I don't know if you're still answering questions or if you've already answered this question, but…would Homelander be with a human reader or would it have to be super? Anyway, thanks!

i actually write almost exclusively human characters with homelander! it appeals to me more. i think it’s the human x monster lover in me. i really love exploring those kind of drastic power imbalances.

plus, the most interesting thing about homelander for me is how he’s physically the most powerful being in existence, but emotionally the weakest. it’s less interesting to me to pair him with someone who could physically stand against him or even out match him vs someone who has to rely on their emotional intelligence to maneuver any kind of dynamic/relationship with him.

the inherent precariousness and danger of that is just delicious to me. i especially find it interesting to explore given the “supe supremacy” path he’s jogging down. what kind of person does he make exceptions for? does he find them lacking? does he need them to be a supe to allow himself to fully love someone he’s become drawn to? it feeds so well into his conflict of craving love from the humans who have spurned and abused him while also seeing them as wholly beneath him.

that said i do like to pair him with supes occasionally. i’m just picky about the types of supe!

Please could you show other examples for the flat colour comms? The art you chose is masked so it's hard to get a feel on how your faces/skin etc. look with flat colours. Thank you!

Are you still dining the ask game? If you are what are your thoughts on the pristine blade

[ask game here]

LOL okay I will definitely do this one. This is a very cool ask actually and I am so excited to share my thoughts on the pristine blade itself!

First impression

This is just our implement. We had to have a weapon of some sort available to us to be able to slay the Princess, right? Mostly I just kinda dismissed the blade as a storytelling convention and that's about it.

Impression now

Much more intrigued, honestly! The pristine blade is one of the only parts of the Construct besides us, the Princess, the Narrator in our head, and the environment. It is almost always there (besides in The Wraith, interestingly enough) and it is always "pristine" -- even in the dirt or covered in blood. Is it a piece of us? A piece of the Princess? A piece that came from the messy tear that separated us? And does it have any connection to the Princess's chains -- the only other part of the Construct besides those things? What does its being "pristine" signify? There is definitely something about this blade...

Favorite moment

When you hold it the "cool" way by default if you take the blade in The Apotheosis. That combined with the swell of epic music and us facing down a Biblically Accurate Princess large enough to have her own gravitational pull just made me cheer out loud when I first saw it!

Idea for a story

This one's a bit harder. I haven't had any real ideas up to now, except to explore in various fic how the voices might choose to arm themselves post-Construct, who would continue to choose blades, or if they managed to have the blade when they left who would most often have it (or be allowed to)...

I could also, though, see a fun fic coming from the idea of "what if the blade was available in The Wraith?" Or maybe what if it wasn't available at all in The Den or The Thorn?

Unpopular opinion

IDK if this is super unpopular, but I think it is even more interesting and fucked up and badass of her if you go the route of screwing up so bad with Thorn that she swallows the blade whole. If nothing else, it really shows how much of Witch is still in her, and I love that!

Favorite relationship

I can't narrow it down to just one!

I love the relationship Cold has with the blade as almost an extension of himself, as both being weapons. I love Contrarian's dedication (until the Stranger ending) to throwing it out the window and also his insistence to hold it the other way that comes back in The Apotheosis even though he's not there! I love Hunted's relationship to the "steel claw." I love Paranoid's moment of "steel can't lie to us," and how she's perfectly willing to use it to slit our own throat despite desperately not wanting to die before. I love Skeptic refusing to let you not take the blade and being willing and able to stop your heart if you don't use it in the leadup to The Grey!

I also love Adversary wanting us to stab her with it. How Damsel is perfectly willing to let you chop bits of her off with it (how metaphorical), and accepts her death if you slay her with it with tears in her eyes, and has it firmly in her heart as the Burned Grey, and if you reach for it she gently holds your hand there. How Prisoner uses it to cut off her own head. Everything about Witch and Thorn's relationship to it, whether things go well or terribly. How in The Wraith it just disappears entirely, for the only time in the entire game!

And I love how desperately the Narrator clings to it, needs it to be there. And I love the relationship the Princess (Harsh, Soft, or Stranger) in Shifty's heart has with it; her line that since you chose to take the blade, it has to be used, just gets me right in the heart.

I guess if I had to chose, out of those three... "categories" I suppose? I'd choose Skeptic, Damsel -> Burned Grey, and Shifty's Heart.

Favorite headcanon

I mean, it's not confirmed, but I think I like the idea that the pristine blade and the Princess's chains are similar things. Only you can use the pristine blade to attack with, though the Princess can use it against herself (Prisoner and Thorn most obviously), she never stabs you with it even when she winds up with a blade of her own; you have very little effect over the chains, only being able to be trapped in them in The Prisoner, while Prisoner can attack you with them, several of the vessels can free themselves from them, and the ones you free from them plant the idea in your head first (Damsel, Tower). The chains, like the blade, are always in the same place until certain Chapter IIIs, where sometimes they disappear.

The pristine blade is tied to the Long Quiet in some way, may be a part of him, while the chains are tied to the Shifting Mound in some way. Again, not confirmed, but I really like the idea.

ETA: @salty-an-disco pointed out a thing that makes EVEN MORE sense and is super cool: the idea that the pristine blade is actually a piece of the Shifting Mound (a piece of death that you can use to kill with), while the chains are a piece of the Long Quiet (stagnancy trying to trap her)! So the pristine blade is actually tied to the Shifting Mound as a part of her, while the chains are tied to the Long Quiet likewise.

Again, not confirmed, but this idea rocks so much that I am immediately adopting it forever.

What do you think Rick think/feels about Ford and Bills past (relationship 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨) you are the expert on this.

HMMMMMMM.

Well, I do think he would feel bad, since I do believe he genuinely cares for Ford, BUT!

I think part of him would giggle at the fact that it was a DAMN TRIANGLE (despite his own situations), and I think he would also point out the obvious ways Bill was in love (because I headcanon Ford never really noticed.)

But I also think it would hit deep for Rick, since he's been through betrayal as well, which further makes him empathetic of Ford.

Despite all this, he probably still talks shit about Ford being an idiot for trusting Bill, but mostly when he's angry or drunk. He'll also make little rude "jokes" about it, when he's irritated and maybe buzzed. All of his comments would be harsher when he's drunk as hell though.

He'll be serious when he really needs to though. When he's sober, not upset, and Ford's genuinely really sad. He'd be a little awkward, but he'd try his best to comfort his man<33

Overall, he cares but he's still the same asshole guy!

[scriv3lloirl]

oh shit u like mellow too? What do u think abt their rocky horror picture show headcanon for Arthur? Personally I think it’s a little too dark for my tastes but still interesting

I like pretty much ev'ryone in th' Little Shop Tumblr community (n TikTok community too,) n Mellow's pretty chill. I've had a couple interactions wit 'em n they've all been enjoyable if a bit brief.

As fer th' Rocky Horror Picture Show headcanon? Don't have any real big feelin's fer it. It's far from th' headcanons I have fer Denton, our Arthur fictive finds Mellow's headcanon absolutely fascinatin, but I've always enjoyed headcanons that intertwine multiple uh.. sources t'gether.

I've always liked dark headcanons, 'specially cus I project a hella lot whenev'r I make em, so the fucked-up-ness of it didn't bother me at all.

But I agree!! I also think it's interestin, enjoyed all th' dark themes n it's a fun concept. But anythin Denton related ain't really fer me. Source memories n allat muddled up m' opinion of th' guy lol

Could you do a sketch of the goddess Alke please?

I’ve never heard of her before, and I couldn’t find much to go off of, so I think I got a bit lost in the sauce pulling from the one reference: Greek goddess of courage and battle strength.

My mind simply went “Greek solider”. And that was pretty much it. But that was boring, so I started over and now I love her actually. Here are both versions!

I just loosely sketched over my previous sketch and changed the things I felt like changing. I originally wanted to give her knightly vibes, but for my second version I decided to give her an animal to draw some inspiration from, because that always helps. And naturally, my mind went to bears. So then immediately I wanted to try to make her look more like a courageous hunter. I also made her a bit stockier, because I liked the idea of her being quite small but hunting larger prey, because you gotta be quite courageous for that I’d imagine. So yeah, the hide is really the biggest change. And the hair. I so badly wanted to give her big flowing hair (whether I subconsciously started drawing inspiration from Brave and Merida is unimportant)

I hope you like her!! She was fun

[ant1quarian]

how many asks do you have rn?

we have 144 asks, not specifically on this blog, but a vast majority are.

's a lot, we know. but they're not something we're particularly worried about.

while i don't personally care, i'd suggest being careful about who you ask this question to. some people may get pressurized by it and feel as if they aren't doing enough, which can be a pretty rough downward spiral for some.

we're prolly gonna let ari set fire to the inbox sometime soon, considering we know we'll never get on top of it, quite simply due to a lack of motivation to. 👍

also because the majority of us don't feel like the asks have been directed towards us, so we're not goin' to answer 'em.

alright kit one voice of the paranoid pretty please with cherry on top 🥺

[ask game here]

(Thank you for re-sending this ask, IDK why Tumblr hated my last attempt so much-- 🥺💕)

HELL YEAH MY #1 BLORBINA!!!!!

First impression

Haha, okay, that vocal delivery is great and I love that paranoia of the "what if He hears us?" followed by "shit!" Paranoid characters can be really hit-or-miss, though, and this particular shtick could get old really fast; I hope it doesn't.

Impression now

My favorite darling who I love and adore, my most beloved of current blorbos, the reason my STP hyperfixation is so so strong, bird of my heart 💖

Favorite moment

This is such a hard call! I'm especially torn between two moments: Of course the initial "Heart. Lungs. Liver. Nerves." is amazing and holds a special place in my heart because it's the moment I knew I absolutely adored her. But also, despite loving absolutely everything about both the Wraith and the Moment of Clarity and the transitions into both of them… "Oh right, yeah, fuck this guy. Don't trust Him." all by itself makes me love freeing the Nightmare in her Chapter II just as much. (Not that there aren't other great lines in that path, like the delivery of "I thought you needed me to run the autonomic nervous system?" which is just hysterical to me! But that line… It just won me over even more.)

As an honorable mention, let me pour one out for the cut Paranoid moment in Apotheosis:

I carry this moment, and Paranoid's thoughts about listening to others' lies having value, in my heart forever. It's just such an interesting touch and I'm incredibly sad it's gone!

Idea for a story

I have so many unbaked, half-formed idea snippets and NO details to go with them:

Paranoid running into trouble when her overpreening habits leave her without the ability to fly in a key situation, when she'd been able to (with increasing difficulty) up to that point since getting out of the Construct.

The world outside the Construct being some post- or mid-apocalypse survival horror situation and somehow Paranoid's body winds up warping in ways that remind her unpleasantly of Nightmare, primarily a bunch of eyes beginning to open up all over her body, especially her wings.

Either post-Construct or a mundane AU, bird-people or human or just human-looking, where Paranoid figures out she's trans (and slowly gains in confidence) due to drag.

Something that explores the idea of the beta voices actually turning into some of the current voices (Doubting becoming Skeptic, Flinching becoming Cheated, Meek becoming Paranoid, and Obsessed becoming either Stubborn or both Hunted and Stubborn -- and Smitten splitting off from the beta's Hero too actually!). I actually do really like the idea of the beta voices being their own individual people out there somewhere, but Paranoid reverting to Meek for a while under some circumstance could be fun to play with! And only Hero, Broken, Cold, and Contrarian would even possibly remember Meek…

Unpopular opinion

Paranoid really is not helpless and I think some people forget that sometimes! She's also got wonky morals. I'd argue that the voices you can get in other voices' Chapter IIIs often says something about them; while getting Paranoid in Apotheosis is more her going "That's Enough" and getting Skeptic in both Eye of the Needle and Den is kind of the same, the way Cold and Opportunist both show up in Wraith-from-Nightmare feels more… simpatico with how Paranoid operates? Paranoid can be fucking ruthless and also seize any opportunity she spots, especially if she doesn't trust a person (and the only people she trusts are the Long Quiet and the other voices).

She is also totally willing to abandon or murder a woman and the only one she seems to feel at all bad about at any point to any degree is the Wounded Wild. She's also also super dedicated to coming out unharmed and surviving, but she will do things like advise slitting our own throat when she thinks it's a good idea, and she is prone to panic but also remarkably self-aware about it and knows her own paranoid tendencies aren't always good, and both of those things can be easy to forget but I love them!

Finally, I want to note that people sometimes seem to forget that she doesn't actually get along as badly with Opportunist as you'd think she might! Maybe it's because when you get Opportunist in Wraith, it's specifically via doing exactly what Paranoid is advising (or would advise) you to do in that situation. Cheated and even Hero are more snippy with and disparaging of Opportunist -- even Smitten is to some degree -- and Paranoid is more snippy with Hero and Broken, and Skeptic is the one who seems most disparaging of her. The dynamics being different from what you might think fascinates me, really, and I'm curious about how both new and old dynamics might end up looking in the Pristine Cut.

Favorite relationship

I MEAN…

Much like last time, romantically speaking I love her dynamic with Cold. But platonically, I'm fascinated by her dynamics with Broken, Opportunist, and the Narrator, love her dynamic with Hero, and would be interested to see more (or any) of her dynamic with Hunted, Skeptic, and/or Smitten in the Pristine Cut.

Among the vessels, I also think she'd have interesting dynamics with Damsel, Prisoner, Spectre, Stranger, and Thorn, and would actually love to see more of her dynamic with Nightmare, Wild, and Wraith. (Looking forward to those new Chapter IIIs, too, and I'm very curious about the expanded Apotheosis chapter!)

Favorite headcanon

Well, hands down my favorite headcanon is transfem Paranoid!

But I am also super attached to her having major difficulties with getting her own body: She overpreens to the point of not being able to fly, she has all sorts of trouble sleeping (nightmares, night terrors, insomnia, even sleepwalking), and worst of all she has a harder time trusting the others to the same extent that she used to, at least at first. They're still parsing as us but they're also parsing as other and it fucks with her a bit. She also can panic due to not being able to protect the others or sense the pain/injury/illness/etc. of the others the way she'd have been able to if they still shared a body...

Like, overall she does like having her own body, it's quieter and she has more control over herself, but there's a lot that's difficult about it for her too.
