if you were a building what kind of building would you be
such an incredible question . first impulse is to say lighthouse because i love them and i want a tattoo of one but realistically? i think maybe a visitor center in a slightly above average public park. oh or like, a library in a small town
Do you bite or lick your ice cream cone

did mote's name come from the sonic youth song?

Have you read The Girl From The Other Side? I haven't read the manga cus Brain Worms but the art style feels right up your alley and I wanted to share
hi anon sorry i am late . i never did read this one, i feel like i started it and didnt find the story gripping but i'll try it again - if anyone else wants to vouch for it im all ears
what would your job be on the space station?
i would do so badly there. maybe i could be the space station dick flattener
favorite guild wars 2 characters? i'm fond of caithe because i always have a thing for "flawed female character that male fans are constantly seething about"
i love zojja so much i modeled my main after her . that said i have paid very little mind to any of the story since HoT. i also like mai trin because she is sexy. sorry i do not play this game for the plot even though i know rationally it is engaging, it's like baby sensory videos for me
Were will we end up after retrospring dies?
heaven, i hope
being trapped in the attic seems like a fun time for SPOOKY STORIES, to me
i'll tell you a spooky story anon . when i was a kid in first grade and we moved to oregon, to the dome house , a man stopped by to tell us a bit about the late artist who built the house, frans. the man was apparently a friend of his, and he came bearing a self-portrait of frans. the painting was of a man screaming and clutching his stomach as a light burst from his chest. the man said "frans wants to see his home again" and told us he'd be back for it in a year. we did not see him again for nearly ten years
when he finally came back i was a teenager. we had kept the painting in the front hallway for a decade. he retrieved it with no explanation and gave us a smaller print of it to keep, which we put up in its place. i was fine with seeing it go, i never liked the painting much, it was a little creepy - frans had died in the home and it was an uncanny image all things considered
by that time i was taking art classes across town in oregon city . the building at which i took the classes was kind of a community center, a low budget establishment, not a lot of throughput. that same week that the man took frans' painting away, i went to attend my class. above the table at which i did my classwork, right above where i usually sat, was frans' self-portrait - the original. the man, without knowing anything about my life, had donated it to the center and they had placed it there within a matter of days. it followed me there
i will post an image of the painting in the replies! frans was also a career mime btw
i’ve been offline Why are you in quebec
i like quebec. im considering grad school here (i want to become a professor) bc it's cost effective and i am learning french. was gonna tour concordia then i got fucking covid ! montreal is the coolest city i have spent time in in north america + the friends i have here are awesome. i would move here if i could, it's beautiful
I always loved seeing your night walk posts, as a fellow nightwalk enjoyer wandering around in the Pacific Northwest sounds awesome
im glad you like them .. enough people expressed concern for me that i became kind of paranoid and slowed down the frequency of my night walks this year but i want to resume them. it is one of the only times i know peace (or was before i started getting nervous). i probably need a better pepper spray type item, maybe pepper gel? walking a quiet street in the pnw at night is genuinely one of the best feelings in the world
if I was trapped in the attic I would simply say "wow just like yellow wallpaper" repeatedly to myself until my time is done. have you tried that?
i will be trying this tonight thank you
