how do you clone a fey? that's trick question; and fey love those!

@the-navistar-carol (<333) brought up a good point while I was talking about my changeling danny au with her -- Dani! How would she exist in this au? Danny's a changeling - a fae. How would Dani, a clone of him, be created? How do you make a fey? Not through any means that Vlad is doing; you can't make a fey through unnatural means, considering the Fair Folk are nature. And Vlad's not a fey himself -- he's a halfa, even if he could make a fey, it's not in his best interest too. He's a powerful ghost, but even the weakest fae can overpower the strongest ghost. He won't want a clone of Daniel to be more powerful than him.

(In a three tier hierarchy it goes Ancients -> Fae/Mythos -> Ghosts. They all live in the Infinite Realms, but on different Planes. The fae live above the Ghost Zone in the Fey Wild, while the Mythos live beside the Wilds or down in the ghost zone depending on where they are. Places like the Frozone, the Athens Acropolis, and other such large islands climb throughout all three Planes.)

(While Ghosts can travel into the Fey Wild, its generally advised against as the ectoplasm tends to manifest differently there due to close contact magic. It can make it rather disorientating for a ghost, and as human spirits, the Fae living there would jump them faster than they could blink. So unless you're willing to play mind games with 'steal thy name eat thy face' fae, most ghosts keep out of the way of the Wilds. Fey can travel down into the Ghost Zone, they just don't bother.)

That's of course, not taking into account if Vlad even knows Danny's a fae himself. Vlad doesn't ring me as someone who really cares much about ghost culture or the going ons of the GZ. He might be aware that fae exist, but the moment he realizes he can't use them for personal gain he just doesn't bother with them. The risk is greater than the reward, and he'd rather not get eaten. But lets assume he's aware by now that Danny is fey, and has to take that into account while cloning him.

So, how does Dani exist? Good question! Honestly; i'm not sure. She might not exist at all, or if she does, she's more halfa than fey. Vlad would need a lot of human dna and ectoplasm to balance out all that fae magic. He manages to steal DNA from Jack and Maddie to do it, and since Jack's fey ancestry is very dormant its much easier to use alongside Danny's DNA.

In turn, it results in a little girl whose more human-ghost hybrid than clone. With that little extra boost in fey magic making her not a fey, but still relatively powerful. Dani is less of a clone and more of a lab-grown little sister. It's a rather tedious, complex process that has Vlad tearing his hair out trying to figure out. But he does eventually figure it out.

Hey y'all! Another weird question for you: How long do you have to fast for a blood sugar reading to count as a fasting blood sugar measurement? Also, does drinking soda (like, full sugar soda) slowly over the time before the blood test count as not-fasting? Asking because I keep testing* in the fasting blood sugar range when I am pretty sure I am not supposed to. Like, two hours after eating a meal when I've been slowly drinking soda the whole intervening time, or half an hour after drinking a whole full-sugar gatorade *with the home blood sugar test thing, not like doctor's office tests. though I test in the fasting range there too? I do know the word for the tester thing but I am brain fogged at the moment

what dish from another country do you think norway loves? 🧑‍🍳

This is definitely not influenced by any of my own preferences 👀 But anything with seafood is a win with Norway, and I can see him going back and forth between seafood paella and fish n chips as his fave foreign foods ✨

Yearly Redraw Time!!!

Every year, I do a redraw of the first-ever digital drawing I did when I first got my drawing tablet, which happens to be a drawing of myself! This drawing marks the 9th year since I started doing digital art, which is kind of wild.

You can see all the redraws under the cut! (There's 8 of them!)

Not only have I grown as an artist, I've grown at lot as a person—and I'm really proud of myself for getting this far.

Here's to another year of growth. :}

"why even post that post if ur so scared about it lol" bc again i am insane and worry about ppl who don't even exist. my brain goes 100 mph pretty much 24/7 and comes up with all kinds of made-up scenarios that make me literally physically nauseous bc i get so concerned over things that don't exist. i have cried over the idea of ppl that i've never seen or met or heard of. and if that person does exist and is a good person then i want to do what i can to help them. the issue is that idk if they exist, so maybe i am just crazy dsjkl

i am genuinely sorry for displaying mental illness symptoms publicly, but also i do sometimes think asking questions is important but unfortunately i am very bad at knowing when smth is realistic and should be asked and when smth is absolutely bonkers and should just be dismissed from the brain without saying anything to anyone. ....i dont think this whole thing even matters in the grand scheme of things, like... log off and touch grass, Dandy, this doesn't actually matter.

This is so dumb but like a human being created the things that I love. A human being created The Foxhole Court. A human being created To All the Boys I've Loved Before. A human being created The Good Place. A human being created Clannad. A human being created My Hero Academia. A human being created Haikyuu.. Like, so many things I love- everything I love was created by a human being. It's actually amazing. Like, there's hope for humanity out there because these things exist and they were created by these people (and I know their names but I was trying to be dramatic) and I love it so much ♡ I'm crying anyway...

the ryan gosling movie marathon continues. i stayed up all night, took a four hour nap, and then got back into it. here’s how it’s going:

he is such a talented actor my god the range he has.

i keep crying and i don’t know why.

i simultaneously desperately want a break but i absolutely cannot stop watching more.

he needs to do more comedies, a lot of his movies are pretty sad and heavy and he’s so damn funny i wish we could see that more.

i have more thoughts about how a lot of his roles deeply connect with the human experience and how perfectly he portrays a wide array of emotions but i am simply not coherent enough right now to type all that out.

no i will not be watching la la land this weekend because anytime someone talks about that movie it sounds like it ripped their heart out and stomped in into the ground and i still haven’t recovered from the notebook.

reading about what constitutes a healthy relationship w/ food and writing down the tips & reminders and trying to practice them is normal and perhaps even cute girl behavior

brain is so silly bc I'm thinking "i wish Guz had cold hands so when I'm stressed he could cup my face and it'd soothe the itchiness I get when I start scratching at myself from the stress" and then I realized wait he's a fictional character. I could just say he has cold hands if I wanted. but he DOESN'T, i just KNOW that man is a heater !!! he will get me overheated so easily and that is simply something i am happy to put up with because i love him !!!!
