How many of you actually kissed Venus

[knockyouout]

Please describe your kissing skill, use of hands, and oral hygiene

Re: How many of you actually kissed Venus

[pleaseloveme]

Eli: he was very nervous and didn't know what to do with his hands, but he's a better kisser than you'd think. Sweet and polite.

Zinnia: aggressive kisser!!! did a lot of clothing grabbing!!! maybe pushed Venus against a wall!!! She sucked on a sugary lavender mint on the way over.

great times at great clips

[highercalling]

things my barber has said to me in the last 10 mins
- "i love going to whorehouses in mexico"
- "i used do a lot of drinking and driving, man"
- "i've almost died maybe 14, 15 times"
- "slipknot (the band) plays some good shit, but also, their LPs got demons in them. that's why the music industry is so fucked"
- "there's only one station on the radio that's right with God"
- "harry potter teaches children it's okay to cast spells, so my son can't bring it in the house"

Counting Battle Stats again

[harmreduction]

Everything's still pretty even, although rage is the most common ailment susceptibility by a pretty wide margin (9, where everything else is 3-5).

Swords and Cups tend towards speed, Wands tend towards strength, and Coins tend towards stamina and balance.

Air is both the most common affinity (by a nose) and the least common weakness (by a lot!).

Wands are far more likely than any other house to be weak to charm.

Cups tend to be weak to fire&lightning, and Swords tend to be weak to earth&stone, but Coins and Wands are pretty evenly split in their weaknesses.

Re: Counting Battle Stats again

[adamho]

Hrmmm. Maybe I should change Adam's... He's pretty good at Rage on his own, anyway.

Also this is super interesting??? :O Thank you for going through it!

Sad

[heliocentrist]

When your kitty does a big cry and the doctor says you can't sleep with him

Re: Sad

[harmreduction]

those are crocodile tears

I’m sorry!!!!

[opalescents]

I have not touched the new characters on the intro meme or really interacted with them on their posts and it’s not because I don’t love them all it’s because I’m a big loser who didn’t finish her app and put myself on timeout in that meme til I did so. The good news is I have only to write a personality section?
The bad news is I still won’t get around to intros til after this weekend bc I’m stuck hanging with some other nerds.
This is an incredibly self centered announcement I am slowly realizing but basically I’m sorry I fail, your new kids are all beautiful, and someday I too will know them

Re: I’m sorry!!!!

[mudskipper]

10/4 volunteers needed

[exgrifter]

this evening on the Coins dorm floor, Tal Mitchell walked up to Zinnia Howe and socked her in the face. the two girls then immediately started fighting and yelling at each other until people pulled them apart

who's willing to break up the fight???? (and probably also report it to staff although i have already notified the mods fyi)

Finchwood Pinterest

[knockyouout]

Hey guys! Like our general Gooseberry board, I made a communal board for Finchwood memes, aesthetic stuff, etc.

Everyone's invited to contribute but because Pinterest sucks, to add you guys I need to know your display name and what your icon looks like. I tried to get everyone last night but I was too drunk. If you link to your profile here I can find you and add you.

Re: Finchwood Pinterest

[droppedyoursmile]

idk how to use pinterest so maybe you already got me but!!! i am @ schmaliens with my perfect dog licking my face icon.

Plot Request: Senior for Meredith to have a weird unrequited crush on

[expansivemind]

Merry's one of those characters that is going to have a lot of super intense crushes that she pesters incessantly and then forgets about abruptly and I'd like to get the ball rolling on that in time for Halloween. Would any seniors not mind having a small pretentious weirdo nipping at their heels for a few weeks?

Re: Plot Request: Senior for Meredith to have a weird unrequited crush on

[unremittent]

uh? how about? let her have a good crush instead?

God, make me stop procrastinating. I need to do a deep dive into my characters' psyches tonight.

Re: SHADOW POST?!?!?
