[askprosciutto]

((Thank youuuuu!! I’m so flattered that you think I’m pretty I hope you have a good day too!!

And @dustail Thanks!!!! I spent SO MUCH TIME picking the name Florentino. And people have started using the name in fics!! I know it won’t likely happen, but I love being credited when the name is used bc Florentino Durante took me a solid THREE DAYS of name lists and research to choose… The name means a lot and really kinda…makes the version of Prosciutto I portray mine, y’know? I love him so much…))

Idk if you've answered this before but how old is Ghiaccio in SoA? I noticed he's often called "boy" by Trish and in general. Also does Melone......just carry around samples of his friend's blood in case he needs to use Babyface? And where'd he find a woman to make Babyface if he's stuck in the hotel? Sorry that's a lot of questions I'm just! Excited! I love your work!! ε>

Hey no worries! I love getting questions about SoA, so never apologize for sending them!

I see Ghiaccio as being around 18-19, which is probably a bit younger than other people portray him. That makes him the youngest of the assassins, and I do have some specific plans to talk about how he ended up as part of La Squadra despite Risotto distaste for children being involved with crime. I see his overall disposition as relatively juvenile, kinda like an arrogant kid whose parents didn’t keep them in check. To me Ghiaccio seems like he’s still maturing, thus the younger age.

Melone does have samples of the squad’s blood! Really it’s a precaution - Baby Face has a lot of useful abilities, one of which being that it can locate it’s father. For the assassins, going missing for whatever reason is a real possibility, so having an incredibly precise bloodhound is potentially life saving. I wanted to talk more about that headcanon of Melone having blood from the squad, but I’ve yet to find a good place to fit it (and thats a bit of an oversight on my part, sorry).

As for the women…. Well, Baby Face is a useful stand, but it’s process for creating homunculi really leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and I know a lot of people are bothered by it too. I have a small set of rules/guidelines I keep for SoA, and one of them is that I’m never going to explicitly write out Baby Face’s process, so that’s why those details were left out. 

Those rules tend to be for comfort for both the audience and myself, or for keeping themes. For example, another rule is that none of the assassins ever act predatory to Trish - And by predatory I mean specifically in the sense of anything misogynistic or even just implying sexual harassment. They’re criminals and some are a bit scummy, but that would cross a line. 

Thanks again for the questions, I looooove getting chances to talk about little details like this!

I just saw @dustails fanart about Barbatos fangirling over MC's cuteness and now I'm a simp😔

I just reblogged the art, it was absolutely adorable!

Barbatos definitely would have a soft spot for cute things, specifically you/mc!

1. What do you prefer to be called namewise?

I’m not picky i usually just go by any play on Andrew someone wants to use so whatever’s fine

2. When is your birthday?

so you can look up my sign and explain to me which planet gave me emotional trauma and what my personal faults are? nice try

3. Where do you live? (You can just give the country’s or state name if you’re not comfortable with sharing the city name)

midwestern USA but i wont tell u where unless you also live in midwestern USA so we can argue about the correct way to say soda/pop/coke since we’re so heavily divided

11. Do you prefer heat or cold?

Its way easier to be cold than to be hot because if you’re too cold you can put more stuff on but if you’re too hot you just have to suffer because you can’t take your skin off or anything. a defect in the evolutionary process of humanity is that we absorb heat and dispell it via explosive streams of fire anyway I don’t prefer either but gun to my head cold. I wish I was a volcano

lDK Im not sure whats considered unusual. I have to eat sandwiches all around the crust/edge and then the middle

So, I first heard of Story of Assassins from an ask blog, and I realized, wow this is good shit. Then I started reading and looking at more stuff related to La Squadra and generally started gaining more appreciation for them, which is unfortunate since there aren't that many fans. So in looking for content I found your blog, and then I found out you wrote SoA, so it all loops around. Anyways, Storytime over, I really like your writing, and you're doing god's work.

If I have two goals in life, they’re to make people appreciate La Squadra, and to give people ways to appreciate La Squadra! 

So naturally, I am absolutely elated that you not only enjoy my work, but also enjoy La Squadra because of my work! I loved reading that little anecdote, and it’s funny how things tend to come full circle like that. I’m doing my best to give my boys the ending they deserve, thank you for making the journey with me! 

Anytime you feel like talking about anything Squadra related, feel free to shoot me a message. There’s nothing I love more than talking about them! Also, if you’re looking for more La Squadra Art/content, I’d recommend @dustails, @prithivii, @ghiacccio, @hotpantys, and @nyaparts (though I’m assuming her daily blog is where you originally heard about SoA).

Thank you for your kind words!
