I refuse to believe Link's hair stays that neat through all those weather changes. (And skydiving. And fighting. And just walking around in the wilderness.)

I’ve spent a lot of hours reviewing videos of horses and writing down their behavior, and I’ve come to accept that my contribute to humanity will be one of the memes I made using horse pictures from the videos.

Here you go, internet

what is your favorite thing about charles and your favorite thing about erik? separately, as in what you like most about their characters :]

a devious question this one is, my friend!!! it's hard enough for me to explain my thoughts cohesively, but having to pick ONE thing i particularly love is difficult. with characters like charles and erik, theres been so much done with their characters over the decades and so they have so many components to them that make them so interesting and fun to observe. BUT I TRY FOR YOU TODAY. under the cut i kinda ramble and the size of this text box makin me anxious

i think if i were to be simple and broad, what i enjoy most about charles is his determination to help others, even if he isn't really thanked and/or if people don't even like him. ofc, this isn't to say he hasn't done wrong- to be honest, the fact he does wrong/questionable things at times is another aspect of him i really enjoy, maybe because- broadly speaking- he's meant to be altruistic (intent vs outcome and all that). i don't know if that's super exciting to most people, but it is for me

as for erik, my reason for liking him is easier to explain tbh. To Be Simple And Broad, his progression from villain to antihero over the decades has been fun to observe (as much as i have so far anyhow) and analyze. i think to be a bit more specific, him using his rage and pain as justifications for his villainous actions is definitely what compels me the most: hurt people hurt and the sort, an idea i've always found interesting (something something vicious cycles and the like). yet now, he recognizes this wasn't really. A Just Thing To Do and is beginning to change that, which i enjoy

Hello! Um, Are you ok? How have you been doing?

Hello!

I am fine, thank you for asking. I had some health issues a while back, but all seems okay now after several unhelpful doctor visits. 👍

Most recently, I'm struggling with mental health. ADHD especially, which has gotten worse as I get older. I kinda thought my mental health would even out with every birthday, but apparently that is not the case. Sitting down to work steadily on a project is nearly impossible - it's a good day if I can get five to ten minutes of writing or drawing done at a time. It's become very frustrating to live like this, but I'm trying to manage, and continue working on things when I can! I have so many things I want to do (including finishing Éxtasis oh my god I'm so sorry for people who wait so patiently for every chapter - I promise I'm doing my best!)

Anyway, that's part of what's going on behind the scenes here! Also I don't go outside anymore because it's been 105+ degrees for three weeks straight.

Bonus Insmeeth snarlkitty sticker with holographic hearts because it makes me laugh.

yumi yumi yumi.

do you have a playlist you listen to when you're working on your oneshots/series? or are you someone who needs a more quiet environment to immerse yourself?

hmmm i think i don't care either way the only time i put on music while writing is when i actually want to listen to music, otherwise i just write in silence, exactly like this, hunched back and all

I love my auntie dearly, I really do, but good god is being around her nowadays pretty much akin to being in Alien...

And I feel so mean for saying that because I know she loves her kids and wants to have them, and it's rude in general, but watching her constantly groaning in discomfort and complaining and almost doubling over when one of them kicks, which happens at least once every five minutes... it's fucking body horror to me. The actual outline of a foot showing through her skin has burned itself into my memory and I wish I could forget it

In my defense she's very clearly reaching the end of her rope as well, always swearing and cursing out both her husband and herself for getting into this, repeating "10 more weeks" over and over again like a mantra, and just generally looking extremely exhausted, especially since she's got a hyperactive six year old on her hands too

And to think that this is technically the easy part, they're not even born yet... may whatever higher power there is give her strength, that's all I can really say

The Spy-Maestro dynamic is the FUNNIEST thing to me because they’re both getting a taste of their own personality through the other but they are also so incredibly petty towards each other.

Spy recognizes Maestro as someone so committed to their job/persona that she’s borderline stopped being herself anymore. Maestro views herself as least important when it comes to her job and her future. She's not the person that she used to be anymore, she's Maestro and that is what matters most. What comes first is what needs to be done and how she needs to do it. And isn't that him? He's dedicated his life to his job but what about when it's done? What happens next? What is he doing this for? They all have skeletons in their closet but he’s recognizing his own.

But Spy also dislikes Maestro because they’re both full of themselves in a way that pisses off the other. It's hard for Spy to maintain his cool-guy persona when Maestro consistently recognizes him by the tar in his lungs and has no problem telling others as much. She also decided to wear a cheap suit to the battlefield because she does not care to spend the time to buy a suit that would be fashionable and comfortable like his own despite the fact that she could easily do so. Her fashion sense is an atrocity and-

Maestro sees Spy as what she could become. Maestro could devote herself so much to her job that she’s lost sight of why she’s doing it. She’s not Maestro the Mercenary, she's Maestro the Future Star, and it's important to remember that distinction. She is going to be famous and Spy is Spy. And there’s something terrifying about that. How easy it would be to get sucked into this world, and to stop fighting the cesspool. To become so dedicated to what has to be done that you’ve lost sight of why you’re doing it.

Maestro also dislikes Spy because fuck him her fashion sense is amazing. Nevermind that she hasn't had a composition played anywhere in years, everyone goes through rough patches who cares about hers. And actually Spy it says more about him that he's bothered to research her because he's probably the one who's "deluding" himself and not her. Also there's no point in her wearing an expensive suit to work because they are paid to kill and die everyday so who gives a damn about what brand of suit she's wearing as long as she's wearing it.

"Now that's a good question," Dorian smiled as he leaned back in his seat-it was a question he had pondered a number of times, especially once the plan started to get underway. Although he planned to take quite a bit of money with him when they escaped New Orleans, so as to start them off on a good foot, he knew it wouldn't last forever, and he wanted to be a good provider to Elizabeth and their family, so it was a question he'd long sought to find an answer for.

"Well, as you know, my father has been a shipping magnate for many, many years," he replied, fingers laced together as he gave his answer. "He received the business from his father, who received it from his father, and so on and so forth. But to tell you the truth, even though my old man has tried to prime me to take it up someday, I've always found it dreadfully boring. No, if I'm going to go into business for myself, I don't want to sit behind a desk in a stuffy old office all day, it'd drive me mad. And so, once we make it to California, I...I would like to become a florist."

Although his parents politely tolerated Dorian's love of horticulture as a silly little hobby, he himself actually took it very seriously-much more seriously than any of his other studies they'd foisted upon him, and so, he'd love to parlay that into a business all his own, finding it a much more appealing career path than that of a shipping magnate. A job where he could be on his feet instead of stuck behind a desk, interacting with people, helping them with their own gardens, assembling bouquets for young couples, getting to work with plants all day as he often wished to do here at home-what wasn't to love about that?

"I'd especially like to specialize in roses," he explained with a small smile. "I...I hope to take some cuttings with us when we leave, from the roses Mrs. Pace planted here. I'm sorry that I won't be able to take them with us wholesale, but...at least a part of them will be able to live on in our new home."

2, 9, 33! also i hope you can stay warm!!!!

2. lighter or matches?

Lighter but that never stops me from accidently burning myself on either option, aheh. I play too much.

9. which do you prefer, hot coffee or cold coffee?

Hot coffee, there's something comforting about a warm drink that's just sweet enough while still being a bit bitter. Best of both worlds.

33. the last adventure you’ve been on?

Going to a trampoline park and immediately leaving because we realized it was meant for children under ten. (Listen, I would've stayed but there's no way I wouldn't have punted one of them like a lil football on accident.)
