eunice whats your opinion on blueberries this affects my entire opinion of you btw

Wow this factor determines someone’s love for me………

Scary

Well i for one actually love blueberries and would argue tgat they’re thebbest friut

Omg

Fuck dude *Fruit

I can’t speak today damn

I think they’re like my favorite fruit honestly I like their color

I wonder if my fate is sealed

[ridged-the-blog]

to everyone: if you could have any superpower, which would you choose and why?

Powers??

Ummm

Oh maybe like something simple like strength because it gets the job done!!

Oh, um… I used to think invisibility would be good, but Robinne, um… convinced me manipulating light is kind of overpowered, haha

everyone else is wrong because manipulation of light surpasses literally every other power. dude, it includes speed, invisibility, illusions, lasers, like come on!

superpowers are stupid

Oh I wouldn’t call myself a hero! Maybe stretchy powers or something?

telepathy

ummm i would teleport maybe, that’d be cool

Maybe just teleportation likee Imagine if i just appeared soemwhere

“Oh where’s Eunice”

“She’s right in your fucking face man!!!”

I don’t want any powers honestly…

[ridged-the-blog]

for stella, alex and wozniak (together or seperate): what do you guys use to dye your hair? have you ever helped to dye each others / someone elses hair?

oh as if i’d even TOUCH stella

(Wow rude!)

and i mean i first did it myself w some real crappy dye i bought online

it smelled like garbage but it still worked

the next few times robinne helped me out

I do my own hair since i used to be a hairdresser actually!!

No idea what i use to dye it… i really need to re-dye it since the bleach and roots are coming in

I like how it looks with the roots like that actually

you would

The commentary isn’t necessary thanks

And you only like it because its pink

I like pink

Ja— I mean Wozniak actually dyed mine once before he stopped working

Beyond that it was other hairdressers since dyeing it myself sounds scary

dude what aren’t you scared of

Ignoring that

wow shes scared of answering my questions too. what a psycho!

[ridged-the-blog]

wodzniak are you filililililipino? 🤔☝️ and what do u tink of joker prsonae five 🖐️?

Yeah actually! I am!!!

I didnt think someone would point this out wow

Im half filipino from my dads side

The other half being vietnamese but im confused for being fully filipino sometimes

Also i think joker is such a cool character actually!! I love persona 5 a great deal and he is just a super cool protagonist!!

Thanks!!!

for everyone: whats your favorite place in qwerty and why?

*parties answered separately*

I like being in the more urban areas

The whole place is pretty suburban but it feels like a CITY city if you know where to look!

I go for a lot of walks at midnight, so I practically only know the city in the dark

I did JUST come back I like the pretty dormant areas where there’s nobody there

You can kind of just sit on a little ledge in the quiet I mean, that’s what I like personally

Why, are you planning on visiting? There’s really not much to see…

oh. um. y’know. i like… the… trees…? and the… the, um, house, that i live in. and the parks, sometimes. you, uh, you can easily find a cool place to go, i just, oh, i love every… every single part of it… i really can’t decide… haha… yeah. qwerty is great…

nothing, it sucks

I like the little cafes and stuff!

I think they’re really cute honestly (it’s sort of hard to find a “favorite” place here to me)

my room

my store obviously??? mostly because money

qwerty isn’t a great area really

Craaap i have no clue i meeeaannn

WAIT OMG I KNOW NOW so like there’s this one smoothie place by the hospital that is SO good actually

One of the best parts of Qwerty honestly but i wouldn’t say that to it’s face looolll

Hm, well, I think most every part of Qwerty is equal, but I enjoy any place I can be comfortable with the people I like most. I know that sounds sort of lame or whatever, and I do wish I had a better answer, but I can adapt anywhere, …I would hope.

can i know about eunice. can i have background info on eunice maybe please

why yes you can…..!!!!!!!!! eunicetastic !! 💜💜💜

eunice (trans woman, 22, 6’0, she/her) is a quiet, pragmatic, laid-back individual who, despite being somewhat reserved, can be quite hotheaded, sarcastic, impulsive, and is a real thrill seeker. she is in her senior year of college, and majors in fine arts, striving to be an artist in some way. currently, she has no consistent job, instead, she does… uh, rather odd jobs to make quick money, not really caring where it gets her. she often does things “just to do ‘em” and strives to live with purpose. eunice just wants an outcome. she is the youngest of the ridgewells, and sort of separates herself from her family name, despite loving her siblings dearly. she is an extrovert, yet very individualistic and likes being alone and in quiet environments. she doesn’t meld very naturally with any of the other characters besides hamilton. she lives her life from a myopic lens, and acts impulsively when provoked. she is very opinionated and stubborn, until emotionally swayed. she is extremely sensitive, sentimental, and emotional, but doesn’t really show it much. when her feelings are hurt, she might get defensive and her usual sarcasm starts cutting deeper. she isn’t quick to judge somebody, and even trusts people way too easily. she is desperate to live a fulfilling life all the way through, especially desperate to find a romantic partner. wozniak and her once dated, and her surprisingly rose-tinted view on the world began to crack slightly as wozniak respectfully ended the relationship, and she still resents him for it. she is extremely vulnerable and volatile and enjoys individuals who are also very quiet and reserved… who obviously share her love of extremely good music. she looks at the world with a strange childlike wonder that nobody else really has. a lot of people find her annoying and hard to understand, especially since she isn’t a big talker. she enjoys painting, smoking, drawing, listening to music and experimenting with her fashion choices. it’s hard to realize for many people, but she’s extremely, EXTREMELY nice and actually gives pretty good advice (whether she’ll follow that advice herself is a different story) she’s very witty, compassionate, and charismatic, she will help others even if she doesn’t actually care much about them. she tries seeing herself in everything and will empathize with whoever is around her to make them feel seen and i FUCKING love her 🎊🎊🎊 !!!!!!!! YEAAHHHHH

woz😮😮hi woz how's it been ?

Hey!!!

Im doing great thanks!!

Who is that?

Juno

(Dont mind him hes british)

Wozi…

Hehe

Did you just do parentheses with your hands? I can still hear you.

Shhhhh shut up no you cant

The gist is that yes im doing good thank you!!!!

[ridged-the-blog]

hi bloodrayne sorey i have nothing interesting to say hi bloodrayne hi

Hi, Juno

Don’t worry, I appreciate whatever you have to say to me

Im also here

You…

Okay

He’s also here

Hi!!

[ridged-the-blog]

BLOODRAYNE HAVE YOU EVER IMAGINED YOURSELF AS A GHOST BUSTER /GENQ /SILLY

Hi, Zuzu!

Umm

Well, no, actually

I don’t think of ghosts as something to be reckoned with

Meaning, like, I don’t try to “bust” ghosts per se

Ghostbusters as a whole is—

gol-ly, bloodrayne, is this another one of your nonsense spooky spiels?

I know what I’m talking about!

I swear on my grandmother’s green tea, I do!

Just Ghostbusters as a whole is sorta unrealistic, eh?

you’re insulting ghostbusters?!

I’m not insulting it!

But I mean, seriously!

Vacuums?

oh, here we go…

The use of vacuums imply that spirits are tangible beings

Which is just completely inaccurate

Ghosts are entities on an entirely different plane!

The entire methodology of the films bother me so much

Severe lack of temperature checks, audio recordings, electromagnetic fields, haha, I mean, seriously, the list goes on!

Also, the film shows ghosthunting to be some sort of blue-collar job, when in its actuality, the practice was always highly ritualistic and spiritually driven

There’s no burning sage, no real exorcisms, and most of all, no connection is even ATTEMPTED to be made with the damn ghosts!

Traditionally, ghosts only come to either

A.) Warn people

B.) Ask for help

Or C.) Seek revenge and closure!

The entire motive is off!

The whole “take over the world” thing is SO STUPID!

hehe, i love how passionate you get with these things.

Oh

Um

Uh, thanks…

…Robinne

Uh

Anyway

…

Oh, goddammit, what was I saying?

Ugh, nevermind…

[ridged-the-blog]

what are some of the canon birthdays? how do they like to celebrate, if applicable?

(parties answered seperately.)

My birthday is may 9th

I usually just go out with some of my friends to eat or just spend some time doing what i like

Feb 22nd, like said

Umm, not much

It’s kind of just a normal day for me

I don’t have many people to hang out with

25th of october. i’m 24! i like to just get some work done. usually, i develop any undeveloped photos, go for a hike, or just bike around. it’s a nice time of year so i’m able to do things.

2/2. i like going to whatever places that give free stuff if it’s ur birthday so i can just have like a crazy ton of free drinks and shit

June 19th and oh I never do much!

I like spending time with Eunice and Robinne though or just go about my day like usual

august 15 sometimes i go to a bar or something

january 19th.

ahh i dunno i mean i take the day off from work usually. i sometimes go out for karaoke with friends which is usually pretty cool. theres not usually any raves or anything near then so that pretty much limits my excitement for the day.

September 13th every year hopefully hahah

Ohhhhh i meaaaannn like i don’t reallt DO anythinh for my bday I just stay home unless i have class

If i have class then the day plays out like a normal one

Oh but someteims stella makes this tiramisu for my bday which is like.So good dude

June 21st. And, well, not much. I tend to spend time with a friend. I WOULD spend time with family in lieu, but I don’t talk to my father, and my sister lives out of the state. Oh, but y’know, I’m not a very celebratory person. I do more for others’ birthdays. My own just feels more like a hassle.

[ridged-the-blog]

ray how tall is wonziak

5’11

Did… he tell you he was 6 foot?

Ugh, why does he do that?

are you talking about jasper?

Yeah

Uh, supposedly he said he’s 6 foot

i thought he was 5’11?

He is

that’s stupid!

he’s closer to 5’10 than he is to 6’0. eunice is 6’0 and he’s shorter than her...

woz says that shit to impress ppl just ignore it

um, hehe, alex… no offense, what do YOU know about height?

Hehe

ok great job guys. real nice

as if saying “no offense” would make it any less offensive to me

[ridged-the-blog]

What is Woz's

1, favorite movie

2, favorite band

3, what's fhat funky little guy's height... 🤔

4, favorite food

Haha!! Awesome!!

1. Favorite movie is tough honestly

Robinne and i watch a lot and theyre much more… critical i would say?? But i just like anything really

But if i had to choose, like a gun to my head scenario…

Maybe ocean’s eleven??

It’s a classic to me

Is that a basic pick, i have no idea

2. Band????

Youre asking the right guy dude i LOVE music

Yknow if i had to choose i would say blur

BUT if i wanted something a little more classic i would say tears for fears

3. Im 6 ft and i will die on that hill

Dont listen to what anyone says im 6 ft

4. LUMPIA definitely!!!

I always made it with my dad and its so nostalgic to me

I make it a lot for my mom at home

If you dont know what it is, its a type of filipino egg roll and its really good

5. (bonus) I like the image here, i quite like cats if i do say so myself

[ridged-the-blog]

bloodrayne when's yur birthday ?

(to mod: does it mean anything at all or is it just a random date ?)

February 22nd

Triple two!

[ridged-the-blog]

yknow, bloodrayne, im super into paranormal stuff too ! i heard yu like that. I've always been into paranormal and ghosts and Halloween. i cant help but notice how similar we are! hi sorry if this sounds odd im like half asleep it's 3 am for me

Oh my God, YES

I’ve always been super into that sort of thing

When I was in junior high, I did a lot of research on paranormal stuff that intrigued me

Which primarily was a lot of unexplained historical phenomena

My mom shares these interests with me, and Woz thinks I got these things FROM my mom, but I actually put in the effort to research these things

Ugh, nobody EVER believes me!

Ghosts are totally real, Juno

I’ve… definitely seen one

Probably

And Halloween I mostly like because all my interests come together in a day embracing it!

I’m glad we share this interest!

ALSO ALIENS ARE REAL LOOK UP THE DISAPPEARANCE OF FREDERICK VALENTICH!!!!!

…Hah!

And they say I’m “superstitious!”

[ridged-the-blog]

RAY'S NAILS ARE SUPER COOL OK BYE

Oh, uh… thanks, Juno!

I mean, I don’t, like, get them done or anything…

wait girl are those your REAL nails??

Oh, uh, yeah?

damn theyre so sharp

i thought they were acrylics or smth

No, they’re real

I just sharpen them and keep them real long in case somebody tries hurting me so then I can scratch them and keep their DNA under my nails

…oh

right ok

because that’s a normal thing to do

[ridged-the-blog]
