Do you have voice claims for honey?

If you do, can you show them? 🥺

😩💓💓 YESSS I HAVE I HAVE!! —He has this kind of sassy, cocky villain voice, like Drew Sarich. At least how I think he would sound when he sings pfft

I love you for asking me this. Ima smooch you and give you a mango 🥭!

what do you think cal and andres go to fast food place would be 👀

cal’s is chick fil a. he constantly refers to it as the “homophobic chicken.” someone will ask where he wants to go, and that’s legitimately what he’ll say. andre used to get pissed when he said it, but at this point, he just sighs and starts the car.

andre’s is burger king. that man gets himself a crown and a coke icee and has the time of his life. he gets a new thing every time, but always has to have onion rings. cal complains that his breath smells after. andre says it’s worth it.

do you think they were fated to meet each other??

oh man, what a question, I love it.

no. because i do not believe in fate. they might as well not have met each other and their lives would have been very different. they wouldn't necessarily have been worse, though. there is no way of knowing that. mulder may have met someone else who would have supported him. scully may have had a family of her own. who knows.

BUT. i think because of who they are and what they both believe in, once they did meet, there was little chance of them not becoming what they are to each other. to me, that's more meaningful than fate. because every day, with every crisis, every time they hurt each other, every time they save each other, every time they pick up the phone and call each other, every time they have a chance to go down a different path but choose each other instead, their relationship grows and changes. they choose each other every time out of their own free will, and that is love and commitment.

they met by chance. they met because of everything they did and everything that happened before they met. but all those moments and decisions and events and thoughts and journeys before she was assigned to debunk his work led to the point where that could happen in the first place. it shaped them into the people they are. the universe had no plan for that to happen. the universe has no consciousness of its own. it's the amalgamation, or one giant stew of billions of individuals, of thoughts, decisions, actions, history, culture, art. anything can happen. there's incredible beauty in that chaos. and it led them to each other. and gave them the chance to keep choosing each other over and over and over again.

what would be on your art creation wish list? something you haven’t drawn yet for whatever reason?

Ohoho, ROOK. This is a difficult question, but I love it.

I have a few private answers, but one I can share is an animation dream. I admire Hayao Miyazaki as an artist, and respect his philosophy. I am very serious about wanting to create traditional frame-by-frame films someday, especially ones that likely would fall under the same ‘genre’ of stories.

At the moment, this is beyond me. I’m practicing frame-by-frame animation, but it will be a long process. Here’s a piece for reference:

I have many animation dreams, some more serious and dear to me than others.

For my current Star Wars interest (and just for kicks and practice) I’d love to put together a short end-credits style piece about my RepGA AU, like a wholesome epilogue, or a happier-ending AU to my AU that may not feature all these happy endings precisely.

A few scenes that would feature:

- Plo Koon stepping out of a train-transport onto what is clearly a foreign planet’s platform, with much alien tropical vegetation, wearing a sun hat and followed by first one, then two, then the entirety of his battalion all decked out for a vacation and parading like ducklings (Wolffe is wearing colorful shorts alongside the equivalent of an incredibly thick, tough mountain shacket and combat boots).

- Ahsoka waving out of a train transport, grinning happily as it comes into the station, and the camera panning to see Anakin and Padme very worn, leaning on eachother with signs of recent hospital stay, and Rex right next to them grinning like a fool and holding both twins in his arms (Anakin has a hand pointedly resting on Luke’s head around Rex’s back, so that he essentially is a hen clutching the entire party to his person, visually).

- Fox and Cody in whatever counts as intensive care with healers in the vicinity. They are bickering about the weird hospital food that transcends all AUs and dimensions.

- Obi-Wan digging through rubble to help with cleaning up the wreckage of a sub-city in Coruscant, pausing to catch his breath while Alpha-17 both makes fun of him and walks over leisurely with a water bottle for him. Nearby, a team effort comprised of engineering tools used in a way not quite intended by the designers and Fordo’s raw strength launches an enthusiastic Wolffe up into a second-floor they were having trouble accessing, through a hole in the wall.

There are more, but they would give spoilers.

Which one is the mask? Daredevil/Matt Murdock

I think that, to some extent, they are both the mask.

When people write about this, they (tend to) talk as if Matt Murdock and Daredevil are two personalities placed into one mind, two definitively separate halves of a whole. I don’t necessarily agree with that. Matt Murdock is Daredevil and Daredevil is Matt Murdock, and there is no sharp line between them only a blur. They are just different aspects of one personality, unbalanced when viewed without the context of the other.

I do get the ‘two halves of a whole’ thing, and I think there is an amount of truth to that. But there is no clear separation between the two, no point where Matt Murdock ends and Daredevil begins.

Those who only know Daredevil would think of him as brutal and violent, which he is. Yet those who only know Matt Murdock would think of him as soft spoken and charming, and he’s all that too. Daredevil and Matt Murdock are not mutually exclusive. They coexist.

I also think that this is why Foggy doesn’t seem to accept that Matt can’t just give up being Daredevil. He knows Matt, has never known Daredevil so he finds it hard to accept that this soft spoken and charming guy is a brutal and violent vigilante. Matt acts as the mask there. (@ceterisparibus116 very much inspired this take)

(Plus, the (literal) mask isn’t what makes Matt Daredevil. The anonymity it provides allows him to be a vigilante, but removing the mask doesn’t erase what created/fuels Daredevil, it simply removes what enables Matt to physically be Daredevil.)

In short: Daredevil and Matt Murdock are not separate entities. They are simply different characteristics zoomed in on in a way that ignores the other parts entirely. Both are incomplete without the other, both are the mask.

In your au for monster myths, ex. Vampires burning in sun, ghosts can't pass through running (i think) water (dont remember where i first heard that), garlic warding off vampires, and any others you could think of. Which ones would be true and which ones would be false?

Gosh, this is gonna be hard to phrase, but trust me I’ll do my best to elaborate about the world of monsters in “Casper’s Spectral Spectacle”

Vampires burning in the sun? True

Ghosts not passing through water? False

Garlic warding off Vampires? Certain types of vampires, yes

Witches burning? Well, no duh. Yes. Everyone would likely die that way. Unless you were a witch that specialized in elementals

The thing I see with ghosts is that any living creature can become one. It’s not something just solely meant for mortal beings like humans. It’s an inevitable thing that all things must die, and if they pass on, they pass on. If not, they will continue to wander. So I wouldn’t call it a surprise if something like a ghost werewolf came your way. Whether it’s able to attack you is up in the air.

You can never really pinpoint what their capabilities are. It’s all so skewed. In conclusion, ghosts are genuinely a complicated bunch. That’s just a fact.

But so are other monsters.

You can never have a universal understanding of any of these monsters. They can have some kind of similarities, sure, but also differences to contradict your own beliefs. How that came to be is all but irrelevant. Monsters from all walks of life have always been here. It’s just they’ve quietly and swiftly hidden themselves from the rest of the world. With many slipping through due to their own curiosities among other reasons.

(Be best to not overwhelm yourself with finding the origin of why they ALL exist. You’ll just end up going mad. Many already have.)

my friend: hey i just finished my book, what should i read next?

me:

[chaosduckies]

I remember in a previous post you mentioned Ryker had a boyfriend but they broke up do to reasons. Will we ever get more on that?

Yup! Ryker has had a boyfriend before and they did sadly break up. (They were both giants) I was originally planning on writing a little one shot of everything, but I barely have time to write now TwT so I’ll just answer it here! :D (it’s a tiny bit long)

Yes, Ryker has had a boyfriend before Nathan! It was a very unhealthy relationship between the two, with the other not reciprocating feelings for Ryker and when they had, it made Ryker very uncomfortable. (Sexual stuff, they were very manipulative, uncaring) The two had been dating for a couple months, almost a year, and eventually Rykers boyfriend had enough of Ryker. They complained that he was getting tired of Ryker bothering him and that he was just too touchy (hugs, little kisses, holding hands nothing sexual) for his taste. Even though Ryker was usually quiet and caring and didn’t even bother him.

So the guy breaks up with Ryker and leaves him in a little mess. Ryker has a hard time getting back into things and finds out his ex moved somewhere else. But of course that break up changed him, which is why Ryker is always so cautious with touching people, especially Nathan since he didn’t want him to be uncomfortable (little does he know Nathan is touch starved and loves all the hugs, kisses, and being with Ryker as much as possible)

So pretty much Rykers love language is physical touch! He just likes knowing the feeling of someone being there for him and same goes for the opposite as well!

If you would like me to write out a part please let me know! I’ll try my best to get it out as fast as possible if you would like to see a one shot!

Thank you for the ask anon! :D

Is Jughead great at oral given his fixations and appetites or is he actually one of those dudes who never goes down on a lady?

jughead seems like the type to prefer oral sex over anything else and he definitely prefers giving head rather than receiving it. now, is he great at it?? part of me says yes and the other part of me says no. something about him gives off “kinda bad at sex” vibes but since i love him and don’t want to be mean to him i will say he is amazing at it

[artgroves]

I do traditional art a lot, but I can't figure out how to take good pictures. How do you do it?

Hey there, thank you for the message!

In the past I had an dslr camera on a tripod, lights, etc, art pinned up on my easel, but it just took so long to set up and get it right, I got super frustrated with it, expecially as I don't have a dedicated studio space so I had to pack everything up and down each time. Also, the camera would bounce light off the greylead in my pencil work and pictures would have shiny areas that didn't look clean so it was useless. It was a little bit better for my pastel works and took a good size image, but the fishbowl effect was so hard to fix later so if the picture was larger and I needed to move the tripod back a little, the image would be distorted and need adjustments in photoshop afterwards, it all took so damn long and I got really sick of it.

After trying various techniques and set-ups, I now just use my smartphone. I have learned it's really important to have as little movement as possible so I set the art up on a slight angle on my easel to catch the right amount of light on the paper, I brace my elbows/arms on the table, breathe out completely so my body's not moving even for a breath, and snap off a few quick shots on my phone. I take care to line up the picture with the straight edges on the sides, top and bottom so it's centered as well as possible within the frame and not distorted.

I use an iPhone Xs and the camera is awesome for my pencil drawings, it doesn't capture any of the shine off the pencil and the lines always come up nice and crisp.

I hope this helps, let me know if you need more info or detail!

What flavor milkshakes are the rvd characters? Not their preferences but their personalities

Doing the core four. I'm also going with fairly common flavors here, otherwise I would go crazy.

Archie is vanilla. We know this. He is the standard. The generic. The old reliable. He's widely, almost universally, enjoyed. This is not an insult. In a world filled with dubious hybrids and ultra-manufactured pints with cavity-inducing, sense-numbing flavors, he dares to be the lone safe choice.

Veronica prides herself on being different. Not in the same way Jughead does (insert hat quote here,) but in a sense that she wants us to think is both incredibly capable and nuanced. She also has shades of femme fatale sensuality as well as an exotic, glamorous past. For this reason, Veronica is an off-the-menu order. Something along the lines of half chocolate, half cherry or half chocolate, half salted caramel. Topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Jughead is different. Unpopular. Misunderstood. Esoteric. Youth is a curse to him. For that reason, he is pistachio, butter pecan, or rum raisin. Something that is only on the menu because of Jug and a few early bird special frequenters.

Betty is both utterly approachable and deceptively complex. She has depths that both attract and disgust people. In theory she is for everyone, but in practice she is an aquired taste. For this reason, she is a blended root beer float.

darling,

is it ever hard to let your characters make bad decisions? I find often when I’m stuck or when something isn’t working, it’s because I’ve given into the temptation to let characters I’m fond of be too nice, or too correct, or too understanding, when the realer, truer thing to their character is to let them fuck up. and I joke about reading your Manva stories (which I adore) through from behind my fingers, whispering “oh, Manva, no…” every time, but that comes from a place of such admiration for your ability to let her embrace the worst choice, again and again, because it IS the right thing for her and for the story. is it a challenge sometimes? how do you work through that, if so? (I need to learn your ways!)

The sorry answer is that most of my OCs are just awful people lmao and they just will make poor choices.

But on a more serious note, I think it is because I’m so often interested in people’s flaws and foibles and I will always want to do what serves the story first. And sometimes that does mean killing your darlings (often it’s subplots or the appearance of more characters for me) or making hard choices.

Manva is an unusual one because she exists primarily to be a tragedy - her story is purely about the tragic inevitability that comes with carving yourself to ribbons for devotion, so it’s easy to let her make the poor decisions because that’s what she’s there to do. But for other characters, like the origin characters and nicer OCs like Glim and Meroia, I just have to take a breath and think through a few points:

If they are under pressure from the story, would they revert to their worst instincts?

If not, why not? Are they supported by another character? Do they feel safe? How does that impact their view of themselves?

Because the reality is even the nicest characters have those flaws. Wyll is self-sacrificing to a fault and will tear himself to pieces for somebody he loves. Halsin can’t cope with being taken out of his comfort zone and becomes prickly and difficult. Karlach is sunshine, yes, but she’s also fury and rage and pain and will fly off the handle. You just have to be realistic on what they do under pressure and then to me it becomes easy.

Because we love people at their best and worst you know? And that’s doubly true of characters I’m writing.

homecoming or jesus of suburbia?

*dissapears into the void*

YOO!! HEYY MY FELLOW GREEN DAY AND DPS FAN 🤭

This is actually such a fucking good question, like actually.

I personally like Jesus of Suburbia better, just because I've known it longer- but I love Homecoming too because of Mike & Tres solo ngl

(Legit listening to She rn)

WHAT'S YOURS, PLUS FAVOURITE GREEN DAY SONG??? mines King for a Day :>

[happyhealthycats]

I have a question for you: my cat (7f) loves to lick my armpit. She really loves waking me up by licking my armpits. Why does she do this? Is she just strange?

Cats socialize by scent mingling with others that they feel safe with and love! It can just...get a little confusing when the cat in question wants to scent mingle where you smell the MOST like you - in your armpits or possibly in your groin.

It might look weird, but it's coming from a really sweet place. She likes your smells!

[ask-harvey]

Hello hello. A simple question to make you think.

If you were a Pokémon trainer, who would be your main?

pokemon…? hm… if there are any pokemon that specialize or have associations with healing, i feel i’d resonate most with that.

perhaps audino, chansey, or potentially a grass-type with special healing abilities? if any other ideas come to mind i would love to know.
