PERSONAL STUFF
Q: What's your age/location/gender identity/pronouns?
A: Old enough / outside Stockholm, Sweden / I don't have one; I'm just pao. For pronouns, use she/they/he/ze/pao... anything but 'it'.
Q: What languages do you speak?
A: Swedish and English. Primarily English. I also do conlanging; primarily an Ilythiiri dialect.
Q: Hello? Where did you go? Did I offend you somehow?
A: If I disappear suddenly, it might be because I'm busy coping with life. Don't take it personally: if you have offended me I will let you know.
Q: May I hug/touch/noseboop/snuggle you?
A: Always ask first. Pro Tip: "*offers hugs*" is better than just "*hugs*", because an offer isn't intrusive and doesn't assume anything.
Q: Do you do RP/sexual RP?
A: I might be open for some kinds of RP if you're good at writing. However, I'm not the least interested in sexual RP.
Q: Can I ask you things?
A: Don't ever be afraid to ask me things, but don't be offended if I can't or won't answer any and all questions.
ART STUFF
Q: Do you take commissions? Do you do free art/trades/requests?
A: I don't do commissions, under any circumstances. Please never ask me for free art, because this is something I reserve for friends/people I admire/fanart. Sometimes I do trades or requests, but generally only at cons or meet-ups when drawing with others as a social thing. If you want to do a trade, feel free to approach me and I'll let you know if I'm available.
Q: But I really want to buy art from you! Can I do that somehow?
A: If you really want to, I have a RedBubble store I update occasionally, with some select pieces.
I'm still learning how this works, so bear with me. You can find it here: http://www.redbubble.com/people/terrorkittens
Q: May I draw (fan)art your characters?
A: You may, but not claim that they are yours. If you'd like to draw them in sexual context, clear it with me first; I might permit it for some of them. I'd be very happy to see fanart, so please send a link. Make sure to include a 'Character by Pao/Panterdjuret' somewhere if it's not of me and don't try to sell that art and we're good.
MISCELLANEOUS STUFF
Q: Who are your fursonas? What about that red-maned panther thing?
A: Janath Manakai: A red, anarchistic, male fennec/cat hybrid. (He)
Miss Faernleah Gladechild: A blue, Victorian lady fennec. (She)
'Terrorkittens': A monsterified version of my panther persona. Gender neutral. (They)
(I have a species reference document here, for the curious: http://stories.panterdjuret.nu/abou.....terrorkittens/)
I don't consider the maned panther thing a fursona. I consider it being all me.
Q: Terrorkittens are awesome! Can I make my own terrorkitten fursonas?! :D
A: Short answer: NO. They are a personal and closed species.
Long answer: Perhaps, but most probably not. Ask me and explain why and I might allow it if we are on extremely good terms. Extremely good terms. They are very, very personal to me. Please accept and respect this. <3
Q: Why do you draw so much blood/guts/violence?! :((
A: BECAUSE I LIKE BLOOD, GUTS AND VIOLENCE.
Q: Are you really a monster? You don't look like a monster.
A: Yes, I really am a monster. I'm also loving and kind. They aren't opposites. Don't trust anyone who would say they are. Also, you wouldn't lick a poison dart frog just because they are coloured like candy, would you? If so, go lick that frog. I'll wait over here and laugh at your pain.
Q: You seem kind of scary and dangerous. Are you dangerous?
A: Many of my friends use a sword as a metaphor for me. A sword is sharp but if you respect it and its nature you won't injure yourself on it. If you listen to me when I tell you not to do certain things or not treat me carelessly I'm not at all dangerous. Treat me carelessly on your own peril.
I give warnings before I make threats, but I never make empty threats. Listen to them. I've been through too much crap to be kind and gentle if I feel threatened or in danger.
Q: No really seriously will you draw me some free art?
A: If I've already said no, don't ask again. It will only annoy me.
