Silly Game Time: The classic gryphon/griffin has the head and front talons of a golden eagle and the body and back paws of a lion. Sometimes it also has an eagle's wings. But today ... we're going to change things up by combining a different bird with a different cat for some grifFUN! [pause for laughter/booing]
Which kinds do you choose? Attach a photo of each so people can get a sense of how your gryphon/griffin looks!
(If you don't know varieties of birds or cats well enough to choose, try using a Random Letter Generator, and then search for "birds/cats that start with [your letter]" until you find one you like. Or one that'd look messed up. Whichever.)
Birman Cat and Peregrine Falcon
Silly Game Time: In honor of the 400th SGT, I'm bringing back what is my favorite question: Pick one of your favorite stories (movies, shows, books, games, or etc.) and summarize it in *one* sentence. The more absurd-sounding the sentence is, the better!
She runs away from her family for male validation, then ends marrying a guy who seems to be bisexual afterwards.
Silly Game Time: I grant you the power to escape any unwanted interaction by use of a magic word. Whenever the word is spoken, you will disappear from your present location and reappear in the nearest public restroom that is at least 1/2 of a kilometer (or about 1/3 of a mile) away.
Which word will you use (keep in mind that the magic will activate whenever anybody or anything in your presence uses it)? And what will be the visual effect of your disappearance and reappearance?
Warrior and the effects would be that when I disappeared black smoke will surround on both sides of me then all of the sudden suck me into the darkness like a black and same thing for when I reappear except it pushes me out instead sucking me in.
Silly Game Time: Okay, the bad news is that your reality is basically a simulation and tomorrow the OS is being updated so that everyone will have visible marks across the back of their hands similar to tattoos. I guess the operators think it'll look cool? *shrug* Dunno what to tell you.
The good news is that the process will be automatic, painless, and you get to choose your marks, no matter how intricate or simple (provided you choose something that covers the back of your hand and is distinctly visible; otherwise, it'll be randomly assigned). So what kind of mark(s) are you choosing?
A big spiral and Saturn.

Silly Game Time: COMPLETE THE PHRASE! "Everybody knows it takes two to tango. But not many know it takes three to ___."
waltz."
Silly Game Time: WEIRD GLADIATOR FIGHTS! Michelangelo, a renaissance sculptor who worked in marble to produce human-sized statues, and illegally disected corpses to teach himself human anatomy. He's armed with two mallets, a sharp chisel in his belt, and so much murderous rage because the Pope keeps insisting *he paint stuff* even though *he's a sculptor*, damn it! VS Caravaggio, a renaissance painter who liked to brawl (or maybe a brawler who liked to paint?) and probably murdered 3 people (at minimum). He's armed with a walking stick, a dagger, and a plate or artichokes. Also, he's fighting for another pardon for murder from the Pope.
You have $5 to wager on the winner (no split wagers). Place your bets!
I'm betting on Michelangelo.
Silly Game Time: What are the first and second foods you associate with the classical element of Fire?
Smores and Jalapenos for some reason
Silly Game Time: Since it is "MerMay", a month where many fans like to indulge in OCs who are mermaids, as well as in AUs with and depictions of characters as mernaids (what we might call "blub-blub-blorbos"--hehehe! gods, I'm so funny!) ...
How much do you like the general mermaid aesthetic on a scale of 1 to 10?
I would have to say a 5 or 6.
Silly Game Time: By not sharing (giving all of) your sandwich to a random bird, it turns out you have accidentally offended the Birdeity (Deity of all Birds). Whoops. They are now going to curse you for one month, but will at least allow you to choose between two options.
So would you rather have your hands be like a parrot's talons (but still human-sized), or have to go bob-bob-bobbing along (hopping) everywhere like a robin?
I'd rather have a parrot's talons.
Silly Game Time: Who are some of your favorite equine (horse-like) characters or creatures?
They can be from any media (novels, movies, shows, games, etc.--and OCs do count if you so desire), they can be literal horses (or similar animals like donkeys, ponies, zebras), fantasy horses (unicorns, pegasi, kelpies, divine steeds, etc.), partially horses (hybrids with other creatures like centaurs, kirins, tikbalangs, etc.), shapeshifters with a penchant for horses, or even persons who just happen to have a strong enough vibe and/or association with horses for you.
Some of my favorites are Chollima, Longma, Tikbalang, Inkanyamba, and Kelpies!
Silly Game Time: I dare you to give a compliment to the next person you encounter. Either in real life or online.
Did you do it? If so, in general terms, what was the compliment?
Yes, the compliment was that I liked their hair and clothes!
Silly Game Time: COMPLETE THE PHRASE! "Here there be dragons. However, over here there be ___."
nothing but the ocean."
Hi im having a few difficulties with my gender identity and I thought I would ask you since you have they/them pronouns. I have a couple questions, actually. And, yes, I will list them.
1. How did you know you were non binary?
2. How do I tell my parents? (they're extremely religious)
3. I want to try chest binding. Tips for beginners?
4. I hate my name. I don't know why I just hate how it feels. Tips on how to handle that?
5. I'm terrified of myself. What if I'm wrong?
6. I want to try she/they pronouns but I don't live in a place or with a family that would ever use they pronouns for me. Tips?
Anyway, that's it. It's kinda long. Have a pic of my cat to take the edge off:
I knew I was non binary because I didn't like/didn't feel comfortable with being called a she/her or a he/him so I decided to go by they/them pronouns. (hopefully that makes sense lol)
Honestly it's up to you whether or not you feel comfortable or not telling but if they are super religious and would kick you out for telling them that then I would suggest waiting until you moved out to tell them.
I don't really have many tips but a tip I do have is to make sure you research from a safe source how to put it on so you don't get hurt attempting to do it without help.
You can handle that by maybe asking your friends you're comfortable with telling you to call you by a certain name or come up with a nickname for yourself that people can call you by if you want.
It's okay if you're wrong it happens all the time sometimes you think your something when your something else, that happened to me a lot a few years ago and plus me and many other people are here if that happens.
I don't really have an answer for this one sorry.
I hope this helps!!

Silly Game Time: WEIRD GLADIATOR FIGHTS! The mythic archer Robin Hood ... except he only has a standard broadsword. No bow and no arrows (and no armor, either). VS The legendary knight Lancelot ... except he only has a morningstar mace. No lance and no shield (and no horse or armor, either).
You have $5 to wager on the winner (no split wagers). Place your bets!
I'm going to bet on the legendary knight Lancelot with the morning star!
Silly Game Time: Bringing back a crowd favorite! What's a live-action movie (or play) you think would be cooler if it had been animated (or performed with Muppets, if you're a fan of them)?
I think a live-action movie I think would be cooler if it was animated would be the Cruella movie.
