Do you consider the old Aurelina a different character from current Aurelina? Or did she just get some character development?
And would you be ok with someone drawing or commissioning something with an older style Aurelina?
Definitely a different character. I try to distance myself from the old stuff mostly because I feel like I was immature back then, but, I was much younger than I am now. I might be okay with that if I was asked first for approval.

Do you plan to do more with Sophie? It would be a breath of fresh air if she (or one of her descendants with the same name) brought her love of balloons and inflating to the modern world.
I definitely want to! I have a semi-modern version of her that is a spoiled movie star.

I don't know if you still check this but I'm legit curious, where did your fixation for the whole "victorian era" aesthetic come from? What draws you to it?
There's a lot of confusion about eras in the fandom. People think everything older than 1920 is Victorian. I'm actually into what's called the Edwardian era, notably the 1780s when balloonomania was at it's height, just before revolutions erupted across Europe. I'm also into older aesthetics, medieval fantasy, Egypt, Grecoroman. I'm attracted to history in general and am always studying and reading books about interesting periods, so, that's where it all began!

What is your opinion on lighter than air gases for inflation such as helium?
I really wish I could get more into helium, but I really like the loss of power involved with weight rather than weightlessness. Being pinned down instead of flying around just feels better and more permanent to me.

What initially got you into fart inflation, or farts in general? I recently got more open about it myself and back then i've always felt ashamed about enjoying it. I'll be honest, you really helped me be more open about this kind of stuff! I'm inspired by you. :3
You're so sweet! I have been in this fandom for 20 years. About halfway through that tenure I started to focus on my interest in inflation, which had at that point been kind of secondary to fat+slob. I figured I could get the best of both worlds by having a hyper fat fur be the one filling me up, and the rest is history. Notably I avoided posting about it publicly for something like 10 years after I started to commission it.

Is there anything you are specific about when it comes to farts? Some people seem to be split between whether they should just have a generally “bad” smell, or whether they should be legitimately rancid
If the food isn't sexy, the fart isn't sexy
They must be foul, but no "flavor" descriptions or details
Yellow/brown good, green bad

Is there something you want to try with Aurelina as a character that you haven't yet had the opportunity to do?
Doing things means investing time or money on art and I get overwhelmed trying to do all the things I'd like to do. As of now I'm doing more long term rp plots with my partner, which is fulfilling a big need that makes me very pleased.

I have to say you've been a huge inspiration to me and my own self image. You are powerful and confident in the face of all of this hardship and bullshit and harassment, and it really inspires me to be more confident in my self identity. Thank you for being an icon of self love in this quagmire of hatred that the internet has been devolving into ❤️
This means so much to me 😭

What happened to Zyrfraix? (might be spelling that VERY wrong)
Zyfirrax is still around, but she's part of my revolving cast rather than a sona!

What would you say is your favorite part about gas in the inflation fetish? Is it just the aspect of your body inflating you without having control of it?
I always found air and helium to lack social subtext. Farts, however, are taboo and humiliating so it becomes a dominance thing. It's the best inflation method!

What advice would you give to someone who’s insecure about their furry identity? You seem really confident in yours and I think that’s awesome.
Thank you! I would say it's important to be passionate about yourself. I know that can be hard. Treat yourself like one of your favorite characters. You'd want to pamper them, right? I'd also like to know that while I seem confident, I do NOT share my furry identity IRL and indeed I've been doxxed by people threatening to link the two.

When did the lovely combination of "rubber containment suit + inflated via gas" take roost in your mind?
I had another character, Miasma, from about 2007. She was an extradimensional being who looked like a rubberjackal liked to guzzle radioactive slop. From there, I designed an outfit for Aurelina in 2011 or so, which coincided with my then-nascent interest in fart inflation. I commissioned such art in secret since 2011 before finally beginning to post some of it more recently.

Will we ever see a return to the great gassy corrupting omnivorous Aurelina of the past? A callback of sorts here and there?
Probably not? I have other characters who do that now, but I don't embody or identify with them as much anymore. We'll see!

Does Sorceress Aurelia has an arch enemy like a other magician or knight hero or something?
Sort of! I haven't come up with them yet, but her enemies are the descendants of the heroes who beat her in the first place a century ago. They vary in class and type. She especially hates bards!
