LMAO antis need to get a life instead of projecting onto fictional characters ��

@roguelily but......the temptation.......

13. hardest character to write

This is one of those that can vary depending on how I’m feeling on the day, but overall I’d say Bruce can be very difficult. So can Slade. They’re both extremely complicated characters in different ways, and figuring out how to have them react IC to various situations can be a trial at times.

14. easiest character to write

Jason my son, my child. My sad broken boy. I don’t know what it is but with him the words for dialogue and response just tend to flow. I’m very comfortable with Jason and rarely have trouble deciding what he’d do or say in any scene.

18. favourite pairing to write

1. and 23. are already answered, but...

24. Favorite fic you read this year.

Hey. Hey! You know what @firefrightfic just wrote me for Christmas?!

That Old Black Magic, a piece of John Constantine/Jason Todd gloriousness that’s all about John needing to hook up with people that Gotham favors to link into her magic and save the city/world. (Hint, it’s Jason.) The porn is amazing, and her Constantine far outstrips mine. He’s awesome and actually believably very, very British and I love it.

(You should all go read it too, not just because it’s lovely, but because Fire is amazing all on her own and I highly recommend just about everything she does. XD)

25. A fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read.

I guess it would be cheating to just point above, eh? Okay, well, I don’t actually read much? I basically just stalk certain authors, and then I... porn-hunt. For things. I very rarely actually just like, go wandering to read stories just because. (I just don’t have time; and I’m very selective about what I put the time in to read.)

On that porn note though, I highly recommend almost everything by Miss_Lv over on Ao3. They write excellent, long stories that are just full of porn and bad-wrong situations and it’s great. It was SPN a while back, but currently they’re on a Fantastic Beasts kick and I’m also really enjoying that.

Secondly! There’s this lovely Blade Runner 2049 author (among other things, but that’s what I’m interested in) who’s been writing all kinds of K suffering and I love it. My favorite is The Beekeeper’s Son, a story about K going off to have a ‘happy ending’ after the end of the movie, and then a while later getting tracked down by Blade Runners himself. (Badness ensues.)

(Note: with both of these authors, take care to look at the tags/warnings. Keep yourselves safe.)

Book for anatomy are expensive! I wish I could afford them tbh OTL But usually I just use tutorials found online. Drawing muscular guys isn’t my forte since I lean more to drawing pretty boys, however, this Shiro one I drew, I had to go look at some photos of muscular arms at least just to get it a little right. But yeah, google images is my best friend when it comes to references, However, most of the time when it comes to hands, I just go to the mirror and do the hand posing myself. Easier and pretty effective too!

I honestly encourage people to use references. Like for drawing one artwork alone, I’d usually have 4-10 references HAHHAHAHA I usually use my own clothes for referencing the outfits I draw, I’m so guilty about this because it’s so self-indulgent seeing my fave characters in my clothes lmao Fortunately enough, I don’t have to reference hair so that’s one thing I don’t have to think about too much. 

That’s not very princess-y of you Jay.

3. Is there a trope you wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole?

37. Talk about your current wips.

Already answered! Here! And Here!

28. Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.

Alright, so this one I know. Nice and simple. XD The first is Firefright. She’s a good friend of mine, and we’re… basically the same person. It’s great. We’ve got a lot of the same ideas, the same trains of thought, and she’s an excellent writer. I adore her. (You can find her here on Tumblr, at @firefrightfic.) Her Talon and the Hood series is a joy, and I am eagerly awaiting more of it when she has the time. We also do a fair amount of writing together, and it’s probably the smoothest time I’ve had working with someone.

The second is Kieron_ODuibhir. I knew her as Trisak Aminawn over on FF originally, and she’s the one that inspired me to start writing DC fic originally. She writes an incredible Earth-3 collection called Cirque de Triomphe, from which I pulled a lot of my more general Earth-3 knowledge as well as taking a few ideas that I then adapted for my own world. I absolutely recommend reading it if you have time; her world is just beautiful, and she has a really incredible knowledge of various comic trivia that she often explains in her notes.
