#VA answers

[audioroleplayconfessions]

On the subject of fanart limits;

If you're referring to VAs imposing strict limitations on the kind of fan works people can make, then I agree. People have come to me really nervous about making fan art of my characters because they'd had bad experiences with another VA who basically disallowed headcanons. The artist was unsure if they were allowed to even come up with OCs set in VA's universes. That sucks. Headcanons and OCs are awesome, seeing what people come up with is some of the most meaningful response I can imagine to storycrafting, showing that my stories have stuck with people enough that they're still thinking about it after the audio is over!

One of my favorites was when a trans artist asked if it's okay for them to share art where they headcanon one of my characters as trans. I treasure that.

Conversely I can't agree with the other asker saying there should be no limits and that the VA should be paying you if you make things they approve, a request to not make adult content isn't a commission. For a lot of people, especially when you're writing your own characters, you put a lot of yourself into them. Most of my characters are explorations of my own personal insecurities, I use stories to explore these feelings in a fictionalized world as a way to try and understand and overcome some of my flaws, and because I think that putting a bit of myself in my characters makes them feel more real, more relatable, and if people get something like that out of my stories then that's fantastic. I think it's fair to ask people to please not make NSFW art of my characters, since the asker was replying to another asking about NSFW fanart. One of my main characters is built out of my own self-doubt, and is deeply personal. Making porn of that character would be inappropriate.

Come to think of it, something a little like that happened. A channel started stealing my scripts a while back, and that particular character's script was changed to be all flirty with them calling the listener "cutie". That felt deeply violating. The script theft was bad, but the changes made me feel sick.

There's a reason there are rules in places where you can share scripts for VAs to fill that stipulate a VA can't change the script without the writer's knowledge and consent. Characters and stories can come from a deeply personal place, and I think it's important to keep that in mind. Whenever artists ask me what my limits are with fanart, I tell them go nuts, I love seeing what people come up with! I don't like limiting artists, and when they ask for refs I often add to say feel free to go off-model. That said, I think some limit is fair, and I draw the line for most of my characters at NSFW things. I understand some VAs are cool with that, especially if they themselves make NSFW audios, but I don't think it's unreasonable to ask people not to make porn of my boys.

To the original asker, most VAs I've talked to are cool with headcanons in art, but if you're asking specifically about NSFW fan works, especially for a VA that doesn't do NSFW audios, it's probably best to ask first.

TLDR I remember a VA imposing strict limits on what is allowed for fanworks. That's dumb. But also I can't agree with a blanket no-limits at all.

1.What got you into ROTTMNT?

2.Outside of this fan project, do you have any future plans for a voice acting career or is this just a 1 time thing?

I don't know, it sounds like it would be fun to try to be a legit VA. But I don't have the connections, the know how, or really the experience.

Also I got into rise because I love animation and character design, so when I kept seeing the show on my FYP I was like....why not give it a try?

They/Them prowl....... (/pos)

All the cybertronian characters are technically they/them since cybertonains are physically, socially, mentally, and societally genderless. The cyerbtornian language does not have pronouns that indicate separate genders because gender isn't really a concept on Cybertron beyond it being known as a phenomenon common in a lot of organic alien races, and even that is not common knowledge among most bots.  most of the time, the bots will use they/them to refer to each other; some even use they/them when talking about the humans characters since human gender is quite confusing for many of them.

Going by specific pronouns or being preserved as a specific gender is very new to the earth-bound cybertronians, Most bots will go along with whatever humans assume they are. That doesn't mean some bots don't have preferences on what they are referred to as, but most don't care, especially the ones not invested in human/earth culture. 

Prowl does not have a preference for what pronouns others refer to them as, they are fine going by they/them, he/him, or she/her

Q: Who Alastor cares more about? Who would he go above and beyond for?

Alastor's VA: I'm not going to answer that

Charlie: Dad stop! He's defending this hotel! It may be a bit more sadistic than I'd hoped but he's doing it for ME!

Any questions?

Who do you think Hunter will stay with at the end of the show? Or who do you want him to stay with

tbh out of all the possible future caretakers of hunter, my primary hope for who will adopt him rn rly is camila. y'know, loved all the different possibilities too but…. camila ❤️❤️❤️ like, just. like. that's his MOMMMM

the vision of him living with camila (and luz and vee), going to hexside (cuz obv there's gonna a portal), and having a woodcarving mentorship under the clawthornes' and some mentorship under darius. and then once in a while occassionally staying over at the owl house.... Y'KNOW? so real.

camila's just too perfect of an option, LIKE. he spent months under her care already, he doesn't have even one bad experience with her that could possibly make him doubt and feel bad abt their relationship (no feeling like he needs to prove himself to gain her respect, no complicated past that'd have to be dealt with, no wondering if the care he's shown is genuine, no previous authority issues, no previous hostility etc etc) like camila's been extremely sweet and caring towards him and nothing else since the very start. it makes me sOO... 🤲😔❤️

the very first MOMENT they interact and hunter kneels in front of her out of respect she warmly tells him to never do it again; makes it clear that he doesn't have to be overly formal with her. just offers her kindness, expecting nothing in return. right away.

camila is probably the first adult ever that hunter associates with only warmth and goodness and whom he feels comfortable with from the start, with whom he doesn't have any past grudges or things they'd need to work out, just.. unconditional love. and justttt just just oughhhghh she called him baby. she's been basically treating him like her son already, and she's SUCH a good and supportive mom, to luz, to vee, to hexsquad. she taught him how to sew. she DIVED into FREEZING WATER at an OLD ABANDONED CEMETERY without a second thought in order to save him. JUST!!!!

him wanting to impress her with the spanish. her touching his shoulder and him showing not even an OUNCE of fear, just smiling and knowing she's not going to hurt him. him taking up interest in camila's and manny's old hobby. camila having experience with dealing with grief.. oof. him being happy living in the human realm (wanting to do things in the demon realm as well but having ties to BOTH worlds). even the fact that the entire noceda family is clearly neurodivergent, just like him. even him being an animal enjoyer and camila having a vet clinic, which- he WOULD LOVE to volunteer there in his free time, like?? COME ON.

AND THIS???? okay......

and we KNOW he WANTS to have a permanent family. it's established at the beginning of the episode when he looks sad as others hang up their family drawings. he wants ppl to care abt him, he wants to have a place to call home, wants to feel safe. he cries (from happiness) when luz calls him family.

and camila cares abt all of these kids so much. she was willing to take vee and hexsquad in JUST LIKE THAT. we can even assume her and manny wanted more kids, like just OUGHHGH she wouldn't even have to think twice before taking hunter in permanently. and she most likely knows hunter doesn't have anyone. she's not going to let him just….. go away on his own after everything is over, or make him move out or sth 💀 she'll want to help him, she'll want him to be safe and cared for.

like the only other possibilities for who else hunter could stay with after the show were: darius, eda/the clawthornes, or joint custody. but imo after... he lived under camila's roof for MONTHS, found a place that he feels safe in.. nocedas are just the best and healthiest option for him. after he'd spent MONTHS feeling happy with camila, i don't think it'd be good for him to be thrust into a completely new environment, and.. there's simply no time for his connection with other adults to be properly fleshed out, or to establish that he'd prefer anyone over nocedas.

like, i feel like sth has to happen with darius as well cuz their arc is unfinished, esp since it's been hinted they've grown closer since ASiAS, and there's a lot they could talk abt now re: grief + darius' mentor... so they HAVE to reunite at least. however, in my opinion at this point of the show there'd be just no time to conclude it as a parent-child bond in a satisfactory way. especially because there would be a LOT they'd have to work through first, considering their very complicated past.

like, all these years in the coven, their relationship pre-ASiaS, how darius treated hunter all these years... we know their relationship has progressed positively since ASiAS (even though mostly in the background/subtext) but still, i feel like it'd definitely take a while until hunter felt truly comfortable while living at darius'. he'd probably worry that it's conditional, could even easily fall back into his old coven mentality/habits, would try to make darius proud no matter what, etc. etc. it wouldn't be the healthiest for him. although eventually he would get comfortable, and that concept also had sm potential, but like the journey to that wouldn't be quick, and it'd have to be an arc on its own too. and, again, there is no time for that. rly cheering for a reunion and a talk, maybe even a mentorship of sorts, but considering hunter already has a place he feels fully comfortable in and ppl who consider him family right now, i feel like him ending in a completely new place after all that wouldn't be his #1 preferred option.

same with eda/the clawthornes tbh; it had sooo much potential and he is technically related to them AND is going to find that out soon, so some kinda interaction/development HAS to happen, and he did say he wants to learn how to carve palismen, so a mentorship may also happen... but as for actual adoption mm i don't think anything can come close to how safe and happy and Good he's felt for those months while under camila's care. again, in the future things COULD develop in such way, but considering we have two episodes until we get a conclusion... mmyeah

so................ yeah.

i just have so so so many thoughts abt hunter finding a family and getting to be a teenager and feeling loved and feeling like he has his own place in the world and being safe and allowed to explore his interests and to be himself........ hunter nocedaaaaa oughhghhh 🤲❤️

i think the best part about meursault's food diss critique is that for yi sang's turn, he actually dropped so many puns with yi sang's name in his rant yet he is still absolutely brutal and straight to the point, without losing his monotonous delivery

and yi sang kinda just,,, has to take it bc he must have been both impressed that meur managed to use so many homophones of his name in his rant yet those words must have definitely stung

Did you make a short on Metal Sonic's design as a part of your series on Sonic and Friends character designs, or did my brain just conjure up the memory of me watching that? Because if it's the former, I cannot find it on your channel anymore.

I did not, no. I'll probably get around to it.

Did you ever look at the lmk voice actor like the fact that syntax and sunwukong voice are the same or DBK, Huntsman and Mayor.

Even Mo and Mei!

I have done some VA research, always love seeing where I've seen them before, but I have to say that started when I learned Alejandro Saab (sorry for misspell) voiced Macaque

Now as an old (more like new) fan of Aphmau, of course I recognized the name to be the VA of Gene from MCD and Mystreet, I just think it's neat a small VA from a minecraft letsplah became a well know VA who voices one of the most fave characters in LMK

I digress-

I did know about the Wukong and Syntrax voice actor sharing the same voice, also the Goku-Wukong thing because ain't no one taking one step inside LMK fandom without that information being shot at them with a 500 mph paper airplane-

BUT YOUR TELLING ME DBK, THE MAYOR, AND HUNTSMAN ARE ALL VOICED BY THE SAME PERSON?!?!??!

That dude got RANGE

Give him MVP he out here pulling some of the best voices

Also I also heard of the Mei and MO thing, and I think it's adorable, she does an amazing cat voice, definitely gives MO the chaotic voice:) also she voices The Acolyte in Season 4, Subodhi's student, which I think is very neat because I couldn't tell the first time around

And don't get me started on MK- I've only watched the Dragon Prince not Avatar, BUT I loved all characters he voices, he's so good at that childish innocent, adorable, funny boy voice

Sorry for not remembering any if their names:(

They're all amazing, this show has amazing VA

[eternalglitch]

ok so like Im a victim of the rise -> lmk pipeline and there is a popular fic in that fandom that also puts the mc into a forced villainy arc via some sort of controlling contraption. I wanted to make a cool combo fanart piece (since the two fandoms are married + the similarities) BUT i remembered I don’t think you’re a big fan of lmk and if you’d rather me not I’d like to know!!! I don’t want to overstep ur boundaries and I thought it’d be easier to just. Ask. Instead of do it and feel bad later. SORRY IF THIS IS RANDOM I JUST AUGSGHSHGAGKAKHSKAKNSDJKAKJSNW

You can draw what you want (within reason aka no sexual stuff; this is not about this ask but you know it is the internet) but I cannot promise I will reblog it!

[re-colligere]

In your opinion, do the characters in this universe share the same actors and actresses as they did in the og movie or are they totally separate voice claims? Imagining Maya Hawke as this mysterious, sinister Thing In The Shadows is not something my brain is used to hearing and you know what?? I'm loving it no notes mwah

Yes, they still share the same VA's! If it helps, Axyon would be using her mask to distort her voice into something more ominous and sinister. She sounds normal underneath it hehe
