@Cunechan Many, many, many things, but if I had to narrow it down I'd say closed-mindedness.
I've grew up seeing pretty much everything as one big grey area, so it's really frustrating when people see things as either 100% right or wrong. It seems like it's getting more and more common, too. For a lot of people I know, as soon as they latch onto an idea, nothing else matters. Even when problems with a way of thinking or doing something are obvious, it's like they care more about feeling like they're right rather than actually knowing the truth.

Are you someone who likes to tell the truth bluntly... like just say it without dodging around the truth or something. I remember there's something of a quote regarding this, but I don't remember it. Sad life is sad.
If a friend came to you and told you all about a fatal health problem then how would you feel and what would you do?
Today I saw a teen. A dead cat was in the middle of the street. The teen hit the dead cat when he crossed the street. I really had a desire to jump over the fence and go have a word with the kid. A very rough word involving beating. I really wanted to take that large stick I had in my yard and kill that kid. How would you have felt if you were in a situation like that or witnessed something like that and what would you have done?
I'm devastated that I didn't actually do nothing.

It depends on the situation.
If someone asks for a critique of their work/idea/etc., then I'm not going to hold back. I think the best way to help someone improve is to be as honest about the problems as possible. However, if I'm at a funeral or something, I'm not going to go up to someone grieving and say "Actually, that guy was kind of a dick.".
To be honest, I used to skirt around giving real feedback in order to avoid hurting feelings, but I figured out over time that doing so really didn't help anyone.
Well, I'd probably be a blubbering baby as soon as they're not around, but I'd just try and be there for support as much as I can.
Depends on if you mean I saw you beating the shit out of a kid with a stick, or the kid who ran over the cat. If it was the former, I'd call the police. If it was the latter, I'd also call the police, but I'd ask what happened and give some kind of "Oi, you should've been more careful" speech in the meantime.
(@everybody: I put a few bullet points about me in the first post in case you want some ideas of what to talk about)
Ahh, thing is, I'm allergic to cats. I wouldn't have the motivation to beat up the kid.
I tried drinking coffee for about a week, but it really didn't do much for me. At the time I drank it only with a bit of milk, and it was about a cup or two a day. I'm not a caffeine person.
I try my best to give a fuck about very few things.

I sure do! I've always been into reading and writing (mostly essay format, though - no short stories), and I solve the crossword puzzle every day. I've always found it fascinating how you can often tell who wrote something based on how they word their phrases.
Just two! I speak English, of course, as well as French.
Hmmm... there aren't too many things I'm afraid of, but oddly enough heights bother me a lot more than they did when I was younger. When I was a kid, though, I used to terrified of spiders and thunderstorms.
Outside of artwork I enjoy going on hikes, cooking, baking, and generally hanging around with others. It doesn't matter much to me if it's online, in-person, or over the phone or something. I'm just happy to communicate with others.
I'm jealous because I'm STILL terrified of thunderstorms. Mostly the thunder part. I hate loud noises. But I see...You have lots hobbies!
Do you consider yourself an extrovert? Since you really enjoy people in general.
What do you like doing when you're hanging out with others?
Do you accept surprise adds on Discord and Steam and such?
What do you like to cook the most?
Are you an active person in general?

Honestly, even rain used to freak me out. A tornado hit my neighborhood when I was very young, so I was always paranoid of it happening again. Let's see....
- Yes and no! I think the term for that is ambivert, or something similar. I'm always happy to be around others, but at the same time I'm also very comfortable with being on my own. Sometimes I have issues with sensory overload, so I try and avoid large crowds most of the time.
- Oh, just about anything. Sometimes friends and I help each other out with homework, sometimes we'll play video games or take a walk, and sometimes we go out and play mini-golf.
- Yup! I'm active on Discord more often than Steam, but I'm fine with anyone adding me on either.
- I tend to enjoy fairly simple foods, so I'd say grilled vegetables.
- Generally, yes. I don't like sitting in one place for long periods of time, so I take a lot of random walks (even just around my room). Sometimes my suite-mates will catch me trying to walk around while drawing on my laptop.
Sensory overload- I know that well! That gives me more questions actually.
1) What is your strongest sense, and what's your weakest? (I know it sounds like a weird question)
2) What's your favorite of each sense- IE, your favorite sound to hear in general (or favorite song), favorite scent...those kinds of basic things.
3) What do you mean by a suitemate? What kind of place do you live in, a hotel? :o
And expect me to add you now kthx xD

1) I think my strongest would be hearing - it's usually what causes the sensory overload, in my case. I always seem to pick up on murmuring in crowds or other background noises like that, and it makes me very anxious/aggitated at times. For example, my room has this constant whirring from the air conditioning, and it puts me on edge if I pay too much attention to it.
My weakest sense is definitely smell. A lot of times I won't be able to smell something unless it's either right in my face or fills up the entire room.
2) Hmm... that's a tough one!
- Sight: I don't know if there's anything specific I like to see, but color-wise I always find grey, white, and yellow patterns to be very pleasing to the eye.
- Hearing: Ah, just music in general is pleasing to me. There are very few genres or instruments that I don't like. I think my favorite to listen to would be the harpsichord.
- Taste: I like a lot of those palette-cleansing food. Things like ginger and lemon are right up my alley.
- Touch: Here's a weird one - I really enjoy the feeling of moving my hand over metal bars, like chain-link fences, or those metal covers for fans. For instance, if I'm walking by a fence or something, a lot of times I'll hold my hand out and drag it along.
- Smell: Hmm... I'd say my favorite smell comes from any of those menthol/eucalyptus products. It's a very "clean" smell, so I like using face washes with that kind of scent.
3) Ah, by suite-mate I mean the people who share the same living area as me, but stay in a different room. I live in one of my university's dorm rooms. Basically it's set up so 4 people share a suite (living area/bathroom/kitchen),with 2 people staying in each bedroom. I just happen to not have a roommate this semester. - Hearing: Ah, just music in general is pleasing to me. There are very few genres or instruments that I don't like.

Strong hearing and weak smell...Are we secretly related?! (Silly question is silly, don't feel obligated to answer). I hear 10x louder than average and have no sense of smell. Thank you for teaching me through your similarities :D
What kind of material is your desk made out of? Or whatever holds your computer. Question thought of by way of your mention of liking the feel of metal. (Funny fact, I hate the feel of metal. Or rather, knowing it's metal. I've convinced myself my entire laptop is plastic because I'm almost phobic of metal for some reason...But not phobic.)
Another 'material' question...What kind of mattress do you use?
And finally...What's it like sharing a 'suite'? The only time I stayed in a dorm, I had my own room and the only thing everyone shared was bathrooms (because it was a college dorm for a summer camp I was staying at, and everything else wasn't even related to the dorm. xD)

Oh wow! I didn't expect we'd be so similar in that regard
!!!Ahh - all of the furniture in my room is provided by my school, so my desk is a laminate/wood material and my mattress is one of those cheap-o spring ones. I put a foam cover on it to be more comfortable.
I don't think sharing a suite is for everyone, but I enjoy it! Everyone shares the same living space, but we all go off and do our own thing. One of my suite-mates is usually in her room studying, another is usually watching anime in the living area, and I'm usually out wandering around campus or something. I think the most difficult part is figuring out when to take a shower, since there are three us of sharing one bathroom.
Dragons are my rivals, despite clearly being the inferior giant reptile. If I met another one, I would do the same as I did with the last - beat it in a game of Pictionary on Tabletop Simulator.
- I'm partial to the Apatosaurus. I think they're super cute, as far as giant reptiles go.
- I shower every day, but only wash my hair every 1-2 days. It's very thick, and gets really dry if I'm washing it all of the time.
- I'm studying digital animation and 3D modeling.
- As of right now I use Maya 2017. I also use Blender, though.
- I have long hair - I've been growing it out for quite a while now.
- He doesn't have a name or anything, but this character is one of the ones I've designed:
That epic black/white art style looks oddly familiar to some I've been drooling over on DA...Hrm. Probably a fluke.
1. What do you think of Blender? (as an attempted user that can't handle it, I'm curious what you skilled people think of it).
2. What do you want to do with the 3D models you make?
3. Can I name him or something? He looks cool and needs a name. I feel bad he doesn't have one.
