I love your art!!! But I always noticed something, how come you always draw shiro with the black and white hair style and never the fully white?
Ah, thank you, Nonny! And I actually did draw him with white hair a couple of times. But as canon went on, I didn't really like what it symbolized.
Because in order to get the white hair, he basically absorbed Kuron/Ryou, who was his own person. It felt wrong to me.
So, I draw him as the character I first fell in love with, S1-S2. Kuron/Ryou with the long hair/facial hair then different haircut and outfit is another character in my mind so I can separate the two.
On another note, the black hair in contrast to Allura's white hair lends to the yin yang of their designs, which I really like ^_^

do you have some favourite go-to recipes? i would love any of your recommendations!! xx
we eat the same few things on rotation in our house, as I do all the cooking, and I like a) one-pot meals, and b) pasta, preferably. most of these are fairly low effort but you get a lot of bang for your buck flavour-wise, and they're endlessly customisable!
also, listen, I don't do measurements. follow your heart and taste as you go.
the tiktok viral baked feta pasta from like 4 years ago
ingredients: plum or cherry tomatoes, a block of feta (or boursin if you're feeling flush), garlic, pasta
optional extras: spinach, cannellini beans, chili crisp
recipe: whack your tomatoes, sliced garlic, and olive oil in a big dish. nestle your feta in there. I like to add a tin of drained cannellini beans at this point to bulk it out/cut down on the pasta/make the texture confusing, but you don't have to. stick it in the oven at like 180-200C for half an hour ish. after half an hour boil your pasta. retrieve your oven dish, stir everything up to desired consistency (I'm a chunk girl). you can add spinach while you do this for extra greenery, or a massive spoonful of chili crisp for heat and crunch, but it's good on its own. add the pasta and some pasta water if you need. voila. you simply cannot go wrong.
gochujang and hummus pasta
ingredients: gochujang (this keeps forever in the fridge so it's a good kitchen investment), a tub of hummus, garlic, white onion, parm
optional extras: parsley
recipe: chop onion and garlic, sling them in a pan with butter and a splash of EVOO. when the onion is sufficiently sweaty and nice, add a dollop of gochujang (the bigger the dollop the spicier the end result) and stir it all in, followed by the whole tub of hummus. boil the pasta. add the cooked pasta to the pan, along with some pasta water, a shit load of grated parm, and garnish with parsley. my friend sent me a vegan version of this recipe about a year ago and I've made the non-vegan version roughly once a week since. it is so fucking delicious.
butter bean thing
ingredients: butter beans, garlic, red onion, tomato paste, cream/double cream/greek yog, lemon, sourdough/nice crusty bread
optional extras: parsley
recipe: throw chopped garlic and onion in a pan with butter and EVOO and really let them sweat it out. add tinned butter beans WITH THE JUICE. yes, I know. add in a few good squirty piles of tomato paste and stir, then let it all heat through. at this point start toasting your crusty bread of choice because I ALWAYS forget until the end and then I'm rushed. I recommend splurging for the good bread, slathered with melty butter. add whatever creamy thing you have to hand (the og recipe I saw said double cream, but I usually have greek yoghurt in and that does the job) to the beans, along with some lemon juice, garnish with parsley if you like and serve. use the bread as a giant spoon. you are welcome.
sausage soup/stew? casserole??
ingredients: celery, white onion, carrot, sausage/s, cherry tomatoes, tinned tomatoes, chicken broth, parm
optional extras: creamy thing of your choice, spinach, orzo
recipe: dice the celery, carrot and onion (mirepoix!), and throw it in a big big big pot with some EVOO. now: I get a pack of nice sausages and either mash or chop them depending on how much energy I have, but if you live somewhere with a butcher or whatever you can save your mashing arm and just get ground sausage. throw in the ground, mashed, or chopped sausage and cook for a bit. follow with a tin of chopped tomatoes and chicken broth. I usually put in about a litre. chop the cherry toms and toss them in. follow with a load of grated parm. if you have any parm rinds, throw em in and leave it to bubble away. this doesn't sound like much but it is so good. the longer you leave it the more flavourful it will be! towards the end I like to add in whatever creamy thing is in the fridge (double cream, greek yog, milk), along with lots of chopped spinach and a cup of orzo to really bulk it up. we can happily live on this for DAYS, especially if we have leftover fancy crusty bread from the gochujang pasta. oh and remember to take out the parm rind.
thai chicken curryish
ingredients: chicken (thigh/breast), garlic, ginger, yellow peppers, spring onion, cashew nuts, rice, coconut milk, chicken broth
optional extras: sriracha, coriander
recipe: I love this one cos it is SO quick and SOOOO easy. cut chicken into chunks and brown it in the pot. whip it back out and throw in the chopped garlic and ginger (I have a tube of ginger paste in the fridge cos WHO has the time?) with a big glug of EVOO, then a cup of rice. jasmine works, but I've also used risotto rice. toss in the chopped peppers, spring onion and cashew nuts (if I have the energy I'll chop the nuts, but you can put em in as-is), then add coconut milk (a tin's amount, be that an actual tin or some of the melted stuff that costs 1/4 of the price - thanks Asian supermarket!) and chicken broth. put the browned chicken back in, give it all a stir, cover it, and stick it in the oven for like 25ish mins. here’s the NYT recipe if you need liquid measurements/an actionable recipe that isn’t me riffing. (as always, 12ft.io/ in front of the address to bypass the paywall.) serve it with sriracha squirted all over it (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) and coriander if you like it.
delicious little rice waffle
ingredients: leftover jasmine rice, chili crisp, an egg, kewpie mayonnaise, sesame oil, spring onion, A WAFFLE MAKER
optional extras: furikake
recipe: full disclosure, you need a little waffle maker for this. mix the rice with chili crisp, a little sesame oil, and egg yolk. dollop it into the waffle maker and cook. garnish with kewpie mayo, sliced spring onion and some furikake if you have it, or just toasted sesame seeds if you have those, or neither! delicious little spicy umami snack, my beloved.
tuna melt of dreams
ingredients: you know what's in a tuna melt
recipe: swap the butter on the outside of the bread for kewpie mayonnaise and thank me later.
ADDENDUM: this goes without saying for me but sadly I know it does not for everybody: SEASON YOUR FOOD WITH SALT. IT WON'T MAKE YOUR FOOD SALTY IT WILL MAKE IT DELICIOUS. COOK YOUR PASTA IN SALT. WHEN IN DOUBT, ADD SOME SALT. THANK YOU.

50: do you plan or do you write whatever comes to your mind?
Hi thanks for the ask :3 from this ask game (Sorry I had to share your reblog of it because the source didn’t exist and I haven’t reblogged it myself yet)
I plan for the most part and have a storyline map drawn out for both TSATS and Ratts Race! Those are both full length novels so I feel planning is somewhat necessary for them…
I use sticky notes and write down main plot points and then I can stick them all down in my note book in an order that makes sense pacing wise, and move around the sticky notes if I feel like the pacing needs work or if I want to plan scenes in between ones I already have pasted down. Having a physical copy of it that I can mess with is easier for me than using google docs to make the outline.
For Hamster Story though its a little bit different because of the format its made in, being a CYOA after all so the long term planning is a little more tricky! I mostly plan chapter by chapter with some scenes planned ahead if it works with the poll options (like Hamster getting glasses was something I wanted to do from the start, and Soap Scrub becoming a model I really wanted that to happen.)

Have you ever watched the British kids show “grandpa in my pocket”
If not it’s about an old dude who has a magic flat cap and uses it to shrink and cause havoc everywhere he goes,, he just did whatever he wanted and only like 2 of his grandchildren knew he could shrink so he had to hide and he just,,, did stuff I guess,,, but I think that’s what caused my g/t obsession
I haven’t watched it but I do know about it :)) Its on the masterlist I made years ago but the list is out of date and I haven’t updated it yet. I’ll have to see if I can find it to watch some of it.

Miraculously, nope! And even when I did get a rare hate ask, I just delete it. I tag my art/posts specifically so folks who do not want to see that content can blacklist it (or they can just block me 🤷🏾♀️. It won’t hurt my feelings, trust me.)
And I’ve always headcanoned him as mlm (bi specifically), so not much really changed imo. I run by “If it’s not explicitly stated in the canon show, it’s free to interpretation.”
Again, folks can disagree with me, I don’t mind. Make the content you wanna see (nothing I make can nor will ever affect canon). But if you’re willing to pick a fight with me after all these years, you’re literally looking for something to piss you off. And that’s loser behavior 🤷🏾♀️
I’ll just mind my business in this corner with my blorbos lol 🩷🖤

Hamster is such a good SHAPE
The poofy hair and how she looks like she’d fit perfectly seated in a cupped hand.
Love. Love love love <3
Thank you soooo much!!!! Yes, thats exactly what I wanted when I designed her :)) she’s very hamster shaped, very sweet natured, very fluffy.
(Hamster is from this cyoa story)

Love that you looked at neo metal and were like:... would
Yeah...
Can you blame me though?
I'll be a bit serious right now, this is just for a bit of fun- GOD DAMN LOOK AT THAT
It's kinda funny because I'm supposed to be ace and while yes I don't really want to be doing that with anyone but I totally would bottom for neo
Again. Saying all of this is basically for fun because it'll never happen
Short answer: I would the robot
