A: Little Town is a small town with a population of around 6000, in the state of Colorado, somewhere south of Denver. It is located roughly in the heartland of the USW, the United States of Westerra, also referred to as the US.

A: Yes. I used a real location as the foundation of Little Town, but it is not meant to be a 1:1 representation of any real world location. None of the people, businesses or events that appear or occur within Little Town are the same as the actual location, and no similarity should be inferred. I have taken the creative liberty of changing many aspects of the inspirational location, including adding or removing elements such as buildings and landmarks, as well as changing the appearance of the land around the fictional locale of Little Town, to fit the fantasy setting as an alternate reality Earth, called Terra. The events of the comic take place it that world's modern day.

A: Terra is an Earth world in an alternate universe. It is slightly bigger than our Earth, and time flows a little slower there. It was once a world of magic and monsters, but magic faded away and the monsters that relied on it disappeared, leaving behind all the other sentient races, including: elves, dwarrow (dwarves), halflings, sapiens (humans), orcs, dyrfolk, beastfolk, and many others.

A: At some point, I decided each of my alternate earth worlds, across all the various projects that I've ever worked on, are all loosely connected through space-time but separated by the fabric of reality that contains them all. This includes our own reality, which I consider the "Anchor" that influences events in other universes. Each world starts at various times and under different conditions, but as time goes on they approach what I call "Singularity", where they all begin to resemble our reality at one point or another. At this point in time, it is theoretically possible to open dimension doors and cross between alternate universes. However, once the "Singularity" event has passed, they all branch off again. This is a cyclical event and, so long as the alternate universe doesn't cease to exist, it will eventually approach "Singularity" again. Terra has simply reached "Singularity", so for the time being, it is influenced by our "Anchor" reality.

A: The closest approximation I can confidently give is around 40% similar. It is not a 1:1 of our reality, and there are countless events and variables influencing the future of Terra that are simply not present in our world. For now, for however long it lasts, there are at least a few similarities.

A: Long legs look nice? More appropriately, I think long legs + short torso makes the characters seem "cuter". I have a personalized character formula based on what master cartoonists and animators in the past considered "cute". If you'd like to see it, just ask.

A: Short answer: there are boys. Long answer: for reasons that might seem obvious to a mature audience, there are not many interactions between the Fishers and the neighborhood boys. Also, since the lead trio are all girls, their outer friend group is more likely to include girls, anyway. I hope to introduce more characters in the future, but for now know that yes, there are boys in Little Town.

A: They tend to wear their favorite colors: Nora-Blue, Melanie-Green, Jiji-Red. Yes, that sounds basic. No, I didn't intend it that way. Yes, I'm serious.

A: Absolutely not! She's a pessimist and a little slow to trust others, so Melanie's constant optimism and friendliness might annoy her from time-to-time, or make Melanie the target of pranks or taunting, but Nora very much loves her little sister. She wouldn't hesitate to do anything for Jiji and Melanie except, maybe, openly admit that she cares for them.

A: Technically, ageless; they are fictional cartoon characters, after all. However, to put things into a "real" perspective for certain types of people, in the "Three Fishers" comics, they are technically considered children. In the future-planned "Little Town Stories" comics (and most of the illustrations and sketches I draw), they are considered teen-aged in human years, but adults by dyrfolk standards.

A: Dyrfolk age faster than humans during their first 10 years of life. By 6 human years, they are physically mature and by 10, mentally mature. By 11 or 12 years, they are expected to enter the workforce and learn a trade. What happens when someone grows up quickly, but lacks worldly experience? You essentially end up with a child in an adult body. In Little Town, with Zach Fisher, they are allowed to slowly gain that experience and have the childhood that they wouldn't be allowed to experience otherwise. Besides, I personally think the world would be a little brighter if we all still had that childish innocence that lets us approach the world and others with wonder and kindness. Don't you?

A: Dyrfolk are a race that splits into many different subspecies (e.g. canei, myari, lapri, rodei). They are humanoids, but with very obvious animal traits and physical differences (e.g. four fingers and toes, instead of five). Myari (singular myaro), are a feline species of dyrfolk, and their character designs are inspired by the housecat species of Felidae.

A: Yes. Melanie was born to a poor family in Sterling, Colorado, where she was given to the Dyrfolk Foster Foundation for adoption. Nora was born in Denver to a large family who gave her and several young siblings to the Foundation for adoption. Jiji was born in Colorado, though her parents immigrated from overseas near Southeast Asia. They died in an accident and Jiji became a ward of the state before being taken in by the Foundation.

A: Zach is the human, legal guardian of the girls, through adoption. He was born and raised in Colorado with his two younger siblings, and several neighborhood friends. He moved to Little Town because he wanted to live in a small town near the mountains.

A: In this alternate fantasy world, all eligible adults are expected to register with the Dyrfolk Foster Foundation and go through a screening process to be interviewed and vetted as potential candidates for temporary (or permanent) guardianship of abandoned or orphaned dyrfolk, until their wards have become independent adults. It is considered a civic duty and legal obligation under federal law.

A: Short answer: It is largely considered a remunerative effort due to past events where dyrfolk suffered oppression. Long answer: Dyrfolk give birth to litters of children (3-4 children per birth), so their birth rate is much higher than other races. In the distant past, dyrfolk lived in tribes, with little access to medicine; thus, mortality rates kept their populations at a reasonable size. However, in the modern age, better medicine and the loss of tribal living introduced a sharp spike in dyrfolk population. This, coupled with an inability to financially or responsibly take care of their children, has led to dyrfolk giving their offspring up for adoption. For this reason, the Dyrfolk Foster Foundation was made, both to manage dyrfolk populations, and to safely raise these children.

A: This is a little outside the scope of a brief question/answer. The shortest explanation is that criteria are determined by the potential guardian's: income, available house space, background, lifestyle, education, personality, character, physical capability, willingness, known contacts and family. There are at least three rounds of interviews with the potential guardian, several over-the-phone with potential in-person cross-interviews with known contacts, and detailed background checks. The system was designed specifically with the health, safety and well-being of dyrfolk youth in mind.

A: Melanie was born the runt of her litter of siblings. She was small and sickly as a baby; as a result, she has developmental disabilities that make mental-intensive activities like learning difficult. This was exacerbated during her time in the Dyrfolk Foster Foundation's Sterling house, when she was forced to learn English quickly, as well as undergo behavioral therapy. As a result, she developed a vocal tic that never went away. In the comics, it's difficult to convey the sounds with simple text or words, but she isn't simply saying things like "nya", "myeh" or "myah". The sound is represented with onomatopoeia, and is more akin to a cat's "chirping", than to vocal "meowing".

A: The fastest way to learn more would be to ask me so I can make a post about whatever you'd like to know. I'm slowly recording most of the lore, snippets, ideas, maps, world-building as I go, so a lot of it is still in my head; especially since I'm consolidating years of unfinished and abandoned projects into one distilled product, my "Little Town Project". It's unlikely that I'll ever share it all in a single dump or location. I don't really think most of it's pertinent to Little Town, and the outside world doesn't have a lot of influence on the daily goings-on of my characters.

A: It may be possible in the future, depending on my ability to juggle multiple projects, as well as how much attention and energy I can afford to give other projects.

A: No, it's not. I know Zach doesn't show up a lot, but in a meta perspective Zach is supposed to be the "author" of the Three Fishers comics. The slice-of-life adventures of Melanie, Nora and Jiji (the titular "Three Fishers") are technically Zach illustrating silly or interesting bits of their lives. The girls are the protagonists, anyway, so he doesn't take the spotlight a lot.

A: Yes. As a Federal institution deeply involved in the health and well-being of Dyrfolk, both for family advising and as a foster care provider, the Foundation has an incredible amount of influence, but no real power. There is no "standing force" that exerts itself over people, per se, but there are many sub-divisions within the Foundation with staff that regularly interact with the public outside of Foundation offices. The connections that the Foundation have developed is second only to actual Federal intelligence agencies. The sort of information collected by the Foundation is only legally and practically available to Federal Inquisition or Audit, or to regional administrators and their immediate sub-committees within their jurisdiction, however.

A: Family planning, pre-marriage and marital counseling, foster care, medical advisory and insurance, health educational services, to name a few.

A: It's only scary if you're afraid of government institutions doing what they're not supposed to, and the Foundation only does what it needs to. To prevent such a thing, the Foundation is split into 4 distinct Regional Offices, each with their own Regional Administrator and sub-committee, and each are directly subordinate to the Federal Department of Health and Public Welfare, within the executive branch of the government. Each Regional Office's jurisdictional ability is compartmentalized, to prevent misuse or abuse of collected information, and/or the formation of a federal monopoly over Dyrfolk citizens' access to health and health-related services. In theory, this also allows the Office of Public Welfare to audit the Foundation more closely to prevent potential abuse. Information collected within one Regional Office is not accessible to another without a letter of appeal and legitimate cause submitted to the HPW.

A: This is a fantasy world and my understanding of the functions of actual government and federal institutions is extremely limited. At best they represent simpleton idealism, so please keep this in mind; I don't recommend making real-world comparisons. I view the Department of Health and Public Welfare as a public investment of trust to a board of elected officials to oversee the distribution of taxpayer funds to public, private and federal institutions, for the purpose of ensuring the health and welfare of the public by funding access to medical and similar resources. I view the Dyrfolk Foster Foundation as a federal institute that does its job as a service of societal function, primarily as a restitution toward the Dyrfolk race for past oppressions and grievances (including slavery, forced conscription and direct involvement in a devastating pandemic which drastically reduced Dyrfolk populations).

A: Absolutely, yes! I will love you forever and I guarantee it will win you NPC affection points from me. I save and store all fanart/fiction digitally with your name as the title, so I remember who gifted it to me, and look at it frequently. I ought to print it all out one day so I can look at it whenever I like.

A: So long as you don't claim the characters and maybe send me a sample or two as royalties, sure. (No, seriously, contact me. I'm usually broke but I'll even pay, if I can. Heck, I'll draw you something as a trade, if you want. I love merch of my OC's.)

A: Unless I publicly make a post to accept art trades from followers on social media, not usually. I sometimes do art trades with mutuals or friends, but please don't try to farm NPC affection from me to become a friend or mutual for this reason. I assure you, interpersonal relationships are already exhausting for me, so constant attempts to get my attention will tire me out and I will probably block you.

A: I will not endorse it. However, experience tells me that I cannot stop you, even if I say no. This is a heavy truth of posting on the internet, which more people should be aware of and reconcile themselves with. That said, if you post it I may see it, but I probably won't acknowledge it.

A: It depends. One fun aspect of fictional sandbox worlds, and the characters that exist in them, is that the imagination is the only limit. I like old cartoons especially because they aren't restricted by "normal" or "real" logic. Sometimes, I want to draw strange or funny things, so stuff like that might seem out of character and not be "canon" from the perspective of our reality.

A: My brother in Christ, I am a vain individual and love myself too much to allow a computer to remove from me the joyful suffering of doing art by hand. Furthermore, I am a jealous master and would sooner blindly restore my faith in humanity before I trust a lifeless, unfeeling computer to faithfully and lovingly breathe life into my adorable fictional children, rather than create unholy homunculi that only look like them. In short, no, my art is not AI generated.

A: Pray before bed every night; pray to God daily for your soul; pray we never meet in person; tell your friends and family often how much you love them; say goodbye to your loved ones every day.

A: If you're doing something in good faith (e.g. funny memes) and not maliciously, sure. Otherwise, do not sell, print, re/distribute, re/post or alter my artwork in any way without explicit, written permission. If what you're using my artwork or characters for is "impermanent", ask me. This means you are using my artwork for something physical that won't be digitized or isn't meant to be displayed for extended periods of time (e.g. collages, mood boards, reference, private projects). If what you're using my artwork for is "permament", you need explicit, written permission. This means you are using my artwork for something that is or will be digitized, or is meant to be displayed for a long period of time (e.g. youtube videos, murals, marketing, advertising). Do not use my art and/or characters for illegal or unlawful purposes; any such use is not encouraged or endorsed by me, the artist. Do not use my art and/or characters for RP or ERP of any sort; any such use is not encouraged or endorsed by me, the artist. At minimum, I will report and block you if I am made aware of it. An artist or creator posting art, art of characters or any such similar material to the internet does not, in fact, void copyright laws or imply acquiescence to "if you didn't want someone to use/steal it, you shouldn't have posted it on the internet". By that logic, if you didn't want to die, you shouldn't have been alive around me.

A: Yes, this is an alternate Earth reality, set in the modern day. There are fantasy races of all kinds here, but no magic as magic faded from the world long ago. There are many similarities to our reality, but many liberties have been taken to create a fantasy world that does not represent our Earth 1:1.

A: Is that not fantasy enough? I'm a one-trick pony who has a primary interest in drawing catgirls. I'm sorry this isn't "Booby Elf-sama and Hunky Protag Go On Isekai Adventures, Electric Boogaloo". Most of the true fantasy happened in the past. Stick around and you might see an elf or dwarf or two. I might even drop some lore for the world outside my main focus of Little Town.

A: You're catching on quick.

A: Yes, they all die tragically of old age, surrounded by their loved ones. This is a slice of life project: I don't know what you're expecting, but I don't care much for pointless tragedies. Maybe there will be a serious side-comic featuring other characters. In any case, I prefer and want to create happy, joyful art that lets me forget the real world; gives me the warm fuzzy feeling in my heart and, hopefully, will do the same for you. If "cute girls doing cute things" isn't interesting to you, I hope joy and happiness find you elsewhere.

A: I draw what I know, what I want and what I find interesting, not what I don't know, think others would like or don't have an invested interest in. If you want sincere (insert representation of XYZ), you'd be more satisfied finding any number of other artists capable of properly showcasing (insert representation of XYZ). Also see my answer to the question "Will you include XYZ in your projects?".

A: This is a fantasy world. It is not a 1:1 representation of our reality. Simply because there are overlaps and differences between aspects of my fantasy world and our real world, does not mean I intended to "erase", "misrepresent" or "alter" any aspect of reality. There are several times as many intelligent races with their own unique cultures in my fantasy world as there are in our own, so I'm sorry I had to move things around to make them all fit. Don't try to apply real-world comparisons to fantasy sandbox worlds; you'll just end up chasing ghosts, spoiling your own mood and have no one to blame but yourself.

A: I took creative liberty. I'm trying to NOT be a slave to my perfectionism while wasting all my time figuring out how to apply real world laws/rules to a fictional, nonexistent, cartoon sandbox world. I should really handwave a lot more stuff, to be honest. Could you imagine wanting to find reality in a fictional work where you're trying to escape reality? God, how boring.

A: Not a question, but yeah, I guess I do. I will never get tired of drawing characters in 3/4 perspective or doing one of a handful of cute poses. I try to do more "dynamic" shots when there's action or I want to try something new.

A: God bless you and your whole family. If you'd like to support me financially, the fastest way would be to drop a little tip or donation on my Ko-fi page. I am also available for paid commission work! If that interests you, please check out my Commissions page on my website. Otherwise, simply reading, leaving comments and sharing my art and projects with others is a already a massive support boost! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

A: This usually boils down to two reasons: a) it's not my interest and I have no desire to draw XYZ, and/or b) I had a very negative interaction with someone from that fandom and now I will never touch it. If this upsets you, gatekeep your hobbies and don't fall victim to the "nice people can't say no" fallacy. Kick assholes out of your DND group; prevent manipulative influencers from taking advantage of your interests to build clout when they don't care about your hobbies; insult the confidence and smug superiority of people who only create derivative slop because they know they can attract a horde of idiots to it for money. Just don't villainize me for setting up boundaries, or only drawing what I like or want to.

A: They are intimidating for a reason. I don't like being taken advantage of, so I wrote them in a heavy-handed way to avoid bad faith interactions from people looking to scam me. I know it's a bit of a read, but the terms are really very common sense; it's wordy because I tried to cover all my bases. If you'd honestly like art in exchange for money, please try to read them from beginning to end. I promise I won't be as scary as I make it sound in the terms! If you're looking to pull the rug out from under me, however, keep moving. The bar of patience for scammers is so low I wield it like a weapon, and I will not hesitate to publicly beat you with it.

A: Hm, no. I don't mind at all if you wish to create your own Dyrfolk characters, including the various subspecies. I don't have any solid guidelines for you at the moment, though, if you're looking to design them according to my own personal standards. Feel free to include them in your own fantasy worlds or create your own subspecies variant; just don't claim that you created the Dyrfolk race, please. If you're going to steal something, at the very least call them something else. If you're that unimaginative, I suggest looking up name or fantasy race generators; you'll at least have your own base to work on without the potential of getting hassled about plagiarism.

A: No. I simply enjoy anthropomorphic animal people, and occasionally wade through the furry community. I could probably blame Disney and my childhood cartoons for this. Or is it thank? Depends on how you look at it.

A: My guiding star for the type of art I want to make is "cute". Short answer: they're cute. Long answer: I was always terrible at drawing people, and couldn't draw animals to save my life. I discovered that by channeling my love for the cartoons I watched as a child that I could combine my mediocre skill at drawing people and animals, to draw something that was at the same time both and neither. It's not like I started this way, I just wound up enjoying it more as time went on. Especially after I started drawing Melanie for the first time.

A: I suppose the biggest reason is that I like girls. However, it's not that I don't like drawing male characters (and have lots of ideas for male characters that I think are cool), since almost all of my literature does, in fact, star a male lead. It's probably a major influence of learning to draw on my own, but there's a heavy bias for interest in female characters on the internet, especially in the communities online where I spent most of my artistic free-time. I'd like to draw more guys, but it's hard to shake the bias, sometimes, if you get caught up in the concept of "drawing for getting likes"...

A: She is, quite literally, the embodiment of my emotion called joy. I don't know how I lived before my happiness turned into Melanie, and I doubt that I'd be around without her. She isn't my all, but she's definitely the force that keeps pulling me along. I can say she makes me want to be a better person, and I don't care how delusional or cringe that sounds. "Sometimes you have to be a bit mentally ill to get mentally well".

A: Yes, and no. At some point in the past, I decided that I wanted to create a silly mascot character, and between a male and female design, the girl won out. This was Melanie's initial concept, before I decided that I wanted to make a modern story and transformed Melanie's character so that she had a proper personality and dignity as a person/character. Because she's an upbeat and happy character, I present her as the public face of my personal projects to welcome others.

A: I have never really been interested in drawing the characters from TV shows and movies. I did a lot of that as a child, but at some point I discovered that it felt boring and restrictive. In a sense, I got tired of playing with other people's toys in other people's sandboxes, and not being allowed to play with them how I wanted because you always had to follow someone else's rules. It's hard to send Disney's Robin Hood to Mars without getting a lot of criticism, which as a young person, is not really encouraging or conducive to creativity. That's a non-specific example, by the way...

A: The catgirls are my "private" life, which I don't regularly want to show others offline. There's a lot of discomfort around "furry" and "furry-adjacent" (anthro) content when people discuss those things in meatspace, and the juxtaposition of a person who looks like me drawing catgirls creates a social whiplash that, I discovered, makes people "uncomfortable". Pirates are less weird and slightly more socially acceptable, so I fulfill my needs for exploring piratical topics and interests in person, more than I do online.

A: It's not hard to infer, but because this question incites (and has incited in the past) a good deal of harassment, I will not answer it directly.

A: Too personal. See above.

A: Old enough to drink, smoke, own a gun, do my own taxes, realize the masters of our soulless corporate system want me dead, and wish I hadn't taken my school days for granted.

A: The USA. Where I currently am I won't say, but if you hang around it's not hard to figure out where I've been.

A: I learned German in high school, but didn't practice afterward so I can't do more than half understand it now. I learned Italian and could speak conversationally, that is, until I learned Castellano Spanish. Spanish took over and kicked Italian out. Now I only speak Spanish, but it's a terrible mix of Mexican Spanish and Castellano. Other than that, I only know phrases and words from Japanese, thanks to anime.

A: Mutuals, maybe, but I never do follow-for-follow and only follow people I like and/or want to know more about. As for friends, I'm glad you asked, because if you never ask, I will never assume and too many people have ended relationships with me because I never assumed we were friends. I have many acquaintances, but few friends. To be honest, I've had few good friends and the ones I did have I pushed away because I'm an idiot, so I'm not really sure how to be a good friend, and hardly ask anymore. If you ask and I say yes, I apologize if you end up disappointed with me, just keep in mind you wouldn't be the first. If you choose to stick around and do most of the footwork, I'd be grateful if you'd be patient with me; just don't expect me to jump into anything or reform myself without knowing you for a while. I'm also reactive, not proactive, and the concept of time passing means nothing to me; I'd treat you the same now as I would after three years of not talking. It's a silly metaphor, but if you like to take care of flowering cacti, you'd probably get away with treating me in a similar way.

A: Not a question, but yes. My past experiences with people outside immediate family haven't ever been all that great, to the point I've become suspicious of people who try to be friendly for no apparent reason. I'm easy to take advantage of, and I know it, so I tend to keep people at arm's length. I'm also socially/emotionally maladapted, so I struggle with relationships and social cues. While I do my best to treat others how I'd like to be treated, being passive-aggressive has served fairly well as a boundary that filters out people I probably wouldn't want to associate with, anyway. Spending too much time on the internet and alone don't really help, either.

A: *Highly likely*, but I've never been formally tested for either. Mental health has always been a taboo subject in my household, unfortunately, and there aren't a lot of competent, accessible resources for adults.

A: There are certain topics I will never discuss in public, on camera, with strangers or people I don't know personally in real life. The internet is a permanently public forum, even privately, and everything is recorded; so no, I will probably not give you my unfiltered opinion on XYZ. Anymore, I try my best to keep my opinions to myself and focus on making art that I enjoy, and which I hope others may find entertaining or endearing. I know very well that by trying to please everyone, I will end up pleasing no one, but I also know that antagonizing others for no reason will also lead to no good. Besides, I've learned by now that most people don't really care for my opinion, and just want to measure their own beliefs against mine (usually for bad reasons, like harassment).

A: Short answer: write a fanfiction or draw a fanart. Long answer: What I choose to include or exclude depends entirely on my own interests. Little Town is my own wonderful, personal little sandbox where I can build an ideal life and setting for my characters. While I am not wholly against (or immune to) outside suggestion or influence, I will not be taking requests to include or change anything that the audience thinks should or should not be present, nor will I bow to demands made of me. Anything that I think might enrich the story and/or lives of my characters may be included at one point, in one way or another. Likewise, anything I feel is not relevant to their story, lives or the vision I have for this fantasy world, may be excluded entirely. I got tired of searching and waiting for someone else to make the sort of art, stories, characters and content that I wanted to enjoy, so I started making it myself, albeit slowly. If anything about the way I play in my sandbox bothers you, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take the same path I did, and cultivate your own creativity. You may find it more satisfying and entertaining in the long run.

A: Short answer: See above. Long answer: Unless it's a paid commission, reply to a public request post or audience interaction post, I will probably not respond to these kinds of posts/messages. This is strictly to avoid any temptation to plagiarize, as well as avoid copyright infringement or similar legal rights situations. Additionally, I don't like people trying to take advantage of me by getting me to draw free things for them all the time. I've had quite enough of that in the past, and have no intention of letting it happen again.

A: Absolutely, yes! Word of caution, however, I may avoid reading future related fanfiction that tries to guess where the story of the comics are going. As above, this is strictly to avoid any temptation to plagiarize, as well as avoid copyright infringement or similar legal rights situations.

A: If you are genuinely seeking advice or critique (and not my attention), I cannot say that I am qualified to do that for you. If, however, you are fine with a non-professional opinion, feel free to contact me and I may respond. THIS DOES NOT, however, give you permission to contact me at all hours for any reason outside critique or advice on your work. Please don't construe our interaction as anything more than a friendly exchange between artists. I won't entertain constant attempts to get my attention, demands that I communicate with or respond to you, or behavior that crosses my personal boundaries, and you will be blocked from contacting me.

A: No. I have never had internet good enough for that. Maybe if I did, I'd consider it.

A: Occasionally, yes. I've been playing less games recently, because I simply do not have the energy or interest to divide my attention between many things anymore.

A: Same as above.

A: Not sure. Maybe Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, but by hours played it's definitely Skyrim. Honorable mentions: Labyrinthine, Cryo, Project Spark, ATLYSS, The Brew Barons, Deponia, Monkey Island, Lil Gator Game, Little Kitty Big City, Palworld, Spy Fox, Freddi Fish: Maze Madness, Thank Goodness You're Here, UnMetal.

A: Favorite anime series: Patlabor or Kemono Friends, maybe. Favorite anime movie: Porco Rosso. Honorable mentions: Dokkoida, Etotama, Nyan Nyan Taruto, Galaxy Fraulein Yuna, everything Ghibli, The Boy and the Beast. Favorite manga: don't have one. Honorable mentions: Appleseed, Battle Angel Alita, Demon Lord in Distress, Eminence in Shadow, My Little Sister is a Cat, Dragon Half. As a whole, I especially enjoy comedies or cute themes, but fantasy and sci-fi are always considered cool..

A: Don't have a top favorite, but I enjoy Popeye & Thimble Theater, Calvin & Hobbes, Asterix & Obelix, Blacksad, Adventures of Dog Mendonca and Pizzaboy, and the classic Donald Duck comics by legendary Carl Barks.

A: I don't rank artists by favorites. To be honest, I don't really spend a lot of time seeking out and staring at art made by other people, unless I'm looking for inspiration or something cute to destress. This usually leads to doom-scrolling and time-wasting, so I try to avoid it. If you ask for a list of artists, I wouldn't even be able to give you names, since I don't compile that sort of information, either. I could probably look at my following lists on social media to pick out a few I enjoy watching, if requested, though.

A: Depends. I don't listen to rap, hip-hop, metal, contemporary jazz or pop, and maybe some other things. There are exceptions, but as a rule of thumb if you hear it playing on the radio, I probably don't like it. Classical radio is always an exception, since I like classical. I prefer to listen to synth/vaporwave, sometimes punk, bluegrass and certain soundtracks, but it really does depend on my mood.

A: 3D animated, Disney: Wreck-it Ralph. 2D animated, Disney: Oliver & Company. 3D animated, non-Disney: Surf's Up. 2D animated, non-Disney: Cats Don't Dance. Honorable mentions: Too many, but off the top of my head, Atlantis, Zarafa, April and the Extraordinary World, Metegol, Long Way North, Red Turtle, Emperor's New Groove. Live-action: Homeward Bound I & II. Honorable mentions: The Incredible Journey, Master and Commander, The Rocketeer, How to Steal a Million, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990, 1991, 1993), The Goonies, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

A: I rarely watch TV or stream media. I dislike most serialized cartoons/live action shows because they're not interesting to me, since I'm not part of the target audience. Don't ask me what the target audience is, I just know they're not meant for me. Yes, I've tried to watch them. Probably the only post-2k show I'm a fan of is Oban Star Racers. However, if we're talking old TV shows, I like the 80's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Magic School Bus, DuckTales and TailSpin.

A: I might have been able to answer that clearly, once. I don't read much anymore, but I remember liking Treasure Island, Airman by Eoin Colfer, the Redwall series, and The Westing Game, to name a few. The Incredible Journey is also a lovely story. Although it's a play, Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is also highly entertaining.

A: Primarily, at the moment, on Pillowfort or X dot com, and the sites I link to from there (Ko-fi, Artistree, ComicFury). I use the same name and profile pic everywhere, largely because I'm an idiot, partly because I don't care anymore and mostly because it's convenient. Also check out my personal website Little Town at littletown.neocities.org!

A: I don't think of myself in labels, only in what I like and don't like based on what my village-idiot brain can process and understand about myself, others, and the world I live in. I like to think I can be rational, open-minded and analytical, but I often tend to be more emotional and simple-minded than anything, so I try to hold opinions lightly because of this. There are certain convictions that are just baked into my personality and character, however, either due to my upbringing, environment or personal experiences. This does not mean I actively seek out confrontation or drama; it is quite the opposite: I like to stay out of trouble and be left alone. If this offends you, I encourage you to block me as best as you can while avoiding me in the future, since that is a luxury currently still afforded to us by the internet.

A: I don't think of myself in labels, only in what I like and don't like. My guiding star for whether I like things is often, as it is for drawing: "is it cute?". I like the Japanese concept of "moe", which covers a broad gamut of content, and that may sometimes include what people consider "loli". Personally, I don't really know what is or isn't "loli" anymore because no one else seems to know how to define it on this side of the ocean. Please also don't try to "educate" me about it since I don't really care, either, as the discourse surrounding it in "the West" seems to be led by a sense of emotional-moral grandstanding meant to dilute the definition for the purpose of villainizing "undesirables", rather than a logical-reasoning goodwill to determine a clear idea of what the word means or what the genre entails. I just want to like cute things in peace while escaping reality, and without thinking about sex, thank you very much.

A: Not a question, and I won't bow to demands made of me or conform to beliefs/ideals simply because someone else forced them on me. People are free to live according to their own decisions and suffer the consequences of them. It is not my business, nor do I have any right to inhibit that freedom. Do not attempt to interfere with my business or inhibit my freedom by attempting to force your personal ideals on me or expect me to conform to or uphold them. If it's a genuinely serious issue, I'm probably already aware of it and won't involve myself in it, anyway. It is also important to clarify that suffering the consequences of my actions is wholly different from being villainized because emotionally immature forever-children decided to attack people/things/opinions that differ from their internalized moralistic egocentrism and which put the weak foundation of their character and worldview at risk. See also my answer to "What is your opinion on XYZ".

A: Some people really don't understand the concept of a question. It's possible to not have opinions on every little thing; there's a reason "neutral" shows up on alignment charts, and why "neutrality" is considered a viable political position. This is the default position of any average and rational citizen capable of living within and meaningfully contributing to a civilized society. If you treat me like a bad person, don't be surprised if I dislike you after you pretend to forget that you wrote me as a villain into your "diary of me" headcanon. If you're desperate for an uninformed opinion, I can synthesize one for you, but you will not like it and I will block you without waiting to hear your response.

I honestly, truly have no idea why I collected these. I thought it was amusing at the time. I still do.
