You are just as idiotic and dumb minded as they are if you agree with them and take their side! lld have NEVER called Chuchu a cunt and have NEVER told her to kill herself! But honestly, SHE MIGHT AS WELL

Mmmmm shut the fuck up

You even imply she should kill herself one more time and I will hurt you, more than that fantasy of yours about driving your car into the wall ever would! :)

I am idiotic and dumb sometimes but you're the one in the wrong here you sick fuck

Do you have more of silly Hyde and Jekyll being chill with eachother? 👁👁

Here's a few more scenarios I came up with! They give me sibling energy lol

Jekyll is deciding what to wear. Hyde suggests wearing green and the two argue on why Jekyll would look bad in green.

"I don't look good in green."

"I know you don't, that's why you should wear it."

"I hate you."

"I know."

Jekyll having a dumbass moment and asking Hyde a stupid question cause he doesn't want to seem like a dumbass to anyone else and then the two have a conversation about the dumbass question neither of them know the answer to.

Hyde saying "Watch this." And then jumping around rooftops. Jekyll daring him to jump even further until Hyde ends up nearly falling.

Hyde getting into a bar fight and Jekyll encouraging him on.

Sometimes right before Hyde drinks the potion to turn back into Jekyll he's like "You know... What if I don't drink this and just stay as myself?" Jekyll tells him to shut up and calls him out on his bluff. The first time Hyde did that Jekyll genuinely freaked out and Hyde was like "You idiot I was just kidding I can't believe you fell for that."

I just kind of feel like these two would have at least been on somewhat good terms with each other before the beginning of the comic and some of this could have happened. But yeah. I'll probably think of more later!

Does Connie ever reunite with her Parents in your AU and if they do what is Priyanka and Doug's Reactions to seeing there Daughter again with a missing arm ?

Connie does! She meets with them after the main plot of the planned comic. She's always cared for them + holds no resentment for them (they're human, they had no ship to find her, etc.). One of Connie's terms with Emarald is she leaves humans/her parents alone. Priyanka and Doug are both relieved their daughter is alive but also are so worried about her state. They're first more shocked she's alive but Priyanka immediately noticed the limb and is worried sick. Connie 100% would be drove to the hospital as soon as her mom convinced her to go, Priyanka does daily examinations on her for the first bit she's home, worried about anything that might have gone unchecked all those years. She lets Connie keep the limb enhancer/doesn't push to changing to a human one after seeing how used to it Connie is. Doug finds the limb enhancer a lot more neat, esp since he seems like the type of guy into sci-fi. Ofc he's still worried for his daughter & encourages her to get therapy/help. Him and his wife just approach from different perspectives.

What’s your favorite thing you’ve written for Golden so far?

- @aftgphoenix

oooo this is such a nice question!!! i think it's been in my inbox for some time now i apologize 😭

so for the ten chapters of golden i have published, my favourite is definitely chapter 5, where aaron spends the night at sebastian's house when tilda goes to san diego. i loved writing such a domestic part of the fic because it was just so gentle and aaron really deserved that (especially with what happened in chapters 6/7)

more generally though, some of my favourite parts have been the additional characters i have in the background who have no effect on canon but in their own ways affect how aaron grew and developed as a person. there's people like sebastian, coach reynolds, jay moore from California plus more side characters to come in Columbia, like aaron's first girlfriend ruby (who's name came from the fact i was listening to Kaiser Chiefs when i wrote their first scene lmao), there's two brothers named chase and cole that he plays Exy with, etc. writing so many just random people who aaron meets throughout his life, even if he doesn't remember them, is really fun because i really enjoy thinking about how all these seperate characters influenced him as a person you know? you're made out of everybody you've ever known and so on

Top 5 Pokémon core series games!

good question... im not including remakes in this ☝️

5. pokemon ruby and sapphire. i never played emerald so i dont have the attachment to that, thus my wording. i think gen 3 is extremely charming, has very recognizable music, and has introduced some of my favorite pokemon. this is probably the only entry on this list i havent finished more than once so i dont have a lot to say but i do love these games and i think they deserve their popularity

4. pokemon scarlet and violet. this might be a hot take, but i think theyre fantastic games outside of the poor optimization. ive had a blast playing this game-- i still play it regularly! this is the strongest plot since black and white imho. i loved the multiple storylines. i have my qualms but i think the pros outweigh the cons. i loved the dlcs sooo much. ive put over 200 hours into my scarlet copy alone! :)

3. pokemon ultra sun and ultra moon! i know these games are fairly disliked by the general public, but this is the first game i 100%'d and i had such a blast doing it. the sos mechanic, the format that deviated from the traditional 8 gyms, the ultra wormhole mini game.... you name it, im such a big fan of all of it. i think these games are overhated; i agree that its very hand hold-y but imo it just makes them more accessible. longtime pokemon fans are simply Good at pokemon

2. pokemon black and white! god, i love this game. i think the plot is extremely clunky and the message it tries to convey is very poorly executed (not a plot you can tell in such a linear format, if anyone wants a further ramble feel free to send another ask). but the music is fucking phenomenal, the best in the series imo, and introduced such classic pokemon & npcs

1. pokemon platinum! my very first pokemon game i completed-- my home region if you will. i think giratina and the distortion world changed my brain chemistry genuinely forever and i am thankful for it. it added so much good to preexisting evo lines, had good plot, amazing music, and is just so good....

7 for the ship ask game!

7. a ship that’s morally ✨ questionable ✨ but you can’t let go?

I don’t think any of my ships are that controversial tbh? I’m a pretty mild person when it comes to shipping bdbdb. I think the most scandalous thing is some of them have a bit of an age difference? Like Chrisker for example? And I guess those two would have a pretty toxic relationship as well, but like idk that’s nothing compared to other ship discourse lol. Every pairing I’ve shipped regardless of fandom though has never really been that controversial

💐 - Their favorite plant/flower

🌹 - Do they have a signature scent? Perfume, shampoo or alike?

For delta, Paris, and Lorelei, all destroyer era unless a different era would be more interesting.

💐 - Their favorite plant/flower

delta’s favorites are lilac and lavender. he has positive associations with lavender because that is what apollo stocks up on and pushes onto him for stress relief and self care. delta also likes marimo/seaweed balls if that counts as a plant! he takes care of a few of them in rubies.

paris has been rolling with the pink roses motif for a while. empire and thales’ official flower is a rose so hes mandated to like it. but by now he has some like…not so positive associations with imperial imagery so he has to find a new one. gonna say he likes bellflowers.

lorelai likes forget-me-nots. they are so gentle and delicate. she would probably like the associations of love and romance with roses if she did not have that same repulsion towards imperial imagery. she also likes hollyhock and dandelions.

🌹 - Do they have a signature scent? Perfume, shampoo or alike?

delta smells like an aquarium touch pool, paris smells like cigarette smoke, and lorelai usually smells very strongly of mulch…. but like in a good way??? earthy.

⛰️ for the ask game!!

Thank you ever so much for the ask, and my apologies for taking so long to reply. I was trying to decide what to say, because there is quite a bit of lore but I wanted to try and reveal a lot of it through the story itself. However, there is one big piece of the story that would be difficult to tell through the pov of the cats.

You may remember that a while back I shared a map of what Whistleclan and their neighboring clans’ territory looks like. You may remember that there was a little twolegplace in the bottom right corner, on Whistleclan territory. This was the place Daisypaw was taken when she was captured by twolegs. Well.

This place is in fact a twoleg cult compound. The cult is devoted to an ancient eldritch entity, and had plans to awaken this entity to channel its power for their own ends. The exact entity doesn’t matter. Suffice it to say, it's something that resides deep in the ocean, and it has tentacles. You see where this is going. They had intended to summon it to the end of their dock, and they had the animal sacrifices ready to go, but unfortunately they got the location a liiitttle bit off. The entity ended up being summoned a few miles down the shoreline instead, right outside of the old Whistleclan camp, and took the members of the clan as its sacrifices. The twolegs, meanwhile, are just confused and upset about their ritual failing. They have plans to try it again. There is nothing the cats can do to hinder the entity. It is awake now.

Additionally, if you would like to decode any encrypted messages that may be showing up in posts and you happen to need a keyword, I might recommend looking back through old moon updates to find any oddly emphasized letters :3

[hotcheetohatredwastaken]

Hola Cheeto! You seem like a good person to ask this:

I’m feeling like my writing is in a bit of a slump, like I’m saying things in the same way every time. Do you have any advice on how to spice up one’s writing?

:)

Hey! First off, I would like to offer an encouragement. A lot of times in the art world, they say getting into a slump means you're about to have a wonderful breakthrough/revelation. I believe that the same thing occurs in writing. So, don't worry. Just keep pushing, and you'll reach that breakthrough your subconscious is cooking up <3

Anyways, I do have a few words of advice, if you want to speed the process up :)

1. Read. A LOT

In general, I believe that input = output, when it comes to reading and writing. Not in an easy 1:1 way, but in the way that your style, your storylines, and your choices are influenced by authors you read. Thus, if you want to improve your writing, my number one piece of advice would be to read, and to target your reading. If you're struggling with vocabulary, read some poetry. If you're struggling with original plotlines and emotional turns, read outside of your regular genre in order to get yourself some more perspective. Bing some fics that capture the feeling you're going for, and figure out not only what they do right, but how. Heck, read a fic that makes the same mistake as you do, see if you can figure out where they went wrong and how you'd fix the mistake in your own work. We're all learning together, and it's a great process <3

2. Identify and analyze the problem in your own work

Reread one of your pieces that doesn't jive with you, and not only identify where it doesn't work, but justify why it doesn't work with evidence. If your words are repetitive, highlight them and perhaps make yourself a list of your crutch words. If your action isn't strong enough, figure out which verbs you can spice up and how you can streamline your cause/effect to get the most punch out of your sentences. If your scenarios are repetitive across your writing, you can note that too, if it bothers you. If you can't figure what's wrong---instead, mark the places that you DO like, and by process of elimination you can probably figure it out. Next, as in the step before, brainstorm how to fix it. Search up some synonyms to your crutch words. Read some professional author's advice on how to reorder your fight scenes. Search up tropes that you may not have used before, etc.

However, we are our own worst critics when it comes to self-evaluation, and paying attention while you read and taking notes can feel like a high school English class and can be rather unenjoyable. Additionally, insecurity can make us see mistakes where there are none. So, here's my final piece of advice.

3. Beta Read (And if you can, swap beta read)

This is the best of both worlds, in my opinion, and the one that has improved my writing the most. First, you get your eyes on another's work, and you're literally tasked to pick out the things that you don't like and to say why, which gives you more experience to do so in your own work and perhaps even lets you solve a few problems in your own work before they even crop up. Additionally, you now don't have to go through the horrible slog of evaluating your own work (although, you probably shouldn't give it to the other person until it's pretty postable (@needfantasticstories I'm so sorry I'm so sorry about Ch 24 Skip I'm sorry about the convolutedness of Arc 3 please---)). You can ask THEM to figure out what's wrong where, and, if they're open to it, you can brainstorm together how to fix it, which is so much more fun than doing it alone. Heck, if you have a good idea what's wrong, you can set them after it specifically. And obviously, you don't have to take a beta's advice if you don't think it fits (phrases that belong on wattpad) but it's a good way to get your brain chugging on how you should fix it.

Anyways, there's my little rant. If you're already doing all of the above---my advice would be to just keep pushing, friend. As I said before, I've heard that in the art world, a slump means you're about to have a breakthrough. It's not that your work has gotten worse, it's just that your taste has changed and gotten better---now, your skill just has to catch up to that new level. You'll do great things, whatever it is that you're cooking up. I know that you've got this.

5, 6, 8

5. Answered!

6. A series you’ve enjoyed since your early days of gaming and still enjoy to this day whether it still has games coming out or is one you return to

Borderlands! While the stories in those games don't really blow me away or anything, the gameplay is just so fun and addicting to me. It's one of the first series I played when I first started playing video games as a hobby so it has a special place in my heart. Borderlands 2 is one my favorite games EVER and one of the few games I have no problem revisiting at least once a year.

8. A series you haven’t played but are interested in trying

The Plague Tale series! Both Innocence and Requiem have been on my backlog for AGES, I really need to just play them already lol
