  ^ doing alright.
  > nihil novi sub sole.
  v show me an image you like.

[Chevalier]

The image can be enjoyed with and without the Hollow Knight reference.
^ Good to see the new profile theme, the purple crab is very cute however the profile picture is horrifying....Are you a shrimp or a crab?
> My friend has moved from Europe to Asia for some months and now our time differences are quite far apart (9hrs) :') Hopefully we'll still have time to play stuff in my evening. They're enjoying themselves a lot so far though, and it sounds really fun!
v Do you have a favourite passage from a favourite book?

[trilli]

I like the passage, but it’s not a favorite book. It is here. It’s from Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.

^ Keep on updating your art thread because it gives me a reason to visit the forums beyond the games.
> I am confused.
v When was the last time you laughed?

[cainhurst]

monday/yesterday. if you mean a genuine laugh rather than one of those "appropriate human response to a social situation" laughs, it was on sunday

^ heart of darkness,,,, *takes a long drag of a cigarette and dramatically stares off into the night sky, exhaling* .... haven't heard that name in years // anyway being confused is a very human experience but also i hope you feel a little less confused soon
> i kinda wanna commision someone to turn my guinea pigs into humans so i can make them into proper characters,,,, pondered over what i imagine they'd look like as humans a little too long, now i can't stop thinking about it. bear is in his late 30's with a dad bod. crow is bear's adopted teenage goth son whom he doesn't always understand, but tries to love regardless. fox is the long-haired pretty son of a rich CEO and goose is his very grumbly body guard and lover who is only soft around fox (sometimes). just need to figure out moose's and lion's vibes...
v if you have a pet/pets, what do you think they'd be like as a human (looks, personality, job, etc.)?

[pandaa]

I drew one of my dogs once but I don’t have the photo of it sadly, :,) but she had glasses and bangs, and pretty much just looked like a human twilight despite having the opposite personality as her lol, and I think my other dog would wear like hoodies, and beanies like skater clothes despite him obviously not skating lol ,, but the picture I have in my head of both of them is kind of like bickering siblings who love eachother despite how much they fight!! sorta like ones the uptight and studious sibling and the other is the slacker laidbaid sibling!!! I think thats kinda sweet lol
^oh my god all of those descriptions sound so adorable aaaaa I especially love the dynamic between goose and fox!! those names too AA <3
> had a little dinner, time to blast bad romance on repeat 😎 and write some mroe!! currently in the middle of a one shot for some of my hero/villain characters!!!
v what is your favorite book trope for read/write?

[Kayara]

Anything slow burn. Kinda. Not the uhh 😬 ya know,, like pride and prejudice, that kind of thing nothing weird. Fun to read and write. The little clues and stuff even if it’s obvious and even better if it’s not leading to anything instant. I want 20 chapters of :eyes: then an instant of soul deep recognition that somebody is more important to them then they had originally surmised, followed by the five stages of grief starting with denial (nah that’s not what just happened ajdbfbbdjs what- what d’you mean??) bc grief is just love inverted. Ya feel?? Yeah

^niice i love that for you mate
>I went to da library today. Had a little study moment, productivity, hello we know her. Good day.
v what do you have the most pictures of? For me, hands down my cat or at least various animals

[coffin]

my baby cat very cute Him hes stupid and i like to tell him nobody loves him in the sweetest voices to keep his ego in check via vibe transmissions because he does not understand english [its a lie i love him But you cant tell him that]

^ library productivity day hoo ray good job thats awesome yaay yay
> Ou hello chickensmoothie it has been a month . Um i have an unopened pm and i dont remember what it is helpme UHM. thats so awkward Sorry to whoever that is so sorry. i started 2nd term of college today and my teacher cancelled the first class so i went to campus for no reason and also two of my bestie esties and i finally saved up enough money to hang out irl so thats what ive been doing thats my life update
v BORING QUESTION. MAYBE but we are 9 days into 2023. how has it been treating you so far? what's the coolest thing you've done since this year started :]

[Chevalier]

A boring response: Fine. The most interesting thing that's happened to me is I found ready made beans and cheese wraps in Lidl's can you can heat in the oven - I've never seen them before and thought you could only get those kinds of things at Gregg's. Apart from that I've just been going to uni, doing assignments, and doing hobbies.
^ Very annoying to hear your class was cancelled at the last minute (happened to me the class before Christmas break, too...) but time with your friends sounds great! I assume they're long distance/internet friends so it's always nice when you get to meet up with them.
> Going out with a friend this evening, so that's quite nice. We didn't get to see each other before Christmas break, so we'll have a chance to catch up about things (i.e. I get to complain a lot, lovely!)
v I think this is interesting, so I'm going to yoink cainhurst's question from above: if you have a pet/pets, what do you think they'd be like as a human (looks, personality, job, etc.)?

[boyfail]

i think my cat would probably look like the nervous villain in a big suit stereotype ... iykwim :] and black hair / green eyes very skinny like he is irl

^ooooh im happy for you !!
> havent been on here in a lil, been chatting on discord instead of cs but the discords kinda slow rn so here i am :]
v whats a character you relate to and why?

[yves]

i swear always get this question every time i check this thread but i'm not complaining lmao, celia st. james from the seven husbands of evelyn hugo. i'm not sure if i can explain it in any eligible, but a lot of it revolves around her being a lesbian and her relationship with her lesbianism.

^ in the cs discord (i presume?), i joined it a little over a year ago but big busy servers overwhelm me a little oof
> found out tove jansson was at the very least queer in some capacity and had at least two relationships with women????? hello???? oxfam clearly left this out when the manager was talking to me about her & moomin.
v what's something new you found out recently? whether it's a general fact or about yourself, or someone else.
