vati! i already asked you questions about your zine on twitter but this one is longer so i decided to send a retrospring ask. how did you 'double page' your zine on the pdf?
I'm not sure how to do it in all programs, but in Affinity Publisher 2 when you make a new document you can go to the "Pages" setting tab and check the "Facing pages" box in order to display the pages as a double spread. (It seems like there's a similar setting in InDesign under File > Document Setup). Then when I exported the PDF from the program, it displayed it like that automatically!

Are you into game of thrones/asoiaf? I feel like you’d really enjoy thramsay as a ship
I watched a couple seasons when it was coming out but I never finished it. Thramsay is very good!! I follow a few thramsay artists and have read a few fanfics... very delicious flavor. Extremely horny ryona yaoi from a bunch of straight dude writers. Can love bloom in the torture chamber...?

https://youtu.be/CcZxy4EoaD4?si=0YwEmO4geGOpx1hb this video reveals that all during act 1 cazador is in a special underground room called the asylum just so he can terrorize origin Astarion in a dream for less than a minute (7:34 timestamp). Game mechanics that sound like someone’s fanfic
that's sexy... I'm interpreting this as the version of Cazador that is always sitting in the back of Astarion's mind, ready to jump out any time he gets triggered. Try as you might, you cannot escape your past... it's always there, hidden in the game files LMAO

Have you played dragon age 2 because I feel like fenris/danarius was made for you
I have not... 😔 I'm actually kind of a fake gamer because I only play like, one videogame a year maximum, and I don't enjoy typical "action" videogames LOL. I like pretty much turn-based/strategy/puzzle games only. I liked Pokemon and Myst/Riven as a kid, and I've played several of the Persona games (and I liked Animal Crossing)... I only decided to play BG3 when I heard it was turn-based because I do NOT like anything that expects me to press buttons at the exact right time.
So, I've missed the DA train... from what I've seen, people had fun with it though.

Where did you get your cazstar mice? They’re adorable!
I got them as a gift actually, but they're from here! https://www.citrinemouse.net/ I believe both are made with customized colors/fur, not default. Cazador is a rat model and Astarion is a mouse model, (although I refer to them both as rats lol). They are extremely cute and good for crushing in your fist like a stress ball!

Hello! Is it possible to donate towards your zine? I want to support you and your art but I can't afford shipping to my location ^^'
I'm so sorry about the international shipping price 😣 If I could change it I would, but this is the cheapest option I could find... You are under no obligations to give me anything (I posted everything online for free after all) but I do have a kofi if you want to donate/tip that way. ko-fi.com/titilvating
Again, only if you want to! It's absolutely fine to just look at my art for free. :)

regarding your zine - is there any shota content in there? just due to certain country legal systems (sad)
It's just the level you've seen on my account already, which is a strong implication but not really anything explicit. I'm not sure how it lines up with your country's laws, but I would consider it within the realm of taste of like, a mature HBO tv show. If you don't read the text boxes you might not even catch it. However, you should definitely use your own discretion! I'm sorry it is so hard to share art :(

Oz anon here... Omg... I did not realise the amount of pressure I would be under.... God I hope you get what I see In it... I swear its More than generic prison noncon😭but i do not actually remember how long it Takes since I watched it as A teenager... I was just watching A few compilations at 1am and thought to myself 'hey you know who might Be into this'... The yaoi is not at outlander level but obsession(and closed space where you have to interact) are there... If you dont like it I am so sorry🥺😔
LMAO it's ok!! As I said before, my heart is open... I am always willing to try a new show.
Sometimes recommendations work and sometimes they don't, and that is the nature of it... especially for yaoi/ships, there is an unknowable aspect where it either makes you insane or it doesn't. It's no one's fault if it doesn't click. But I always give people's recommendations an honest shot. :) Many hidden treasures have been found this way...

Have you ever watched Oz? It has A ship I think youd like😂
If you mean the TV show about a prison I have not! Although I was extremely into the L. Frank Baum Oz books as a child (I have read every single one and seen most of the movie/tv adaptions). But I assume you mean the prison TV show if you're judging it based on ships that I like LMAO

titi, what you think of straight ships with cazador?
titi LOLLL hmm...... I think if he thought it was advantageous he would have a wife, but like in an old school gay way. Oscar Wilde esque, but more grimly misogynistic. Like well, she is a tool that I use to navigate socially. We have an arrangement. I don't really see him as being drawn to women (or even men) in a straightforward way. I think he would want someone he could safely dominate. A wife might serve that role socially, but since he can have children without bothering with pregnancy then what's the point of having a wife?
(In an ideal world maybe he could queen out with a girlboss but since any equal is a threat, I think he'd prefer a timid little obedient wife.)
In terms of being attracted to women, it's canon that he pays particular attention to Astarion, but I think he's not too discriminatory with the other spawn. Especially since so many of them are white-haired elves.... he has a type regardless of gender. But its more sex as a way to dominate rather than sex as an inherent desire, you know? Is it about attraction or is it about putting them in their place?
Anyway there's many ways to straightship him, even if (like me) you headcanon him as primarily gay! People like to put characters in specific sexuality boxes but I'm more interested in how they manifest under social pressures.

What happened with your twitter, what naugty stuff did you post?!
LOL it wasn't even art I posted! I don't think so at least, Twitter didn't actually give me a reason. It happened right after my tweet saying something like "asexuals make the best fujoshi" started blowing up. Most people thought it was funny/relatable, but I got a few really aggressive QRTs, and shortly thereafter I got a notification that my account was suspended. I'm not sure if they reported that tweet or found some untagged NSFW or just reported my entire account.
This is why I try to avoid making popular tweets, it usually attracts the "so you hate waffles?" crowd and they can get really aggressive for no reason. Oh well! C'est la vie. It's only social media, so I'm not too bummed about it.
(By the way, if you can see this retrospring but not my twitter, my new twitter account is @titilvatin, same username with no G)

the fact that its johnny rotten of the sex pistols in that order of death movie. and harvey 'why do i have a gay fanbase?' keitel. the fuck is going on here. who made this movie?
Incredible things going on in the 80s.... I think more punk frontmen should star as evil gay twinks in movies. And if Harvey Keitel didn't want a gay fanbase he should stop starring in gayass movies!! Also, did you notice the score is composed by Academy Award winner Ennio Morricone? Kind of a stacked cast & crew... I can't believe this was panned when it came out...

I would love to hear more about your take on your millitant Vellioth, and by extension any ideas on Cazador's life prior to becoming a vampire lord
My inspiration basically started with Vellioth's title "the Martinet", which is a synonym for disciplinarian, but specifically with a military implication. (In fact I just looked this up, it's named after Jean Martinet "one of the first great drill masters of modern times".)
So of course, with such a lack of other information, I'm gonna take that idea and run with it. The military, both historically and in modern times, is such a great source of evil BDSM yaoi torture scenarios. Have you heard of running the gauntlet? Blood wings? Blanket party? Keelhauling? Okay, the last one you can only do on a ship, but my point stands. If that's what army superiors do to normal people, imagine what an insane military sadist would do to another vampire.
It's no secret that Cazador is more lenient than his predecessor (1 year buried vs. 11 years impaled) so I think him seeing his spawn as his children is another form of his comparative "softness". Vellioth probably didn't see him as family at all, just a subordinate, more object than person. Cazador inherited his need for discipline, his sense of hierarchy, and his love of violence, but instead of making more subordinates, he tried to make a family. He's so tenderhearted! ❤️
Of course, this ties in with the Szarr family massacre in a nice way too... it's very very ancient warfare tactics for the victors to take the defeated as slaves. And Cazador rebuilding his family back afterwards from the ashes of Vellioth's defeat... how cute! Familial love perseveres.
