headcanon: you know how like if you wear socks on a trampoline or shuffle around on certain types of carpet and you get staticky and shocky for a little bit? that's just ien's natural state.

This is absolutely correct!!!

i just read The Woods (and then read it out loud to my roommate who literally got mad at me when i stopped for a drink of water) and it's so good! your writing is very impressive and you have an astounding talent for pacing. it was a great read and i just wanted to say i'm proud of you and impressed by you.

oh jeez thank you so much!!! i have a few other stories set in the same “”universe”” that i’m hoping to put out there sooner or later, but the woods is definitely one of my faves of the bunch, haha.

how do otter and landis feel about each other?

otter and landis become closer in that two year break between antlers chapters 4 and 5, partially (i imagine) because the crocell thing gives them common ground to relate to each other on. otter still thinks of landis as being vulnerable and needing protection, and wants to make sure landis is treating himself right. landis thinks that otter is extremely out of his league and is not sure why otter would even want to give him the time of day. they coexist together pretty quietly and domestically when austin is out of the house, and otter will oblige landis’s touch-starvedness by sitting with him or cuddling up to him on the couch. also sometimes they share their austin-related frustrations when austin isn’t around but they’re superficial ones like austin not eating vegetables.

what was jacob & austin's relationship like when they were younger? did they like each other? hate each other? friends? rivals? has jacob ever been jealous of austin's medium abilities?

they’re only one year apart in age so they got along well as kids! they esp got tight after richard died/they were adopted, because they were the only living blood family they had. they butted heads a bit as teens but they got along bc they were both into the punk scene and went to concerts together and stuff. then jacob straightened out and got ready to join the dpr and became responsible and austin soured on him because he felt like jacob was just going along with what the older generation told him he was supposed to be doing, and not pushing to decide for himself.

jacob is jealous mostly that austin can talk to richard, but austin always tries to pass messages along, so jacob doesn’t feel As bad about it sometimes. jacob actually has extremely latent mediumship powers himself and can sense vaguely when a ghost is in the room, but can’t see or hear them. so he can sense richard’s presence sometimes and that makes him feel better, too.

are you an enjoyer of the d&d or do you also play it? if the latter, what kind of characters have you played? what class(es) do you like playing the most?

I do both! Tbh, I probably spend a little too much time playing, as I’ve somehow gotten myself involved in three campaigns, one of which I’m running.

I’ve played a lot of characters, largely owing to getting my start playing in Adventure League. The main things they have in common are they can do magic, and are queer, sad and/or horny.

The more memorable ones:

Lander, the half-elf Archfey warlock, and my first character. He’d been on a trip with his mother and been lured into the woods by a Fey party. Ended up trapped in the Feywilds for some time, and eventually found himself in the service of the Queen of Air and Darkness. She returned him to his world as her agent, and he served her and searched for his mother until his untimely demise at the hands of some cavalry. Because of the nature of his pact, he ended up back in his Patron’s court in the Feywild, and serves her there still

Sariel/Caelynn the Hammer, probably my most damaged character, the reformed mob enforcer/trouble-shooter drow turned Oath of Redemption paladin. Deeply wounded by the loss of her mother, she left her old life behind, wandering the world and eventually washing up in a monastery. She stayed there for a decade, healing, and eventually took her Oath and returned to the world. She ended up with saving the world with her friends, though she nearly died in the process. In the epilogue of the campaign, she settled down with the party rogue, Esmera, on a farm in the countryside, to raise Es’s baby sister. She lives on in my head and my heart

Ellywick, the gnome barbarian who later got rebuilt into a druid because the we needed a healer. She was chaotic feral mess of a gnome, having been literally raised by wolves. Fun fact: I stole my name off her. Elly --> Ellie

Rowan - my current character, the trans changeling (though she generally looks like a wood elf, to match the rest of her family) Glamor Bard. I wanted to play someone who was something of an opposite to Sariel, and she’s kind of babey as a result. She’s got a big, living family, comes from money, and has had, relatively, a pretty easy life. She’s adventuring in search of her dad and herself. Rowan is also wrestling a bit with the ethical implications of her mind-controlling enchantment spells and powers.

I really enjoyed playing a paladin with Sariel. She could do very respectable damage, swinging her hammers around, and also dish out a lot of healing. Both are quite satisfying.

I like warlocks in theory, because they have a ton of roleplay potential with their pacts and invocations, but I’ve found them kind of frustrating in practice. I feel like they were designed with a much different sort of D&D than I’ve ever played, and having only two spell slots a day, as most parties I’ve played with don’t really do short rests unless they have to, really makes me want to horde them like potions in a video game
