Does Macaque ever become immobilized because of his enhanced hearing? Such as in loud thunderstorms or if a sound based demon attacked the group and shrieked at him? I’d think the team would be rather worried to find him catatonic.

“I haven’t encountered a sound Yaogui yet— but I’m sure Wukong can handle it if I am immobilized!”

which of arin's peers has the most interesting dynamic with him, in your opinion? any interactions you really enjoyed voicing in particular?

This question is as incredible as your username!

SORA - I approach her as though she's Arin's sister, as do the writers. Although he may feel frustrated and let down by her at times, the love they have for each other as "found family" was always present. Arin could put personal grievances aside and still work together, knowing they would eventually talk through and mend those issues. They each know they would never intentionally do anything to hurt the other. That's an incredibly deep bond and very special to me.

RAS - Many fans were so immediate to talk up the idea of "Evil Arin", which admittedly did sadden me a bit. Arin is an empath who always tries to see the best in others and protect the innocent. He's kind and considerate. There was never any hint at him being the sort to betray his very strong moral code and values. Ultimately, he never did. I think most any desperate lost child with loving parents would have done the same thing as Arin; the most logical thing. He very cautiously sought out the only one offering him prioritized help. Arin ALWAYS kept Ras at an emotional "arm's length". He knows he's ruthless and manipulative. The goal was simply to get any useful info and get out unscathed. It's a chess game against a master player and Arin didn't want to be caught playing checkers. Despite Ras's methods, I don't think Arin truly hates him, or anyone. I think he pities him.

LLOYD - Their connection keeps evolving, which makes it particularly interesting to me. Arin goes from viewing Lloyd as an idolized superhero on a pedestal, to a down-to-earth mentor, to a peer; a caring and well-meaning guy who's just too overwhelmed with responsibilites. There's a very important life lesson in there. At the end of the day, EVERYONE has limitations. At times, everyone is just some goof and prone to mistakes. All your heroes are flawed. What matters is if they care about those mistakes and are actually trying to do their best despite them. I believe that Arin never stopped having a great respect for Lloyd, even though he felt the need to take a different path. Nowadays, he's simply more aware that Lloyd is still learning, but always knew that his heart was in the right place.

"Which universe has the best pizza in your opinion? The slices in Peter-1's reality taste just as good as the ones in mine. Couldn't even tell the difference, to be honest."

oof- tough question. I don’t know what universe it was, but one time I landed in a version of Italy where the people were humanoid cats. Surprisingly yet easily the best pizza I’ve ever had, cat fur and all 🤤

Hey, I really wanna use his monster form in a fic sometime but I really don't know anything about it do you? Sorry to abruptly ask lol

You're good, I love questions!

How to answer this... Alucard's monster form isn't something seen anywhere else in the series or even mentioned besides one instance in Symphony of the Night; If Alucard gets turned to stone by a Medusa head, there's a rare chance he will be frozen in that monster form:

This form more than likely comes from the fact Dracula also has one that he uses at full power.

I have theories that Alucard does not use this form either out of spite, fear of frightening those close to him, or because he doesn't have full control of it.

All this aside, there's no canon info regarding this form, no other info exists. So I say go nuts with ideas.

Hello all!

First and foremost I would like to apologize for my impromptu hiatus. There was no specific reason for it other than me finding new interests and growing burnt out of making content for this blog.

That said it currently stands as my most successful account! And after a full year of radio silence I still get questions and queries asking about my little silly AU. Which is honestly very touching and I cannot thank you guys enough for all the support <3

As such I wanna reward you all for your patience with a Mass Q&A to respond to old questions, and answer some new ones!

I will be making as much responses as possible ^^ but know that content from here on will be sporadic. I may have a burst of inspiration or nostalgia but I won’t be forcing myself to maintain a schedule.

I still very much love JTTW tho, so besides asks you are also free to share your own thoughts as well!
