What’s your favourite kind of comment/feedback?

To be honest with you anon: I love all types of comments/feedback.

Now don't get me wrong, while I really love and appreciate the 1-2 paragraph long comments, the fact that someone not only took the time to look at my work, but also posted any comment/feedback (whether it's 200 or 2 words) on my stuff in general truthfully means so much to me. I honestly can't tell you the number of times I looked back at some of the past comments people made on my work just to read them over and over again.

Because those comments are what make the difficult days a whole lot better.

[kxlinthesky]

Yo! I uh, felt a little awkward calling you out in the comments, so I'll just leave you the option to never let this see the light of day :)

I just read your fic "of corset hurts" and it felt... jarring, and out of character, for Shinichi to explain himself using wrong information - because "corsets are an instrument of high-fashion torture" is a complete myth! I'd recommend checking out Bernadette Banner's video on the topic, it's called "I grew up in a corset. Time to bust some myths" her whole channel is dedicated to period-accurate fashion and the making of, and it's all super interesting

Good news is that I totally believe Kaito would, in fact, tight-lace to make his waist seem smaller for the role, so that part was fine :D

It probably did feel OOC! I think a lot of the fics in that Trope Tuesday series are like that in some way or another. For a lot of those, I was stretching the characters to match the trope I was assigned, it felt like. That was one of the reasons why I stopped doing those.

You're totally free to leave comments in the future, if you want! Someone on AO3 did about this exact thing, in fact. They didn't provide a video essay though, and I like video essays, so I think you win that particular contest!

(Also, I'm really sorry, but the idea that I'm getting called out over a six-year-old fic that's less than 2K words is kind of hilarious to me.)

whats your is one thing that you feel strongly about a fandom/media you like that no one else gets?

Aloy, from the Horizon video game series (Zero Dawn, Forbidden West) is a rat, in the way that she's constantly weaseling her way into spaces she isn't supposed to be in and causing problems on purpose. whether that's clambering around the vents in the GAIA base, climbing absurdly high buildings with zero regard for safety (much to Alva's concern, in the Leviathan quest), or brute forcing her way through social interactions (so many questions, she needs to know everything always all of the time), the outcast lifestyle definitely had a lasting impact on her lmao

she is not the voice of reason among her friends, she is the voice of "i'll do it till it's done even if it kills me" much to the concern of EVERYONE around her. someone make this girl take a break because giving her one is not gonna be enough for her to take it. she fought what was essentially a god to her, fell 30-50 feet into water below, swam a decent ways away while being shot at by essentially alien laser guns, was sucked underwater by a current, bashed into several things, thrown off a cliff face in a waterfall, bashed around some more, knocked unconscious, and still tried to get up walk around and keep going a day after the fact. the only reason she seems like a somewhat rational person is because everyone else on the goddamn planet has lost their minds. i love her <3

househusband deku who gets a little too excited when you playfully run away from him

HOUSEHUSBAND DEKU I'M GONNA DROOOL—

But awww, unlocking old memories from his days of being a hero🥺🥺🥺 like a kitty who sees a feather on a string and immediately wants to play. You don’t even have to be all that serious about it, swiping your hips away from him, but he’s ready to bat...

which usually means a chase around the house that ends up with you sweaty, bent over and panties down on whichever surface he gets you on first👀 like a big puppy in his attraction to you ... tho be careful what u wish for

[skeletalheartattack]

[whereismyhat5678]

can you draw the anteater x snail from the cuphead dlc Please

(I’m so proud of this you will not believe-)

Their just casual co-workers who talk about casual things- Y’know- the basics :]

ALSO I’M NOT NOT GOING TO SHOW YOU THE BACKGROUND BECAUSE IT TOOK WAY TO LONG TO DO AND I’M HONESTLY QUITE PROUD OF IT- (Even though it’s supposed to be blurry I’m so proud-)

Also Bonus: (Might be a bit suggestive Idk 👀💧)

[sensitiveheartless]

i love the difference in how you draw flustered soukoku, like chuuya always looks so pretty whereas dazai just looks like A Creature, as he should

Since I am still stuck mostly bedridden and coughing and sniffling up a storm, I went down a rabbithole of looking back at my drawings of them and…yeah you're 100% right anon, this is a noticeable pattern all the way back to the beginning XD

Flustered Dazai:

Flustered Chuuya:

I feel like this is slightly indicative of my view of their characters in general lol—I could never pick a favorite between them because I just enjoy them in very different ways, but when I was first getting into BSD I looked at Dazai and instantly went "okay yup, he's a stinky bastard man, got it" whereas with Chuuya I have been rotating him in my head for more than a year to try to figure him out and also just to appreciate him aksdjfksdfjksdfj (and reading Storm bringer made the speed of rotation become that of an overpowered spinning teacup ride)

...Although that said, Chuuya does get the gremlin treatment whenever I draw him angry XD

YAYYYYY THANK UUUUUUU :D

42 - That cat hates me!

The pale light of the evening sun shone down between the rows of brick buildings on the way back to Mihangel's flat. There was a faint smell of something summery in the air that made Strangeways feel vaugely wistful & melodramatic. She basked in the feel of the street - it might not have been much to look at, but Strangeways really loved Mihangel's neighbourhood. The old cemetery stood at the end of the street, the lychgate worn soft & covered in lichen.

A dash of dark grey darted out from a bush and froze in the middle of the street, looking at the pair of them, transfixed, with lamplike eyes.

Strangeways resisted the urge to meow at it, nudging Mihangel in the ribs instead.

'Oi-'

'Shut up, it's a cat, I love cats,' Strangeways stage-whispered.

'Yes. I know. You may have mention this once or twice before,' said Mihangel, gently sarcastic.

Strangeways knelt down on the cold path and stuck out her arm.

'Here kitty kitty...... little beastie........ c'mon little guy....'

Mihangel sighed a little bit.

'Here little kitty.... come here.......' Strangeways continued pointedly.

The cat unfolded itself from it's stock-still stance and started trotting over to her, meowing softly.

Strangeways grinned.

'I think he likes me!' She ran her hands through the grey cat's fur as it rubbed its head against her leg.

'Good for you. That cat hates me. I see around here all the time and he never runs up to me. I think it's the, yknow, undeath.'

There was a pause.

'Uh... Anyways.'

Mihangel shifted awkwardly. Strangeways' face fell a bit, though with her back turned to Mihangel he couldn't see her smile loose some of its sincerity.

Strangeways attempted to scoop up the cat, but it almost poured out of her arms and scampered across the street. She stood up and watched it slip under a bush.

Mihangel grasped for something to lighten the mood.

'Anyways, cats only like you because you're a witch,' she said antagonistically.

Strangeways rolled her eyes.

'I'm not a witch and you know that, I study supernatural phenomena and by extension of my profession I have merely picked up a few superstitions.'

The familiar path of an old argument well worn. No longer an actual quarrel but more a joke at their circumstance - the guy who died and the girl who can talk to ghosts walk into a graveyard.

Mihangel gave Strangeways an affectionate nudge as he shoved his hands back in his pockets.

'C'mon. It's not too cold yet, we could have dinner by the river and see if we can spot any faeries,' he said, only slightly teasingly.

'Yeah okay whatever. You better have something other than instant noodle and lemon drops. You should buy a loaf of bread sometime,' she replied, grinning a bit more than she possibly meant to.

'And I'll give you two quid if you find a blanket in the attic without any moths in it.'

[capn-twitchery]

would you say you are more of a twitch or grace. or are they like both hemispheres of your brain

this is such a Loaded Question are you trying to psychoanalyse me, anon

i'm kidding but in Seriousness-i think it's impossible to make an oc who doesn't have at least a little bit of you in them!! (no matter how unfortunate that is sometimes) simultaneously they are both hemispheres of my brain and also so very different from me, somehow

they both get my love of the sea. twitch gets my terrible adhd, one track mind + total inability to Not know something once the question is in my brain

grace gets my complete lack of swag & nonexistent social skills. you're welcome grace😌

I’m happy to hear you love to chat and I’m sorry I’m on anon… what do you think Mulder, Scully and their family are up to now? What’s life and love for them in the year 2024? I personally hope they are happy, healthy and still have tons of sex 🔥

No worries, anon! Unidentifiable asks are just as fun as identifiable ones. Plus, they give a nice little "ooh, I have a wider audience" kick. ;))

Per the Revival: you're probably right~.

I do wonder: would their daughter inadvertently shove them into more traditional settings, say, a mommy-daughter or daddy-daughter group, dance recitals, and local little leagues games while raising her eyebrow at their responses-- or lack of-- to the age old "why didn't you ever get married to mommy/daddy?" question? If so, Jackson would be a reflection of their more complicated, "outside the norm" past whereas Lily would come from a place of sweeter connection and greater appreciation for their second chance. In short, stability; a sense of normalcy. Or, perhaps, she'd be just fine with their "different"; and it's Mulder and Scully who-- like any parent-- would wonder if their unconventional job or numerous enemies or wandering son are a reflection of their abilities?

I don't believe Mulder or Scully could completely disattach from the files, not yet. It fulfills them, it grows them, it shares their history, it bonds them. Post S8? Yes, Post S9? Yes. Post IWTB? Yes. But each of those scenarios ended with an opportunity to do something else, more, different. The Revival ended with change and second chances but also reopened wounds that needed healing and last questions that needed resolution-- a way to end on their own terms, not have a finale thrust unexpectedly on them.

What would they do? Coursework, in my opinion. Light cases. Seminars. Training opportunities. Skinner would have a hand in that, would pointedly shrug on his cane if Mulder and Scully got stir crazy, would pointedly ask them how their daughter was over the weekend. Would delay a permission slip to pursue and solve paranormal cases until there was no other recourse. Would quietly look into who Mulder or Scully hired to watch their kid while they were gone.

Monica Reyes is buried, sorry.

DOGGETT. Doggett's no longer in contact because he sensed a shift in Monica before Mulder and Scully began their Revival shenanigans; and withdrew, jaded, from anything other than regular work. Explore that pain a little: he had to process the inability to save his son during S8 and S9 by accepting the paranormal and its reality; and still lost Mulder and Scully to the quest and Monica to "the darkness." Heavy.

Work in that psychic Charlie story line. Perhaps that's the case that brings Mulder and Scully back out of semi-retirement following the birth of their daughter. Work in the angle that he represents another sort of disconnection from his family or friends, a similar but different path than his sister walked. Meet his niece, ask hard questions about his nephew. Maybe William got some of his powers through those heavily implied psychic Scully genes from the original run. Maybe Lily does, instead; and Scully's case is a way to heal the fears Scully and Mulder face from her burgeoning psychic inclinations: she's not a Jackson 2.0, she's her own person. Etc. It'll help put to bed a few things for Scully, too.

What are Mulder and Scully doing now now? I think others would have a clearer perspective than I do or would; but here we go:

Mulder's looking into what he says are the cost of repairs but are really thinly veiled easy renovations he can tackle with his daughter. Scully is mid-nod before this dawns on her; and she swoops over his shoulder to exclaim "Painted granite countertops?" Lily's... what age, again? Old enough to know the difference between careful mess and wanton chaos; and, more importantly, when to sniff out an opportunity and make a break for it. While her parents are caught up in their discussion ("Not permanent paint, Scully, something washable"), she speeds around collecting string or yarn or anything thin and tie-able; and is halfway through her plan of pulling out a tooth via the old door-and-string trick before her parents sense the silence and bolt for her room. Scully explains why her tooth needs to stay in a few more years and Mulder promises her that the tooth fairy won't come if it's pulled too early. They call it early that night, read her a few books, and collapse on the couch, hearts still racing a little.

Hi there! So my friend and I were having a conversation and APPARENTLY it's not very normal to eat ramen noodles straight out of the packaging. I did it a lot as a child, I kinda just ate them like croutons. Anywho, how would you think Pigsy (or any of the cast for the matter) would react if they saw someone eating uncooked ramen in front of them casually?

Thanks AND OMG I LOVE YOUR SKETCHES THEYRE SO FLUID AND NATURAL AAAAGH-

........are we sure it's not normal to eat the ramen noodles straight out of the packaging? Like give it one good smash put the seasoning in, shake it up and then munch? That's not normal? Dang I gotta break this news to my entire family who have all but one done this at some point--

Anyway tho Mk has definitely done it ima call it now look at him bro will forget breakfast and lunch he grabs a pack of instant noodles from his drawer on his way downstairs and shoves as much into his mouth as he can before Pigsy sees because you know Pigsy would be offended but he won't say anything because you bet college him probably did it at some point but where they differ is Pigsy hated it and Mk thinks it makes a great snack. Pigsy is trying to tell his kid to eat more healthy. Red Son is horrified and disgusted. Mei's on her phone she doesn't have many feelings about it but she personally prefers her ramen cooked because the crunchy noodles get stuck between her teeth. Sandy's offering everyone tea. Mr. Tang feels the most offended about it on behalf of Pigsy's superior noodles hes aghast "Why would you eat that when you have perfectly cooked fresh-made noodles right here?" Pigsy tells him to pay his tab. Monkey King has eaten worse he sees nothing wrong with that he'll take some of that action if you don't mind-
