Lawrence x Rire perchance ? I would love to see my two favorites together :]

This was supposed to be part of an answer dump but i decided to separate it lol. Redraw of this pic!

For pride requests, like, Shu has something going on. Something dysphoria, maybe ace too but maybe he moves past repulsion once he figures out the gender thing, I don't know, what's your read?

oh i 100% agree, i have always seen shu being a little uncomfortable with their existence because it reminds them that they are a little too human (in his heart and in his mind) so it will probably take them a while to realize anything in some form without layers and layers of deflections but they're getting there (this is the sole reason why i like to see shu as a gem slowly being polished, they were always brilliant but it takes time to see it and accept it yourself)

☕ lucanis likes coffee and it sounds like neve might like coffee too[?]. what if they chat over coffee sometimes about their shared interests of like killing venatori and looking stylish as fuck (ㅅ´ ˘ `)

Can you draw Audrey 2 beating the shit out of Loki Laufeyson?

I think they'd be frenemies-with-benefits not beat each other up

[hawkzeyes]

Can I ask why you seem to be harsher with Bruce than other characters?

It’s my favorite hobby

I think I'm making another writer friend

Turns out commenting on people's works and reblogging their things and kudos-ing their things makes them happy and they wanna talk back to you

Coughs pointedly at my like vs reblog ratio

[hellsite-hall-of-fame]

How do you feel about staff's intent to remove reblog chains, considering your blog's basically an amalgamation of reblog chain long posts?

haha I’m actually legitimately terrified and trying really hard to not think about it :)

(seriously like i don’t wanna make a thing of it, but i’ve gone down the posts about it and like wtfff?!? why why why?!?? like I get their reasoning for it but it’s not accurate to the actual users of tumblr?? i’d rather scroll though 20 long posts than use the examples of what this would look like that I saw. but if this is wrong let me know…. but yeahhh i’m scared.)

I'm another of the doesn't read abo fic crowd. To the point where I usually filter it out of my AO3 searches so I don't even have to see it. That being said, I read your abo fic just now because I like literally all of your other stuff so I figured why not? And I was pleasantly surprised to find that I actually enjoyed it. You always characterize them both so well and the entire thing was so soft. Very well done.

I'm always a little torn about how to respond to comments like this, because on the one hand, I totally get the feeling of, like, "Wow, I don't usually enjoy this thing, but I like how this author did it, and that feels really special and exceptional to me, so I want to express that!"...but on the other hand it kinda sucks to receive a large number of comments that amount to, "Hey, so that subject that you enjoy enough to write? I think it sucks so much that I don't even want to lay eyes on it. But you're special and managed to do it well, which surprised me! Good job!"

I knew I was going to get a lot of these after posting that fic because A/B/O is a polarizing subject that is popular to be loud about disliking. I also get them not-infrequently about 666 and my smut in general, from people going, more or less, "I don't usually read porn BUT your porn is emotionally deep, and therefore superior."

And at the end of the day, all I can say is: I very much appreciate that you have enjoyed my writing enough to take a chance on something that isn't usually your thing, and I additionally appreciate that I wrote it in such a way that you then enjoyed that thing! But I also encourage people to consider that I as the author (not to mention many, many of my readers) am reading and writing these things because I like them. Even when I'm not the one writing them.

For stuff like fanart, could I tag you in a post or is sending said art in an ask easier?

Thanks :)

Either way is fine, whatever works for you!

[kittynugg]

Little Dilemma’s so good I keep coming back to it to read when I need to wind down. I feel like you write the characters so well but in? A style I’ve never seen before? If that makes sense. It’s very entertaining.

Gnawing on my WALLS about them keep up the good work

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

i was bored and i like drawing and you made me feel good so i drew you a picture!!!!!!!! look at him in his little grey void!!!

[timegears]

answering your ask like this so it doesn't show up in any tags. being very negative here and i don't want to rain on anyone else's parade. also a lot of this is just word vomit so i have no idea how cohesive this is lol.

i will say i haven't played e0ts myself so take what i say with a grain of salt but everything i've heard about it (including from my wife who is a trusted source on this to me) it just sounds like it's very meanspirited. i've heard it won't ever shut the fuck up about ch@tot like for the love of god we get it already can you please talk about anything else. also not a fan of the way i've heard it treats the female characters (particularly team ch@rm and cr3sselia, making the former out to be corrupt idiots and making the latter an utter bitch) when the base game is already limited on how many female characters it has. especially when those scenes are used to hype up a male character like. okay.

i have more of a leg to stand on for zero. i haven't finished the postgame/main story section yet, so i won't comment on that, but i have finished the prequel aspect of it and. ghghh. the way this game treats disabled characters is really horrific. gulpin's death was genuinely so upsetting to watch as a disabled person myself. i don't see why we had to watch one of the disabled characters die violently onscreen while the able bodied deaths occur offscreen, so we're spared the details of those. it feels so masturbatory in how it wants to pat itself on the back for how it handles ableism but treats disabled death as shock value. and i'm not saying that disabled characters can't ever die ever, it's just how their deaths were handled in comparison to the abled ones.

and i'm not indigenous, so i won't put my foot in this too badly, but saying that "dungeon pokemon are more inherently violent because they weren't raised in civilisation" is. bad. like REALLY REALLY fucking bad. they even call r@mpardos the anti-indigenous s slur at some point iirc like. good fucking god. can we not parrot actual colonial rhetoric in this p0kemon game.

the whole thing with r@mpardos being uniquely evil just sorta spits on the messaging in se2. like the point is that separating people into black and white boxes of "good" and "bad" is meaningless because "good people" are capable of doing some really horrendous things and "bad people" are capable of doing wonderful things, which is just a realistic fact. and i give the base game shit for doing this with d@rkrai as well, so i'm not targetting just this fangame with this.

speaking of d@rkrai but brainwashing duskn0ir to be evil is such a boring direction they could've taken that in. him simply being afraid of death and using that to fuel his bad deeds is so much more interesting.

also HATE the way this game flanderizes c3lebi. i know the base game doesn't give her much but god if you could give the male leads a ton more to their characters (regardless of if i liked what the game did with them or not) then you don't have to make most of c3lebi's scenes be hammering in her crush a billion times. it's why i've actively grown to not like a lot of fut*re trio fancontent because of how misogynistic people are about c3lebi. i could fix her (make her more suicidal). with all this being said, i do like how it handles esp3on as another female lead (though i don't care for her dead teammates. maybe if the game didn't make them fatphobic and then try to make them sympathetic, i would've cared more lol).

one last thing is that i also can't stand hero in this game. oh my god they don't fucking shut up ever. this game knows that it doesn't need to have 20 entirely full boxes of dialogue from them in a row, right? they just drone on and on, and it's so tiring to read (god bless my wife for being the one to voice them when we stream the game together).

for the most part, zero has been really unpleasant to experience, especially as a disabled person, which is why i really don't like it being regarded as "basically canon." i won't say there's nothing i like about it because i actually like a lot of the shelter cave section, but once everyone leaves the cave, it nosedives straight downhill for me.

i'm giving e0ts a pass for now as it would just be unfair for me to give genuine critiques when i haven't played it myself (emery can sound off with her own much more valid critiques in the replies if they want).

i don't like to tear fanprojects so viscerally (especially as someone with a pmd story myself. i don't want to foster any hate in fandom that way) and please don't think that these critiques are me personally having it out for the creators of these games, but these being fanprojects doesn't excuse them from being criticized, especially on the more bigoted end of things (i do the same with official games, such as super's bad fatphobia issue). and them being seen as "basically canon" when they just feel much more meanspirited than the official games and don't capture their integrity just feels wrong.

I occasionally wish to reach out to old friends/acquaintances I haven't spoken to since high school/some other even earlier time in my life, but I have SOOO little social energy even for required tasks (like making dr phone calls or etc), I never have any leftover for extra ones, and it would be very odd to message someone I haven't spoken to in like 5 years out of the blue but then take 4 entire months to respond back lol.. My natural curiosity with nostalgia/collecting details of the past/etc. (literally if I were born a little earlier I would definitely do scrapbooking or something lol) is very strong, but, alas, not strong enough to beat out the Social Issues Demons apparently

Anonymous sent - do you think the whole thing with kamoshida would've ended up darker if joker was a girl instead of a guy? [both IC and ooc, i saw a reddit post asking what would be different if joker was female

Oh, absolutely - especially if a female Joker was one of the girls Kamoshida decided to take a 'special interest' in - because then you wouldn't just be seeing glimpses of it or hearing about it, you as the player would be experiencing it firsthand yourself - which would probably be much more unsettling and uncomfortable. Also I imagine they'd probably change up the consequences - like rather than Joker being expelled if they don't finish the first Palace in a certain number of days, the punishment for failing the deadline could be something far worse and with even darker implications.

Hello!! I just LOVE the way you draw and show us swatch.. I was wondering if your design/persona(lity) of swatch is open to yumeshipping-selfshipping?

I love the 666 series! It doesn’t matter if it’s explicit or not, your characterizations and plot are what makes it amazing to read. I’m sorry you’ve been apprehensive about posting more due to all the attention on it (most of them are in the top 2 pages of the ship on AO3, congrats). I know I for one will be THRILLED to read any addition, just becuase it’s from you and about the characters you’ve fleshed out for us. - 🐈‍⬛

Aw, thank you! Honestly I really appreciate everybody's positive responses! The apprehension was mostly at the sheer volume of response to the last installment, with that specific and unfortunate combination of a lot of lamenting that it was winding down (however well-meaning those comments were) + the folks that got really weird about the CNC. One person who left such a comment even ended up deleting it, I think probably after realizing that it wasn't a reasonable thing to critique when they admitted they hadn't actually read any of the other installments.

I generally try to write primarily for myself and what I want to see in fics, so I think that's where I got a little overwhelmed was the feeling that I was disappointing people by not continuing the series, which is also where now the awkwardness comes from, of, "Well, it's been a while and now I have some more ideas..."

At any rate, I'm going to keep writing for myself. Whenever I do feel this way, the trick to get past it tends to be telling myself that I'll write it, I can just keep it in my drive if I feel like it. I never do, in the end, but it leverages away that sensation of feeling like I'm writing to other people's expectations rather than my own, ehehe.

Anyway, thank you again! <3 Very excited for digging open these character's headcases some more! >:)

[canisalbus]
