happy vibrance day everyone! since we can recieve sugar cubes through posting on the forums, and now that we have the event arcade, i'm gonna take a spin on a classic forum game: naming an item in alphabetical order, but with anything that you can find in a cafe.

to start off this game: acai bowl!

i only have two atm!

bed, fan, guitar

definitely stole that thread name. mhm, yup.
anyways, welcome to my rp search thread! about time i made something like this, heh. ^^;;

to preface any and all details i'm going to give out, i think it's best to explain why i like rping. feel free to skip all this, it's kind of pointless anyways. i also put it in spoiler brackets to save space.



now that that's out of the way, let's get down to business!

---

important info:
- i am a minor! i have made the mistake of interacting with adults over 20, and i would like to interact with people at least 18 or younger. please do not interact if you are an adult.

- my time zone is gmt+10, so i will reply at very odd times. just need you to know that if you're not in a similar time zone.

- i do not rp romance or ships. the most i have gotten far with is a canon ship having a heart-to-heart moment, but ships and super romantic themes in general make me uncomfortable.

response writing + schedule:
as stated before, i am a semi-literate rp'er. the most i can do is about three paragraphs, but if i'm burnt out or low on time, the most i can give you is a paragraph. i tend to focus on outer details and world-building, just so the entire experience feels somewhat authentic! i'd appreciate if you can match my detailed behavior, but i don't mind if you can't. not everyone is built with an extensive imagination!

my schedule is, let's just say, wacky. i can reply right after you've posted your reply, or it'll take me an entire week. since i'm on a loose schedule, i can reply from between wednesdays to sundays, but my response time can be inconsistent. i can easily lose interest in the moment, and i apologize in advance if i ghost you! i'll message you if that ever happens, and i hope this isn't too bad of a habit.

characters:
my characters can vary a lot! i have... a disconcerting amount of middle-aged adult men characters, and just adult characters in general. i do own humanoid, monster, and alien-type characters. i'm also not opposed to using avatars i have made here, or on dappervolk or recolor.me, so if you're interested in that... well, there you go. i do make a lot of fan-characters, and the most fan-charas i have are homestuck kids/trolls! i'll touch up on my fandom interests later.

so far, i have nearly 20 characters in total, but there are only five that i truly focus on! feel free to ask me about them, they're a great bunch. they're the OG ocs i have, ever since 2017!

note: i am NOT great with writing full biographies. i'm the type of person to write extensive bios for my characters, but i get burnt out too easily even trying to write my OG characters bios. i hope it's fine if we just stick with basic bios until i'm ready to update them.

fandoms:
i am not a stickler for a particular fandom! i actually drift between multiple fandoms because of their plots or characters or themes, so even if i have a lot of interests, i only know so much.

here's a list of what themes i enjoy, as well as fandoms:
- thriller/horror
- cyberpunk
- cottagecore
- angst
- dream (not the mcyt, just the hazy, nonsensical aesthetic)
- rivalries
fandoms:
- detroit: become human
- homestuck
- skyrim: elder scrolls, to some extent

i love brainstorming ideas, so don't be shy to share your thoughts and interests with me! i also have a few ideas that i've been brewing for quite a few months, so i'd love to share them as well.

WOW that is so much, i apologize. i'm just really picky with what i present and share, and i don't feel comfortable just giving out a few facts and leaving it as is.
EDIT: please ping me if you're interested! i don't receive thread notifs, even when i bookmark them, so i'd appreciate it. thank you!

@kda drew: it wasn't a terrible reaction, but it definitely was annoying to deal with. i also completely understand why you would recycle old medication, since i have to do it when i can't visit the doctor, but it's still a really risky thing to do. i'm glad your meds only made you sleepy, but then you were still putting yourself at risk of getting horribly sick.

@totalanimefan: yeah, i think i've really learned my lesson here. a close friend of mine suggested that i immediately discard the old tube of medicine, and i followed through, since it was the only thing i could do then.

@bioshock: yep, or some of the ingredients in the old medication might've broken down into something harmful for human consumption. and i really didn't know that people have to rely on fish antibiotics, which is a depressing thought. i really wish that this wasn't the case, but sadly it's gonna take more than us chanting for the prices for medication to be lowered. :(

i think i've mentioned this a few times, but i have severe atopic dermatitis. i've had it for just about as long as i lived, and there hasn't been a day where i've truly felt comfortable. it's constantly itchy and dry and painful, and i'm naturally inclined to scratch my skin whether i'm itchy or not.

of course, i do have medication to combat this. i've used some so often, that i can actually name a few. i've used doxycycline hyclate (arguably the worst in terms of side effects), vitamin c gels and tablets, triamcinolone acetonide in both cream and ointment form, betamethasone, mupiocirin, and i'm also authorized to use dupixent because of how severe it is.

i'm only limited to only three refills per ointment tube and pill bottle, and i can run through them quick, though sometimes i do neglect my medications because of laziness. one of the leftover medications i had was a months old tube of triamcinolone, which had become oily and separated into two layers when squeezed out, because of repeated heat exposure. my skin was dry, and i couldn't find my regular tube of betamethasone, so i had to use some of the old ointment.

for a couple of minutes, it all seemed fine. my skin was moisturized, and that's all that mattered... then the swelling slowly came in. it took me a couple of minutes to realize why my skin felt so itchy all of a sudden, but after checking the moisturized area, i'd seen that the scratched up areas were now swollen and puffy, and hot to the touch. i kept scratching and putting on ointment, but i had stopped after the second time because it caught up to me that the ointment was the problem. so, as logically as possible, i grabbed a few alcohol wipes and sanitized the affected area as much as possible. i had also decided minutes after that perhaps taking antihistamines would aide in stopping the flare up, and luckily, it did. slowly, in waves of heat, the swelling had calmed down, but it still hurt and whatnot.

today, i have learned a valuable lesson: don't use expired medication, even if you really need it. i did some research, and if you put expired ointment on an open wound (which i had foolishly done), there could be adverse effects. mine was swelling skin, and thankfully nothing else, but it could have devolved into something MUCH worse, had i not tried to take care of it. ointments may not do much damage if expired, but expired pills can do a lot of harm. i'm glad i didn't keep my old pills for my ad, or it would've been the end for me (but i know better, but it's better to be safe than sorry).

i'd speak up more about this, but the antihistamines i took are starting to make me drowsy, but i'm glad it had done SOMETHING instead of nothing. not only that, i really need to pack up and hit the hay.

been a while since i've posted, but i've managed to draw not one, but two drawings with hands as the main subject (excluding this one, the snake is the focus).

notes:
- based off of the 2018 album by polyphia, new levels new devils.
- snake is based off of domcake's 3d work for polyphia's music videos for their album, and i directly used the colors shown in one of the screenshots of their snake model.
- liquid physics SUCK.



the other drawing with hands as the main subject. also has liquid/dripping effects, because my friend and i were gushing about how cool it is to draw blood flowing... because any other liquid sucks, for some reason.

notes:
- LITERALLY IDENTICAL TO MY FIRST DRAWING.
- the only difference is that i drew this one with a tablet, the first one is drawn with a mouse.
- ms paint <3 sorry professional art programs, i don't love you anymore.
