Hey, y'all! I'm obviously Twissytreats, but you can call me Twissy, Twiss, or even my real name—Vivian. You may be wondering about my rather unusual username. My childhood dog was named Twissy, and she loved treats, so my 10-year-old self decided that putting the two together would make a great username!

I joined Howrse 14 years ago because of a childhood obsession with horses. I've been playing for so long that I've since become an adult, but my "horse girl phase" has never truly gone away. I still love horses, and it's my dream to own one someday.

Fun facts about me: I am a quintessential Virgo and INFJ. I am in medical school, so real life has taken over my priorities. All of my closest friends on here have moved on, so I now have few reasons to stay and be truly active. I still try to log in each day to rack up ~seniority~, but I don't do too much beyond that. Still, I would love to chat with any of you who happen to be passing by, though responses may be slow =)

Howrse has changed a lot since I first started 14 years ago, and I’m not necessarily a fan of most of these changes. Still, this game was once my favorite pastime and will always be a huge part of my childhood. I'm too nostalgic to leave this game for good, so I'll  probably be here until it shuts down! 

I’m not super focused on the gameplay aspect of Howrse anymore. I am currently working on improving my EC and collecting trophies. I am not a competitive player at all; I play this game for fun, not to be on top of the rankings. I have also never spent real money and never will. I am quite attached to my horses, so none are for sale unless otherwise stated.

I return all congratulations that I see. I accept random friend requests, but I would prefer to talk with you first. However, if you're shy or just don't want to, that's ok too! Feel free to PM me if you need help with completing objectives (or anything else really) or just want to chat. I am always willing to lend a hand.

My favorite part of Howrse has always been the friends that I have made. Even though real life has pulled us all away from Howrse, I still cherish the wonderful memories we shared and the fun we had RPing together. Because of this, and for the sake of nostalgia, I'm keeping the list below of my closest friends that I compiled on an old layout years ago. I miss all of you ;) Please excuse my former teen self for all the sappiness/cringy-ness below!

caitlynb13 -- Possum Buddy, you are my partner in crime, the milk to my cookies. Words cannot describe how awesome, kind, sweet, funny, and pure amazing you are. You're the best at graphics and RPing, and you've been with me since forever. Love ya, KitKat!

iicecream291 -- I feel as if I've known you forever! Stalker buddies, yeah! You're just plain hilarious! You're an awesome roleplayer and fun to RPG with. You come up with great plot twists, ideas, and drama that I would never be able to think of! Don't get me started on how much I love chatting with you! We have a bunch in common, and you always make my day! Waffles and Marshmallow united!!

fancypants_em -- Awesome + Funny = Bunny Bestie!! BB, you're a great friend and roleplayer combined into one amazing package! Let's keep it short and sweet like you, girl!

pepper098 -- Bestie, you've been with me since forever! And I mean forever! In fact, I think you were one of the first people that I met on here. Ever since I came on Howrse, you and I have been besties and RPG friends! The rest is history!

jstr97 -- You are such an amazing RPer! I spent countless hours in your EC forum because of your RPs! On top of being an awesome writer, you're also a great person and friend. I miss our chats!

Roleplaying was honestly a huge part of my childhood. I would constantly have my computer open to refresh the page for a new post, and it was something I would always look forward to after a long day of school. I can honestly say that RPing has made me a stronger writer and a faster typer! Without roleplaying, I wouldn't have met most of my closest friends on Howrse, and I wouldn't have had any reason to stay here for as long as I have. Unfortunately, all of us are now occupied with our real lives. All of the RPGs in my forum are old and inactive (and I promise that my writing has improved a lot since then!), but I'm too nostalgic to delete them for good.

However, writing has always been and continues to be a passion of mine (Can you tell by how long this presentation is? lol). I miss RPing a lot, but I just don't have the time anymore. *sigh* 

In terms of graphics, my friend and I used to run a team on here called Wild Inspiration Designs. While those days are long gone, I still enjoy fooling around with Photoshop. I made my current avatar and layouts because I was bored! If you happen to want anything, just shoot me a PM. I would be happy to make one for free if I have spare time! Feel free to also PM me if you have any graphics-related questions. I am always willing to share tips or help to the best of my ability.
