#nitetime chats

I was looking through your oc stuff (I couldn't remember Eirian's name to tag oop) but I wanted to ask how the project is coming along!

They live in my head rent free and yet no writing have I done.

In all seriousness, I've updated some lore, I just haven't worked on the actual draft in awhile 😅

8, 15, and 18 for the ask game if you want! :D

8. What are some aro headcanons you have?

Lukas and Python from Fire Emblem Echoes most definitely. Python even practically outright said it in the support conversation between them, which was insane. I am rotating them in my mind 💚

Other than those two, I don't really think about aro headcanons that much? I think Alhaitham from Genshin Impact definitely is, along with being ace and aplatonic, but I also don't like his personality so I don't think about him often lol. I once saw a headcanon about Argenti from Honkai Star Rail being aro, and I think it suits him so much actually.

If we're just hitting characters with the aro beam, then I don't know who needs to hear this, but the entire cast of Metaphor: ReFantazio is aro now, you're welcome. I would go for Jaehee from Mystic Messenger too, but my fellow sapphics are already struggling in that game 😔

15. What's your ideal friendship?

One where I don't have to mask and where we share interests! Which is pretty much all of my friendships because I tire of social interactions very quickly otherwise.

18. What are some positive experiences you have had from being aro-spec?

Just finding a community of others like me and better understanding myself, honestly. There are so many things that made more sense in hindsight after I realized that I was aro, and it's so nice to not be making up new "crushes" because I expected myself to have them.

Mutuals turn on your boops to be harassed

[nitetime-moon]

Saw this template on a mutual's blog and decided to do a tier list myself. The criteria is kinda based on my headcanons for them since they all technically live in my head rent free, just to varying degrees. (Special interests be like-)

There is a *criminal* lack of Lukas stickers to adorn my laptop with.

I have it now

[nitetime-moon]

Hi! I've seen you around on Beans's blog quite a lot. I am glad to say I have now become a Fire Emblem Echoes fan!

Also, I saw you like AITSF too? Cool!

Welcome to the cult club! And yeah, I watched a YouTuber called JohneAwesome play both AITSF and AINI. I think I have some Mizuki fanart somewhere on this blog actually.

If you spot some Lukas fanart that I haven't reblogged over at @ilovelukas, feel free to tag me!

Hi, thank you for the Beancret Santa drawing! May I pick your brain about how you formed the ideas? What made you choose Claire, the outfit, etc?

You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it!

I pretty much chose Claire because you specified either her or a character from Milgram, and I thought it would be nice to draw an OC since there is usually a lot less fanart available for those.

I got the outfit from your Huevember Day 1 drawing you did of her and Harry Boisen in 2020, since I thought it was cute. I was inspired by goodbeans' drawing of Claire to add the bow in her hair.

The idea for her opening up an oboe case was because I read that she plays the oboe while looking around your blog, and I wanted to include that as an important part of her character. Unfortunately, there are only so many ways you can draw someone playing an oboe, and I wanted to have more freedom with her facial expression (not to mention an oboe is very technically challenging to draw). So while I was looking up oboes for reference, I saw a picture of one in a case and got the idea of Claire opening up a case before taking an oboe out. The rest of the background was just drawn to add some visual interest and hopefully erase the feeling that she is floating in space somewhat.
