[Tumblr got its shit together a little and finally let me edit image descriptions into the posts that I’d initially forgotten to add them to! ...well, all but two of them. The intro post and the one where Ralsei’s looking sadly at the empty mailbox are still undescribed because “an error occurred” every time I tried, sigh.]

[anyway I’m not dead and have 2 asks in the inbox. coulda sworn I had 3 but there’s 2 there when I look.]

So, what new and exciting world ending disaster is happening now?

N: W-world ending disaster?! Do we expect that?!

S: No worries, it’s fine— I mean, there’ll probably be a new Dark World soon, that keeps happening apparently, but we can handle it.

N: Oh, that’s a relief, thanks—

N: !!!!!

S: ?????

Hey Kris (this is for Kris btw) is Wyoming real? Or is it a giant chunk error? (The second one it's the truth.)

[*How do you know we’re not in Wyoming…]

[*right now?]

Noelle, do you like the summer?

N: It’s not my favourite time of year, b-but I don’t hate it or anything.

N: And once I have my summer coat in I can handle the heat just fine!

N: It’s more that it’s weird not to be in school all the time, you know? It’s not like I waste my summer! There’s track meets, and I go to camp, and I study. But it’s less scheduled, and sometimes that’s… kind of distracting.

N: Sometimes I need something… to remind me…

N: Huh? Wh— KRIS DON’T SHOW THEM THAT!

[Hug Santa proceeding apace.]

[askthelightnerds]

Have you ever been confused about some of the actions or choices you made, as if something else is subconsciously controlling you yet you never realised it cause it felt natural?

N: I don’t know if I’d call it natural, but… I’ve had some nightmares where things felt right, and safe, and better. Like I was cold… but I didn’t have to feel it anymore.

[“Confused”?]

[Kris laughs, and keeps laughing. It’s SO funny, they can’t stop. Tears run down their face.]

[…what? They’re not doing that?]

[askthelightnerds]

Secret Santa for everyone, but they just get to suprise hug them at random points of the day

R: Hugs are good! But I don’t quite understand… Secret Santa?

N: What about a Secret Santa?

N: Secret Santa is a way to arrange gift giving! Everyone’s names go in a hat, and people give a present to whoever they draw. We did it one year with the Dreemurrs, but it kind of fell apart because almost everybody got presents for a bunch of people anyway….

R: So we just put our names in a hat and then we get to hug whoever we draw?

N: Yes!

R: I’ll go get my hat!

Hey Ralsei, how do you keep your fur smelling of candy and marshmallows?

R: Candy and marshmallows? Do I really?

S: Sure ya do, squirt. Whole Dark World does, kinda, but you especially. One of those flavoured shampoos?

R: I think they’re scented, not flavoured…

R: Um… Kris…?

[askthelightnerds]

Ralsei, I get the feeling that if you were in a play, you would be the sort of person who would stay strictly to the script and you wouldn't ad lib anything. Do you agree with that?

R: Well, of course! It’s important to keep to the script; if you don’t, then other people will be lost! Besides, I wouldn’t be a main character or anything, so it’d be my job to make sure the leads shine their brightest, and it’s hard to do that with someone in the supporting cast messing around.

{Hey, I’m still here if anybody wants to send asks! Actually, now that I’ve watched a Snowgrave playthrough, asks relevant to that are also cool, though they’ll be out of continuity with the rest of the askblog which is firmly pacifist!}

[prosperdraws]

Violent Delights by CHVRCHES is very much on the Kris List I’m theoretically kinda making…

[askthelightnerds]

(Hey y’all I’m still drawing these guys, pls send me some asks :p )

[askthelightnerds]

Kris, we know that Asriel has impeccable artistic taste based on the how to draw dragons book. How about you? Do you draw? Ralsei, Susie, do you have any hobbies (dragons don't need to be involved)

[*This description of your brother’s favourite library book dismays and amuses you in equal measure.]

[*You do draw on occasion, but only ever patterns, never figures. The thought of accidentally creating a consciousness haunts you. You turn the question over to your friends.]

R: Well, I cook, and I crochet a little. I mend my clothes, too!

S: Uh, skateboard video games don’t count, do they?

N: I love to knit~

L: Hey, I knit too!

N: You do?!

L: Mostly hats!

N: Mostly sweaters!

[*The power of knitwear handmade with love fills you.]

Noelle, Ralsei... have you tried the moss? 👀

R: Sorry, Noelle isn’t available at the moment. I haven’t tried the moss, though… I think it’s best to leave that to Kris and Susie. They seem to really enjoy it, at least…

R: ??

N: Wh— who’s there?!

S: Hey, Noelle, sorry, uh.

S: Kris felt bad about mucking up your dress with the whipped cream and, uh, I felt bad for laughing, so we got you something. I’ll just… leave it out here.

TAG: “I figured you were a herbivore and Kris said you were so if we’re wrong blame it on them but yeah. Thought you’d appreciate this.”

N: […munch munch munch]

[askthelightnerds]

Susie, how are things with Lancer and Queen?

S: They’re going great, actually! He’s super psyched to have another parent.

S: There’s still the whole thing with Rouxls….

S: But she’s actually really good about keeping a lid on it around Lancer. I… respect that. She’s a pretty cool lady.

S: Even if it’s super weird to have someone around who’s seen all your internet searches.

Q: Yoo Hoo Susie Sweetie Do You Want Some Skateboard Shaped Cookies That Are Actually Cookies Even Though They Look Like Skateboards

[A bit silly to be pointing this out right after I requested more asks (and many thanks to both people who sent some in!) but it’s nearly November! I always do NaNoWriMo, which means I’ll be pumping out 1,667 words of a new draft a day! So while I’ll still be updating this blog it’s likely to be a bit slower for the course of the month.]
