Hi, I vaguely remember you saying that Tim and Bernard are dating in LoF, but honestly that might have just been a dream or something. Are they, and if so, does Bernard know about the bats being the bats? I really love Bernard, so Im curious if hell show up :3

they are! tim and bernard are together, but im debating if i want kon to be together with them already or "they haven't made it official (at least publicly) but everyone knows." bernard knows about the Bats atp and I'm fairly certain I want him to at least be in the background for friendsgiving

Inspired by one of you previous arts, do you think L and Light both bite each other’s lips, or does Light only bite L’s?

Anon, this question really made me think. So much so I had to put pen to paper. And I think I’ve decided that in classic lawlight fashion they both are biters, but their executions are where the similarities end.

Hey I just wanted to thank you as a queer Jewish woman for calling out that dick calling you a Zionist just for believing Jews deserve to be safe and to have self-determination while also acknowledging how Zionism is board spectrum of beliefs in regard to that self determination of the Jewish people and what it could entail and not a catch all term term for 'bloodthirsty colonizer' despite how non Jewish people are using it and the Nazi propaganda that comes along with it. Yes there are branches within the movement that do have anti-arab rhetoric but as a whole it's all about the right to return to their homeland and self determination.

You should definitely want better for those who live in the Gaza strip and I do hope one day Palestine will have statehood and self determination of their own but that isn't gonna happen until both sides work out their history and hateful rhetoric and of course jihadist like Hamas no longer in power and people such as Netanyahu out of office.

(Sorry to break to most of you but neither Israel or Palestine are going anywhere and those who are chanting 'death to Israel' are fucking hypocrites considering half of the world's Jewish population live there. You can't be against genocide but then turn around and say you support genocide of a group you don't like. Also Biden has been trying to keep Bibi (Netanyahu) under control on the tactics used to fight Hamas and has been pushing for a ceasefire for a year because what happened on Oct 7th was nothing but evil but at this point I think most of us just want the hostages home. Trump will let Bibi do whatever he wants now that he's back in the white house and won't hold back. Most of the general Israel population want peace and believe in the two state ideas as do a lot of Jews outside of Israel. The government sucks but the people are no different than you and me)

Most of this site seems to have fallen into antisemitism and won't listen to Jewish voices so it's a breath of fresh air to see someone be an ally and call this shit out. Thank you.

(ps you don't need to reply to this I just wanted to send this)

Hello, I am doing my best to share Jewish voices and raise awareness about and combat the rampant antisemitism on this site. I am glad to know that I am helping at least a little bit!

AHHH I'M SO SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY 😭 I missed your ask for a long time 🥲

Thank you so much! I'm happy you liked my art of them! Hope this little piece reaches you <3

wanting to make a killjoysona, how should i come up with a name??

hi anon! danger days names tend to be. very connected to themes of the desert, items, drinks, onomatopeia, electrical, general end-of-the-world related terms and aesthetics. a Lot of it is based off imagery. or items! words such as crackle, zinger, electric, fizz all give off a specific aesthetic or connotation. i guess pairing an interesting and evocative word with another that is similar yet different can slot together a sick ass killjoy name! (ex: slingshot radio! does it make sense? not really. can you give it meaning? HELL YES. plus it makes u sound badass.)

sure you can throw two words together that have no connection to your killjoy can work. but think of what they pride themselves on. where do they go? what do they value? what items do you associate with killjoys? what Sounds smooth and easy to visualise?

as a certified monster-fucker... you might already get a gist of who I'll be romancing 🌚

jokes aside EVEN IF MY TASTES R SKEWED AND QUESTIONABLE, I am a vanilla at heart. So, please tell me how the ROs will react with the MC asking for a hug/cuddle? (Romanced ofc) I dunno how it'll be for Vesper but maybe once it's like, out of the tank?

I DUNNO I JUST LOVE SNUGGLES THEY SEEM MORE INTIMATE THAN KISSING. Thank you! love ur work so far<333

oh wow @monsterfucker6969 #1 Monster Fucker, i would've never guessed you're into this kind of stuff :O heh kidding, thank you for the support, let me get to the reactions!

Pharo loves physical affection, especially when it comes from someone he's interested in, so be sure he'll take all the hugs and cuddles he can get! with a romanced MC, he'll definitely bring them to his own bed since it's huge and really comfy. cuddle session starts NOW!

Odessa is not big on physical affection at all, at least with people she doesn't trust or know very well, due to her past as a [REDACTED]. she might need a bit of coaxing to get into a cuddling session fully, but she's all in once it starts with a romanced MC. she might even fall asleep like that in MC's arms. with her heels still on, obviously.

Vesper would love some hugs and cuddles! too bad its stuck in its tank. Vesper will give MC longing, pleading puppy eyes looks and open its arms wide to signal that it wants a hug or cuddle. MC might be tempted to give it that. better not though, never open the tank! they can fake cuddle through the glass. oorrrr ... if romanced MC helps Vesper to [REDACTED] then they can hug and cuddle as much as they want, since Vesper would turn to how it was before it became, well, Vesper.

is...is Russell not Sam's real last name? cause you've said before that Sam's full name is "Samuel Thomas Holmes" so is Russell just a stage name or...?

Hello!! Yes, Russell is a stage name :)

His full name is Samuel (Sam) Thomas Holmes but he uses Sam Russell because there was already a Sam Holmes in the industry, and he chose Sam Russell because it’s his mums last name (she’s an actress so that might have been part of the reason he chose to go with the same thing as her but that’s just a guess of mine)

Tom’s name is also similar in that his last name is Mayo but he used Tom Woodman for his comic (called Future) because there was already a T Mayo in the comic book industry. (And to my knowledge Woodman is also his mothers maiden name)

BB Positivity Time! <3 What would be an ideal episode plot focusing on your favorite character? What about your favorite ship? Finally, your favorite familial/platonic relationship? Feel free to be as brief or or as detailed as you like!

From the bottom of my heart, I want an episode where Zeke works in the restaurant with the Belchers. I want Bob trusting him in the grill while he has to run out to help Teddy with something (that can be the B plot). I want Louise trying to pull him into shenanigans but him being like "no I was trusted here I gotta do this." I want Linda comforting him after he messes up some orders from stress and giving him a big ol hug. I want Tina seeing how reliable he is and warming up to him even more. Then I want Bob coming back and being impressed with his skills and telling him good job, which makes my boy tear up and smile so big. And if it ended with him and Tina complimenting each other and maybe JUST MAYBE her blushing, I could pass away peacefully. I am begging the writers for another episode with my boy just being with the family, that is all I want. 😭😭

fav listener oc?? from any channel

I can't choose exactly one since I have a lot of favorites so I'll just list a few!

1. Darlin', Angel, Lovely, Sweetheart and Dear from Redacted Audios

2. Dennys and Intern from Escaped Audios

3. Casper from YuuriVoice

4. Cheeky from Scythe Audios

5. The listener for Daz from Sirens Son ASMR

6. The halfblood listener for Leo from Sirens Son ASMR

I'm probably missing a few since I'm at work but these guys come to mind first whenever I'm daydreaming about those specific audio roleplay channels.

This is like THE question of the ages but here goes. Is your Raphael capable of love? It is my understanding that devils are capable of an obsessive, manipulative, perverted version of it; but the Raphael in your fics has a particular human fallibility that is endearing, and a willingness to entertain those follies (for the sake of his favorite mouse) that I’m wondering if it’s possible that he would (accidentally) fall in love in a mortal sense, going against his fiendish nature (it would have to be a very special mouse). I’d love to hear your take on his fiend/human dichotomy. 🫶

what a fabulous question. thank you for asking! I've thought a lot about this and I always come to the same conclusion: yes, my Raphael is in fact capable of love. there is a "however" which I will get to shortly.

let me first say that I really simply do not care about canon. bro lives in my head rent-free as his own entity and does not necessarily fit DnD/BG lore in that space. that's just a disclaimer, take it as you will.

Raphael's love with my Tav (both generic and my Eris specifically) is definitely just magnetic obsession at first until they realize how hard they match each other's freak. he power plays and power plays and power plays, letting his mouse in ON HIS TERMS ALONE until it's too late and she's as much a part of him as he is of her. fwiw, Tav/Eris's love is the same as his - but his makes him more human and hers makes her less, all for better or for worse. and I think his capacity for love has so much to do with the other person in the equation, which is extremely human of him - Tav pushes him back and needles him but also worships him in her own way, taking on some of his traits the more time she spends with him. some of that is unconscious and some is fully intentional. it's all a part of the Game, which, for her, is Understanding (literally figuring out what makes him tick), while for him it's Winning (taking what he knows of her and using/manipulating it however he wants). Raphael is a narcissist and naturally loves himself most of all, but once he sees himself reflected in another person I think that unlocks a new layer of longing and deep connection within him.

I've used the lyric I won't speak of love since the beginning of writing about the two of them and it's always gonna fit. Tav/Eris knows what the feeling is on both sides, because she is 100% human and overly perceptive, intuitive, and insightful. but she is smart enough not to push that understanding onto Raphael because attempting to force him to admit what he perceives as a weakness would destroy their dynamic.

which brings me to my main point: again, yes, he is capable of love. he is even capable of unconditional love.

BUT

he will not accept that about himself, even for a moment. his love is obsessive and manipulative and perverted OF COURSE but it's also his purest emotion, which is an embarrassment. he will ignore the truth of what it is fully out of pride. if Eris pushed him to acknowledge it he would drop her in an instant and shed all remaining traces of his humanity. it's simultaneously the strongest connection he has with anyone and the thinnest tightrope of a line they could possibly walk - but they complement each other so well that they've somehow found that perfect unacknowledged balance. Eris is prideful too but understands that to maintain the status quo she MUST swallow some of her pride and allow Raphael to keep up appearances for his own sake - which is one of her major ways of showing love from her side.

he loves her purely and earnestly and deeply but he will ALWAYS love himself and his image more. some might say that means he is not capable of real love but I think the two can coexist! people are complicated!

this is fun to think about and I really hope it makes any kind of coherent sense all written out.

If you could make any rare swing a permanent character, who would it be?

Good question! I think I would pick Golden!NBQ, either the version of the character played by this unnamed actress (left) or Summer Strallen. I love the Jellylorum wig shape and I think she stands out against the other queens, especially in the left design.

BROTHER WHAT.

THATS A BLOODY FACIST

[logs-pods]

HI SORRY TO LIKE RANDOMLY ASK FOR ISO ADVICE

I wanna keep some isopods! (i hear dairy cows are a good beginning) Do u think this container would be good if i drilled small holes close to the top? if not do u have any recommendations for a beginner? (id be keeping 10-20 isopods at the start)

Hi! No problem at all I'm happy to give advice.

Ramblings to follow:

If your planning on turning this box to the side so that the door opens on the top, I think this would be a pretty good size for a starter colony, a little on the small side tho. Most species need a fair amount of ventilation, so either plenty of small holes or a larger hole with mesh over it would be the way to go. ( Btw in my experience acrylic can be hard to drill with out a power tool so just something to keep in mind for this specific box)

Something to remember when choosing a container is that your isopods will continuously breed and make more babies forever- so you either have to be prepared to size up their home, cull or split your population.

For that reason some people recommend starting with a bigger container. Personally I keep my colonies in tubs of a similar size (bit bigger and I wish I could upscale) to this because ive had to move a lot and have limited space rn. But because of that I do have to periodically cull / give away isopods. It's a sad reality but it's the ethical thing to do over letting your isopods live In overcrowded and unhealthy conditions.

For that reason I actually recommend a slightly slower growing and reproducing species like something in the Armadillidium genus. There are tons of A. vulgare morphs that are affordable and beautiful. Zebra isopods (A. maculatum) are also a great starter.

Dairy cows, powders and P. scaber are some of the easiest and cheapest pods to keep but they reproduce wildly fast to a point where I personally don't enjoy keeping them as much.

What is one scene (or just a specific thing or whatever. Anything that isn't too spoilery) that you're really excited to write for swsa? :3

Oooo, excellent question!

There are three big scenes that I'm really REALLY excited to share. Most of them are going to be very difficult for me to write, but they'll be worth it.

In order to avoid spoilers, I'll give two keywords to describe each scene.
