Ask the Staff!

[Ethulai]

To anyone (but particularly artists);;
What art program do you use? c: And would you suggest it for someone looking for a good program (me) c;

I've been using Fire Alpaca. I love it because it's fairly user friendly - things like Photoshop scare me off.

to anyone: what does your hair look like? is it long or short, straight or curly, brown or blonde? and how do you manage it?

I have straight-to-wavy-ish (great explanation eh?) hair down to just past my collarbones (it doesn't like to grow).
At the moment it's kind of half-ombre - the top is natural mousey brown and the bottom is streaked with blonde and copper.
Really need to do something with it soon
In terms of managing, I generally let it do it's thing, brush it regularly, straighten/style it when I feel like it (I'm generally lazy, hair maintenance-wise).

To any staff who would like to answer:
What country do you come from/live in?
I come from/live in Australia and would like to know what country you guys come from. Thanks!

G'Day mate I'm also an Aussie.

To anyone
Anyone like pineapples?

Yes. Give them to me. Now.

To anyone, Whats the dumbest thing you've EVER done?

Oh, I don't know, ripping my leg open because I lost my balance on a trampoline, which resulted in me falling off the trampoline and landing on a cotton palm/Mexican fan palm resulting in 12 stitches?
(they look like this if you're curious)

US. I have visited Australia before

To anyone
Anyone like pineapples?

Simple answer. Yes except when my tongue gets all tingly.

to; any staff member who watches anime/reads manga

What is your favorite anime/manga?

I have way too many, but at the moment, I'm obsessed with Fairy Tail. What are you favorites?

To anyone, Whats the dumbest thing you've EVER done?

Hmmm well mine involves almost death. Simple to say, ran across a busy road at night and almost got hit by a car. Yep, I was a brilliant adolescent back then...

To any staff member
Has anyone ever had a huge go at you? Like a fight about something? And they wouldn't drop the argument?
Is so, how did you deal with it lol

Hmmm...well that usually happens every time I'm on rounds as a Resident Advisor xD

To anyone; What is your favorite video game? (Besides CS, of course! I'm a girl, but for some reason mine is COD!)

Kingdom Hearts and Luigi's Mansion <3

To anybody,

have you ever spooked someone before?

Accidentally scared my brother when opening a door lol

[Celozon]

To:Anyone
Have you ever been so stressed from a simple thing that it feels like you're going to throw up and cry? A bit specific, but it happens too often.

I really don't ever feel nauseous (I don't know if thats just me or what, but honestly its only happened to me a handful of times), but I've been stressed to the point where I just bust out in tears and end up finding a dark corner to hide in (even as an adult). Mainly due to my anxiety and all that great stuff.

To anyone:
How do you feel about Gravity Falls ending tomorrow

I still haven't watched it yet, I'm rewatching the whole series first, but I'm really excited to get to see it, I imagine there it going to be a lot of crying happening c':

To anyone (but particularly artists);;
What art program do you use? c: And would you suggest it for someone looking for a good program (me) c;

I use SAI, I really like it and honestly the only downside for me personally is it can't do gifs so I have to do those in a different program. SAI isn't free unfortunately. I was using GIMP before, I wouldn't really suggest it as I was never fond of it, but you can certainly give it a try, (I made art like this on it, though that was 2 years ago now).

to anyone: what does your hair look like? is it long or short, straight or curly, brown or blonde? and how do you manage it?

Short (usually just a couple inches long), somewhere between curly and wavy? Its not real tight curls but when its long enough its got a lot of curl to it, also very thick (ugg). Apparently the name for the color of my hair is 'Strawberry Blonde' but I hate that name for it. It just looks brown most of the time, and a bit red when in sunlight (it used to be red when I was younger Cx)

To any staff who would like to answer:
What country do you come from/live in?
I come from/live in Australia and would like to know what country you guys come from. Thanks!

US, though not in the state I'd prefer.

To anyone, Whats the dumbest thing you've EVER done?

Theres a lot...one that comes to mind is me deciding to climb a tree in my parents yard when I was younger, except they are in Florida and there are nothing but pine trees there (which have no low hanging branches) so I had a choice of like...2 trees in the yard (and they have a full acre yard), and the one I chose to climb was not particularly the best choice. A branch snapped and I cut my leg open pretty bad. But since it wasn't bleeding all that much cause of the location, I didn't go get stitches, so now I have a pretty rad scar on my leg. Moral of the story is do not live in Florida if you want to be able to climb trees.

To any staff member
Has anyone ever had a huge go at you? Like a fight about something? And they wouldn't drop the argument?
Is so, how did you deal with it lol

No, but I already know how I'd react. I'm terrible at confrontation so I'd literally end up just standing there essentially frozen with a blank look on my face cause my brain likes to just stop working in situations like that c': But people like that are never going to listen to anything you say anyway.

To anyone; What is your favorite video game? (Besides CS, of course! I'm a girl, but for some reason mine is COD!)

I have a lot of games I really like. Recently I'd started playing my old gamecube games again, Pokemon Colosseum and Animal Crossing, but I've been playing some of the older Heroes of Might and Magic on my computer a lot lately too aha.

To anybody,

have you ever spooked someone before?

All the time. People are always saying I 'scared' them and all I did was walk up behind them. Maybe its just me, but apparently most people don't pay that much attention to their surroundings, and I'm almost completely silent when I walk.

To any staff member
Where is CS in your list of priorities ((excluding eating, sleeping, breathing and such))

[Konata.]

@Lucky
Ooh, Luigis mansion. I used to be so scared of that game when I was a kid, everytime I watched a sibling play, I'd bring my blanket with me. ;^;

To any staff~

What would you probably be doing if you WEREN'T a staff member?

[DoctorDraca]

To any staff~

What would you probably be doing if you WEREN'T a staff member?

Maybe I'd run a species adoption center or something, or make more art. I'm really not sure.

To: DoctorDraca:
How do you pronounce Draca? Is it like the a in cat or pan or like the a sound in chalk or malt?
Sorry. Shower thoughts. XD;

Drah-kah. So more like cat.

To anyone; What is your favorite video game? (Besides CS, of course! I'm a girl, but for some reason mine is COD!)

The Mass Effect games for sure. But I have an exceptional fondness for Doom, too. Probably because I grew up with it. Incidentally, both series are getting a new game this year! My wallet weeps already.

q w q i want to ask you, if you watch horror movies? If yes, what is your favorite one? and Top 5 Horror movies? :3

I love horror movies! They're my favourite genre. Sci-fi horror especially. I think my all around favourite would have to be Alien. However, I don't think I can make a top 5. I've watched tons of horror movies and there aren't a whole lot that I enjoyed thoroughly. Too many films rely on jumpscares, and I prefer suspense. Save for Alien, Aliens, Event Horizon, and a handful of others, there are very few horror movies that I find good enough to watch again. I'm still waiting for a really good horror film to cross my path again.

The sad thing about loving horror movies is that most of my friends don't like them and I can't ever have a horror marathon with anyone. ):

i feel you q w q (and im so sorry for late answer) i understand your love to alien, i like that too c: its classic, maybe if you didnt saw all the new horrors or something like that i saw bunch of horrors too, i dont know if you saw... but try Deliver us from Evil, if you didnt see but im sure you did xD q w q im not old enough to remember all good old horrors, but if you didnt see al the movies i can help you find some ^^ (or at least i can try to help you find some movies q w q ... if you will want... i know you will not T.T)
