First of all: if you know me moderately well, you probably don't have to read thins. This is mainly to be linked from the shorter version featured on my page. (https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7575090/)
Secondly: If you have any question you think should be on these, please add them as a comment on the shorter version, or send it to me as a note or something.
Here we go:
PERSONAL STUFF
Q: What's your age/location/gender identity/pronouns?
A: Old enough to be wise and scarred and grey around the muzzle / outside Stockholm, Sweden / I don't have one; I'm just pao. For pronouns, use she/they/he/ze/pao... anything but 'it'. I tend to use 'she' by habit, but no one else have to do so. I kind of prefer neutrals though, if you want to make me super happy.
Q: What languages do you speak?
A: Swedish and English. Primarily English. I also do conlanging; primarily an Ilythiiri dialect. You'll probably see it around on/in things I do.
Q: Hello? Where did you go? Did I offend you somehow?
A: If I disappear suddenly, it might be because I'm just busy coping with life. I will always return. Please don't take it personally. And if you have offended me I won't just disappear; I will let you know.
Q: May I hug/touch/noseboop/snuggle you?
A: I don't like being hugged or touched at all without my prior consent. Always ask first.
Pro Tip: "*offers hugs*" is better than just "*hugs*", because an offer isn't as intrusive and doesn't assume, and lets the recipient do what they want with the offer. Anyone can offer me hugs; I might not accept all offers.
Note: Even if we are friends and we are on an occasional hugging basis, I'm still the happiest with you not hugging me without asking. Yes, I'm like this even IRL, and I'm a cuddlemonster IRL. I just don't like being hugged or touched without my prior consent, and sometimes I need to not be hugged at all. Also, there are other ways than hugs to show affection and comforting: offering blankets and tea being two of them.
Q: Do you do RP?
A: I might be open for some kinds of RP if you're good at it, writing and making it interesting, and I have the time and energy for it. I love RPing and I do RP in a lot of different places already.
(Things I might be interested in involves vore or murdering things in kind and polite or gruesome and impolite ways. I'm great at telling stories, and I'm also great at writing about people meeting terrible, terrible ends, so there you go.)
Q: Are you interested in sexual RP? ;3
A: No. Not under any circumstances. Respect this. (On the other paw, if gruesome murder is something that personally excites you even when not sexual in nature and you're not trying to make this my problem or bring this up with me I guess everyone wins. Your kink may not be my kink, but your kink is okay. Just keep it away and well separated from me and any RP with me.)
Q: Can I ask you things?
A: Don't ever be afraid to ask me whether or not you can do something, like hugging me. Just don't be sad if your offers are turned down and respect my wishes even if they are not what you were hoping for. For random questions about my life, feel free, but I may not give you any answers, or I might add your question and answer it over here or on the shorter version of this or both.
ART STUFF
Q: Do you take commissions?
A: Never. Not under any circumstances. I never will. Don't ask.
Q: Do you do free art?
A: Free art is the only kind of art I do, but please never ask me for free art, because I will be very sad to have to turn you down. This is something I reserve for friends, or people I admire or just things I like doing fanart of, or when I feel like expressing my gratitude or show my appreciation. I don't have nearly enough time and energy to spare to do it as much as I'd like as it is. If I do make you free art, feel very happy and honoured.
HOWEVER: If we are friends, do let me know if doing art of you/your fursonas/your characters would be all right, and you will end up on my list of such people. Also let me know if you have a preferred fursona/character in mind. I make no promises, but you never know and if I get an idea I might very well act on it.
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: Do you do trades/requests?
A: Sometimes, but generally only at cons or meet-ups when sitting and drawing with other people 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. Sometimes I might ask for ideas, and in that case, feel free to come up with ideas.
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 but not all of them are into sexual things, so please respect that. I'd also be very happy to see fanart, so please send me a link if you do. 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?
A: Janath Manakai: A red, anarchistic, male fennec/cat hybrid. (He, also as fursuit.)
Miss Faernleah Gladechild: A blue, Victorian lady fennec. (She, also as fursuit.)
'Terrorkittens': A monsterified version of my panther persona. Gender neutral. (They, will be a fursuit eventually.)
Q: What about that red maned panther thing?!
A: I don't consider it a fursona. I consider it being all me. The monsterified version of it is a fursona, though. For now. It might change and they might just merge into a single one eventually and if so the Terrorkitten pao will join the paosona as a non-fursona. This will also be a fursuit, eventually, when I can do it justice.
Q: Why do you draw so much blood/guts/violence?! :((
A: BECAUSE I LIKE BLOOD, GUTS AND VIOLENCE.
Q: I've seen you talk a lot about about trains and stuff on here, and you're making references to Protectors and Stewards and a worldbuilding project. What's the deal with this?
A: YES PLEASE ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TRAIN WORLD AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT FOR HOURS ... !!! :D
(... or be warned that this is what I might end up doing should you ask about it.)
Q: Are you really a monster?
A: Yes, I really am a monster. I'm also loving and kind, fiercely protective and unashamed in my care of others. These aren't opposites. Don't trust anyone who would say they are.
Q: You don't look like a monster. Are you sure?
A: Think of me a bit like a poison dart frog. You wouldn't lick a poison dart frog just because they are coloured like candy, would you? If you would, go ahead and lick that frog. I'll wait over here and laugh at your pain. Oh, how I will laugh.
Q: You seem kind of scary and dangerous. Are you dangerous?
A: Many of my friends use a knife or a sword as a metaphor for me. A sword is sharp but it's honest about it and 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.
I give warnings before I make threats, and I never make empty threats. Listen to them.
I've been through too much crap to be kind, gentle and polite if I feel that my friends or myself are threatened or in danger. I will fight for us in any way I can: with tooth and claw; sword and sharp, sharp word.
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. Generally, always respect someone saying no.
Secondly: If you have any question you think should be on these, please add them as a comment on the shorter version, or send it to me as a note or something.
