What got you into FFXIV or Final Fantasy as a whole?
v Bruce Timm, I think. Thank you for not pinging me.
We have lots of threads to ask questions to or about characters, but what about the users? In the vein of the Say something to the TH user above you! thread and the I want to see a TH user who... thread (and serving basically as a non-anonymous CuriousCat), this is a thread to help you get to know your fellow TH users better by asking the person above you a question. In return, the person below you will pose a question to you. After you're asked a question, edit your post with your answer!
If you're uncomfortable or don't want to answer the question you were given for any reason, just say so and leave a fun fact about yourself so the game still serves its purpose. If a question is truly problematic, message me with any concerns.
Rules:
- Don't ask questions that are very personal or could be uncomfortable, and bear in mind that many TH users are minors, so while I encourage you to look at the profile of the user above you and ask about something mentioned if you like (like their pets, their hobbies, or their current project), please don't ask very personal questions like exactly where someone lives.
- Try to ask something fun or interesting, but it's fine if you don't know the person above you at all-- getting to know each other better is the point of this thread! It's fine to ask something general like what their hobbies are, who their favorite fictional character is, how they came up with their username, which of their own characters is their favorite, or how they found ToyHouse.
- Of course, it's great if you ask something more specific, too! If you know they have a lot of fandom characters, you might ask how they got into that fandom, or if they have a unique art style, you might ask how they developed it!
- There's another thread for specific questions about characters, and another for worlds, but you can ask general/broader questions about a person's creations here, like how long they've been working on their story, or what inspires or influences them. I'm not going to keep writing examples, but you get the idea. Just use common sense and try to get to know your fellow TH users better!
- You can ask multiple questions in your comment if you want to, but only one is fine, too. This can be as in-depth or as casual as you like.
- Please ping the person above you so you make sure that they see your question! If you're not sure how to do this, you simply type @THEIRUSERNAME, and they will be notified! This will not work if you edit the ping into your comment later (like if you wanted to claim and then edit your question in); you must put it in when you first submit the comment.
- You are NOT ALLOWED to skip anyone in this thread. If you cannot see the post above you because the poster or you have blocked each other, wait for another person to comment before replying to the thread. Feel free to bump the thread to encourage others to participate!
- Wait at least a couple of posts before going again.
- Edit your original comment with your answer to keep this clear; please DO NOT add new comments to the thread just to answer someone's question. This gets confusing. Take it to private messages if you want to have an ongoing conversation.
- You can bump the thread as often as you like; I don't mind.
- Be nice and have fun! Please don't be rude if someone asks you a question you've already answered before! If that happens, you may link your previous response if you don't want to go over it again, but I recommend adding something new to say about the topic, if you can!
- Want to play the game in reverse? Answer a question from the user above!
The first person can either ask me something or just claim a spot!
Edit: my answer
"Hedgemaze Expo" is the name of the main characters' band in my comic! I've been using either HedgemazeExpo or Hedgemaze as a username ever since, which is to say since 2003! Most people just call me Hej for short now.
The name itself doesn't mean much of anything, other than that I liked both words and liked the sort of paradoxical nature of an exposition dedicated to huge structures that can't be moved (what do they exhibit, photos? bush samples? tiny mazes?). In terms of the comic, it's just supposed to be a unique, kind of awkward, and silly band name, because in-story, it's an inside joke between my characters Jill and Amber.
(no ping since profile says not to) ^
is there anyone who inspired your style? it reminds me a lot of vintage / 80-esque advertisements in a way, with how everything is shaped. very positive i love those
np
profile isnt complete but should have enough info, ping please i wont see otherwise
!!!!! arcane mentioned . spoilers below
most of mine r abt viktor .. i relate to him a lot so i hejart him. i feel like he's going to take a similar path as he did in LOL !! the machine herald thing .. i dont play LOL i swear i just ended up researching it in the depths of my hyperfixation on arcane. im honestly not very sure how everything with jinx and vi and cait will turn out ?? im so interested to hear though. i feel like mel, vik and jayce will probably survive the, explosion thingy. if not, i feel like mel and vik may be injured. it feels like theres a lot more development for jayce to do, and i dont see them killing off mel for the same reason .. also same with viktor.
faeriewight as of right now, who is your favourite OC and why?
v usually 2 hours, but if it's something heavy like a full rendered piece it would possibly go to 6 hours.
endvred how long does it take for you to finish a drawing?
V I have lots! From like, little plushies to misc objects & stationaries. Basically my favourite character ever.
tartintart that's hangyodon in your icon, right :0? do you have any merch of the lil guy?
v YAYY voca fan!! was introduced to the genre by my sisters quite literally when it dropped but i think its safe to say my first songs were along the lines of world is mine, triple baka, popipo, worlds end dancehall.. all the old classics >.<. my all time fav song is monochrome blue sky / snow white princess by noboruP but as of now i really like waltz of malice by kikuo and beyond the way by gigaP!
Another Vocaloid fan! What was the very first Vocaloid song that you listened to? And what's your current favorite one?
⬇️ I think it was Doctor Elise that first got me into it. I always loved the trope of time traveling to the past and fixing your mistakes, but I only ever found those kind of plots in fanfiction and chinese webnovels. So I was so excited to read Doctor Elise have a fix-it storyline, and even more so when I find it's a common trope in Korean manhwas!
My taste is very self indulgent to me, so I think I'll be pretty bad at recommending new readers hahaa. But I'll definitely recommend checking out either Who Made Me a Princess or Solo Leveling for first time readers. They are easy to enjoy, at least imo!
Cohosting what got u into the OSC n how long have u been interested in it! :0 (also I lov ur object ocs they’re all so dang cool omg)
vv OO OK SO in the early versions of Fates Gambit i took heavy heavy inspiration from kid Icarus uprising, like with the whole Angels n gods type thing. It then developed away from that a bit but still kept the angels n mythical creatures aspect. I then took inspiration from other games like fire emblem and legend of Zelda breath of the wild! Also liked the idea of Skyworld and that literally is the reason why two of the realms are up in the sky HGHDF Visually I take a lot of inspo from those games too as well as genshin! Lots of good refs to help build on how I imagine the locations in my story!
Blapii what r some inspirations Fates Gambit and/Or Unbound? !
V --
I currently dont have any publiced nonfandom stories that arent a wip unfortunately! Errm but I'm mainly working on a Lackadiasy oc-insert AU i guess you would call it,, mainly,, no clue what the name will be atm X[
Alterhuman is a very complicated thing to explain ! heres a handy website so I dont write an essay on this hjshsjhsj
PaxCeasesToExist I've noticed you have a stories folder, what are the said stories called and what are they about? Also, what does alterhuman mean?
----
v My main inspiration was mob psycho 100 for the psychic aspect and Noragami for the ghost aspect!
dandikix did you have any specific inspirations for this story? as someone who’s quite interested in stories about ghosts and such it made me quite curious and it seems really cool!!
v favorite thing about deltarune has to be the depth of the lore and whatnot! there’s a lot going on once you really dig and a lot that people still don’t know so it’s really interesting to learn, I got into it because of my friend who’s superrrr inerested in deltarune and forced me to play (/aff/lh though i’m glad they did)!! warrior cats I got into because i read Seekers and Survivors first by the same author :] and I had a few friends who had read it! favorite design I’ve ever made is probably ko bc he’s my main sona so it’d be hard for him not to be my favorite yk, and fav character I didn’t make is so so tough gale?
vv as for the other question! my classpect I have put thought into and the explanation is either so deep or barely existent enough that I don’t really have it for you BUT aspect I think time and I am super undecided on class. prince of time or heir of time perhaps?? heir of time seems right the more that I think but I genuinely can’t remember anymore which I thought was fitting so take that as you will
lant3rn What's yer favorite thing about deltarune, what got you into deltarune/warrior cats and out of all the designs you've made, who's your favorite? In a related note, which character you didn't design is your favorite out of the bunch?
v 🤧 I'm still working on my art style actually but it took me about 3 years to land on an art style, the one that I'm currently using is my 5th? art style lmao, the process on how I did art actually changed so dramatically I don't think I even remember how my art looked like three years ago.
