goals really, though I'd like to improve in my art as well.
^ Bought some plushies, sounds very cute!
> My mother bought me a cowboy shirt. It's that blue shirt they always wear in RDR2 (at least I think so... I haven't played red dead in a long time) and honestly? I kind of love it.
v Is there anything you're hoping to receive for Christmas? If not, what's a gift you're excited to give?

[tifa]

well my mom has been hyping up something, so im excited for whatever that is. i bought them an electric blanket that fits their entire bed so im excited for them to get it in the mail

^ i love that feeling of getting a new shirt and now it’s all you want to wear. im glad you like it!
> i just ate some cupcakes
v what’s something super popular you just couldn’t get into after trying?

[pandaa]

sports, lol. I mean I never really tried them but the games we would play in pe never interested me whatsoever,, but no hate to those who like em, I get why but they’re just not for me
^ Oo yum,,
> gonna finish a Minecraft house and maybe build some more!! my body won’t let me actually get anything done cause of Christmas being in a few days hmph
v how do you motivate yourself when your struggling with motivation?

[The BadWolf]

it honestly depends on the kind of struggle. if i'm feeling down, i usually do things super gently; break my to-do list down into small tasks and focus on rewarding myself for getting small things done, whilst also creating a good work environment (e.g. candles and good music, or maybe going to a coffee shop and treating myself to a cake). If I'm feeling understimulated I try to do super upbeat things, cleaning, running some energy off - and if I'm feeling overstimulated, I again go gently. Usually once I start working I find it alright to push onwards, so, yeah!

^ The build up to christmas is so hard to get things done, but good choice with minecraft and chill!! Minecraft is so cosy. Also I adore your profile theme, the colours are beautiful.
> prepping my rabbit care sheet for my buddy to look after him whilst i'm home for the holidays and GOD im' gonna miss the stinky lil guy <33 also prepping to start painting christmas cards for my buddiessss
v is there anything you're looking forward to this holiday season?

[noch]

i just love the vibe of christmas and new years??? idk. just hanging out with my family is really fun cause we just get to catch up with each other n laugh. :D

^ awww that's so sweet!! it seems like you really put a lot of energy and effort into the lil guy :]
> the blizzard that just hit is keeping everyone indoors today!! which means i had no excuse but the clean up my whole room. it feels a lot nicer in here now :D
v do you prefer fruit-sweet or chocolate-sweet for desserts?
