I'm obsessed with your art!!!¡ That piece of Aran and friends having milkshakes you reshared yesterday.... Rent free. RENT FREE. Do you listen to music while you do art? What songs inspire you? :)

WAHAH THANK YOU!! Ahhh this makes me happy!! Hehe love to get rent free real estate for my art :D

Oh I do listen to music when I draw! I still love Atmosphere a lot and I feel there have been years where I gushed so much about them that people are tired now :D In general I still like and listen to a lot of oldschool and underground hip hop. A lot by Rhymesayers, like Atmopshere, Evidence, Eyedea, Sa-Roc. But also Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, KRS-One, RZA, Nas. Lately I also have an odd (odd for me) latey 90s, early 2000 phase with some Dr. Dre, Eminem, Xibit, Knocturnal. Not sure where this is coming from. And right now I listen to the album Garbology by Aesop Rock. I do have a small Aran and Tao playlist with just some songs that made me think of them, that fit their world, or that I listened to while drawing them. You can check it out here.

But sometimes music isn't hitting right and I also have a lot of silly tv shows running in the back while I draw, that have nothing to do with the art I'm doing and are just easy entertainment and noise.

Animal Folks

This was a spiel I went on discord so I’ll just copy past her:

Ok so the thoughts. One thing I've always thought a lot about are the status of animal folks in DSP's worlds. Yea I know it's just one of those things we're just supposed to accept and not really think too much about but that's not fun and it's kinda fun to unravel. I just bring this up because I don't really feel there is really enough to say anything of certainty on the matter with what we've been presented and...I don't think there really is something (canonical) to be said. 

That out of the way the first thing I often think about is sentience--which animals have it, if all, and if that was something they have always had. What we do have confirmed is that there are animals who have the ability to take on a "humanoid" form, and are capable of critical thinking, emotion, and speech, and then some who cannot take on a humanoid form but still have the same capabilities. 

What isn't, confirmed is if there are animals who are not capable of this. Do they all think and feel or are there some who don't? Throughout WATGBS and TGG most of the leveling in the beginning was against fish, bees, butterflies, so forth. Some spoke (like the birds who were guarding the starfruit) and some didn't like the butterflies and sea bathers. As those latter two were just generic enemies as opposed to a baby-boss from a developer perspective you can chalk that up to giving speaking lines--even repeated flavor text to every enemy just being an unnecessary pain. 

Yet consolidating that in a narrative perspective is kinda difficult because 

1) If these ARE actual people it makes what the PC characters are doing kinda fucked up and 

2) They could have just as easily made them more sinister enemies. 

The fact that you can easily avoid all non-boss battles, and in this case have no reason to attack these creatures is just very odd. 

Whether all animals are people or not it's pretty clear that the laws of nature, so to speak, are still prevalent so one possibility I have considered is that within a certain radius of the kingdom, killing and eating one another is strictly forbidden. Outside of it, all is game. More than that, I do think though that animals who do not lack critical thought are still in existence, and indeed that those who have evolved to possess it are considered to be unnatural and have come about in an unnatural way. 

Now we are stepping into 100% headcanon territory. I feel that all those who have the capability to transform, have in some point in their ancestry have had someone who was a familiar to a witch. It was via their witch’s magic that they were able to gain those forms that then became something genetically passed on.

Ahhh kinda losing track of myself. There's something else I wanted to mention that I'm forgetting.

Ah right. Another thing I feel maybe leads to this conception of animals as lesser is the whole idea of familiarhood. To most others they see it nothing more as a form of slavery/being a pet that some willingly go into--even if the definition has broadened a little to include others it's still mostly seen as a thing that animals do and in fact any others who do it get criticized pretty harshly as a whole. So when they see some people who are familairs but against the idea of "pets" they are considered contradictory, shrilly, and incapable of making up their minds.

[cut]

I think the idea [of familiarhood] really is individually defined between witch and familiar. But most just. Assume the worst. I feel especially in Pitch World where there seems to be very much an idea of the strong get to do whatever they want with the weak that the idea of something like familiarhood seems like an admission of weakness and submissiveness.  

Like I can imagine that the contract between say...Fungas and Chlomaki is pretty lax. or if it wasn't in the beginning has become so over the years as their relationship grew. Given what we have seen of his attitude and the way he acts with Chlomaki theirs is definitely one where the love and friendship comes first and the idea of servitude second.

Whereas I imagine that between Lobco and Chlomaki there is a literal paper written contract which cites what Lobco would do for her, and in turn what Chlomaki would do for her services. Because Lobco has very sorta......definite ideas of what a familiar should be for a witch.  

 She takes her duties very, very seriously. Lmao, she's like Pearl. Witch comes first in everything. She gets Very Upset when someone tries to criticize familiarhood...but even more so when they call her Roc's pet and not just cause it's Roc. Like....she thinks that's even worse than when people call her toy because even if the latter is an inanimate object it doesn't have this incredibly ugly history attached to it

But yea overall animals? They are still seen by others as things to own.

On Elwine’s end I’ve shifted back and forth on how she would perceive this. At first I thought that she might be a little resentful of being part cat, especially since, as I mentioned in my previous post that makes her and Nadine anomalies among angels. She had been the type to deny that aspect of her.

Now, I don’t think she really does care about that or ever did since that was how Fumus created her, and if that’s how he wanted her to be then that’s how she should be. Furthermore, it just gives her all the more reason for a good excuse to rip people apart if they dare look down or criticize her for it. She wouldn’t truly care if they regarded her that way, but hey. If they do, then she’s got a good reason to start something.
