Thank you thank you for your recent lewd set, it’s inspired me to write a one-shot! But I’ve never done it before so I’m struggling to make it sound sexy and natural. The way you write (everything, not just smut) is incredible and engaging - any tips/advice you could give me?

BAWWWWW thank you! Also I dunno! It really depends on how your writing but I find, when it comes to sexual content -- at least for me, subconscious thought streaming in the view of your characters is best. Sexual intimacy is such a ... moment by moment experience. And massive pargraphs of details explaining clothing or positions or the depth of their emotion might feel like a must -- but its really not. TRUST that your audience has a good enough imagination to infer all that themselves, say less when it counts. Actions speaks louder than words, and I mean that in dialoge and in the literaly QUANtity of your words.

Mercykill nsfw pls

I have no ideas in my brain, but take some headcanons:

Angela is a clinical most of the time. Sex and all its facets she considers a requirement by nature and isn't easily dissuaded by anything. Like you could show her a video of the dirtiest porn in the world and she wouldn’t be embarrassed or bat an eye. If anything she’d look at the position and say “Being bent without an arm to support you in that angle causes muscle tears” 

Gabriel isn’t easily embarrassed either but sometimes he feels he has to be in order to compensate for Angela’s lack of it. He’s not a gentleman but he knows respect. So if McCree makes a dirty joke and Angela just blinks, Not its Gabriel that smacks him “Not in front of the doctor, kid”

That being said Gabe realizes that if he wants to flirt with Angela, he needs to be DIRECT and FORWARD or it won’t work. She’s too lost, too focused. He can’t get through to her unless he’s plain honest. No romance. She just asks “Something on your mind?” after a meeting, walking down the hall, and Gabe has to just look down at her and say “I need to fuck you. Give me an hour of your time.”

Angela DOES actually get embarrassed at those times. But not for the words. Just the serious Commander tone sets her off and the intensity in his eyes. 

Honestly, they’ve only ever fucked in a bed twice. They’re so busy, its usual desks, tables, chairs, her OR, his ammunitions room, the ship cockpit or the mess hall at midnight. They check OW employee check-in lists to see what spot is the most unsupervised. Its pretty casual. like a “What about the firing range.” “Its so cold in there.” “That might be an asset, not a detriment.”

While it is pretty calculated, Gabe does get passionate. He has moments that break their routine tension. Moments when he has her against the wall, and shes just so pretty like that, so willing and easy and familiar in his arms, that when he gets close to finishing he grabs her chin and head and asks in a hurried whisper “look at me look at me” and angela does, smiling, happy. He cums best to her smile. 

THEY DONT fuck on missions. Not really. Not usually. There was that ONE time at so-and-so, but it was because Gabriel was beside himself with anger and betrayal from an order he didnt like. And there was no outlet that wasnt shooting holes into the bunker aside from having Mercy scream his name into a stack of unfiorms in a closet. Its therapy to them. 

Which is why when everything goes down, years after, and Reaper is on the run, and Angela is techinically his enemy, they still fuck without questions, burning out anger and relief through moments in places and times between this new mess their in

You've been so quiet, i miss you and your writing!! I hope wedding planning is going well

YES SORRY! Tumblr is pretty much DEAD for us. You can catch us, tweeting a TON nowadays, @aicosplays on twitter. Writing and cosplay has slowed a bit for the wedding. But its coming back I PROMISE. Especially after Fanime and Sacanime which we are attending.

Speaking as a cosplayer who has judged masquerades, if there are other judges out there marking off points for the wrong contacts or skin color, they should be fired and banned.  I have never, ever heard of this practice. Skill in cosplay does not pertain to those characteristics or traits. Nor should it. And I am actively opposed to any who think that accuracy should matter THIS MUCH. I'm not condemning accuracy as a whole. Nor am I condemning Masquerades. But a line needs to be drawn when considering what traits are up for judgment and changing ethnicity should be the line.

What’s your favorite quality in Allura? What draws you to her as a character?

I’m ALWAYS a sucker for a woman in power that doesn’t sacrifice the more feminine tropes. Being a Queen/Princess with that ‘modern’ sensibility of independence and strong will, but still liking sparkly things, flowers and dresses. I love that dichotomy. I really value that Allura VALUES presentation. The way she speaks is particular because she understands that nuance between diplomacy is KEY. But she also knows when to whip out a polearm and smack someone in the face. Its a push and pull.

Not trying to be rude, genuinely curious; what did the leg look like before the photoshop? Did you wear green screen leggings to make it easier to edit through, or just plain black or something else?

Green screen is really only for things in motion. The green is something the software picks up on, and eliminates that color even when its changing places in the frame.. When you’re doing things for photos, it doesn’t matter what color it is, cause you only ever have to edit it once. I didn’t even have to take a picture of the spot where hes standing without him, because theres enough of the environment around him for me work wih. Unlike Toru, who didnt need a green screen, but at least needed some more unseen areas in order to look right. Like how the column behind me met the pavement.

If it's not too much trouble, can I ask how you normally get to faraway cons with all of your cosplay/props? Do you usually try to roadtrip it or actually check the props on flights? It feels really daunting to go to a out-of-state con. Feel free to ignore this if it's too annoying to answer though >_<

We’ve done both! For roadtrips we just toss it all in the back of the car. Sometimes in a cooler with ice packs if the armor is MELTABLE like foam or hot glue. Lol. We keep soda in there for the long drive too. For flights, we have an oversized are portfolio we store things like Mercys Wings or long props in. We get it specially checked, and pick it up in the oversized luggage area of the airport. If they fit in a regular suitcase, we check it, but always add a little paper sign that says “these are props and costumes for comicon!” For TSA to add context (and warn about fragility without directly saying so) when they inevitably check it for the weird blades/lightsabers we have. We usually get notes back! “Awesome!” “Have fun!”
