DO YOU MEAN TO IMPLY THAT HE WILL BE 18 19 OR OLDER WHEN HE UNBECOMES THE GUARDIAN OF THE LAKE?? DOES THIS GO ON FOR YEARS??

And Leo's right-- Donnie won't remember this come tomorrow.

Absolutely.

@systemsentry us

I don’t wanna hear it.

They are my comfort characters.

Your latest Swanatello comic hit me like a truck…. That bit about forgetting and crying and being useless? The way Donnie feels he used to me smart but isn’t anymore? THAT’S ME. I went from being physically and mentally able to disabled overnight (literally, went to sleep one day, couldn’t wake up the next day, they still don’t know what caused it). Memory problems, comprehension and cognitive problems (I could not write my own name), unable to physically get out of bed…. I’ve gotten a lot better, but your comic just summed up those feelings of frustration and guilt PERFECTLY. It was like looking in a turtle shaped mirror. The whole thing is like looking in a turtle shaped mirror…. Swanatello is kind of a brilliant disability allegory actually… Donnie is trapped by circumstances he didn’t choose, his body and mind and abilities are affected…. <3

It makes me really happy to know that this story resonates with people and can speak to other peoples' experiences with memory loss/cognitive disability/etc. I will keep on doing my best with it and I appreciate y'all's support ; w ;

So does swanatello have a different fighting style than Donnie? If so what’s it like? Does he still use the techy aspect of his Bo staff?

:''') I tried to answer a bunch of asks (mostly swanatello related) together in a lump but tumblr had some sort of error and deleted a bunch of them as I was doing so. So I have all the ANSWERS that I wrote out,,, but not most of the asks = 3 = So??? Answers under the cut, and my best approximation of the lost asks! If yours isn't in here, I'm almost certainly hoarding it so I can draw an answer later on!

His fighting style is similar, as the foundation is still the same, but with a ballet flavor! His movements tend to be very graceful and 'swoopy' now, though he also tends to be a lot more aggressive in his attacks. He unfortunately lost his tech bo, along with his headset and tech gauntlet, during his transformation and his family has not yet been able to locate them. He is also currently unable to access his ninpo, so the integration of tech, mystical or otherwise, is missing from his combat style at the moment. He is, however, able to manipulate both light and the water of the lake (think waterbending style) when fighting-- or is it the lake fighting with him...?

The Lake's Curse affects his memory. Anything that might detract from his ability to serve as the Lake's Guardian is obscured-- such as his family and details of his life before. They're not entirely GONE, Swanatello just has... a hard time accessing them sometimes. When his brothers are around, he has something to latch onto and has an easier time accessing obscured memories. But when they leave, the Curse works very hard to wipe them out again.

[ Ask was basically just a lovely compliment that I very much enjoyed, mentioned heartbreaking and had a sparkle heart emoji in it which is my fav <3]

Thank you! ; w ; I'm glad you like them!!!

[Ask was encouraging me to watch Princess Tutu!]

IT'S ON MY TO DO LIST... ; w ;

[Ask was inquiring if there was anywhere in particular where Swanatello likes to spend his time on the lake when his brothers aren't around.]

He usually spends most of his time alone dancing on the surface of the water-- or, if not this, he very much enjoys the willow trees the grows by the bank.

[Ask was inquiring if the Lake has ever felt the need to intervene directly rather than just affecting Swanatello's memory]

Not yet, at least...

Yes. :)

[Ask was inquiring if Swannie views the lake as a deity or entity.]

Basically, yes. He views it as a living, sentient thing. And to be fair it... kind of is.

His family, without a doubt. But his room, his lab, and the internet are a close second...

[Ask said 'since I can't boop Swanatello, can I get a fist bump?]

He's going to bite you! Be careful!!!

[Ask about whether or not I've seen the new Mutant Mayhem trailer with the turtle tots!]

Yes, they're very cute! <3

Three Ships:

Okay so definitely one hundred percent Sonamy always and forever, Apritello/Ramona, and uhhhhhhh. That might be it LMAO 😂

First Ship:

Again Sonamy like. The main reason why I started shipping them in the first place was because of that one rose scene in Sonic X that literally meant so much and Sonic didn't even have to like. Say any words, his actions were enough, and that's what really got to me man like. Ahshsbshs There needs to be an analysis on that alone but Sonamy has always been a special thing for me like waughsgdh

Last Song:

Siren by Kaliee Morgue

@systemsentry @via-rant @molinaskies @leaflinglouie29 and uh. Yee anyone else go ahead!!!!

People you'd like to get to know better

Thank you @memoonlemon for the tag!! Been wanting to do one of these!! ♥

Three ships: AtaLum (Urusei Yatsura), ShinRan (Detective Conan) and the last one is hard to choose since there's so many but let's just say Rankane (Ranma 1/2).

First ship: I think my first ship was from Pokemon, being Amourshipping. I was obsessed with it a long time ago. I'm not sure if I still ship it but it's probably because I've lost interest in the Pokemon anime... 😅

Last song: Ah, I was listening to the entire 'MAISONdes: Complete Collection' on Spotify last night and I think I stopped at the song, 'Dance, Dance, Dada' (Banger of a song, BTW):

Favorite color: Any shades of red or pink!! I like blues, greens, yellow and oranges as well!!

Currently watching: Nothing, lol. But I'm planning to start watching 'The Apothecary Diaries' which drops today and I need to catch up with 'Spy X Family' and start 'After school Hanako-kun'.

Last Movie: I don't really watch that many movies so I can't remember the last one I've watched, um, does the first episode of 'Oshi no Ko' count (it's technically movie length)?

Currently reading: I've started 'Ghost Sweeper Mikami' last night. I've read 5 chapters and so far it's really funny, also I loveeee Shiina's artstyle, it's super cute!!

Sweet/savory/spicy: All of them actually! But I don't like foods that are way too spicy or way too sweet!!

Currently consuming: Peppermint ice tea!! :D We have a box filled with various flavored tea bags (Raspberry, Lemon, Peach, Mint, Thyme, etc.) and since summer I've been making ice tea with them and even now. I like the peppermint, peach, vanilla and strawberry flavors the most!!

Currently craving: I want to eat Lasagna so badly, it's been so long!!

Relationship status: Single.

Last web search: 'Lum Urusei Yatsura', since I wanted to search the ラム tag but I don't have a Japanese keyboard (and I'm too lazy to change the settings) so I just looked it up.

Currently working on: Some art ideas, cleaning up my phone's storage space because it's been warning me for over a week now and I need to finish an analysis in my drafts. Hopefully, I can finish them all...

Tagging: @chayasuu , @danaty-consolation , @livmadart , @misteria247 or anyone who wants to do this as well!! 🌟
