the <^> game | v. twenty-three

[Memoria.]

Favorite food is really hard for me to answer. I like food too much. If I had to choose I would probably say Chicken Alfredo, however that could change at any moment.

^ You might've needed that sleep, however it is disappointing to sleep a portion of the day away. One thing I've heard a lot recently is that you can't catch up on sleep. It's easy to crash especially if you stay up for too long.
> I meant to get on The Sims 4 first thing when I woke up so I could finish my CAS legacy. I haven't done that yet. I'm not sure why I'm putting it off. I'm actually glad I'm finishing a legacy even though it's just in Create a Sim.
v If you could be a character from any piece of media who would you be and why?

[kiribaku]

that's a good question, actually ! maybe chi from chi's sweet home, no reason in particular.. cute cat.. deal breaker for me!

^ oh gosh, you just reminded me sims existed, maybe ill give it a play here soon
> i need to get my act together and apply for a new college course.. im thinking music & acting but i also want to do art and textiles.. ughhh...
v what's/what was your favourite subject in school? and why?

[vinyl]

i took a copyright law class when i was in art school, and i was initially expecting to struggle with it and be bored out of my mind, but i actually had a really good time! definitely helped that the professor was super cool too. due to the pandemic, it was an online class at the time i took it, so the professor got to show us his pet cat a few times whenever he wandered into his office :)

^ ohhhh that's a really tough choice! personally, i'd start looking at other factors to help me decide, like what time slots the classes are held at. early morning and late evening classes are a big "no thank you" to me, i once took a printmaking class but i only had about half as much fun as i would have because it ran from like 6 PM to 9 PM

> i wanted to make myself some iced coffee, but the decaf instant espresso i have got contaminated by moisture so i had to throw it out ;A;

v list two truths and one lie about yourself

[star star.]

had hives the entire year i was two, i have five cats, and i can’t have coffee bc it makes me tired

^ nooo rip the instant espresso that sucks :(
> i need to finish getting ready for work. instead i am watching my kitten play in a closet. what is it with her and my oldest cat and closets.
v do you have any pets? if so, what’s something they’re oddly obsessed over that you don’t understand? if not: do you want any pets, and if so, what kind & how many?

[noch]

i have plenty!! 7 fish, 2 cats, a dog and a rabbit. i'll say my male kitty (rooster) loves playing fetch??? was never quite sure how that started. female kitty (snow) likes stealing things but she's just a girl so that's understandable

^ omg when one of my kitties were little he was also obsessed with the closet!! idk why that is?? maybe the smell of your clothes is comforting to them? who knows
> going back to canada very! soon! mom is mad i won't be available for easter because of work but there's nothing i could really have done about that. sucks that we're open on easter :'
v hi! how often do you dream at night? whats the last dream you remember having?

[</З]

well, not very often and i usually don't remember anything in the morning. last night i had a dream that i was a mouse or something...

^i hope your mum isn't angry with you now.
> i'm going to another town on saturday. i'm really anxious about it and i don't know how i'll handle living in a dormitory for about a month, with a lot of people i don't know.
v what was your favourite dinosaur when you were a child?

[coffee.berry]

the triceratops was and always will be my favourite dino<3

^ oh, that sounds exciting and stressful at the same time!!
don't worry, i know you can get through this!!
> i just wrote profiles on toyhouse for 5/6 of my story ocs
and i am PROUD of myself. i usually don't write that much!
v tell me about something you REALLY like! feel free to
write a lot if you want :)

V thank you for writing so much!! that was so interesting
to read!<3 also my story characters are here if you want to
read about them :]

[Hokuto]

I apologize for claiming and not writing; I'll get back to you soon-ish. (Edit: here it is.)
I am currently hopelessly obsessed with this big stupid project where I connected the Generation 8 Pokémon games with an emergent meta narrative involving the canon estimate of (up to) 5% of humans having some level of psychic powers and ethically questionable amounts of time travel. It makes sense in context, I swear. Also Scarlet/Violet and the Splatoon series because my sanity has fully gone down the drain. Last year, I read about Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion on a whim, accidentally spoiled So Many Things to myself, and couldn't ignore the parallels between the New Friend from the Sky (the Pokémon Legends: Arceus protagonist) and Agent 8 (the Octo Expansion protagonist). As one does, I put my New Friend from the Sky's soul into an Agent 8. This needs a LOT of context to make sense.

In the meantime, I took the "flop around and find out" approach to my other Agents, because if my Agent 8 was going to be a distinct character(s), the 3s and 4 deserved to be their own too. I can't say any of them are fully fleshed out, but I know a few things about them and I want to learn more. (The big mystery is my OG 3 because I never legally played the first Splatoon. Currently, they're based on an OC from an entirely different fandom.) I won't have any tangible children, so the characters I create are the next best thing. I have a Daytime arc with the Octo Expansion good ending and a Primetime arc with the bad ending (which creates another path to the Splatoon 3 bad ending). The focus is Daytime because that's the one I played, but given that timeline jumping is both a major plot point in the overarching narrative and the thing that ties everything together, I have to acknowledge it the same way I have to acknowledge the existence of my Pokémon Dark Star continuity.

Anyway, everything I described up there? A minor part of that larger narrative. The Sploons make up a quarter of it, if I'm feeling generous. That Dark Star thing I mentioned makes up maybe another third. (I would have to play Pokémon Sword and Violet, which I don't have, in order to fully explore that continuity.) The main course is Shining Star, which I (thank Arceus) am almost done with. I just need to finish Pokémon Scarlet's DLC stuff and pray that Pokémon Z doesn't do anything interesting with its Old Save Bonuses. (Framing them as "Past Lives" with the fortune teller in Scarlet and Violet was what prolonged this mess in the first place.)

With sincere apologies to both you and the person I'm attempting to explain this to offline, Hokuto

Second edit: I think it's the concept of personal canon I'm losing it over. Persona 5 Royal is next.

^ Congratulations! Feel free to share what you wrote!
> The local convention is happening this weekend! I'm not going because I have piles of late work and 36 cents in the bank.
v Tell me about one of your OCs! (I love when people ask me this, so I figured I should give others the opportunity to do the same.)

[EyeOfVoid]

Oh!! Well I’m currently working on a story called “Kingdom of Cards”, and lately have been making much progress in developing my ocs Robota and Stationary’s dynamic! As well as Robota’s backstory, how she came to life and ended up with Glance and Pearl (two more side characters), and how she’ll develop on her character arc throughout the story. Still a few holes I need to fill, but I’m proud of myself anyway
S… sorry for the yap wall ^^::

^ RAGHHH THAT’S SO MESSED UP :[ A shame you aren’t able to go, but I hope you’re able to catch up on your late work anyway! At the very least, able to make a dent
> I’ve got so much owed art to do ughh, hoping to find my motivation and catch up before spring break ends, because then I’m going to be illustrating a book my friend wrote as an assignment for my fine arts class
v Is there anything you’re looking forward to this weekend? Any plans? And if no plans, what do wish you could do?

[ufoparty]

just ready and eager to get back to my college campus on sunday, miss my routine and friends
