@totalanimefan: hey total! i'm not bad actually
i realized i was doing a lot these past few weeks so i'm slowing down now lol ... for some reason everything felt kind of urgent and i was like oh i'm so busy... but then i was like oh none of these things are actually urgent and this is all self imposed lol

@sunny: oh my gosh lol that's funny ... packing is so much work too it's awesome you finished it all already! i always save some for the last minute haha
it can feel weird to have everything packed up, like moving limbo, cuz you have to go w/o using stuff you've packed already

ahh table and chairs set would be so nice! and it's finally getting warmer too, it'll be nice to sit outside this spring :-)

what myths are you drawing inspiration from?

@xvz: he's a border terrier :) we will hopefully get the keys on the 15th March, because they need to do some repairs. So we can move in any time around there. My mum wants to move ASAP lol. I'm thinking I will grow veggies, and I'm hoping my Citrus tree comes back to life. I want to grow runner beans and carrots and strawberries. And maybe onions. Idk. I still have to plan it out and see what the soil is like etc.

Your book sounds so interesting! That's cool that you've found that. I haven't been reading anything lately unfortunately, been too busy/stressed with the move. I've still been writing though, I've been writing a modern fairy tale set in near-future India. There's lots of Hindu mythology etc.



aww cute! and ooh that's soon :0 do you feel ready to move?

omg that sounds like a really nice veggie garden! my dream haha
how big will the yard be?

oohh that's nice you can still find time to write w all the moving stuff going on! how are you learning abt the mythology you're drawing inspiration from?

@siron: oh interesting! how much more school do you have left? do you have any favorite classes so far?
when would you be starting your internship?

i've been reading a lot of nonfiction lately :0 rn i'm reading a memoir by a dream researcher, it's like half memoir half dream research / brain stuff haha
for vgm , more recently i was listening to metroid prime and mother 3! (though tbh i haven't played either ... i'd like to play mother 3 at some point though! it's supposed to be super long tho, the soundtrack itself is like 6-7 hrs lol)
what kind of vgm do you like / do u have any recs?? i don't know of too many classical ones but i really like them + would love to know of more :-)

This is the only ref of him I have on hand: https://www.deviantart.com/saracaa/art/Michaelangelo-cm-539318355

@xvz: no we've lived in our current place for 3 years or so. I am pretty excited about the move, my mum will be a bit lot less stressed and we will have a garden for the dog which is nice! It's a pretty old house (70s) and it needs a bit of work but it should scrub up good.

What kind of nonfiction have you been reading?



oohh do you know when the move will be happening? a garden sounds really lovely! i've always wanted one<3 do you think you would grow anything? what kind of dog do you have? :3

mm i've been reading a book about transformative justice, which is about like ... how can we take care of our communities and handle difficult situations in a way that doesn't require policing? and a book on systems thinking which is like ... looking at whole systems (anything can be a system -- a government, a family, the environment, the economy, your neighborhood, etc.) instead of just the individual parts and how effects can exist in the interactions b/n parts, not just the parts themselves (if that makes sense)

have you been reading anything lately?

Totalanimefan:


@xvz: I am a little nervous. If I get the job they apparently have a zoom office, which means that while you are working all of you are on zoom together. The whole shift. ^^; I also have doubts just cause I've been out on work since Oct. But at the same time the job is really easy, it's just admin work. I can totally do that.
For interviews themselves sometimes I go blank when people ask a question. ^^;

Yeah true. DC is on two rivers, and very close the Chesapeake Bay, but far from an Atlantic beach. If I wanted to go to a beach in the summer I could just see my family in FL though. Those are the best beaches. And you can find ones in small towns that aren't packed at all. Just you and a beach.

That sounds like it was really nice, you went to see family? Or just a trip with friends? I'm glad you had a nice time. I wish that I could go somewhere summer-like right now, but COVID lol

Our wedding day was March 8th, 2014. One of these years I would love to take him to a romantic getaway in Charleston, SC. Like maybe around our anniversary? I think the weather is good in SC in March right? It is much more south than us.




@totalanimefan: oohh woah i didn't know zoom offices were a thing. haha i hate having my camera on at work tbh
i guess no one is really paying attention though i just don't like the feeling of being watched! i think irl i tend to avoid attention unless i'm in a really comfortable / trusted environment -- and even then too much attention can stress me out lol

ohh remote beaches sound nice -- so peaceful! i guess fl is surrounded by beach haha

i didn't realize you had been married for so long! may i ask how long did you know each other before you got married? do you remember the day you met? :-)

@naeril: haha you don't have to give anything in return!
i tried to get extras from the event for ppl who join after :-)
the events here usually have really great items and are super fun! i wasn't around much for the most recent winter one unfortunately tho


@siron: oohh congrats on the internship! what would you be doing? may i ask what you're in school for?

i've been ok! usually good for the most part despite some down days
i've been reading a lot lately and listening to a lot of video game music haha
do you listen to any vgm?

@rat squad: yay! tbh idk how to price art either (or items for that matter) but that sgtm i'd also be interested in a harvest diety as well!

re: bust/half/full -- i'm not too sure tbh, it might depend on the chars - like who you would want for the duo/couple vs. the two solo ones

i can do painting for busts but i might have to do cell shading or something cute for lizard char ... i'm not sure how important pose+style is for yall but i can at least say it'll be the equivalent amt of effort of a painted bust for each char. (painted bust ≈ half/full cell shading)

is that ok? i can do more if that feels like not enough for the art trade + items, it will just take me longer to get to everything haha. let me know what yall want!

as far as art trade -- honestly whatever yall have time for works for me lol. i'd love to request a bouncy pixel friend from ghost, outside of that whatever would be fun and not stressful for yall + feels good for what i can offer , i would be happy to receive :-)
