[promisedyou]

Hellooooo everyone, I hope you're all doing alright today☆

Anyway, I have the most important poll that you'll ever hear from me, so please make sure to pay close attention, okay? ♪

So, someone I know who just joined us in this app - his name's Leon, by the way! - told me that cats are inferior to dogs, so I want to hear from you guys what you think: Which is the superior creature? Cats or dogs?

Feel free to chat amongst yourselves too, this is meant to be a fun little debate. :)

( OOC: As the post denotes, feel free to reply, mingle and threadjack each other's replies! )

This is the saddest reply I've seen.

social relationships between humans are all about compromises
a person ends up conforming to their social groups likes & dislikes
they have to be careful how they see themselves
or suddenly be the brunt of jokes and teases
or end up being hurt
or hurting themselves b/c they feel they are broken
all b/c others think them wrong
so
why is it sad to prefer animals to humans

[storytelleroftime]

Cool it there edgelord. You may cut yourself on all that edge.

[lesinset]

bleeding for my art is life
and life is my art

[storytelleroftime]

Psssh. Nothin personnel, kid.

[lesinset]

never thought it was
just stating the obvs

[maskreant]

beautiful. perfect.

i won't disagree with you that animals really do enhance a person's life, but sometimes you'll find that gem in other people, too.

so are you a cat or a dog person?

[lesinset]

never met an animal i cant get along with tbh
people eh
people say im too scary or a mass murderer

[maskreant]

yeah. i haven't had the best experience with people, especially when i was a kid, but

[ WAIT

wait

wait............ this dude can get along with any animal? ]

that's a gift you have there. i think i get along with most animals, but some of them take longer to open up, but that's natural.

i'm still jelly though.

[lesinset]

i have one of those faces that look like im plotting death all the time
doesnt mean i am but it helps to keep random people trying to ask me out whenever i get dragged out by coworkers

a lot of people say im actually a cat in a people skin

yeah i guess it is maybe because i dont force animals to come to me or anything
letting them make up their mind is a good first step

i get jelly of people with people skills so guess its even that way

[maskreant]

there will be someone that finds your glower enticing. i hope you're ready for that, mister meow.

you don't seem too bad with people skills so far. that first step works well with some people, too.

[lesinset]

cross fingers
this
this is easy
face to face is harder

[maskreant]

everyone starts somewhere.

i wouldn't mind hanging out with you personally, if you're ever up for it.

[lesinset]

i guess
i dont go out a lot
except to the rescue shelter for the animals
or to play at the night club
or work
not sure if that is interesting to anyone else rly

[maskreant]

i help out the rescue shelter, too. i wonder how i haven't bumped into you yet.

but i also work at the cat cafe. it sounds like a place you would like?

[lesinset]

i dont go there as often as i want
i
never thought about going there

[maskreant]

what about now?

think of all the cats.

[lesinset]

i
y thinking about the cats now

[maskreant]

the cats would like to meet you.

meow.

[lesinset]

id like to meet them too

[maskreant]

stop by whenever you're free.

i promise you'll have a great time.
