Hello! I made one of these the first time I joined, but I don't think it'd be a good idea to necro that post back into existence. :^) Now that I'm back, I figured I'd make another so that we could get to know one another once again. Feel free to ask your local Mantine anything!
1. Mantine is my favorite Pokémon, yes! I guess it probably stems from me being a biology major (focusing on marine biology) and the fact that Manta Rays are my favorite animal. I've always liked Mantine, and while it may not be the best, it's definitely special to me. Especially ever since I attempted a solo run with it awhile back on Insurgence. 2. Tennis, I suppose? I've never been super into sports aside from when I did soccer as a kid. Nowadays if I ever want to do anything outside, it generally consists of mostly tennis and sometimes bike-riding. Unfortunately, there aren't many safe trails around here for biking. 3. I don't really have a favorite joke (and if I do it's a dumb pun), but if we're going towards meme territory, my favorite video is pretty dumb. Some guy comes out hunchbacked from behind a wall in a plague doctor outfit and says "I smell pennies" and that's about it. Not sure why I enjoy it so much, but I do. :^)
Did you make your profile picture? If so, what medium? Out of the Pokémon games you have played, which is your favorite?
1. Unfortunately, I didn't. This icon was made by artistic-ailurophile on Tumblr. 2. If we're talking in a general sense, then my favorite would be EoS mainly just because that was one of the very few games that I played a lot of as a kid. Secondly, it is PMD, between the soundtrack, story, and otherwise, I've always loved the mystery dungeon games - especially EoS. However, if we're talking about the main games, then Platinum would be my favorite. Platinum was probably the first game that I attempted to 100% and a lot of the Pokémon from that generation are some of my favorites, so the game as a whole is pretty memorable, at least to me. While Diamond and Pearl weren't great, I like to think that Platinum fixed a lot of the issues that those two games had. Maybe I should go back and play some Platinum. It's been awhile! 3. Typically, manta rays aren't terribly social. A lot of the time, if they're seen in groups it's either because of migration, what feeding conditions in the area looks like, or of course, mating. Mating is a big one, and one of the main times you'll see manta rays together. Otherwise, they're generally pretty isolated. This doesn't mean they never socialize though!
1. Honestly? I don't even remember. I know that Barbie was a thing, along with Webkinz, but aside from that, I'm not quite sure what else I had. 2. Noooot very long, but I'd think I'm pretty average? I can hold my breath around 40 seconds to a minute.
Any stupid things you were/are afraid of? Do you fall asleep easily? Do you usually go to sleep/wake up early or late?
