Have you thought of making a discord server for answers

I have, and previously a small one was attempted but admittedly I didn't follow through with it because frankly ig I feel a little uncomfortable with the idea??? Not uncomfortable with discussion! I ADORE getting to chat with you guys and love love LOVE to hear about ur thoughts on the fic and the writing etc!! That's why I love asks and comments sm!! But rather like. I consider myself and my readers as peers?? And creating a space dedicated solely to my fic when in a community so filled with creative and talented folks makes me feel like idk like im putting some gaudy, shiny crown on my head 😭💀

If there's any more public servers yall would rec I'd join tho I'd love to hear recs! I don't really know where the community likes to talk these days and am awkward at just like posting yapping posts of my own LMAO 💀

Are you ever going to draw THE enderman(tm), he sounds terrifying.

YEAS I have plans for it <3 gonna be a bit down the line bc I've got a few other things to include with him but absolutely I gotta. I cannot WAITTTT to do more with him because he's still got some surprises left <3

Kind of a random ask but I really really love how you write Aiden in your fics. I always hoped the blaze rods would get some kind of redemption (rip blessed be their souls in telltale purgatory) and you’ve kinda satiated that especially because he’s not exactly a fan favorite.. how you write their friendship with Jesse urgh it’s just delicious thank you

OUGH OMG TYSM!!! 🥺💖 I'm so glad it's scratching that itch for you!

I'm of a similar mindset definitely--I think there was definitely more potential that could've been explored with them especially given that like. They WERE Lukas' best friends and yeah what we see of them isn't in great light bc it's over Jesse's shoulder and as rivals and antagonists in episode 5 especially, but i guess my mindset is like??? Lukas is a good guy. I trust Lukas. And Lukas seems to be a pretty good judge of character so like, he obviously saw SOMETHING in them that made them his friends and I kinda want to explore from that angle!! They don't have to be saints to have had good qualities and I think they're a set of characters who would've probably been easiest to get back on a better track post-episode 5 tbh!

I don't think they're inherently evil characters or smth, but they're not flawless either. They've got a lot of pride and ego issues and Aiden ESPECIALLY has some kinda inferiority complex going on that got exacerbated post-Witherstorm and leading up to 1-5, but even Petra mentions that they're acting way differently than they normally would in that arc. Not to like psychoanalyze them suddenly but LMFAO it just compels me and I think there's definitely more that could be explored and it's fun to dig into characters like that and especially in a situation they normally wouldn't be in--like when getting along with someone they once fought tooth and nail against! :]

for the ask game - first oc ever? 👀

OOOOO YES !!! Elle Fontaine was my first oc ever! Tho she used to go by Lily Smith and was 10 year old me's ninjago oc in 2011 😭🫶💖

She has come a LONG way since 2011 (happy 14th bday to her btw thats CRAZY) and was actually the reason I started getting more into drawing—little me wanted to do her proud!! I still have most of the stuff I made back then, both traditional progress and the old classic pics made with MSPaint, deviantart anime bases, and a dream LMAO

While I dip in and out of bouts with keeping up with Ninjago I still use her pretty actively! I've pulled her along through most fandoms I've been in in some form! She's kinda my ol' reliable if I need a pc and don't have any strong ideas and I'm glad for that! It's fun to consider how she'd fare in different settings and such!

it's a crime that I haven't drawn her recently, but I DO have some pics of her sim and the version of her I used when playing FO4 recently LMAO

(Don't mind the ass quality of FO4 i was fighting for my life 😭😭)

One thing that's stayed pretty consistent with her character for years however is that she's always been very independent, a little stoic, and a mechanic/handyman type whose main modality are rollerskates and a motorbike! (This is a common trait she shares with two other of my top ocs LMFAO can u tell im a STEM major at heart 😭) Even as a Ninjago oc, despite being an elemental (Wind since 2011 shoutout to Morro bc little me felt so scammed seeing bro show up LMFAO) she always remained a more fringe elemental who owned her own garage and made due through odd jobs :]

I still love her very dearly and she will likely continue popping up all over my projects and gameplay if I can so help it <3

i think that instead of calling them zone cops we should call them zops

I was literally thinking about Zonic and the No Zone crew again today and just talking to a mutual about them a few minutes ago so the timing of this ask is INSANELY uncanny in the BEST way

And that's SO funny and absolutely something Sonic would coin for them 1000% 🫶💙

I recently (like feb) reread your mcsm fic and since then ao3 said I've visited it over 170 times. That's how you know the rereadability is off the charts

DUDEEEEE ANON TYSM !!! 🥺💖💖💖THAT'S SO CRAZY TO THINK ABOUT BUT TYSM,,,, I'm so glad that you're able to get such enjoyment out of it that it's wroth revisiting so often!!! I hope I can continue to deliver that kinda satisfaction especially as we reach some bigger reveals here!!!

I'm still working towards it but life has hit me upside the head a little lately so Im catching my breath for a sec here but I'll be back at it!! :] 👍💖
