the <^> game | v. twenty-three

[paevent]

I don’t normally listen to modern day pop but recently my sister has shown me Chappell Roan (if anyone’s going to convince me to listen to an artist it’d be my sister, she showed me twenty one pilots and now I cannot live without them) anyway I then asked my friend if she knows Chappell Roan so now all three of us are loving her rn lol. So I’ve been listening to a buncha songs (Pink Pony Club is my fav so far) then I saw Sabrina carpenter did a cover of her song, so then I went down a Sabrina Carpenter rabbit hole and definitely felt nostalgic when I listened to her stuff from years ago again. Nonsense might be my fav so far

^ I hope moving goes well, that must be very stressful
> sonic the fast food place is underrated tbh (at least in my state bc the closest one is so far) I’m getting my fav Oreo cheesecake shake from there in a few minutes!
v do you like milkshakes or smoothies more? And what’s your favorite flavor(s)??

[noch]

SMOOTHIES all the way!!! my boyfriend showed me a while back this smoothie he likes to make -- banana cinnamon! easily one of my favorites nowadays.

^ ooouu i haven't been to a sonic in forever, not a ton around where i live. aren't they the ones that did (or maybe still do) the rollerskating thing??? pretty awesome
> been eyeing up crested geckos from afar. such cool animals. one of these days i might get around to getting one but probably not for a while.
v tell me about something that is only slightly annoying to you.

[retro]

the way my cat opens my door the MOMENT i close it

^ geckos are such cool little guys. i love how many diff types there are NATURE IS BEAUTIFUL. also, love your art! ive been following on oekaki for a bit now :3
> took my adhd meds, drank coffee, then accidently spent the next 3 HOURS viciously reorganizing my pet groups nonstop instead of doing something efficient with that sweet, sweet extra focus :_I now the day is WASTEDDD. or at least it feels like it
v how early do you wake up on days you dont have work/school?

[star star.]

unfortunate for me. 6:30ish am. idk WHY it's insane to me i do not like waking up early. it works because i can get up and feed my mom's cats their breakfast, but i turn around and immediately conk back out until i inevitably wake back up around 11am-3pm, depending on the heat outside (our ac struggles during the summer apparently. exciting! /sarc)

^ adhd meds + coffee/caffeine feel like they'd cancel each other out but maybe that's just me & my silly anti-caffeine adhd wired brain that crashes if i have a coffee. and i get that so hard </3 but it wasn't wasted if you got something done that you've been thinking about doing?
> FINALLY catching up on stuff i need to work on a credit sequence but iiii am gonna watch dan & phil's silly little halloween baking episode from last halloween bc i finally started rewatching them and i have missed my favorite youtubers from middle school. may see if i can afford to see them when they come back to my state later in the year if there's still tickets.
v break point! take a sip of water, stretch, and then answer this: if a genie appeared in front of you and said it could turn you into a bug of any kind of your choosing, what would you choose?

[alce]

caterpillar.. i like them and i think munching on a leaf would be fun

^ I understand the AC struggles, I have like 3 box fans pointing towards my bed. revisiting old youtubers is always so nostalgic
> had some delicious chili for dinner and now im sitting on my bed drawing while my cat sleeps by me. this is truly the life
v any pets? what are their names?

[Smokyskies]

Yep! I have a dog, cat and some fishies. My pupper is named Chloe and she’s a Heeler and Coonhound mix. Our kitty is a stray we took in who we named Mittens but never call her that 😂. We have gone through many fish so now we have four little bottom feeders which are all alive still!

^ Chili is so good, my family has a tradition to make it every Halloween. Aw kitty snuggles are the best.
> I am currently sick right now so ugh. Thankfully I’ve gotten a bit better but now my throat feels super dry and no amount of water is helping. Hopefully I can get better soon.
v What would be your dream job? Real or made up.

[halo]

i djon’t even know. if i didn’t have to think about money, i’d probably just work with cats. otherwise, i’m really interested in meteorology. being a supreme court justice would also be rly cool

^ hopefully that lets up soon :(
> air conditioner Broken…… i am melting. and school is making me want to blow up!!!!!!!!!! when i’m not sleeping, 90% of my time is being spent on summer work. why can’t i just be allowed to enjoy summer break like normal 🪦
v tell me about a teacher you had/have that you really like :^)

— xo

[akü]

ideally it would be no job, because i hate responsibility and like rest. that aside, something creative or in healthcare is also fine, i'm not picky

^ hope you feel better soon! it does seem like stuff is going around, i know a lot of people who've been sick recently

that is the worst i am sorry. i hope the ac can be fixed soon, at least + that you can find some free time. i've been in that boat

^ had a teacher a while back that noticed i was a little down and asked about it, which meant the world to me because i was Going Through it. it's nice when people genuinely care about your wellbeing and pick up on the subtle things
> need to catch up on a bunch of artfight revenges but i'm only starting to find that motivation again. being sick rlly sucks the energy out of you
v are you happy w the decoration in your room/space? if not, how would you like it to be decorated?

[retro]

not rlly, but its ok! i have so many posters and little doodads i would love to be looking at right now, but im going back to school in a month so it would just be more effort than its worth to take everything out when im just gonna be packing most of it back up again. but im gonna be rooming with my friend once i go back to college and we have a bunch of plans for our new dorm :]

^ ouuugh i feel you!! i have so many as well and i just do not have it in me anymore.... its like im always so excited for artfight until i actually have to draw LOL. i hope you can feel better soon tho so you can get a few more attacks in!
> guys look at this pet group of mine THEY'RE SO CUTEE
v do you have any crazy ex roommate stories?

[star star.]

thankfully no... my most annoying roommate was one who almost never took the trash out & would constantly set the AC to higher than i'd prefer (i had the back room with the on-campus apartments so i was further away from the unit AND SHE HAD A FAN?? IN HER ROOM???) so that was. annoying. (also the bathroom was kinda dirty will not lie + her mom asked if i had a car so when i said no she was like "oh ok" so. no i am not driving your daughter to get groceries i just got over my debilitating car anxiety a few months/maybe a year prior.) but no crazy ex roommates! thankfully. everyone else was super chill (unfortunately my sophomore year of college i was still a bit of a doormat and my paranoia was worsening so i had other things to worry about that weren't my roommate who never took the trash out except maybe once in a blue moon)

^ THAT GROUP oh theyre so cute
> may have accidentally made my other three cats jealous by giving the baby wet food in front of them but she just got her cone off. anyway her mom keeps tilting her head staring at her and it's really really funny i wish i had my phone on me
v what's something funny your pets have done? if you don't have pets: what's your favorite constellation
