[boyfail]

i will Always be able to rant about pokemon stuff lul... idk why but like... a very core memory for me is playing pokemon fire red on an emulator on my phone and getting a shiny sneasel OUT OF NOWHERE??? like it was a random encounter shiny without any cheats on. like the odds for that are 1/8192 and sneasel is a 5% encounter... still the most insane shiny ive ever gotten. BUT, there was another one that was like absolutely insane too. i got a shiny treecko after about 10 soft resets which is>>???? dayum. but i ended up loosing it because i didnt have pokemon bank and i restarted my omega ruby game :(((.

^ oooh thats so nice!! i bet they'll love ur giftbags :> anything that personal is always an amazing gift

[kae!!]

RAAAAAAHHHH LATEST FIXATION IS DND AGAIN !! i have such an itch to create and build and make things and i love the feeling of a world clicking together as i add more things :D

rn im working on some history/lore for an old tiefling village on the main city's outskirts. my favourite NPC so far is an incredibly, incredibly old cleric tiefling woman who has been alive so long, kept still in the darkness of a deep cave that her skin is deathly pale, almost translucent skin. you can see her heart pumping the strange blue/grey blood around her body. she is a prophet for the party :D im so excited to show her off aaahh !!

im also planning out a satyr village that is built over the sleeping body of a homebrewed deity, the Everseer, patron deity of the elderflower range and it's life (elderflower range is the mountains she creates/the satyr live on) so that should be fun


^AMEN stardew mods my beloved <3
> WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO im having fun idk what else to say :D
v how are you !! infodump in this house pls i love reading it

[skyline]

good!! pretty much anyway. i have a lotta work to do in the new few days
you're really giving me an excuse to be annoying here. i can't even make any of this make sense because it doesn't
this was also initially in response to nicky's question but thank u for keeping it going i spent way too long writing this out

funny little anti pope in corpse paint dances around in his silly little outfits and sings his silly little songs, and has what we have all collectively agreed are demons that play instruments with him. the lore is so damn stupid and makes zero sense but it's so great. it slowly got less and less serious as the years went on. i am going to try and sum it up the best i can in like, something that isn't like three harry potter books wide.
there's this guy named nihil right? he's apparently like the first anti pope in this anti church. he has like 3 sons, all 3 sons have fronted the band at some point. so did nihil, but not since the 60s. (they are all played by the same dude in a mask but it's not important cuz it's not canon in the lore) the 3 sons are then killed by the actual leader of the church which is this lady named sister imperator. nihil is like madly love with this lady, so much so he didn't even care that she was the reason his sons died. but after all the sons were killed it is revealed sister has this son, named copia, who doesn't know he's her son, and he has just apparently been a cardinal in the anti church for years and then starts fronting the band. u can clearly tell she favors him for obvious reasons. nobody knows why she hides being his mother from him, and the funniest thing is nihil could be his father, he obviously wouldn't know and doesn't like copia. he originally wasn't considered an actual anti pope but now he is and now everyone's worried he'll die at the end of this year because no papa has ever really lasted over 2 years. except for copia, but he wasn't papa until like 2020 and there was a huge time gap bc of covid bc no concerts which are a huge thing for the lore but um. yeah. i don't know why this is what my brain chose to fixate on but here we are. if you don’t have to try and make sense of your favorite thing is it really your favorite thing.


^ YEAHHHH SICK!!! keep having fun
> i burnt the roof of my mouth on the spaghetti and meatballs i heated up. i'm also on that senile sleep schedule bc i stayed up all day yesterday and went to bed at like 8. i guess for now it's better than being nocturnal like i was for a week
v how are you doing compared to this time last year?

[Eia]

I think I might have had a cold around this time last year, so the fact that I'm not sick is great! I feel like I have a lot less work this year, but I'm even more worried about it now than ever before.

^ Oh, that's awful. I once burnt my tongue while drinking hot water. It turned white and my mouth was scratchy for days. Hopefully yours isn't that bad though! Sleep schedules are definitely something we all can improve on, though I'm glad you're getting some sleep!
> I'm finishing up an essay almost last minute. I feel like it isn't very good but I also simultaneously really like it. It was quite fun to write, though I wish I could spend more time on it to improve some things.
v Anything you'd like to talk about? Write as much as you'd like!

[emiistar]

aw this is such a cute question! atm i guess i just feel like discussing my day... the college i attend has half its classes in the downtown campus (we're in a major city) and half in the 'neighborhood' campus, where i live, and i took a PR class last quarter and liked it so much i ended up deciding to switch my major to that. this quarter i have the same prof but the class is at a different time (11:50, last year it was 1:30) but of course, i forgot that the times were different, so i was riding the train downtown at like 1:00 all set to get there "on time" but then i realized i missed the class completely :'( LMAO! luckily the prof is a sweetheart and didn't care but i felt so silly... since then i just went to a coffee shop and have been doing stuff for my sorority all afternoon, i got a leadership position this year so it's been nice to plan stuff for that :)

^ahhh i totally know that feeling! i feel the same about lots of my essays lol, it's so easy to just procrastinate them even when you really are interested in the subject matter... i bet yours is great though!
> kinda said everything on my mind above but also i'm drinking a really yum english breakfast tea latte and it's raining outside the coffee shop i'm in idk just a pleasant vibe, i love being an adult sometimes LOL
v same question as above!

[argoen]

I'm literally so stressed about transferring colleges in the spring ahdhdhsh. I'm very close to earning my Associates degree but I've managed to go 3 years without an advisor so I have no clue what I need to take to tick off my "elective" credits. I also have no idea how transferring works. My brain won't let me email them until I can figure out some of these on my own, I think it's also making a bigger deal out of it than it actually is. I'm very excited to be finished with it though, but still nervous because I probably won't get into the marine bio program at the nearby college. They're pretty selective and my grades aren't necessarily the best. So I might end up at a technical college for aquaculture? I have no clue. I think fish are awesome and I'd be happy to work with them in almost any way at this point.

^ That latte sounds lovely! I'm partial to a London Fog but I'll have to give that a try next time I'm out
> Having a sick day, hopefully I finish a book I started the other day
v It seems we are in a rambling mood on this thread! Tell me about something your passionate about :>

[Fawn_Pelt]

something im passionate about- i'd say fursuit making! i'm doing a commission right now and working on a personal project. both on dinomask bases since i'm not confident in my foam base fursuits yet. i plan soon to make a fullsuit of my fursona though! i'm very excited for that.

^i wish you the best of luck with your college! i hope you get the course and eventually the career you like >w<
> my tummy hurts TnT
v are you excited for anything as of late? a book release, a planned trip, etc?

[ILovePickles<3]

Defiant by Brandon Sanderson is coming out early 2023 and im so exited! I love the skyward series.

I’m so bored and I don’t want to go back to school on Thursday TnT
