WAHHH he sounds so cute?!!? and I do have kitty episodes to share! maya is not the most talkative and affectionate cat, she enjoys her personal space and will let you pet her for just a couple of seconds before biting you (gently), she can purr, but only when she's in the mood to lay on top of someone (happens probably once a week or two) and purr a bit and then leave in max 10 mins. recently though she began purring a tiny bit more... especially at night when I leave my room to make tea and when I sit down she hangs out w me, and when I pet her she suddenly purrs?!;!? after almost five years with her, this is the first time she does it, and I'm def not her fav person in the house (meaning my older brother is her fav person), but it was still so cool!!! love my little gremlin child shes so precious

sorry for late response I thought I replied to it but I didn't?!!? anyway, I kinda go like this in my head - think of a moment when the movement happens, like someone is making a particular dance move and you pause it and think of a specific pose that happens on that frame, if that makes sense? try to think not of a complete and finished move, not just someone sitting straight or standing, but a frame of the movement - someone turning around and waving a hand, someone shifting their weight to the side while sitting and listening to a conversation. I know it may sound hard, but for practice you can watch random videos of people doing really anything - talking, running, dancing, crying, etc. it can be in a movie, in a film, even observing people irl or just yourself! personally that's how I do stuff most of the time, I really enjoy observing people's movements and attitude, how they put their weight into movements. I also just project the feeling into the pose I wanna do - if the person is scared, their body will be tense, especially their shoulders/hands and face, if the person is happy, their body will be more open and their pose can be all over the place depending on their personality (a bubbly person could stretch their arms out and have a huge smile, a more reserved person could have a simple basic pose, but a bit more relaxed and comfortable if that makes sense). when it comes to interactions, think of what relationship the characters have - they may be coworkers, so they seem polite and friendly, but they're not exactly fully relaxed and throw their arms around each other, they respect each other's personal space. when it's a friend or a family, they could be hugging, but hugs can also be different - some are huge, strong and warm hugs, some are awkward hugs, some are comforting hugs. even someone grabbing someone else's hand can differ depending on the relationship the two have and a situation they're in - one can grip another's hand, another can take it gently, third can be hesitant, etc. I hope whatever I'm saying makes at least a bit of sense, but what I'm trying to say is that the smallest details of the person or persons can help you with the pose! their personality, their relationship, their past, you just grab a thing you want to focus on at the moment and go with it! I hope this helps you at least a bit

hii Im fine, hope you're doing ok as well! it's a bit hard to answer since I just finished my 3rd art market ever and I'm still figuring out everything (from small things like what items to bring, how to pack/transfer my merch, table layout etc, to bigger things like manufacturers, how much merch to print/bring etc), and if there are any secret tips for sales - I'd gladly like to know them myself sjxnwkcj, and as for fandoms, it really depends on what's popular where you live! for example I thought frieren would be more popular here since I see it online (on twt) a lot, while here a lot of people told me I'm the only one selling frieren merch, and they themselves were expecting it to be more popular? and same would go with a3, somewhere it's a bit more well known, here it's not known at all I'd say? of course there are fans, but when you go into an art market, chances of meeting an a3 fan are almost nonexistent, and a lot of people come up to the table and ask what fandom it is or if those are ocs (but it seems to be a bit of a better case with mhyk) it's a bit discouraging to table with non popular fandom merch, but I still do it bc I'm obsessed with said fandom 😤 sorry if it's no help at all, I'm a newbie myself 😖
