Fandom Response
what is uquiz if not some kid coming up to you in the playground saying "choose a color :p"[Image of a cootie catcher]
annebronte, 2021 [2]
hey man, nice insincere uquiz. i like the part where you said it only took 20 minutes to make, if you said any longer we might thing you cared or something. I like the hostile tone and the part in the pick a song lyric question where you say how lame these kind of questions are, not in yours though, your taste in music is super good. not that you care or anything, I can tell you don’t bc of how aggressive and demeaning my results were, it really hits hard. You’re a stone wall in this, you’re not projecting anything at all about yourself because the ironic and detached writing style hides it so wellscreamydreamy, 2022 [3]
