What are some of your passions that you feel like you don't really get to talk much about?
-software design and documentation
-creative writing
-horror movies and games
-game development (digital and tabletop)
-psychology
Usually because of a lack of interest from others, or a lack of expertise on my part... Perceived or otherwise. Maybe ironically, I don't like to talk at length about stuff that I don't think I know enough about or that I don't think people want to hear. I get hypersensitive about facial/physical cues and a little internal timer starts to tick down in my head, and I get just mounting anxiety about prattling on. 😅

I remember you tweeting about being married but also polyamorous. Why are polyamorous relationships so challenging in your opinion?
Yes! Melos and I are both poly and open, and have been for as long as we've been together... a little more than 10 years now. It can certainly be tough to navigate but I would attribute our successes to open communication, a lot of trust, and compersion -- genuine joy from seeing or hearing about the other in situations where we ourselves are not included. Besides the complexity of multiply more relationships (instead of two between two people, it's six between three, twelve between four...!) it can be very difficult to manage feelings of envy, and for that reason it's simply not for everyone. It can also be extremely freeing to realize that you have the power to shed all the social norms and expectations that make you unhappy and don't actually serve you, and having a supportive partner or partners that are like-minded makes it an all-around fulfilling experience.
Being ready and willing to try, even if things don't work, is an important first step that not everyone is mentally prepared for.

Do you have a visual novel you would read, but wouldn’t Voice?
In general, I think a VN that had a lot of added game elements would make it harder to produce the kind of narration that I go for. That'd be fine as a Let's Play or if I were to do a live stream, but something with a LOT of choices or minigames don't really translate well into an audiobook style format.
Password, for example, is one that I want to do someday but I know I'll need to really script out how I do the text entry portions to make it interesting to narrate.

What do have love 💗 most in Glory Hound so far?
Ah man, Glory Hounds is visually one of the coolest VNs I've read in a while, and maybe ever. The art direction is just fantastic, they do such a good job of making it look and feel like you're reading a comic book. And the panel sequences are so cool! It's supported of course by excellent writing and the structure of builds released as comic book issues reinforces the motif. It's really an awesome blend of media styles that they pull off perfectly. chef kiss

Howdy! Hope you’re doing good.
Just wanted to come in and say that I hope you’re aware of just how much your last Death Wolf recording has my boyfriend and I absolutely HOOKED. Absolutely CRAZY good performance. So question: how on earth do you learn to do different accents like that?
Love you Icy!

Aww Pink! 🥺💙 Thank you, I'm glad you both enjoyed it! Short answer is study and practice.
Accents are a TON of fun for me, it's really a lot of attention to details and sometimes really subtle nuance, parroting what I hear, and not being afraid to sound like an idiot when I try to use an accent to say random stupid stuff. It's really an enjoyable challenge to try to get to a point where I can do an accent fairly convincingly.
I spend a lot of time watching tutorial videos, listening to native speakers, and just trying to be satisfied with what I hear on the playback. For Death Wolf, it was obviously clips from the movie, and also behind the scenes stuff of him performing the lines and doing interviews. I think of doing an impression as really just a very specific accent. 😅

Which one can you not go without? A blanket or a pillow?
I can sleep almost anywhere if I'm tired enough (including standing up and behind the wheel). But if I could only have one or the other, I'd wanna burrito up with a soft fuzzy blanket. 😌

I love you
Aww, I love you too no-name friendo. 🥺 I think more people should feel empowered and comfortable saying that to each other. We all could use it.

how many exes do you have
I am old and stopped counting a while ago~ 😮💨 More than a dozen? Fewer than two dozen. It kinda depends on your definition of ex.
