So sorry to hear about your healthcare woes </3 I hope it goes well tomorrow!!

I'd love to hear a little about Loretta's formative years. For the ask game: 🌸 and 🌺?

I appreciate that so much! <3

Ooooh it's very fun to think/write about Loretta's early years as they were honestly pretty bleak 💀 but it greatly defines who she is in the present and why she is the way she is. I had her backstory figured out before going into the game so I used that to inform most of my decision-making.

🌸 Does your Rook have any siblings or close friends they see as such? Where are they during the events of Veilguard?

There's a lot Loretta doesn't remember before her time at the Necropolis. (Unlike default Ingellvar, Loretta showed up in the Necropolis at the age of 12* rather than as a baby. Before that, she grew up in a cult that worshipped the Blight.) She knows she had no siblings as that was one of her greatest desires, particularly as a child who didn't grow up around other children. Due to the neglect and abuse she suffered within the cult, she was very reluctant to let other people near her in her first few years at the Necropolis. Vorgoth, who very clearly was not a flesh-and-blood person, was the exception to this, and naturally ended up as Loretta's primary caretaker. (At least as much as an independent and Very Odd 12 year old needs one.) Because of this, Vorgoth was her only close friend, at least until she met the Veilguard. Loretta also made friends with many of the wisps and other spirits in the Necropolis. Though she hasn't noticed, there's one in particular that has watched over her for a long time. *The Watchers guessed her age to be 10 because of her small size (due to malnutrition). Loretta figures out she's actually two years older much later.

🌺 Is there an object from Rook’s childhood they look back on fondly? (ie a favorite stuffed animal, book, or food)

Loretta didn't bring anything into the Necropolis from her old life, but one of the things that's really dear to her is a copy of Ines Arancia's Botanical Compendium, which she kinda just... took from one of the Necropolis libraries and kept forever. It kickstarted her love of botany and floristry. It's also how she named herself; the name Loretta comes from the word Laurel. (She had no name when she arrived at the Necropolis, and the Watchers had taken to calling her Vita when she didn't offer one.) She was drawn to Prophet's Laurel due to its life-giving nature and its association with Andraste's pyre and ashes*. The ember-like berries captivated her and obviously reminded her of fire, which she had since learned was an effective force against darkspawn (which she greatly fears). *She later has complicated feelings about her name when she learns that her cult could supposedly trace its beginnings from Andraste's original followers. Needless to say, it fractured her already unsteady faith.

👎🎭 for Viarnne?

i dont know why Viarnne hates Ross Reid and part of me thinks its funnier if there’s no real reason, but my favorite idea so far is ‘he got completely obliterated by Ross in counterstrike’

I'm so interested in your chimera worldbuilding!!!

Is the way they're treated worse in less developed countries?? They're considered a minority, right? Are they a community? How do they interact with the queer/poc/disabled/etc communities? Are there flags? How do therians and furries play into this worldbuilding? Are there sanctuaries or chimera-only spaces? Is it a genetic thing?? Is someone with one or two chimera parents more likely to be a chimera? Would their chimera parent influence the type of chimera they are? Can different chimeras of the same animal have different traits? How legal is chimera slavery exactly? Is it legal to kill a chimera? If they've been around for over a century, surely there are SOME laws about their rights. How quickly do kids become a chimera once puberty starts?? Just, everything

Thank you so much for your questions! You've made me think a lot, hahaha, but answering them has been a lot of fun for me. Here we go:

Is the way they're treated worse in less developed countries?? It depends. Ironically, it seems that the countries with the highest number of chimera children are the ones where they are most mistreated, and this includes both countries considered more developed and less developed. There are those who believe that the percentage of chimera children is related to the industrial development of the countries, but this is still a theory.

They're considered a minority, right? Yes.

Are they a community? They could be. I imagine that there must be some support groups that aim to ensure the healthy development of chimera children and the fight for their rights, mainly made up of chimera children and their families (of course, those families that accept them); but I imagine that they are not very listened to or have much influence in society, unfortunately. Due to their situation, very few chimera children become adults, and many of those who do prefer to undergo surgery to look “more human” and forget about everything that had to do with chimera children in order to try to live a “normal” life.

How do they interact with the queer/poc/disabled/etc communities? Of course there are chimera children who belong to other types of minorities as well. Certain communities tend to have less prejudice towards chimera children, but unfortunately, and like everywhere, there are always people who can act with rejection towards them.

Are there flags? I've never really thought about it.

How do therians and furries play into this worldbuilding? Haha, it's a pretty interesting question, though I admit I don't know much about either concept. I guess people will always be people and can have their own interests and beliefs (I actually have a headcanon, can I say headcanon if I'm the author? that Tigri had an ex-boyfriend who was with him just because he liked his tiger features XD).

Are there sanctuaries or chimera-only spaces? There have been attempts to create spaces for chimera children made by chimera children (any other space made by other people ends up being more like a zoo where they are still treated as something other than human); but they don't have much support, and they tend to be very small communities that barely survive on donations, since there is no government support.

Is it a genetic thing?? There is no definitive proof at the time, and since chimera children become sterile, there is no way to prove it. So far, it seems to just be a spontaneous thing that is activated at puberty, regardless of aspects such as ethnicity or health.

Is someone with one or two chimera parents more likely to be a chimera? Chimera children become sterile, it's part of the transformation, so chimera children can only "arise"mutate" spontaneously. No chimera child is a chimera child from birth (except Elafi, but that's part of the mystery of the plot, hehe).

Would their chimera parent influence the type of chimera they are? There is no study that understands the factors that make certain Chimera children have traits of certain animals, as it is not something that is determined by the area in which the animals from which they take traits originally live. Others theorize that it could be related to each one's personality, like a reflection of the soul, but these are empirical theories among certain groups. Nothing is proven.

Can different chimeras of the same animal have different traits? Yes, for example there could be two chimera children that have cat traits, both with tails, ears, and claws, but one might have traits more like a calico cat and the other more like an angora cat. Hair color, hair texture, scale color, horn shape, spot or stripe patterns, all of that can vary from one chimera child to another. Other traits could be defined by the body type of the chimera child, for example a chimera child that before their transformation is more likely to have, say, big ears, if they transform and their ears mutate, they might be larger on average than another chimera child with the traits of the same animal.

How legal is chimera slavery exactly? While there are laws against slavery or child labor, there are no laws directly to protect chimera children. Many people seize on those gray areas to do their evil deeds. And the fact that there is so much smuggling doesn't help either.

Is it legal to kill a chimera? If the chimera child is registered, then killing them could be considered equivalent to murdering a person, and would be illegal. The bad thing is that many chimera children are abandoned or sold before they come of age, and chimera children who are not registered are as good as not existing, so anyone who gets their hands on them could get away with it if no one finds out.

There are associations, like the hunters' guild Warrick belongs to, that have laws regarding hunting animals. Similar rules could apply to chimera children as well, especially for those who don't really see them as human.

If they've been around for over a century, surely there are SOME laws about their rights. There may be, but surely there aren't many or they're not well made, otherwise I wouldn't be able to freely write so much whump, hahaha.

How quickly do kids become a chimera once puberty starts?? The range of transformation is from 11 to 14 years old (If puberty scares you because you're afraid of bleeding or growing hair on your face, there's also the fear of growing a tail in this world.) A teenager who turns 15 can rest assured that they will never become a chimera child (good for them, I guess?). The transformation is sudden: the child goes to sleep, maybe has a restless dream that they can't wake up from or a beautiful deep sleep, and when they wakes up and sees themself in the mirror, BAM, mutated.

This was super fun! Any other questions, I'm honored to answer, and I hope this helped clear up some of your doubts. Have a nice day! 😁

💛 🫶 🦀 for Toga!

(ask game!)

🤝: How did they meet in the first place? What was there first impression of each other?

Oh I love the story of how we met each other!

I've got a shapeshifting Quirk and I was living on the streets as a cat at the time, and Himiko found me napping and decided to take me home with her. I was very startled and tried to fight back but she just let me scratch her and carried me home anyways.

She was living with the League at the time and I was aware I was in a pretty bad situation when I met all of them: I tried to sneak out that night, but I had to change into human form to get the door and Dabi caught me. He thought I was a spy or a hero and woke everyone up to interrogate me.

My first impression of Toga was that she was very sweet and very unhinged and very good at petting cats. Her first impression of me as a human was that I was unexpected, soft, and pretty :)

🦀: How did they handle realizing they were in love? Embarrassed? Nervous? Mad?

Toga is no stranger to falling in love: she does it all the time! She was content, determined, and absolutely over the moon to have a third girl in the League.

I was... overwhelmed, I suppose. I hadn't been with people in a few years, and suddenly there was an entire group around me, all of them with their own history and quirks and desires. Toga was the safest of them, the one that I felt comfortable with, while the others took me longer to figure out and warm up to.

🫶: Who ended up falling first? Which of them actually realized that they’d fallen in love first?

(answered here!!)

I've got your back!

Always.

Dick: Happy Birthday Tim.

Tim: Yeah. Thanks.

Dick: How’s finally getting out of those teen years?

Damian: Don’t be absurd Grayson. Timothy is turning 17.

Dick: What? No he’s 20.

Tim: Aw first name?

Damian: It is my only gift to you.

Tim: Thanks Dames.

Dick: We are not changing the subject.

Jason: I dunno what to tell you dickbird. Baby birds turning the big one seven.

Dick: Jason you tired to kill him three years ago…

Jason, shrugs.

Steph: I mean he’s always been the little one. Even for me.

Dick: Steph he was the same age as you when you were dating…

Steph, shrugs: Can we have cake?

Tim: Hey! I haven’t blown the candles yet!

Dick, struggling: Cass… please.

Cass, ruffling Tim’s hair: little brother.

Tim: Aww thanks Cass.

Dick: Bruce come on. You gotta believe me.

Bruce: Hm

Tim: You did gaslight me for my 16th birthday. That was before Jason came.

Bruce, thoughtfully: Hm.

Dick: WHAT- No. I’m talking to both of you about that later. Tim is 20. It’s physically impossible for him to have been 17 FOR THREE YEARS.

[Varying degrees of staring]

Tim, whispering: Dick? Yeah kinda pointless doing this. I’ve tried before, they all just shrug it off.

Dick: What? So how old are you?

Tim: Probably 17? I’m starting to think I’m cursed or something honestly. I’m not too worried about it unless Damian starts becoming my older brother or something strange.

Dick: What.

Tim, nodding: Pretty sure I accidentally made a deal with the devil or something. Not quite sure. My memories a bit fuzzy on that year.

Dick: WHAT.

OH MY GOD YES BECKY CHAMBERS' STUFF IS SO GOOD!!!! have you read the rest of the wayfarers series/her other work?? incidentally, I'm currently in the process of reading the second monk & robot book. speaking of other works by the same people- also absolutely adore we know the devil (to the point that i have a tattoo inspired by it), and now have to ask if you've played heaven will be mine, too? also, didn't mean ttrpgs but would love to hear your thoughts on them regardless!! I've never had people to play with (with one short exception) but have desperately wanted to play ttrpgs for aaaaages and love hearing abt them as a result

GOD OF COURSE IVE READ THE WHOLE WAYFARERS SERIES!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖 they’re INCREDIBLE!! i haven’t read psalm for the wild-built because i don’t like ebooks, but i’d love to get the hardcover someday!!

i’ve STARTED hwbm but i never finished it 😭 it’s forever on my to-play list but i just never have the time… which is a huge bummer because i ADORE wktd and i know hwbm will similarly change my life but it feels like it’s such a Commitment to sit down and play the game you know?

my favorite ttrpg hands-down is Wanderhome by Jay Dragon; it’s literally everything i want in a game: an evocative fantasy-adjacent setting; mechanics centering exploration and character interaction and roleplay; furries; a hopeful-but-melancholy tone; i love it SO much

other games i love are Our Queen Crumbles by Jason Brown, a weird-fantasy story game where the ending is determined and you play by depleting your character sheet; Roustabout by Micah Anderson, a pick-up-and-play rpg inspired by the band The Decemberists; ViewScream by Rafael Chandler which isn’t really a TTRPG because it’s played over Discord or Skype but it’s a very cool horror game; and Thousand Year Old Vampire by Tim Hutchings, which is a solo journaling game rather than a traditional rpg but it’s easily the best example of the genre. i also want to try Troika!, Tunnels & Trolls, MÖRK BORG, and Pathfinder as OSR alternatives to D&D but i don’t have time, money, or a play group for that 😭

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

Thank you all for an incredible 500 days of love and support. I offer you: answers to questions that no one has asked.

What are the Lamb's thoughts as they went through their cult life? How does a day in their cult go? (Love the art so much! Hope you have a lovely day!)

Cooking commentary

Or, as my grandma would say : "That's a dish traditionally enjoyable by two people : one to distract the cook, the other to throw it out the nearest window."

Bonus :

(Had the idea to have Hero try to comfort him with kind words, only to accidentally finish him - "Don't worry I mess up vivariums too sometimes and then I can't house the beetles I catch" - with Assok laughing their fabric ass off but... meh, long enough already.)

From smut prompts can you do a combo of 2 and 57 for Remy Lebeau x female!Reader?

Love your writing and can’t wait for part 2 of Taco tuesday!

warnings: smut (doggy-style), dirty talk, uhhhhhh i dunno what else. mirror sex? yeah.

His groans are more frequent, breathing ragged. Suddenly, he reaches around to your face, his strong hand gripping your jaw, straightening your head gently. Your eyes are still closed, painfully heavy with arousal. He’s fucked you senseless, and without his current support, you can barely hold your head up. 

“Look at your reflection, cher.” he murmurs. His voice is sultry, laden with arousal and you peel your lids back, swallowing hard. You’re suddenly faced with your own reflection; the mirror on the back of your door. It’s parallel to your bed, and until right then, you somehow forgot that. To Remy, it had been an intentional, calculated move. The position you two were currently in was one that felt impersonal to him sometimes, but because you had a mirror, he still got to enjoy all the subtle nuances of your arousal, and the way you responded to his body.

Doing it doggy-style, you’re on your knees and elbows, and Remy is tall behind you, all brawn. Your eyes flit to your own image somewhat apprehensive, for no man has ever made you look at yourself during sex and you’re not sure what you’re about to find. To your surprise, it’s not embarrassing, nor is it something that kills your high. 

The way the light filters in from your bedroom window casts you in a dreamy yellow haze, flushing your skin with a light glow. Your gaze is lust blown, your cheeks are flushed, your ample cleaveage is rocking back and forth with the force of his movements, and your hair mussed up from where he’d been holding onto it. He thrusts his hips into you once, hard, and your expression contorts into one of pleasure, body shuddering against the action. Seeing it in the mirror is a new experience, but the visual turns you on even more. If you were going to be honest with yourself, you were hot.  

You grip the sheets, making fists in the fabric as Remy hammers into you. Your jaw drops, and a low, erotic moan of pleasure tumbles out over your flushed lips. He, too, looks so good – the way his handsome features look almost tormented with pleasure, the way he’s moving against you, his muscles rippling with each exertion. 

“Look at how gorgeous you are.” He continues, his words choppy from the power of his thrusts. Despite that, his voice is deep and commanding, and he holds your hips, using them as leverage for his thrusts. “So gorgeous when I’m fuckin’ you like ‘dis. So pretty for me, and only for me, huh?”

You’re only able to moan in response as the sensations overwhelm you. He’s hitting all the right spots, taking you in a way that you’ve never experienced before. 

“Ain’t ‘dat right, cher?” He urges, watching you in the mirror. You nod, breathlessly. He cocks a languid, half-smile; pleased that you’re appreciating yourself, even a little bit. If you saw yourself through his eyes… 

He suddenly leans forward, pressing his toned stomach against your back, and urging himself farther inside of you. His voice, when he speaks, is husky and low, almost a growl. 

“I ain’t sharin’ you with anybody. You’re mine, and mine only, and Remy gonna’ make you remember ‘dat.”.

The way he fucks you then is ruthless, staying true to his previous claim. His hips hammer into yours, cock bullying your cunt with reckless abandon. Your arousal climbs higher, and higher until it reaches a peak; you can’t hold it back any longer Your eyes fly open again, brows pulled together in tortured lust, as the coil snaps and you collapse the front half of your body forward, soaking him and arching your back up until it aches.

Remy’s close behind you, but his stamina is better than yours. Another new experience; men usually come first (too quickly, at that), but not him. He’s got you in ten different positions, three orgasms deep before he paints your insides. 

“Ah, cher… c’mere.”

Pac: Guys– This is the new me, ok? I want you to welcome... the new Pac!

Pac: [Laughing] No! No! No– I won't change, I won't change, I won't change! I won't change! Let me- let me in! No no no– What a dictatorship– there can't be a dictatorship here, no– No, I won't change! [Stammers] I'm- I'm myself! I'm myself!

Pac: Man, this skin is really cool, it really is. I think that this– I'm gonna use this more often, man. [Reading chat] "Halloween is over" Guys, this– This is who I am now! Who I am– This is me now, I'm this person here.

[Red text appears on the screen saying "30 seconds to change"]

Pac: "30 seconds to change–" Hang on, what is this?! No– calma, what is–? Guys, for the love of god–

[Another warning appears saying "20 seconds to change"]

Pac: No!!! No! No no no! No no no! You can't do this! You can't do this here. You- you can't. You can't make me change my skin.

[A final warning appears saying "10 seconds to change"]

Dono: The skinmakers in chat are crying, having heart attacks, collapsing. It's horrible, dude.

Pac: [Laughs] It's not that ugly, it's fine, it's good.

Himaru: [Long pause] ...What happened to you, man? Did you get run over?

Pac: [Laughs] Don't judge me, don't judge me! Ok? Look at- look at- look at JVNQ! He has a funny face too, but nobody says anything about it!

Himaru: No man, I'm not judging you, but– I just wor- I'm just worried! [...] Well for me, I'll be serious with you: it doesn't matter what's on the outside, ok? What matters is what's inside, got it?

Pac: Thank you. [He hugs Himaru] Do you think I'm poggers? Do you think I'm poggers? Say it.

Himaru: No Pac, it doesn't matter that you look ugly, ridiculous, like a truck reversed into you then ran you over, like someone hit you–

Milo: my god

Himaru: –like Anderson Silva crushed you in the ring– Hey, it doesn't matter! What matters is that your heart is beating.

JV: And you have a home!

Himaru: Understand? Give love to others, ok?

Pac: My god.

Milo: he was saving those insults

Himaru: And that's all, ok man? You can be at peace, ok? I won't- I won't judge you, I'll just... I'll just do one thing, man.

Pac: What are you doing?

Himaru: I'm just going to avoid eye contact, ok? But I'm still talking to you, I'm still listening, ok? I hear you.

Pac: ...I can't believe this.
