ㅤAnother long work day, another evening that saw John and Steve coming back to their apartment tired and grumpy.

ㅤBarely a word passed between them as they trudged through their usual routine. Get inside, kick off their shoes, go take a shower together ( because what's the point in having a big shower if they didn't use it to save hot water? ), toss their laundry at the hamper and don't think about it until tomorrow. It wasn't until they'd both dressed in pyjamas and shuffled into the kitchen that the ever-so-chatty John finally opened his mouth again.

ㅤ❝ You got more bruises on ya than last time I saw, ❞ he pointed out as he leaned back against the kitchen counter, watching Steve take out a container of leftovers from yesterday's dinner. ❝ Better not be getting sloppy at work, big guy. ❞

ㅤNot that he really thought Steve was the type to do such shoddy work that he'd injure himself. But, it was either that, or he was getting into scraps. Again. Practice sparring gone too far, or actual fights — it showed up all the same on his skin.

ㅤ( John wasn't that worried, of course. He just didn't want to hear Steve bitching about pain while he was trying to sleep. Obviously. )

ㅤWhile the scent of their meal filled the room as Steve prepared it, John was already rifling through the pantry for their snacks. Anything to avoid getting up again after they settled down for their movie. Chips, pretzels, popcorn, all the delicious carbs they needed after a shit day. Some beers from the fridge as well, even if Steve always got annoyed over John being a major lightweight. So what if he gets a little tipsy ? It's their home, dammit, he can do what he wants !

💖 • What’s a trope you love and will never get tired of?

HAMMY'S POSTING. Not sure if it's a trope, but 'guy that keeps getting into situations' is how I'd summarize a good amount of my threads lmao. Pizzelle is constantly getting dragged into scenarios that are completely out of his control and he's just there for the ride (not voluntarily tho'); seeing how he manages is part of the fun. I guess it goes hand-in-hand with tropes like 'Action Survivor' and 'Right Man at the Wrong Place' tho', particularly if we're talking about Spire events. That's basically this guy's Silent Hill right there. Also honorable mention to 'Unwitting Instigator of Doom' because that's Pizzelle's involvement in the game's events in a nutshell. I don't think the circumstances he's in properly dawn on him until he destroyed Mt. Fudgetop, and things don't get that much better afterwards. They actually get worse.

🧠 • Do you believe muses “have a mind of their own”?

HAMMY'S POSTING. While I'm a bit old-fashioned and I find saying that "my muses wake up/is being loud" rather corny, I prefer detaching myself from my muse to the point they might as well be their own person. Y'know how we all say 'mun =/= muse' in our rules, that's basically what I imagine when the idea is brought up: we're not responsible for what our muses do, eeeven if we're the ones writing them. At that point their autonomy is implied. Personally tho', I keep the fourth-wall breaks to a minimum. Again, I prefer distance between me and my muses; so while I think it'd be funny it's mostly Pizzano who has that ability/privilege.

😤 • Do you have any pet peeves when it comes to RP partners or threads?

HAMMY'S POSTING. EVERYONE has pet peeves; and, if someone says they don't, chances are they just keep it to themselves instead. As for MY pet peeves?? I have a few, but especially people that follow me first, I follow them back, and then they never interact with me in any capacity. I know I'm bad at breaking the ice myself, but if I follow someone first I WILL go out of my way to get it done because when I do it's because I'd love to write with you!! RPing as a hobby is all about approaching and communicating with people!! Hell, I wouldn't mind it if we interacted OOC in any capacity at least. I always try to interact with folks by liking and commending on their OOC posts because I can see them, and they deserve to know I'm looking at their stuff! Still, I'm not perfect for this either; a lot of the time it's very long posts and unless I read them fully I don't like the post and it comes to bite me later. Much of my time in the Dash is spent being a bystander, like a witness, but at least I hope my Mutuals feel noticed and appreciated that way.

💕 • Favorite ship for the muse?

HAMMY'S POSTING. I'll be franc, there isn't a second favorite lmao. It's probably just a Me thing but, contrary to what my blog might imply, I've never been much of a shipping person or into romantic stuff in general. I rarely get into ships, but in the EXTREMELY RARE OCCASSION I do it's probably The One Ship That Makes Sense™ and I become so insanely invested no other ship could ever compare. I guess I'm the very rare single-shipper in the RPC. Not to mention I've always been a person of habit, a one-trick, so once there's the (1) thing I stick to it. I've also always been the kind of person that's found it weird to not ship canonical stuff, so there's no way I wouldn't ship the AU versions of The Noise and Noisette together, y'know? That and every other Pizzelle ship is either Peppino/Noise in an AU coat of paint or Pizzelle with any of The Noise's maaany bootlegs, so I just don't care lmao. Rosette is just so perfect she has zero competition and I refuse to imagine a scenario where her and Pizzelle aren't together, they're like Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

📷 • Favorite picture/screencap of your muse?

HAMMY'S POSTING. Because I'd rather not share repeats (I've shared some already), most of these are reaction images I use in Discord— EXCEPT THE LAST ONE, I just think concept art of Rudy choking Pizzelle with a wrench is really funny.

😩 • Hardest thing about writing the muse?
