______________________________________________________________
TWIN RUNES - FAQ
What exactly is this AU about? Twin Runes is essentially a comedic crossover AU between the universes of Deltarune and Undertale. No fancy nicnacs. Just the characters being their chaotic selves. But there might be some darkness lurking up ahead...
When is the next comic? The comic updates most Sundays at 6:30 PM Central European Time.
Why is this AU called Twin Runes? The name is more or less a play on the typical naming format of most AU's by featuring the "Runes" part. There are no literal Twin Runes. The whole name is more of a stand in for Undertale and Deltarune as parallel worlds. Hence the "Twin" part.
When does Twin Runes take place? This AU takes place between a hypothetical Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of Deltarune. On the Undertale side of things, it takes place post neutral route just as Frisk was about to deliver Undyne's letter to Alphys.
Tumblr media
Is the player a thing in this AU? The player lost control over both human children as soon as Frisk entered the world of Deltarune.
When Chapter 3 and 4 are released, will it affect the story? Any chapters after Chapter 3 won't affect the story in the grand scheme of things. If possible, I might make a reference to Chapter 3, but all in all Twin Runes created a new timeline so to speak.
What's up with Kris' and Frisk's hair? The red bits of their hair is more or less a representation of their souls. That in turn is also why Chara doesn't have that feature. They are soulless. It's a stylistic choice.
What's that thing on Kris' chest? It's a scar they got from tearing out their soul.
Tumblr media
And why do they have weird lines all over their body? Both Kris and Frisk's anatomy resemble that of ball-jointed dolls. They appear just as markings across their bodies. Think of them as elaborate birthmarks. Kris and Frisk are still made of flesh and blood, but are in fact hypermobile. The reason as to why they do is still a little secret :) People here like to refer to these markings as "puppet limbs". You can get a better look at them and the scar in this artwork
Tumblr media
Why does Kris have braces? This is why:
Why is Dark World Frisk green? Frisk changes their main sweater colors with Kris when they enter the Dark World.
Tumblr media
Can other ghosts see Chara? (pre Darkner transformation) No, only Frisk and Kris are able to see Chara.
IS KRIS NOW FRISK'S COUNTERPART OR CHARA'S???? :)
So, was Chara in the locket all along? No, in that moment Chara possessed the locket to become a Darkner.
Tumblr media
Where are Jevil and Spamton? Are they in Castle Town? The Fun Gang have already fought these two in the previous chapters and added them into their inventory. Outside of that little dream sequence, neither will be making an appearance.
Is anyone from Undertale Yellow gonna make an apperance? Outside of a tiny cameo from Clover (that has no greater bearing on the story) no one from Undertale Yellow is going to make an appearance.
Is (insert character here) gonna go to the Dark World/underground? With the way the story is going to play out, only the main group will be heading to this new Dark World. The rest of the story will be taking place there.
Is the Group Project miniseries canon to Twin Runes? It was made before Twin Runes was conceived and before I had any idea I would make a series. It is it's own self-contained story. So it is NOT canon to Twin Runes, but You can read it here: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6
How did you come up with the idea of Twin Runes? Twin Runes is an offshoot of a separate script I wrote. It's a similar concept but turned on its head. The funny moments in that script made me just continue what now is the start of Twin Runes. I pretty much just wanted to see if I am actually capable of drawing a comic to begin with. So... in a way Twin Runes is my first attempt at a comic ever. If I ever finish Twin Runes, then I know I can tackle turning that mammoth project of a script into a comic too. In the grand scheme of things these two projects are sister series. They have A LOT in common and even share similar plot elements. When Twin Runes is over you will automatically also know certain mysteries of The Other Script.
What is The Other Script? As of this moment I call The Other Script: "Lost in the In-Between". At its core it's an inverse of Twin Runes. I.e. Kris falling into the underground and being aided by Frisk on their quest to return home. The story and jokes are a considerably more grounded than in Twin Runes and so are the characters. Though they do have their moments from time to time. The overall mood of that script is a lot darker in nature and it's a 200+ page passion project of mine.
Am I allowed to make fanart? ABSOLUTELY! You are very welcome to make fanart if you feel like it. Please let me know if you do by tagging me, so I can share it with everyone to see so that you get the appreciation you deserve :)
Can I use the funny faces you draw for memes or for private stuff with friends? That's what they're here for :)
Is there x ship in this comic? The focus of the story is not on shipping. If it's in the game it will very likely be mentioned or brought up, but that's about it.
What pronouns do you go with for the human children? I try to stick as close as possible to the games so I use THEY/THEM FOR ALL OF THEM WITHOUT ANY EXCEPTIONS.
______________________________________________________________
ABOUT ASKS
Asks will open for 24 hours after a new comic has been released. Your questions will then be answered over the course of the week.
Try not to submit multiple asks. If necessary, just keep everything in one post.
Keep in mind that I receive AL LOT of asks, so not every question can be answered...
Questions containing spoilers will not be answered on principle. Wouldn't be as fun if the surprise was ruined, right?
Before leaving an ask (mostly for everyone who's new), please make sure to read the FAQ section above. A lot of times your question might have been answered already :>
I love memes and dumb jokes as much as the next guy, but try not to spam
It probably goes without saying, but please stay civil. I want to give everyone the respect they deserve, and naturally like to be treated the same way.
Please be mindful about drawing requests. It is understandable if you're eager to see a certain character drawn in my style, but I do not like to be bombarded by requests. The more it happens, the less likely I am to do it. Be kind and ask nicely.
Don't use other people's posts that I reblogged to ask me questions! It has happened before and I do not wish to see this!
______________________________________________________________
REFERENCE SHEETS
The following are ref sheets of characters that don't have established Dark World forms yet (as of writing this comic). The list will be updated as soon as a new character enters the Dark World. Here you will also find references of characters that might appear as surprise cameos, or maybe even completely new faces...

-FAQ-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hello! I've gained a whole bunch of followers lately and I've been getting a lot of questions about what my setup is, what brushes I use, what my process is like, etc, so I thought I'd make a post about it to answer everyone's questions at once !
Putting them under the cut <3
How long have I been doing digital art:
I've been drawing digitally for about 5 years now i think? But before that I've been drawing and painting traditionally literally since the moment I could pick up a pencil.
Set-up:
It's just me and my ipad and apple pencil laying on my bed. I wouldn't even know where to begin for those whole multi-monitor/screen setups ;-; I draw only with Procreate
Brushes:
I've put the ones I use most in the first image! I tend to play with different brushes from time to time to get different textures, but generally i use the same few for most of my drawings/styles. My favorite one is the Peppermint Brush, for sketching. I use it in every drawing i make! I always sketch with it, and often do the line-art with it as well! And it makes for a nice textured brush for rendering as well! (i used it for a lot of rendering of the armor in this drawing)
The brushes in the image above are:
medieval style: inking - Ink Bleed (for line-art) artistic - Quoll (for coloring)
general style: calligraphy - Chalk (coloring/rendering) sketching - Peppermint (line-art/sketching)
realism: calligraphy - Shale Brush (full rendering) Also using the shale brush for smudging and erasing when drawing realistic
How/why do you choose a base color:
I tend to look at a few different things when deciding on a base color/color palette.
the overall color of the reference pic
the color i associate with who or what i am drawing
the feeling/vibe i want to give off with that drawing
color has a BIG impact on the vibe of a drawing, so it is something i keep in mind when im drawing.
Using a color as a base to start, helps a lot with my drawing process. It helps me pick out other colors so they match better. It helps me get light/dark values right. And the chalk brush i use, has gaps between the strokes, so the base color will always come through a little. Having the same color come through in the entire drawing, helps pull all the colors together if that makes sense? I always start with a solid base color when i am painting traditionally as well!
Advice:
PRACTICE!!! just keep drawing and practice. I know this is such generic advice but truly practice is The Way. Learn from other artists but don't compare yourself to them. Everyone's artistic journey is different and there's no "good" or "bad". And most importantly make sure that you have fun when you're making stuff :3

✨YAMUJIBURO F.A.Q.✨
Should've made this a while ago! I'm starting to get a lot of the same questions in my inbox nowadays tho and I feel bad for clogging up y'all's timelines with the same questions haha
GENERAL QUESTIONS
Who are you?
I'm Kiana, I'm a queer, Japanese Jamaican woman, and a Director/Storyboard artist at Disney Television Animation.
What are your pronouns
I usually go by she/her but I don't really mind any pronouns~
Where did you go to school?
California College of the Arts (but I dropped out when I was hired at Disney)
How did you get hired at Disney?
My bosses found me on twitter through my Team Rocket fanart. They liked my drawing style and asked if I wanted to take a storyboard test. I did, I passed, I got interviewed and moved to LA two weeks later to start storyboarding.
Is this a repost blog??
No, you might know be better as @kianamaiart. This is just my Pokémon sideblog where I post exclusively (for the most part) Team Rocket and Pokémon art.
What does your username mean?
It's a combination of the main 4 Team Rocket members' Japanese names: Yamato (cassidy), Musashi (jessie), Kojiro (james), Kosaburo (butch)
What program and brush do you use to draw?
Default brush in Storyboard pro
**************************************
GENERAL POKEMON QUESTIONS
Who's your favorite Pokémon?
What are your favorite ships?
Any ship with Jessie. Yamushipping, Rocketshipping and Hanamusashipping are my top three!
Who do you ship Ash with?
I was a big Pokéshipper when I was younger but nowadays don't really feel strongly about any of the ships involving the kid characters. I'm also in the "Ash is aroace" camp.
Do you have any trans headcanons?
You can find em here along with other headcanons! It should be noted that I don't usually marry myself to one hc (unless it's for a specific AU I'm trying to build out) and love seeing various interpretations of a character! Trans woman Jessie, Trans woman James, Trans man James, Genderfluid Jessie, give em to me!
Do you play the games?
I've played all the mainline Pokémon games and very much enjoy them! But I am much more invested in the anime and the characters in the anime.
**************************************
HANAMUSA AU QUESTIONS
Where can I read all the comics in order?
Here! I update anytime I make a new comic and list them in chronological order (since I just draw comics at random points in the timeline as they interest me). This post also already answers some of the frequently asked questions about this AU like: How did Jessie and Delia meet? What are James and Meowth up to? How old are Jessie and Delia? etc.
What does "Hanamusa" mean?
Hanamusa is a combination of Delia and Jessie's Japanese names, Hanako and Musashi respectively.
When does this AU take place?
It takes place sometime after the Mezase Pokémon Master/To Be a Pokémon Master series. So all the events that happened in the series, unless retconned within the series, happened. Ash is 10 at the start of the comics.
What's the status between Jessie, James, Meowth and Giovanni/Team Rocket?
Not great terms since they were fired, but also not the worst terms. Giovanni just let the three of them go without any further issues. I will say that I've always loved the theory that Giovanni keeps Jessie specifically around because of her parentage and he as a soft spot for her that he keeps a secret. I feel like Matori was the one that got the three of them fired and Giovanni wasn't able to make an excuse for them this time (without showing nepotism/special treatment) so he was forced to let them go.
If you headcanon Delia as a lesbian, how did Ash come to be?
Delia was young when she had Ash and I hc that she just didn’t really explore her sexuality much! I myself didn’t realized I liked women until I was 18 and didn’t know I liked ONLY women until like 2 years ago. She got married, had a baby and realized after her husband left that she liked women (trans people exist obviously but I’m also interpreting Ash’s father as a cis man).
Who do you think Ash’s dad is?
I don’t know and I don’t really care to explore it. I’m going off of the novel interpretation that he’s just a deadbeat that left to be a trainer, failed and never came back because of the shame. He’s not important.
Isn’t Giovanni Ash’s dad?
That’s a common misconception that people remember wrong from the Pokémon Live show. Delia mentions she dated Giovanni but then left him and his gang after meeting Ash’s father. I also don’t consider the live show canon personally! I follow The Birth of Mewtwo timeline where Madame Boss founded Team Rocket.
Do you think Delia and Giovanni dated at least?
Nah, I think he’s too old for her? I always got the vibe from The Birth of Mewtwo that he was quite a bit older than Jessie and it’d be sus if he was dating Delia when she was married to, and had a child with her husband at 18/19. He’s a bad guy but not a BAD guy.
You mentioned you still ship Jessie and James. Why not make a Jessie, James, Delia polycule?
I have a few reasons I’ve mentioned before! 1. I’m in super deep with this AU already and I feel it’d be very confusing for casual viewers of my stuff if James was added into the relationship haha. 2. I’ve drawn Jessie and James together since 2011 and took this AU as an opportunity to try my hand at writing them as queer, platonic besties bc I love that interpretation of them a lot as well. 3. I’m not poly myself and the way I write this ship is largely based off of my experiences with my girlfriend. I just know I’d favor the Jessie/Delia of it all which isn’t fair and not a good interpretation of a poly relationship. All that said, I DO super enjoy seeing peoples’ poly headcanons and art!
Who does James end up with in this AU?
No one. He's aroace and is happy to be single
Do Jessie and James have all their Pokémon in this AU
I think they have all the Pokémon that they did by the end of Mezase Pokémon Master (all their Pokémon that were left at HQ). Most of their released Pokémon have stayed released and the Alola Pokémon are still in Alola. I bring back Arbok and Weezing post-Jessie and Delia getting married. I may bring back Chimecho, Growlie and Cacnea if I think of an idea I like!
What are Meowth and James up to in this AU?
Hop back to the top of this post under the "Where to Start" section. All your questions will be answered.
Does Ash travel with anyone at this point of his life?
I don't have anyone in particular in mind! I could see him making new friends (Nemona???) or traveling with different combinations of old friends. Like him, Misty and Goh, him, Dawn and Cilan, him, Serena and Lillie etc.
Will Delia ever get over her phobia of snake Pokémon
Not fully! I think overcoming fears is fine and good but I think real PHOBIAS are much harder to get past and I don't want to cheapen it. She slowly gets used to Jessie's Seviper specifically and gets to the point where she can pet it comfortably with Jessie in the room. But otherwise, still scared and would need that same amount of time per Pokémon
Is Jessie gaining weight or is it just me?
Not just you! Jessie puts on a bit of relationship weight overtime as you'll see in the later comics in the timeline. Jessie grew in poverty, never knowing when her next meal would be and that continued into her life as a Team Rocket member. Once she was able to settle down (with a woman who runs her own restaurant no less) she's able to live a healthier lifestyle with regular meals and puts on some weight because of that.
Does Jessie ever feel self conscious about gaining weight?
Nope! She feels happier and healthier and hotter. She's also unreasonably excited to clear out her old clothes and get a new wardrobe.
Would Jessie and Delia ever have kids together or adopt?
Nah, Ash is enough for them! I have come up with hypothetical kids for them but they're not canon to this AU. Just a fun little thing for me.
Will you ever put this on webtoon?
Nah. People mostly ask me this because they want to read everything in the order of the timeline but to my knowledge, you can’t reorder chapters or installments which would defeat the purpose. I also don’t think nintendo fan stuff would fly there. Also, also it’s just extra work and another place to upload and I want to keep this all fun for myself~

bbybluemochi's F.A.Q. ✧・゚
Hi! Arun here! I thought that instead of answering your submissions one by one I’d gather all the frequently asked questions and answer them in a single post (this is a mix of art/OC/commissions related q's)!
Please note that I do read all your messages and I’m so grateful for every one of them!!!! I keep all your words really close to my heart, thank you for liking my art and loving my Ocs as much as I do, it means the world to me <3
What’s the name of your OCs?
They’re called Cotton (the blonde one) and Puppy (the dark haired one). The original idea for them was to make some silly wolf/bunny OCs (that’s why Cotton is called like that, it was supposed to be a joke about her tail…) but somewhere along the way they took over and became something completely different!
Is there a webcomic for your OCs?
Not currently! I don’t have the time or the skills (for now) but I’d love to give it a try in the future! 
I was wondering if you mind people using your OC art as character art/inspiration for DnD?Just games with friends that are for fun, nothing for commercial.
Go ahead! I find that really flattering.
Just out of curiosity, are any of your OCs bisexual?
Both Cotton and Puppy are lesbians. That’s what I feel comfortable drawing since I’m a lesbian myself. If I ever do draw a bisexual OC I’ll make sure to mention it! <3
I think you said Cotton was a dominatrix in a previous ask, but is Puppy on the opposite side of the spectrum or is she just glad to be there whichever way?
Puppy is very much a sub. They both switch (Puppy as a service top and bottom and Cotton as a top and power bottom), but the dom/sub dynamic never changes. Also I wanted to mention that these dynamics do not transcend outside of the bedroom that much, there’s more to them than their kinks but I do love to draw them deep in their submissive/dominant headspaces. 
Are one of the lesbian fairytale characters trans?
I didn’t design either of them with that in mind, but I’m super OK with people headcanoning them as trans!
May I use your art as a header/icon?
Of course! Remember to credit me tho~
Do you allow people to use your art freely?
I don’t allow reposts of my work (not that it matters that much, since almost all my art has been already reposted a million times ))): but I’d really appreciate it if you just shared my posts instead of reposting my art). As for phone backgrounds/wallpapers or stuff like that, yeah!
Do you have an instagram account or other social media, I would love to follow you there.
My main platform is twitter (same @), I post all my drawings there and I’m usually more active over there. Tumblr is kind of like an archive. I really like the community here but I find it easier to reply/interact with people on twitter! As for instagram, I do have an old art account (same @, again) but I haven’t posted in so long. I may start posting there soon if a certain rich guy decides to keep destroying the bird app tho. 
I’ve always thought about this… how do you think it’d look if the aesthetics/styles [of your OCs] were reversed?
I’ll have to explore that in a future drawing, I haven’t thought much about it! 
Do you write fics for your characters or has anyone else written fics about them?
Not yet! A couple of my friends have offered, tho! I usually like to stick to drawing because that’s what I do best, I don’t wanna subject anyone to my writing (it’s not very good,,,,). When I share some of my Ocs stories, I think it will be in comic format. 
What's the story behind your OCs? 
There are several, actually!! I like to put my OCs in different universes. As for now, there’s the Fairytale AU, the modern setting AU (this is the original one), and now the Werewolf/Vampire AU. I also did a drawing of them as spiderwoman and black cat but I don’t think that AU is gonna make a comeback for a while. I’m also planning a scifi AU but I’m not sure I’d be able to pull off that aesthetic with my current art style so I’m still working on it. 
The Fairytale AU is the one I’m working on most of the time. I wanna release a small artbook with their story + illustrations. That was my main goal for 2023 but life got in the way, so maybe,,, 2024??? *crosses fingers* 
Is your shop down? It’s saying that it’s not available.
I open my shop for 1-2 weeks every now and then, that’s why it’s closed most of the time! My plan is to open the store again in september, if i manage to finish all the merch in time! I’ll announce it on my twitter and tumblr account when I do. 
Would you ever share a tutorial on how you make your art?
Yes, of course! I’m not very good at explaining my drawing process but If it helps anyone I’d love to! Just let me know what part of the drawing process you’d like me to focus on, because If i try to make a full illustration tutorial it’s gonna be too long/difficult to follow. 
May I ask what brush do you use for your lineart?
I use a different brush almost every time I start an illustration, I’m not very consistent when it comes to that (I think it’s mainly because I haven’t found the perfect brush yet!). But let me know what illustration you’re curious about and I’ll try to remember which one I used!
Do you come up with poses off the top of your head or do you use some type of reference? I always struggle with them.
It depends on what I’m drawing! Some of my drawings are reinterpretations of paintings (I’m obsessed with pre-raphaelite painters and arthurian legend paintings in general), so in those cases I try to adapt the poses to my art style. Even If I’m trying to recreate an already existing painting I end up changing the poses/proportions a lot along the way to fit my personal taste/art style. 
Other times, I just sketch from imagination (this is more entertaining, I think, since looking at references can make the drawing process a bit tedious). If I find it hard to draw a certain pose/part of the body I will look up references on printerest, no shame in using pictures! If I still can’t find the pose I need I’ll just take a picture of myself (this is like, a last resort for me. I’m too lazy for this). 
My personal advice would be to use references for the pose and then tweaking the pose and trying to make it more personal 
I love the way the armor was designed and rendered! Can you share some tips on designing armor? 
Drawing armor is something I still struggle with most of the time. I think I’ve learned a lot in the past year (please don’t look at my armor drawings from 2022,,,,, sigh) but I still struggle to draw certain poses/angles. My advice is: don’t hesitate to draw non-functional armor!!! There’s always gonna be someone like “actually, that armour makes no sense :)” well !!!! it looks cool as hell so who caresssss !!!!! 
I think it’s more important for you to get comfortable drawing armor before you start beating yourself up for not drawing accurate ones. It takes a lot of practice (I’m still learning!!!), especially if you’re trying to draw historically accurate ones, so start by having fun, and then work your way up from there.
Most of the tips I can think about are really hard to explain without a visual example, so let me know if that’d be a tutorial you would be interested in and I’ll try to make one (I’m cringing a little just saying this bc I swear, my armor skills are so bad compared to some amazing artists out there………..).
Do you allow cosplays your OCs?
YES…. YES PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM BEGGING YOUUU ILL LOVE YOU FOREVER !!!!!! *rattles my cage* 
Do you allow fanart of your OCs?
Again,,, PLEASEEEEEEEEE !!! Just tag me so I don’t miss it and remember to give me credits if you do !!!!!!!!!!! :D
I was wondering if you use procreate , clip studio, or similar apps?
A mix of both. I used to draw on procreate only until I got a tablet and now I’m a clip studio user (csp sponsor me please), and now that’s all I use. I’m so used to drawing on PC now that I don’t think I’d be able to go back to procreate, but I still like that app a lot! All my drawings (even the ones I do on csp) always get retouched on procreate because I like some of the effects (*dreamy sigh* chromatic aberration filter,,, love u). 
I wanted to know if the marks Cotton has on her waist are tattoos or like a scar? 
Those are tats! Puppy is a tattoo artist ~~~ (I’m actually not sure if i’ll keep the waist tats on Cotton or if I’ll end up redesigning them,,,)
I was wondering if you take commissions?
Not right now. I also don’t have any plans of opening commissions any time soon! When I do, I’ll post a google forms on twitter and here on tumblr with the prices and type of comms I do. But there’s nothing scheduled. 
Even tho I'm not doing commissions atm, I’m currently looking for illustration jobs (specially book covers), so don’t hesitate to email me at [email protected]
That's all for now, thank you for reading!! I think I covered most of the questions, I'll make another q&a post in the future! Bye~~

What is whump?
I get asked this question a lot so I figured I'd just make a post about it! I doubt a lot of people will see this since I'm a small whump blog but at least a few people will have a quick reference.
The short answer is that whump is a fictional genre of media. Like any genre, it's difficult for one person to entirely characterise but I'll do my best.
Whump is a fictional genre focused on the experience of pain. This can be physical pain or emotional pain. The pain could be acute or chronic. The focus could be on the recovery from the pain or on the pain itself. It's a super versatile genre!
Some frequently asked questions:
Okay, but how is this different from hurt/comfort?
This is a complicated question (hard to entirely characterise an entire genre, eh?) and it really depends on the writer. For me, hurt/comfort is a subset of whump where the comfort is required whilst whump is the larger, overarching genre where comfort is not an absolute necessity, but many others have different opinions!
What is a whumpee?
You'll often hear writers (especially prompt writers) in the whump community refer to characters as 'whumpee', 'whumper', and 'caretaker'. These are placeholder names like your good old A, B, and C. 'Whumpee' refers to the character experiencing the pain (literally 'the one being whumped'); 'whumper' is the (optional) character causing or contributing to the pain; and 'caretaker' is the (also optional) character helping care for the whumpee and alleviating the pain.
Why would I support someone who thinks people should experience pain?
Pain and adversity are facts of life. In fact, many of us as whump writers and readers engage with the genre to cope with pain and adversity in our real lives. It's important to remember that whump is a fictional genre and someone's interest in the fictional themes portrayed really aren't a reflection of what goes on in their real life. The name 'whump' may be contemporary but this is definitely not a contemporary genre (Shakespearean tragedies anyone?) so there is no use criticising its existence. If you don't like it, that's okay! Scroll on by and block the #whump tag if you need to. Like many artists, we're an accepting community and won't judge. In fact, we probably understand better than most that there is too much pain in the world and not everyone wants to read about more of it.
What's the difference between whump and BSDM/kink?
This is a complicated and very individualised answer. The oversimplified answer is that BDSM and kink are explicitly sexual/sensual whilst whump is not necessarily related to sex. But that is extremely oversimplified and doesn't cover all or even most people's experiences with either whump or BDSM/kink. The most generalised answer I can give is that whump is an overarching genre whilst BDSM and kink are individualised cultural practices and activites. But even that needs nuance and context to understand and apply. For me personally, I don't like combining the two because I experience them in very different ways, but that's just my experience!
Edit: I realise that I was not clear in the above answer. BDSM and kink are absolutely not inherently sexual at all. In my personal experience, I've found there to be a lot more overlap between BDSM/kink and sexual experiences than with whump but this is not true for many and maybe most people. No one person is qualified to answer this question.

I am making this for my new pinned post, and answer some questions that I seem to get asked all the time!
First off, what makes me nerdy? I get this one a whole lot! I honestly guess it depends on what you consider nerdy! Some nerd things I enjoy are Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Harry Potter, & Star Wars. Video games, I usually like my classic games on the 64, but I also have been super into Uncharted and The Last of Us lately! I’m a huge book nerd as well and other stuff I’m sure but that’s all I can think of now!
Second question that I probably get asked the most is to share pictures of my nipples or nudes in general. No… the answer is no!
If you want me to follow you just comment on here or send an ask about it! Might seem obvious but I have to say that I can’t follow you guys if you send it on anon, happens more often then you’d think!
Yes I really am a mother of 4, and no you can’t make me a mother of 5.
I don’t sell nudes
I have a NSFW blog (I don’t share my nudes here either) @notyouraveragenerdymom
If I ever get any asks that I feel need to be easily viewed I will tag them #about nerdymom!

FAQ
Personal ⤵️
Name preference?
Crow is preferred!
Pronouns?
She/her/they, just no he/him please!
Kofi/Commission/Shop/Patron?
Not as of yet, but I will have them set up soon.
Can I repost your art/use AI with it?
No.
Tiding Over ⤵️
What is Tiding Over?
A Subnautica inspired crossover with fnaf. It follows the reader (you), and Dca as you go on some wacky adventures via polls and asks. You do not need to know anything about the Subnautica universe for this, it’s just a bit of fun.
Is Tiding Over a comic or a fanfic?
It is a comic!
Will you be making a fanfic of it?
Not in the foreseeable future. I am kind of a detail oriented person, and with writing that comes out by making everything too descriptive. I do not want to make any of y’all endure that haha
Where can I read Tiding Over?
The Masterpost is Here :)
Is the relationship between Dca and reader romantic or platonic?
It is up to your interpretation!
Any warnings?
If you do not like the open ocean, or big water monsters I’d steer clear.
Much later in the story there will be body horror, but it will be properly tagged and all chapters which include sensitive material will have a warning at the top of the first page and a brief description of what happens at the end.

Things you should know about the blog and blogger!
I am an adult who lives and grew up in the United States, so my experiences and knowledge are limited to an extremely westernized view of Christianity and what I have seen secondhand/been told by others of their experiences.
Frequently Asked Questions (will update as needed)
"Are you a Christian?"
No, but I used to be
"What version of the Bible do you use?"
The King James Version (KJV)
"Do you use a website/bot?"
No, I use my personal bible
"What kinds of posts WON'T you do?"
I find a lot of my rules to be common sense, but I will not do ones that;
Make fun of the loss of life. There are exceptions! Think to yourself, "Is what's being said cruel?" "Does this go into unnecessary detail?" If the answer is yes, I won't do it.
Are racist, antisemitic, obvious dogwhistles...really just anything that dehumanizes people based on skin color, religion, etc.
Mock people who are disabled or neurodivergent. There is obviously a difference between gallows humor and punching down, and I will do the former.
Mock queer people. AGAIN think "gallows humor or punching down?"
Please feel free to send me asks/submissions, mention me in posts, reblog, and reply to my posts.
I love getting questions and seeing everyone's nice messages. I won't answer all of them, but I DO see them, and I appreciate them! 💜

I'm still just trying to wrap my head around how the yellow connection points in your suns, stars, and moons blanket is a slip stitch. It looks way more raised and textured...is it a zigzag slip stitch??
Are you talking about the joining method? Its called the Flat braid join.
Tumblr media
youtube
The slip stitches are around the moon, sun, and star itself.

Hope this helps clarify!!

Tumblr media
Hey everyone! This is just a quick frequently asked questions post with a couple answers to repeated questions in my inbox. Hopefully this addresses them all, but if you have anything not included here just shoot me an ask and I'll get back to you if I can.
Tumblr media
★ Circuit Content Warnings: Circuit is rated 18+ for the following: sexual themes, drug and alcohol use, explicit language, and violence. This blog is ALSO 18+.
★ Ask Guidelines: I'm willing to answer general asks surrounding the story, characters, and mechanics of the game and blog. I'm also willing to answer asks of the following (more specific) types - "how would [char] react to," prompts, and NSFW prompts. I'm NOT willing to answer any asks relating to self harm, SA, SH, or explicit asks about pregnancy. I also won't answer asks offering unsolicited and unwanted criticism or advertising your own work.
★ Romancing Multiple Characters: You can romance multiple different ROs, but there will be points where you need to choose. I advise choosing 1 per play through if you're interested in more than 1.
★ Can we choose our characters ____? Here are a couple things you can choose about your character thus far into the story. These may grow as the story progresses.
First and last name
Pronouns, including set she/her, he/him, and they/them as well as an option to enter your own pronouns.
Preferences pertaining to physical appearance, such as hair colour (dyed or natural, can dye a natural colour), hair length, hair style, clothing style, eye colour.
Team colours, primary and secondary
Car design
Pre-race habits
Racing nickname
However, there are a couple things coded into the game allowing it to naturally pick up on your characters actions and label your character as such. Here's a little info on that:
Based on actions/choices during races, your character can be labelled a wildcard, a patient and cautious prowler, or a vicious daredevil, which the world around will take note of and respond to your character with. You can actively manipulate which of the three you are during races, but you cannot manually choose.
Actions/choices made in the public eye impact how the world responds to your character. You can hate the press or love it, ignore your fans or cherish them. Again, you can actively manipulate which of them you are during press/fan interactions, but you cannot manually choose.
★ Can my character be [personality]? I try to be as inclusive with my personality options as possible, so I'm inclined to say yes. However, I can't promise that every option will pertain to an ultra specific personality. In that case, I always make sure to include neutral options that cater to a wide variety of characters.
★ Any Romances Besides the ROs? Yes, but these will not be nearly as fleshed out as the main four. These will take the role of flings and will be short, without any particularly happy endings.
★ Do we have to participate in a romance route to play the story? A large part of the story is romance, but it is not its centre, so no. You can be best friends with each of the ROs and that can be the extent of your relationship.
★ Character perspectives: I'm definitely willing to write character perspectives on certain situations that happen in the story, however that will likely stay reserved to a future patreon page.
★ Fanfiction: Sure, you can write fanfiction.
★ Fan art: Sure, you can create fan art, so long as art including my characters remains generally true to the physical appearance given, which can be found here for the ROs.
★ Can we ditch Roman? Absolutely.

Things you should know about the blog and blogger!
I am an adult who lives and grew up in the United Kingdom, so my experiences and knowledge are limited to an extremely I read Homestuck a few years ago and understand all of it. Ask me any question about what the text means and I will give the correct answer.
Frequently Asked Questions (will update as needed)
"Are you a Homestuck?"
Yes, multiple
"What version of Homestuck do you use?"
The regular one.
"Do you use a website/bot?"
No, I use my personal copy of the books (just kidding, readmspa.org)
"What kinds of posts WON'T you do?"
I find a lot of my rules to be common sense, but I will not do ones that;
Make fun of the loss of life. There are exceptions! Think to yourself, "Is what's being said cruel?" "Does this go into unnecessary detail?" If the answer is yes, I won't do it.
Are racist, antisemitic, obvious dogwhistles...really just anything that dehumanizes people based on skin colour, religion, etc.
Mock people who are disabled or neurodivergent. There is obviously a difference between gallows humour and punching down, and I will do the former.
Mock queer people. AGAIN think "gallows humour or punching down?"
Is it direct text from Homestuck? In which case I will probably do it anyway but only a couple of times.
Please feel free to send me asks/submissions, mention me in posts, reblog, and reply to my posts.
I love getting questions and seeing everyone's nice messages. I won't answer all of them, but I DO see them, and I appreciate them! 💚
And yes, I stole this entire post from @bible-word-counter, and its gimmick. I don't necessarily intend to have as much an output as them, this is like my 4th gimmick blog, but the point here is to have fun.

SHURIRI WEEK 2024 FAQ!
Tumblr media
Do you love Shuri Udaku and Riri Williams as a pair/ship? This is the place for you!
Shuriri Week is a celebration of Shuri/Riri, Black women, sapphic love, and all things SCIENCE GIRLFRIENDS and Black Panther Wakanda Forever! This event is happening on TUMBLR and ARCHIVE OF OUR OWN (AO3).
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
- What is Shuriri Week?
Shuriri week is a week long community/fandom celebration of the Shuri Udaku/Riri Williams pairing/ship. This celebration includes fan fiction, fan art, discussions, polls, etc. 
- Do I need to sign up/post everyday/how to submit?
There's no sign up! On Tumblr, all you need to do is post it with the tag #ShuririWeek2024 *and* @/mention the page (@shuririweek). It will be reblogged! You don't need to post everyday! You can choose which theme days you want to participate in - and you can choose from any of the suggested prompts or use your own, as long as the work you post is aligned the correct theme day! All you need to do to submit a work on AO3 is post it to your account and add it to the sub collection for that event (ex. SHURIRIWEEK2024 for works done for that event). (Link)
- What if I post late/early/for the wrong day?
No worries! While there are rules for submission, it's not the end of the world if you make a mistake. For TUMBLR, I'll do my best reblog it on the right day! Please make sure to not only add the Tag for the event, but also mention the page. For AO3, it doesn't matter! All works will include the theme and prompts and people will be able to find the ones they want to read! 
- Where do I find the theme days/prompts?
They can be found on Tumblr @ShuririWeek and on the admin's page, @Blacksapphhicmaddonna - in text form and in graphics. (Link)

All good! Content posted under the event tag will be reblogged/added up to a week (7 days) after the event. After that? Don't worry! More events will happen!
- What's the difference between the THEME DAY and the PROMPT?
The Theme Days are GENRES that are designated to each day of the event week. These are "mandatory" (within the context that you should post the work correlating to each theme on the correct/aligned day). Prompts are not mandatory, but rather suggestions and challenges for you to try to incorporate into your work! You can use as many or as few prompts as you'd like for each work!

frequently asked questions!
who are you?
my main blog is @lost-on-the-highway, you can find out more about me there.
what are your pronouns?
I’m cool with she/they.
what software do you use?
procreate on 10.5” 2018 ipad pro with an apple pencil.
is your askbox open?
yes! unless I explicitly close it for a certain reason, feel free to ask me anything. please don’t be weird and ask for private stuff like my name/age/whatever and remember that I’m human so please be nice, but that aside, ask away!
what inspired the visual style of deep sigh?
one of my favourite webcomics is xkcd, and I love how it uses a simple style to convey complex stuff. not to mention that by making the little creatures simple and genderless, it lets them be more relatable to everyone regardless of gender or sexuality or race. deep sigh is also more of a writing thing than a drawing thing for me, so the visual aspecte of it are more of a supplement to the stuff I'm trying to say.
also, I’m not great at drawing people.
you're drawings blob people on a white background. I could have done that.
but you didn't.
this isn’t art.
it makes you feel something, doesn’t it?
you clearly can’t draw.
I’m an art student with good grades. I can draw a charcoal depiction of a complex still life if I want to, but I find that kind of thing boring. sometimes stuff doesn’t need to be complicated to be meaningful.
do you have comic transcripts?
each comic is described in the alt text. if you’d like a version you can copy, send me a DM.
do you take commissions?
yep! if you'd like you or your loved one in a deep sigh comic, or if you'd just like to help me out a little bit, my ko-fi is here.
can I repost your comics to my website/Instagram account/discord/etc.?
you’re free to share these comics anywhere you’d like for personal use, but please credit them to Deep Sigh Comics on Tumblr. as long as you’re not selling my stuff or images of it, feel free to spread the love!
what do you do?
I’m a writer for film & television professionally. in my spare time I make silly little comics on tumblr.
do you have Instagram?
tumblr is deep sigh’s only current social media for a variety of reasons, mostly because platforms like Instagram have become very hostile towards queer creators and are based around algorithms rather than community. I draw these comics from a place of love and care and not to create “content”, and that’s really important to me, which is why there is no official Instagram/Twitter/etc. if you see someone pretending to be me or reposting my work without credit, please let me know!
are you asexual? you sure seem to make a lot of comics about it.
yes.
where are you from?
London.
can I make fanart of deep sigh?
please do! I’d love to see it, feel free to send me stuff you make or tag me.
do you have any conventions/meets scheduled?
unfortunately, none yet, partially because I’m a very busy person and the fees for those kind of things are pretty steep. however, any upcoming stuff will be announced as soon as it’s confirmed!
what inspired deep sigh?
a comic drawn on an airplane sick bag.
merch?
soon.

✨What is Dreaming in Daylight, Drowning in Darkness (D·4)?✨
From flights of fancy to folklore, magic and monsters, swords and swashbucklers, let your imagination run wild in this enchanting two-part Naruto AU Fantasy zine! Split into two sections, this zine will explore both the light side (Dreaming in Daylight) and dark side (Drowning in Darkness) of the fantasy genre. It promises to be a genuine delight!!!
✨Which characters will be represented in the project?✨
Any and all! This project is open to all characters from Naruto and Naruto Shippuden.
✨What’s in the project?✨
SO MUCH AMAZING STUFF!!!! 1.) A gorgeous art + poetry book - 8.5" square (21.6cm square), perfect-bound, featuring luxurious fantasy AU art spreads paired with breathtaking poetry! 2.) Our delightful wall calendar - 8.5" x 11" (21.6cm x 28cm), saddle stitched, with 13 incredible pin-up illustrations! 3.) A ton of fun merch, (Fill out our interest check to choose your favorites!) ✨Will you be inviting guests?✨
Absolutely! Feel free to make your suggestions on our interest check! Plus, you’ll be seeing some familiar names from prior P4Pzines projects reprising their role to bring these beautiful fantasy AUs to life in their uniquely gorgeous styles!!!
✨Who can apply?✨
D·4 is looking for page/cover artists (x30), authors/poets (x5), a calligrapher (x1), and merch artists (tbd)! This is a large, inclusive project and we would love to see a broad spectrum of styles!!! Zine applicants are required to be 18y/o and up, or over the age of majority in their respective countries at the time of their application.
✨Can I apply for multiple roles?✨
You certainly may!
✨What do I need to have in order to apply?✨
For this project, we’ll be asking art contributors to submit 3-5 pieces of work that demonstrate their ability (some of which will need to be full illustrations with backgrounds, unless applying to be a merch artist). Authors will be asked to submit at least three links or a compiled document of excerpts for those stories they feel best represent them as authors (Maximum 5k in length per fic).
It’s not mandatory that the art submitted be from Naruto, however, authors will need to include at least one piece demonstrating a grasp of characterization for the Naruto fandom.
Some people will submit direct links to their work and some will prefer to compile their work into one google drive folder or website. Any style of submission is acceptable!
✨What will contributors receive for their participation?✨
As is P4Pzines’ tradition, all contributors will receive a free contributor bundle + free shipping, regardless of sales! Contributor bundles are always pre-funded. ^_^
✨Is this a for profit or charity project?✨
Neither! It’s “Pay for Production” (P4P)!!! Since contributor bundles are covered separately, customers pay only the cost of production and associated fees.
Here at P4P Zines, our focus is on bringing amazing art to your doorstep as low cost as possible! This is our way of giving back to fandom and saying “thank you” to the community that has provided us with both entertainment and support throughout the years. <3
✨Who is the head mod?✨
WBY, 5 years in and still going strong. ;D Check out @p4pzines for our past projects and free downloads.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send an ask or DM!
