things to know

i'm 24 years old, and i live with my partner and our pets. we have cats, snakes, and mice (the mice are companion animals, not snake food).

i accidentally overlook maratalk messages a lot, so maramail is the best way to reach me. i like maratalk for chatting and other things that aren't time-sensitive.

i'm always willing to lend my pets! just keep in mind that digested and ice_cream_baby have fees over 1 mil. if you need them for missions or something else with a time limit, please maramail me and mention how long you have left.

i play marapets on my phone, and i'm always logged in, so my online status may be deceptive. i'm in central time, but sometimes i stay up until mara-midnight. & i might be making dinner around 4-7pm.

my browser has kind of screwy “are you sure you want to buy this” popups – they tend to vanish instead of letting me click them. i usually try to keep my mp on hand under 400k, so i'm not accidentally buying photos i already have left-and-right. (this also means i get auction striked constantly, so i'm sorry if i do that to your auction; i'd rather pay 50k for auction strikes than repeatedly buy 500k photos.)

my social battery takes a while to recharge, so i may not be able to chat with you - especially because i'm often on marapets to recover from socializing! also, i prefer to talk to people around my age. if you have teachers that are younger than me, it can feel pretty awkward.

　

pet goals

i've already accomplished some of these, but i figured a list could be fun! many are super easy, but as a newbie it was fun to have casual goals like the recycling costume. a lot of my unlisted pets are just because they were too easy, or because they're happy operations portal accidents

F U T U R E
make [undecided] an eleka / insideout justin (working towards a maker myself! should take under 6 months...)
make chrysopoeia a gold zola ? (not interested in buying now; waiting until i pull a maker from the machine myself or the price goes down again)
make leonardo a mad scientist ike / viotto ?

P R E S E N T
...actually draw my pets.

aside from that, none right now! i was rushing to get my achievable goal pets after joining so they'd benefit from the “all your pets gain x stats” rewards, so now i'm just working on the pets i have.

P A S T
recycled doyle named makino (the priest from siren)
mad scientist kidlet named leonardodemontreal (from chuubo's)
injured doyle named [changed to miyata to match makino]
zombie kidlet named bisect (she's the front half of a goat! hilarious.)
candle limax named secrete
bug quell named hesychasm
arcade xoi named unicode
mutant ideus named liturgy
fairy gobble named chuubo (can't have leonardo without also having Chuubo Himself)
insideout poera named ritualize
royal nino named arcanum (i was looking at royal pet colors for the goal, and royal ninos are just so cute...)
school jessup named rationalist
thunder figaro named qualia (but i was taking photos of some different figaro colours first, and ended up liking her even more in the staff costume, so...the thunder costume will go on her brother noema instead!)
slime kronk named digested (formerly ushunda)
