hey sorry for being so snappish earlier i was in a bad mood. and im still in a bad mood so can you fuck off

[cookie-apologist]

freshing up before they need you again. and such

[cookie-apologist]

do you have any specific lines from the jack games (or anything, really) that you keep in your head? or, like, favorites. Yeah. Cool

This is such a fun question. I have a lot of quotes from various things that tend to jumble up, just because I love watching movies and the like.

For YDKJ, there's ... I think three? The way Nate says "There's a fungus among us" has definitely become something I'll repeat when just standing around. So is "Well. Im pretty fucking expensive." Cookie's "Hmm. I should've probably put a trap down first" is up there, too.

If we're just talking things in general , "You don't know where I've been Lou!" and "Where'd you go psycho boy? / I wanted to destroy something beautiful." from fight club (1999), "All we've got is that maybe you love me and maybe I love you" from The Maltese Falcon (1941) and "Have you ever seen a shark hunt itself to death? [...] both hunter and prey. pain and ecstasy in equal measures." from the shark (neon noir). I can quote that whole entire tangent, to be honest.

Things tend to come and go, though. Especially song lyrics.

Nate: Ah, yes; Mauve, Violet, Ecru, Magenta, Jasmine, Seagreen, Unyellow, Natural, and Pink! The colours of the rainbow!

[for fun, I decided to actually compile the colours. since “Unyellow” and “Natural” aren’t colours, I used purple (an ‘un’ yellow) and peach (a skin/flesh tone)]

[makaversecolon3]

I can see it…

Someone cosplaying as their Nate interpretation and lip-syncing this audio! (It’s beautiful)

(Also, I think the Un-Yellow was supposed to be a reference to removing oxidation from originally white objects [E.G. Shoe Soles].)

Nate: No way! I’m gonna give it to you but I think we got some cheating going on here.

[anonymous-authors-anonymous]

[cookie-apologist]

I need to figure out what buzz looks like to me. I want to draw him n nate together... thinking about them

[cookie-apologist]

You guys should send in questions I'm bored and like thinking about things

[cookie-apologist]

HI! question! i see the Outfits you put Nate in. by outfits i mean the two outfits. do you have any inspirations for the things he wears or would wear? sorry if this is oddly worded lol

A lot of his shirts are based on disco shirts, actually. I wanted him to look like a very specific kind of eccentric (note: queer without outright saying it) and landed on 70s style fabrics. The fashion for disco was very much rooted in black/latino/queer cultures, which I can go on forever about how those three tend to go hand and hand in the fashion world, but that's not really why we're here. His fashion sense is meant to be very "tv-show host" compared to the rest of the crew, if not look a bit more classy. I wanted him to have a more coherent silhouette, specifically something that can easily be taken for hourglass, in a masculine sense of it. I play around with when things are based, though. His outfits are tailored for him and generally just supposed to feel like they're not from any particular point in time.

I think his shoes tend to be 40s/50s based, with clothing have the 70s influence, and occasionally 80s-90s thrown in. There's this cute little outfit I want to draw him in with a red leather jacket, because it's been in the back of my mind. It's a lot of leather and gold based pieces that are very well taken care of, notably he wears a diving watch on the daily.

Fabric wise, I think he generally leans towards lighter ones (think silks, linen and 100% cotton.) I think he prefers the natural fibers to synthetic by the nature of them generally being better quality and how they hold color. Winter usually is wools and cashmeres, as he says, Nate is pretty fucking expensive, and I really like the idea of it being obvious. His colors tend to favor browns with a color to break it up (blues, yellows, greens, reds.) I think he'd be a warm autumn based on how I draw him. He knows what looks good on him and generally doesn't care too much for the years they were "in style", because trends come around.

His closest is very extensive as an excuse for me to always draw him in something different. He's a doodle I haven't posted yet

[cookie-apologist]

I am one misclick away from wrestling posting here . I would be more embarrassed over it than anything

[cookie-apologist]

I’m lowkey nervous to interact with you, since I’m your pinned post, it said that you freely block.

Anyway, which of the OG 5 is your favorite? (Mine is Cookie, with Buzz in second.)

Hey!! Didn't realize that made me scary, promise I'm friendly!! Usually takes a reason of some kind, and really nobody here has given me one, y'all are all real friendly like.

Honestly? Nate has kind of gotten me into a choke hold. I find him really charming and he's fun to draw. Hes the one my girlfriend said I'd like and she read me like a book before I even got to settle in with the series. Love Nate to bits.

Cookie might be my second place, if you couldn't guess by the username. I unfortunately love hyper violent characters with gambling addictions, and I mean, what can I say? He's mean. That's cute. I think I enjoy him as a sign in host

[anonymous-authors-anonymous]

are you two gay. what other excuse do you have for sharing a cd.

[cookie-apologist]

Do you think I don't even think that you want me, again?

Yesterday, @anonymous-authors-anonymous brought up their smoking headcannons for the hosts, and I haven't really stopped thinking about it. I like talking about this kind of stuff. Nate has always been the person to use a smoke break as an excuse to hide from his problems. it's not the best habit, and he's tried quitting a few times, but ultimately has settled into it being his "vice". It's classy, in an old Hollywood way, so he reasons that it's okay. He prefers thins to regulars, specifically the brand Capri. Prefers menthol and usually goes for their indigos. He keeps them in Serling silver case and uses a zippo lighter . Nate's always preferred smoking alone but has a habit of bringing other people in with him, really the only reason Buzz hasn't fully managed to quit.

Specifically I picture him using this case ^

[anonymous-authors-anonymous]
