Taffeta or chiffon? No,no, I kid. What's Duino D. Duck's most heart-felt goal?

To have the entire world grovel at his feet and shower him in praise and adoration. You know, modest stuff.

After hanging around with a certain blue and white coyote, that DOES seem modest.

what is your favorite spell in any RPG?
Mine is Scathe frpm FFXII

Hmm... that's a tough one... it's really basic, but I'd have to go with Curaja or any variant on the "heal all" subset. I normally run warrior/melee classes across all games, since it's simple and fun, and the only spells I tend to use are healing ones.

"Kaboom" from Dragon Quest VIII was also a favorite.

You recently posted a picture on Twitter of a shelf in your dorm room containing a number of ponies. I'm curious, in your opinion, what do you think is the overall impression your peers have of young adult, male MLP fans? Do you think this view point is limited to geeks? If not, how do you think the general population of your peers feel about the subject?and if you have a roommate, what do you their take is on all this?

In general, my peers don't seem to have an opinion. I'm not very open about liking MLP, not because I'm ashamed, but just because it doesn't matter. Those who have never heard of the show and find out are more understanding when I explain "it's an internet thing" and provide some context, and those on the more geeky side that know the background of it all will at worst make a joke or two at my expense but nothing more. All of my friends are fully aware and don't care- they see it as perfectly in character for me. My pony figures are on my desk and below a giant framed picture of Duino: it's hardly the weirdest thing I like.

So basically, most people don't know, and while a lot think it's odd they don't think less of me for it. One of my roommates is a fan himself, albeit not as much as me, and the other wasn't into it but gave it a fair shot. The reason people give bronies crap is because, as with most fandoms, they forget about moderation. The thing they enjoy could be perfectly fine, and in my opinion it is. But if you go around saying it's the "best thing ever" people are going to start calling your taste into question, regardless of how accurate your claim.

What kind of car do you have? Or what do you wish you had?

I drive a 2000 Honda Accord, nicknamed "The Quicksilver" because it's silver and quick. And because I'm a dork. It's in my parents' name, but when I'm at home it's the one I drive.

As far as a dream car goes... I really like my Accord, so I guess just a newer one. Or an upgraded one, even- digital display, newer sound system, that sort of thing. And devices that stop my brother from changing radio presets or the lighting effect on the CD player to "strobe."

When will you step on the big red X I placed in the middle of the road?

When I darn well feel like it! Now get over here, this pie isn't gonna throw itself!

Your pretty darn optimistic if you believe you can stain my GENIUS face with a pie. You obviously forgot about my insanely quick reflexes during your time away from me.

And you obviously forgot that the writers like me better. :3

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be, and why? :V

Most likely London, since I've always wanted to visit and tour there. Though I'd also lean towards California or Florida, since I have a ton of friends in both states, and would kill to spend some time with them.

London England or London Ontario? Because some folk get them mixed up. I've been to London, England tho. It's fucking huge. Probably one of the biggest cities I've been to. Which is saying a lot since I live in a shitty town in Scotland.

London, England. I like the music and the accents.

Ah ha yeah I hear you. It's generally the first thing I get complimented on when talking to yanks.

Will you be the flower girl when Cat and I get married?

In a heartbeat.

you come across a poptart with skittle sprinkles and eat it all up. Your belly starts rumbling as if your gonna puke rainbows but if you hold your beak closed your going to poot rainbows like Nyan Cat. Which one would you do in this situation?

I guess vomit? It'd be over quicker and be less stupid.

Also, lay off the drugs, son.

what drugs? :V

The best way to throw a pie is?

A. By Hand
B. By Catapault
C. By Cannon
D. By Pie Gun
E. All of the Above

A. By Hand

The others are too gimmicky for my tastes. I appreciate their sentiment but pie-based comedy is all about moderation. You start with a big pie and then there's nothing else you can do. Start with a small one and there's still bare skin you can use for comedic effect.

True; its all about the execution of the joke.

What should I do about my lack of drive to get more work done.

Draw me. That normally gets everyone excited.

Though I'd also recommend being more honest with yourself. For example, if you don't want to work and know you'd have dismal results if you tried, give yourself a break instead. Time away from work normally helps me organize my thoughts more, and also scratches the itches I have to procrastinate. So long as you spend that time coming up with a way to approach the work, it's not ill-spent. Then again, I've always been really good at multitasking, so that might only work for me. Worth a shot, though.

Sound advice.

Ok...more important things then......

would it be sexier to be hit with a mallet or an anvil?

Ooh... now there's a good question... I'd have to say mallet. While anvils are plenty funny, they compress one's entire body and that's about the end of the joke. A mallet can just flatten out on part of a person, allowing for a more dynamic reaction on the recipient's part, which I find attractive. Plus, it's more personal: the person swinging the mallet is right in front of the other, while the anvil-dropper is really far away.

i didn't except you to actually answer that one XD

Heh, now I feel kind of dumb for actually thinking hard about it... though I find toon violence very appealing. Regular people flirt, I like the idea of being smashed by an anvil. It's all the same, really.

In the far flung future i'm planing on a steam roller. :O

Also a good option! A favorite of a few friends of mine, should you need "volunteers." http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9360918/( I needed an excuse to find that pic again :D)

Would the steamroller be a TF catalyst or just more straightforward flattening?

TF, I've been wanting to do a transformermation for a long time were someone get cartoony smashed flat

Your link brings me errors....and sadness

Whoops! Sorry, messed up the parenthesizes. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9360918/ And I totally support cartoonish flattening. Especially if it has breasts, because you draw those well and I like those. Incidentally I also like wearing fake ones. Creepy to some, but I just think it affirms my enjoyment of them more. :D

I'm not such a fan of TG or cross dressing. I don't understand the appeal. But i can't judge. I like cartoon characters which leads into the next thing i have to say......
HAHAHA! thanks. I've been told i draw breast wrong. Which i can actually say it's style. I know how real breast go. I've drawn nude models before. I under how skin over laps. But I've been a fan of fake anatomy for a long time. And i've been drawing them like that on intent. ^^

The appeal of crossdressing for me is pure comedy. I think it's hilarious and even a bit romantic if you play it right. TG stuff isn't for me, for around the same reason, but it's a fine line so I can't judge either. But I really like the way you draw anatomy- very loose and bendy, it's always neat to watch.

Ever considered getting a Duino fursuit made?
And have you any con plans for 2013?

I used to not want one at all, but as I've been talking to more suiters it's becoming a much more appealing prospect. It's still something that I woudn't get done anytime soon- not before I establish regular attendance at a con or two, or at least tried suiting myself. And having a job with income instead of school with debt would also be a situation that'd tip the scales in the favor of getting a suit. Bottom line is, I'm not at a point where I can consider getting one for real, but if I had all the money in the world then sure, I'd get one.

I'm going to try and make it to FurFright this year, since I can drive to it and a few people I know are going. Anthrocon is also appealing, since I'd know a far larger crowd, though I have no idea what this summer holds so I can't commit to it.

ARE YOU A POTATO?

No. Are you?

Yes, yes I am.

A few short-lived ones. The only two that held any water at all were a dragon and a rabbit, both of which got scrapped before I even came up with names. Duino was born just because I liked ducks. Fun fact: I made him a Mandarin duck on a whim when looking at a list of duck species. It was literally "That one looks cool, I'll go with that."

How are you today? :)

I'm great! Sleepy but great. How are you?

Fine and dandy, thank you very much! :D

All the better due to being both fine AND dandy!... the sum of which are greater by far, exponentially!

How tall are you?

Six foot even.

Ah.ok I was thinking you could perhaps be a Greifer stunt double someday,,,
But I am 5'8"

Oh, man, that'd be awesome. W-well... I could slouch! Or maybe cut off my feet...

First of all, why have we never talked before? Also, what do you consider your best asset overall?

In order: I assumed because you were in awe of how cool I was (also circumstance) and my sense of humor. :D

Well, i want to talk to you more now that i know you are not too cool for me ;) hehe

What's your favorite way to unwind after a long day?

I start with some nice drum and bass music while unpack my stuff and check my messages, then watch the newest uploads from my favorite YouTubers- Game Grumps, Two Best Friends Play, and the Yogscast. Gets me nice and relaxed.

Don't know if you have ever answered this, but how did you discover the furry fandom?

A few years back I was really into clowning, since I loved slapstick comedy- especially pies in the face- and it was the only outlet I could find for it. One day I was browsing YouTube's collection of physical comedy videos and found one by Tilt Longtail (he commented above you) and discovered furries for the first time. I explored it for a while, talked to a few to get an idea of what it was all about, and finally about a year later made up a fursona and joined a furry forum. I was really slow to warm up to calling myself a furry, but once I got comfortable it was a fantastic fit for me; much better than clowning ever was.

Expand on that story; How did you decide on your Fursona? I've been trying to decide one for years and find it hard to decide/stick with one

It took place over the course of one bus ride to school, actually. I've always liked creating characters so it was easier for me than some, I guess, but the hardest part was picking a species. I'd always liked Donald and Daffy, so after a few rejected species I settled on duck and liked it. I was talking to an artist friend about some concept art and chose Mandarin Duck at random from a list of duck species since I thought it looked best. I really liked how it came out, and the rest was a process of changing him to suit my needs- removing the wings he originally had since they were bulky, making him more rubbery and cartoony due to my interest in RPs, ect. I've never changed my fursona because it's never not "felt right," though that could just be me getting lucky. I just designed him like I would any other character and he grew to be more like me in the process.

You like clowns eh ;)
I got something you'd like

Are multiple questions accepted? If not, then I just wasted it, if so.

Hey, do you know/remember me?

Do you think we could chat sometime? You seem somewhat chattable, and I do not have many to chat with.

I've got a great question.

WHY DONT YOU EVER ASK ***ME*** ANYTHING!!!!!11111!!!!
