Hey Vodka!

Since you're a lover of both characters and they both desire a financially secure, peaceful life as well no compunctions about playing dirty, I wonder what would happen if SQH and Cale teamed up on a scheme....I assume the gods actively prevent such a meeting because the worlds would burn... Murim world in Book 2 was already too close for their comforts.

I actually have yet to start reading part 2, I’m waiting a bit so the translated chapters can build up so I can binge it. I get impatient waiting between chapter updates, you see 🤣😅 but I know a bit about it so I know what you’re talking about.

And I have to agree, Cale and SWH would make a truly terrifying team.

I saw the nutcracker (ballet) yesterday ($12 standing room tickets). There were a ton of kids and toddlers who were more dressed up than me LMAO!! (one little girl had this adorable cape it was 💯✨) Do you have a fave ballet Vodka? - Wren

You know, I’ve never actually been to a ballet? I think the last ballet thing I ever went to was when I was like, five and in baby ballet classes myself 😅 the joints in my family aren’t exactly the strongest so I probably wouldn’t have lasted even if I had continued.

I’ve seen a few clips here and there of real ballet productions though and I have to say I have nothing but respect for those people. They could crush me to death with their legs and I’d probably apologize.

But, the little costumes sound so cute!! I always loved seeing the students I used to teach get all glammed up for their holidays programs and recitals. They always look so much more confident than usual, it’s adorable. Keep that confidence, kiddos!

Saw your answer to "most interesting thing lately" ask and was curious, but how is kickboxing going? I've been contemplating taking up martial arts again and was curious about kickboxing, so just wanted to know how you're liking it/whats it like as a student? :> (also, happy early birthday! 🥳)

So far I’m really loving it!! It’s a very dynamic type of exercise that requires you to train your reflexes, so it’s also working your brain since it’s not really just mindless punching. My favorite thing is sparring with my trainer with the hand pads and learning different combos and how to throw a better punch. I’ve always been very strong in the legs and it’s kinda fun now to round kick a punching bag that’s probably heavier than myself and watch it swing wildly from side to side

Anyway, I feel stronger, and more in control of my body since I started. It’s a good thing and I plan to keep going. I highly recommend you find something like it that you enjoy! It’s a good outlet after a bad day, too. And all around, it’s just a really good thing for your life in every way to be more active. You’re body and mind are both healthier.

Plus the people are great. One of my fellow kickboxers is this young military guy who likes a lot of the same novels and anime I do and is writing his own novel, so we talk shop whenever I see him and encourage each other to write. It’s a nice atmosphere which is also important. I can’t recommend it more!

(thank you, I love you! 💕)

Can you tell us more about tsun kai?

Tsun Kai is a tinkerer, and artist and an inventor. Their favorite thing to do is observe the innate beauty in nature and recreate it in machine. That’s why their designs have much more natural curves and bends and folds instead of the sharp angles of industrial steampunk. The general idea that the blueprints for every successful project that there will ever be already exists naturally in the world around you is their mentality, and they draw from that philosophy for everything they create; and they like to create. You could say it’s their calling.

What is your favorite holiday food?

My family makes bacon-wrapped dates for every holiday meal we have, they’re a favorite of ours 💖

what's the most interesting thing that's happened to you lately?

What constitutes as ‘lately’? The past week? Month? Year?

Year: I got my license and my first car, a new job, and moved out of my parent’s house to be closer to that job. First car got totaled in October because of a deer, and we’re rolling around to almost a complete year since I moved out. Started kickboxing and seeing a personal trainer to bulk up on muscle so that my little brother doesn’t surpass me.

Month: I can do setting 6 on the assisted pull up now!! The muscles are growing!! 💪🏻

Week: it hasn’t happened yet but Thursday the 22nd is my birthday and I’m taking it off work (hopefully, not sure if I’ll get it off until tomorrow), so I’m kinda excited to not have to deal with any truckers’ paperwork that day lol

did you mean for orochimaru to be a key character in ear to the wall or did he kind of just... show up?

Honestly, ETTW came to be because I kept daydreaming about one specific scene, the graveyard scene. I wrote that out and then the rest of the story came to be around it. And yes, Orochimaru was always present in that scene. However, did I plan for him to be a key character? Actually, Orochimaru is the one who wrote Ear to the Wall, not me.
