Character you really want to talk about but havenβt?
Hm, all of them? π
I think ones I really want to talk about I just donβt feel confident yet on doing so since some details are still very murky to me are: Manethon, Camilla, Felicity and Vaustaurum. Manethon and Camilla I really want to engage with because they have close and complicated ties with Aniketos and Luis, which make them all the more interesting.
Felicity (Belphegor) I want to explore badly due to the connection I know they have with Mammon, but theyβre still so new that itβs difficult to figure them out.
And then Vaustaurum is complicated and interesting, and aer connection to Celso and just the fact they are one of the few Celestials still in intact even if greatly diminished in power and scope is something I want to explore more.
How many people make Ohio jokes in this inbox
Not that many, sadly. Iβd honestly welcome a bunch of jokes, see which is the most inventive. An Ohio themed joke off π
uhhh.. what the FUCK do i draw.
The hardest question known to man: what do draw π
Draw something super super self indulgent of your favorite oc. Doesnβt have to be finished or rendered, could just be a sketch! BUT YOU π«΅π» WILL DO IT.
Favorite OC and why?
I think it should be obvious which is my favorite, but Ivan is! That said I enjoy all my characters and do work on them a lot, I just do not post as much about themβ especially recently since I had been so busy with my mother getting sick, going to a con, moving right after, and then artfight.
As for why Ivan is my favorite: he has always been a constant in my life! Ever since I was little I have had Ivan and as I have grown and changed, so has he. So he means a great deal to me. He is also just very fun to explore and is very integral to a lot of story elements in my main OU, Verses of Eternity, and that OU would not exist without him (and a couple of other characters too.)
Do your friends know too much about your family?
Besides my partner who is my best friend: no. I do not talk about my family life all that much unless asked or it naturally comes up in conversationβ and even then I do not tend to share much as a lot of my family history is not happy. I have always been a private person and I prefer keeping certain things with a degree of separation, especially if it can be a topic of sadness and trauma.
What is one thing you would like to become better at?
Composition and 3D modeling. I have programs and resources for both and although I am working on composition in my art, I have not picked up 3D modeling since I dabbled with it last year. I find I never have the mental energy when it comes to 3D modeling and my fatigue makes learning seem very intimidating. Eventually, I will do it. I am just not sure when.
Do you snack often?
Not really, although I used too. My snacking habits have changed since I cook more food from scratch now. I typically eat veggies, nuts, dips, cheeses, fruits, etc for snacks now.
Whatβs Celso afraid of?
Celso canβt feel fear. Anything that would cause him to feel fear instead makes him angry. As for things that would cause that reaction? Uhhhhmβ¦ I canβt think of anything to be honest, as he doesnβt have any enemies that could actually destroy him and he doesnβt value anyone or anything enough that heβd be βafraidβ to lose them. Iβll have to think on this question some more and see if I can shake him for extra insight π€
What do you usually do when you're bored?
Depends on where the brain is at. Sometimes itβs playing a video games, sometimes itβs putting together a puzzle, other times itβs listening to music and vegetating or going on a walk, or taking a nap.
What is the worst thing one can do if they're bored?
Do anything that requires you to think too hard or that you hate π
What do you think about dragons?
I loooooove dragons. I donβt draw them much at all anymore (I need to fix that and get back into doing Geria dev) but dragons are a corner stone of my artist foundations!
Something your partner does that you love?
Is very supporting and advocating of my own autonomy and independence. It is very important to me as a disabled person that I am respected in that way and supported. Especially after leaving a living situation with an overbearing and controlling parent. I have discovered I can do and handle things I never thought I could before because I was never allowed to and actively discouraged from even trying. Relearning my limits is hard but very worth it, and my partner encourages me and is always there to catch me in case I fall.
Whatβs your favorite thing to do with your partner?
I have many favorite things to do with them, but one is cooking together. It is not something either of us expected we would like as much as we do since we both have issues with kitchen spaces thanks to previous living conditions in our lives. It has become one of my favorite activities to do with xem.
We have a system to work together efficiently in the kitchen and have little to no clean up afterwards. Both of us will focus on preparing starting ingredients, and then one of us focuses primarily on actively cooking them while the other assists by grabbing extra ingredients and utensils as needed, and cleans up as we go. It works very well for us.
How do angel wings work in your OU?
I answered this a year or two ago but itβs buried pretty far so Iβll answer again!
Angel wings are their own energy manifested and arenβt physical matter like we understand it! They can seem physical, as in you can touch them, the angel can touch them, and the wings can interact with their environment but thatβs actually reality warping to a minor degree around the angel to accommodate their wings. That said, angel wings will phase through the angelβs clothing automatically as itβs like an ingrained/automatic response, so their clothes never need to be specially tailored to accommodate wings. An angel can also pull their wings into reality just enough for them to be visible but not touchable, and lower realm matter will phase through them. Higher realm matter may be capable of interacting with them, it really depends on what it is.
As for the appearance of an angels wings, they can:
1. Be feathered and mimic the shapes of real bird wings or be entirely anatomically incorrect, and it can shift back and forth since angel wings are the angelβs energy manifested. Angels canβt choose the appearance of how their wings manifest when feathered.
2. Be pure energy which often looks like bright light, sometimes lightly coloured light. The shapes will typically still resemble a standard wing shape but it can get funky and deviate, and is also very malleable/able to change shape.
3. Be a shadow cast behind them, which will typically resemble their mimicry wing shape when feathered.
4. Be a vague outline/trick of the light.
Angels often use their wings offensively and defensively too and they can literally cut through things or use them as shields, etc etc.
