Mood. The thing I write on and off has a leading lady who uses a sturdy staff as both magestaff and bostaff, so I kinda-sorta have that. And I suffer from being stuck on a chapter.

i think women should get into polearms in a big way. not a lot of women in polearms these days. would love to see women doing battle with polearms.

I have to say Naruto, because it was on Cartoon Network here and there when I was young and I didn't really watch any of the rest (if they were on). Though, JoJo's is more what got me into anime.

I don't; but I fully expect the fruitlets to make like popcorn-on-the-cob when they change, and maybe someone will carve the center into a totem pole if there's anything left.

I'm more curious about varieties. *Holds a Granny Smith and a Honeycrisp at the ready*

*places an orange just outside a fairy ring to see what comes out* science is more of an art than a science

I don't drink coffee, I don't drink tea, my mother doesn't understand how neither her husband nor her sons can stand either, and she likes both. There's a lot of jokey yucking and yumming that goes on in our household, but the most on-topic one is when we had durian ice cream.

Nobody else can stand it, it has a strong aroma that can spread, and my brother only ever calls it foot ice cream, much to my chagrin. And much to my further chagein, everyone agrees with the assessment.

Come on. It's like mangoes! We like mangoes!

Ever disagree with a character as you write them? About something unimportant that bothers you?

First it was the centaur in Accidentally Human, who said that flying didn’t sound fun. (Sacrilege! Like many fantasy writers, I would jump at the chance to fly.)

Today I’m writing about a lizardy fellow who dislikes apples. Says they’re like eating soggy driftwood.

He is near and dear to my heart, but he is wrong about food.

If you don't allow your characters to misbehave, they can't grow. Heaven knows that's how I get most of my characters to learn new tricks.

This is literally why, after a dozen little "chapters" of my own story, I had to go back to the beginning; I'd started in medias res and just kept going from there, and needed to actually write the origin stories.

writing advice that doesn't work for you

my fellow writers, what is a piece of writing advice that never did it for you?

I go first: "don't edit, rewrite".

Oddly enough, I never much cared for Toriel. Never even played Undertale.

What you're really looking for is Absa from Rivals of Aether, for me at least.

Now, to be clear, I'm not saying that the entire Pseudoregalia fandom consists of people who had something awakened in them by Toriel from Undertale, but

Apparently there was some kind of race scheduled at a local park or something so I've been trying to avoid the main trail but a little while ago when I had to cross near it I overheard the following shouted exchange

Higher feminine voice: woo, look at you go! You're jogging! Keep it up!

Lower masculine voice (panting): you know it! Last place is still a place, baby!

And goddamn if that didn't rewire my brain a little bit.

Last place is still a place, baby.

Jezzamel Castleman. Alpha B****, hold the B****. Adept at using social credit and monetary credit to earn more of each while enriching people's lives.

I don't think anyone watches me but I think I might just start posting my art here. New but especially old.

This is White Noise, the fifth addition to my hero team the Phenomenal Colors. I write about them and so far, she won't appear in writing for a bit-while...but her civilian form, which I am drawing, already has, as one of the first confidants of the leader.

I beat Pseudoregalia and Corn Kidz 64 and they've irreversibly changed how I do game design and I felt like drawing the protagonists from both games for fun in my pixel game style.

Seriously play those games if you haven't
