#ambersky ask

4 - do you like your name? why?

ehhhhh. I'm content with my name, for the most part. I don't think too much about it really, it's kinda like my gender in that I just... don't care abt it? I like my online name significantly more lmao

Nickname wise, though, I hate "Gracie" which unfortunately is like, the most common nickname for my name. My grandpa used to use it all the time, but my real ick for some reason comes from my kindergarten teacher and elementary art teacher using it all the time. Dunno why, both were fairly chill. But yeah, massive ick. And now my store director calls me Gracie 🥲

I love your nickname for me tho. Amie is super fun to say and idk, I kinda like how it matches your name sound-wise and it makes me super happy whenever you call me Amie 🩷

I'm not gonna get into my feelings about my last name lmao thats a whole can of worms

6 - describe your personality in 3 words or less

semi-adaptable vibes

26 - how many pillows do you sleep with?

Including the giant squishmallow that's basically a pillow? 12. I love pillows and plushies and I will fill up most of my bed with them lmao

97 - dark, milk, or white chocolate? 

Elliott is thinking of proposing to Sebastian, but his cabin is too small and needs an upgrade to fit in another person. So one day when he thinks Sebastian isn't home he goes up to the mountain to secretly ask for an upgrade from Robin, but Sebastian walks in on them.

I was also thinking of the timeline being after Elliott's 10 heart event but before Sebastian's to fit your other fic, "Together".

AUGJFDSBHVFHIHWJI THIS TOOK SO LONG

BUT ITS DONE!!!

Hi hi!!!!

So writing is actually just kinda. not. computing rn 😅 I am in final project hell (almost there! I got one final exam tomorrow and one creative writing project due Wednesday)

But!! I have a couple ideas as to what I wanna work on once I do have the time. Gonna work on Eternal (next chapter is already in progress), I have a request that I am tryna finish cause it's been in my inbox for ages, and! I think I'm gonna work on a story related to my hoarding farm in stardew but that requires me to play more of it lmao. And! Continue chipping away at Not of This World of courss

As for art.... so much going on!!

Ironically I'm making art for my creative writing class - doing some card designs of stuff!! So far I only have the front of some character cards completed, I'm actually gonna jump into working on them again soon but! Here's the idea:

And here's my progress so far!

It's been weird drawing on such a small canvas lmao but also fun fact the character file? currently well over 100 layers-

tyyy!!!!! I'd been meaning to make a new one for a while but kept getting stumped, finally buckled down and made the new one yesterday ^^

Hiiii E!!! Yeah I did, I've been a bit busy so haven't had time to check it out but it's been in the back of my mind ^^

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

augjsdfhhuhuhfwsh there was a poll recently asking this and honestly it is SO HARD to choose a favorite BUT!!!!! I have two top ones that I genuinely don't think I can choose between, and when they combine? just. *chef's kiss* when people analyze the text - characters, phrases, techniques... just digging into the meat of the story I die because it just makes me melt to see people consider all those details. And when people speculate on what's going to happen next - I love getting to see the possibilities other people can come up with and how they may have reached those conclusions

☁️ ⇢ what made you choose your username?

So! the numbers are my birthday (03/19). "ambersky" is the name of one of my very first OCs I created for the wings of fire fandom. she became my sona on amino, and it just kind of stuck, and I ended up carrying it over to all my other socials. Honestly I feel like it would be really weird to use any other usernames now, cause I've used the name "Ambersky" for, oh I don't know... at least 9 years now?

🐇 ⇢ do you prefer writing original characters, reader inserts, or a mix of both? 

23. First series you remember falling in love with?

The Magic Treehouse books. I was not a fan of reading as a kid, but thess books man. These books had me in a chokehold from like first grade to third. I discovered one day in middle school after not even thinking about them that one of my then best friends had also read and loved the books, and I tried reading them again (time constraints and wof brainrot stopped me though). I dunno when I will return to this series, but I think imma try slowly collecting the books over time. Bc I am nothing if not a nostalgia gremlin, and also, I just think it'd be fun!

24. Do you collect anything? Why do you collect it? What have you collected in the past?

I think it's pretty self-explanatory what I collect if ya look at this picture of my bed

But for real, I collect plushies/stuffed animals whatever you wanna call them. This is actually a small amount, behind the ones seen there are dozens more of smaller plushies. And in my garage there are two trash bags full of plushies that I need to figure out how to properly wash, because I discovered they had this weird red matting when I found out I had bed bugs.

Why do I collect them? Because I love soft things and have decided to utterly indulge the desire to be surrounded by soft things. Plushies have also just... always been something I loved having. When I lived with my parents, I think I had double (if not more) the amount of plushies I currently own, but that I (for some reason that I do not remember) did not take with me when moving to my grandparents'. I used to have a massive orca plushie and a smaller one. I had a Bolt plushie. A lot of dog plushies actually. Lots of beanie babies. I miss them a lot sometimes

And something that I collected in the past (well. I kind of collected. This was more something thrust onto me that I never got rid of) was dolls! Not like, barbie dolls (of which I actually don't think I owned many of?) but mostly porcelain dolls. I think my grandpa when I was a baby started a tradition of getting me dolls for birthdays and christmas - and they were all dolls that had blonde hair and blue eyes (like I did most of my youth). I have some fun stories about the dolls. Most people were freaked out by them. I'm not big on horror in general but maybe I should give some doll-themed ones a watch, I feel like I'd be desensitized to the creepiness since I grew up with practically an army of dolls staring down at me every night 😅

I actually had a lot of collections years back (or even now) that I... didn't quite think about until this moment ^^"
