…Uh.

“Big” isn’t food, he’s my friend…

“Small Dad” says you don’t eat friends…

He’s a “Die-nasty Herculease” Beetle. Small Dad got him for me.

His name is “Big”, because he’s big…

Happy Munday! I’m like 2-3 weeks late but anyway a million years ago I made a Hana pony aka Opal Essence ✨

( @ Ivy ) Hmm…I guess I’ll ask the most obvious question. Shapeshifting is a natural ability for me, but for you it looks like it involves some extra work and even multiple sources, like a humans’ soul. Were you human in a past life, or did you find one on your own? Is the old form of this “soul” the form you take when you change shape or did you mold it into your preferred appearance? - Hana

Mod Note: Ivy's dialogue has been separated for easy understanding. Italics belong to the blue text box while non-italics belong to the red text box. Thank you.

"I was a trainer. An Arceus user or just a human to be exact…" "I'd really rather not speak my name for personal reasons, but it would be a joy to hear it once more." "I wasn't anyone special but I used to be the old East Mouth curator, but that was a very long time ago."

"We would spend so much time together, I really don't think there was ever a time we were apart."

"Everything was perfect..."

"Everything went downhill from there, I thought I had longer, but I was wrong. So very wrong, I was so tired."

"I did everything I could for her. But. It wasn't enough."

"It's not one I happened to pick and choose, It was an impulsive choice I made when I was younger."

"I would never disrespect my old form. Her form... I only added myself to it over the years. Even so. I can't 'mold' it. I just change my appearance. As any human would."

"But, It's still mine and It's still me. I just can't have it all of the time now. At least not forever, as much as I do miss it, being human all the time, I cheated fated, and this is my punishment. So I will accept it, Be as it may." Ivy softly sighed, despite her emotionless exterior she seemed almost... Sad? Though it didn't show for long.

-> Ivy doesn't seem like she wants to talk about it anymore... at least for right now. -> Any questions related will be set aside for later. -> Ivy's profile has been updated.

"I used to have the skill as a Sylveon, but this new body of mine certainly has a learning curve. I don't think I'm going to be busy tomorrow, so please come by Mt. Moon, if that's not an imposition?"

"Thank you so much for offering. Please give my regards to Hana too!"

The child seemed puzzled at the Swirlixs’ response, giving their head a tilt for a moment.

…

Why would it be smaller if I eat a lotta bugs? Should I eat more bugs???

They barely started to think about it when a slice of cheesecake was presented to them, it’s sweet aroma filling their nose and thoughts immediately. It smelled nothing like cheese, but still deliciously sweet and enticing. Leaning forward with their tongue sticking out, they give the treat a curious lick.

You could almost see the moment the sweet taste hit them like a truck, as in the next moment the dessert was gone in a whole bite, almost taking the limb along with it! You’re not entirely sure if they chewed at all with how fast it was eaten.

That was the best cake I’ve ever tasted ever.

Gimmie more? Please?? I want more!

Their eyes were wide and even more dazzling, their tail wagging a mile a minute as they pleaded with the swirlix.

Hey, I know it’s a bit ‘off menu’, but could I get a bowl of Kitsune Udon? I’ve been craving some lately and I’d figure I’d get some. - Hana

“How was supposed to know that? I was asleep. I’m only getting enough for one bowl, alright? You better not mess it up,” Rio says to Ray.

In a short moment, she’s got her delivery box on top of her back with the ingredient list inside. Before she starts to walk down the street, she turns to you.

Rio walks down the street and turns a corner, away from view. Ray takes his whiteboard:

He remembers you, even if Rio didn’t. It seems like he’s eager to try to please, especially after the first bowl you had here was… well it was okay.

It’s strange, you don’t remember showing him this form when you were first here.

He turns around to start prepping the ingredients. It won’t be too long before Rio comes back. Before he turns around to go to work, he pauses for an uncomfortable moment as if he’s contemplating on a decision.

He picks the whiteboard up again.

Hey fam 👋

As I’m sure you might’ve noticed by now, my activity here has slowed to an occasional tumbleweed in the empty desert. 😅 I hate to admit it, but my muse for askblogging hasn’t been around for the past few months; which is a little embarrassing considering I was in the middle of rolling some minor plot out on some blogs lmao.

Rest assured, I haven’t abandoned askblogging altogether, I just haven’t been in the mood for it for a while. Needless to say, the brainworms have been throughly occupied by FFXIV and its grip is still quite firm on my throat.

I’ll still poke my head in here every now and then to catch up a little, but when I post and update on any of my blogs you’ll be sure to see it. For now, if you really need to reach me, you can have my Main & FFXIV Twitter:

Main: https://x.com/veiledvulpes?s=21

FFXIV: https://x.com/blorbooflight?s=21

Alternatively, if you have my discord (mutuals only please), you’re always welcome to send a message. Be warned that I’m quite timid and I’m very bad with small talk though. 😅

Until then, take care! 🙌

Ask call!

Howdy! Reynard and Xavier are open for asks! They are characters belonging to my darling @pokitsune but I kinda hijacked 'em lmao.

Some hints I guess:

Reynard

Who are you?

What's your relationship with Chai?

Why are you so awkward?

Why was the wish silly?

etc Idk I suck at making hints

Xavier (He will be annoyed/probably not answer if you're a guy.)

Why are you so mean to Reynard?

What's your relationship with Chai?

Why are you so aggressive?

What's your opinion on the wish?

etc you can ask him anything but good luck

Ive recently been using ask hints for the first time this year and honestly I find them extremely useful but also very hard to come up with if the blog is either plotless or me pulling shit outta my ass 97% of the time (which is often) 🤣 I used to just go with whatever would come into the inbox, which can sometimes be fun to play around with, but I understand some people have Choice Paralysis when it comes to picking characters or asking certain questions even with the ask hints there. It helps to bold certain hints if you really want something pointed out!

I don’t usually send asks myself or have others send them, but only a very few number of people know the plots of my blogs lmao.

I wanna know some behind the scenes things!!

Ok! In replacement of taking munday questions, I have a few for fellow blogs. I'm always curious on how other people handle own their blogs behind the scenes and what types of responses they get. So here's a few questions I'd love answers for! Feel free to either respond as much or as little as you want through reblog, or reply. I don't mind.

Do you have your friends send questions to your blog with meta knowledge? (Alternatively, do you just send them yourself?) What do these questions normally highlight?

(Like, do you ask your friends to send asks specifically pointing out details that the general audience might miss. Or to point out specific nuances of your characters feelings over what they're going through. etc etc be specific if you feel the need to)

When people don't use the ask hints (if provided) when sending asks, do you still find that those asks that are still useful to you? Alternatively, if you don't have ask hints, have the asks being sent satisfy you enough to reveal what you want about your characters?

If you provide ask hints, how well do they work? Are the majority of the asks you get based off the ask hints? Do most of the hints you provide get used, or are there some that still never get covered?

Feel free to also include anything else that you feel useful to know! Add context, or maybe a different approach. I know this seems particularly plot-based blog focused but I'm all for hearing the responses of non-plot ones. It'll help with perspective! I did always feel a little.. lonely in knowing how other people feel about their blogs going, if it was going how they wanted or what challenges they face. It really helps to uncover the veil to understand the person behind the blog! Thank you, if you take the time to answer these, or even just read and consider.
