hotel manager
#zeno's art#i'm not sure if i should tag the show itself as i'm not a fan but i guess its “fan”art so i will#hazbin hotel#charlie hazbin hotel#vivziepop#i was bored and wanted to draw something#my main goal here was to create a design that looked distinct and could (potentially) be moderately easy to animate#of course based on charlie's character i added as many angel images as possible through the hair and bowtie#(i know white on white is a character design sin but i wanted to show the angel wing detail ;w;)#also to express the personality and juxtaposition of a sweet devil her horns are supposed to curve into a heart shape#of course the garterbelts are upside-down/st peters crosses because of her satanic themes#i also tried to go harder into the goat theme but its still subtle i think#i actually think the goat theme is really interesting because of the story of the sheep and the goats in the bible#but i cant remember if it was actually something intended in her original design#i'm not going to draw anyone else so dont even anticipate that#this was basically a cooldown? ok i think i'm rambling now#goodbye#ok edit to say it clearly: i am not a fan of vivziepop or her work. i just wanted to redesign charlie as a cooldown/exercise for fun#because i used to be a fan of the character before i wised up about what vivzie had and has done#and before i matured and noticed the cracks and fundamental flaws in her works#so yea i dont support her at all and this redesign is critical i guess#also the reason why the tag “vivziepop” is there in the first place is so that anyone who has that tag silenced can scroll past#without seeing anything related to her work. in case that clears anything up#its the same reason why i tag “long post” and “food” and the like

so uh, in a short time span of events tonight, tomarrow I get to: (1) report an asshole to the police/animal control for animal cruelty and (2) take an abandoned, malnourished, diseased and infected but socially friendly fella who's too lethargic to be comfortable to the Good Vet tomarrow to get completely checked out
and (3) my family gained an attatchment immediatly after holding him so I'm pretty sure we just gained a new cat friend
#i have such a story rn but i wont make a detailed text post about it until i get the cat checked out tomarrow#tw animal cruelty#He does not have a name but I do have pics of the cat#and he's very sweet but he's been abandoned for a while it looks like#it's probably gonna cost me but i have that money saved up from when people were boofing me on kofi that im going to have to emergency use#so if you are a boofer and you read this THANK YOU#and ill try to update tomarrow after the vet in the morning#sara shush

great thing about being an artist is that I can make two characters that have nothing to do with eachother from completley different games interact
Also slight spoiler warning for hsr 2.1 main story in the tags (i ramble)
#the details on gallaghers clothing. or any hoyo design. i felt my braincells depleting while drawing#drawing akito after that was like an oasis in a desert#anyways did you know. that it took me. around 75 pulls. for TWO copies of Gallagher#got Acheron and a lost 50/50 in the process too#i would go for more eidolons on gallagher but i don't want luocha or e1 acheron#saving for bootyhill instead#anyways. many many thoughts about gallagher and hsr#but most importantly i love this eldritch idea of a human#craving more gallagher lore as we speek#idc that he's 'evil' i wuv him#his daily messages are so sweet asdkfminh#anyways. i should also probably read a tl the event story for dogboy akito but uhhh#'m lazy#fanart#project sekai#prsk#prsk fa#akito shinonome#honkai star rail#hsr gallagher#honkai star rail fanart

So. I love this. The way Yuri snickers at Flynn showing his real self. The way he, without hesitation, says "yeah" to the idea that he would die in Flynn's place.
But the most important part of this entire thing, which was changed in the dub, is how Yuri specifically jokes that Flynn is trying to abandon him, and Flynn returns and tells Don he had no intention of abandoning Yuri.
Yuri does not hear this. Flynn knows that. But Flynn uses the exact same term Yuri used earlier, as if it's his answer to Yuri and saying no, I would never abandon you.
For reference:
Personally I just... love the weight of it. How Flynn will say something about Yuri that Yuri won't hear, but he still speaks it out into existence because it's how he really feels.
Just because Yuri won't hear it doesn't mean he won't say it, and in a way that's even more powerful. He's not looking for the credit of saying it. He's not looking to be recognized for saying it. He's not only expressing how he feels about Yuri somewhere that Yuri himself will hear him.
They're just his real, honest feelings, and he'll admit them even if Yuri's not within earshot.
#GTF Vesperia Clips#Fluri#classic Vesperia dub trying to hide all the more detailed intimacy between them tbh#y'all are gonna see it even more when I get around to post the huge posts I'm doing#going through the entire game with the changes they made#and how HEAVILY most of the drastic changes pertain to Flynn and their relationship#like. there's really no reason to change these matching scenes in the dub unless they're doing it on purpose#meanwhile they're the sweetest thing in the original and I'll never get over these scenes being matching scenes#also bc like. this is so important for their dynamic going forward into arc 2#also partly why I truly believe they'd choose each other over the world in specific contexts#but that's a story for another time LOL. for now just know Flynn has gone on record#to say he would never abandon Yuri right to Don Whitehorse's face#anyway you ever get that feeling of like. when you find out from a friend that#someone said smth nice abt you? but you didn't know they said it?#like you KNOW they're saying nice/good things abt you to other ppl now? that's the vibe I get from this#that he's not just saying it to Yuri's face. he says the important things /to others/ as well#he's not trying to score extra brownie points by using sweet words where he knows Yuri will hear him#to me that's the most honest form of affection. saying your feelings out loud where they won't hear you#Flynn also proved himself before saying it as if the idea was to show not just tell#I think Yuri understands when not joking that Flynn wouldn't abandon him#but Flynn is making sure that not just Yuri knows through his actions but that others know it too#and ultimately Yuri doesn't need to hear it. he can believe it because he can see it#Yuri doesn't need to hear it bc he understands Flynn's feelings without needing to hear it

Happy Valentine's Day @artsy-azure ! Here's your gift for the @milgram-valentines-exchange 💖
Fuuta x Minato (oc) ~ The first section takes place right after his T2 interrogation, and then skips ahead to a tiny post-milgram scene :3 I hope you enjoy!
Fuuta thought he would drown. Not sink into water or anything like that; he was worried the voices filling his mind would completely suffocate him. There were too many of them. Too many people, all of them knowing every dark corner of his mind, and shouting into it. It should have been impossible for one voice – one softer than all the rest – to reach him.
Then again, everything about that voice should have been impossible.
“Fuuta… Hey, Fuuta… Are you alright?”
He blinked. He scrambled over to the nearest wall. There were no visible openings in the cell, not a single imperfection across any of the surfaces, yet Milgram’s intercom system functioned just fine. Most days it would just deliver the ear-rattling bell to tell him the time. On bad days, it carried Es’ summons to the interrogation room for his extraction. On worse days, it carried Es’ summons to the courtroom for his verdict.
On the very best days, it would bring him the voice of Hoshizawa Minato.
(Though, seeing as he had just returned from a catastrophic extraction, he wasn’t sure what type of day it was yet.)
He tore his attention away from the chorus of judgements and insults. He pressed his shoulder against the wall, still unsure where the sound was coming from, but knowing it was nearby.
“I’m here,” he said, hushed. More than anything he wanted to yell and scream, but he would never risk it, now. Minato had gone through a hell of a lot to break into Milgram’s systems, and he wouldn’t let his big mouth ruin all that. It had already ruined just about everything else.
“How are you holding up?”
Fuuta pressed his lips together. “Any news on getting us out of here?” was all he said.
Hundreds of miles away (or perhaps next door – neither of them could really know), Minato’s fingers adjusted his headset.
“I’m still working on it. These things take time.”
“I’m definitely gonna need it after today.”
“Your interrogation… I know.”
Fuuta pulled his hood down tighter, tufts of ginger hair ruffling underneath. “How much did you see?”
Minato’s eyes flicked over to another monitor. It displayed the files he’d gained access to a few hours prior. It would crush Fuuta to hear about yet another person peeking into his personal moments, so he opted for a non-answer.
“I don’t have cameras. I don’t see much at all.”
“Tch, I’m not a damn idiot, I know that! I meant, how much did you hear?”
“...Everything.”
Fuuta squeezed his eye shut. He bit a curse back. There came silence.
Minato actually double checked some of his monitors, making sure they hadn’t been disconnected.
“So then, you know,” Fuuta said at last. “There’s no fucking way I’m getting forgiven this time around.”
“You can’t be so sure. The–”
“No one in their right mind would forgive me after that.” He winced, remembering his harsh cries at the end of the interrogation. What kind of accused murderer shouted “I’ll kill you” as their plea of innocence? When he wasn’t running his mouth with threats, he’d been pleading with Es like some kind of coward. And Minato has heard all of it. Fuuta could only imagine the horrors that the extraction held. Who could forgive him after they saw his anger, or worse, his pleasure? Who could ever look kindly on someone like that?
“I would.”
Fuuta’s eyes widened. He let himself sink further into the wall. A strangled laugh escaped him. He let his head hang down. No matter how much he wanted to protest, Minato was as honest as they come. If he said he forgave Fuuta, he meant it.
“Yeah, like I said, no one in their right mind.”
Minato cracked a smile.
“You don’t think I’m in my right mind?”
Fuuta scoffed. “You post pictures of clothes for a living. And in your free time, you plan impossible jailbreaks for murderers. Doesn’t sound quite sane to me.”
“Aw, come on. Do you think it’s impossible?”
Minato was still smirking, ready for some more of their typical back and forth. Fuuta surprised him by pausing.
“Well, it should be impossible. But…”
They’d been speaking for some time now. Whether it was quick comments when Es wasn’t around or long conversations into the night. Fuuta had seen many sides of him, and knew that he had what it took. He wasn’t like the vast majority of internet personalities – weak or needy or inexperienced. He’d proved himself time and time again. If anyone could pull this off, it would be Minato.
“If it’s you… there’s a chance.”
“You’ve got that right. You can count on me, alright?”
Fuuta took a deep breath. The tightness of the uniform and the bandages seemed to lessen.
“Although,” Minato put on a falsely serious voice, “we’re gonna have a long talk when you get out… about that yellow jacket you own.”
“Haaah? What’s wrong with my jacket?’
“There are a hundred stylish ways to wear it and that was not one.”
“The fuck does that mean?”
“You’ll be grateful when someone who ‘posts pictures of clothes for a living’ helps with your wardrobe.”
Fuuta could feel his chest release even more. Minato spoke so easily about the future, as if it were something real and waiting for him.
“As if I’d let you touch any of my outfits.”
“As if you could stop me!”
He took another breath. He smiled. No drowning today.
---
After checking the clock fourteen times, Fuuta thought once more couldn’t hurt. It was still two minutes to noon, just like the last few times he’d checked. His frequent checking hadn’t brought the train to the station any faster.
Minato had told him that he was safe. He’d said this meeting wasn’t that big of a risk. The dust had settled. He just had to relax.
The announcement overhead signaled the next stop was his. It screeched into the station, a slight murmur rising as the doors opened onto a platform of moving people.
Fuuta lowered his head. His eyepatch would surely draw attention to himself, so he kept his hood down and his mask up. He just needed to make it to the station entrance.
He made his way around stiff businessmen and sticky children. He tried to shuffle around a young man, but he seemed to step further into Fuuta’s path. Giving the stranger a quick glance, he started to mumble something to squeeze past.
“Fuuta,” the man said, gaping in surprise. “It’s me.”
He inhaled sharply.
It was only three words, but it was enough to recognize his voice from a thousand conversations.
Fuuta’s eye widened as he took Minato in. It was strange to finally see his face. Finally, here was the person he’d spent hours talking to. The person he’d spent days passing the time with. The person he’d spent nights falling for. Here was the one who had saved his life, in more ways than he could count.
His first observation was, fuck, this guy is way outta my league. His next was, he’s shorter than I was expecting. Then, gah, I’m probably shorter than he was expecting. He was in the middle of realizing, he has the nicest smile I think I’ve ever seen, when Minato crushed him in a hug.
Fuuta returned the embrace. His arms tightened around Minato. He was real. He was here. Fuuta’s hands grasped at his clothes and his hair. He was unable to control a laugh bubbling up inside of him.
“You did it. My god, you did it.”
He breathed into Minato’s shoulder. His chest shook with some laughter, some tears.
For a moment wondered if people would notice the heartfelt reunion outside of the train, then he realized he didn’t care in the slightest.
Minato was laughing along with him in that beautiful, familiar voice of his. No more crackling speakers or hidden intercoms – he spoke right into his ear, hair tickling his cheek. Fuuta could have stayed forever in his arms, just like that. All that mattered was he felt safe. At last, he felt happy.
Talk about impossible.

Now my question is. Does Cacophonix's reputation as the ultimate gaylord precede him. Does anyone outside of the village know him as Mr. Gay. Is he like Lil Nas X where gays all around the. Area. Look up to him as the gay icon that he is.
Thank you kindly, I LOVE getting asks from you cause they are a perfect excuse for me to draw Cacofonix, and if there's one thing in this fandom I love drawing as much as Gaylois, it's Cacofonix. Here's a little comic inspired by your question since I can't help myself:
I can easily imagine Cacofonix on a big trip, having fun and indulging all of the opportunities and glamour of city life, making friends (lovers? possibly? 😳) easily, courtesy of his charismatic and pleasant demeanor (at least as long as he doesn't try to sing). People obviously aren't fans of his musical talent, or rather a lack thereof, but whenever a stranger happens to recognize him and call him by name he tends to immediately jump to that conclusion and brag about it to his fellow village folks, who clearly aren't buying it, lmao. Admittedly, at the end of the day, being appreciated and recognized for being entertaining, pretty and gay rather than for your art is not the worst position to be in, so he does take it for what it is, though not without a healthy dose of fussing about constantly, no matter where he goes, being "strangely surrounded by people who don't seem to understand art".
Funny that you mention Lil Nas X cause I just made a playlist with my favourite bardcore covers in honor of Cacofonix the Ultimate Gaylord™ and Montero is the first song on it.
#asterix#cacofonix#cacophonix#assurancetourix#my art#the sweet homosexual tension of a man piercing your ears in exchange for a date#listen... this is a sfw blog so we won't be discussing Cacofonix's jolly good big city gay time in great detail#it does make me admittedly uncomfortable to think adult stuff about a childhood nostalgia comic... BUT#if I had to choose one character who fucks it would be Cacofonix#I could probably make up a whole story about Cacofonix and his mysterious Lutetian admirer but I have a Gaylois wedding to attend to#and by that I mean I'm gonna make Gaylois wedding fanart in response to an ask I got#lmfao the way Asterix gives him a rude awakening and Cacofonix throws shade at him in return is sending me#what does he know about charm??? I dunno man maybe ask Obelix since he's clearly happily married#they are both such gay disasters#they give me strong gay besties/mlm solidarity vibes#but also it's a great ship imo#I'm all ride or die for Gaylois but if you see my art of Asterix and Cacofonix as shippy I won't stop you#I will encourage you even#it's my second favourite Asterix ship and I'm planning to draw some cute stuff with them every now and then#I wonder if they have a ship name#asterfonix?#I like that#anyway Cacofonix with piercings am I right 😳😳😳

I see a million and one warnings telling me to prepare my heart for whenever I read Meteor Impact but NO ONE wanted to put out warnings telling me that Climax would make me sob from sheer adoration for my precious boys and their growth and love for each other?!?!?!?!!???!????!!!
#ensemble stars#chiaki morisawa#kanata shinkai#midori takamine#tetora nagumo#shinobu sengoku#story time with me#ryuseitai my beloveds…..my sweet boys…..#they love each other and their unit so much I’m gonna die right here and now 😭😭😭#I wish kanata had his own cg as well to complete the collection#this whole epilogue is so damn sweet and it warms my heart and soul so much#kanata taking the initiative and saying his catchphrase first after being more of a go with the flow (ha!) type#shinobu wishing to put himself out there more after all the time he spent hiding and running with his anxiety#tetora wishing to grow be a proper member and leader for ryuseitai after he initially joined because he didn’t get into akatsuki#midori finally saying his catchphrase right and thanking chiaki after seeming the least motivated about this idol stuff#and chiaki seeing all this…watching the ryuseitai he leads grow and become closer and closer to what he wanted#while I still don’t have many details on his past since I haven’t read meteor impact I know he used to be more timid#and was a victim of bullying by the former ryuseitai members#So I can only imagine the totality of what he feels seeing the current ryuseitai that he and kanata built#seeing these first years who he more or less strong armed into the unit grow to love it and work hard for it#and now want to return that love and work to their hardworking third years who are now graduating#me tearing up again remembering how earlier chiaki apologized to midori because he feared he really DID make Midori miserable#that he forced midori into all this and didn’t properly consider his feelings and chiaki saying midori’s smile is a treasure#only for midori to finally reveal how much he DOES care for ryuseitai and how grateful he is for all chiaki did for him#despite all the self doubt and guilt midori felt feeling like he didn’t belong with all these hardworking people#just just AAAAAAAaAaaAaHHhHhHh!!!!!!!!!#I LOVE RYUSEITAI!!!!!!!

A little review of vol 1-3
<BEHOLD the messy warm up doodles (I have way more but they all look like they need to be exorcised). I have been reading Naruto vol 1 to 3 this time (yes I have been jumping from different volumes) and savouring the SNS moments in their Genin days.
⚠️Warning: a bit long review/rant (scroll away if not interested) ⚠️
From the get go once Sasuke is introduced, it is shown that Sasuke cares about Naruto, (heck, he even defended him from Skr even though Naruto tied him up and even disguised as him).
Girly made such insensitive comments (I'm shocked too honestly. I remembered she was mean but not this mean. After knowing the back story + during the time Naruto was aiming to at least graduate, I shed some manly tears), which really shows her double standards between Naruto and Sasuke. Both orphans, but she likes Sasuke because he is handsome, him being alone and serious is 'mysterious' and cool, while "Naruto is annoying" and judges him just like how others see him (also don't give me the reason that oh she didn't know! Well it only goes to show how shallow she is just like the others that were described in the earlier chapters. This is basically showing that she really is part of the mob).
However, moments later after she said that, Sasuke delivers the iconic line (based on translation I have):
"You...make me sick!"
HA. I have seen that panel shared everywhere, but it just hits even harder reading the moments leading up to that scene.>
#sasunaru#narusasu#sns#sasunarusasu#and this is still the earlier chaps#sasuke is brutal#i am reading like a turtle though#i wanna observe every detail#my thoughts#and Naruto my sweet boy come here ill hide you from them#my rants#like how can she say that to a boy who literally had to live by himself?? no parents? no love and care??#and they were just kids too. kids can be cruel#but Sasuke i am so impressed like that boy is on a diff level#goes to show who are the main leads in this story ahem

The weird thing about the elves is that all their produce seems to be gnomish but their pastries have to have dairy in them because Sophie’s talked about frosting and cheese so many times without saying “it *tasted* like __” and then I weirdly have this vivid memory of Kesler describing these pastries that tasted like “buttery clouds” in Lodestar right before the kids find out Wylie was kidnapped… but there don’t seem to be cows in the lost cities? Shannon?
Oh I've had this discussion before I am prepared! Pastries do seem to be the part of their diet that sticks out like a sore thumb because it doesn't match with all the other vegetables/fruits/occasional nut that compose said diet. And the scene you're mentioning is on pg 273 of Lodestar, your memory is very accurate
This may be because Shannon's said the foods and sweets are indulgences on her part, not something actually made to match the rest of the worldbuilding seamlessly. It's the one part she can make however she wants without it really mattering.
We could reason that all the dairy that would supposedly be needed to make these pastries are plant-based alternatives, made with almond/coconut/some other milk substitute that doesn't require any animals. There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan alternatives in the human market, so it's not a leap to assume elves have access to that technology as well. Including alternatives for butter and other animal products. They may even be better since keeper elves are apparently incapable of mediocrity
But then again, we could just suspension of disbelief it away. Or we could conclude elves eat dairy--as they're specified as vegetarians, not vegans--and the manner of production and distribution is just never addressed. Same as waste management.
It's a small thing that isn't entirely seamless, so you're definitely not the only one to notice it! Since it's not talked about, you can pretty much chose however you want to understand the pastries--I personally think of the pastries as made with plant-based alternatives
#kotlc#kotlc worldbuilding#quil's queries#much-brighter-ink#but yeah shannon has said more than once the food is her doing whatever she wants#there's so many rules and details and specifics she has to adhere to for the rest of her worldbuilding#and she has to give it problems to solve and such. the worldbuilding is the world her elves built. not her#(that's the distinction she's made)#but the food?#she can do whatever she want! make it as fancy and sweet and strange as she wants#make the leaves taste like chicken and the candy like three different sweets in one#so we're left with something that doesn't quite line up with the rest#but it doesn't impact the story to not line up#if that makes sense

Not to be a jingfu on main, but it's so cute that Jing Yuan thought of Fu Xuan with those jelly beans
#me: the Xianzhou characters are all just coworkers#also me whenever anyone is shown to be fond and have intimate knowledge of some other character: awwww#Like Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan playing starchess and teasing each other or making a reference to things they like#or Jing Yuan talking about young Yukong#Quingque apparently disliking Fu Xuan but obviously that not being the case‚ knowing what she likes and how she thinks#Fu Xuan hiding that she has a sweet tooth but Jing Yuan and Quingque knowing it and teasing her for it#I don't know. There are a lot of instances of these small intimate details in the middle of what looks like a coworker relationship#Good coworkers‚ but coworkers nonetheless#And ironically it moves me so much? Even more so than Belobog. I've been told several times that Belobog seemed more tight. And I agree#In Belobog people were friends or family or companions but linked by something closer than mere coworkers with Wildfire#Even Sampo in the Underworld was strangely 'theirs'. He had the magenta colour of Wildfire and he was trusted to some extent#The Luofu characters don't have that. And yet the fragments of intimacy scattered through their interactions move me a lot#These are people who have known each other for centuries. Jing Yuan knows of Yukong's youth‚ its joy and grief#He knows Fu Xuan has a sweet tooth and teases her about her height. Quingque does too#Fu Xuan chastises both of them for being lazy but she knows they're smart and good at their job. She plays starchess with Jing Yuan#Quingque mocks Fu Xuan for being a workaholic but is very aware of the weight she carries both in her position and ideas about destiny#I won't mention Yanqing and Bailu because there is obviously more than a coworker bound when it comes to them#But yes I love the moments of intimate knowledge scattered through the Xianzhou‚ so telling of the fact that these people have known#each other for longer than several human lifetimes‚ and that perhaps they don't necessarily regard each other as more than their coworker#But perhaps that's enough in order for them to care. Perhaps in a lifetime over one thousand years the intimacy gained with a coworker#through several centuries is something beyond what we could understand in our decades lifespan#But also‚ perhaps‚ I don't know. Also‚ perhaps‚ the do care beyond coworkers in that strange line between work and friendship#Perhaps it's strange for Xianzhou natives to tell apart that kind of relationship after so much intimacy and knowledge through the years#And perhaps‚ once again‚ as it often happens for them‚ they think they'll always have enough time to tell; until they run out of it#They play chess together. Quingque can lose time because Fu Xuan can't stay mad if she brings her sweets. Are they just coworkers?#We play chess. I know what tea and sweets you like best. I brought them today since you would indulge me and play starchess with me#Thanks for playing with me‚ I'm running out of book puzzles. You keep divining my moves but I'll invent a fake story to distract you#Are we coworkers or something more like friends? Where is the line after so many years?#I talk too much but I love this charged nothingness haha I find it ironically so true to how many relationships in real life develop#And I find it so moving‚ that representation of this endearing smallness of everyday life. Of these small things is life made

if im being honest and allowing myself to vent a bit about it ... another red flag was when the DM went 'wow i love the detail of your backstory but idk what i can do with it tho ):'
#[static]#it immediately made me feel bad for trying to make a character work with the aesthetic she had given us tbh#i could already tell she didnt seem to be super character story driven so i just made a pretty simple drifter-type#for a post-apocalyptic setting n such and made a group that tied into the whole over-arching premise#i also literally just did bullet points cuz i could tell she wasn't gonna want to read one of the backstories i usually do#and as someone who has mostly dm'd in the past i did my v best to make a character that was super easy for the dm to incorporate in any way#like a solid reason for being there a reason for wanting to adventure with strangers a reason for seeing the mission through no matter what#made a whole small faction and connected them to the overarching theme and plot in multiple ways#wrote down lore and npcs she could use for the faction if she didnt want to make up her own#like all the works and all i got was two sentences back about it ... one of them being like 'cool but i dont like the extra details'#aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh#ok im done yelling now i just need to vent for a second#i feel bad for feeling kinda bummed about the experience because this is the first time i got to play at a physical table in years#and i know how hard it is to DM#but also when you come to the table with zero notes for the first session its ... probably gonna be disappointing jkfghdf#i DID have fun however because the party banter was hilarious and it was fun getting to hang out with ppl!#but communication between DM and players was not great#also let me be clear she did like that i made so many connections and hooks into the story and it helped her a lot#she was NOT interested in my character's past like ... jobs or npcs#but also u could just Not say anything about it and just be like 'sweet cool thanks for the info' LMAo
