I see your most recent pdf and I remember your homestuck art back in the day and it’s so cool to see that progress. Go you dude

WOW you’re a long time follower. That’s like... eight years back. Mad respect! While you’ve been following me, I graduated high school, got my bachelors, and started perusing my master’s degree. O_O;;That’s pretty wild to think about! Thanks for sticking with me all this time! <3

Also I’ve been messaging with desiree-Harding about ATTYPF this past day Bc I just got caught up on it and I’m distraught with the comment that apparently? Your conversation made of taako saying to kravitz “hey you grew your hair out.” Fuck. That is so good. It hurts so much. Oh my god this FIC

LMAO I'm glad my evangelising on the angst potential here is spreading B)

IT'S GOOD FIC THOUGH PPL SHOULD READ THE FIC

Every 10th question

Are you good at hiding your feelings?

Sometimes I guess, it depends on which emotion it is. I’m really bad at hiding anger or if I’m super excited about something, but most of the time I can hide being tired/sad

What is your favorite song at the moment?

Hmmmm...I’ve been listening more to podcasts lately than actual music, but I’ll go with Be My Escape by Reliant K

Favorite TV shows

I’ve been on a real 90-Day Fiancée kick the past week lol. Some classic faves tho are FMA, hunter x hunter, and any kind of true crime show

Favorite memory

God that’s a tough one. The thing that’s coming to mind immediately is the time my roommate @sentimental-boy and I decided to try and watch all of soul eater in one night, except we decided this at like 11:30pm so we made it through most of season one fueled by Halloween Oreos and Tostitos and stubbornness before we quit. The next morning we made a blanket fort in our dorm room and watched another solid chunk of it. I think we also ended up making pancakes at some point

Favorite picture of your idol?

This isn’t a GREAT picture, but it’s from the very first twenty one pilots concert I ever went to and it’s the nicest photo I managed to take that night. That concert is forever in my top three fave concerts ever

caltalar replied to your post “mmm as much as i love spider-verse, i’m still :/ about the way they...”

I think I read somewhere that they couldn’t figure out her design for a while and basically went “why not fully embrace anime” (which honestly they did..... pretty lazily). I think I also read?? A couple things about how she is literally a concoction of a bunch of racist stereotypes (from Asian American commentators). Overall: lazy, hedging on racist, probably won’t age well (which is the least of its problems)

the original peni parker was originated by a white dude (ger/ard way), so it’s not like the comic version is above reproach. japanese-american schoolgirl who operates a mech? maybe should’ve had a japanese-american creative on that one, marvel. 

here’re some unique, not racist things about peni (in the spider-verse movie):

younger than all the other spider-people

from the future

has a psychic connection to a spider

has a legacy connection to her dead father, who was clearly very important to her

but with one exception (her scene in the finale, which felt rushed and shoehorned in due to the character’s lack of direction) the movie pushed the whole “kawaii” anime mech-operating schoolgirl thing, and they didn’t even do much with that. 

the anime design for peni is bad, straight up. it’s a notable weak spot in the movie. her hair design is lazy and awkward, her features don’t sit right on her face, and if they were going to go anime they should’ve gone more 2D than that. they could’ve incorporated more tricks and quirks of japanese animation.

caltalar replied to your post “hi for literally no reason heres me talking about greed from fullmetal...”

YES!! He’s such a dynamic addition to this fairly solid and stable story that that truly Real and Chaotic weirdness of his puts all the characters into such interesting perspective

yeah because ed and als characters are so interesting in themselves its fun to watch how their personalities interact w greed 

god and ALSO ESPECIALLY FOR ED!!! i always forget this but when ed kills greed esp in 2003 its his first experience killing someone!! he hasnt killed anyone before that this was such a turning point!! i remember one really fucking cool thing they did in the dub for that was when ed  is looking down at greeds body and freaking out the original japanese line he says is like, ‘i thought you were the ultimate shield! hey! greed!’ 

but in the DUB they have vics vapo rub go, ‘i thought you  were the ultimate shield! i can’t kill you!!’ like this double meaning of greeds unkillable but ed being in denial he really just took a life it FUCKS ME UP.... this is all the worst thing i have ever written by the way, and im just looking at it all and being like wow. upsetting i have just typed the phrase ‘original japanese line’. 

also in 2003 greed dies like a bug

ive already written to you a couple times but gdi i love survivor types. i love it. so much. im next on the fanart train bc dammit, i love it. id like to ask you tho: why choose burr as the main POV? i get it, we all love lmm's face and love reading about what its like to fall in love with ham, but why burr? (just curiosity!!) (i loved this last chapter and the grave scene ended me, i screamed, gdi. what a good fic. be proud, i love it)

oh my gosh thank you <33

so I chose Burr because he’s the one I’m comfortable writing. almost all my fics have Burr as the narrator, because he’s who I...identify with, to a degree, the one I feel like I can do more justice to. that being said, in hindsight, I kind of wish I’d done alternating viewpoints with Burr & Ham (I have a version of survivor types through Hamilton’s eyes in my head, lol). but yeah, it really boils down to me feeling like I can do more justice to Burr!!

caltalar replied to your post: So anyway, I’m married now

CONGRATULATIONS

THANKS!

[thinksideways]

Concept: ham and burr talk about their attraction and feeling towards each other and accept the term matelot in their daily lives. Yes. R u feeling this Bc in feeling it (I just reread survivors chapter 9 and just!! I love burr but plz bro!! Just tell him you love him! Oh my god this slow burn is so much!!!)

“Hey,” Burr says, finally deciding to just talk like a functional human being,  “I’ve realized I like dick, and also you. Not necessarily in that order.”

Hamilton grins, “fucking finally.”

They start making out. A gratuitous sex scene follows.
