#This ask was sooo fun Thank you so much

[packedice]

what genres of music does each aqours member like to listen to? i think all of guilty kiss are metal fans

This needs to be under a readmore. i... genuienly thought i coudl get through this without needing it but im pausing like halfway in because.... yeah she needs it

Something tells me you listens to like the most radio pop ever. just anything about YEAAAHH LIFE IS AWESOME LETS PARTY ABOUT ITTTT!!!!!!! and also mildly angsty poppunk stuff (and thinks about the Great Chikariko'ing of her life from s1)

and chika is of course a theater kid... im influenced by anju (her seiyuu) being a MASSIVE THEATER KID but also every one of her solos is theatrical soooo. Who's overthinking it its not me!!!!

Ruby of course listens to jpop the most. i think she tried to get into kpop (time period accurate ofc so 3rd gen ish iirc) but i think some of the industry differences + the general Sound Differences make her not very interested. I think also ruby would like izone (i never was into them so idk about canon time accuracy but imagine.)

and then dia loves jpop too obvs but i think she genuinely listens to a litlte bit of everything. i think mari's metal interest (youre so right btw about gk) bleeds into kanadia because once that throuple stops being toxic they are INNNNSEPARABLEEEEEEE..... but dia genuinely likes anything. shes into idol music, shes into more heavy stuff, shes into radio pop, shes into retro, while she doesnt love ANY SONG OF ANY GENRE, she can definitely get into SOME SONGS of any genre! i think dia really really enoys music as a hobby in general so she enjoys trying and finding new things. growing up being fixated on idol culture and music will to taht to you.....

SO OF COURSE MARI LISTENS TO METAL. i think though new winding road is a really interesting tell into her other interests. (...ignoring that her seiyuu is an insanely talented traditional singer (is that the right word. im sorry im high and blanking. please correct me ifthis is like... weird white person vague and i will fix im just soo high and cant think)

hanamaru listened to music but i think was not much of a "Music Consumer" until she was a little older so i think as a result she mostly listens to songs her friends listen to too... her and kanan both i think listen a lot to the actual style Of azalea songs. like edm or whatever. kanan is also a pop radio kinda girly. just whatever plays in her parents shop while shes working etc

yohane liste4ns to ANYYYTHINGGG metal and ANYYYTHINGGG thats like Ohhhh i hate m,yselffff Ohhh im so evillllll... any genre if the lyrics speak to her not being the biggest fan of herself side OR her "little devil" hehe Im evil for fun side.... Ya. its on the playlist. Forrrr sure. To me also the most yohane gk song is kowareyasuki and because of t hat i think songs that sound similar to that are also super up her alley

I will admit i have not been a friend of riko until recently starting to like her a little more.... so my answer is very basic with metal and like piano instrumental/ballads/cute poppy love songs

hiccuping tears into the shoulder + ranchers by chance?

hiccuping tears into their shoulder (1087 words) (x)

For the first time in a good, long portion of his life, Tango despises how silent the night gets. It's not without its natural noise—the balmy, sticky humidity and breeze in the grass, or the crickets, the cicadas quieting down, the sounds of animals rearranging themselves to a comfier sleeping arrangement. He should be doing the same, but he's sitting on the edge of the bed, his spine a rigid line. He can feel the blood in his body, he can feel the spaces where his muscles connect to each other, with every breath he can feel his lungs separate out the oxygen. It's at the very least startling, and at the very most, he feels like he might dissolve on the spot if touched. 

Tango knows how death feels—painless respawn and a few seasons of a life game behind him, but to feel someone else die, too. The echo of death alongside your own. He didn't like that! Not good at all. All his blood and heartbeat-y things are rushing around in his ears. He doesn't even hear Jimmy the first time he speaks up from the other side of the bed, with how his voice scrapes out.

"I didn't know they were aiming for us," Jimmy says.

"Of course not," Tango says, furrowing his eyebrows. "I know you didn't."

He's still looking at his hands, running his thumb over the lines in his palm and pushing into the tiny bones and muscle there. Jimmy flexes his hands like he can feel the pressure and bones moving around. He watches him fold his hand tight around each other and slump, pulling his shoulders to his chest. His breath squeezes in his chest as Jimmy deflates tiredly.

"I just don't want you to think—"

"I'm not gonna think this is your fault, alright?" Tango says, frowning at him. "Why would I?"

Jimmy sighs. His jaw works.

"Cause it usually is," he grits. Tango scrunches his nose on instinct, recoiling out of habit before he manages:

"That's not fair, man."

"This whole game isn't far!" Jimmy huffs, waving a hand about.

"Sure but—"

"But nothing, Tango. I just—I can't lose and drag you with me. That's more than not fair."

"I don't care."

"I care."

Before Tango can argue, though, he tastes the faintest hints of anger and frustration at the back of his mouth fade. He watches Jimmy's face contort as he tries to come up with a better sentence, something he probably thinks Tango deserves. Maybe an apology. 

Tango just looks at him. He kind of feels bad, that little bit of gut wrenching cold that trickles in, but mostly he's just confused. Jimmy's words bat around in his brain like dust particles. Dust bunnies. He definitely assumed they were done with this. That maybe Jimmy made peace like he did—though really he hadn't had that much time to make peace, if he's being honest. He's still bitter. He's sure a lot of people are still bitter. But in terms of Jimmy's whole situation? It's not like it could be helped. They just had to be careful. So Tango was being careful, and Jimmy was taking what Tango thought was a calculated risk, so he was mad, sure, but he couldn't really stay mad for a long time. So he takes a long breath and sighs it out his nose. It still tastes surprisingly reminiscent of smoke.

"So what are we going to do?" he asks softly. Jimmy inhales.

"I don't know," he says. "Go to bed? Wake up and start planning?"

Tango hums plainly. He likes that idea. The small spool of feeling in his chest that must belong to Jimmy gives a little tug, like it wanted to take him down with it. 

"Yeah," Tango says, voice coming hoarse. "Yeah, I think so."

For a moment, Tango runs his tongue over his teeth, runs his thumbs over the seams of his knees. He sighs, and then he leans into Jimmy's shoulder with a definitive huff. He's tired. From the ache in his bones, to the breathlessness of dying, to just taking in Jimmy's stress. Man. He's exhausted. Jimmy snorts quietly. He feels him press his cheek against Tango's head. The hand Jimmy had been fiddling with in his lap ends up at the base of his spine, splayed over the fabric. Tango squeezes his eyes shut.

"Thanks Tango," Jimmy says shakily. He sounds like he's on the knife's edge of crying, so Tango fumbles out a hand and lands it solidly on his knee. It's not a terribly comfortable thing to stretch one of his achy shoulders or biceps that far but he does anyway, and Jimmy huffs out a damp laugh. "Guess I'm just... pissed off."

Tango snorts.

"If you think you're pissed, just wait until they rile me up," he says into the fabric of Jimmy's shirt. Jimmy laughs. Tango tries to hold in a grin that he also smothers into his shoulder, but fails. Jimmy's hand skips over his knuckles and squeezes the hand on his knee.

"Sure thing, Rancher," he teases. Tango makes a half-suppressed noise of indignation, squeaking as he bolts upright. He nearly knocks into Jimmy's jaw as he untangles himself with all the grace of a cat trying to weasel out of someone's arms. 

"I'm just sayin'," he grumbles, crinkling his nose. "You seem like you're in a better mood though."

Jimmy sighs, rounding out his shoulders. 

"Think so," he says, working his cheek between his teeth. Tango feels the sensation of prodding in his mouth. Bleh. "Think so."

"Probably a good idea to make good on that sleeping... thing,” he says, reaching up to scrub at his eyes. He barely stifles a yawn as Jimmy stretches, twisting his tall body around in a way that feels surprisingly pleasant to Tango��s stiff muscles. He can’t imagine, especially with the way Jimmy holds all his emotions in his shoulders, that his upper back is doing him any favors. Jimmy makes a little noise in confirmation as Tango turns, attempting to make ample space for him in the small bed. He knows they’ll end up back to back at some point, but as he lies down, shoulder to shoulder, an easy comfort rolls over him. Sure there’s all the red blood rushing around in his ears, and sure he feels it right up on his skin like a bad rash, but for now, next to Jimmy, he shuts his eyes.

They’ll make this time count for something, at least.

So fascinated by the fact you see Vanitas as someone who 'has outstanding morals but an unpleasant personality' because I see him as someone who 'has questionable morals but a charming, fun personality.' This goes to show I'm right about it being subjective lol

dgdhhdhdjghdhdg thats amazing actually.

(well, this reply got long - and spoilery - so. my reasoning under the cut to those interested <3 )

i think hes the second option because every character in vnc notes on how vanitas is insufferable and just. unpleasant to be around lmao. he may be fun to watch for us, but everybody strongly dislikes him for a good while after meeting him (and its by design - vanitas wants to be "free" after all. so he lays it extra heavy on making sure nobody will like him). only once they see through his many many self-defense layers (noé's line of "you are lying about lying" in the tower), thats when they start to like him.

meanwhile he's the one absolutely hell bent on curing vampires (supposedly to track down who corrupted Luna but like. he doesnt have to cure them to do that?). he rigidly refuses to give up his hard earned autonomy + values consent so extremely he drugs himself to not be able to give consent and fight to the death for it if needed. subsequently, when he wanted to make sure jeanne hates him he did the thing he would've hated the most (ep3) (unaware that that was jeanne's parents mating ritual essentially lmao). they were violating him in the lab but still volunteered for more to save misha from death. he claims to "hate everyone equally" but still treats the dhams with the dignity they dont get from basically anywhere else. he repeatedly advises noé when he gets into a moral conflict (most notably with astolfo).

the list goes on but i think you get it 😄 hes a very skilled actor in the process of dying for his morals, essetially.

Woe. Poorly drawn blitzbulk be upon ye.

EVERYTHING SCREECHES TO A HALT WITH A LARGE METAL SCRAPING NOISE. THE WORLD STOPS IN MOTION FOR SEVERAL MOMENT. FOR JUST A SPLIT SECOND THIS BECOMES THE CENTER OF TIME AND SPACE AND EXISTENCE ITSELF.

JAW DROPS TO THE FLOOR EYES SHOOT OUT OF SOCKETS MAKING A REALLY LOUD HONKING NOISE I START RUNNING AROUND IN CIRCLES LIKE A REALLY EXCITED DOG AND STARTS SPINNING AROUND AND RAPIDLY ASCENDING AND GLITCHES AND SPAZZES OUT LIKE A MESSED UP GMOD RAGDOLL

Almighty Empress of Sukka! I have a spicy Sukka question for you:

What are some things that Sokka and/or Suki do (unknowingly or otherwise) that get each other in the mood? Like little quirks or habits or clothes they wear or just random everyday stuff that makes the other go 😯🥵🤤? (For example, maybe Suki drinking a milkshake or slurpee with her lips wrapped around the straw is just a bit too much for Sokka to handle. And maybe when Sokka takes his shirt off after a hot, sweaty workout, not matter how awkwardly he does it, Suki gets a little hot and flustered herself.)

Sorry, that was a lot. 😅 But Sukka’s irrepressibly spontaneous love for each other always makes me want to gush! 🥰

And I know you’re busy with Sukka Week right now, so no rush to answer this at all! I’m very patient.

Lord, have I really been sitting on this ask for nearly two years??

I need you to know, Dearest Anon, that it doesn't feel like I've let this ask go for so long because I have actually had it on my mind that entire time, wanting to answer it and waiting until a good enough answer surfaced.

But I think I was going about it the wrong way. I don't really have a lot of headcanons that exist independently of putting a guy in situations. And if I put a guy in enough situations, I might end up repeating similar ideas until they become headcanons (like my headcanon that Suki has a particular fondness for lotus seed buns).

So! It occurred to me that maybe the best way for me to answer this question would be to put these guys in a situation. And now, at long last, we have...Suki getting really turned on by Sokka cooking... 😏

Suki stepped off the back porch of the house, perched the steamer basket full of rice on her cocked hip, and bit her lip. Framed beautifully in her field of view, amidst a glorious backdrop of lush green foliage and the island’s tumbling, sparkling brook, was Sokka, standing over the makeshift grill he’d thrown together from a large cast iron pot and some wire mesh he’d gotten off one of the fishing boats. The air was fragrant with the savory sweet aroma of seared meat, Sokka expertly working the grill in a calculated dance between flame, timing, and seasoning. And Suki’s mouth was watering. 

“Hey there, grill master,” she crooned as she approached, abandoning the rice on the table that housed Sokka’s setup. She ran one hand over his shoulder, down his back, then lower still so she could squeeze a generous handful of ass cheek. 

He yelped before glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, one brow quirked in amusement. “Hungry?”

“Starved,” she said, sidling closer and pressing up against him from behind. Her hands quickly found his hip bones and traced the muscle there before teasing lower by just a few millimeters, and Sokka nearly dropped his tongs. 

“You know Mrs. Kotoji can see us from here…”

Suki turned her head towards her next door neighbor’s house just in time to see the shutters slam shut on one of the windows. “Nothing scandalous for her to see here,” she countered breezily. Then she found the slit in the side of Sokka’s tunic and traced her fingers down his thigh.

“Keep doin’ that and there might be,” he grunted, and Suki chuckled, dropping her forehead between Sokka’s shoulder blades as she laughed. 

“Listen…” she said coyly. With her head still resting against Sokka’s spine, she drew her hands slowly around his hips and up his flanks. “I know you’re still cooking, but once you’re done, you think you could…scandalize me a bit before we eat?”

Something clattered loudly while Sokka fumbled around with the grill, and then suddenly he was whirling around, gripping Suki’s waist and tugging her close. “Tui and La, woman… I will scandalize you so much, you’ll be reading about it in Ba Sing Se next year. In those scandal sheet things. That they circulate in the Upper Ring. Whatever, it made sense in my—” And he cut himself off by closing the distance between his mouth and hers. 

Suki threw her arms around his shoulders, laughing into him as he penguin-stepped them back towards the house. When they collided with one of the porch posts, Sokka used the opportunity to deepen the kiss, slotting one thigh between hers, creating delicious friction for them both. Suki moaned.

“So, you like the way I handle my meat, huh?” Sokka teased, breathy against her lips.

“Oh yeah,” Suki rasped, delighted, sneaking her eager hands back around to Sokka’s backside. “And now it’s my turn.”

HI , , , A heem heem, , , hbcd =>:333c

the song used is in your arms tonight by the family crest :]

[eggwishing]

hi can you uhh. draw 4 from bfb. i know this is a weird request considering you mainly draw other things but i just really love your artstyle. thank you and have a nice day!!!

what a silly guy!!!!!

[hecatesbroom]

To be honest I was wondering if you have a top 5 of books 👀

Hii! Now, that's a hard question :') I have so many!! I think if I were to make a top 5, it'd look something like this:

(Limited to English books only because I really wouldn't know how to choose otherwise haha)

The Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir (if I had to pick just one, it'd be Harrow the Ninth, book 2 in the series)

The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien (which he wanted to have published as one big book, so hey, this isn't technically cheating!)

Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

The Kingdoms by Natasha Pulley

I tried to vary a bit in genre with this, and honestly my favourite books change quite frequently, but I'd say the top 3 are pretty stable! (I'm not sure anything will ever be able to beat The Locked Tomb for me anymore haha)

[appallinnballin]

suuuuuuuuch a huge fan of the minuscule details you add to the characters when you draw them in your style. the reptilian elbow scutes on aldryx. ruv’s lips that make him look ursine. sarv’s drapey wings. everyones’ body types. the list goes on,, they suit all of them fantastically

this is such a lovely message THANK YOUUUUUGGHJ

[undermine-the-instinct]

I found your last fic with Yuji and Mahito really interesting, the writing is so good! I just love the way that you write Mahito! Do you ever plan on writing one with Mahito and the girlfriend before she died?

Oh, most definitely.

Mahito is a particular brand of evil, and he knows it. He's got this childlike curiosity, that's so at odds with the horrors he so likes to inflict, and reader is Special. If he wants to understand himself, he has to understand his enemy. To understand Yuji, he has to understand you.

Everything about you. There was no way you were ever going to escape once he got to you.

[spreadwardiard]

5, 13, 15, 20, 22, 27, and 30 for the song asks friend!!! <3

OOOH! Thank you friend! I'll try not to get long winded about muuuusic lol.

5:A song that needs to be played LOUD

Okay I'm gonna start off immediately in the deep end here and say Pop/Stars VS Megalovania by DJ Cutman! I never played Undertale myself, but I really liked a lot of the music in it, and this mash up is to die for!! It mashes up perfectly and I always have to turn it up!

13:One of your favorite 80’s songs

I had to research some release dates of things for this one hahaha. I have so much music on my playlists that I'm not sure what is from when anymore! But I always loved Take on Me by Aha!

15:A song that is a cover by another artist

Omg where to even start... I have so many song covers that I love. I could go the safe route and say Hurt by Johnny Cash. but ooooooh I also really like I Really Want To Stay at Your House by Thai McGraith for any Cyberpunk fans out there.

20:A song that has many meanings to you

Ooooh I think for this one I'm gonna have to go a little more obscure and reach for my FAVORITE band. Bran-new Love Song by the Pillows is my choice here. Its a nostalgic song for me, reminds me of the slower days of childhood but also has a strange melancholy to the sound of it that just... chefs kiss. It reminds me of days gone by, of new loves being forged, and of the bittersweet that comes with it.

22:A song that moves you forward

Ha! I like Huton no Naka Kara Detakunai by Gokumon. I know this probably isn't exactly what this prompt means by moving forward, but this song DEF gets me out of bed in the morning (which, in my opinion is moving forward XD) and is so very relatable.

27:A song that breaks your heart

This is a hard one theres so many good songs to choose from. So many have made me weep. But ooo I think Take me to Church by Hozier. It just hits really close to home for me.

30:A song that reminds you of yourself

omg Chandelier by Sia. Especially with the music video. idk, it just hits me in weird place and honestly this also could be a song that breaks my heart considering it does make me cry like everytime i listen to it.

[waterfallofspace]

🤧,🌸,😭, 😞 for fukuzawa if you'd like!! Your headcanons are amazing btw I'm loving all of them sm

Hello, aw thanks~ Glad you're enjoying!! And thank you for the ask! ~From This Ask Game~ Dropped under cut since it's a bit long (I'm so sorry haha~)~~

Wanna add quickly too- hcs for me are so fun, but also definitely not set in stone, and if anyone (or even me a lot of the time) have any other ideas for them, I'm always thrilled to see that side for them too!! I'm a believer in 'if you wanna, then do' when it comes to snz/hc content~ doesn't have to be consistent, long as it's entertaining and well done! that said, here's the hcs!

~~~~~ 🤧: What does their sneeze sound like? (Description, spelling, or both!) A bit rough, not rapid, but definitely fast paced. Not insanely harsh, but using a lot of his voice. Something like "rshhh'oo-! errshhh- eshh- krsshhh- ak'rshhhoo-! yierrshhh'oo-!"

🌸: Are they allergic to any kind of plants? Flowers, weeds, trees? If yes, how bad are their allergies to those plants?

Hmm, I think yes. Personally I'd say flowers, specifically some dainty ones that just... wreck him. Tough man brought down by smol flowers. But he still loves them, and honestly, he kinda loves that they wreck him so bad, makes him feel a bit softer. (because they do. He's reduced to a mess, eyes streaming, nose running, sneezing, whole shebang~)

😭: When they’re sick, do they try to downplay their symptoms, or do they treat every little cold like the plague? Do they whine a lot, or do they complain quietly or even just in their head?

Absolutely the 'suffer in silence' type. Denies it until the very end, only admits it when he has to (if he risks hurting the missions, or if he needs to convince someone else to go home too~) . Though, I do think he complains in his own head, but only lightly, and only if it's extremely bad, or someone is making it worse <3 (cough ranpo cough)

😔: What are their “tells” when they’re not feeling their best? Do they sleep more or less? Do they become easily irritated, aggressive, snap at little things? Or do they withdraw and become quieter, cry at the drop of a hat, stay in the background? What’s the one surefire way that one of their loved ones would be able to tell that they’re sick?

I think there's two answers to this. His 'tells' that anyone who knows him would be able to see, and his tells that only Ranpo (and mayyybe Mori in certain fics/situations) can see.

Normal Tells: He'll be quieter, even then normal, constantly clearing his throat when he's speaking. You'll find him falling asleep on his desk, or closing his eyes when he's standing. Withdraws from people/situations.

Ranpo - Mori Only Tells: He does a certain crinkle with his eyes that's a surefire way to tell he has a headache. Moves his hands in certain ways to show that he's resisting the urge to touch his nose. Has little scrunch lines that appear around the bridge of his nose from trying to hold back.

[ehlnofay]

hi, new follower, i LOVE efri and on the last post the tags mention smth about mzulft. i am ALSO planning on writing something about mzulft so i was wondering what yours will be??? (if you’re open to talking about it before it’s finished lmao)

I don't have anything to write specifically in mind about mzulft at the moment though I would definitely like to at some stage, it's just where I'm at in my slowly developing reimagining of the questline (I've assigned three characters to it who are extremely poorly suited to such a task so. a lot of things need adapting.) I will say that I think efri brings the whole gang along to mzulft (brelyna says "hear me out. maybe we don't steal correspondence from the master wizard's office and try to track down an off-the-map dwarven ruin alone." efri says "thanks for the input! disregarded.") and she has a pretty cool time there overall. runs into her old friends from the caravan on the way and makes friends with the falmer hive hanging out deep in the ruin. someone probably almost dies at some point but it ends up fine so it's all good! look forward to posting something about it when I've figured out more :)

[pierog]

can you tell us about your masters!!! I'm in conservation biology n I love science communication

OMG HI!!! thank you i am SO excited to be asked this

sci com is SOOOO lit. i honestly think my program is the best one ever, we study 3 main areas: 1) wildlife documentary filmmaking 2) science writing 3) museum studies — but we also do loads of multimedia stuff like animation and podcasts and for our final year, we write an academic thesis but also create something novel…

for mine i made a video game!!! it’s a dating simulator “The Ugly Club” based on bird of the year. in aotearoa, bird of the year is a nationwide event where the whole country gets really angry and impassioned about what the best bird is. it’s a funny silly game but i’m also secretly researching a range of things: can this game be used to encourage empathy for uncharismstic fauna? do anthropomorphism and prosocial ludonarratifes have real-life behavioural implications? what is the sexiest bug?

you can play the game here!! it’s nominated for two awards at the australasian games festival next week actually. it may or may not have won… that’s only for me to know right now ;o)
