#in-character asks

[ashyswoyaus]

It says we can ask the characters directly about stuff, so could I ask swapped Wander and Sylvia why Sylvia doesn't wear a saddle? Does this mean both Wander and Sylvia walk? Wouldn't riding Sylvia be more convenient?

thank you!!! these types of questions are so fun!!

Nauth, what would make you ask Mela out? :P

(To make this answer not be boring, we’ll pretend “ask [someone] out” is a widely known phrase for them.)

“I—! Well! That’s not exactly a polite thing to ask! Besides, it’s not even like that. You clearly don’t understand.”

(…is what he would normally say. But that’s boring. Let’s also assume it’s something he’s willing to talk about.)

“…I don’t know? I mean, she’s nice and all, and I’d like to do that, but… Well, she just hasn’t shown any interest. There are supposed to be some indicators, aren’t there? Or am I just doing it wrong? …Oh Wyrd, did I ruin my chances? Um, anyway… We’re not really there yet. A-And, you know, I don’t wanna intimidate her or anything. So I’ll just… wait, until she shows that she wants the same thing.”

Question for Belladonna, hi hello. Who comes to mind when you think of words like pretty or attractive or ideal partner?

Okay now that you’ve said Cassiopeia, follow up question. What’s your sexuality?

Hm, interesting… are you sure?

“Hmm… well, I don’t know exactly what my ideal partner would look like. Certainly not Narcissus. But if we’re just talking about pretty, definitely Cassiopeia. Have you seen her hair? Her dresses? The way she carries herself? She’s so stunning, and graceful, and beautiful… I want to be like her.”

…

“What? Oh, I’m straight, of course.”

…

“Yes, extremely sure.”

How does it feel to be funnier than me on my own blog, anon? This ask actually cracked me up, this was hysterical :)

Also if y’all ever want to send me asks directed at the characters on my blog, go for it! I’m happy to give little in-character answers (and if you don’t enjoy roleplay-esque content like this, feel free to hide/block the “in-character asks” tag so you won’t see it). Keep in mind that the characters might lie or have biased information though

E, K, T for the alphabet meme (asking for Kalarros...)

E=Exhibitionism-Do you like being seen getting off? Ever done anything explicitly hoping to get caught?

Oh definitely. There's something incredible about being watched--honestly it's one of my favourite things. And, yes, definitely have done something hoping to get caught. I don't know, it's just... lovely to be somewhat... on display I suppose. Be appreciated like that. Feels wonderful.

K=Kitten-In to pet play? Do you prefer kittens or pups?

I don't know? The word 'pet' irks me. Heard it maybe a bit too often from individuals I'd rather not think too much about or remember too thoroughly. Lots of old flings and unfortunate debtors who really like the word. 'Pet' irks me, so does calling me 'toy', neither of them are actual triggers like 'use' is but well-- same general feeling. No idea how it'd actually go if it was part of a dynamic type thing and those words didn't come into play. Considering commands and praise are a yes? Who knows.

T=Teasing-How much is just the right amount of teasing before somebody gets dicked down? And what are your favorite means of teasing?

Oh how could I ever manage to say just how much is the right amount? Void, it's fun getting absolutely wrecked like that. Honestly you'd probably have an easier time asking Sylvas what's the perfect amount for me with that one--they've had a lot of fun teasing me before, until there wasn't anything else in my head and I was gone. Frankly you can go until I'm so far out of my head that I'm lost in my own little world--I love overstimulation so just going and going works very well for me. As far as the favourite means though? Anything that involves the mouth. Huge oral fixation on me, absolutely ridiculous. I've gotten off just on playing with that before. But really, just touch me. Wherever. I love it.

shoutout to everyone who wants to infodump but cant string together coherent thoughts to form sentences and instead just look at you like this

[kottkrig]

People liking your personal OCs is still such a crazy feeling, I've been doing this for years and ppl asking about them still fills my entire heart with warmth and idk how to handle it

You enjoy this fictional guy I made up for fun?? Whose only content is random artwork or writing made by me and a handful of other artists at most? They have no show/book/game with a large fandom, it's just one person with an art blog?? I love u

Hey now, Let her cook!

[mynnthia]

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

your last light

i feel like not enough ppl are factoring in the cultural clash between laios and shuro and the many micro agressions shuro faced while being in their group. literally the name 'shuro' in itself is one

his name is toshiro 😭 lets also not forget that he has his own communication issues, in the opposite way that laios does- thats literally a factor in their argument, that his envy for laios's ability to express himself sincerely manifested as part of his distaste for him.

ig all this to say like, was their fight heart wrenching, especially when reading laios as autistic? absolutely. anybody whos ever been in laios's position knows how much it hurts to realize someone you thought was your friend doesnt actually like having you around, especially when they didnt tell you and you had no way of knowing due to not understanding their cues. but im begging yall to step back and see the nuance of this situation cause im gonna be real a lot of you are kinda just brushing over it acting like everything is toshiros fault and that hes a terrible person when in reality hes an average guy who really, really clashed with laios and it led to a very long misunderstanding due to their supremely opposite methods of communication. even laios and toshiro, after letting everything out in their fight, were able to come to an understanding and start a foundation for an actual friendship built on better communication

ok yknow what Edit: i shouldve made it even more explicit at the end of this post, i hadnt thought i would need to since i started the post with this, but i think a few too many people are missing my point so i just wanna clarify. i shouldnt have said 'really clashed' and left it at that because yeah they did, but it wasnt just their opposite methods of communication, it is also very much that toshiro was experiencing microaggressions via laios. it may have been unintentional on laios's part, but it still happened and wore him down, made it harder for him to communicate on top of both the more subtle social cues that he was raised with and his own communication difficulties. i also want to say that the fandom reaction to toshiro and the complete ignorance of this point is also racist tbh or at the very least ignorant. i understand that the anime did not cover this panel, and neither did the manga, as this was an omake, but im gonna be real with you guys. there are enough context clues within the story to clue you into this. if you didnt pick up on it thats ok, but i think this is a good lesson in picking up subtext in the stories that youre watching and/or reading. kui shouldnt have to explicitly say 'by the way laios was racist to toshiro' for this point to be understood, and at the very least, when the author portrays a character in a sympathetic light (as kui clearly does) it should make you question Why they are doing so and what makes them sympathetic, rather than youre immediate and only reaction to be 'well i hated what this guy did/said so i hate them and they suck'. idk exactly how to finish this, just. idk. question your biases and gut reactions to things you see in media and stories, and think about whether or not theres subtext that youre missing.
