What is clowns and your favorite neighbor in welcome home? I love Frank, Julie ,Eddie and Wally! Mostly I love Frank cause he is cute and I like his personality!

Clown told me his favorite is… All of Them! He said they’re all his little squishies.

In my head I thought, “hmm… I really like Eddie! But I also like Poppy too. Oh and Julie is so cute… and I can’t forget Frank…” and I did that for a while. So I think my answer is the same as Clown’s, they are all little squishies.

Today my therapist told me she thinks I have ASPD, just in a really atypical way. Like I am super hyper aware of both myself and what I'm feeling, and other people and what they're feeling, and I react accordingly. So like I have cognitive empathy and I'm also good at catching and analyzing impulsive thoughts/behaviour in myself. Which makes it so I don't externally present typical ASPD symptoms. But I still have like the lack of respect for rules/authority, and absence of emotional empathy, and inability to connect with people, and like a general malaise for people as a whole, and alllll the other bits that are characteristic for ASPD. So like ???

Idk. I've known Something beyond just autism and generic trauma responses was going on for a long time now, and I've been suspecting a cluster B of some kind for about a year. It's just. Relieving? To finally have someone be like "yeah you probably have ASPD". Because like now I have a name for all these symptoms and experiences I feel, that makes sense and legitimizes all of it.

For some low-effort doodles, I'm dead curious about how the kids interact with their parents as they age. Just mundane stuff they do together. Does amayas or amara have a "favorite" dad? And like, if you wanna get wild with it, do either of them act Too Much Like Their Dad sometimes?

And the worst thing is I can’t even name a single character or personality trait of Belinda’s other than the fact that she’s just vaguely nice

So I'm totally normal about this (<- bold faced lie) but

Whenever someone falls, and is injured or overwhelmed in battle, Sky is always the first one to notice and get there to help

He repeats these phrases:

"Oh no!" When he notices someone's in trouble and needs his help.

And "I've/We've got you!" When he's coming to help.

Here's 19,928 examples

Literally the first battle we see them fight together

Everyone else went after the moblin, and Sky went to help who got stabbed (revenge vs rescue, Skys got his priorities right)

When Wild got injured jumping in front of a sword for Wind

When Twilight got injured (he and wars got there asap)

When they were getting Twilight out and Lizards followed

When Legend was surrounded while the others were debating (again, priorities people)

We talk about how he's there emotionally for the others, but in battle? Sky will drop everything and go to who needs help. And he's truly the most reliable in tense battle because of that. He's teased for being slow/ low stamina/ sleepy, but the truth is he's the fastest swordsman, and if someone needs him? He's there. Instantly, he's there to help.

And I think that's pretty cool :)

wait tell me about szeth's scars. when/how did he get scars?

He got them in Oathbringer, during the Battle of Thaylen Field, when Nightblood tried to eat him for the first time! He'd never used the sword in a proper battle before, and made the rookie mistake of immediately losing its sheath. You'll recall when Lift found him covered in Nightblood's black tendrils and about to be consumed. She saved him, but he was left with grey skin where he'd been touched, in a pattern resembling vines.

I think more people should remember to draw Szeth with the scars, not only does it make him visually distinct, it also serves as an adorable reminder of that time his only friend almost killed him <3

Me: I think its really sweet that Darius keeps Davi by his side whenever they run out into danger. He barely knows this stranger but Darius prioritizes Davi's safety and even provides him assurance once in the van :)

Tips For Making Unique Character Voices:

(For both narrating & dialogue)

Decide how formally they speak - this is also based on who they were raised around and what their timeline is, their race and culture, etc.

Know their overall volume of speech - maybe they speak loudly because in their past that’s the only way their voice was heard

There’s a hundred ways to say a sentence - sometimes this changes up in a person, but everyone has the way they word their sentences. Example: “what are you doing?” Can be “whatcha doing” “how goes it” “whaddya doing” “what are you up to” “what is chu doing” etc.

Self representation matters - if a person isn’t confident then they aren’t going to sound confident. But it’s not just about voicing confidence or not, there are details to every trait. If you’re character’s not confident then then they might question their choices a lot. They probably won’t judge other people except in high regards. Every personality trait has finer details

History also matters - maybe trauma makes it so your character gives extremely detailed answers to avoid confusion (anxiety). Maybe some kind of accident makes them speak less

There’s a difference in how much people speak - somewhat a follow up to the last point. But it’s not just personality that determines this but also illnesses. For instance my adhd makes me talk a lot nonstop, so much so that I might trip over words, or if I’m “narrating” then I go very out of order. People who don’t care much (depression) might only give vague or indecisive answers. Some people have long answers, some give one word answers.

People know different things - such as when your character is comparing something to their past. Even something simple, not all of your characters might know something like “this specific type of tree” but one character might because maybe it was a tree in their backyard. Characters knowledge determines their understand and ability to explain.

felt like making some more Fakeling content, so i thought i'd share some of the "special" unique properties that each of them has! it's not all of them of course, just one special trait about each Fakeling! maybe i'll share some more in the future...?

the first one is Goudino! she's the second-smallest Fakeling, but she has the largest ears, and that's because the "hat" on her head is her true ears! the smaller ones are just for show! but they're very powerful ears, she can hear pitches than humans can't, such as high mouse and rat squeaks! making it all the easier for her to hunt her favorite meals! she can hear rats squeaking from extremely far away, and even through walls!

second is Poultrino! she has many mannerisms like a chicken, like the way she walks and the sounds she makes! but, she also has a very unique method of "disposing" bits of meals she can't absorb! with the others, like Fakey, the things they can't absorb like bones and plastic just have to be coughed up, but for Poultrino, her body encases them in a protective "shell", kinda like an oyster's pearl! they are still coughed out, but as an "egg", neatly bundled together for easy disposal! just don't mistake those "eggs" for normal ones... they still contain things like bones and excess goop!

third is Paperino! they read many books and other written material, and it's not too rare they find something they particularly enjoy! but, for most things they read, they simply eat it afterwards, so what's the solution if they want to keep something to read later? (not eating it? don't be silly!) they've developed a two-chambered "stomach"! for favorite books and the like, they will shove them further down into this second chamber, which is special in that it won't absorb anything put into it! perfectly safe and ready to read again later!

fourth is Pisceno! the most unique and only aquatic Fakeling, they spend most of their time hiding in deeper waters to ambush prey! it's not always easy when they stand out from their surroundings. so, like a cuttlefish or octopus, they can change their "skin" to near-perfectly match the colors of what's around! most Fakes can change their "clothing" colors with ease, but Pisceno's entire body changes! and sometimes, they'll leave their mustache visible, as a kind of lure to get fish close! in the darker waters, it's extremely effective!

and finally, there's Trashino! since he eats mostly garbage, there's a lot of stuff that ends up inside him that other Fakes couldn't process! since that'd end up with him full of things he couldn't absorb, his body has adapted, and his inner goop is now especially effective at absorbing anything it covers! tough pieces of metal, hard plastic, even things harmful to Fakes such as the dreaded lemon are barely a match for Trashino! he can eat to his heart's content, and his body will not put up a fuss!

but, this has been your fun lesson on Fakeling Properties! hope you enjoyed! ✨
