#and Leo has so much rizz with that guitar

[shardkn1ght]

Heelo<3 I wanna just say your Hueso raising Leo art is free serotonin😭❤️❤️. Most au separation fics involve Leo being raised by draxum or big mama, and while I like them, this is a breathe of fresh air😭. Leo speaking fluent Spanish and being raised in a healthy environment with a caring father that isn’t splinter? Gimme it all😭❤️❤️

Btw, I feel like it would be really sweet if Hueso taught Leo how to play guitar, and Leo applied that to him flirting with usagi sksjdbbffndkjf like, he’d snatch up a guitar out of nowhere and play a few strings in front of him hahaha

Omg hiiii!!! First of all, I love your art so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️ And yes I definitely agree! We need more wholesome separation aus! 

I really wanted this story to be a story about loving families and growing up free of worries and responsibilities. And don’t worry! This story will stay happy and fun, and I wouldn’t describe the ‘angst’ as angst, more like a little hiccup in the story.

And I think you are very right about Hueso teaching Leo guitar!

Streamily Signing with Kimberly Brooks as Jasper and AJ Michalka as Stevonnie

AJ Michalka and Kimberly Brooks signed some stuff for fans on the Streamily! It's listed as a Steven Universe event but combined with other characters for both of them (AJ signed some Catra prints and Kimberly signed some Allura and Ashley prints).

After some technical difficulties (which Kimberly says dealing with Streamily and Instagram at the same time is a one-two punch like Jasper would do), they get both voice actors to get on the stream and can both hear each other. They catch up with each other and Kimberly says the first time she met AJ she was wearing awesome sneakers so Kimberly bought the same pair.

AJ points out that her first VIP to sign is not even Stevonnie--it's Catra--and then they take turns, and Kimberly signs one featuring winter Jasper.

Kimberly says playing Jasper was an awesome opportunity and she loves working with Rebecca Sugar. AJ feels like she only did about 10 episodes.

Kimberly points out that she "tends to be confused at all times."

AJ signs another Catra print while pointing out that she doesn't draw, but sometimes signs and does a little "cat scratch" motif on the print. She thinks it originated with a fan asking for it and she incorporated it into anything where she is asked to draw. Kimberly is also asked to draw on a print and says she can't draw either. They both have thought about learning to draw because they're going to a lot of conventions.

Kimberly is asked to draw a cat and says it's appropriate because she's a Leo and cats are always coming into her yard. She has a dog that doesn't like the cats. She thinks about drawing lions and likes that there's also a connection to her character Allura in Voltron (she pilots the Blue Lion). Kimberly draws a cat and the word "meow," and specifies that Jasper would definitely only say that very sarcastically.

AJ says she plays guitar and piano and makes reference to her band with her sister having a 20-year anniversary for their first album coming up soon. Her latest record is called With Love From, but they have a new one coming out next year in spring.

They discuss how neither of them are coffee people and AJ prefers matcha for the extended release of caffeine and the tastiness.

AJ wants to do a video game someday like Kimberly did as Ashley Williams on Mass Effect, and Kimberly says it's actually not that fun to do the actual recording but it's still cool to portray the character. Kimberly talks about how cool it was that the player character for Mass Effect could be male or female and you could still romance various genders of characters--that at the time it was uncommon.

Someone who sent in a request for a print asked Kimberly to sign the print with what she thinks Jasper would say in response to being called "Jaspie." She eventually decides to write "Call me 'Jaspie' again and I'll pound you into the ground." AJ thinks Kimberly's Jasper voice transition is so cool.

AJ is asked to put a favorite Stevonnie quote and chooses "I'm an experience."

Kimberly and AJ rizz each other up a bit and when Kimberly says she'd really like to be in a band or sing.

Kimberly writes another Jasper quote about pounding people into the ground. She points out that it's hard to come up with quotes so far after the fact.

They discuss how fans want a Steven Universe movie but agree that neither of them have heard of any news about one.

When signing for someone who says Jasper is their favorite character, she says thank you for admitting that Jasper is their favorite character--that Jasper is everyone's favorite character but only brave people can admit it. Haha!

AJ discusses that her name initials stand for "Amanda Joy."

AJ and Kimberly agree that if Catra and Jasper were on the same show there'd be too much anger and too much emotion--they're somewhat similar characters in some way.

Kimberly stays a little longer after AJ has to go and signs the non-VIP posters on camera too even though it wasn't required.

Kimberly's last signature has the quote "Jaspers don't give up. Jaspers keep going until we get what we want" from "Crack the Whip." She says she's forgotten what episode that was from and doesn't remember the context, but wants someone to remind her.
