Lore Asks

Mostly about the birds I think. Disclaimer, this is like .001% of the asks I have in my inbox -- some of the others I might answer with a comic, or at a later time, or something. If you really want to reach me it’s better to email me straight at contact@surfacage.net

in previous FAQ's you stated that Spark was the youngest of the leaders but if you go to the lore page it says that Spark is older. i'm just sort of confused now,,,,

Spark is the youngest as a leader (he's the last to be recruited) but he is the oldest by age (27).

Hi, I love your Pokemon art! :D Quick question: am I crazy or do Articuno and Zapdos have little fangs in that last pic? Thank you for the gorgeous drawings, and the shitposting is awesome, too btw! :3

All three leaders get fangs/nails when the bird takes over fully. Dunno about other legendaries though heh

OKAY BUT I didn't even like Blanche before looking at your art and NOW I HAVE THIS WEIRD CRUSH THINGAMABOB

Not sure if Blanche or if art Blanche wouldn't know what to do with your crush anyway

Are we gonna get to see the moment each trainer paired with their Titan? Or maybe just Blanche, since she was last? Just wondering. Totally NOT for, you know... fan fic reasons.

Blanche's bonding will be in the comic It's….intense

is zapdos the only one who calls go 'little instinct'? because if spark AND go are 'little instinct' in the same room with articuno and moltres, then i am confused.

Yes! Zapdos calls Spark by name, 'fledgling', 'brat', list goes on, but the Titan doesn't call Spark little Instinct, because to it Spark is much more than a team leader.

Does Go play an important role in the comics or is he just a supporting character?

Maybe not in the Mystic (this) arc. In the Instinct arc, likely.

Hey so can the birds take over the leader's bodies without consent or does it have to be an agreement thing? I'm curious.

It depends on the extent of the bond. Zapdos can. Moltres can, but prefers to ask Candela first (Candela has scheduled Moltres days). Articuno cannot unless a) in a life or death situation or b) Blanche gits gud

tebiird said: What lead to the change of spark having ear piercings? I noticed they started appearing recently(is) is zapdos using his human as a pin cushion now?

Spark has always had his ears pierced, he just doesn’t wear earrings much, as opposed to Zapdos, who is fascinated by 'I will poke a hole in myself and wear things in it'.

Hey I just finished reading through your 'and the world will turn to ash' comic postings (which are absolutely brilliant by the way) and I had a question about Sabrina the Rocket! Because it seems like she's on semi good terms with the professor and possibly Lt. Surge, (also based on her character design) is she actually the Kanto Gym leader Sabrina? Sorry is this is spoilery for the comic, and feel free to ignore, I was just super curious!

Correct, this Sabrina is the Kanto Gym Leader, Surge is the Vermilion Gym Leader. Carl, Candela's assistant, knows Janine, the Fuschia Gym Leader :^)

Headcanon that as soon as zapdos takes over spark he puts on some eyeliner to make the eyes look more vibrant and dangerous lol (It kinda looks like it tbh and it's really fucking hilarous to me)

Zapdos actually does this with all of its bonded. Articuno brushes hair immediately. Moltres just dicks around sitting on high places.

thehinafreak said: In your mind, when the titans are speaking through the leaders, how do they sound?

They sound just like their bonded, but it echoes a little.

wAIT THEY ALL HAVE WINGS WHATT DO THEY TAKE ON OTHER BIRD CHARACTERISTICS TOO CUZ IF BLANCHE SUDDENLY SPROUTS ARTICUNO'S TAIL I WILL DIE

Hehe! I will be painting them in Titan mode, wait for then :D
