I haven't met as many people as some of the European folks, one time @WhirlingBlack and I *almost* went for drinks, I hope I can go to your club some day. I had the pleasure of hanging out with @monkeybanana4 at a couple of concerts and watching a hilarious shitty movie with @ghost  
 
I've made some really good memories here and hope to continue having laughs with some of you. I can't wait for teenage intellectuals and spiritual gurus to keep targeting whichever platforms we move onto 🙏

I've got the haunts. And the only prescription is more pumpkins and ghosts and spooks and treats.
 

Thank you! Yes, I think anyone can learn just about any skill with enough time and effort. Sometimes it's bitter work, but the results are always (well, mostly) worth it.

Dating is over rated anyways. It's great if you find someone you care about and they care about you too. But it's so complicated and messy.
 
Feel ya on the traumatic experience. The first person I ever confessed to and they told me they felt the same ended up stringing me along while they were trying to choose between me and another guy. Saw some red flags but I was too naive and blinded by what I wanted. In a good/bad way I never trust anyone now. 
 
I'm sure it's different for girls but I've had generally good experiences using dating apps. Biggest problem I've ran into as a guy is girls telling me they're "actually too busy to date but have an account just out of curiosity." And being cat-fished. It also definitely matters which one you use. Different apps for different folks ranging from "Tinder: looking for a fvck buddy" to "Hinge: looking for something serious". Not saying that any one app has an exclusive type of audience but you're just more likely to come across certain types of people in one app vs another.
 
I've actually had some of the deepest conversations I've ever had with people I've met on dating apps. I'm even still friends with one girl I ended up meeting IRL and we'll end up commenting on each other's insta stories from time to time. It really is a crapshoot though. Like 90% of the time it will be a waste of time, but you do meet some cool people.
 
If it makes you feel better I'm sure nearly everyone on the forum has gotten the same response from people for their interests haha. It's different cause she's family, but my sister ALWAYS makes fun of me for listening to music that doesn't "match" my personality. When I listen to rap and hip/hop she'll be like "Oh, you think you're cool now?" 😂

What a fool. I used to think vine was cancerous...if only we knew what horros tiktok would bring

It looks like we have a clear winner, but I'll let the poll run over till the weekend at least.
 
Next trade off will probably  be one where we assign each other themes because I really like that idea too
 

My family doesn't really celebrate Christmas anymore. My sister and I live across the country from my parents so plane tickets always cost a good amount. Since I've moved to the east coast I think my sis and I've been back home for Christmas once in 3 years. We don't do much festivities but we do like to be together and enjoy spending time with each other (usually exploring new bakeries or cooking each other new recipes we've learned since being apart. So basically, just food haha). 
 
To that effect, we're pretty chill on the whole gift giving activity. My parents love coffee so my sister and I will probably buy them some new mugs and coffee. I honestly don't want anything. I end up buying stuff I like for myself anyways, lol. 
 
Hopefully nice! I let a lady at the post office cut in front of me this year lolol

Not doing anything different for the holidays, just lots of food on christmas day and hanging out with mom and sister on the bank holidays. 
 
In terms of gifts, I'm hoping to receive a book voucher and some moisturiser. I received my main gift yesterday which was a food processor  couldn't wait any longer to try it out (also this is when you know you're an adult™️, asking for kitchen appliances over of anything else).
 
I already told all my friends that I won't be getting them gifts and they shouldn't get me anything either cuz everyone's broke this year but I know one friend got me something anyway, so I'll probably bake her some cookies in exchange. I got a beautiful handmade journal made of recycled paper and Saris from India and some flower stickers for my mom and a couple of enamel pins, stickers and a crystal for my sis. This year I aimed to shop local (or from small businesses) and not from amazon whenever I can, so I think that puts me on the 'nice' list, right?

We're almost there, the year drawing to a close and hopefully a few days where we can forget about how bad everything has been and without further adieu 
 
How are you spending the holidays? (What holiday are you celebrating?) What presents are you hoping to receive? What presents are you planning to give? Have you been naughty or nice? (Feel free to answer as many or as few as you like)
 
I'm at home with the parents, we're going to my sisters to see the whole family because the UK restrictions are being relaxed. As for gifts, I've mostly asked for CD's and books so hopefully I'll be spending some time enjoying Hide with spread beaver and reading some Junji Ito classics.
 
I've picked up some toys for my nephews, skincare for my niece (very sad realising she's grown up and isn't content with dolls or colouring pencils anymore) and crafting items and books for the parents.
 
Lastly, I'm confident in saying I'm on the nice list!

BRO YOU TAKE COMMISSIONS?

I always thought drawing was hard but with patience, time and dedication you can get on the level you expect 
Whats hard is pouring your thoughts just the way you're thinking it and no many practices or experience in the world would ever compensate that 
So good job keep it up! 

@plastic_rainbow - Thanks for your kind words! It really made my day ☺

it's all confetti
 

 
I'm bad at drawing feet. It was taking too long. I didn't care.

I used to be neck deep in love for vkei, pure DEG and GazettE stan. Now, these days I listen to lots of pagan folk metal or ambient music. WHAT. HAPPENED.
 
Most people on the forum, probably:
 

don't know if i said this before, but i really love your simple and clean style! looking at your art feels very refreshing~

@platy
 

Help choose the theme for the next trade off!
 
Also feel free to suggest some others, however the one with the most votes will be the theme for the upcoming December music trade off. 
 
Please try to vote only if you plan to participate.
 
For new comers, a trade off is a forum wide event where participants are paired up and deliver a mix tape centered around a theme to each other. (it's a lot of fun and a way to share the music you love, pls feel free to join)
 
Poll closes in a week.

@CAT5 @ghost @monkeybanana4 could I interest you in a trade-off? ^__^
