6, 12, 30 for the writing asks ^_^

6. What’s the last line you wrote?

Shaking its head in what seems like disbelief before meeting his eyes again, almost like it wants to say something before it makes a noise like a growl, "oh, you're one of those seraphs, aren't you. A star-eater. No wonder you act like you've lost your mind."

(ignore that that's a couple sentences, the Thought is important)

12. Do you outline your fics?  If yes, how detailed are your outlines?  How far do you stray from them?

Oh yes! I outline my fics thoroughly. Though, I do allowed myself to deviate as much from the outline as I feel like when things go off the rails. Some snippets of planning from a couple fics & concepts:

My outlines are very... One for one. With some exceptions. I tend to basically write a very brief version of the fic and try to get the feelings and words right before I actually write it. This is... Also why it can and will take me a month to write a oneshot. I try to get things Right.

30. How much do you edit your fics?  Do you edit as you write or wait until you finish the first draft?

So! I edit them a bit? I edit while I work, but often I don't really touch anything I've already written unless it's something longer that might be taking a few months to get through. I think the fic I've edited the most is the prologue of Artificial Stars, which was originally a quickly written 2k oneshot into about 5k of actually decent fic.

Usually I don't edit to make something shorter/more concise, since I tend to only come up with more ways to bridge concepts when I go back to it. Also to be fair... There's usually no difference between first draft and final product. I cannot be asked to edit my fics after I write them, I just release them to the birds and pray for the best. (Unless I actually decide to show it to my beta reader in full instead of just sharing snippets as I... usually do.)

Conclusion: Rarely, those thangs are being given to the world as-is unless something is horrifically wrong with them

🦾 🔪 for Mapicc and Roshambo ^_^ (and Zam if you feel like answering it!)

HELLO YES !!!!!! JUMPING WITH JOY

🦾: A disability headcanon

OKAY so Mapicc has chronic pain (especially in his hands and shoulders) and also gets migraines often Roshambo and Zam both experience hallucinations but different kinds and to different effect (Zam mostly gets visual / olfactory hallucinations, Ro deals with mostly auditory / tactile hallucinations but occasionally gets visual ones in the form of Specifically little lights and shifting walls 👍 Zam's land much more firmly in being disabling than Ro's, since he's a lot more distressed by them and it impairs him more but they both have their moments) I should have more but I'm forgetting . What counts. I write all these guys as disabled purely because I don't know what Not being disabled is like 👍

🔪: A headcanon relating to fighting/violence

OUGH. ok how many times have I said that Mapicc fights like a dog to me? Meanwhile Ro can't fight to save his life (literally just canon) but I think he's better when it comes to things that require a lot more planning, he can kind of orchestrate a fight better than he can fight himself, though. He has his specialties. And for Zam, I just. He can and will go into a losing fight and not care for the real consequence. Fighting headcanons... All I can think of is Canon fighting ok,,

💫📷☀️ ^_^

AWWWW HELLO !!! hello i am like. youre being picked up and put into my pocket as a sign of friendship here . i dont have the energy for art right now but silly drawing of lavius picking you up here !

[pyrriax]

5, 9, 14 :3

ask game!

5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself

Honestly i post almost everything? like with a few exceptions usually i'm drawing for responses to asks or with the intent of sharing ^_^ i don't draw a whole lot... its probably like. 95% posted 5% not? and the 5% is mostly just things i don't Want to post (usually cuz theyre personal)

9. What are your file name conventions

OH this is a fun one! sneak peek into my art folder for this year...

basically: numbers to keep them in creation order (since i don't really. Draw a lot. i can get away with it) and then some kind of note of contents since there aren't image previews for CSP files

BUT for things like my little sketches i do for asks and other such, those get. whatever the hell goes through my head for a title (i fear no gods sharing my files here these are basically all things i've Posted here before) usually its related to the art but also sometimes i just. put lyrics

14. Any favorite motifs

honestly its basically the same as my writing! a lot of weird gore & bugs ^_^ i actually draw a lot of parasites & stuff but i dont think i share most of that, lol

[pyrriax]

roshambo for the blorbo bingo thingy

HELLO I FORGOT TO POST THIS

[pyrriax]

SORRY PYRR PYRRIAX i misclicked in the previous ask and was then suddenly called away!! (If that ask wasn’t sent don’t mind this)

I was just gonna say I hope you are having a good day ^_^ and I am a little curious how did you come up with your own neo pronouns? Do they have special meanings? And how do you pronounce them? I don’t know if you had answered this before :3

hello!! it's okay, i saw both at the same time ^_^

and thank you! i am having a good day, and i appreciate you asking! i haven't been asked this before, so thank you! :D

the main ones that are my own creation (as i just realized i had another set listed, the curse of being a system, somebody added that and i never caught it, lol) are onei/oneir!

i mostly came up with them because i felt like i wanted something a little more personal to me, while still falling under the broad category of being somewhat related to something (in this case, dreams/dreaming)!

the full set, onei/oneir/oneirs/oneirs/oneiroself , better shows the origin, as i played off the s in self taking the place of the s in oneiros!

and generally, for pronouncing them, i'd kind of just say something like oh-nei / oh-neir, kind of almost an ay sound at the end, really! i haven't had to write down how i say them before so forgive me if this is a little nonsensical

12 and 14 for the ask game!

ask game!

12. What WIPs do you have going now? Are you excited about them?

[cracks my knuckles] ALRIGHT so, the list goes as follows:

Anhedonia (AU title, current fic's title is Artificial Stars) is my Cyberpunk AU which has accidentally gone from a Clownzy-centric thing to being MOB to being Team Awesome-centric. There are so many threads and I want to follow all of them. I do not have that kind of time. I think about it a lot anyways.

"It looks just like a dream" is a fic set in the crossroads between two AUs (Seraphim & Centurion), and is my first properly written Roshambo-centric fic.... It's going somewhere. It's four chapters and intended to be done.... Uhhhhhh...... First chapter should be done by the 27th. I make no promises for any other part I just have a deadline for that part in particular. It's difficult to explain it but it's basically a mishmash of so many themes and concepts that I love (along with bringing to light one of my favorite interpretations of several characters. If you want me to elaborate lmk! I could talk endlessly about both AUs)

Aaaand there's Metamorphosis. Which is a vague prequel to Asomatous which I really hope I'll get done soon but also it's a five-part journey through hell.

(This doesn't even count the dozen oneshots I'm chipping away at to fill the space while I work on these larger projects, since I have a goal of posting something every month, whether it's a chapter of a bigger project or a oneshot, just- something.)

But! Overall! I'm very excited for all of these, though I do dread "It looks just like a dream" a bit since it'll be a high-effort low-reward type of fic, just in its nature. I tend to not work on projects unless I'm excited to be working on them, which is part of why I jump between a selection of projects and follow the muse ^_^

14. Would you want to write canon for any of your fandoms (like be hired by showrunner to do an episode)? Which one?

Absolutely not! ^_^ Honestly I prefer sticking to my weird AU not-quite-canon-adjacent hell. It's just my nature, I guess!
