1 for Nate, 2 for Connie, 3 for Amanda, 4 for Ash, 5 for Lanzo, 8 for Aidan, 9 for Niner, 10 for Q, 13 for Angie, 14 for Christopher, 16 for Reagan, 17 for Neal, 18 for Ian, 20 for Elise, 22 for Julie, 24 for Lauren, 25 for Jerome, 27 for Kayla, 29 for Myrtle, 31 for Hannah, 33 for Elarin, 34 for Meaghan, 38 for Leah, and 45 for Avery, please!
So this uh, was asked over a year ago. But hey, it's answered now!
1. What's a unique skill Nate has? Is there any reason why he can do it?
Unusually for someone living in a small, quiet town like Aldstow, Nate knows a ton of skateboarding tricks. One of his uncles got him a skateboard when he was seven years old, and for five years that was what he spent almost all of his non-school time doing.
2. What are Connie's favorite possessions? Why? (sentimentality, history, price, etc.)
Some of his books, for different reasons. One because it was the textbook for one of his favorite college classes, and is still an informative read even now. Another because it was a gift from his parents that he re-read a lot in childhood. And one just because the leather cover feels nice in his hands and it has a good heft to it.
3. Does Amanda get jealous easily? If so, what usually causes it?
On occasion, a really attractive woman persistently flirting with her SO has made Amanda jealous, but not often. Her ex Simon got hit on at least twice by men, which she found hilarious (Simon was incredibly straight), and once she and Lanzo work things out, she finds she doesn’t care so much about people flirting with him, partially because she trusts him, mostly because she knows from first-hand experience that getting through Lanzo’s emotional barriers enough to even start an actual relationship is way harder than any aspiring homewrecker would have the patience for.
4. Is Ash a good gift-giver? What does he tend to give as gifts?
Ash’s gift-giving instincts are fairly reliable if he knows the recipient well enough, but he’s missed the mark more than once. If he barely knows the individual, it’s even worse.
In order of likelihood, books, tea, candles. He recognizes that other people like things other than what he likes, but it’s just so much easier to give things he knows he’d like to get. This is the chief problem with his gift-giving.
5. What's Lanzo's reputation like? Does this reputation contrast what he's really like?
Lanzo has a lot of different reputations. 
At work, to all but a few perceptive regulars, he’s the worldly-wise bartender with a mysterious past who’s willing to listen to you ramble about your problems but avoids offering advice, except weirdly specific things on random occasions. 
This is not completely inaccurate, but it’s definitely more of how Lanzo would like to be seen than how he actually is.
To those perceptive regulars, he’s an average guy who’s lived long enough to have some weird stories, and is charismatic enough to weave a convincing air of mystery out of it.
This is considerably more accurate.
To those in the house, he’s laid-back and easy to get along with for the most part, though you have to beware his sense of humor and occasional desire for chaos, but he’s really good at smoothing things over if he upsets you, and there’s also the chance that he’ll be incredibly perceptive about something that’s bothering you and have some oddly specific but actually really helpful advice for the situation. 
8. What does Aidan's dream house look like?
A treehouse, for starters. Sparse on furniture, but a lot of hammocks and tall shelves with space for perching. Nuts or fruit-bearing plants in the vicinity, as long as he doesn’t have to tend them himself. And a swell video game system, for when Nate visits.
9. If Niner could change one part of her appearance, what would it be?
If we’re allowing changes that are not biologically possible, she’d made her nails grow faster and break less easily. She’s always trying to grow them out super-long, but then one of them breaks on something and she has to trim them all down or otherwise it feels weird, and the process starts all over again.
10. What's a simple thing that brings Q joy?
Fireflies.
13. How forgiving is Angie? What does she consider unforgivable?
To Angie, forgiveness is a sacred responsibility. For the most part, she doesn’t find it hard to forgive, even if the other person doesn’t seem genuinely sorry. 
She doesn't consider anything unforgivable as such, but one of the worst sins in her eyes is a total lack of principle. Hypocrisy or failure to live up to your own principles is bad, but at least those people believe in something.
14. Who does Chris go to in a crisis/emergency? Any particular reason why he chooses that person?
Any situation dire enough to force Chris to seek help most likely requires professionals, like firefighters or S.W.A.T., but assuming it was something sufficiently non-urgent for him to reach out to someone specific, that would be his sister Marie. The reason being, Chris would hate having to ask for help, and his sister would be able to figure out the situation with the minimal amount of actually explaining/asking for help, and would respond in the way most soothing to his ego.
16. What food does Reagan absolutely hate?
Beets. The first time she tried them, they made her gag almost to the point of vomiting. The lengths to which her aunt was willing to make her eat them, on the one or two occasions per year she served them, only reinforced Reagan’s hatred of them. 
17. Does Neal show a lot of affection, or is he pretty reserved?
Very reserved, unless he’s comfortable and very close with someone. Then, in private, he’s very affectionate, and eager for reciprocation.
18. If you had to represent Ian with a flower, color, and animal, what would you choose?
Flower: Dandelion. Grows easily, bright and friendly, some consider it an annoying weed.
20. Is Elise easy to wake up in the morning, or grouchy and sleepy?
Closer to easy to wake up. Elise isn’t a bright-and-shiny, “good morning world!” kind of person, but once she’s up she wakes up quickly, especially if she has some caffeinated tea or coffee.
22. What's Julie's silliest or most unusual fear/phobia?
There are certain kinds of elevators that make her anxious -- it's more an aesthetic thing than anything, but "pure metal" elevators are worse than ones with glass, carpeting, etc. It's a combination of some bad experiences, a few memorable elevator scares in media, and (the biggest reason) one really terrible, very memorable nightmare when her dad was sick.
24. Is Lauren a fussy eater?
She could be incredibly picky when she was a child. As an adult, she’s less so, but mostly because she lives on her own and so she gets to make all the choices about what she eats.
25. What are Jerome's dreams like?
He only remembers a handful of dreams he’s had in his life. They were intense, colorful, and very, very bizarre.
27. Is Kayla forgetful? What does she tend to forget? (plans, phone, keys, etc.)
She has an exceptionally good memory, even once she’s human.
29. Is Knife a good cook? If she is, what does she like to make?
Unless heating soup or one of those “just add water” macaroni and cheese bowls in the microwave counts as cooking, Knife doesn’t really cook. 
31. What holiday does Hannah like the most? (Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, etc.)
Christmas! 
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. She starts practicing Christmas songs in October, helps her parents (and grandmother, when she was alive) decorate the day after Thanksgiving, and makes gift bags for all her friends at school. Her favorite thing (after presents) is when they go out to look at Christmas lights: they bundle up, go out and get fast food to eat in the car, then drive through the best-decorated neighborhoods her dad knows of. She loves everything about it, though: the music, the cookies, visiting (some of) her family. She also likes the Christmas story her dad reads.
33. Is Elarin adventurous, or does she prefer to stay in her safe zone?
Elarin was probably crawling out of her “safe zone” when she was a baby. She’s scared of very little, and almost never shows it when she is.
34. What's Meaghan's favorite drink? (Coffee, tea, juice, hot chocolate, soda, etc.)
Some type of relaxing herbal tea from a planet she’s visited. She also likes a few alcoholic beverages, though she doesn’t drink those often.
38. Does Leah get lost easily, or is she good with directions?
She’s better than most with directions. Leah has a good grip on the cardinal directions, which helps. Her memories of the pre-war Boston area interfere sometimes, but they also help -- she just needs to remember to look for half-collapsed ruins instead of skyscrapers sometimes.
45. Is Avery always late, on time, or early?
Avery can be anywhere from two hours early to four days late; the one thing she never is is on time. She makes an effort for people like Aveline, with schedules and deadlines and things, but she just doesn’t have a punctual bone in her body.
Thanks for asking!

i couldn't pick one person so HERE! a random and/or irrational fear from each of my ocs
q: needles. he's donated plasma for money but kept his eyes closed basically the entire time
sam: standing under power lines, especially if he can hear the electricity humming
christine: raccoons. she does not like their little human hands or their creepy little waddle!
jason: he's at least halfway convinced that chupacabras are real and eat people. no way in hell is he ever going to mexico (his family comes from guatemala, not mexico, thankyouverymuch)
michelle: an insect getting stuck in one of her paintings and dying. what's she gonna do, pull it out? what if its legs come off??
david: someone told him you can get cancer from eating burned food and since then eating anything with even a little bit of char on it makes a little counter entitled "Likelihood of Getting Cancer" tick up a few points in his head
muninn: people in mascot costumes. this definitely did not arise from being terrified of teletubbies as a young child which definitely does not persist in any way, shape, or form to present day

Absolutely hilarious that most of the server has either 1) forgotten Wilbur or 2) never even met him, so everyone just assumes Phil has two kids?
Devastated at the fact I don't speak either portuguese or french, I need to know what the logic is for why one dude has two eggs and no one questions it.
(This post was brought to you by the uncountable number of times people refer to both Chayanne and Tallulah as Phil's son and daughter without much thought.)

I liked qElQuackity's new skin a lot because it gave me an excuse to try my hand on an Eldritch design for him :DD
I did have some uh creative freedom with it and didn't stick too much to how the skin actually looks, but I tried to keep the vibes with the color palette and the eye in the center...
also since I draw him with scars due to the Gordinho Gostosinho incident, I decided to make them funky by adding the star imagery the original skin has to them
that's all, enjoy !!
Like my art? Consider buying me a coffee!

I've been thinking a lot about q!phil's devotion towards q!missa. Phil could have easily gone the same route fit did with his absent co-parent (spreen), which was basically "my asshole husband left to buy cigarettes and never came back, I want a divorce." But he didn't.
Phil named the waystone at his home Phil & Missa, despite knowing that missa was going to go away for a long time. Phil hadn't seen missa in over a month when he dyed his backpack black and put a skull on it to represent missa. Around that same time phil also spent hours grinding so he could make slime armor for himself, chayanne, tallulah, and missa. Phil still talks about missa. Phil never forgets about missa, and phil is still loyal to him despite his continued absence. That's devotion.

What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?
difficult: loss really gets to me rn, esp the little ways life changes... tragedies are hit and miss. e. g. i did okay with the separation at the end of the mandalorian season two bc i knew in my greedy capitalistic heart that too much money was being made for gisney to keep them apart, but i have less faith in the writers of stranger things so let it be known that If Steve Harrington Dies We Riot
easy: lower stakes problems for characters who are usually in high stakes circumstances. they might still be Going Through It, but the potential outcomes are less life-changing. several of my actually published works are in that vein
How much prep work do you put into your stories? What does that look like for you? Do you enjoy this part or do you just want to get on with it?
what's prep work?
seriously tho most of it's mental. inspiration usually comes in a rush and i go over it in my head a few times before committing it to a document. and that's it
Who is the most delightful character you’ve ever written? Why?
"delightful" is not a descriptor i'd use for... most of my favorite characters, tbh. i assume this means ocs, which narrows it down a lot
i'm gonna say q free. he's fun bc he's a wild card when it comes to like. everything. this is a man who can differentiate between different kinds of caviar and also has a rating system for which restaurants are best for dumpster diving. he has silver that's been in his family since at least the elizabethan era and sleeps on an air mattress. he could hide a few million dollars in art and land acquisition by calling one or two contacts in his two-generations-ago smartphone with a cracked screen. he has eaten live bugs for pocket change and knows how to use a sword. he speaks a handful of languages fluently and is terrified of maternal women. he has nightmares about his cousin dying bc if that happened he'd become heir to one of the richest couples on the planet and he'd rather go on delivering packages in the rain and staying in just listening to music on the weekends, thanks. i never know what he's gonna reveal to me next

Sometimes I feel like only Peter Parker gets how humbling it is to be poor jesus christ. I am enjoying my time despite not being my cup of tea (I am a dialogue person, I love dialogue I love dialogue as a dog loves little delicious treats. 60's comics unfortunately do not have the best kind of dialogues). But I am enjoying it, almost as a concept, hecause Stan Lee and Robin Dikto do not have the fear to show a pathetic little man, they don't have the embarrassment of showing your hero getting rejected by the girl, forgetting to let his suit dry and having to wear a wet scrunky suit, showing him being arrogant, being annoying, a very very antisocial guy.
I think reading so so many comics where it's clear how much the writers are trying to make the hero sound cool, the smartest, handsomest and smoothies guy in the room.
Peter is kind of a breath of fresh air. He gets it, he really does. He's not cool, he's not there yet. He's a kid doing dumb shit. Trying to do better, failing and failing and trying. No wonder so many people who got to read his comics as they were growing up hold Peter so close to their heart.
Because he's the proof you can try again, you can fuck up, in ten, twenty, thirty hell maybe forty years from now it won't matter. Just try again. Stand up. Try again.
@sciderman talks a lot about how Spider-Man is about reaching manhood and I've never get it, sure as a concept yes but I couldn't grasp why. Now I do.
It's not about waking up and being the man you should be, being responsible for having a cool montage of getting better and better. Nah it's the every day thing. Peter isn't (at least what I am getting of the comics while I read at my pace and time) the representation of becoming the power and responsability thing, he is the representation of having this as a goal. And trying each day.
