the new shitten resemble more a lamb or a cat? Nour made it very clear for narinder that he was upset with the firts two shittens lol (joking of course)

Esha (shitten created by my friend, Cal) is much more lamb like! Nour finally had a baby that hardly resembled a cat in any way and even avoided Narinder’s weird streak of having twins each time.

Hanan and Akali took to their little sister immediately, despite their worry that Narinder would end up loving her more than them.

Do you have any cool fish facts to share?

ummmm i likeys them

I love how Ares actually sound concerned for Athena and shielded Aphrodite and his siblings. Like him being protective of Aphrodite, I get, but the fact that he bothered to protect Hephaestus and Apollo and was genuinely worried about Athena, just gives me this feeling that despite everything that happened between them he still has some care for them.

Also, apologies if my vocabulary isn't that good, English is not my Native language.

I’ve always liked the idea of portraying Ares in a more nuanced, gray light instead of just black and white. It makes him much more relatable too. Rather than having Athena and Ares be enemies 24/7, exploring a rival sibling relationship is much more fun.

Yes, they’re always fighting each other, but when it really matters, they still care for each other.

This might be weird but can we see Prowl's and Jazz's teeth? I love seeing cybertronians with human like teeth, especially when drawn with prominent canines. You do it a lot and I think it adds another dimension to them and makes them feel more alive.

Apologies if this is weird. I have been on a Bones(tv show) kick lately and the ability to see into a dead person's life just from their teeth really fascinates me.

Bones huh, I’ll have to check it out. I have a deep obsession with bones, I have a collection.

They actually do have different teeth in mind when making their designs. Prowl has sharp back teeth and a slight underbite. Jazz has a perfect smile! With some lil fangs.

How many art styles do u have? 'Cuz I'm eating every single one of them and they're all so damn good 💯🔥

I'd say for characters my go-to's are usually either fully colored and detailed drawings, manga style, sketch with no shading, chibis and something between chibis and normal characters. It depends on my mood

I do landscape drawings sometimes too but they usually take a while so I don't do them very often

Gotham Romcom where a Gothamite happens to pull a confused tourist to cover during an altercation. They fall in love as the frustratingly long battle rages in the background

Oh my god. Grizzled Gothamite pulls frozen-in-terror tourist lady into a sewer to hide. She screams at him but then realizes he saved her life. He helps her navigate the sewer system to get back to her hotel safely as Gotham burns above them. He’s a (retired firefighter/EMT/disillusioned dock worker) and she’s a Metropolis corporate baddie who was fully prepared to stab the Joker with her heel despite being terrified. She falls for him when she realizes he does care under the tough Gothamite exterior. He falls for her when he realizes she is tough, she just screams and freezes up sometimes when she’s scared. They trudge through shit together and trade stories until they get to her hotel and ride the Joker gas quarantine out together in her room. With takeout.

…..why do I want to write this?

Do you think the main characters (in aurora)’s fatal flaws can be summed up in one word? If so, what are they?

Yes, but most of my answers only register as flaws if you squint. I think characters are most interesting if their admirable qualities are also what gets them in trouble, and anything becomes a flaw in the right circumstances.

Kendal is selfless. He barely registers himself as a person, so his acts of compassion frequently come at a severe personal cost. He has a massive blind spot for how much it hurts others when he hurts himself. He is kind and lacking in ego, but he has zero ability to advocate for himself. He defines himself by what he can do for others, and is only barely beginning to understand that he can do things for himself.

Alinua is paralyzed. She wants to heal and she does not want to hurt, and she's wrestling with a massive, terrifying power and responsibility that allows her to do both. She spent so long terrified of hurting anyone that she overthinks her actions unless she's running on pure adrenaline and impulsiveness can take over for her.

Erin is independent. He's quicker than everyone around him, and he has no patience for anyone who he sees as slowing him down. He is tremendously powerful and very intelligent, but he has absolutely no ability to work in a team, because that means trusting others to execute his ideas flawlessly, and from his angle, nobody can do that reliably except for him. It's not a logical conclusion, but he can always find a reason for why his plans were foiled by other people messing them up. Erin would love to be helped and rescued. He just knows nobody can, and nobody will.

Falst is loyal. Falst is also unbelievably lonely and, like Erin, has cultivated extreme self-reliance in the face of neglect. Falst loves being part of a team, but has absolutely no ability to trust that he is safe in it. He hasn't been wanted anywhere in a very long time. He's too proud to say that, and he's very angry at the part of himself that is hurt by that, which makes him very volatile in very specific contexts where that part of him is exposed to the air.

Dainix is insightful. He reads people too clearly, but has very little understanding of how much it's okay to plainly say about what other people are thinking and feeling. Where he's from, thanks to the magical influence of Fire, the seat of emotion, everyone can to a certain extent feel the vibes and temperature of the room and everyone is mostly on the same page about it. He is utterly unprepared for people like Falst who become extremely defensive at any insight that prods a sensitive spot, and he's pretty much hopeless at performing any deceit more complex than a half-truth.

Tess is free. She's the ideal of wanderlust, and living her truth is good for her, but it makes her fundamentally unreliable for everyone around her. She cannot be comfortable in stability, and she is ultimately following a selfish goal of pure self-determination that makes it impossible for her to stay anywhere long. She is disconnected from her surroundings and the people who love her. She doesn't like thinking of her loved ones as tethers holding her down, but if she stays anywhere too long, that's what they become.

Apologies if you've already done a post on this and I've just missed it, but can I ask for your take on the pyjamas worn by the cast of interview with vampire? I mean technically they're not a 100% necessary item, but just from a quick look there seems to be a lot of variety and they do change over the series

ok, i’m delighted by the specificity of this question, and it turns out that i have a VERY extensive answer.

there’s a lot of sleepwear in IWTV due to the volume of bedroom/coffin scenes, and like any other outfit, these costumes are shaped by characterization and historical period. for instance claudia initially wears a long, modest, frilly nightgown - an old-fashioned style that plays into her girlish doll wardrobe purchased by louis and lestat. however her sleepwear matures over the years, including a trendy lace nightdress with bloomers in the 1920s (note the rectangular silhouette), and a pink padded jacket/pastel robe outfit in 1940s paris. she's following contemporary trends while charting a visible trajectory from child to adult.

when i wrote about the Théâtre des Vampires coven costumes, i noted that while their wardrobes share certain themes (ie. monochrome patterns and stripes), they each have specific personal tastes. that holds true for sleepwear. in the S2 finale we see the coven going to bed in their coffins, with Eglee in a gorgeous (maybe 1940s?) robe, Celeste in a striped pajama suit reflecting her 1920s-30s cabaret style, and Armand in a plain grey set of prison jammies because he's Suffering.

of course, the star pajama outfits all belong to Louis and Lestat, playing into their wealthy domestic aesthetic in S1. they receive multiple bedroom/coffin scenes, and Lestat's gold Leyendecker robe is obviously iconic.

touching on the historical side of things for a moment, pajamas (as in a matching buttondown top and loose pants) were popularized in the western world in the 19th century, as a repurposed south asian import - kind of like how banyans became trendy among the upper classes in 18th century england. this was when loungewear started to catch on as a concept, both in terms of dressing gowns and smoking jackets (which you could wear while socializing at home) and actual pajamas, which became unisex in the 1920s.

back in his human life in the 18th century, Lestat probably slept naked or wore a shapeless white nightgown (and possibly a nightcap, the sexiest of garments). but in New Orleans he adopts Louis' lifestyle, which involves a luxurious wardrobe of fashionable menswear. they're both into shopping and looking good, and i think they enjoy the ritual of getting dressed together each night.

(i also have a personal theory that Lestat may prefer to sleep fully clothed because his formative traumatic memory involves waking up naked in the dark. after all, he doesn't need pajamas to stay warm, and he doesn't have a recent habit of wearing them in his human life like Louis does. then again, maybe he just enjoys having a new outfit for every occasion!)

in Dubai, we only get one scene (iirc) with Louis and Armand in their pajamas, lying in bed wearing outfits that tie into the striped prison bar imagery of their bedroom. Armand is in warmer brown tones (like his Paris wardrobe) while Louis is in black and grey, like the rest of his Dubai outfits. i'd also note that this is the one place where they're genuine in private, meaning that they aren't putting on a show for Daniel. so this is potentially Armand's most relaxed costume in the present day.

the fact that they're wearing this kind of old-school sleepwear feels very appropriate for their whole deal, imo. in the 21st century, a lot of people just sleep in boxers and t-shirts or whatever. there's a slightly 20th century vibe to wearing a full set of buttondown pajamas, and Armand's outfit reads as more stylish (and possibly more wealthy) than your average millennial guy. which makes sense! they're old men.

i think we can assume that every single thing in their Dubai home is ferociously expensive, even when it doesn't need to be. considering the way Louis gives himself a modern makeover in the finale, i do wonder if he'll switch over to sleeping in t-shirts etc next season, or if he'll stick with variations of the same sleepwear he wore during his mortal life.

Kafka have died?

I'm going to hold your hand as I say this but yes, he died… a century ago, to be more specific.

[anniflamma]

What would be your reaction if the Epic singers saw the fan art of Odysseus and the Gods?

Probably die
