Not really an ask, but I've been following you for months because your meme game is on point, and I JUST learned that you're the person who made/makes Aces Wild (I have no idea how I failed to notice that 😅)

Anyway, that comic series was SUPER influential to me when i was still a little baby gay figuring out my identity, thank you so much for putting it out into the world ♥︎♡💜

Oh hey! To be fair, it's been a couple of months since I posted an Aces Wild, I think. And Celepom is an older moniker than my pen name "Sally Vinter" so it may not be super obvious.

I'm glad you enjoy my memes, eclectic interests, and work! I'm so happy it was helpful when you were a baby gay. I hope you continue to have fun here! ^w^

i'm torn between two/technically three questions for the red asks so asking all of them feel free to ignore some if you want

For Vee (your choice for When): CRIMSON - What would it take for them to kill someone they know?

For Daniel and/or Alex: STRAWBERRY - What part of them is most like you? Was this intentional?

Vee - Depends entirely upon the person, Vee's killed people he's known before, not always on purpose, not always a bad thing, but not often a good one.

A couple Notables from the Past include: Lysander Aloria, who was his first kill and near completely unintentional. Enea, the head of the People's Church of Final Dawn, who you could technically argue Rin killed but Vee definitely finished it.

Present day is probably lower in likelihood as far as potential for murdering those he knows, he's had to kill patrons before on account of them breaking Damask's no-kill rule, he definitely bare minimum threatened to kill Cassidy's brother when he came looking for her--but none of those are strictly known.

For someone like Hen or Cassidy or even Adrian it would take a significant action or betrayal of some kind, and even then, when it comes to people like that, Vee is more of a second-third-fourth chances kind of person.

Daniel - You know for someone who started out as the main antagonist we share a lot. I know I always harp on about how Jesse and I are likely the most similar, but there is very little you will find in Daniel that you will not also find in me.

However, the biggest offender is likely his tendency towards putting everyone else he cares about and their well-being before his own. He takes care of himself only in so much as it is required to care for those around him. He never really grows away from this, it's the reason he is so afraid of Amalthea coming back, it's the reason he didn't tell Jesse and Moira about his past for the longest time, it's the reason he has so much guilt about what Eric did to Alex.

Everyone else relies on him, so he has to be stable and solid and there. He cannot manage that when memory rears its ugly head.

anyways i'm very normal and well adjusted and so is he.

BLUSH - What is the best compliment on your writing you have ever received?

ROSE - Is your main character right? (your choice for who/what)

Blush - One that I've received more than once but never stops giving me the warm fuzzies: that my characters feel like real people and that the close style in which I write makes it very easy to get inside their heads. So much of my work is character based rather than having a real plot to run with, so I'm always delighted to hear that the load bearing part is actually worth it.

Rose - This is a strange and interesting question to apply to Safe in the Dark, considering there are effectively...five main characters.

With no context given, Alex, Moira, and Jesse are right. Daniel and Isaac are wrong. Interpret as you please.

tree ask for the plant wizard!

Pawpaw: How do you name your characters?

A frankly alarming number of my characters are either: Names I once considered (Moira, Leir), or characters from other media whose name I stole because I loved it (Mellori, Endora).

Some of them come from family (Jesse after my cousin, who he takes some mannerisms from, Antonella after someone far far up the ladder of my lineage)

Some of them just Happened (Hello Daniel just being David shifted two degrees to the left, and Alex slowly melting from Full Name Alexandra into Just Alex Only Thank you.)

Some are references (Isaac's father and uncle being named Al and Eddy respectively, most after the Frog bros, and a tiny tiny bit an FMA reference)

It depends entirely on what I'm feeling like at the moment.

Some characters have been easier to name than others. Daniel took forever to get to Daniel. Alex has always been some flavor of Alex. Tom's name changed like eight times.

I throw spaghetti at the wall.

Sometimes it sticks immediately.

Sometimes it's still raw.

We know I am Creachure

I am haunting you.

you are haunting me

we are together haunting the spaces in which we create things and hand them out to the world or hold them close to ourselves. I am standing next to you in the dark ephemeral void where conversations across hundreds and thousands of miles can take place instantaneously. you are haunting me in the form of the gift I have waiting to send to you, sitting on my desk, not quite ready, but always a reminder of your presence in my life. I am haunting you by inflicting my creations upon you in such a way that you turn back around and inspire me to dig into them deeper.

I avoid the eyes for a reason, I don't always like to see the way they stare, the way they watch and wait for the way I move to change, how it's not quite right, not quite wrong, somewhere enough in the in betweens to be unsettling. Eye contact would just startle them further.

And I am not so cruel as to scare without reason.

soft vampire writing prompt! if you choose to do so, no pressure if you don't 💜

are there any (non-violent) times where the any of human cast under- / over-estimates what the vamp!characters are able to do, maybe by confusing them with classic or 'fictional' vampires (ex: like thinking they can shadow meld or have weaknesses to crosses,etc )

if so... maybe you could give an idea of what that conversation would look like i think that could be kinda cute

Ooooh, yes. There are.

There are smaller scale discussions of this a lot, especially when Carrie comes into the picture and goes "Hey so, many questions, many many questions as a medical professional, most of which boil down to what and or how the fuck?", her quickfire interrogating Jesse to get answers out of him when Alex is wounded (Can I pierce you with a needle, can I still get blood from your actual veins, etc) and her later conversations with Daniel when she's trying to figure out what exactly the parameters of care are when she is Very Abruptly Playing Doctor for the Undead.

There is also a pretty big one immediately after the other two members of the Chaos Trio find out Alex is a vampire, where they are both prodding at Alex for answers about "powers" and Alex is just sitting there like "I have been this way for approximately three months I do not have the answers you want me to have."

Fuck it have an excerpt of Carrie doing what she does best:

“So your body just- just what, how does it repurpose blood into new cells when you’re not technically alive?” Carrie’s voice had changed, her eyes were wide with curiosity “Your fangs, they’re retractable obviously, which is really cool, but are they just to make a hole or are they hollow? On that note, you don’t have to take blood from people directly- are there vampires working in hospitals, taking blood when there’s excess? Holy fuck, vampire paramedics? Turning people who wouldn’t make it to the hospital?”

I love her.

I need to rewrite those scenes because a lot of them are Old. Like, pre Alex Pronoun Change Old, sometimes Still in First Person POV old.

making up a color: light purple! which of your characters would you NOT be friends with. because "sworn enemies" feels way too strong but we all know the friends answer for pink is Jesse lol

(bonus challenge: no irredeemable antagonists if you can avoid it)

(also don't make me set a character limit, no essay this time 💜 )

I think I would probably have the hardest time getting along with Alex to be honest. Which is, frankly hilarious given they were the original protagonist.

I just have a feeling we would butt heads a lot given our personalities.

#I was concise. i could have spoken at length. i am learning i promise #flyingbananasaur #questions concerns and or rotten tomatoes
