heyyyy been forever!! hope you're good

Happy Christmas friend. I’ve missed you so much

nothing rn, what about you???

Oh yeah, back to what we were talking about the other day re: genderless pets - Grundo’s Cafe actually lets you create them! :o I found out today when making Grubbins’s three new schoolmates: I didn’t wind up using that option for any of them but it is so cool that they have the option to do that. I like that they have options for “other”-gendered and explicitly non-binary pets so that users have a bit more flexibility. Oh yeah, if you want to join hang on to that referral code: it’s the only way you can join (since it’s in closed beta) and AFAIK I don’t actually get any rewards for referring anyone. Anyway I should go on here more, there’s some Fireside items I still want to snag

I wonder what would happen if you painted a genderless pet Royal though; are they automatically set to either the royal girl/boy options or do you get to choose? Or does it even allow you to paint them? 🤔 I wanted to paint one of Grubbins’s schoolmates Royalboy and that really got me thinking haha

Hehehe, when I think of “Devin” I just think of Dennis lol. Yeah she’s really sweet, when I reminded her what your actual name is, she asked if you liked crows and I told her about your love for cows and how the ones in Switzerland reminded me of you.

Chem revision is going okay; I’m struggling a tad with some enthalpy questions but with a full day to review for my notes I think I’ll get a lot done. My friend A.J. was really helpful with clarifying some of my answers; we’ve been sharing chemistry notes throughout the year and that’s been going really nicely!

Don’t worry too much about Grubbins btw - I took him to the Neohospital to get his shots and now he’s a healthy grub, albeit a bit sore. He’s ready for another day or wurmschool after he rests 🐛📚

I’m happy you’ve been feeling we’ll! And hehehe what a coincidence, I know the effects of manliness essence aren’t always fun to deal with but it’s all worth it in the end y’know? Going off of your description that portrait must’ve been quite detailed - did it have a little cap too?

Idk what will happen at the strawberry fete - I’m guessing something crop-related? - but that sounds like it’ll be a lot of fun. Farm-fresh strawberries are the best; I had some when I went with my friend Brent to visit the farmer’s market and they were so juicy and full of flavour. I wonder what kinds of fun things you’ll be able to do there :0 have a great day!!
