HAPPY MLK DAY!!!!!
If you don't live in America, today is the day when many celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. for all the hard work he did to get equal rights for African Americans.
I'm sitting on the grey sofa typing this.

Chewing spearmint gum and wearing a cozy warm hat! And sitting at the big desk in our parlor that I use to do lessons/schoolwork on. I'm sitting on one foot in my chair because I'm too short. X,D

@Leafpool also relatable. I'm average height for my age, but I feel so short because all of the people around me are really tall.

Enjoying my snow day!!
Agent Winter, we also got a ton of snow here. And its sooo cold here... like - 10 degrees or something.
So I'm just staying cozy inside!

It was 6 degrees here earlier! And we went sledding. And I almost froze my fingers off. Yep.

Typing out this comment, petting Luna (a dog) while she occasionally attempts to lick my face, playing Fortnite. My cousin and I are taking turns each round.

Trying to avoid doing my math homework. Typing this but knowing I am going to have to do my homework anyway.
I actually really like math class, but I hate my math homework.
coyotedomino, Fortnite? I am not a huge fan of Fortnite, to put it lightly.
Aaand my computer just timed out (I'm not typing this on said computer, clearly), so I guess I better go do my homework...
Bye!

Ah, don’t hate on it for no reason. I get why you may dislike it, the hype and obsessive idiocy about it on the internets can be rather annoying. And people like, say, MaximilianMus give it an even worse name. But it’s actually a rather good game. It has the classic “shoot everything to ded” element, but it also has the really cool mechanic of building and actually has a pretty smug sense of humor about it. The designers often make things almost mockingly cartoonish and it’s pretty funny. The grappling guns work with plungers, for example.
Anyway. Please don’t hate on something without real reasons. If you do have reasons, well, I’m eager to hear them. Actually.

I gotta agree with Kitten, I’m not a huge fan either, mostly because of all the hype. I have a natural tendency to dislike super-popular things simply because they’re super-popular (I know it’s not a good reason, but that’s my usual instinct). Also, the fact that my brother is obsessed with it and plays it hours and hours a day and talks about it all the time doesn’t help. It’s very annoying to say the least, so that’s also gotten Fortnite on my bad side. I’m not a huge video game person in general, so I don’t play much myself, but I will admit that it's alright now and again. It's definitely well-made, I’ll give them that.

Ah. See, I do have reasons.
Fortnite encourages its players to kill other player's avatars (right?), which is a mindset I generally disapprove of. Additionally, when your avatar virtually kills the other avatar, you are awarded dance moves so you can celebrate your kills. And you compete with other players for how many kills you can get. Pretty much, my problem is with the idea that killing and death is something to be happy about.
And the other reason I don't like Fortnite is that I associate it with certain people at my school who play it and whom I don't like. I acknowledge that this is a bad reason, but it is one.
I haven't actually ever heard of MaximilianMus, but I'm guessing he's an online personality?

Okay, for your first point, I see what your saying, but like at least 50% of video games center about death and/or violence. And Fortnite is a lot better than most, it’s very cartoonish. When am avatar dies, it’s zapped away by a hologram machine thingy. And the dances, by the way, are a very small part of the game. Skins, or costumes, are a much more coveted award. Most people use them more for dancing at their teammates than mocking their victims, though I admit that’s not uncommon.
And, well, humans have a morbid curiosity. We have always been and probably always will be fascinated by death. It’s a logical thing to capitalize off of, though I can understand your distaste.
Okay to reason two.
And yeah, MaxMus is a YouTuber. He’s rather... Toxic. He plays Fortnite just to troll people. Ugh.

I don’t think Fortnite’s that bad. It’s actually fine. I mean just cause I’m not really interested in it doesn’t mean it’s bad. But I don’t really know tho. xD

Ey, same.
