Go on then, I know you all have some weird and fun prying questions to ask.

when you need your teeth cleaned do you go to a rodentist

Congratulations, you now have me considering orthrodentics and the thought of needing braces on rodent buck teeth has me too terrified to formulate a response.

Thoughts on vacations: Do you prefer theme parks, built up cities, tourist traps and such or calmer more relaxed escape to nature, camping and hiking kinds of things?

I'm cottagecore as heck. Give me a quaint little mountain or seaside town or something like that and I'll be pleased as punch, especially if there's ready access to nature.

I am absolutely not one for cities, though.

If you had to travel a long distance would you rather fly or drive it (assuming both are an option)?

Your go to "today SUCKED and i need to unwind" activity?

The sad thing is, I don't really have one. I try to just vibe and do things with my friends if I can; getting that sort of fond social energy does wonders for me.

Generally, if I'm not in a good state of mind, I try and do something that I'm not doing alone.

Do it. Buy a toy. A fleshlight is discrete and a fun time for all! But mostly you.

How does a magic rat man become the base commander of a unit of plane enthusiasts and degenerates?

Out-of-universe: It was kind of an accident. I had the whole 'base commander' in the coat and the helmet and all that and at some point- I want to say it was the picture of looking up at the stars in an X-29's cockpit?- I just doodled up a rat alt so I could post it in my FA gallery. This process repeated several times until I decided I liked the look enough to just give the coat and such to Syd and ruled that they were, in fact, the same person all along. Somehow.

In-universe: probably because he was the only person stupid enough to take a crack at it.

Got any playlists you like to listen to? Music to rat to.

I've got a few tracks I keep returning to. Weirdly enough there's this old extended dance version of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" that tends to help me focus on my artwork when all else fails. Obviously I'm a big fan of the FFXIV and Ace Combat series' OSTs, too.

But I sometimes just go to whatever jazz streaming channels I can find on Youtube and go with those. Less fond of lo-fi, though.

is it better to cradle rat like baby, or hold rat like cheeseburger

ASMR: Local six foot rodent types on keyboard, creaks his chair, clatters his teacup against the desk.
Yes.

Don't forget more awkward pauses, 'um's, and 'y'know's than a Jeff Kaplan developer update.

Not the guy who asked the ASMR question but low quality mic ASMR is the most soulful ASMR.

You own any toys?

They're COLLECTIBLE FIGURINES, anonymous. Collective. Figurines.

But assuming you mean the more grown-up kind of toy, nah. I keep considering it but end up chickening out by the end.

The best part of morbier cheese is when it goes "IT'S MORBIN' TIME".

Real talk though, it has a strong smell. Some people might find it offputting. But I promise you, it's sharp and creamy and delicious.

Also the big streak through it is ash, not mold, in case that's something that'd be a dealbreaker.

This is going to sound weird but ever think of doing ASMR? Your voice is calming as hell man

Anonymous Coward · 2y

Ever think of drawing a humanized version of Syd?

(Preferably with the rat ears and tail remaining present)

Anonymous Coward · 2y

a paramecium

More of a Tardigrade man myself. Or, oh man, ever seen Volvox? those things are nuuuuts.
