Roz: Hmm... well, I don't trust Silver at all, and I'd rather he just cease to exist as now theres... there's a threat hanging over our heads.
Willow... she seems really cool, actually... I think I should talk to her more... She knew the band, hell, dated VV. So, I'd like to kind of... get to know her more!
and Sven is kind of whiny in all honesty, but stars if he and my brother aren't a fucking riot- at least when it's more light hearted- they're so weird with each other...
Did you know your boyfriend has caused the displacement of thousands of bugs!? His company has gained monopolies on dozens of industries!!! - antonomus 18274637274674

From Natasha, to Hipp mostly, but Swag can respond as well since I know they DJ- what would you think of ever playing a song together? I’ve been playing the violin for a long time, but don’t have many opportunities to play with other people
"Oh, damn, seems this question arrived a bit late... anyways, I don't have much musical prowess, the way that Hipp does. I can DJ, but really that's about finding good transition points and adding a little flair... I know nothing about making my own music. Heh- what about you, Hipp?"
"..."
"...Chirps, you there?"
"...o-oh, yeah, I'd be happy to, uh, perform more with you, Swag. I think we work well together on the energy front, but... music in particular? I fear our music genres don't mix all that well."
"Hm, yeah we definitely do like different music... Maybe I should learn a bit more about your favorites, then?"

Will swag and hipp ever get married hehe and would you both were suits to would one of you were a dress?
"..."
"..."
"You go first-"
"Wh- Swag!"
"Well, I-I'll know my answer from your answer!"
"Uh... right ok. Ahem, I guess we might? I mean, assuming all goes well, y'know? But not for a little while longer, I'd say. I mean, I'm happy with where we are right now."
"Yup, and as for the other part I'm definitely making the coolest tuxedo ever!"
"Hm... Swag is there a way you could combine a suit and a dress into one thing?"
"Ooo I never thought of that, that would be sick!"
(Missed opportunity to call this blog “sasterasks” /silly)
Also, for everyone, what are your three greatest achievements? Could be anything. Just what you think are your greatest three.
(These are gonna be long asf sorry you asked an amazing question)
Hipp:
"Hm... I think I'd have to say number 1 spot goes to the life I've built here at the Safe Haven. I used to be a lot more of a vagabond, but I think settling down somewhere has been good for me."
"As for 2 more achievements... All the music and poetry I write is good, though I'm still working towards a 'magnum opus' I suppose. If I had to pick one, maybe Blue Ridge Mountains? It's very reminiscent of a specific time in my life..."
"The last achievement I'll mention is my journals. I want to be able to pass these down when I die, for the information and stories and creations to live on and help others in need. It's everyone's first time living, after all, and stars knows I would've appreciated a book telling me how to deal with... certain situations."
"This is a great question, it puts into perspective the amount of work I've done in my life. Sometimes I forget what I have accomplished, or downplay its significance, but it really does matter, and the reminder that it matters is motivating to me. Thank you!"

Swag:
"I... haven't really thought about that..."
"Being real, I'm not sure if I've achieved much in life yet. Sure, I've got an awesome boyfriend, a great family, the best home I could ask for, but... I've been trying to figure out what I want to do with my life this whole time, I guess."
"Before I came to the Safe Zone... before I met Hipp, I didn't have much time to think of anything but my biological purpose. And then when I lost my wings, it turned into... learning who I even was. Hipp helped me a lot with figuring things out. And then I wandered off, and I... uh... couldn't find my way back, yeah... I got a place in Ant Mountain, lived there for a bit, and then the Big Sister cult took over, and I got the hell out of there, finding my way to the Safe Zone."
"Once I got settled in here, life slowed down a lot. It... It was honestly a little scary, I was so used to disassociating through every day. Now that I was in a calm place, I just had time to sit and think... I thought I knew who I was, but now I had to find who I wanted to be. Which is hard when you... don't exactly like who you are... So, I pretended I was someone else. I put on this performance of being a normal worker ant with a normal life who just wanted everyone to have a good time, right? I got better at my clothes designing stuff, and hosted some more parties... I guess I was trying to hide, I was so ashamed of my past that I thought others would pity me, or hate me for it, too. But I opened up a lot to the folks here, Hipp, when he started living here, of course, but also Cham and Orchid... and that was really... like it was embarrassing as hell, but good to know that I mattered, and I wasn't alone."
"Aaaaand then I wandered off... again... y'know... and I felt like shit about it, and I still feel like shit about it, but... I'm getting better every day, and that's all I can hope for. And now that I've gotten my princess-pheromone sensors removed, I have peace of mind. But, once again, I've got too much time to think. I guess my new question is 'what do I want to achieve.' Thanks."

sorry I literally have no ideas for Lyrus... whoops...
Oh, me? You're asking lil old me? Ok, I'll bite
1: Not just surviving, but thriving, given my circumstances. They're absolutely not the worst things a person could experience, or have to live with on a day-to-day basis, but I've overcome many personal and societal challenges and I'm proud of myself for that.
2: My improvement as an artist, animator, and writer. I've genuinely gotten so much better. I don't look at my old art and hate it, I see how much I've grown and how much people love what I do. I see a bright future ahead of me with my creativity, even if it doesn't go well in a "getting a job and money" way (because fuck capitalism), I will always be proud of my work and wear it like a badge of honor.
For any younger aspiring artists out there who aren't the most confident in their work, hey, we all start somewhere;
(Left; from 2017 | Middle; from 2020 | Right; From this year, 2025)
3: I've been staring wondering what to put here for a while. I think I'll just put "I'm still getting better and I get better every day." OH also my friends I love my friends and I'm proud I have them

So- you mentioned bandmates? What happened to them? You still talk? (Will we ever see them? 0.0)
"Oh! Well... No, no we don't really talk, but mostly because I have no clue where any of them are. I left the band a loooong time ago to learn about a different type of performing from these two bugs, a mayfly and a millipede. After going around with them for a bit, I left to pursue my own music and poetry. All that was a while before I met Swag. But, that was the last I heard from any of them. I hope they're doing well, the world is a wild place... Ooo wait-"
*Hipp would flip open his old journal, searching the pages,*
"I still have sheet music for the songs we played together, though. I did most of the transcribing, Cirocco would buzz the tunes and have me write em down... here they are! Take a look if you'd like!"
*There were many pages of sheet music, songs of many titles. A few stood out:*
