Posted in What are you reading during the quarantine? Posted 5 years ago
I'm currently reading The World Without us by Alan Weisman
Just finished Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik,
Dragon Avenger by E.E Knight,
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison,
and Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke.

I'm trying to read 24 books this year, haha.
I'd defo recommend all those I've read and they were all pretty good. The best being Rendezvous with Rama and the Goblin Emperor!
@chiffonorange:
Oh my!
Thank you so muchhh~

Seems like we're one of the few who actually genuinely enjoyed the book series LOL.
I think I still have them somewhere .... wait no! I borrowed them off a friend I think!!
( ಠ‿ಠ)

My only issue is I dislike when series of books release a new book YEARS after the series ended. Especially YA as a lot of the original fans of the series have grown up and no longer care for the series, like me. I probably would have LOVED a new book years ago when I still cared.
The Eragon author did the same thing and the new book was (sorry) garbage and added nothing to the story, Ooop.

@vawnilla:
omg bless youu ;w;;;
I'm still learning layering on this site but I'm happy I was able to do something resembling a cute avatar on my first day LOL
I need to experiment with items but am still working out the best way to get new ones....
I'm used to my avatar site having a clear market place but this one seems to be user run and that kinda scares me to jump in ;w;
awhh I'm glad you've been focusing on yourself tho <3333

are you here to also maybe do some art? * v*

@kreatura:
Oooo!! What was your first avatar site??
I think I started on gaia and have tried Tinierme but never got into it. I played on IMVU for a few months and still go back every couple of months to check it out, haha. It's never as social as I'd like it to be. People just sit in a room silently and don't really know how to make conversation xD
There was another site I tried but I don't remember the name, I didn't get into it much.
I truly hope they make a come back too!!!!

We sound pretty much the same, haha. Except I don't even live with my partner.
I talk lots with him and my work mates but I'm honestly super bored most of the days and when not working I like to talk to someone, haha.

Copying art to start learning isn't a bad thing!! A lot of artists would agree that even tracing is a worthy tool if you're using it to learn (and aren't selling/claiming the art as your own) I often will trace hands on a photo to understand a pose and perspective better. No shame in that!!!

@superzombiepotatoe:
Ayyy!!
Nice to meet you, fellow nooby!~
The sites very different to the ones I'm used to be I loveee the items

I need to open an art shop or something and ask for more items as rn I don't know how anyone even affords new items as a new player outside of the shops

@Amber lynne:
Exactlyyy!!!!
It's so bad when I used to use OC names as usernames and then grew out of the OCs LOL
I try to avoid and just use generic names or funny puns like 'it was super effective' is my gaia xD

@kairu:
Omg yeah it's so sad a lot of avatar forums are dying!!
I grew up on them and love the design of so many of them, It just sucks the general audience of young teens no longer use sites like these.
:(

I know there's other roles!!! I'm only interested in the illustrator role. A role I've already applied for;;
No point asking about other roles I don't even want.

@totalanimefan:
London is massive!!! It's why I was so surprised at how small Amsterdam was when I went a few years back. You could almost walk it in under an hour if you wanted!
I'm very bias when it comes to London as it's my home town 8)
I live in the east and my fave part is probably the big ass free museums, national history is probably my favourite but always so busy! There is a side entrance and if you have a ticket for ANYTHING inside you can just walk right in. There's always exhibitions on (obviously outside of corona) and new things to see. My friends always so good at finding out where to go and eat as well, haha! We had tickets to a yayoi exhibition that was meant to be next week but I assume it's cancelled now as non essential travel is banned!! ;;;_____;;

@lucifera:
It is an excellent networking practice and I really need to do it more!
I've learnt to be a lot more open and better at connecting online but it often doesn't compare to knowing someone face to face! I'm just so awkward IRL sometimes, especially when it comes to something I'm passionate about but not all people may understand, haha
That's so cool you're doing daily practice! I wish I had the time and motivation but at least I'm doing lil bits towards artwork I'm working on~

I've always been slow but even more so now we're all stuck at home.
@pachi:
LOL yeahhhh! That was my issue too
I sacrificed size for portability because I had a wacom tablet and felt that getting something portable was something I could convince myself I needed. Whereas I didn't NEED a new tablet when my current works fine xD
I'm honestly a dumbass and god CSP on my laptop so I can't even use it on my ipad. I'M SO DUMB LOLLL
maybe one day I'll use it;;;

DAMN
full colour comic?
you must enjoy pain.

@kairu:
Masa must love pain as they're doing a full colour comic!!
WHO EVEN DOES THAT???! Only crazy people who's comics look *chef kiss*
