any possible way to get one (fun) fact about each or some of the cast

I cant believe you're forcing me to... THINK!!! I'm kidding. Yeah, you can get each of em.

- Cooper is strangely attractive to most who meet him, yet he is so oblivious to every flirting attempt that comes his way.

- Sidney runs a Confessional Booth. I've been tempted to make mini comics about some of them!

- Icarus welded in his freetime, now he just uses his own flames.

- Annie spends atleast 14 hours a month dusting his collections. Despite the hoarding, he keeps it neat.

- Egor has a name stamped on the bottom of their foot. They can't make it out.

- Charles was given a loan by the devil when he was shot back to earth. Its the reason he lives.. comfortably.

- Wilson is ratatouilled.

- Ozzy is colorblind. Specifically, Monochromacy.

- Leo owns 4 dogs. All named after constellations.

- Tex takes his time carefully replanting everything he may destroy.

- Kendall has a doll of himself. "Just incase."

- April (comedy) maybe weighs as much as a soda can.

- Elliott has to slow down their own thinking and speech to communicate with other humans.

- Louie doesn't know how to drive, thankfully.

- Kennith goes out of their way to buy the dumbest shirts they can at the store.

- Taylor only allows bottles of Thick water around them.

- Bashal was, and still is, a fantastic football player.

- Jessie isn't an actual cowboy. Western things is his fixation. His house of full of such paraphernalia.

- Luke knows 8 languages.

- Chambara's face markings arent makeup, its scarring.

- Andy swears his mom made him a doll when he was younger. He just doesn't know what happened to it.

By the way, while my laptop is out in the shop, I'll still try and answer asks without art if you're all fine with that. Less of episodes and more of letters I guess?

Just send in an ask with A² (Artless Ask) somewhere in it and I'll have The Producer (or Jack? 👀) answer! Sort of like how the Interlude worked.

Dunno how I'm gonna format this whenever I finally get the seasons all straightened out but we'll burn thatt bridge when we get to it,,

Can we get Tex or any of the Tenna sibling lore snippets :]

yeah sure fun little lore thingums

Tex:

+ Tex is actually one of the few implied that has not ever worked with Taylor. And yes, that means his 20 feet of verticality comes from a completely natural place. The Tena triplets are all biologically related. Dont think too hard about it.

+ He was homeschooled due to being, well, 12 feet at the age of like 14. That's how he was taught most of the ways of the woods, later inspiring his career in lumberjacking.

+ His preference for "feminine apparel comes from a place of both confidence and convenience, as its arguably alot easier to create dresses and crop-tops then full pants for his frame.

+ He makes almost everything he uses himself! All his furniture, clothing, makeup: everything! He even made housing for his brothers for free.

Chambara:

- Chambara only briefly was associated with Taylor, but quickly separated after realizing that he could govern himself better than a label could--or so he assumed.

-Hes always been.. an overachiever. To an unhealthy degree. He has to be told to sleep, and that's even if he listens to you. The only reason he remembers to eat is to keep himself physically strong enough to perform.

-He lost his arm due to childhood osteomylelitis that wasnt addressed fast enough.

-In personalitiy, Chambara is as serious as they get. But, its a constant, ticking time bomb of stress behind it all. He is able to scream the loudest out of any Gashling.

Bashal:

-He had a brief contract with Taylir in where he lost all his life work to their label. Once he managed to leave, however, he took what happened as a challenge to make everything again, just better.

-His eyesight is extremely poor, so poor infact that hes legally blind and incapable of walking without glasses unless he has a cane or guidance.

-hes the one who chained his guitar to himself, a guitar entirely made of stone. Because any good artist is able to create even with the hardest tools and handicaps, and Bashal will prove that even if his fingers bleed.

-Hes one of the most agressive Gashlings. He consistently argues and is ticked off extremely easily by people's actions. Despite that, he will not physically fight people. He has standards, alright?

Other:

-Bashal and Chambara HATE being compared to each other. Despite how eerily similar they are in moral and their self-penance, Chamabra believes Bashal to be more 'selfish' in his practice, and Bashal believes Chambara to be too 'selfless' in his. They still have mutual respect for eachother despite this.

...they both have a slight shared resentment towards Tex however because of how much he cares about his two smaller brothers.

- All their facial markings came from their Tailoring, Tex having drawn his on to make his brothers feel less insecure about having them branded onto their skins.

Will you ever write and post ship fics again? (Not NSFW of course but in general)

Short answer? Nah

Honestly, I don't write much anymore. Unless its some niche thing for my own ocs, i'm not a romance writer--thats never been my passion. Even when i wrote things like that my hearts never been in it!

The only, ONLY, thing i MIGHT wind up posting (if it ever gets finished, that is) is an old au fic that'd span 20k+ words. However, its rotting in my files right now.

hey anon dont look behind you

[gmaus-grotesque-gallery]

By the way I showed the redesigns to three irls yesterday and they liked your designs specially Kendall. they found him really cute !

and they also got super confused when I went “?? HIS NAME IS ISAIAH NOW??” to tb . Oops

very glad the reception to new kendall is good ! Hes the one I wanted to redesign the most since he looked the most like origin jash!

and technically Icarus' name has always been Isaiah, he just hates to use it. Too related to the flesh behind the wax, he says. Too human.

I saw your ship art and was curious: How would HMS realize or even pursue a romantic attraction to one another?

What period after concord, I assume, would they realize ‘oh wow, I want to kiss him, not punch him.’ and decide it’s worth a shot(pun not intended).

course i dont speak for the crowd when it comes to how other people interpret their hms.. interps, but this is mine !

Bias do tell, I do like supernova more than any other ship at the boatshow, but I feel like Mind and Soul do have a mutual respect for one another, albiet tense during cacophony from Soul's side and an almost pedestal-like view of Soul from Mind. Concord would allow them to actually. Bond. And hear eachother. Smth smth, relationships grow from good communication.

And for eclipse, I actually write pre-cacophony Heart and Mind to be somewhat romantic, or atleast so in a "crush" view. Cacophony severs that surface love with their dissonance, yet it still lives and drives their desire to indeed work with one another to be "whole" in not even a romantic way. With Concord come realized, it functions in another "finally we can talk like adults to eachother without pissy-hissing" and allows them to explore thoughts with one another. Which can maybe reignite the lost spark of "love" or serve to repair a lost bond.

Bloodmoon is a little more difficult with how I personally interpret Heart, as he has a. Very intense inferiority complex that he uses against people. So during Concord, it would take some convincing for Heart to accept the feelings of love Soul offers him and bring himself to reciprocate. Soul too struggles just as he would with Mind.

Polytrident would be a strange mixture of all these flaws and overcomings just mixed with the realization they all love one another and kumbaya whatever im sleepy.

So.. summary of this so I dont continue on the psyche of my shitty hms interp for a good 1k words of how each one of them functions: Concord gives them all the time and interest to finally work with one another and discover themselves and the other person through differing opinions. Maybe that introduces feelings of love after realizing the person they've refused to see, or reignites feelings.
