#hope this answers your question!!

If you don't mind me asking how did you get top surgery at 15? Not that there's a problem with that! Its just really cool thay you were able to, i dont think ive heard of that before

Ah, really it was all the work of my wonderful amazing mother! In all honesty, I would never be even CLOSE to being this happy if it wasn't for her and everything she did to keep me safe and let me transition. Short answer: I got lucky with living in the transgender shield of New York because my parents are rad and moved us up there

Long answer: Quite a few things actually! For starters, I was lucky enough to live in a state that allowed it, and I had proof of being dysphoric from a young age through therapy records and mental health checks. (<- not Necessary, but definitely helped my case! the government LOVESS the mentally ill lmfao) Really when medically transitioning, you need a few things on a list.

1: A letter of recommendation from a therapist (I've been through Several, so no problem there! Just need proof from a mental health professional that you are who you say you are, and you're not going to regret the change)

2: A letter from your general practioner/medical provider, signing off on the surgery (this will actually happen Several Times. but you need one to start off the whole thing)

3: If you're a minor, proof that you're fully developed puberty-wise, through a physical exam with your doctor!

Then, you take all of those to a plastic surgeon. I had an amazing doctor that took wonderful care of me and did a perfect job with the surgery, and I'd really recommend doing a metric shit-ton of research on whatever surgeon you end up choosing! The best bet most often is whatever other trans people recommend. This surgeon will then sign off on it, and you'll book some dates. In my case, there was 2 pre-op meetings! One where they looked at my chest and decided on the best procedure to use, and one where they had my mother fill out consent forms and book the date of the final surgery. (Again, assuming it's a minor like me going through this process, it's likely they haven't been through a surgery before! So there might be one more appointment with a doctor where they check your general muscle strength and how well you'll recover from the anesthetic/surgery in general. Really easy check-up, that typically functions as a less invasive physical)

It's a long, time consuming process that's very fuckin expensive lmao, but I promise you it's worth it. It's so very very worth it. I could go into all the little details of every step of the process and all the hoops I jumped through, but it can and will vary from person to person! Again, I just got very very very goddamn lucky with a family that supports me and was willing to help me as much as they have. Im the luckiest guy on the planet I'm pretty sure. Everyday I get to wake up in the body I've always wanted to have and feel amazing about it.

If Eris blackmailed Ryan in that one scene in the alleyway, what would Pandora’s action be in the same scenario?

This is a really good question! I had said before in the PL: Pandora Edition P2 post that I don't think Pandora would be involved in that incident, but if she was, I think it would go a little something like this:

I think Ryan is the type of person to still pull his fatal prank, even without Eris' goading—anything for the thrill, right? Here, Pandora would act as the voice of reason, assuming he somehow got wind of Ryan's shenanigans or just happened upon the scene. As Pandora tries to stop the tragedy from happening, it turns out that she's a little to late to save anyone, so now there's blood on Ryan's hands—and Pandora feels like she's stained her own as well.

That night, Pandora would go home stricken with grief over the harm that he inadvertently caused through his inability to save those poor people. Surely that couldn't have been real, right? She'll try turning away from her guilt, trying to convince herself in various ways of all the scenarios that could absolve her of the responsibility that weighs on her shoulders from being a witness. Moreover, he shuns Ryan, opting to distance himself from someone who could so recklessly put other peoples' lives on the line like that. Still, she wonders if it's the right thing to do, if being closer to him would put her in the right place to actually save anyone else, should he do it again.

Ultimately, she sticks with her decision to pretend like she doesn't know Ryan. It makes things easier for him. But if she were to get her hands on that USB... he would keep it in tow to convince himself that he did nothing wrong, that there was nothing he could've done. As for the confrontation, well... Ryan would have to piss Pandora off real bad for her to actually go back on her resolve to never involve herself with Ryan again. I imagine Pandora would be in tears from the overwhelming anger in this instance, airing out all his grievances with Ryan in that moment, and when Ryan brings up the incident, Pandora will reveal that, surprise surprise, he has the USB so if Ryan doesn't want to get in trouble, he'd better stand down and listen to everything Pandora has to say. In the end, the evidence puts Pandora in a position where he's in control, so... she'll keep holding onto it.

yo was wondering where you find your scenes. im tryna find some scenes of robert townsend but i dont have amc + or the series bought on anything so i was wondering if you had any like scene packs or links or whatever

yes I have a couple!!!

This is the main one that I use. It has a lot of screencaps from every episode of turn, so it is very clutch

Sometimes I'll also use youtube videos such as

Ian Kahn's own highlight reel

The John Andre Treason Cut

Clips that are posted by AMC on youtube

And then there's also good ol' fashioned google images, where I can usually find promo images of the characters and high quality shots from articles about the the episodes. For example, when I need to make a png of a character, i'll usually use the promo images because it's just them in front of a plain background.

will you ever get around to writing more for feitan? there isn’t enough of him and it makes me ILL

Hey! Thanks for the ask! I'm flattered that you've enjoyed my Feitan fics. I poured a lot of love into the ones I've written.

To make a long answer as short as possible: I have no idea!

I have Fei drafts I still work on from time to time. Occasionally I chuck one on the list for WIP Wednesday when my weeks aren't too busy. But, like anything, what I write depends on what project inspires me in the moment and how much time I have to write. I never really "retire" drafts, so there's always a chance I'll write more fics about a character. I just have no idea when!

Did Agamemnon and Menelaus ever saw Pelopia as a mother figure? When did they get to know who were Aegisthus' real parents? Do you think they could have assumed at some point that Thyestes killed Pelopia?

If they did, those two were just permanently motherless :[[

OHH THAT'S SOME GOOD STUFF TO CHEW ON.

i dont think so?? personally. and i'll explain why, if i may. for starters, pelopia was probably a similar age if not the same age as agamemnon (maybe not menelaus. but agamemnon!) so i don't think they would have seen her as a mother, but Also, they knew their actual mother and they would have been aware of the politics of the time. their rich powerful king father marrying a young beautiful woman ... that's just how it was. y'know? she was never meant to be their mother. atreus never really intended her to be. so i don't think that would have been pushed tbh.

also. they're old when pelopia comes into the fray with aegisthus. and we can kinda infer this because the first time thyestes comes to mycenea (so FOR the feast, before aegisthus is even born) its menelaus and aga who are sent to get him. giving them a sense of responsibility, meaning that aga at least had to be quite old. (its probably good to vibe that when pelopia rocks up aga is like 15??? and menelaus around 13???) in ancient greece/homeric greece, they're practically men. they wouldn't have needed a mother at that point tbh.

i think they would have known aeg's real dad. because ofc aeg kills atreus and then thyestes takes the throne and aga and menelaus were banished ........ i cant imagine thyestes would do that without bragging, gloating about Everything lmaoooo

mAYBE he took .... 'credit' if you will for pelopia (they would have known about her death. no source indicates her body was hidden etc.) or maybe he would have blamed aeg?? ORRR because this is the HOA and its Fucked - he spoke the truth. he spoke of pelopia and everything that happened (but ofc according the aeschylus .... none of this happens lmaoo aegisthus is just a child that survives the feast. he's not a product of incest)

i think though. it's pretty obvious in these two characters that they are ...... deprived of Good parents or parents in general. yknow? menelaus throws himself head first into being a parent. so much so he's almost driven to murder??? he PRAYS for a child. aga?? aga's children adore him. and that's the same thing. he will Not let them feel how he felt. [these two are all about breaking the cycle and whilst menelaus does. aga cannot. but u cant really deny aga tries.].

i think aerope was there to an extent. but i have my own thoughts on her ASDFGHJK

27! how do you warm up i never know how to warm up pls help

27. Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with?

oh, a great question! to be honest, I feel like I don't do much to intentionally warm up - it's not something that often comes to mind as something I need to do! I often dive right into drawing after I get off work... and it's possible what I do at work (graphic design) helps warm me up.

otherwise, I find that doing studies helps me relax and get in the groove more so than other art. or, if not studies, art that I feel is a bit more fun or indulgent. the more I've done art the more I find I'm worse with warming up/sketches/keeping things loose - so for me it's a matter of looking away from responsibilities to do what I want for a little while, even if it's not a traditional "warm up."

this is definitely an area I need to improve on!

You mentioned step dad, was Daniel married to Sophie then? 👀

Not married—in a committed relationship but at one point engaged. They never set a date and Sophie never pushed it. But in every sense that actually matters Daniel filled a paternal role in his life- this post gives a pretty good picture of it. The lack of legal technicality doesn’t actually make anything better. Daniel is 4 years younger than Sophie and 19 years older than Max. Max views him as a paternal figure who he’s regaining trust around after having suffered abuse from his last paternal figure.

Do you ever do requests? If so, do you ever plan on drawing some Yandere with the Hantengu clones? :D hope you have a good day/night!!!

Mentioning an unfamiliar name

yes!! I love yanderes.. and these guys.. these guys are such good material...... nods nods..

I'm not sure about requests..I assume you mean drawing requests? I suppose if it REALLY catches my interest enough, I'd do it, but it'd probably just be line art/sketches.

Hi! Sorry to bother, but could you please tell me why you refer to Little Apple as her? When I looked up the wiki page, they used the it pronoun, and novel translations into my native tongue all use male pronoun. Is it audio-drama exclusive or something? P.S. I really love your art and appreciate you sharing it here! <3

Never ask a donkey her pronouns.
