(bruhstation) hey neil! thank you very much for supporting fortezza bigg city so far :] I really appreciate the thought you've put into analyzing bits of my silly little AU, and I've also gained a huge appreciation for your own works as well. it's so clear you've put a lot of thought and research into your AU and it really blew my mind because everything is so meticulously thought out!!! and I'm looking forward to more!!! here's a quick sketch of your gal zaffre! once again thanks :3 (also you're inspiring me to make my own z-stacks oc! haha)

OHHH MY GOD LOOK AT HER MY BABY GIRL MY SWEET CHEESE SHE LOOKS AMAZING AHHH YOUR ART IS SO GOOD I LOVE YOUR FORM AND VOLUME AND HOW YOU DO YOUR LINE WEIGHT WITH THE OPACITY AND LINE DYNAMICS your handle on anatomy and rendering is really interesting to me, reading you work in Fire Alpaca with a mouse is mind boggling to me, i remember when I was doing the same years and years ago and the skill you show is really fascinating and i am jealous, the way your art is put together is scratching my brain. i have been doing art studies of it and trying to dissect it, it'd have such a interesting feel for animation, you have a wonderful style for breaking down into a limited animation style with a emphasis on dynamics with animation in a 8s, 6s, and 4s with 2s detailing and a hard tweening style [<- just professional animator things lol] The way you render shadow and lighting is also ough. This Zaffre is genuinely so wonderful, new desk top background moments. I love her gesture and expression here, it really captures her as a character! Also the way you draw hands, augh, just augh I wish.

You, my friend, are a fabulous illustrator!

And oh my god your AU is scratching my brain in ways I didn't think possible! I know so little yet there is so much there. When I genuinely say that it is affecting me as much as if not more that @askthefamous8 that is the highest compliment I can muster [that AU has been one of my special interests since 2015,]. I am legit making a post it note wall over FBC just like ATF8 had when I was in middle/high school

You have the most loyal human AU fan on your team now, I genuinely smile thinking about Fortezza Bigg City all day long, my friends and partner are getting annoyed to death from me ranting. sorry dear if you are reading this: I know you hate tugs

Also thank you! I really love doing in depth research, its the autism at work. I am a proud vehicle autistic. I've said it before but working on a ship for a summer just to know the mechanics of how actual sailing works is probably the most unhinged thing I can say I've done for accuracy sake. Loved my Captain and fellow crew, very sad I got sick and had to leave. Honestly would love to be a sailor if my heath wasn't bungled up and I wasn't like $200k of debt in animation college.

My humanoid vehicle AU's are partially based on my sadly never going to be picked up pitch bible for a science fiction based historical vehicle show [my fatal flaw is niche interests] And it literally makes my day to sit down and work on the most expansive and historically researched BS on earth, my AU is both a lovely love letter to TUGS as the show it is and a Love Letter to what TUGS wanted to be! At the end of the day TUGS wanted to be it's days Steven Universe or MASH [something I am gonna elaborate in another format later] but unfortunately it just didn't have the right ingredients. Its the Same as the TUGS musical I'm working on, it's a love letter to what TUGS both is and was supposed to be along with being a love letter to the characters themselves

for the ask game: 2, 10, 34! (this is irisfixation btw, i'm just doing anon so i don't message from my main)

hi @irisfixation :)! no problemo, i gotcha!

2. Describe your first experience with hypnosis.

ooh... i kind of am split about what counts as my first! i think i generally like self-hypnosis so i'll talk about that. i remember being like REALLY interested in hypnosis while growing up and like many nerdy, kinky people, i also spent a lot of time in the library. i think i must have been around 13 when i was trying self-hypnosis--it was some book that was generally just about self-hypnosis for self-improvement--but i remember getting really relaxed and finally pushing past that "ooh, am i hypnotized yet?" voice in my head! it was a very brief trance honestly, i probably was not in it for more than a couple minutes or so because i was a very self-conscious teenager, but the kind of floaty, relaxed, and mellow feeling that i got from it are still my reference point for trances today!

10. Are you a difficult subject?

literally not at all LOL my favorite kinky stuff to do of all time is roleplay and to some degree, you train yourself to be hypnotized by roleplaying until you get it!

as i mentioned i also really like self-hypnosis so even if the other person hasn't totally nailed down their hypnotic skills, i can kind of nudge myself along the path!

(btw open invitation to come practice your hypnosis skills with me <3)

34. What’s one fictional character you’ve fantasised about hypnotising/being hypnotised by?

GOD UMMMM haha! i will talk about both sides because i think that's kind of fun.

as far as fantasizing about hypnotizing someone... well so much of it has to do with the voice. like you know some people are into the eyefluttering or eye rolls, which is like also hot, don't get me wrong!!! i like that too! but if someone has a really good voice... and you can imagine them repeating after what you say in that sleepy hypnotized voice people get... AUGH (///) it's so. i can't even describe properly. it's like the hottest thing in the world to have a good voice. so if a character has what i consider a good voice for hypnosis, it's more fun to fantasize about that.

being hypnotized by a character. oh my god. there's this scene in t@karazuka's production of elisabeth where der tod is kind of like leading the dance in the song "the shadows grow longer" and it's like. EEK. i kind of just have to put the video in here so you understand, but der tod is like manipulating rudolf and it's like. hot. how do i describe how hot i find m1zu's performance of this character... girl she is IN my fantasies. she is a regular player in them. there are for sure other characters i have thought about but like the helplessness in this scene. OUGH

[masked-and-doomed]

Augh I am not knowledgeable enough on this and I do not have the energy to see more of it but I am still thinking of it <- the morality and ethics of fiction and things like that and also how much of the author's views are affecting it

Quick example here: light from DN, most people tend to assume he's misogynistic, because the author unintentionally wrote his views onto Light's character. Of course, it is in a way where it does seem to be fair to have that negative trait onto Light, but in his other works that sexism is toned a bit higher and clearer to see.

So, that asks the question of many other works of art. At what point is it part the story, the themes, the character, and at what point is it the creator of their work, intentionally or unintentionally having their views baked into it.

Of course, I feel, it is maybe inevitable some of one's thoughts on matters are worked into their craft. It is your art, it will have your touch on it, whether you see it or not.

Wauhh there's so much to this. I am. Ough.

This of course eventually goes into rougher territory, does this person actually think this [horrible action] is acceptable, or justifiable? Or should we give the benefit of the doubt that it's meant to be in the realm of fiction that was meant for pondering, evoke emotions and connections to these characters.

What is romanticising/glorifying, truly? Though I suspect it may come to a 'case by case' sort of thing.

What is simply one's fantasies, of which, may be illegal to do so in real life, but they are fully aware of such. They still wish to engage in pleasure, though within the realm of fiction rather than reality so they do not actually harm others.
