Oh yeah, I stay away from sodas as much as I can (except the very occasional Sprite during outings because how could I live without it). And I’m lactose intolerant, so I too prefer a savory treat to a sweet one. Tea has always been my one exception, though; I couldn’t tell you why.

I’ve dabbled with growing my own tea leaves, but it didn’t go very well. I definitely have a brown thumb…

I always forget chai is actually a tea. I’m so used to western teas, I guess.

You see, I’m weird and get bitter teas only to fill them with sweets like honey.

I love any and all earl greys. Can’t go wrong with ‘em.

This sounds cliche but parks/public playgrounds are lovely. I live near one and spend much of my downtime drawing, writing, or doomscrolling at it. They often aren’t too loud if you don’t live in a big city, and I love hearing kids play in the distance behind me. Occasionally, you might even have a nice conversation with a stranger.

Ooooo, I do like me some peppermint tea. I find it to be awfully seasonal, though.

Never heard of it. What’s it like?

Hm. Elaborate on that. I’m trying to learn more about the space.

Why’s that? Simplicity and low overhead? Or is it an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” situation?

Might I ask which TTTPG? Or is it a general setting for any game?

I’ve been teaching myself to draw for the exact same reasons you do it. Hopefully the quality of my work will catch up to yours soon, lol. Right now, I’m great at drawing things from reference, but the moment I try to draw something from my own head, the skill I thought I had just vanishes…

I’d say that’s the best way to do it. I like to have evolutionary reasons for the biologies my species have, but the plausibility of those reasons are the least of my concerns, lol.

I’m really new to this whole fediverse thing, but I’d love to know more. Could someone please explain to me what some/all of these applications are?

The longest I’ve ever worked on a project is two years… Props to you! I have a really bad habit of not finishing anything because I have a lot of ideas that are always “more interesting” than my last.

Do you do much speculative biology for your aliens? I’ve been getting into that a lot recently.

Oh my gosh, hi! I instantly recognized your work from [email protected]! It’s fun to see the same people around in different communities. I’m not sure how much you browse, but you may have seen my pen and paper sketches that were posted on an old account.

Anyways, they look fantastic! I always used to wonder if your works were for an organized setting because they seemed pretty consistent. You will definitely continue to receive my upvotes.

I wouldn’t. Hope this helps!

I learned this the hard way many years ago…with a fruit smoothie. It took literal blood, sweat, and tears to fully clean that thing.

Nothing beats having to do, well, nothing! I recently had to stay with a friend of mine due to some housing issues, and even though the couch wasn’t mine, I can’t tell you how nice it felt to slump on it after a stressful day.

Thank you! :)
