the <^> game | v. twenty-three

[Mortuary]

I like to think my taste is somewhat varied, but I do tend toward gothic rock and similar styles:) also love Qntal & Marc Almond's music

^ I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you feel well soon! Keeping a picture of your partner in your phone case is such a sweet idea:')
> Trying to draw on a tiny canvas is so difficult.. my usual brushes are Not working and I refuse to go with a standard smooth brush
v What's something you're looking forward to this year? / Do you like any animals that're a little weird or not often talked about?

[poindexter]

i like both of these questions im answering both oughhh.... honestly, not much planned this year! definitely some smaller things i plan to work towards though, i really wanna find ways to boost my confidence.

i think maybe these count cus i know so many people that are freaked out by them ?? i think spider monkeys are so silly..... i like the fun little fact that their hands lack a thumb so they work more like a hook when hanging on trees

^ so real actually... i NEEEED a giant canvas. doing sketches for pixel art is somewhat of a pain
> binging the observation duty games i have never been so focused
v how good are you at multitasking?

[Cosmonaught]

pretty good! i may be better than average because i get mad when people don't multitask

^ looked it up, it seems interesting! might give it a go :eyes:
> i adopted a leopard gecko today! their name is bramble and i swear theyre about as anxious as me. im giving them 2 weeks to settle in before i start with handling, i cant wait ^_^
v how do you name your cs pets? leave nameless, random names, or manually name?

[Resplendent]

I leave them nameless, unless they are a very valuable pet or have sentimental value (in that case I label them with the pet's official name [e.x. UR Holly Dog] or give them an actual name)
Example:

Pet's name: Shaggy 🕊️ (2009-2020)
(The titular pet in my orange cat hoard, started in honor of my late childhood cat after I told somebody his story and they gifted me a bunch of their orange cats. This cat looks exactly like my Shaggy)

^ Have fun with your new gecko! I would love to handle reptilian creatures someday but since I own cats I can't have reptiles personally.
> Welcome to year 4 of 2020
v Screw naming a single favorite color, what's your favorite color palette??

[cowboylikeme]

thats such a cool question but honestly idk!! ive always drifted more toward warm colors and like earth tones i suppose. i think brown, green, grey, and white look super nice together :p but red is my favorite color overall

^ the way you phrased that is so funny LOLL it genuinely does feel like the 4th 2020 in a row. but also the shaggy thing is so cute <3
> i am so sick right now but its manageable. i was also sick at the end of october and im realizing now that if THIS is just a cold then what i had back then definitely wasn't... it was probably the flu or even pneumonia. i was the most sick ive ever been. what i have now isn't bad at all just more annoying than anything. also why on earth does dayquil taste so vile?? i understand medicine isn't supposed to taste good but it shouldn't taste so bad that i can barely get it down
v did you do anything for new years eve?

[star star.]

got a dessert my mom wanted me to try & we hung out for an hour with my coworker while he was at work to give him company. wasn't that bad other than i was way too tired for most of it

^ ew yeah colds really suck & yeah!! like i know medication is supposed to be good for you but when it tastes awful it's just scum of the earth. i hope you feel better soon!
> i need to do laundry and the dishes (both eugh) but my cat is cuddling me (on my lap directly sandwiched between myself & my laptop the little rat (affectionate)) while i do things on my laptop so i'm vibing. i work second shift tomorrow anyway & just need to be up by 12:30p my time to shower. also finished an rp search thing on a dif site which!! yay excited i miss roleplaying so badly.
v what's something you like to do in your spare time?

[axes]

my favorite hobby is drawing + writing for me and my friends' characters. I just love seeing stories and characters develop, especially when I'm the one doing it :-)

^ roleplaying! thats nice. I kind of wish I was a roleplayer when I was younger. I think it's too late for me to start. I hope you have fun!
> pulled an all-nighter playing on a minecraft server with my younger sisters who live 200 miles away :-) it was nice calling them and getting to spend some time with them.
v what's a hobby you'd like to get into?

[brundlefly]

Not really sure. Maybe cooking?

^ yayyy that’s awesome! Glad u got to spend some time with ur family
> (to be read in an Edinburgh accent) choose life. choose a job. choose a career. choose a big television. choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers… etc etc
v a song you’ve been listening to a lot lately? For me it’s lust for a vampyr by i monster

[noch]

salad by blondshell because GOLLY GEE!!!!!!! great song

^ i enjoyed reading that thank you
> i am still sick. i probably have to go to the doctor today because its been a week (somehow)
v hi happy new year! do you have any new year's traditions?

[Spearow]

Our only tradition is I usually shoot a blank with the muzzleloader on midnight but I did not do that this year. My older brother is in visiting and he was being very insufferable I didn't want to be around him so I just went home. I felt bad and told my mom I was tired. I still feel bad, but I cannot be around my brother. He was angry that he didn't have what he wanted and was taking it out on everyone because none of us wanted to drive him to a store and he was already unable to drive. The next day I had dinner with my family but my niece and nephew were being so disrespectful to my good brother I got really irritated and went home early.

^ is also sick, and also has not gone to a doctor. I hate going i just accept the sickness lol
> it's been a really not great day
v did you get anything you wanted for christmas?
