Let it be known I did NOT make Valin with love when I was creating a Warlock for myself. I'd made it to the Farm twice with two other attempted Warlocks but the vibes were off, so I decided to try a new beast entirely and made a Valin. He was originally going to have black hair and patternations but I found it too boring...

The red was garish and I wasn't too sure I liked what I had made but I decided to commit to that horrible beast and he has since grown on me like a fungus.

1, 2, 5 for the art ask game please? ❤️

yey!

1 - When did you start creating art?

early af. i think i started drawing with like 3 or 4 years old. i still have some of them and there's video footage of me trying to 'teach' my brother how to draw

even if it's just scribbles, i consider it art :P

2 - Do you do art in any professional capacity?

kinda, yeah. i write texts, film and do photography, dabble in graphic design and sometimes storyboard for the small agency I work at. I rarely get to be fully creative, but I think it still counts

5 - What piece of art are you still proud of today?

gosh. a lot of them, actually. I am not someone who looks at old art and goes 'eww i was so bad', because I just was younger. And I always was better at it than my agemates.

one thing I'll never forget was an essay i wrote in school when I was... 14? (when I say essay I mean it was just you had 2 hours to write something, really. I think you always got three themes to chose from and you didn't have to do an essay essay, you could just write whatever) and I asked the teacher if I could bring in unicorns and she said sure, if i could make it work.

so i wrote a story about two children being abducted by a society of underground-dwelling, sparkle-vomiting pink unicorns who ate humans and farmed cabbage. All while still incorporating the theme i chose.

she did not want to give me a 6 (our best mark), but she, ad i quote, 'had to, because yes, she allowed me to write about unicorns'

as for paintings, i have these two i have pictures of

the first one being my favorite one of twelve oilpaintings i did as my matura work (kinda a final big project you do to finish gymnasium, i chose art) painted like what it's like to see the world from my eyes (i have myopia)

and the second one is a painting i did of two friends in like an hour at 2 in the night during an event at a local art museum and i did it with scrap paints and completely without reference (and they both turned out pretty recognizable) which was a lot of fun

What's your favorite class outfit for Djeeta?

90% of the time I'd say Chrysaor (to the point that I sometimes forget that isn't her base outfit, whoops), but setting aside Sage and Superstar that I've already mentioned, I adore Hermit so, so much.

Look at the big, poofy dress! The giant leaf-bows! Her pretty socks! The contrast between all that and her dangerous-looking staff! :D

I've hopefully mentioned before that my (interpretation of) Djeeta has way more in common with how Gran is interpreted in the spin-offs, plus my own kinks tastes for flavor? Well, to me the Hermit outfit feels the most like my Djeeta when Belial isn't in the picture: serious, thoughtful, willing to step back and let others do what they do best while she waits for the right time to act. Also, cute. Can't forget cute, it's very important!

And then there's the Superstar outfit, or as I like to call it "the closest thing to her Princess form that we have in the game so far":

When I first started playing and read the Paradise Lost rerun, this was the Class I aimed for. If I was going to keep losing to Belial, Djeeta was going to look her sexy-cutest. XD In my headcanon/Perverted Princess AU, it's one of the few Classes besides Sage she can use effectively these days. She's so easily distracted, you see~.

My parents met at a science fiction convention, and in that community children are precious little monsters. Everyone keeps an eye on them, encourages them, gives them fake weaponry and encourages fake fights to the death, etc. this means that I have been raised being pulled into high level science discussions I have no background in by adults ranging from 20-60 years older than me since I could talk. Being asked what one thinks about speculative science, in all seriousness, by someone whose day job is relevant to the topic at hand seems inconsequential to a 5 year old, but looking back, it was a major confidence booster. Yeah some of that was “haha kids are so funny” and some of that was “I want to see if I’m explaining this well so check that the presumed-least-likely to understand person is catching this,” but some of it was just wanted to keep me included in conversations. I know I can ask questions, because my parents taught me that, and because their social circle reinforced the lesson.

I have friends my parents’ ages and older (and younger, but still with a significant generational gap) that are not my parents friends. If I need an adult (more adult, ig, since I’m technically full grown) opinion and don’t want it filtering back to my parents, I have options to reach out to, which in turn actually makes me feel safer talking to my parents.

Interpersonal advice, bouncing fandom ideas (“oh that works great because—,” and “oh but x couldn’t have happened in y unless we change a b and c” “oh yeah that didn’t exist in that year, we did this other thing then”), life advice, all are wonderful things to share with people of different experiences, whether that’s age or culture.

I cannot stress enough how much having people—in real life especially, but also online—who are significantly older than me but are still my friends and equals has helped me be more aware of my own need and how I handle myself, and how to act like I deserve respect while not disrespecting anyone around me.

There is a phrase “it takes a whole village to raise one child,” and that phrase exists because it is true. Be that a friend’s child, or one of your neighbors, or just someone else in the fandom, we’re all a village.

I hope I can be the funky weird older friend who helps someone else take off their rose tinted glasses of adults while helping them grow, like so many others have been for me

Sometimes when people on the Internet are like "ADULTS CAN NEVER INTERACT WITH MINORS IT'S CREEPY" I remember how, at 12, back in 1997, I was on the Witchvox forums with people ranging from me to people in at least their 50s, and no one there was ever a creep to me, no one ever made me feel uncomfortable or asked for my personal info, and when I finally broke down after a particularly brutal day of bullying at school and posted about it they were the first adults I'd ever met in my entire life who told me the bullies were the problem and it was okay to be angry about it.

Kids need to interact with adults who will listen to them.

you'd think that having to study rizal's books extensively, twice (once in high school, once in university) I would get sick of them, but I... kinda want to revisit noli me tangere? and el fili, of course

I remember watching a play of noli once and was just so moved by the actress for sisa. and I mean, who wouldn't be
