NFC 2017 meme! (Extended!)
8 years ago
(With bonus questions I felt was missing! And in some sort of order, with categories! I SPOIL YOU.)
PERSONAL
Name:
Pao, aka Panterdjuret, or Terrorkittens.
Gender/Preferred pronouns:
I don't have a gender identity. You may use she/they/pao.
(Janath is very definitely a 'he', though, and the Terrorkitens aren’t any.)
How old are you?
I’ll be thirty-one at NFC.
How tall are you?
Around 175 cm.
Relationship status:
Polyamorous. Two very long term partners.
Sexuality:
I'm asexual and uninterested in sex on a personal level.
(But I don't mind what other consenting adults do. Have fun! Just don't involve me in it.)
What languages do you speak?
Swedish and English. Primarily English, due to my international friends. I'm also sometimes caught muttering things in different conlangs. I also highball Trainworld jargon when not hiding on the cesses about it, but I'm still in transit on whether or not I should do so in person. The answer isn't really clear as a rare sky.
Have you been to Sweden before?
*chimes* I have always been here. *breathes and chimes again*
Do you smoke?
Only food. Smoked food is nice.
Do you drink?
Occasionally, when I feel like it and don’t have to take my meds.
Do you have any disabilities or illnesses one should be aware of?
Chronic pain: I'm always in extensive (although not always severe) pain. It will often change quickly, but when it's too bad I have medication. I might walk around on crutches one day and not another, or in the morning and not in the evening or vice versa.
Insomnia: Like, real insomnia. Without my meds I don't sleep, and they don’t work that well.
Faceblindness: If we have talked and later you wave at me and I look at you like you're a stranger, please don't be hurt. Just approach and remind me of something from an earlier conversation. I will remember who you are and be happy to meet you again!
(Pro tip: Also remind me of your name if you're not wearing a clear badge, because I'm as bad with names as I am with faces.)
Trauma: Won't go into details here, but I have been through a lot of terrible things. In short: it’s better to offer me hugs than give them without asking.
Can I ask about these chronic illnesses and stuff?
If you want. I'm used to questions.
You have insomnia?! :D I KNOW: have you tried drinking a glass of warm -
Let me cut you off right here: NO, DON'T DO THIS TO PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC ILLNESSES OR DISABILITIES. I understand that you mean well, but this gets old really quickly: if you really want to give advice, ask first.
Do you take any drugs?
I take some things which would be classified as such if I didn't have a prescription for them from my doctor.
OH REALLY?! CAN I HAVE SOME?! :D
NO. NO, YOU CAN'T HAVE SOME. THIS SHOULD NOT EVEN BE A QUESTION YOU ASK PEOPLE. I'm not going to give them away. And before you ask: no, I won't sell them to you either. If you ask me this, I seriously might never want to talk to you again.
(Adding this because this actually happens to me sometimes. This is a real question I get from people I don't even know and like... NO. DON'T.)
CONVENTION
Have you been to any other furry conventions before?
All the other NordicFuzzCons, but no other furcons.
Where are you staying?
At the hotel at Infra City.
Are you staying any extra nights?
All of them. MAXIMUM FUZZAGE!
Sharing a room with:
No one. I need a single room to be able to hide when I need to rest or if I’m in too much pain, and to manage my insomnia.
Means of transportation?
On paw when there - getting there through taxi service. I live nearby.
Where will you be most of the time during the day?
Hopefully running around all over the hotel in manic excitement, or sitting in a corner somewhere, drawing stuff. I'll be alone in my room a lot to recover and rest. At night I might do late night socialising when things are more quiet.
Are you doing anything for the convention?
Still not sure what this question means, but I’m in the STEW this year and can’t tell you much about what I do there. I’ll also work as a medic, attend the music café as per usual, and hold an origami panel with AmyFever.
Are you selling anything at the convention?
Not this year. I tried it once, but it's not for me.
What are you most looking forward to?
Hanging out with new and old friends. Social creativity. Fursuiting. The Furry Music Café. Being a medic. Late night socialising and breakfast as dinner.
SOCIAL STUFF AND PERSONAL INTEGRITY
How can I get your attention?
Out of suit: Call my name (Pao) or just come up and introduce yourself if you're new to me.
If we know one another, just do as you always do when meeting me.
In suit: If you know the name of the 'sona, call their name, not mine. You can also come up to me from the front and say hello.
Never, ever hug or touch me* without warning - especially not when I'm suiting - because I might not see who you are. Even if I do, this will severely impact my view of you in a very negative way.
*(a firm hand on my arm to get my attention is usually all right, unless I’m wearing my: ‘Do Not Touch Me’ badge)
Are you nice?
I see myself as polite rather than nice. They aren’t necessarily the same.
Who will you be with?
The people I run into. If you want to hang out with me, please ping me on Telegram or Twitter. I would love to, especially for being creative together!
Can I talk to you?
Usually. If I'm outside of my room I'm very approachable but if I'm on my way there please don't take it personally if I can't stop and chat. My disabilities are real and when I'm about to break I might need self-care RIGHT THAT MOMENT. It's just how things are.
Can I touch you?
It depends and varies. It depends on who you are, how well we know one another and where you want to touch me. What... what is this question? Always ask for consent before any touching or hugging me, even if you have done so before, unless we're on established spontaneous hugging terms.
Can I noseboop you?
If you want to and I'm prepared and it would make you happy to noseboop me.
Can I hug or snuggle you?
It depends on who you are, how well we know one another and how I'm feeling. Always ask for consent before any touching or hugging me, even if you have done so before, unless you're on established spontaneous hugging terms.
Can I dance with you?
I don't dance much, but if I'm dancing you can dance with me if you want to.
Can I invite you to parties?
You can invite me to as many parties as you'd like. I'll most probably accept if I have the spoons for it, but I might have to decline.
Can I hang with you in your room?
If you are someone I like and trust a lot... perhaps. I do like hanging out with people in my room but I need my room to be my safe place and I usually have a LOT of stuff in it, so I invite or accept requests on my own discretion. You can ask, but always respect my answer.
SUITING AND FURSONAS
What are your fursonas?
Janath Manakai: He's a smug anarchist with an affinity and fondness for fire and drumming.
There is a portrait of him here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19006271/
I often fursuit him OOC, though.
[Terrorkittens]: They don't have individual names, so I call them by their species name. A curious, sexless monster creature. There is a whole page about terrorkittens here: http://stories.panterdjuret.nu/abou.....terrorkittens/
They are very vocal, usually, but don't speak human languages much. When they do it's usually one or two word sentences, repeated over and over.
If I fursuit as them it’s always mostly in character unless something urgent needs dealing with.
Wait, something is missing there! Why is your panther thing not on that list?
Because I don't consider it a fursona. The black panther thing is me. Consider it a therian thing if you want.
Do you have a fursuit?
A red fennecat (fennec/cat hybrid) called Janath Manakai.
A blue fennec called Ms Faernleah Gladechild (temporarily retired).
Hopefully I will have a terrorkitten fursuit ready as well.
ART AND TRADES AND SUCHLIKE
Do you do free art?
Yes, but only when I feel like it and have the time and energy. I can't do nearly as much as I would like to though due to being a spoonie and needing most of my spoons for survival.
(Please never ask me for free art, because I will be very sad to have to turn you down, but if we are friends you are free to tell me it would be all right to draw you art.)
Do you do trades?
Sometimes, but usually only at cons when sitting and drawing with other people, as a social thing.
Do you do commissions?
I currently don't take commissions, for any reason... but I am looking into opening up for them in the future.
Will you get anything commissioned?
Probably not, but I hope I'll be able to do some trades while doing social arting.
BUYING/GIVING ME STUFF
Can I give you lots of money?
... no. Not for any reason.
Can I give you presents?
Is it art you've made? Sure, I would like that, and if I have any opportunity to make some you will get art in return! We could sit and draw and talk together. To me, being creative together is one of the best ways to be social and to hang out.
Is it anything except for art? Maybe? Ask first, unless we are really close friends.
Can I buy you food and/or eat with you?
You cannot buy me food unless we are really good friends, but unless I'm eating with other people you can probably eat with me. I will sometimes eat at the hotel during the con, but some days I will be eating at other places.
Can I buy you lots of drinks?
Most probably not. I generally only accept gifts from close friends and I can't drink if I have needed or will need to take painmeds. You can always ask, but I'll probably decline.
BONUS ROUND
I've seen you talk about trains and stuff on Twitter/here. What's the deal with this?
YES PLEASE ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS AND LET ME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL OBSESSION I HAVE WITH MY CURRENT WORLDBUILDING PROJECT 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.)
What are those little white plastic bottles you sip from sometimes?
They are my nutrition drinks. Consider them medicine, because that's what they are.
You draw a lot of chains, collars and suchlike, and sometimes I've seen you in a collar and corset. Are you a kinkster?
I am a proud, asexual kinkster. The kinkiness is not of a sexual nature to me.
... asexual kinkster? What? I'm confused now. :(
Most people are. Ask me about this IRL and I might explain it to you.
Blood?
YES BLOOD! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GODS! MORE BLOOD!
ARTS AND CRAFTS FOR THE CRAWLING NIGHTMARE HORROR PAO!
Why is this thing so long? It shouldn't be.
Because I'm far too verbose.
No really seriously will you draw me some free art?
If I've already said no, don't ask again. It will only annoy me.
