#How to make Lemonade

[jeeaark]

I have something that my brain is like "Hey, this is an Ask!" So let's do this! Did Greygold ever encounter Ansur? How would they respond to him making his very (very) messy breakup their problem? Especially with most of the pre-fight being Ansur and Emps using the inside of their head to bicker like an old (very bitterly divorced) married couple.

Hell yeah they did! Had this Ansur of a question (hweh) pre-prepared~

And bonus:

Greygold had one million questions for the Emperor.

Now Greygold has two million!

save me lumberjack summer...

HOT TAKE but I'm okay with it being out of spite. Because if it is spite, it isn't "you told me not to harm him so I made him a vampire" spite.

It's "you stayed with me for 77 years to spite Lestat. Because he couldn't stand to see you spend eternity with another lover. Well guess what Louis? Now YOU can spend eternity seeing ME with another lover, your precious fascinating boy!"

h-how do you ever finish any of your work? genuine question because you seem to be productive despite your agreste syndrome and I need to learn your ways. but also how do you ever finish any of your work

unclear. last night i stayed up and finished a report worth 25% of my grade at about 5am, arrived on time for my 9am lecture, and spent about half of it zoned out while thinking about seventeen year old emilie agreste. and i was one of the most active participants in the class discussion

hewwooo tuesday here's a silly little question for you since your "check it out, frogs!!" blog title always delights me: how do each of your characters feel about frogs? 👀

I *love* Frogs, but how do the blorbeans feel about em...? Well... I had to really think about it TTuTT BUT! Chuu favors mechanical creatures over flesh 'n blood ones, and while her getting to the First is ambiguous and mysterious (being a non-wol, I just try not to think about it too much) She DOES... love the Dwarven Mecha frogs. And. The biggest frog of them all... Formi.... <3 …. So she doesn’t care for frogs much. She has sent Tuesday out frog catching for alchemical ingredients though….

Colette... Doesn't have any feelings this way or that about frogs, really. They're small, they're kinda slimey? but mostly they're just, very small. Except Gigantoads, I suppose, but those are a toad, and decidedly less slimey, by virture of being a toad. The ambivalence remains though! They're not that tricky to fight so long as you know how to wriggle out of their tongue grasp. (I did... take some frog-related Colette pictures tho >:3 I'm just gonna, post em a bit later, since the theme got away from me) Gigantoads make for a decent enough meal so long as you prep the meat right :T the legs are the most edible part yk.

Ishi is much more fond of Poro Roggo's, Matoya's froggy familiars. They're wearing LITTLE HATS ! They wave little canes! They're quite frankly adorable and they have little croaking voices. What's not to enjoy? (And also, there's something really nice about being out in the marshes of Mor Dhona and finding a little frog instead of a Morbol ready to stink bomb you, HAH)

Tuesday shivers when he thinks about frogs (knows the difference between a frog and a toad, still pictures a Gigantoad first, and does not much love being yanked mid-cast from his Ley lines into body slamming range.) Finds just a regular little frog endearing and will get down in the mud and muck to look at it though. Is especially fascinated by frogs that stick to things like leaves and trees and their camouflages uwu He’s the one who likely knows the most about frogs, and would gladly tell you more about them. Probably compares information with Erenville, if they ever meet up in non-life-threatening-situations.

Tangy finds them fun ! If she’s on a walk or a run or an errand and it’s drizzly and she sees a little frog hop across the pathway there’s literally 0 inhibitions in her body that stop her from also hopping or skipping for at least a minute (still on her way, but a frogs leap is so charming. They’re like tiny dragoons! She points this similarity out to Estinien once. Krile laughs, Estinien looks constipated- you know the face.) She also has a weird compulsion to put them into her mouth, though, so if she catches one….. make sure it’s not poisonous. She doesn’t even plan to eat it! They just look like they would fit perfectly in her kitty jaws (she is sometimes correct).

Mochiie had to get used to frog song when he moved to Gridania. The rivers and lakes and greenery abounding let the little critters thrive in a way they don’t particularly on the Steppe. …. He comes around to finding it relaxing and feels uneasy when he doesn’t hear them anymore lmfao. In non-WoL au’s, probably sometimes tasks adventurer’s with catching frogs for alchemical ingredients OR to bring back to the pond he’s been carefully maintaining to encourage the little beepers to live in it. (Btw, his favorite frog singers are the Pobblebonk or Banjo Frog [YT Link], and the Pacific Chorus Frog [YT Link] 🥰)

Levraut…. I’m still not sure. 🤔 I think he’d like them, but he wouldn’t feel strongly about them. He WOULD eat them though. As would Colette and Mochi… I mentioned Tangy liked to stick them in her mouth but actually eating them seems like a waste, since she’s so big and they’re so small. Like eating a blueberry. I can say his favorite frogs would be the Blue Jeans Poison Frog, for their striking jackets of warning colors, and the desert rain frog, whose perfect spherical nature and grumpy face is endearing.

was listening to 36 questions and when the song "for the record" played i got these two vibes from it, especially "Tonight's 36 reasons why you and I cannot be healthy for each other"

[keeps-ache]

in a cafe rn. this place is nice :>

I have decided instead of digging my tower out of the quick Sand I shall just keep building onto the tower as it sinks deeper! Making a Super tower basement if you will...

I can then turn the tower sized basement into a Dungeon for Adventurers level 1-3

Mildly important fanwork/fandom interaction questions! Anyone can feel free to answer!

Thinking about fandom interactions, I'm wondering about how we as fan communities can create fun environments and engage with other fans more!

You can answer (or not answer) however many of these questions as you want! The questions bolded with their number in purple are the ones I'm most curious about.

Feel free to reply in the reblogs, tags, or comments!

If you can, please reblog so we can get more answers :)

Questions below!

(There's sections for fans that make fanworks, fans that interact with fanworks, and fans that enjoy fanworks but don't interact.)

Fans that create fanworks (fanart, fanfic, edits, etc):

A1. What are your favorite kinds of interactions/comments? Ex. Long rambles, analyses and theories, strings of incoherent garbled yelling

A2. Where do you like to get them? Ex. Ao3 vs Tumblr, reblogs vs tags vs comments, in DMs?

A3. Do you want or enjoy people creating stuff inspired by or modifying yours? (Creating as in art of your fic, fic of your art, etc. Modifying as in translations, podfics, etc)

A4. Do you want or enjoy people promoting your stuff? Ex. fic rec lists, sharing in groupchats, posting about your stuff with links to it

A5. How do you feel when you get nice comments or have good interactions?

A6. Most importantly, what would you say to people who are scared to or or don't know how to start interacting with fanworks?

Fans that enjoy fanworks and interact with them:

B1. What kind of comments do you like leaving and where do you leave them? Ex. Ao3 vs Tumblr, reblogs vs tags vs comments

B2. What makes you more likely to interact?

B3. What made you start interacting?

B4. Have you made any friends or mutuals by commenting and interacting?

B5. Has leaving comments and talking with creatives changed how you feel about or approach your own fanworks?

B6. How has interacting with fanworks and the guys who make them improved your fan experience?

People that enjoy fanworks but don't interact (no judgment! We're all different 💛):

C1. Do you want to interact more? If you do, what makes you want to comment or interact?

C2. Is there anything holding you back? Ex. nerves, unsure how, bad past experiences, etc.

C3. Do you make your own fanworks? Has that affected (or been affected by) your choice not to interact?

C4. Are there ways other fans could help or encourage you to interact or get involved? Are there any ways you want to encourage yourself?

THANKS FOR ANSWERING IF YOU DO :D

PS. Add a 💛 or <3 to your response/reblog if you want me to make an anonymous survey focusing on this topic!

I'd compile and post the results so we can see how our fellow fans think :)

I love the idea of Todd being a dad figure to Pico

Me too, he's just the most dad ever

Designed a civilian version of Harumi since she’s good(?) now. I have a few thoughts on her/headcanons below!

- I designed her to keep some parts of her aesthetic in her villain clothes to make it look like regular wear, but still seem like it fits her personality. She’s still rough around the edges and really, really likes belts(as I’ve seen in the minifigs at least)  - I imagine she feels exposed without having the large amount of makeup and/or mask she wears. To her, it was a way to have her enemy’s intepret her exactly as she wanted them to. Like in her past, it helps her keep up appearances even when not in the right state of mind, which is a place she doesn’t want anyone to see through. So even though she can’t have a scary mask or makeover, she still can’t fully transition to none.  - She’s not exactly shy, but moreso awkward as she has no idea how to reintegrate into society. She was either the right hand woman to evil, or she was a princess. She’s trying, but obviously being a former villain has its downsides.   - She does a LOT of community service on behalf of the city of Ninjago. Kinda likes the mayor’s cat. Still not a people person though, but she’s pretended before, she can do so again.  - I imagine she doesn’t exactly flock to Lloyd at first, because she has no idea how to apologize for what she’s done, and still feels angry even though she knows better. But she does make a friend to bond with(maybe Skylar? Vania could be funnier however. Why not all three? idk)  - When she finally transitions into being more comfortable, maybe she becomes a hero in her own way?  - She realizes her pact with the Overlord has allowed her to keep some of his power, and she uses it to be a sort of “white witch” who uses those evil powers for good. I might design a hero version of her later on. - She bonds with Lloyd later by sharing their experiences of feeling trapped, and her experience with dark magic may help her prescribe advice to Lloyd on his oni powers. Not exactly sure if they’d 100% be friends or more down the line, I guess it would depend on if Harumi truly grows beyond who she was. But id feel like the scars would still remain, so not sure.  - Still sneaky, charismatic, and lies but moreso to be more convincing and make things easier for the ninja.  - My style allows eye colors to exist and I chose green for a corny reason. Besides being the jade princess, she’s had her eye on Lloyd for a big part of her life, so her eyes are green fhdhfjjdjs stupid symbolism

[nblemons]

the thing about me is that i started watching and reading one piece in primary school and it has had such an impact on my psyche that no matter how long the breaks i take from keeping up are, i will always come back and it will always make me bawl like a little baby in a way nothing else does
