hi! i wanted to say/ask two things: one - have you ever done a roundup of videogame pan characters? i've only seen you do books i think (i recently learned that all bg3 companions are pan so i wonder)(also i am working on a game that has a pan4pan main couple bc we gotta do good things for ourselves), and two - i know that you use "pan antagonism" to mean that we're being antagonized but i keep misinterpreting it as like, a phenomenon of having a pan antagonist in a story lol

hi!!! i don’t think i’ve made a post about pan characters in games (my memory is terrible), but i do have a game section on my pan rep masterlist!

that one ask made me wonder, is Vesna a hound? does she have an assigned breed or one she's inspired by, or is she just like, a dog? also what species is Ljuba? I assumed a mouse but now i am unsure for some reason

Hello! There's actually going to be some lore on this in the next update. Vesna and Snježana are both wolves (in this setting, that's a bit of an arbitrary definition, despite Snježa's insistence otherwise), that is to say, mostly wolf with some dog thrown in. Snježa is obviously part samoyed and maybe pomeranian. Vesna is probably part collie or some sort of other shepherd dog, but it ultimately doesn't matter much- socially they're seen as wolves, which comes with certain labels in the setting.

The hound thing is more a literal title: She's Franzesca's dog. That's her job. More on that later!

Ljuba is a house mouse. She has light fur but is so blonde that her hair and eyelashes are even lighter. She can barely see but doesn't have glasses. (Bonus: first ljuba sketch)

Thank you so much for the ask! I love when people have questions about Vesna, and yours are always especially good!

@/dagreatk let's see if this works

Hi, i noticed that your art that isn't Arcana-related doesn't have much notes and i know that it might be upsetting. So i want you to know that all of your art is amazing

1 and 8 for Max? Also, what do you think about something like an art-trade? (Or an ask-trade? Like, i want to talk to people, but i can't do it without connection and you've been answering my questions... that means a lot to me(⌒_⌒;))(i hope it's not weird)

I think 1 is age.. Uhhh hes like... 34 now?? I think.. 35?? Im bad with time... Ive rped him at different ages as ive gotten oldeR LOl.. He was 18 when i was small. then 25 and now hes in his 30s 8)      Is there a meaning to their name?No... when I was a kid I just picked names I liked a lot. I would reuse my favorite names a LOT so I had a lot of characters named Maxwell, Harvey, Stella, Stelmaria, and Victoria. Max is one of the few that actually still has that name now heheAs for art trades I dont think I have the time to be able to do that properly :( Ive been low on money and needing commissions so I need to kinda focus time on that. Im sorry! if im open for them Ill make sure to make posts about it.

I liked you(your?)-Potoo bird so much that I googled which bird is potoo bird. And then I realised that potoos were one of my biggest fears, because of their big and, kinda, unproportional beaks... Sooo... Thank you for helping me with realizing that potoo birds can be very nice ;3 (really. they'll remind me of you now, that's cool)

This makes me happy.

Happy birthday!!! You are a great artist and a cool person, I wish you all the best :3

Thank you! All the best for you as well :>

Wanted to share a little win, recently i saw an artist who follows me post a drawing that had pride flags in it, and one of them was exclus pan flag, so i got very nervous and confused, bc i'm pan and they follow me, and i only use the normal one. So i asked them about it and said it looks like exclus flag, and they said they didn't know that and just colourpicked by accident (however that works, probably unlucky google search or wrong source). BUT They gave me a proper apology and agreed to add it to the post that the flag is exclus and it's not intentional to make sure ppl don't feel alienated, and promised to never use it again bc they didn't mean to support exclusionism, i am so happy. I'll keep a close eye on them, but they seemed cool and the way this got resolved makes me happy! maybe you and others will feel happy after reading this. also, a normal respectful confrontation on the internet? truly amazing

aw i'm glad they were so cool about it!!! sometimes interactions like that don't suck lmao

Hello, i just found your blog because of The Arcana Game and i absolutely love the way you draw! Your art is just... awesome

aaaaa thank you~ 

[conjunx]

11 question from OC ask, please? About any of your ocs ^_^

11)   Do they have parents? What are they like and how do they act with their child(ren)?Im gonna answer this for Max since I just drew him.. Max was raised with both his parents, though his mom was more an active figure. Not because his dad wasnt around or wasnt attentive but because his dad spent a long time being Really Really sick.Max’s mom is a stern business woman and was kind of emotionally distant, focusing more on his education and upbringing that wayhis dad was more empathetic and likely to joke and mess around :”) Because of this max is pretty.... Emotionally distant as well and focusing on getting jobs done. He often pretends he isnt emotional but oftentimes his emotions get the better of him and he just pretends they dont.

Heyy… I saw your last vent art and, even if this is not relevant anymore, I wanna say… I don’t think that anybody should die or whatever if they’re havin’ some problems with socialization. I mean, you’re too cool ‘n’ too good to die. I hope this helps

-----------------------

aw, this is really sweet of you @dagreatk! but don’t worry about me, i’m just an angsty teen ahaha

[seiishindraws]

OhMyGosh! I began to read Homestuck in 2017 too, it's a super normal thing. Your John portrait looks SO nice!

thanks!

it’s actually a lot easier to follow for me now ahaha

*stares at fashion YEENA's clothes 4ever (especially one with the bow-tie), then runs away screaming "COOOOOL"*

and then she poses for all you, and immediately gets shy and nervous

[seiishindraws]

Is that OK, if I'll draw YEENA with some candies, like, in some "sweet party trickster mod"? (trickster mod is Homestuck thing, it's like an effect of Smile Dips from Gravity Falls or anything what is SUPER CRACKY AND SWEETLY INSANE and makes you kinda happy)

sounds kinda out of character for her but honestly? go ahead! I’d still like to see it if you do!
