Well, I typically get like 50+ asks a day. When I look through them, I end up finding 2 or 3 that I know fit a future ‘plot point’ I want to cover. (I have the general plot of the series planned out through to the middle of season 3) I don’t care about the details of the ask, but they usually have to fit the following criteria:

1) They ask at least one straightforward question of some sort. I often end up ignoring the ‘choose-your-own-adventure’ asks that tell Steven “you should do ____” or “Steven, go to  _____” (but this isn’t a hard and fast rule, because some of those are neutral or very politely worded and I end up caving.)

2) They are sincere, and clearly intended directly for Steven or another character. (Sometimes I have no idea if you guys are addressing Steven or me.)

3) They don’t try to give away too much information that Steven isn’t supposed to know about yet. For example, to all 20+ lovely people in my inbox yelling “STEVEN, YOU’RE A DIAMOND!!!!” ... sorry, but you won’t break through. :) I appreciate your determination to let our boy know the truth, though. (I ended up breaking this rule for the ask where someone told Steven Garnet has future vision, because it was a simple enough way to give him extra info.)

If they match well enough, I save them as a draft and throw them into a pile. 

Then, when I’m drawing, I’ll make plans about what order the next few will go in and make a comic based on the ask. 

There’s some asks that I got back in like... September 2018 - when this comic JUST started! - that are STILL in that drafts pile because they are GOOD asks and they have a topic I WANT to talk about... but they won’t be used until like, season 3........ or even later. :P 

Also, I just get a LOT of asks in general, and many of them are REALLY similar. For example, the comic I just posted about Steven calling himself glass or a cubic zirconium prompted about 10+ asks encouraging Steven to be more confident in himself and 10+ asks recommending he do a ‘hardness scale’ test on his gem. Obviously, I’m not going to post all of those, so I end up being quite picky. 

Either way, even if I don’t answer you - I do read them all! Thank you for your thoughts, guys! I really appreciate you all!

“why make an au where mickey and minnie are twins when you can make aus...”

What, I've never heard of her, why is she ignored?!?

mickeys nephews don’t appear all that often in animation to begin with, and felicity’s only appeared in the comics so far - so shes sort of in a pre-dt17 della situation where since shes not really that relevant and she’s only appeared in comics so far the chances of her appearing in animation are kinda low atm

i have an au in my head where they’re supervillains, but none of them have real powers, except charlie, who’s a vampire with vaguely occult powers and shapeshifting ability… mason’s a mad scientist and shep is a painting-themed batman ass villain
