okay, I'm crowdsourcing advice for a minute, so bear with me and please lend some words if you have any:
I want to get out of the house more. Like, on a regular basis. Weekly, maybe. Preferably, I would like to be interacting with people—the same people—every time, for... like... accountability, but also because I am hoping to put myself out there as the 21st century's most neurotic platonic Casanova. Uh. Making a friend or more out of this would be desirable. But I think if I go out with the intention of making a friend, I will be disappointed.
So. I want to go do something, for that something's own sake. I don't want to go be fake once a week hoping to get a friend out of it.
However, the beautiful state of Iowa is a bit cultureless, and I am too introverted and easily overwhelmed for this world (e.g. going to bars is probably not gonna be my thing). So.... I guess.... any suggestions? opinions? thoughts on making friends in general, or finding good activities as an introverted adult, in general?
oh yeah, also: I am poor. that's a factor. so. signing up a class or similar is not a great option right now.
what the heck, I'll add a silly poll for fun:

So, according to Martlet, monsters seem to be able to emanate the battle themes, and she's unsure of if Clover can here them. Since they're a monster now, what would their theme be? Would it be a regular "(blank) Approaching" or would it be more unique?
Obviously the easiest answer would be Enemy Retreating since that's the closest to a "Clover Battle Theme" that we're gonna get but uh, I don't think it would work for Monster Clover given the whole murder themes related to it.
Maybe it'd include a mix of Martlet, Starlo and Ceroba's themes (Protocol, Showdown!, Some Point of No Return, A Mother's Love)? Maybe Dalv's too?
I'm not asking you to make one, but I just wanna know how you think it'd probably sound. I'm definitely leaning more towards the mashup one since their Monster body is a mashup of their friends.
oh this is such a fun question!!
i also think it would be a mashup! buuut i think the songs they would steal from would be birds of a feather, showdown, some point of no return, and vigorous terrain.
birds of a feather; one of martlets themes but it has a matching song as well (flock together). the saying fits the theme of friendship clover and martlet have!
showdown/some point of no return: the best starlo/ceroba themes that i think would fit
vigorous terrain: cowboy :]
i think some aspects of enemy retreating would stay; all the monsters themes usually have some kind of leitmotif that goes through ALL their songs no matter the route. so some of it would be in there!
i think it would be named something like “Harbringer of Justice”, but in a fun lighthearted way :]
iiiif there were a no mercy route, i think their theme names would be “All’s Fair” and “In Love and War”, and they would take motifs from trial by fury, retribution, justice (that was a rlly good idea i hadnt thought of!) and enemy retreating. but enemy retreating would be MUCH more prominent :) “All’s Fair” would be the first fight with them (normal form) and “In Love and War” would be a final battle with their Determined form!

If piepoe happend to be in the game, would they be a boss or a secret room in the hub world? I'm just curious :]
Definitely a secret room in the hub world!! It's actually where Piepoe exists in their own little universe, just in a hidden room within the tower. It'd be tricky to find but once it is found you can see her!!
(I'd also think if you taunted near him and his little children they'd all taunt with you as well!!) (Along with some sketches of other interaction ideas...!! Just for funs!!)

Amazing, take some of the side character demons from Evil Bound.
Vincie is a menace to Chuck and Chuck alone so in Hell, Chuck hexes his hand behind his back so that he isn't grabbed as much (and it's harder to pet him). Chuck is like the most irresponsible older sibling ever to demons though so Kelvin recruits him (as an older sibling vibe) to go help him get his ACTUAL older sibling from Earth. Chuck agrees. And then drags Vincie from Hell with them because no one else wants to babysit him and he refuses to unbind the hex just to re-hex when he returns to Hell.
In Hell, Kelvin actually doesn't appear much different than his human form! Like Kronos, the lines under his eyes are red in Hell but black on earth. Chuck however? In Hell he has wolf-ish ears and has a fur lining his neck (note the neck scars in human form). In addition to that he has four eyes in Hell (note the scars under his eyes in human form). Vincie just has horns in Hell. And! In Hell the hex doesn't have a silly looking "tied up" look, it's invisible unless Vincie strains it with movement and then its red text. But it shifts on earth to be visible.
Vincie's biggest agony for the entirety on earth is "dude it's colder here than in Hell I want a jacket to slip my arms into BUT I CANT BECAUSE IM BOUND".

Comfort Items
I dunno why but I feel like Gokkan would have stockpiles of preserved or ready-made food items for emergencies because it's a tundra so Rita would sometimes have cup ramen late at night while working. Himeno never had any bc why would the Queen of Ishabana eat that when she has servants available 24/7 that can whip something fast and simple for her? But she likes it after insisting on staying in Gokkan for a night while the two are working and was feeling peckish. The three would just chill and chat over some while Rita gets some last-minute work done lol

Yeah, this is a really weird ask, but have you heard of the fanfic Ivy and Freckle in Watered Daisies and, if so, what's your opinion on it?
i’ve definitely heard of watered daisies, hard not to when the fandom ( particularly reddit ) is so ‘traumatized’ by the work. i even gave it a read if i remember correctly due to my own curiosity, that and the other fic where rocky saves them. so i’m acquainted with it somewhat! as for my opinions, i don’t think i have any worth noting? while the fic is dark, i genuinely don’t think it’s that bad for a character death fic … the actual scary parts, aka the drowning, are only present in the last two-ish paragraphs -- and those parts are written extraordinarily well! but it’s still brief, leaving me rather curious as to why the fandom views it as such a dark and awful fic, especially when they could’ve just not read it at all? i think some fans just have a tendency to overreact, honestly, or maybe they’re just little kids who shouldn’t be engaging with lackadaisy at all, much less be reading such a triggering work! either way, the whole ordeal around watered daisies is as interesting as it is baffling.
the fic itself is fine! i do applaud someone writing something so different and going against the mold even if there was a risk of upsetting fans. the concrete shoes are a swell idea for a death fic as well, and my favorite part was actually within the end note, where they paraded what happened to freckle and ivy as an unsolved mystery. there’s a lot of creativity in the writing itself, and it’s by far the best dark fic i’ve seen for lackadaisy … although that’s not saying much, since there isn’t a lot of that type of fic in the tag anyway. but as i said, my opinions on this piece aren’t vast or anything. while i like aspects of the work and admire the bravery to post it, i don’t exactly mull it over outside of a ‘the reaction to this one work is insane!’ sort of thought. and sure, i actively enjoy dark topics in fanfic, but character death is one of many subjects i usually avoid, tag wise! so i don’t reread fics like that often, much less go looking for them … so overall? it’s just not for me.

Hello, I have a question about PiePoe! :) I'm just curious about what could possibly make her angry. I dunno if anybody has asked this yet so sorry if this has already been answered!
The biggest thing that makes her DOWNRIGHT ENRAGED is when harm is done to one of his crafted toppins...!
(Also, no need to apologize...!! It's perfectly okay :3🙏💓)

[☺ Skaro - The Shield of Shra'kt'alor☺]
1. [CHARACTER INFO]
OC NAME: Skaro
OC PRONOUS: He/Him
AUTHOR: Rook
2. [DIALOGUE]
1. Greeting message:
Do you have need of me?
2. Identify yourself:
I am Skaro of Shra'kt'lor, though I haven't called that place home in a long time.
3. Tell me about your Creche:
No creche, a monastery in the midst of Chaos. One of many. There isn't much to say. There we were trained, and there I learned to harness my psionic energy to better defend my mind and body, though I left to pursue a different path once that training was complete.
4. I need to know how you fight::
You may be expecting a monk, but the blade says otherwise. A fighter, then. But don't get too comfortable -- how many wizards do you know that can also swing a sword? I am a Zerth. I may prefer a blade to fists, but there is more to my fighting than meets the eye.
5. Can I ask a more personal question?
Not at the moment. I'm here on business.
3. [GRAPHICS]
4. [BONUS RESOURCES]
Skaro started life as Xa'rok's Dream Guardian, so you'll often see him in the Guardian's armor, but I got too attached to him, so he gets to exist on his own now, too.
In the AU in which he exists alongside Xa'rok as himself and not just the visage of a prisoner the Emperor once met, Skaro was born in Shra'kt'lor and became both a philosophical student of Zerthimon's and a practitioner of arcane-focused fighting, earning himself the honorary and hereditary title of Zerth. He has been around for quite some time -- age undefined but his physical body is somewhere in his 50s -- and in that time grown tired of the us against them mentality that keeps the gith people splintered instead of whole. He left Shra'kt'lor to follow this desire for unification, interplanar-traveled often, and found himself invited to and then a part of the sha'sal khou. He has been working with the organization for years and after meeting Xa'rok in his travels, brought them along into the fold. In this universe, he and Xa'rok are partnered and they continue Xa'rok's work alongside their work for the Sha'sal Khou, as some of their interests align.
