AUGGHHH I love your Fresh SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!!! It's incredibly hard to find in-character Fresh. HE IS COOL BECAUSE OF HIS LORE!!! And, I also love your art so much. I giggle very much every time it comes up on my feed. Also, I started reading one of your fanfics. CAN I JUST SAY YOUR WRITING IS JUST AS SCRUPTIOUS AS YOUR ART?!?!?! it's SO HARD to find well-written utmv fanfics (IMOP). and I love seeing your progress on the little fresh desktop friend thing you have going on. Anyway I just wanted to gush about your art and how you interpret Fresh. Have a wonderful and lovely day :>

Yayyy!

Thank you for the other words, and especially thank you for liking my writing :-]. I think my writing is a bit worse than my visual art [if only because I've only recently started writing while spent years on art] but I care about it much more, so it makes me feel happy when people enjoy it and tell me so.

He deserves the love and warmth

Everything I'm drawing lately is very summer coded -- I think Color is kinda overheating in this one haha

After Color saved it

Maybe in like a park or somewhere warm

Is Tamagotchi a teeny tiny little octopus parasite controlling a skeleton bitty? Or something else entirely? I can't help but wonder 🤔

Its a type of slime mold like creature. Scientists didn't know it was able to feel pain or emotion for a while, with the mold connection. Along with that, before there were synthesized magic for them to eat, the only way to feed your Fresh bitty was live food.

There's still a lot of stigma with keeping one, and many see it as unethical because you need to let it infect at least one bitty for the best possible care.

Common practice was to just euthanize your bitty if you noticed it had the parasite, because it could spread to all your other bittys if you didn't stop it quickly. More common, now that more about them is known, is to give your bitty an alcohol bath to get the Fresh infection outta them; if you do this soon enough, your bitty might even survive.

Can you draw Fresh in somewhere he’s not supposed to be? Parasite form or not? Like in a box or in some cranny or nook. I think he’d be so cute ❤️

(Ps, love the drawings!!)

Misread "cranny" as "canopy"

[contamination-zone]

Summers nice

[contamination-zone]

Daily fresh. busy today haha

[contamination-zone]

friendly reminder now that I am getting more asks since I've been answering more asks, this is a Fresh blog where I Don't Ship, keep that in mind if you send in a request!

[contamination-zone]

hihi! gorgeous art!! may i request nightmare holding fresh and cross up by the scruffs because they’re his stupid pets and he hates them

please and thank you!!

That feels out of character for how Nightmare would treat Cross, but I can see him doing that with Fresh.

[contamination-zone]

So, your last post made me think (crazy…/s).

Idk if it’s implied or not/ said previously and I missed it, so I’m just gonna ask.

In the context where Nightmare keeps Fresh, would Fresh start to get uncomfortable with being restrained (you mentioned in a previous post how Fresh would prob enjoy the feeling) because he now associates it with Nightmare?

Kinda old ask haha, sorry for taking so long. short answer: yes

long answer undercut

The reason I think Fresh is fine with Nightmare restraining it in most of my art depicting them as allies is that Nightmare is only restraining it... physically? If Fresh expressed any desire to be let go, Nightmare would comply.

Nightmare needs Fresh to trust them. In my 'canon complaint' depictions, I don't think NM has the technology to dampen Fresh's magic to the point it couldn't just teleport away, so if he wants it around, he'd need to be a gracious ally who doesn't do anything Too shitty. Restraining Fresh and refusing to let it go would definitly freak Fresh out to the point that a lot of the trust the two had built up would crumble, and Nightmare would have to either rebuild the relationship and put in a lot more effort to get Fresh back, or give up on the partnership.

So Fresh is never truly restrained restrained-- it is always free to leave. In Straydog AU, Fresh is not free to leave, and thus acts that would have been enjoyable or neutral are seen as threatening and scary. Like I think Fresh could wear a cute collar in my allys interpretation as a gag gift by Nightmare and it'd be chill HAHA but straydog au Fresh is very very uncomfortable wearing the collar Nightmare forced it to wear.

In the future... I think Fresh would still feel safe in confined, small spaces, but would get panicked it held down by another person. It would be all about if Fresh was choosing the situation or not. Pressure and hugs would probably be fine as long as it Knows it can leave the situation; IE. after it really trusts someone, he'd prolly still be down to be restrained if there was like... a safeword, or the understanding that if it started showing distress it could be let go.

Its also that Fresh is very tactile, both in my interpretation and also supported by a good bit of canon. He likes to touch, be touched, hugs and cuddles and all that shit. So I don't think he'd just swear off all physical contact, just get... very very stringy about who he lets touch him.

How would Fresh react to a fan that wanted to be friends with him so bad and was even willing to let him feed on their soul sometimes as long as he's gentle about it and doesn't take too much?

I can't really think of a situation where he wasn't extremely uncomfortable with that situation. Like theres Probably one but I really... can't think of one.

He'd be too scared and if he wasn't scared he'd be so so fucking angry. The fan, no matter how nice or kind or Whatever, will forever still have power Over Fresh, to such a ludicrous degree that anything the fan could do to try and gain trust would just make things worse.

They have no right to his trust, his comfort, his anything. Any bids for his favor will always end up under scrutiny, and Fresh probably would ACT like he'd be down to hang out, but I think he'd forever be scared, uncomfortable, and slowly build resentment as he continues trying to please the fan.

Its like, I unno, Fresh isn't someone who's trust is easy to gain, and if the fan doesn't have something they obviously want, it'll come off as a trick + the already there association of fans/creators being Scary to him.
