Yes, this is because of the new policy change. I'm not necessarily leaving (yet?), but I no longer feel safe here. I thought FA would be the last bastion of relative safety against the ongoing wave of Puritan thought sweeping the internet, but I was astoundingly wrong.
Just when I finally have a little bit of an audience on here, huh?
Anyway, is there anywhere besides here and Twitter where I might find most of y'all? Is Itaku any good/actually active?

A Manifesto on Image Generators, and How to Stop Them
Posted 3 years agoI keep seeing a lot of understandable panic from artists surrounding "AI"-generated (I put "AI" in quotes because I feel like using the term for neural networks and any other non-sentient machine is a misnomer) images, and I wanted to consolidate a few thoughts on the subject.
To be clear, as an artist, I'm very anti-automation in my (prospective) line of work, and I do take the danger of it very seriously. That said, I do think we still have time to nip the worst of this in the bud, but we have to be both very fast and loud about it.
In the meantime, here's why we shouldn't throw in the towel.
Why Image Generators Haven't Killed Art:
* Specificity
When commissioning art from a human being, you can explain to them in plain English what you want, and even present a crude thumbnail of what you're looking for, and they'll know how to interpret that. Hell, the artist's English doesn't have to be all that great for this exchange to work; many an artist with a wonky grasp of English has still been able to intuit what the commissioner wants from them. This goes both ways; if a commissioner's English is at least mostly comprehensible, you as a human being can puzzle out what they want.
No such luck with an image generator; getting a specific desired result out of it is an excercise in frustration. You have to essentially futz around with a myriad number of possible keywords and phrases to get something even vaguely approximating what you were hoping for. You can't even compare it to learning a programming language, since each line of code in, say, C++ does a specific, deterministic thing, whereas you can generate endless images with the same exact prompt. When you finally hit that exact combination of key words, it feels like goddamned magic. Maybe that's why people feel weirdly entitled to their favorite prompts!
And that's not even getting into trying to get it to keep a character design consistent across multiple images!
Flailing at an image generator is ironically MORE effort for a much worse result compared with hiring an actual artist, even one with a language barrier.
* Simplicity
Ironically, even the more robust image generators tend to fall apart much more noticably the less complex the artwork generated is; put anything with the phrase "cartoon" in it into one of these things, and notice the way it puts lines in places that make no sense, the way everything looks just so slightly discombobulated when you look at it for longer than a second.
An image generator has no sense of line flow or stylistic consistency (when you're asking for a specific "art style", that's just telling it to reference images from a particular artist, it can't actually grasp the nuances and anatomical flubs that are harder to spot in a photorealistic/painterly context are much more evident when it's all flat lines. And forget it ever understanding the principles of The Illusion of Life!
Image generators struggle more with simple cartoons than they do faking a photograph of a real person!
* Meaning
When an artist draws or paints something, they have a reason and context for it; this reason may be simple, profound, comforting, disturbing, moralistic, spontaneous, pious, erotic, maybe even cruel, or perhaps subconscious. Maybe the artist just had an idea they thought was really neat. No matter what, an artist is, despite what the discourse may insist in the abstract, never fully seperable from the artwork. By analyzing a work of art, even a commercial or commissioned work, we can learn things both about the artist, and ourselves. Even advertising is packed with intention, however capitalist and soulless that intent may be. Even the blandest informational diagram has an intention; to convey information quickly and efficiently.
A generated image has no intent behind it, and thus nothing to say. It is a shallow mimicry of aesthetic. At best, it's a novelty, something to be amused or impressed by, or perhaps be disturbed by its uncanniness. But there's nothing to truly take away from it, not even the most banal possible meaning can be found in it.
Most people (myself admittedly included) will engage with image generators as toys ("haha, man, wouldn't it be funny if, say, the Muppets did brain surgery on each other? Hey, look, this thing's making them do it!"), and then slowly grow bored with them as the cracks begin to show ("Those look nothing like the Muppets, actually"), and the novelty wears off ("alright, I'm out of ideas for shitposts"), moving on to the next big thing like our overstimulated society is wont to do.
No generated image is going to truly stick with the viewer like one of Francis Bacon's screaming Popes, or the 1920's nightmare world of Pim & Francie.
* Conclusion
Going forward, what should we do? With neural networks growing more and more proficient in various tasks, the technology isn't going away any time soon. It's not even like the technology is purely evil in itself; neural net image upscaling, for instance, is very useful for remastering works of art whose originals are lost to time (take a look at the fan upscaling projects for some of your favorite PSX RPGs, sometime). Deepfakes can age an actor down by decades, and provide some genuinely quite amusing shitposts (Omega Mart's "Willie Nelson", a celebrity you can trust!).
One possible avenue is Stigmatization: for all the damage NFTs have done, a lot of it has been mitigated just by the sheer force of unpopularity causing many corporations to back out of doing them. The minute you see a corporation try to get away with generated images, raise the absolute biggest fucking stink you can, mock them relentlessly, make it loud and clear that you *utterly hate this*.
On one hand, outrage mobbing being our default course of action to deal with anything that displeases us has had some very toxic and often devastating implications for those most vulnerable of us, but against corporations and techbros, there's really no other recourse at the moment (unless y'all get started on that Socialist Revolution you're always banging on about. Any goddamned day, now).
It also helps that the techbros pushing this shit are all absolute tools (hello, Musk!), so people who hate NFTs (basically everyone) should be easy enough to convince on the basis that a lot of the same people are shilling for image generators as the "the future", a phrase that anyone who's lived this past decade should be repelled by.
The next is Education, aka "get Folding Ideas to make a video about it": explain to your friends who may be curious about this technology why it has significant potential for harm. I'd suggest we work on distilling the points outlined here into soundbites the way we did with explaining NFTs to people (like how we can all easily recite "it's actually just a very expensive receipt that doesn't actually tie to you owning the thing it's pointing to, and also it's burning rainforests"). Nothing spreads faster than something you can fit in less than a single tweet, after all.
The next still is Legislation: the minute copyright law gets involved, all bets are off. China and India's crypto bans severely crippled that particular market, thus the minute techbros lose the particular legal grey area image generators currently sit in, any mainstream commercial use of these things will shrivel and die in similar fashion.
Whatever action we take, we have to take it immediately. Spread the word around, do all that good shit the Internet is known to do.

I Hate Twitter (Warning, Angry Rant)
Posted 4 years agoArtists, please stop making Twitter your main gallery, or posting exclusives there. It's an utterly garbage site with butchering image compression, absolutely shit navigation, and a dogged insistence that you MUST be logged in to view someone's Media tab.
Can people please just use actual fucking art sites for art instead of making me wade through reams of depressing news, drama, performative outrage, and everyone spouting the Cliff's Notes of Der Kapital; you're preaching to the goddamned choir, here. I came to look at your art, not have my politics regurgitated at me. It's especially laughable when they flee to it on some shaky moralistic grounds. "[Art Site] IS A DEN OF PEDOPHILES AND NAZIS, AND THE MODS ARE DOING FUCK ALL, I'M MOVING TO TWITTER!!!!!!!"
Honey, you're in for a rude fucking awakening: EVERY platform is going to be like this. Twitter could not give a fuck. If anything, they're infamously chickenshit about this exact problem. On top of that, they're known to pull shit like permabanning you for having your pfp's maw open too wide (ask Malfaren about this). At least on FA, you're liable to have an actual person respond to trouble tickets, even when you don't like the response.
Please just PostyBirb whatever you're putting out there, and call it a day. Don't put everyone through all this crap.

ANYONE WHO HAS A DISCORD, PLEASE READ
Posted 7 years agoSo, Discord's just introduced some serious bullshit in their ToS. They've revoked your right to sue (you must go through an arbitrator) and to congregate as a class action lawsuit. You can, however, opt-out by emailing arbitration-opt-out@discord.com, but you must do it within 30 days or you can no longer opt-out.
YOU CANNOT DELETE OR DEACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT TO OPT-OUT OF THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE.
Here's why you should opt-out. https://consumerist.com/2014/02/25/.....n-3-sentences/
Be sure to include your username#discriminator and ID in the email, and request a confirmation email.
Quoting someone else, here:
You can see the added clauses for yourself here: https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/c936.....071b7d0e907632
I will attempt to answer some common questions.
Is this enforceable?
In the United States, yes. This was decided by the Supreme Court in 2011. See https://gc.gy/7538114
In Europe, no. There are many clauses, a relevant one is Article 77 of the GDPR ("Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority").
Why does this matter?
Without the ability to congregate for a class action lawsuit, if Discord ever leaks your data or does something catastrophically bad to a large portion of the population you have no way to representatively sue together without each of you individually suing via the arbitrator.

Something that WILL kill FA, if you do nothing about it.
Posted 8 years agoHEY! Remember SOPA, how many of you cared about that? The comic pages you drew, the protests on loads of sites, how tons of people protested and spread the word and called their congressmen?
Now, there's a similarly huge crisis threatening the internet, namely the FCC announcing a vote to kill Net Neutrality, and I see you guys doing two things:
Jack and shit.
What the hell happened?
Evidently, you people think that when you've won something once, that it's permanently yours.
I'm looking at the statistics on https://www.battleforthenet.com/ right now, and they're PATHETIC.
Do you people not get what's at stake here? Do you think someone else will take care of it?
If Net Neutrality gets killed, we're all fucked. Yes, including you.
To put this into perspective: this site does not make NEARLY enough to pay the toll the cable companies will impose on it.
And given the amount of gay content, pornographic or not (which, to people like them, is about as dirty either way), on this site? Team Cable is going to double the costs every goddamned week like mafiosos, because fuck us.
It'll take you all about 5 minutes to make the call, so stop playing with yourselves for at least that long, and DO IT.
If this site gets slow-laned into oblivion next year, it'll be your own goddamned fault.
And make your own journal about it! This is shit that can and will affect how you live your life, at least TRY to care before it happens.

Introducing my new OC!
Posted 8 years agoThat’s right, ladies, gents, and everything in between, we’ve got a new character! Introducing…
Gino the Goat!
Joining Hodge and Basch in their inter-universal adventures, Gino first met them in a land called Toliacchia, the first time leaving his native Spain, and teamed up with them to fight everyone’s Shadow selves using the power of Personas! Hodge and Basch stayed in that world a lot longer than usual, and Basch found himself falling for Gino, and since Hodge was okay with it, Gino became his #2. Eventually, Hodge and Basch had to leave, but they’d never forget each other.
After living life full of adventures, to the age of 95, Gino died of a heart attack at sea, nearing the end of his journey to retrieve the last of the Seven Lost Pearls of Atlantis, and turned down heaven to adventure with Hodge and Basch again. Heaven, in order to be a place of perfect happiness, makes its inhabitants forget about everyone who isn’t there, and Gino just couldn’t bring himself to join that. Which means, essentially, his departed loved ones don’t even remember him.
Now, Gino is back in his 25 year old self’s body, questing with Hodge and Basch forevermore.
To introduce him, I decided to use a modified version of the old character meme, with Hodge and Basch being present, too.
Character picked: Gino Capra
1. What is your name?
Wahaha! “Who is this dashing, sexy billy,” you ask yourself! Who is this righter of wrongs, champion of chivalry, wooer of women (and men)?! I am the terror that bleats in the night! I am the sunny-side-up eggs you get when you clearly asked for scrambled! I am El Capro Estupendo! *lightning crack*
Your name, kid, they want your name.
Ah. My name’s Eugenio Capra Garcia, but you can call me Gino!
2. Do you know why you were named that?
It just rolls off the tongue, man.
3. Single or taken?
Ha ha, no such thing as a “taken” goat, my friend! “Taken” just means I have the most amazing man ever for a boyfriend.
The rest can join the harem. Just sign on the dotted line, and give me your soul!
4. Have any abilities or powers?
I am a man of many talents! Acrobatic, great dancer, a monster in bed, and, so Hodge says, a real green thumb! Shall I go on?
How about the ability to invariably find the most amazingly stupid thing to do, then do it?
I only got stuck at the top of the Sears Tower that ONE TIME!
[color=cyan]It’s amazin’ you even got up there.
We goats have our ways.
5. Favorite food
Does Basch’s-
[color=orange]I already said that one about Hodge.
Dammit. Well, joking aside, I love watermelon!
6. What's your eye color?
That alluring yellow the ladies (and men! And men who dress like ladies!) love.
7. How about hair color?
White, all over me.
The curtain matches the drapes, is what he’s saying.
Well, you’d know, Mr. Interior Decorator! *snicker*
Kiiiid…
Look, the minute you started dating me was when you turned in your straight-acting card.
Entirely worth it.
8. Have you any family members?
My parents, my brother, my grandparents… Yeah, I’ve got a few.
Aren't they all dead by now, though?
You had to bring that up, didn't you.
Sorry.
9. Oh? How about pets?
I’ve seen people have pets. To be honest, as an anthro, keeping someone else’s feral counterpart is kind of odd to me. It’d be kind of funny if I had a pet goat, though.
No thanks. I clean up enough goat hair as it is.
10. That's cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don't like.
Ladybirds. Little bastards infested my house once, and I couldn’t sleep for all their pinching!
11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
Climbing! With or without gear! It's what we goats were born to do! Also, parkoooour!
He’s pretty much Sonic the Hedgegoat.
I also do fencing, and, yes, martial arts. I’ve kinda had a thing for beating people up since I was a kid. They never laughed at my Cinderella lunchbox again! Urban exploration’s a hobby all three of us share, and I help out in the garden.
When you ain’t eatin’ half th’ plants.
Nobody grows ‘em like you, babe.
Well… you ain’t wrong! ;)
This one’s my favorite. *holds up a potted venus fly trap* I call her Venice.
12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?
Violence won’t solve all your problems… but it works for me pretty often. *punches his palm, grinning*
Was punchin’ that one Jehovah’s Witness really necessary?
I like to tell myself it was.
13. Ever… killed anyone before?
Nah, but I have seen firsthand what it does to your head. It’s not pretty. Basch and I always have to debone any meat Hodge cooks while he's not there to listen, so we don't risk having a bone snap around him. Personally, I hate touching meat at all, but Hodge is worth it.
14. Sum yourself up in one quote.
"Well, it seemed like a good idea!"
15. Name your worst habits.
[color=green]Rushing into situations without thinking, resorting to violence too easily, and, yes, promiscuity. I'm just a dirty old goat, man.
16. Do you look up to anyone at all?
I always looked up to brother Leo. He was utterly amazing, always had such confidence, always sneaking off with me to do some crazy thing together, usually had at least one woman or man hanging off him. Pretty much taught me everything I know. You think I'm a fiend in bed, he was way better.
Dare I ask how you know that last detail?
We were closer than most! *grin*
A-yup, I'm scarred forever, now.
17. Are you gay, straight, or bisexual?
Extreme Omnisexual.
I remember when you made eyes at those giant tarantulas. And then followed through with it.
I can’t help it, man! Those legs, those pinchers, those eyes… *squeezes himself*
18. Where do you live?
SHIT! They’re after me! Tell the kids I love them! *pchooo!*
Huh-? WHAT KIDS?! Get back here, you goober! *laughs*
19. What's your theme song?
Hodge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLcXXz01Tn8
Basch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYfeEARUcB8
Gino: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FkOt2TI1GU
20. Do you have fangirls/fanboys?
Is grass green? Is water wet? Do bears-
Kid, please.
Yes, I’ve got one.
A completely true statement. <3
21. What are you most afraid of?
Pagans. You know what they do to us goats!
22. What do you usually wear?
Lots of pink makeup on my nose, a cute pink bow, pink nail polish, a polo shirt, pink-and-black striped legwarmers (to cover up the massive scar I got from that time my leg nearly got torn all the way off) and short-shorts. I’ve never killed anyone, but you know I’m dressed for it! *wink*
23. What kind of present would you want for your birthday?
Aw, shucks, you don’ have to get me anything! Still, if you insist, somethin’ handmade.
Funny you say that! I made you a sweater from my shed fur. I know it’s not the best…
∑(O_O;) A sweater for what, a shoggoth?
Basch, please. I love it, Gino.
As for me, I'll just have a nice tasty treat; I’d want a big cake, with one or both of you popping out of it.
Wouldn’ that make it too hairy to eat?
Who said I’d be eating the cake? *licks upper lip*
Oh, you. *bashful grin*
24. Drink?
Yes. I'm partial to a Bellini cocktail, although anything sweet and fruity will do.
You mean like you?
Yes, exactly.
25. Conventions??
Basch takes me to a few. I’m a natural for Asriel!
26. What class are you (low class, middle class, high class)?
Middle.
27. How many friends do you have?
How many particles of air have you breathed?
He's not kidding. Everywhere we go, there's always at least one time where he goes "AAAAA!" like a girl, and glomps some old friend of his.
28. What are your thoughts on pie?
That Hodge’s is the best, hands down.
Evidently! I take my eye off you for one second, and the whole pie is gone before I can even get a slice.
30. How many pillows do you sleep with?
Whichever ones Hodge lets us keep.
I ain’t that big a pillow hog, am I?
You are, honey, but I don’t care. I’ve got you to lie on. <3
And I’ve got you, Basch.
31. What's your favorite place?
Wherever Hodge and Basch are.
Oh, you! *hugs the goat*
*bleats contentedly*
32. Are you interested in anyone~?
All of you.
33. What colour are your beans?
Why don't you come here and find out?
34. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?
Either or! Although there was that one time I had to punch out a shark.
35. What's your type?
Basch. ;)
36. Any fetishes?
I've got a thing for really rough play.
Every time we have sex, before we get into it, he always, always shouts “ARE YOU READY?! ARE YOU READY?! LET’S GET IT ON!” to get in the mood.
37. Fly or walk?
Man, I WISH I could fly!
I remember the time you tried to pull a Daedalus with actual bird feathers. Jesus fuck, kid, what were you thinking?
That it’d be fun.
38. Camping or indoors?
Camping! Ah, the good old days of roasting marshmallows, singing campfire songs, and getting wasted off a six pack of beer your brother brought with him. Best childhood. <3 Not to mention, it's how I met my first boyfriend; he was lurking outside my tent, and I ended up kicking him in the schnoz. He was a werewolf living in hiding. I still miss him.
39. You’re suddenly on an adventure! Where do you go, and what do you do?
Travelin’ th’ world in search o’ th’ Five Sacred Herbs that, when combined, will create th’ Ultimate Breakfast Tea!
In the isle of Nippon, there is a mountain known as Yagiyama, where a temple said to contain the legendary blade Kusayagi-no-Tsurugi is said to lie, yet no one who enters the temple in search of it has ever lived to tell the tale. It is said that only one of Miyamoto Yagi’s line can claim the treasure within. I am the one destined to retrieve it.
Kid, how the hell could you be descended from Japanese goats? You’re a Spaniard.
My family line gets around.
Whaaaatever, kid.
40. You’re going into battle/on a mission! What song is your anthem?
Hodge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhGBOg0Gcp8
Basch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1p0bLkNGa0
Gino: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfqHccJ-6Js
Happy April Fools’ Day, everyone!
Gino the Goat!
Joining Hodge and Basch in their inter-universal adventures, Gino first met them in a land called Toliacchia, the first time leaving his native Spain, and teamed up with them to fight everyone’s Shadow selves using the power of Personas! Hodge and Basch stayed in that world a lot longer than usual, and Basch found himself falling for Gino, and since Hodge was okay with it, Gino became his #2. Eventually, Hodge and Basch had to leave, but they’d never forget each other.
After living life full of adventures, to the age of 95, Gino died of a heart attack at sea, nearing the end of his journey to retrieve the last of the Seven Lost Pearls of Atlantis, and turned down heaven to adventure with Hodge and Basch again. Heaven, in order to be a place of perfect happiness, makes its inhabitants forget about everyone who isn’t there, and Gino just couldn’t bring himself to join that. Which means, essentially, his departed loved ones don’t even remember him.
Now, Gino is back in his 25 year old self’s body, questing with Hodge and Basch forevermore.
To introduce him, I decided to use a modified version of the old character meme, with Hodge and Basch being present, too.
Character picked: Gino Capra
1. What is your name?
Wahaha! “Who is this dashing, sexy billy,” you ask yourself! Who is this righter of wrongs, champion of chivalry, wooer of women (and men)?! I am the terror that bleats in the night! I am the sunny-side-up eggs you get when you clearly asked for scrambled! I am El Capro Estupendo! *lightning crack*
Your name, kid, they want your name.
Ah. My name’s Eugenio Capra Garcia, but you can call me Gino!
2. Do you know why you were named that?
It just rolls off the tongue, man.
3. Single or taken?
Ha ha, no such thing as a “taken” goat, my friend! “Taken” just means I have the most amazing man ever for a boyfriend.
The rest can join the harem. Just sign on the dotted line, and give me your soul!
4. Have any abilities or powers?
I am a man of many talents! Acrobatic, great dancer, a monster in bed, and, so Hodge says, a real green thumb! Shall I go on?
How about the ability to invariably find the most amazingly stupid thing to do, then do it?

Characters picked: Hodge and Basch
1. What is your name?
Look up, ya ding-dongs. XD
2. Do you know why you were named that?
I picked my own name; I'm a Hodgepodge o' people's memories, my body's a Hybrid of what these people were like.
Hell if I know. *shrug*
3. Single or taken?
He's mine, bitches! All mine, haha! >:D
Basch, really...
4. Have any abilities or powers?
You mean besides being one of the two sexiest fuckers in the universe? Well, I can use fire magic, and withstand temperatures that would kill most people. Hell, I can literally set myself on fire and not have it hurt at all, and my body heat's naturally really high, so much so that my sweat instantly becomes steam. Face it, I'm hotter than you guys. :U
Alright Basch, we've had 'bout enough o' that.
Right, right, I hear ya.
Anyhow, aside from bein' the other party in Basch's opening question, I'm quite strong, I can run real fast on all fours, an' people recall things better when I'm around! 'course, I also give people a strong feelin' o' deja vu, an' I smell like somethin' you have fond memories of.
5. Favorite food
Oh my word, what a question! Well-
*shuts Hodge's muzzle with his hand* Nuh-uh, not again! You never decide on one, even hours later.
6. What's your eye color?
Red. As in, my irises are red, not "I'm chopping onions" red.
Mine's th' very loveliest shade o' green! Now, look all you want, I don't take eye contact as a threat. I can't blame you for wantin' to look! <3
7. How about hair color?
Gray with white patterns an', a cute white tuft on my head!
Most of my fur is black, with some fluffy orange hair on my goatee, chest, armpits, lower abdomen, and pubic.
8. Have you any family members?
Not unless you count th' people whose memories I am...
Nope, they're all dead. I'm 326 years old, it happens.
9. Oh? How about pets?
You could count Hodge. <3
10. That's cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don't like.
Anxiety. I'm always worried that things are a little TOO good right now, that something's going to happen to take it all away from me again.
Th' fact that the reason I exist is because so many worlds and people have been snuffed out. It's a kind o' survivor's guilt; am I doin' enough? Have I earned this?
11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
Well, truth is, I love programming, and gaming, but my real passion is exploring abandoned places. You never know what you'll find in places like those; sometimes it's neat, sometimes it's depressing, and sometimes it's completely fucking terrifying. Never really gets dull, for Hodge and I. :) We both love to cosplay, of course.
I occasionally try my hand at desserts an' more lavish kinds o' food, on special occasions. What I really love, as Basch mentioned, is cosplay! And, for that matter, wearin' costumes in general! I like to dress in drag every so often, too, an' Basch is usually th' one who sews the-"
Honey, please!
Basch, it's nothin' to be ashamed of! You're real talented with sewing!
Yeah, but it kind of kills the whole "straight-acting" thing. The last thing I want is for people to think I'm some "You go girl!" guy. :V
12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?
I wish I could say no...
Eh, haven't we all. I just wish I could say they all deserved it...
13. Ever… killed anyone before?
...
Not willingly, no. As for him, it was an accident. NEXT!
14. What kind of animal are you?
A wild one in bed. ;) Species-wise, I'm a serrajoe.
15. Name your worst habits.
None! I'm practically perfect in every way! :)
Oh, Christ... You're not Mary Poppins, hon. Anyway, his worst habit is pretty obvious right now; I pretty much have to drag him away from mirrors, or he'll just spend hours flexing in front of them. He's also indecisive. Every time I make a decision between multiple choices, he goes "or you could also do X, if you want", and then I basically doubt my previous decision, and it takes way longer to decide anything that it should. Mine is basically being a mercurial, conceited dick. :V
16. Do you look up to anyone at all?
Nobody, really. I'm too good an example myself! *proud smile*
Oh, Christ... I admittedly do look up to Hodge, though, to an extent.
17. Are you gay, straight, or bisexual?
I'm pansexual, myself, though I ain't really much of a sexual person to begin with.
I'm a fag and proud of it. XD
18. Where do you live?
Depends on which world we're in, but in between, we live in End of the World, a place made from the remains of worlds that were destroyed. Basch an' I've built a lovely house there, an' a temple, an' a library, an'...
19. What do you do in your spare time??
Aforementioned hobbies. :V
I love to work out! It's hard work, stayin' this gorgeous! *flex* Look all you want, I won't blame you. <3
20. Do you have fangirls/fanboys?
Well, for someone like yours truly, it'd be inevitable!
Yeah, yeah... Well, you could count me among them.
21. What are you most afraid of?
That all this could go away.
Another world dyin' because I failed.
22. What do you usually wear?
As little as I can get away with; I'm usually ass-naked around the house. Seriously, what jackass thought it made sense to force people to wear clothes when they didn't need to?
I usually jus' wear shorts; they're comfy and easy to wear! If I absolutely must wear a shirt, it's usually a tank-top or muscle shirt.
23. What's one food that tempts you?
Didn't you already ask this? If I say "Hodge's dick", will that be enough?
24. Drink?
Why, yes, I do! Wine is th' drink of the gods. :)
25. Conventions??
Basch loves takin' me to those! Last time, I dressed as Kenshiro, at Basch's consistence.
Insistence, honey. I won't lie, I literally squealed when I got him to say "You are already dead." <3
26. What class are you (low class, middle class, high class)?
I'm a class all my own! You may kneel. :)
27. How many friends do you have?
More than I can count!
Ture, but it's not like you can count all that high. XD
28. What are your thoughts on pie?
Pi is bullshit, long live Tau: http://www.livescience.com/14836-pi-wrong-tau.html
30. Favorite hobby?
*ZOT*
31. What's your favorite place?
Wherever Basch is! <3 Especially when he's at flea markets.
32. Are you interested in anyone~?
Who the fuck do you think? XD
33. What colour are your beans?
Black. What did you expect? XD Hodge has internal testes and a slit, like a lizard, and his dick is blue.
34. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?
NEITHER! I FUCKING HATE WATER! HATE HATE HATE IT!
Y'know your body's about 50%-65% water, ri-
AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
35. What's your type?
Hodge. Seriously, he IS my type, period.
Basch. <3
36. Any fetishes?
Hypnosis is my particular kink, though pet play's pretty nice, too.
Pet play's my favorite. In particular, I like bein' put on a leash, an' whatever else Basch comes up with during hypnosis.
37. Fly or walk?
Both: Walk.
38. Camping or indoors?
Campin'!
Indoors.
39. Where does your human live??
I knew it, you're stalking me! >:0
40. Who will you share this with??
Everyone reading it. :V
So, I tag
SilentSelene 
lilaira

You mean besides being one of the two sexiest fuckers in the universe? Well, I can use fire magic, and withstand temperatures that would kill most people. Hell, I can literally set myself on fire and not have it hurt at all, and my body heat's naturally really high, so much so that my sweat instantly becomes steam. Face it, I'm hotter than you guys. :U
Alright Basch, we've had 'bout enough o' that.
Right, right, I hear ya.
Anyhow, aside from bein' the other party in Basch's opening question, I'm quite strong, I can run real fast on all fours, an' people recall things better when I'm around! 'course, I also give people a strong feelin' o' deja vu, an' I smell like somethin' you have fond memories of.
5. Favorite food
Oh my word, what a question! Well-
*shuts Hodge's muzzle with his hand* Nuh-uh, not again! You never decide on one, even hours later.
6. What's your eye color?
Red. As in, my irises are red, not "I'm chopping onions" red.
Mine's th' very loveliest shade o' green! Now, look all you want, I don't take eye contact as a threat. I can't blame you for wantin' to look! <3
7. How about hair color?
Gray with white patterns an', a cute white tuft on my head!
Most of my fur is black, with some fluffy orange hair on my goatee, chest, armpits, lower abdomen, and pubic.
8. Have you any family members?
Not unless you count th' people whose memories I am...
Nope, they're all dead. I'm 326 years old, it happens.
9. Oh? How about pets?
You could count Hodge. <3
10. That's cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don't like.
Anxiety. I'm always worried that things are a little TOO good right now, that something's going to happen to take it all away from me again.
Th' fact that the reason I exist is because so many worlds and people have been snuffed out. It's a kind o' survivor's guilt; am I doin' enough? Have I earned this?
11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
Well, truth is, I love programming, and gaming, but my real passion is exploring abandoned places. You never know what you'll find in places like those; sometimes it's neat, sometimes it's depressing, and sometimes it's completely fucking terrifying. Never really gets dull, for Hodge and I. :) We both love to cosplay, of course.
I occasionally try my hand at desserts an' more lavish kinds o' food, on special occasions. What I really love, as Basch mentioned, is cosplay! And, for that matter, wearin' costumes in general! I like to dress in drag every so often, too, an' Basch is usually th' one who sews the-"
Honey, please!
Basch, it's nothin' to be ashamed of! You're real talented with sewing!
Yeah, but it kind of kills the whole "straight-acting" thing. The last thing I want is for people to think I'm some "You go girl!" guy. :V
12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?
I wish I could say no...
Eh, haven't we all. I just wish I could say they all deserved it...
13. Ever… killed anyone before?
...
Not willingly, no. As for him, it was an accident. NEXT!
14. What kind of animal are you?
A wild one in bed. ;) Species-wise, I'm a serrajoe.
15. Name your worst habits.
None! I'm practically perfect in every way! :)
Oh, Christ... You're not Mary Poppins, hon. Anyway, his worst habit is pretty obvious right now; I pretty much have to drag him away from mirrors, or he'll just spend hours flexing in front of them. He's also indecisive. Every time I make a decision between multiple choices, he goes "or you could also do X, if you want", and then I basically doubt my previous decision, and it takes way longer to decide anything that it should. Mine is basically being a mercurial, conceited dick. :V
16. Do you look up to anyone at all?
Nobody, really. I'm too good an example myself! *proud smile*
Oh, Christ... I admittedly do look up to Hodge, though, to an extent.
17. Are you gay, straight, or bisexual?
I'm pansexual, myself, though I ain't really much of a sexual person to begin with.
I'm a fag and proud of it. XD
18. Where do you live?
Depends on which world we're in, but in between, we live in End of the World, a place made from the remains of worlds that were destroyed. Basch an' I've built a lovely house there, an' a temple, an' a library, an'...
19. What do you do in your spare time??
Aforementioned hobbies. :V
I love to work out! It's hard work, stayin' this gorgeous! *flex* Look all you want, I won't blame you. <3
20. Do you have fangirls/fanboys?
Well, for someone like yours truly, it'd be inevitable!
Yeah, yeah... Well, you could count me among them.
21. What are you most afraid of?
That all this could go away.
Another world dyin' because I failed.
22. What do you usually wear?
As little as I can get away with; I'm usually ass-naked around the house. Seriously, what jackass thought it made sense to force people to wear clothes when they didn't need to?
I usually jus' wear shorts; they're comfy and easy to wear! If I absolutely must wear a shirt, it's usually a tank-top or muscle shirt.
23. What's one food that tempts you?
Didn't you already ask this? If I say "Hodge's dick", will that be enough?
24. Drink?
Why, yes, I do! Wine is th' drink of the gods. :)
25. Conventions??
Basch loves takin' me to those! Last time, I dressed as Kenshiro, at Basch's consistence.
Insistence, honey. I won't lie, I literally squealed when I got him to say "You are already dead." <3
26. What class are you (low class, middle class, high class)?
I'm a class all my own! You may kneel. :)
27. How many friends do you have?
More than I can count!
Ture, but it's not like you can count all that high. XD
28. What are your thoughts on pie?
Pi is bullshit, long live Tau: http://www.livescience.com/14836-pi-wrong-tau.html
30. Favorite hobby?
*ZOT*
31. What's your favorite place?
Wherever Basch is! <3 Especially when he's at flea markets.
32. Are you interested in anyone~?
Who the fuck do you think? XD
33. What colour are your beans?
Black. What did you expect? XD Hodge has internal testes and a slit, like a lizard, and his dick is blue.
34. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?
NEITHER! I FUCKING HATE WATER! HATE HATE HATE IT!
Y'know your body's about 50%-65% water, ri-
AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
35. What's your type?
Hodge. Seriously, he IS my type, period.
Basch. <3
36. Any fetishes?
Hypnosis is my particular kink, though pet play's pretty nice, too.
Pet play's my favorite. In particular, I like bein' put on a leash, an' whatever else Basch comes up with during hypnosis.
37. Fly or walk?
Both: Walk.
38. Camping or indoors?
Campin'!
Indoors.
39. Where does your human live??
I knew it, you're stalking me! >:0
40. Who will you share this with??
Everyone reading it. :V
So, I tag
