Ur fave 8path ships go. I’m very curious 👀
Hello 👋 not really a question but I was wondering if there was a way to pay you back for the wonderful cyl doodles (The Miru and Silk Ocs)? I’ve been watching the stream videos in my spare time and have enjoyed them immensely, can’t wait to catch a stream live when I can 😊. (Also again thank you for the sketches of my ocs, they really made my day after I got out of work ☺️)
WAUGHGGHH this literally made my day im cryigngn 😭🙏🏽 it was genuinely such a pleasure to draw them both, their designs were so fun to work with! Honestly the support and kind words are more than enough for me bc it genuinely encourages me and keeps me motivated. But thank you so much!! I’m so sooo glad that you’re enjoying the streams too (thanks for taking the time to go back and watch them!). I want to move towards a structure of streaming at least 2/3 times a week, so hopefully more chances to pop in live will come up soon!
Dream job?
not a q but I love ur streams, theyre so relaxing (even tho I keep missing them recently lol)
wahhh anon you don’t know how much this means to me thank you 🥹 I really want to push to do more streams and edited videos this year bc that’s acc where my passion lies alongside my art. It’s so reassuring to hear that the streams have been enjoyable so far!! I am cooking a lot more fun ideas that I’m excited to get rolling after engage is finished too
Do you plan on opening comms anytime soon? Your Alear post are funny and I wanted to comm one of Veyle from that secret bad ending 😭
Thinking of opening them after I get through the cyl doodle requests! Since those are a bit of a backlog I’d want them to be clear before taking on actual monetary responsibility LOL
But thanks so much for the interest <3 will definitely be loud on my account if/when I do decide to open them!
Fav Engage ships?
Alfred/M!Alear!!!!!!!! (Big)
Chloé/Merrin
Panette/Timerra
Timerra/Ivy
Diamant/Amber
Ivy/F!Alear
Alcryst/Either Alears
Zelkov/Either Alears
These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head but I enjoy most engage ships a whole lot. I’m not really into Alfred/F!Alear for hc reasons and then like. pairings with siblings tho lmao
Tell us abt the things you love abt 8path 1/2 :)
I think the big thing for me is the characters! The format of them all getting their own story chapters is a great means of letting you get familiar with them. I love that 8path 2 expanded on interactions between party members too. The idea of 8 completely different people banding together and going on a cosy journey hits home for me so much.
The games are so atmospheric and feel so satisfying to play too. It was nice to just have my headphones in and play late at night, forgetting about everything else haha. The ost + visuals just lean into that super well.
Also shoutout to Therion and Hikari for being my starting guys and making me absolutely insane :) will forever be grateful to them for being the blorbo gateway
how were the results of the alear plushie form from a while back?
Hi anon, thank you for your question! The form got a lot of responses (close to 200 by the end!!!), and alongside both Alears, there was strong interest for plushies of the main four lords as well. Because of this, I want to aim for plushies of the Alears + the lords. In the end the custom design style was also the most popular, so I’ll be pursuing that as well.
Since it is a significant undertaking I do want to take more time on this, and plan to only open preorders once I’ve actually received the samples to minimise the time between preorders + delivering the actual plushies. Ideally I’d like to finalise the designs and suppliers by April/May. I’m so sorry if it’s taking longer than expected, but I genuinely want to give this my all, which means pacing myself and spending more time on research as well. Thank you so much for checking in though, I’m really glad that people are still interested!
Happy New Year! When you start to post about your OCs, will you discuss world building in a thread or the like? I’m very curious to see what it’s all about!!
Happy new year! And yes, I’m actually planning to start off with an introductory thread that has a plot/world summary. I feel like it’d def add good context once I introduce the characters themselves. In a nutshell, the setting is one where everyone is assigned a rank based on a deck of cards.
Also thank you so much for your interest anon, it really means a whole lot!!
how's your new year going :)
first thing: Love your art so much
second thing: feels like a silly question but what are your thoughts on Alear with more dragon-like features? (long ears, fangs and such)
do you have any poly ships? if not, might you have any thoughts on Citrinne/Merrin/Chloé?
I rly like alcryst/celine/fogado and panette/timerra/ivy!!
I haven’t considered Citrinne/Merrin/Chloé yet but omg………I kinda rly love their vibes. I think that Citrinne Definitely spoils her gfs the most. I also think they all take turns being the Smooth One and the Flustered One. Merrin especially would say smth super flirty, only to get a flirty response back and pass away bc she wasn’t ready for it.
panette/ivy headcanons pls
PANIVY MY BELOVEDS
- ivy takes panette for nighttime flights on her wyvern around the somniel. usually she’d be too afraid but panette’s company makes it a lot more peaceful
- when they’re alone, ivy is a lot more cuddly/affectionate.
- when panette confesses, she tries to be super eloquent about it, but the facade breaks immediately bc of nerves. ofc it works anyway
- modern au panette holds ivy’s hand during scary films (panette doesn’t force her to watch but ivy decides to power thru bc she wants to support her gf)
what's your skirmish/training map song, and is it different from your favorite FE Engage OST song?
Omg anon I actually completely forgot you could change the skirmish songs and have just been going w the default LOL….so I guess it’s sort of different from my fav ost song depending on which one?
I would probably go for bloom in the breeze tho! It’s so soothing and not too intense if you have to listen to it repeatedly
