your art lives in my head rent free. not just the way you draw emet-selch, but hythlodaeus, nikiphoros, klaus, solus... all of them are amazing!

as for klaus, who does he get along with the best in the scions? is there anyone there he dislikes?

THANK YOU! omg... Niki and Klaus should show up soon too 🦅🦅

Anyway, for Klaus. He doesn't dislike anyone in the team, in fact he is cool with them all (although he just naturally looks dead and done to everyone.)

But he hangs out more with Urianger and Thancred (with a bit of Estinien)

Usually Klaus would talk about his two adopted sons (which are both of them are grown ups and are adventurer out there) to both Thancred and Urianger.

And if Estinien is with them, they would do groceries. (being wanted to that place is optional)

What, if any, is your biggest source of fear or anxiety when it comes to writing or otherwise portraying romantic or sexual scenarios?

I'm worried about not being a very good writer, especially when it comes to matters of sex and romance. If you want a quick comic poem full of nob jokes then I'm your man, but trying to come up with prose that communicates a sense of romance, let alone sexual chemistry, is very probably beyond me. I suppose I'm worried about sounding clichéd, clumsy or just flat out ridiculous.

I'm also probably shy about trying to write about same-sex romance or... well same-sex sex. Probably due to many years of internalised homophobia and a lack of examples to draw inspiration from (although that has been helped by being on here, as there are quite a lot of very talented creators covering such things - @scholarlostintime, @astrology-bf and @houserosaire for example). So it's not that I doubt it can be done well, it's just I'm not at all sure I could do it well...

And also, if I am going to try to do anything with a "ship" with a canon character, particularly a popular one, then I am very unsure that I could get their voice and character accurate enough. I don't know whether it feels disrespectful to be writing for a canon character maybe? It doesn't feel that way when other people do it. But I'm worried my attempt would be more crude caricature than faithful rendition.

Also if it's a character that lots of people ship their OC with then I will probably unfavourably compare my attempts with their far better work. And it might look like I'm poaching other people's ideas.

And, as @primamchorus has so eloquently said, it's quite tricky to talk about bodyparts without sounding prudish, childish or overly biological. I'm not even sure I could talk about them in general conversation, let alone in writing.

So there's a few barriers... Maybe I should stick to silly poetry?

I get a kick out of how nobody ever recognizes the Warrior of Light. I mean, there are widely circulated newspapers, but mass distribution of information is still in its infancy. People will be like, "You there! I need someone to shovel shit for me!" and the WoL is just like "sure, fine with me." Then they realize they have someone who literally saved the world shoveling manure and fall all over themselves apologizing. Or they'll be like, "Watch out! There are bandits on the road!" And the WoL will just smile cryptically like "They don't know I kill gods."
