Ask a question to the user above you!

Posted 6 years, 9 days ago (Edited 5 months, 28 days ago) by hedgemaze

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.

All my forum games and threads

polkadot

Cutegirl920fire what would you say are your most favorite and least favorite fairy tales? Why for both? :0

--------

vvv my my don't we all have our regrets? In all honesty, I do like going through old art from time to time, it helps to solidify the fact i'm improving all the time and i don't have to feel like i'm just a fool that's winging it and got lucky yanno? but yes there is plenty of old art i'd much rather send to the shadow realm than let exist, but alas

For the second question, aside from eduard I wanna say it would be Saku ! She's been here long before having a toyhouse profile and i think she was one of the first I ever uploaded when I got here! She's been my sona for the longest of time and even though I changed that she still has a place in my heart for being the point of origin for a whole species in my lore

Mutonian

polkadot You've been here for quite a while and have tons of pages of art. Do you ever wish you could hide some of it, or do you like looking back on your old art? Also who's your absolute favorite character and how long have they had a profile? I know you've got three listed, but I'm curious.

NP, do not ping me. I dislike it.

spitmoth

Mutonian Which of your OCs is your favorite and why? :) 

Hmmmmm ik they’re not super emo but I’d have to say Millionaires!!!

BewareOfTheMenace

spitmoth You seem like you listen to emo music. Fav emo bands?

V Nope. Trad art will always be my heart though I really wanna try digi art someday.

Omgggg I see that you like nier!?????? I just saw you’re art it’s so pretty I love the designs omgggg TOT my question for you is:

Have you see the anime? What do you think about it? O.o))))✨✨

ImAGlitchy

Yell0w_au (omg ur art is so good) okay here's my question, is ur favourite colour yellow? okay I'm joking lol, here's my real question. do you like horror indie RPG games? like the Mad Father, your artstyle overall fits those types of games a lot. it's really nice to look at. also do you read manhwa?

v wait no actually, I can't access the site from where I'm from but I looked it up on youtube and its rlly cool 👀 thx u I'll take a look more into it now AAAAAAAAA

pyjamac

^ you can access it throught the wayback machine but it doesn't exist anymore unfortunately :•(

ImAGlitchy your profile says you like analog horror i always feel compelled to ask analog horror fans if they've ever seen the website oct282011.com… it's one of my favourite things. real life analog horror event.

v haha it's my oc danny… really close to posting face he looks a lot like me but i think you still might be the only one who has pictures of themself on toyhouse. i don't really watch a lot of cartoons these days but i love venture bros and moral orel… as for cartoons i liked as a kid crashbox comes to mind (idk if it counts as a cartoon), i liked invader zim, adventure time. i watched a lot of 80s "toy ad" cartoons like the godzilla cartoon and the original voltron. it's hard for me to think of cartoons i watched because i didn't really like tv very much… i think as far as influencing my art moral orel definitely had an influence. while it didn't happen consciously i also recognize that my art looks a loot like time warp trio which i did watch lol.

BewareOfTheMenace

pyjamac Is the pfp you? For real question though: what cartoons do you like or grew up watching and which one that inspires your art style?

Flashback_arts65

BewareOfTheMenace (Edit: I typed my question)

Your style is very interesting and very fun to look at and makes me wonder, what is your favorite art style and which artist inspired you draw?

Also I wanted to ask this question unsure if its okay, So you mention have slice of life story, what would you imagine if you have fanon of your story and your Ocs? 

VV Thank you! from my quick research no I haven't played racheldrawsthis games but I have seen youtubers played dead plate and I really liked the concept and the story behind it, (I really like their art style, So pretty, I love it), now thinking about it would my type of game since I sometimes like playing horror games. (Also I played Omori, that was the best game)

Also as for Stardew valley question, I haven't got married yet, because I have a hard time choosing between Shane, Harvey and Penny, I didn't know who to chose AHH!

ZaraTM

Flashback_arts65

Gotta say first that I love your artworks!! They have a very distinct style ♡ Onto the question: have you ever played Dead Plate, Elevator Hitch or other games by the same creator? I have a feeling that you'll like them, if you haven't. Or RPG Maker horror games in general honestly 👀

And of course, the obligatory ‘Who did you married?’ Stardew Valley question :]

⬇️ Ooh, that's a good question!! I'm not gonna say they ‘deserve’ international recognition, and more that I just want them to be enjoyed outside Indonesia too. The first is definitely Get Married, they are so unapologetically cheesy and I love them. The second is Doa Yang Mengancam - that movie destroy me and I want international folks to suffer too :)

Okay, this may seem like an oddly specific question, but hear me out. Are there any examples of Indonesian-only media that you wish were translated so they could get the recognition they deserve internationally?


I do understand why people dislike slice-of-life - different strokes for different folks, after all. I mean, hell, my boyfriend's not really the slice-of-life type. What I like about the genre is mostly how the lack of high-stakes action makes it reliant on its characters to carry the story, so a good slice-of-life will have interesting characters and interpersonal dynamics. And character-building is my favourite part of writing!

Sorry if this is too simple of a question- What do you like about slice-of-life stories? I've been trying to get into reading/watching them, but to me they seem SO boring! So I was looking to hear other people's opinions on what they find in them?

V Kdshdyusus I love Spore, and maybe if i'd have a DS i'd actually play this version, but unfortunately i don't have one, so i've only played Spore: galactic Adventures xD
