!!! HAHA! I love this, it's beautiful--it 100% accurately captures my feelings towards Mr. Snuggles. He's my precious baby boy and I'd do anything for him, kill anyone, anything.

I'm like that cringey cliche love interest in contemporary novels that are like "when he touched you, I wanted to do...violence" and you just roll their eyes at them because dude. This is contemporary. You're just some guy. you're not doing violence. stay in your genre

20. How old do you think Councillor Bronte is?

12. I think that Sophie is so inexperienced in the world of friendship in general that she has a tough time distinguishing between romantic and platonic attraction. She's never really had friends, so when she did have friends, it was difficult for her to distinguish the fact that all three of those boys were romantically interested in her. She's probably also never had someone have a crush on her before, since she was in school with people several years older than her, so she's very inexperienced in these matters.

20. Ooh this is a tough one... I'm going to guess around 4500 years? We know Bronte was an Emissary when Serenvale was overthrown by the ogres and turned into Ravagog. I'm not sure if they ever say Calla was around when that happened, but I hc that she was. And she was 4,329 years old, so I'm guessing he's a bit older than she was when she turned into the Panakes.

Polaris wasn’t always the North Star. Because of the way the Earth wobbles on its axis while it spins, the stars appear to change position over time, and in about 13,000 years, Vega will be the North Star.

And here’s a picture of Vega.

It’s one of the brightest stars in the sky, and it’s part of the constellation Lyra, the harp or lyre.

Hi Quil! Happy ayyám-i-há, I wanted to draw you something and I remember you saying you liked Tam and Sophie so I drew them outside of a bowling alley! I hope you have an amazing day!

Oh my gosh!! I do love Tam and Sophie! one of my favorite guys for sure! This is so lovely, thank you so much! My brain is all lit up with lights rn just like OH!?

I love the ease you've drawn them with, they look so comfortable and happy with each other and ough!! you're so right that's peak them right there. I know canon isn't long enough for it to happen but I'm clinging tight to my personal interpretation and evolution of their friendship that makes them really close and comfortable with each other on a personal and emotional level.

And then the concept itself?? The kotlcrew going bowling together and teaming up? So so good I love that so much. Choosing to incorporate this into my understanding of the wings au, btw. There was a whole time they were all living in the forbidden cities, so whose to say they didn't all go bowling, huh? There's no evidence they didn't. Anyway I will not be stealing your intellectual property don't worry I'm just saying I love this situation/concept!

Oh absolutely it would be fine! I’d love to see what art you’ve done! I think basically anything I’ve ever said is entirely fine to create art of, though I appreciate you confirming it with me.

also answred this in a prev ask but another thing:

Oh you're so right! Both of these songs have some truly excellent lines--too many to highlight them all! Thank you for the suggestions!

I think "So stay away from me, the beast is ugly / I feel the rage and I just can't hold it" captures the internal struggle and experience of being an inflictor with clarity. Don't get close, their power hurts, their power is ugly, their power will escape. Especially with the rage comment, as that's a feeling Sophie draws on often

There's also "I created a monster / A beast inside my brain," because it's like this all-consuming thing that takes over when they inflict. Before Sophie's inflicting was reset it was more of a negative experience; now it's changed, but we don't know the extent of it as she's only used it once since.

The emphasis on monsters from both fits perfectly with how Sophie perceived her ability, especially at first. She didn't want to be able to hurt people, didn't like that inflicting pain on others was something written into her DNA and what that could say about her. She was horrified to find out what she could do, and it's entirely possible that without the necessity of it in her situation she never would've trained it. At least not with the expedience she did
