5, 6 and 9 for the weird asks? :D
hehe thank you 😈😈😈
5. do you prefer to drink soda from soda cans, soda bottles, plastic cups or glass cups?
very good question……… these all have different flavors, advantages, and disadvantages… i will be using beloved dr. pepper as an example. here is my ranking:
1. my favorite way to drink soda is from a glass/reusable cup, especially if they’re insulated. keeps the flavor and the temperature for the entirety of the drink. plus you can have cool designs that make it genuinely fun to drink from. glasses sweat a lot though which is why i prefer the reusable metal/plastic cups!
2. straight from the can is easily the sharpest flavor, but can be overwhelming and almost painful because of this. still VERY refreshing if you’re thirsty.
3. the bottles kinda suck ngl. they CAN be very good but like 60% of the time they’re flat already. especially if it’s a big 2 liter bottle, goes super flat before you can even finish it. so waste of money and precious dr. pepper
4. plastic cups are much better for just water imo… i feel like they don’t hold the flavor much at all beyond the first few sips, and the ice melts almost immediately and waters the soda down so it tastes like shit in 5 minutes
6. pastel, boho, tomboy, preppy, goth, grunge, formal or sportswear?
and on the other side of the spectrum, i know Absolutely nothing about fashion. i guess pastel is the most visually appealing to me?? but yeah the most fashionable i get is a button-up 💔
9. favorite smell in the summer?
impossible question… well top 3 would be the air right before a heavy storm (NOT petrichor although that’s very good too), honeysuckle, and the beach!

JOEY!!!! TRIGUN!!!! Which trigun are you starting with!! I hope you enjoy your journey im excited for you getting into it!! 🥺🤘
HEH well i finished trigun stampede last night!! enjoyed it a lot vash and knives rattleing in my brain like pears theyre sort of insane to me. i like vash a lot more than i thought i would.... i think i might watch the 98 anime in a bit i'm still chewing on some thoughts (mostly re:trigun's use of westerns as an influence + expansionism + colonialism) but i am curious to see how it plays out in that one. i havent picked up a manga in a long while but if i get the hankering to i def will go to trigun

YOOO I didn’t know you liked Alice Madness Returns!! It’s such a cornerstone for me for visual design and narrative and ahhh it’s one of my fav games I’m glad u like it too! >:D 🌟
alice madness returns has existed in my periphery for years now, only managed to actually play it myself within the past year or so after witnessing my sibling play it on PS3 and later buying it for myself on PC. i got up to cardbridge and then left it for several months before installing RPCS3 and finding out it was on the list of games with perfect compatibility, so i ended up finally finishing it on there. it's one of my fave games now, i really love that style of action-adventure platformer, i started playing madness returns soon after i finished psychonauts 2 and it whet my appetite for similar games really really well (also the razputin cameo in the queen's castle!). the level design in madness returns in particular is some of the most striking and memorable i've seen in any game, it's absolutely my favourite thing about it. queensland is by far my favourite area, it's so gritty and desolate and gross-looking, i love it. i found out about the status of alice: asylum soon after i finished the game and i'm really bummed out about it. unfortunately as a long-time dead space fan this is not the first time i've been scorned by EA

tagged by @saintprivateer , a wonderful artist and a great friend
So the things are Last Song, currently reading, currently watching, and current obsession.
Considering I cannot function without music my last songs are on a Ranger playlist, which is anywhere between:
Wanderlust (Yoko Shimomura)
Farewell Wanderlust (The Amazing Devil)
Song of the Sword Dancer, Eyes of the Wolf, ...Steel for Humans ( by Marcin Przybylowics mostly??)
Sol Invictus (zywiolac)
Blood Hunter (Varien, featuring I think Pilentze Pè from a choir)
Ode to fury, Valhalla Calling, Wake the White Wolf (Miracle of Sound)
And that's the playlist, focusing on three of my five rangers.
Currently Reading: A Wizard of Earthsea (Ursula K LeGuin) and the One Page Financial Plan.
Earthsea has been on my to read list since the start of the year so I'm just - FINALLY. I genuinely like the naïvite of "what use is power if you're too wise to use it", I'm still in the start but low-key I'm already drawn to Ged like honey, you still have much to learn and this'll be delicious. If anyone wanted to know how the Wise Old Wizard became wise, or about a Magic Academy long before Rowling's time, this young islander wizard's journey was where to start.
My sister is gonna kill me that I'm not reading about a pirate series coincidentally. All the stars and teeth later please
Currently Watching; Mushishi. I love the weirdness of everything, it's like Mononoke but less action. It's actually... Pretty endearing and rather complete in its interfoldong tragedies.
Current obsession:
I have two swords and a spear to make for a LARP group.
I am doubling down on concept art
I have two amazing grishaverse BB projects which I am LOVING
But I also have a physical job requirement and homework which takes up too much brain space right now.
I also wanna play Hades and Transistor since I got them on sale but fbshdgdjsjf
I'll show y'all some of the concepts and then post cause I really tried to take Howe's advice. Idk if it's working, but at some point I got too tangled in characters and attire. I forgot how fun props are.

The Black Pieces
Hi everyone!  This is my story for @grishaversebigbang 2020!  I am so excited!  First of all, I want to thank the wonderful people who worked with me at this story: Corporalki (Beta): @forthegenuine  Materialki (Artists): @bubble--berry  (work here ) @clearlynotclaire  (work here ) 
@saatanan-sorsasesonki (work here )
@saintprivateer  Sensitivity Reader: @zemenipearls 
Synopsis:   Twenty-one years after Crooked Kingdom events, people start to disappear in Ketterdam. Kaz understands the fault is in Igor Valaky, a mad scientist escaped from Ravka, and he contacts Nikolai. The Ravkan king persuades Dirtyhands and King Steffen of Fjerda to form a team of eight skilled teenagers to help them with Valaky’s capture. The young team is called “The Black Pieces” and each of the members represents one of the main chess pieces: a king, a queen, two bishops, two knights and two rooks. You can find my fiction on Ao3 here
Under the cut, you’ll find the Prologue! 
ANIKA  A single, dull, bell toll echoed throughout the sleeping city. Anika walked along the poorly illuminated streets of the Barrel, with a black jacket that shielded her tiny body from the fresh, night air, a couple of guns fastened to her leather belt and a sharp knife hidden in the right boot. It had been a good day, at the Crows Club, that had kept her busy from early morning, but also gave her great satisfaction. That was her world, a harsh, sometimes cruel, but always homely kingdom and she was born to be the Hand of the king, his loyal and capable second in command. Not the queen, she thought.   The queen, the one who had kept the king’s heart in her hands for over two decades, fought her battles elsewhere, for the majority of the year. And when she came back to the city, she was always torn between the calls of two kings: the beloved criminal and the sea. The latter always won. Sometimes, Anika wondered how it was, how they felt. She could barely imagine living parted from Fannie, her lovely Fannie, who always waited for her awake, in their apartment near Fifth Harbour.   She left the Barrel behind, taking a quiet, almost deserted road. There was a single human being there, apart from her, a pretty girl around twenty, with long, wavy, chestnut brown hair which almost reached her waist. She was closing the door of a small pub. Anika gave her a small, polite nod, when she walked by her: she had already met that girl before, more than once. She was a young immigrant from the Wandering Island, who worked in a floral shop and, sometimes, earned extra money serving as a waitress in the pub. I should buy some flowers for Fannie, tomorrow, Anika thought, her low heels ticking on the pebbles of the small street. White and blue flowers. Her favourites.
She had almost reached the end of the street, when a loud shriek broke the silence of the night, making her turn around, a hand on her right gun: the girl was struggling against two persons, a man and a woman, both wearing the typical kefta from two different Grisha orders. The woman was a Squaller, the man a Fabrikator. What’s happening?, Anika thought, catching her gun and aiming at them. Why are they trying to kidnap that girl? She knew she had no chance against two Grisha, but she could count on the element of surprise, since they hadn’t seen her. “Let me go, please!” the girl screamed. “What do you want from me?” The Squaller said something to her companion, in Ravkan, then, she covered the girl’s mouth with a hand, while the Fabrikator used his powers to animate a thick rope, that wrapped her body like the coils of a snake. Anika narrowed her eyes, then, she pulled the trigger. The sound of the gunshot was immediately followed by a male scream: the Fabrikator collapsed to the ground, clenching his left leg, while the Squaller turned her head to their attacker, giving her a killer glance. “Let her go!” Anika ordered, aiming at the woman’s arm and shooting again. Even though he was injured, the Fabrikator moved his hand so quickly she didn’t even notice it. A sudden, piercing pain exploded into Anika’s right shoulder, making her scream and lose the grip on her gun.   The woman knelt to the ground, almost breathless, her left hand clutching the wounded shoulder, where her own bullet, sent back by the man’s magic, had sunk .Her eyes went wet, while she raised her glance to check the situation, and thanks to the male Grisha’s distraction, the girl had been able to free herself from the rope and, led by desperation and survival instinct, she hit the Squaller’s cheekbone with her elbow. With the left hand, Anika grabbed the gun she had let fall and tried to stand up.“Help me!” the girl cried, running towards her. “Please, help me!” The Dregs’ deputy chief trudged ahead, stretching her trembling right arm. The pain was almost unbearable, but she needed her left hand ready to shoot again. “Qu-quicker…” she panted. “T-take my hand…” They almost did it. They went so close that Anika felt the warmth of the girl’s fingertips on hers. Then, the snake-like rope flew towards its young victim, catching her right leg. The flower girl was suddenly thrown up into the air, hanged upside down, screaming and fidgeting, her long, soft hair fell down to her face, like a reddish-brown curtain. “No!” Anika yelled, aiming at the kidnappers again. The Squaller raised her hands and a strong, howling wind travelled along the street, reaching the Dreg lady and hurling her behind, making her crash against the shop window of a furniture store. The glass broke and Anika hit a huge, exposed wardrobe with the injured shoulder. The intense pain almost took her breath away, then, everything went black. She woke up some minutes after, when someone tapped her forehead and cheeks with a wet, cold handkerchief. Pim’s worried face was bending over her. “Anika!” he whispered. “Anika, can you hear me?” The woman moaned, grabbing his wrist with the left hand. She could taste a bloody flavour into her mouth. “Pim…” she murmured, coughing. “Wh-where’s the girl?” Her comrade frowned, making her heart sink. “What girl?”

Tamar for the character list? 🌹
send me a character and i’ll list:
favorite thing about them: she’s an axe lesbian
least favorite thing about them: she’s not MY axe lesbian girlfriend :(
favorite line: that one part where she says “my wife” in KOS
brOTP: Tamar and Adrik! I’ve written them interacting a lot in my modern Adreoni fic but basically I think axe lesbian energy would be great with Adrik’s grumpy pragmatic energy, and they would probably bring out the best and worst in each other. I’m so glad they’re in-laws.
OTP: How could I POSSIBLY ship her with anyone other than Nadia? I am personally really excited to see wlwoc NadiaxTamar in the Shadow and Bone show.
nOTP: Tamar and any man
random headcanon: Adrik and Tamar get drunk together and he tries to throw one of her axes. He doesn’t have a balancing prosthetic on and it goes badly and they spen the whole night trying to cover the axe hole in the wall before Nadia gets home.
unpopular opinion: Tamar IRL would n e v e r be okay with Nikolai’s imperialist nature given her upbringing, parentage, and the fact she spent a huge chunk of her childhood in Novyi Zem.
song i associate with them: “honey” by kehlani because gay rights
favorite picture of them: this amazing art by @koelsong is my FAVORITE

Caressed and Sunkissed!
caress - do you like to snuggle?
i’d like to think i like snuggling... but tbh i don’t really enjoy physical contact. like, i want to snuggle and be physical with people but i get really uncomfortable when people touch me. rip
sun-kissed - autumn or spring!
autumn! i’ve lived in the northern u.s almost all my life and halloween/fall in general is a pretty big thing where I live so it’s really fun when the leaves start to turn and i can drink hot beverages without sweating lol. also i hate the allergies that come with spring
Soft Asks!
