P H I L O S O P H E R & H E R E T I C grayson 24 ♂
on hiatus, which is why my outfit is
so outdated. i go through periods of
having lots of freetime, and then being
really busy, so i'm usually either on
mara daily or not at all.
i'm 24 years old, and i live with my partner and our pets. we have cats, snakes, and mice (the mice are companion animals, not snake food).
i accidentally overlook maratalk messages a lot, so maramail is the best way to reach me. i like maratalk for chatting and other things that aren't time-sensitive.
i'm always willing to lend my pets! just keep in mind that digested and ice_cream_baby have fees over 1 mil. if you need them for missions or something else with a time limit, please maramail me and mention how long you have left.
i play marapets on my phone, and i'm always logged in, so my online status may be deceptive. i'm in central time, but sometimes i stay up until mara-midnight. & i might be making dinner around 4-7pm.
my browser has kind of screwy “are you sure you want to buy this” popups – they tend to vanish instead of letting me click them. i usually try to keep my mp on hand under 400k, so i'm not accidentally buying photos i already have left-and-right. (this also means i get auction striked constantly, so i'm sorry if i do that to your auction; i'd rather pay 50k for auction strikes than repeatedly buy 500k photos.)
my social battery takes a while to recharge, so i may not be able to chat with you - especially because i'm often on marapets to recover from socializing! also, i prefer to talk to people around my age. if you have teachers that are younger than me, it can feel pretty awkward.
i find a lot of untaken names while brainstorming ideas for my own pets – so, inspired by all the other people who've done this, i'll put words i don't end up using here. if possible, let me know if you take a name.
note: i'm not sure if this will be an issue, because these are mostly obscure words and it's not like i'm the only one that could come up with them, but...i'd appreciate if you don't make these pets just to auction them. if i notice anyone doing that a lot, i'll probably remove this blog.

make chrysopoeia a gold zola? (not interested in buying now; waiting until i pull a maker from the machine myself or the price goes down again)
make leonardo a mad scientist ike / viotto?
P R E S E N T
...actually draw my pets.
aside from that, none right now! i was rushing to get my achievable goal pets after joining so they'd benefit from the “all your pets gain x stats” rewards, so now i'm just working on the pets i have.

partner: kynngi they told me to make an anime kaala, but i'll probably send them the plushie so they can have her! they're very busy and work fulltime at a vet clinic so they don't really play much yet.
mom: druzy i helped her come up with her username! but i got her hooked on cookie run and she's still focused on that : P
