#ITS JUST THIS IS THE FUNNIER ANSWER

🍀 🙌 🎼

🍀 You wish your art was more..(fill in the blank)

[ID: The artist's sona laying on his stomach, kicking his feet, saying "...fluid? It feels like most of my more Finished art is super stiff." the word Finished is underlined /End ID]

I feel like I need to get better about keeping the energy in my sketches when I go to do lineart

🙌 Draw a doodle with your non-dominant hand

[ID: The artist's sona facing the camera, drawn with very shaky lines. He's saying "help." /End ID]

🎼 Your favorite music to draw to right now?

[ID: A series of images of the artist's sona looking away from the camera and sweating. In the second image he is saying "well..." and there is an overlay of a spotify playlist titled "im jormal (jean normal)" The cover for the playlist is the art for "Jort Storm (Radio Edit)" by Slimecicle /End ID]

I don't know if favorite is the right word for this.... But I've definitely been listening to a lot of Jort Storm when I draw because its just so easy for my brain to vibe to! Like, I don't really hear the words anymore it's just noise to satisfy the part of me that doesn't want to hear the rest of the house when I draw

Dp x Dc wherein learning magic is similar to learning how to play music. 

So basically, the creation of a summoning spell is like a full composition/song made of smaller components or ‘notes’ for things like gravity shifting, and geolocation, and transportation etc. which is why Magic can be taught and spells can be man-made. 

Danny, however, is the equivalent of having Perfect Pitch. He can compose entire songs of spells without really thinking about it due to his royal titles (ambassador/king/high prince) but doesn’t really know how to be specific which lands him in some trouble with Clockwork. His portals are coming along a lot better with the help of Wulf but its critical that Danny learns how to control the range of his magic *something something, for the timestream something* *blah blah according to the will of the ancients blah blah*. 

So put on the course to learn Magic, Danny decides to hunt down the House of Mystery and study up by himself. He’s doing community college online, what could a little bit of Magic self study really do to his schedule? This place has literally every magic resource he could need! 

Turns out he has a roommate in the House of Mystery- John Constantine does not take well to the fact that half of the spells Danny is creating are causing him issues with the JL. Random shit appearing, random shit disappearing, portals everywhere and don’t get him started on the fucking ICE present on every bloody thing the magic reaches. Not to mention there is no reason a normal human kid should be able to have this much power behind his spells. 

John attempts to teach Danny the basics like a little kid gets stickers placed on the keys of a piano. The problem is Danny has the ability to compose entire scores of Magic all on his own, and absolutely abhors the training wheels John is putting on him. 

Danny: You’re patronizing me! 

John: You deserve to be patronized. 

Just like, Danny learning Magic in various ways that you might teach kids to play musical instruments from the various Magic users in the JLD. Causing chaos along the way, found family, the whole nine. Stickers on the instruments for notes, taking away guitar strings that are ‘more advanced’ and replaying Twinkle, Twinkle little star over and over again. 

Danny can play the Magic equivalent of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake but cannot play Chopsticks.

I know it's common for, in radiostatic fics that get rid of Valentino, to get rid of the pornography empire they have, and I GET why, but in my own personal opinion I don't think it's always the best move

In my Housewife Vox AU, I've kept that part of the media empire Vox owns and simply changed ownership of being the overlord in charge of that to be Angel Dust (owned by Alastor) - (in the original deal, Val and Vox's agreement was a lot more equal, but to exert control, prevent a power grab, and make sure Angel can't do anything to hurt Vox or his empire, Alastor took Angel's soul)

(I also hate Val, so I did have him killed in the 80/90s and Angel taking over THEN, but even still, in my AU, Vox did decide to partner with Valentino to add control over hell's pornography into his empire because it'd be foolish not to, considering the power that would add)

Because, like, IMO the issue with that section of visual media was because of HOW Valentino was doing it (abusing his staff, using his venom to coerce people into it, creating the date rape drugs, etc) - but if you take that part out, it makes more sense for a media mogul who owns as much of the media and technology in the Pride Ring he can TO also have a monopoly on the pornography available - it's not like simply not owning it would mean it doesn't exist, so you might as well be the one to do it, do it right, and get the money from it, yeah?

I do think, though, that once Angel took over, he and Vox DID go over all of Val's previous contracts to make sure their employees still wanted the job they had signed their souls over for - the ones who didn't want to do pornography anymore were simply moved to other jobs; and Angel doesn't have issues signing new people on (even/especially without the drugging) because the contracts are relatively fair and the staff treatment at the studio is fine, so for many freshly fallen it's a good way to not be begging on the streets and to have a steady income

ALSO, because Alastor would go ballistic if any of Angel's employees hit on Vox or tried to get him to sleep with them, ALASTOR is usually the one visiting Angel at the studio when the need arises (he's not particularly bothered by sex work, he just has no interest in partaking in any part of it and generally doesn't want to think about it)

Alastor is aware of himself enough to know that if Vox came home smelling like the sinners and sex of the studio, he wouldn't be able to control the rampage he'd go on and would unintentionally clear out half of Angel's employees - which would be bad for Vox

Angel agrees, because no matter HOW many times he warns his employees not to, some will inevitably still hit on Alastor - who just ignores it and doesn't see it as anything relevant (so Vox never finds out to be the one murdering them) - but if Alastor saw/heard/smelled even a hint of them flirting with Vox it'd be a bloodbath worse than when he killed Val

Also, ironically, Angel can flirt with them both with no repercussions because somehow neither of them see him as a threat, and other than very close to his rut, Alastor considers Angel's scent on Vox not something to be alarmed about - like he's fine with Rosie and Niffty's scents as well

(Angel will never admit even under threat of death, but if Alastor and Vox ever did seriously take up his offer to be their third in the bedroom he's jumping at the chance - but he knows the only reason he's alive is because they think it's a joke. It's not. He knows it'll almost definitely never happen, but if the offer ever comes up, he's saying yes, immediately, lol).

Emotions are high and the vibes could not be better today!

"Pretty awesome. Lot of emotions. Feels pretty hefty but like, fuck we're Stanley Cup Champions!"

When asked who the Cup is for? No hesitation, the fans.

"They sponsor us. It's for them. It's for them. Like they deserve it, they've been waiting for it, like it's for them."

how do you endear yourself to the fans? i think chugging a brewski while they chant your name will do it! and also complimenting them that too oh what a darling

i flip flop a lot between anti sex anti horny xander and xander who chose his retainers purely by thinking with his dick like sorry i dont believe you picked laslow and peri based purely on objective measures i think you saw laslow almost knock you on your ass and show you last minute mercy and it did something to you. i think you saw peri hit a crit in that tourney, messy ass mascara and everything, and fell to your knees. like theres no way. THERES NOOOO WAY.

[funnierasafictive]

some advice i see a lot regarding how to tell if someone is a fictive or just a character that the person is imagining is to try to imagine them doing something they wouldn't and see if it feels wrong or if they flat out refuse but i was wondering is there any way to tell if you've just imagined them refusing? like, if it's more in character for them to do so is that not simply where your mind would go? how can you tell whether there's a person behind it or whether it's just that your mind itself doesn't want to cooperate??

Honestly, I'm not sure how to answer that. BUT, it does remind me of when our old host met Jaiden (not a fictive) and they read that a way to check if someone is really sentient, you do this specific exercise about balancing a feather on their noise or something. Honestly none of us remember the point of it or how it would have worked, but what happened was, Jaiden was already Real. He split real, Jamie just wasn't sure (thank you denial). Because Jaiden cared about Jamie, he indulged him and did the exercises. But it would go on for DAYS to the point where Jaiden literally told Jamie to just "stop". "I'm real!" and even if Jamie told him to do these exercises, it was annoying him.

So yes, having them do something they'd like is an option. But have you considered annoying them to the point where they snap at you?? SKDFJS

OF COURSE DONT like. put yourselves on bad terms. but its something to think about. A lot of the time when we're in denial, the person we/the current front is in denial about, starts getting annoyed, and then we feel bad about hurting their feelings.

So I'm not your therapist and I can't tell you what's what- but I guess you could also think.. "If I annoyed them, and they react badly to me annoying them, and that feeling of them scolding me makes me feel bad.. why would I ever make that up?"

Also give it some time. Sometimes if a split is new (or you think someone just split) it'll be hard to tell. Denial is a BITCH. If you already are used to having alters or system members in general, The fictive who just split WILL eventually be comfortable enough to be "concrete enough" with you, if they already even know who they are. maybe your brain itself is still figuring things out. We talk about splitting as a community a lot--where spliting is usually depicted as like this FAST thing. but sometimes its slow! which DOESNT help if youre trying to figure out if you have someone or not!

rogue trader asks

2. What is their Origin? Who were they before they became a Rogue Trader?

Lilith was initially enrolled into the Schola Progenium and divined the roll of Commissar. She was stationed on a Death World at the fringe of the Jericho Reach: Lotis VII. The world was rich in Flogiston and Promethium, but was atmospherically toxic and overrun with jungle. Making the world a crucial death trap for the sector. During her time serving, she uncovered a plot to conduct experiments on the guardsman and local population (what little local population was left) by a heretek Magos Biologis. In collusion with some of her fellow officers of her regimen, the experiments intended to create a new strand of super soldiers. Splicing Tyranid DNA with humans. This garnered her much renown and accolades for her service to Humanity. But cost the lives of many fellow guardsmen. In Lilith's eyes, she failed in her fundamental duty as a Commissar: keep her regimen faithful and alive.

In spite of her own feelings on the matter, the triumph caught the eye of the Inquisition. Specifically Inquisitor Corvin Ambrose of the Ordo Millitarum. Lilith was, subsequently, taken as an Acolyte of the Inquisition. She was excited by the proposition-- believing that this may be the path the Emperor had intended for her. But Inqusitor Ambrose had other intentions for what Lilith could bring to his retinue-- and had already begun slipping into more Radical ways of thinking. Leaving Lilith to make a choice: keep her head down and accept the second chance she was afforded in the Inquisiton or continue to be the stubborn, shrewd and faithful servant of the Emperor and Omnissiah that she was.

She chose the latter and it won her a bullet in the head.

24. Do they place value in how their protectorate sees them? Does this sway their decisions at all?

Yes. Lilith approaches her Protectorate much like she did the soldiers in the Imperial Gaurd. Tough but fair, lead by example, listen to what they have to say and smack them when they're being stupid. It doesn't do a regiment any good if their leader is all talk and has no regard for those she is supposedly in charge of. That is a quick way to break faith and sew possible sedition, in her mind.

Read the notes for my genfic where Julius gets dosed with a truth serum and becomes uncomfortably honest about how much he doesn’t want Ludger to leave him and damn. Ludger is just speedrunning Stockholm syndrome.

Ludger: My brother is freaking me out admitting he’s tracking my phone and wanting me to stay at home with him instead of getting a job and moving out

Also Ludger once the effect fades and Julius is back to being responsible and self-loathing: what do you MEAN you don’t want me to stay with you forever 🥺🥺🥺

You can call me crazy, but am I the only one who think seeing MC smile so much on this book is weird? For me, it doesn't feel like her, even if she's with Trystan. Because those smiles where so rare and special to me, and know we get them too often.
