Voice Facade

A headcanon I had to explain Lor's voice changing over the course of the show is that the rough-and-tumble voice she started out with was her intentionally putting on a lower vocal tone to sound intentionally more rough and tough.

As Lor became more sensitive, more considerate, and more in touch with her feminine side over the course of the show, she gradually stopped lowering her voice and the lighter, higher tone that she has in later episodes is actually her natural voice.

And yes, when I have the time, I do wanna write at least one fanfic exploring this idea.

This headcanon of mine was based off of me doing the exact same thing when I was a preteen. Though since I'm male, me putting on a voice facade was due to me wanting to sound more like a man, since I was one of the last among my friends for my voice to drop.

I wasn't the last one though, so yay to that.

Though if I could go back and give advice to my younger self, I'd tell him not to be so insecure and superficial about his vocal chords.

You're only young once.

Note To Self: You Can Ask

I was making a meal for just the second time ever. A meal @cynicaldom likes that I don’t, so I was cooking it just for him. He had asked me to make one adjustment from the first time I made it, with the goal of making the meal less spicy. I made a second change on my own, after going back and forth about whether it was the right thing to do or not, I went with it. In the end it was very bland. We talked about what went wrong - the second step I did on my own had watered it down too much, leaving it lacking flavor. I explained how I had worried it might be a step too far when I did it. I was able to back-peddle a bit and season it more, cook it longer and save the meal. I didn’t think much of it until he asked me a question. 

“When you were uncertain about what I wanted, why didn’t you just ask me?”

I was dumbfounded for a second. I was almost embarrassed because I didn’t know how to reply. I had no clue why I didn’t ask. It hadn’t even occurred to me to just ask him. I just stood in the kitchen wondering what the better option was. I went back and forth in my mind for a few minutes before getting a bit flustered and making a quick decision just because I was tired of analyzing it. It just didn’t even enter my mind to just ask him what he wanted. 

In hindsight, it seems like it should have been obvious to simply ask. He’s always open to giving his advice to me, and in this case, it was something for him! Of course what he wants is best when it's for him. The submissive option still isn’t always obvious to me though. I still have to keep reminding myself that I can, and should, just ask him what he wants me to do.

Trying to figure out an easier way to draw some backgrounds for my comic I thought if I gave each kingdom it's own color scheme that would be the easiest way to tell them apart. Aside from like Architectural details. also playing with fonts
