Don't think I ever shared the cover art I did for Forrest Byrnes: Up In Smoke on the Playdate last year, styled to look like a USFS-sanctioned NES game—had so much fun beating the heck out of this thing to make it look like something you found in the back room of an EB Games.
💭 — MBTI and/or enneagram, if known
ENFJ-T! Aka Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging and Turbulent. The site says it's "The turbulent Protagonist" lololol. Almost identical to the Lance face, except that he's Thinking instead of Feeling
❤️ — what are some of your best qualities?
I'm very organized, structured and thorough at work. Colleagues and friends also say that I'm very reliable and don't let people down. I also like to think that I'm fairly chill and friendly/open with just about anyone, though I admit that that can be a bit superficial.
🎮 — favorite video game(s)?
Project Zomboid, The Last Of Us games, especially Part 2, Detroit Become Human, RDR2, Subnautica also fun and relaxing games such as ATS or Firewatch, recently played It Takes Two with a friend and also adored that game. I either love storydriven games or post apocalyptic sandbox games. I got almost 1k hours of Project Zomboid lmfao
🍝 — favorite food(s)?
It's like each year I got a new favorite boring type of self-made soup as a favorite. Last year it was pumpkin soup, this year it's tomato soup, I LOOOVE all types of green salads and eat like 5 bowls of them a week, sweet potatoes are my latest hype, be that as chips, fries or god knows what else I can make out of them. Also cliché German who loves a great kebab
🎶 — favorite song at the moment?
Worst is on its way by Korn, but actually the big remix with HEALTH and the like. I'm usually not really one for hip hop and so forth but this mashup's such a fucking baaaanger and I love how dark it sounds. Stuck on repeat ever since it came out and makes me go feral on the dancefloor at my local goth club haha. Can't believe I've been a Korn fan for over 20 years.
🧶 — any non-writing hobbies/interests?
MOVIES, all the movies and tv shows and obv filmmaking, with it being my job. Also reading and listening to podcasts, watching a crapload of documentaries and information videos on youtube about stuff that interests me (morbidly enough that's engineering disasters both in architecture, with airplanes and ships, but also darker psychology stuff), I'm super interested in abandoned stuff and urban exploration, gaming's obv also a big one, and I like to keep informed on latest developments in consumer electronics and PC building, lovecraftian mythology is obv a big one lately, but also some economics/financial sector stuff or nature and 'how it's made' documentaries, just a whole variety of things I keep myself stuffed with on youtube and Spotify
😗 — what are some of your favorite things to do when you have some time to yourself?
The neat part is that I'm a very independent sort of 'loner' person since I have no interest in romantic relationships or marriage whatsoever, so I mostly have time to myself if I'm not working or consciously hanging out with friends and I know how to use that me time well. Ever since I started on my weight loss journey last year I've come to really enjoy doing sporty things such as swimming countless laps each week at a pool, or religiously running 5k every week if the weather allows it, have even started going to a gym every once in a while, and in the summer doing lots of cycling and inline skating and paddling on the lake. Being active has just honestly become such fun for me. Also like I said before I do love a good read or audio book, I also love looking at my game concept art books or doing puzzles (I'll literally sit for hours and finish a 1k puzzle in one go), then obv writing stories and RPing, gaming, I also picked up French on Duolingo to refresh my old school lessons, so lemme tell you, my 'me time' schedule is always full. I also love to go to my local goth club and dance til I can't walk anymore every now and then. Though I do go to the movies/parties/brunches and what not with friends a lot to, I also like to do it on my own every now and then! I do recommend spending more time with yourself and not making your entire existence absolutely depended on the company of other people 24/7, it can be really insightful, relaxing and refreshing!
Hi!!! I love your writing! Could I have a HLVRAI matchup please?
I'm Kess, I'm 18, and I love anything art. I'm 5"6 and mad about not being taller lol. I use he/they pronouns, and my hair is really short and close to my head. I've got lots of freckles and spots, and I always have some sort of bandage on because I pick at my skin :(. I'm generally a pretty cozy dresser, lot of sweatpants and sweaters and oversized shirts. I'm a scorpio, and I'm very loud and passionate. I'm a bit nervous around new people, and I think I come off as rude sometimes on accident. But I really just feel uncomfortable in social situations UNLESS I'm with friends. I tell a lot of weird jokes and know way too much about the ocean (I wanna be a marine biologist). I'm also very into art and drawing, and LOVE games like Resident Evil, Minecraft, and Firewatch. I think I spend like, $500 a year on art supplies or new games. I play DND too, though I'm a terrible dm lol. I can't stand seafood, inconsiderate people, and any material made of foam (bad texture).
Hope that's enough :)
gosh nonnie, i'm terribly sorry for the long wait. hope you're okay and enjoy!
I match you with . . .
Tommy Coolatta!
♡ Now hear me out . . . DND with Tommy? DND with Tommy. And BOY, does he LOVE playing with you. Even if you're not too confident in your dm skills, he's enjoying it anyway because you're there !! Will go to you for character-making advice and whatnot. He's a little confused, but he's got the spirit
♡ Definitely counts your freckles randomly. When he's too busy admiring you, he'll just spout it out, making random observations. Adores all your spots and even your bandages. They make you you! Tries to encourage you to not pick at your skin, but understands habits are hard to stop. Decorates you in colorful and patterned Band-Aids. They're FASHIONABLE
♡ Hands you his sweaters and shirts, and will sometimes steal yours in return. That way, when you get them back, you have something to remind you of him! Tommy finds this incredibly adorable and smiles soooo wide when he spots you wearing his clothes
♡ You're loud and passionate? He's loud and passionate with you, too. Willing to listen to you talk about anything you like, he's just happy to be with you. Hypes you up for anything & everything and he's your biggest fan/supporter. You know those people who bring cardboard cutouts spelling someone's name in like sports games and stuff? Yeah that's him but it spells out "K" "E" "S" "S"
♡ Tommy will absolutely do all of the talking and initiating with you, no need to feel awkward when he's around. Encourages you to improve on your social skills, but he has no issue in doing such things for you. Loves the praise and thank you's he gets in return!
♡ Oooh lord, a marine biologist? Well, you've piqued Tommy's interest. If he wasn't listening before, HE SURE IS NOW. God please tell him everything and anything you can, Tommy thinks you're the fucking coolest person alive.
♡ Insists on painting & drawing with you. Loves your hobbies and loves your art, but he loves joining you too! Tommy will either draw Sunkist or you two together, despite it probably being drawn in crayons.
♡ Minecraft is soo fun with Tommy. You two build the most stupidest, most random things. That is... if you don't let Benrey on there. Tommy has begged Benrey multiple times to not fuck your shit up even though it's nothing too fancy, it means a lot to Tommy.
♡ Loves watching you play games too. Adds so much commentary and funny jokes that you're probably not even focused on the gameplay at this point
♡ Tommy loves you to death and will always be there to do anything you need him to do for you. You've always got a shoulder to cry on and someone to go to for ANYTHING. You're so lucky
This is a shadowbox I made in art class, inspired by Firewatch. I’m very proud and satisfied with it, which is something I’m not able to say too often. But this was a lot of fun and I want to do more in the future!
