Heya,

If you need help picking a WIP to work on, I recommend no. 10 in the list (assuming it's that big; otherwise the last one).

Hi dru darling. Unfortunately ive neglected my ask box long enough that I forgot what this was referring to... is it about my pinned post or a different one?

hiiiii elo! i hope you’re going well darling!

for the ask culture game: 17. do you believe in luck and superstition? do you carry any lucky items or follow any lucky rules?

Hi Sav~! Thanks for asking, I hope you're well too.

I am a little superstitious, and I have to wonder if it has to do with an intersection between my culture and my pattern-sensitive autism. I always want to find meaning in little things. I knock on wood when someone says something I think might jinx them, and I spit over my finger to dispel the evil eye (a thing I learned from my jewish mom). I don't believe in "angel numbers" in the sense that I don't believe that angels are trying to communicate with me that way, BUT I do think it's lucky to see rows of certain numbers, especially 333 and 777.

I'm sure there's more, but that's what came to mind immediately.

Heya friend!

what's something you learned recently?

(please imagine here that one meme image of someone going off and their friend listening avidly with metaphoric stars in their eyes, because I can't find it XD)

hi friend, sorry i'm late on this <3

a small handful of things i learned this week include:

"fax" comes from the word "facsimile"

Atlantic City, NJ, USA has a much smaller population than I expected, with only around 39k residents according to the MapTap game I play

DVDs/their players are actually not all universally manufactured the same way??? An anime whose disc is manufactured IN Japan is lasered onto the disc in a way to be specifically read by European & Japanese DVD players, and cannot be read by a USA one. You have to look for a tiny symbol on the back of your DVD cases that says NTSC 0, Region 0, or ALL in order to make sure the DVD is universally readable. There are 9 region codes in total incl. the 0/All. I just thought this was really cool.

thanks for asking dear!

hiiiii elo! only right if I return the favor 🙂‍↕️ peony and alstroemeria for the ask game!!

alstroemeria is my favorite flower waaaaa~ (or at least it has been for a long time, idk i think tulips and hyacinths are competing)

peony - do you put more value in honour or truth?

i equate them in a lot of respects but if i had to pick, truth! i don't think you're actually preserving your honor if you lie, no matter how righteous you think you are

alstroemeria - dream vacation?

i have many, but top spots include algeria, morocco, costa rica, and greece. :'3 preferably with like 2 whole weeks off so i can actually do/appreciate more than just tourist traps.

Hello! I'm a tad late, but for Wednesday's Who's Who?, I'd like to ask number 3: Which character moves to new addresses frequently?

sorry this took so long to respond, i've had this really ambitious fantasy that i'm going to doodle/sketch the responses to all my asks lmao

world: kiralli (toyhouse)

i'm going to interpret this entirely the wrong way it was intended so that i can show off my under-appreciated oc atticus [the link is currently dead on purpose, she's hidden until i officially revamp his design]

atticus is a courier who delivers mail and fragile packages that one would not want sent over a remote SRP (send-receive point, a type of teleportation only for objects) for fear of it getting broken or read by someone else.

they use they/she/he pronouns.

I know it's only 1 !, so low priority but I'm looking forward to '"Plum Blossom" March of the Fairies challenge'.

Plum blossom is so pretty, and so unlike other fruit tree blossoms, so I'm excited to see what you do with this.

😊🩷 let's hope i actually finish it in march lol.

here's a "first sketch" preview that i think i'm going to scrap. (1) i think i would like the fairies i design to be a little more otherworldly. but i'm really attached to her cute face. (2) i started on too small a canvas and im really a details person, sooo....
