If we're asking Charis questions: What's been your favorite world to explore (Scala doesn't count, haha)?

(combining these two! @crystaltikal )

“I love visiting and exploring every world! But there’s one that’s pretty special to me. Plus, it’s really beautiful! It doesn’t seem like it’s completely reformed quite yet, but I still like coming back every now and then to have a look around.”

“It’s called Atlantis. Maybe you’ve heard of it?”

Hey Fox! Give me 1 and/or 11 for the 2023 fic asks?

What’s something new that you tried in a fic this year? How did it turn out and would you do it again?

While not necessarily new, I did write that one piece (Until the Time Comes) that only had a couple words of dialogue in it, and that was a fun exercise. I rely so much on dialogue for characterization, so it took some doing. 

What fic was the most satisfying to finish writing?

I think you know the answer to this already. 😆

Finishing what I affectionately called ‘the tour fic’ felt really great. It had been a long time since I'd done anything multi-chapter and planned out. 

‘We Can Take the World’ took all the awards in the Personal Favs category.

Charis, what's your favorite thing to do with the kids?

“I think we can all agree that we enjoy beach days! My dad used to take me here a lot, so it seems like it runs in the family.”

Charis, did you have to come out to your family? How did they react?

“Well, I told my parents how I felt about my gender when I was really little. Can’t say they were surprised, by the looks of it. They knew I was different from day one. If I had to guess, to them, this must’ve been like…a new kind of different. Mom was more worried than anything else, which was annoying at the time. But she had every right to be. Dad helped me see that.”

“I told Gramps and Hestia when I was a bit older and had a better understanding of it. Gramps was…well, Gramps about it. He joked that I was using my gender as an excuse to get out of doing physical labour (whatever that means). I’m not sure if he fully understood my explanation like Hestia, since he asked way less questions than she did, but they were both cool with it anyway.”

“Even though I’ve been through a lot since then, I’m glad they were all looking out for me early on. I don’t think I could’ve ever been me without their support.”

question for Charis…does Ephemer snore? 🤔

“No, but he sleep talks. He dreams a lot, so sometimes he acts them out, I guess? I’m usually a heavy sleeper, but there are times where he goes on and on and on…”

“…I’ll take this over him having nightmares any day, though.”

Here with the silly and whimsy question for Charis

What are her favorite cookie recipe and favorite fruit? I must know, for science of course.

Cannot lose the chance to ask this even if I am busy 😤

“Chocolate chip’s my favourite! Can’t go wrong with the classic. I always throw in extra chips, but don’t tell my mom about that or else I won’t hear the end of it.”

“And I’ve always liked pears! If I’ve got the time, I like baking them into a tart, but they’re also a good snack to have as-is.”

I’m fully aware this might be a bust but hey I’m curious if anyone’s got questions for Charis specifically. I can do some response doodles when I get home later tonight

[thetwilightroadtonightfall]

(if you’re still taking these) Charis, was there a moment where you realized you had feelings for Ephemer? :3

“I don’t think there was one moment. I sort of just…knew. Each time I thought he couldn’t get any better, he kept one-upping himself. I liked seeing him grow into the person he was meant to be.”
