ANSWER 1 THROUGH 65 HO

65 Questions You Aren't Used To

WPOOOOO LETS GO

Y E E T

1. Do you ever doubt the existence of others than you?

nnnnooooooo. its called holding onto my last marble.

2. On a scale of 1-5, how afraid of the dark are you?

1. sometimes i can freak myself out going to the bathroom at night but bro. i take walks at like 11pm or whenever the hell i please. and i LIKE IT.

3. The person you would never want to meet?

i would not care to meet dick face

4. What is your favorite word?

worm

5. If you were a type of tree, what would you be?

well darn i dont really knowwww!!!!!!! the big jungle one from minecraft. but i love weeping willows of course.

6. When you looked in the mirror this morning what was the first thing you thought?

i didnt think

7. What shirt are you wearing?

my pyjama shirt from new vegas. las vegas. oh my god. not that i went there. my friend did. ive been wearing it for 3 days now. because its fine.

8. What do you label yourself as?

androgynouOOUUSSSSSSS i heard it described the most accurately for me as “in between blue and pink, purple is a blend while not being either of them.” yes this SPECIFICALLY. i could never be feminine while female presenting, but now that im usually read as masculine i go around seeming gay as fuck. and even though this sounds like heresy considering how i instinctively want to throat punch people who feminize me, i have comfortably considered myself a woman lately ONLYYYYYYYY BY being as butch as a butch can possibly butch. maybe without the cars. i would NEVER go by she/her NEVER NEVER NEVER. like there literally are butch women who go on T and use he/him pronouns. that brings me euphoria too and i find people reallllyyyyyy get mind-bent at this point. i really also get irritated at the idea that identifying with both lessens one or the other... thats why i like the purple thing so much. like im 100% of the thing. i was watching on queer eye, once, there was this part where all these women met up and one of them who was really masculine was saying how “a woman can look like this too” and i was like “i am probably crying for an important reason right now” and sometimes i feel attraction to women that is nOT of the ManTM just... i can do what i want.

but my point is it’s like im only happy if i have a blend. theres even a particular quality of it i can put my finger on, like a rugged, handsome feel... and then a flamboyant, passionate feel... mix em all up...

9. Bright room or dark room?

BRIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

GUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

10. What were you doing at midnight last night?

transition juice, or fucking around with cs paint with some gentle existential dread

11. Favorite age you’ve been so far?

this one, because my life is not hell, and i know a few basics about adulting now

12. Who told you they loved you last?

the sister. i said it for damage control because she had blown a fuse the other day. i was being very fake on purpose because i’m not being vulnerable with someone who will blow up. when she says it all i feel is pain. like cold paralyzing needles in my soul. i cant say i love you to her and mean it, even if i want to. honestly i wish people would say this to me. the most i love yous i remember are from family members putting band aids on the wreckage of our relationships, so i can feel a little twang of guilt and longing for what could have been and should have been. and feel like i should be doing something more. and feeling awkward because you both know they fucked up and it’s the elephant in the room. and i can feel their confusion and sickness causing them pain, feeling that pain for them.

13. Your worst enemy?

hmmm. anyone who made me feel like less than i am. anyone

14. What is your current desktop picture?

cherry blossoms and a city at night that i stole off the internet

15. Do you like someone?

like like crushes right? i fucking wish. i am so god damn sick of myself. i dont feel fuck or shit for anyone. its a fucking wasteland. yes im on T so i want to fuck anything that moves. and yet? can i please have some feelings? please may i have some feelings? not aesthetic appreciation. not moral, personality appreciation. or even just a deep respect and compassion. these are all fine things of course. but cant someone just drive me crazy? cant i have that extra spice of life? cant i just have a little bit of happy crazy? i will know a perfectly lovely person and ill WANT to have feelings for them. but i FUCKEN DONT. I DONT!!!! SHIT!!!!! WHAT IS THE MEANIGN?!?!??!??!?!1 i have fucking YET to meet anyone im more obsessed with than some really gay ocs. come on universe!!!! bring it!!! poor oscar. poor fucking oscar. whatever wavelength im vibing on man you are not on it. i wish you were on it. i wish you were on it oscar. you are hot you are hot with your bike oscar. and the rose quartz i gave you. the rose quartz you wanted. but i feel no authentic electric connection to you. i feel like all i just see is how your brain works with a coolheaded certainty. all i do is analyze what you are wearing so i can be as hot as you. maybe id like to draw you. and girls from work. you are so beautiful and amazing. i see you in bikinis on instagram. and im like oh beauty standards. look at you go, adhering to them. my heart rate goes right along at the same old pace. dont tell me this is principles. does someone have to smell bad? like edward cullen?? CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE JUST SEDUCE ME?!!!?? ID LOVE SOME EXTRA WILL TO LIVE! THEN MY STORIES WILL BE BETTER!!!! see this is the whole problem

16. The last song you listened to?

what am i to you by finn the human or actually that asgore fight song that i do not know the context of and dont want to until i play the game for myself

17. You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you blow up?

i would save this button for a karen.

18. Who would you really like to just punch in the face?

jk rowling. every time i see her face in a news article about why her bland new transphobia anvil book is pretty bland without addressing the raging transphobia in it and around it, i take a minute and contemplate shoving a pie in her face, and agonizing that i cannot do it from this distance.

19. If anyone could be your slave for a day, who would it be and what would they have to do?

a... slave? is this a kink thing? im fucking laughing this is going to be so honest. probably a toxic person from my past i have unresolved sexual tension with, especially since i was in my abused kid shell and was a huge doormat so now im all vengeful with issues. since this is totally something i am open to considering right now i would like to browse this concept’s menu

20. What is your best physical attribute? (showing said attribute is optional)

yknow what? yknow what? i am just going to say all of me. i am feeling very body positive right now. i often feel isolated as fuck because of trans stuff and male body standards, but thats Also What Makes Me Special :) i like me, i like my face, i think i am very cool and unique, and i can walk fast.

21. If you were the opposite sex for one day, what would you look like and what would you do?

GOD DAMN IT THIS FUCKING QUESTION AGAIN

22. Do you have a secret talent? If yes, what is it?

yes. but it’s a secret.

23. What is one unique thing you’re afraid of?

deep sea creatures. idk. even if its small and not even ugly. i just lose my fucking mind. i jump out of my chair. i get the heebies and the jeebies.

24. You can only have one kind of sandwich. Every sandwich ingredient known to humankind is at your disposal.

............................................................................

w h y

okay. i would go around tasting a bunch of fucking. really fancy old wines. listen i dont really drink okay. but with a very fancy old wine i can go around with a like, glass and look really sophisticated and tell gay things to gay people. hello boys. so id find one that strategically i would like the most for the rest of my life and choose it. and if its expensive i can sell it.

28. You discover a beautiful island upon which you may build your own society. You make the rules. What is the first rule you put into place?

As it turns out, Death is actually a pretty cool entity, and happens to be in a fantastic mood. Death offers to return the friend/family-member/person/etc. of your choice to the living world.

34. What was your last dream about?

wolves with bombs were chasing me around a giant university. it was all part of the game. i was trying to protect some people... soldiers were chasing me... i was hiding under the floor... hiding from authorities and war are VERY common dreams for me

37. Have you ever built a snowman?

yes

38. What is the color of your socks?

they have inuyashas on them

39. What type of music do you like?

dark, longing, aching, angry, raw, disappointed, serious, low songs that get intense as fuck.

40. Do you prefer sunrises or sunsets?

sunrises for the concept, sunsets for the looks

41. What is your favorite milkshake flavor?

you know what? i dont really like milkshakes. they dont feel good in my tummy even if it’s not my stomach having a fucking meltdown.

42. What football team do you support? (I will answer in terms of American football as well as soccer)

the fuck is football

43. Do you have any scars?

yes, most of them are from dermatillomania, two big cool-looking ones on my hands from touching a cookie sheet without an oven mitt and pouring microwaved coffee all over my thumb because literally every inch of the counter had a foot of dishes on it and i didn’t simply heat up the water normally because everything was dirty

44. What do you want to be when you graduate?

i want to be a psychologist and an author

45. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

id like a dong please

46. Are you reliable?

yeeeeeesssssss...... but the adhd wins sometimes

47. If you could ask your future self one question, what would it be?

future self: even if you’re in a worse off place than where i am right now, don’t regret anything, don’t beat yourself up. sometimes it’s realistic to have hope. you don’t have to be hard on yourself all the time just because it’s familiar and natural to you. so stop thinking “if i see a note from my past self ill be filled with rueful self awareness”

48. Do you hold grudges?

yes. i feel like im saving my soul a little and taking some power back when i am able to say “that hurt, that was wrong, and you don’t get access to me anymore, i don’t have to forgive you” it’s admitting that my own pain is real so i can listen to and protect myself. i wish i was more of a forgiving person but i spent too much time trying to forgive unorganically for the sake of being moral that i just can’t, can’t can’t now. it hurts so existentially and i deserve better. time for me to be mean and hold grudges. a little mean is okay.

49. If you could breed two animals together to defy the laws of nature, what new animal would you create?

a DOG CAT????????

50. What is the most unusual conversation you’ve ever had?

“doesn’t having a human-shaped robot with smoke coming out of it in the corner of your shop scare you late at night?”

“yes, sometimes i see it and jump a little”

51. Are you a good liar?

yes, when i’m dedicated. getting my birth certificate back? oscar worthy

52. How long could you go without talking?

i live like this lmao

53. What has been you worst haircut/style?

once upon a time i had bangs. and a bob cut

54. Have you ever baked your own cake?

yes bitch

55. Can you do any accents other than your own?

yes bitch i can do a convincing british accent but i don’t want to broadcast that fact because being british is cringe and plus my name is gordon and im already trans and interested in cooking and my greatest fear is that people think i am trying to become him when i am deeply offended when people assume i make personal decisions for anyone other than myself. no one has ever actually voiced this theory to me but it haunts me late at night. i can honestly probably do any accent if i listen to it for a little bit. i find it very easy to imitate sounds and like individual speaking styles to the point of stealing them even when i dont want to. like actually this is something that just comes to me easily i think.

56. What do you like on your toast?

fuck toast. i make a grill cheese. cheese and garlic.

57. What is the last thing you drew a picture of?

i tried digitally painting a generic girl who ended up looking really simliar to someone i went to school with only i made the eyes way too small and i would show you except it’s too much work

58. What would be you dream car?

vw bug with giant monster wheels, black with flames, big booming stereo. eyelashes in a drag way. ill run pickup trucks off the road

59. Do you sing in the shower? Or do anything unusual in the shower? Explain.

i sang in the shower back when i felt free to annoy everyone in the house. oH WAIT IT DOESNT ANNOY PEOPLE WHO ARE KIND TO ME

...........

they taught me i was annoying. ANYWAY. i am too shy to sing in the shower but id love to. i dont really do anything unusual except that i take really long in there but yknow im not actually doing what people think im doing when i take long. im literally just sitting there decomposing, head empty.

60. Do you believe in aliens?

yes, of course, i have been telling everyone theres water under mars since day one and now look. now look

61. Do you often read your horoscope?

yes. im a sagittarius and clearly it is needed because CLEARLY theres no other fucking sagittariuses

62. What is your favorite letter of the alphabet?

G, because my name starts with that and i’m just great. really, i like... it has a chonk to it. like a reliable chonk to it

63. Which is cooler: dinosaurs or dragons?

YKNOW WHAT? im going with dragons because of the fantasy, fire breathing and so on but yknow for my wip i was going to have both dragons and dinosaurs at a reptile like shelter

64. What do you think about babies?

i think they should be loved and nurtured, but they are too much work for me to want for myself at this point of life, and you should definitely read some manuals before having one if you can because people can and do mess this the fuck up

65. Freebie! Ask anything interesting you can think of.

you didn’t ask anything here so im just going to tell you something. i am going to tell you that i have always been so hell bent on writing even when i hate it because sometimes when things are going well i feel like i am just so in another world and i feel like im doing something im really really supposed to do. it is such a euphoria and it has an effect on my whole aura. i really wish i had never made myself stop but we can’t change the past so i shall just have to never stop again.

THANKS HOOOOO

Mortasheen Ectosaurian Generator

A player race Generator I thought up to go along with @bogleech ‘s Ectosaurs for his mortasheen project, Co-Created by @titleknown (thanks for helping me out!)

Ectosaurians are a mysterious race of Paraliving beings with the some of the same properties as the ectosaurs of their namesake. Born from a single female individual who arose around the time ectosaurs were first rediscovered as tiny, tadpole-like larvae who live as unnoticeable, invisible and intangible parasites who are forced into adulthood only by a traumatic event to its host. they are capable of intangibility, levitation and all ectosaurians’ slime has a slight sedative effect on the ectosaurs themselves.

The Generator:

(if you roll duplicate or contradictory traits, feel free to choose one or neither and re-roll)

Roll 1D4 for amount of rolls, then 1D20 for Body stuffs:

1- Salamander-like body 2- Trilobite carapace somewhere on person 3- Dunkleosteous Head 4- fleshy pterosaur wings 5- Large, lidless, fish like eyes 6- Pale, almost blind looking eyes 7- no eyes 8- many crustacean like legs and small claws 9- segmented body 10- large, paddle like flippers 11- Whirling Chameleon eyes 12- a long, tube-like snout 13- stalked eyes 14- body gives the appearance of an external skeleton 15- bipedal sauropod 16- squat tetropod 17- external lungs acting like hot air balloons or ballasts 18- long, scalpel like fingers 19- huge, yawning, frog-like maw 20- tentacular limbs

roll 1D10 for Major colors:

1- Red 2- Green 3- Blue 4- purple 5- yellow 6- orange 7- black 8- grey 9- pink 10- brown

Roll 1D10 for Slime:

1- no effect 2- extremely elastic and gooey, can be used as adhesive 3- Dries and flakes extremely quickly and is very irritating to mucus membranes 4- Attracts arthropods and invertebrates from far and wide and throws them in a frenzy 5- Extremely slick and highly efficient lubricant 6- Hardens as it dries into a tough, resin-like material 7- Causes intense itching to the point of all other neural input being useless 8- "GhostForge" slime, can make tiny Pseudospirits of slime from the personalities of consumed prey 9- Slime proficiency is funneled into its natural Ecto-sedative properites 10- This Ectosaurian is actually an oozosaurian! and can make weak, temporary slime ghouls from some creatures

aesthetic charts:

Roll a 1D8 for the amount of times you roll, then Roll again for which aesthetic tables you roll traits from.

1- Elements 2- B-movie monsters 3- Aliens 4- Cartoons

5-artificial

6- Haunt abilities 7- toys 8- Kinks

Elements table:

1- psiconic tic that subconsciously pulls water to it's presence, the longer it sticks around the more damp it may become, sometimes to the point of flooding 2- produces extreme amounts of sweltering, humid heat 3- Saps all the heat from its immediate area, causing condensation and frost 4- Psiconic tic that subconsciously creates strong whirlwinds and gales around it constantly 5- unique form of intangibility that allows fluid manipulation/melding with solid rock and earth 6- Paratissues absorb large amounts of light in its environment, darkening the immediate area even as itself glows 7- Completely neutral to all elements, Psiconic tic subconsciously neutralizes most environments to become immediately favorable 8- Psiconic tic subconsciously manipulates reality in a subtle way; things dont react to contact immediately, its body moves faster than it should possibly go, statistical/mathematical/physical inconsistencies

1- Radioactive 2- mental tic to kidnap those they find attractive 3- blood sucker 4- Paratissues are more like dense foam than rubber and are significantly heavier, moves awkwardly and in slow motion 5- may possess a secondary, more dexterous body within it’s primary one 6- all vocalizations sound like half efforts and insincere 7- putty-like paratissues flow in the direction that the individual is heading, giving the appearance of stop motion animation 8- mental waves may cause weaker willed creatures to stand in place and scream in terror for extended periods of time

Always.

Haunt habits Table:

1- Residual slime begins reproducing itself independent of the ectosaurian, slowly taking on a metallic red hue 2- telekinetic tic, randomly flings objects without intention 3- psiconic ability to project light and sound at a distance to create illusions 4- Can mimic most any voice heard 5- Slime leaves an extremely sulfurous smell when dried 6- Overwhelming and nearly uncontrollable urge to slime things 7- Mental tic, if they see someone sleeping, theyre overwhelmed with the urge to switch their pillow from their head to their feet 8- Psiconic tic, subconsciously pulls electrical storms to its area

1- Compulsively absorbs all water it comes in contact with like a sponge 2- large, flattened hands at the end of long, whip-like arms or tail 3- eyes are lazy and the external surface of the eyes are covered in a plastic like substance 4- Paratissues are barely stable, making the ectosauring extremely goopy, to the point of almost being slime themselves 5- Paratissues are extremely hardened, taking on a plastic like feel 6- Constantly dribbles copious amounts of slime from every orifice 7- Pressure points manifest as large plates that cause reflexive actions upon applying pressure 8- Can combine with other ectosaurians with this trait in order to create a single larger and more exponentially more powerful ectosaur!

Kink table As suggested by @titleknown (Optional, if you feel uncomfortable using anything from this table feel free to Re-roll aesthetic):

1- Body is Highly Elastic and craves large, live prey 2- Polymorphic body allows for extreme flexibility and short term transformation 3- Huge Body, bloated with slime and or gasses 4- Large, cumbersome and mostly useless mammaries (present even if male) 5- Constantly producing offspring in body, and it shows (Applies even if male) 6- Putty-like paratissues allow for melding and separating with other sentient beings at will with varying degrees of control 7- Mental tic, Impulsively consumes all morsels of food in sight without control 8- Pleasure is pleasure and pain is orgasmic pleasure. Its just pleasurable all around. you lucky dog

for the overwatch asks, 7, 12, 13!

7. The most aesthetically pleasing character

oh man i feel like the answer depends on whether this question means ‘neat character design’ or ‘wow this character’s attractive’

i will leave you with hanzo and symmetra* and allow you to draw your own conclusions on how to interpret that**

12. A character I wish I was better at

all of them no okay gut reaction is tie between genji and mccree but im gonna have to give it to genji cause like

im okay at mccree, and ive gotten better over time, so i can continue to get better over time

for genji tho like

im the Gold Objective Time Genji (reblog to make your teammates stay on the payload in 2017) but thats literally my only redeeming quality as him i cannot do any of the things a genjis actually supposed to do

13. My favorite ultimate

ooooohhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm im gonna have to go with graviton surge cause it can be SUCH a game changer, and its fun to have team synergy moments like that***

*honorable mention to pharah but like i have to stop listing characters at some point

**both come on theyre all both goddamn why is everyone in this game so pretty

***more honorable mentions to transcendence, for being able to completely negate the effectiveness of like half the other ults (including zaryas) (although fuck you ana grenade what a pisser) and nano boost - team coordination and also suddenly making it be effective is Somebody Elses Problem (whoever i Q on, HAVE FUN)

What is the future of design in a Snapchat world?

Image: snapchat

Lets be honest: Snapchat has defied conventional design aesthetic and user experience.

By any objective measure, the app should not have been a successful endeavor. Yet, here we are. Snapchat is one of the most popular interactive platforms in the digital space. It has more users than LinkedIn, Pinterest, or Twitter, and its daily video views have increased 400% year over year.

The app is poised to continue its explosive growth because it gives the end user something that they didnt even know they wanted and now cant seem to live without. As someone who believes in the value of design, this disconnect has always intrigued me.How could something that breaks traditional aspects of design be so popular?

Our Approach

This question illuminates the evolution of design value. Outside of tried and true methods, smart visual aesthetics and well-thought user experiences, designing for the Snapchat world (and frankly, the future) has become more about what resonates with humans and their needs and whether or not it works.

But why does it work when you break the rules? It works because people are human and they have unique needs. Designers need to consider this above all else. The other piece thats interesting is Snapchat exists not because the apps experience is great, but because of immediacy, informality, and instant video. It allows people to create content that requires no thought, no editing, and no polish an approach users have clearly found increasingly irresistible.

At Ready Set Rocket, we believe the success of Snapchatdespite its deficiencieshints at a new definition for what “good design means.

Good design is distinctive, coherent, and effective (even if it isnt traditionally attractive)

You can see this principle in action in other places as well. Reddit, for example, has long prioritized authenticity and content over aesthetics and also continues to thrive. For them and many others, good design means thinking bigger, not thinking perfect a lesson we should all pay attention to.

The same goes for meme culture. Memes have aided in the liberation of amateur visuals. Theyre quick, down and dirty, unpolished graphics yet highly effective at communicating a thought or emotion across a range of demographics.

So how do you design in this new world? We give our team three key pieces of advice.

1. Be Courageous

Always try something new. Just because an approach is out there and established does not mean its the right solution.We are a young discipline in a young industry, and while its tempting to fall back on whats been tried and proven, thats not always the best answer for the problem you are trying to solve.

This requires swapping perfectionism for experimentation. For some brands, this means being ugly to get a response (thinkBloomberg Businessweek) or being distinct even when that appears unpolished at first blush (seethe new Met museum logo).

Its our responsibility as designers to push the boundaries for the right solution, especially since in many cases, the right solution doesnt exist yet.

2. Design for the forest, not the trees

Yes, perfect kerning on one layout is great, but what really makes something successful these days is how well it works across multiple touches. Thats why, when jumping into design, an approach we encourage on our team is getting 80% done as quickly as possible before polishing.

One way we encourage this is with an exercise called Crazy Eights. Adapted from Google Ventures, this practice challenges designers to use pencil and paper to rapidly sketch 8 potential solutions to a design problem in 8 minutes before stepping back to decide on an approach.This forces us to identify the right direction before getting too far in the weeds, resulting in more strategic designs and a more efficient process than the traditional polish-as-you-go workflow.

Throughout this process, focus on multiplicity. A single experience is the result of many design pieces working together in a beautiful way. This, of course, requires more complex thinking. However, the ability to apply one consistent vision across many working parts is ultimately the key to creating an evocative experience.

A great example is Maple, David Changs premium Manhattan food delivery service. From the site and app through to the food containers and vests for delivery, the experience is absolutely seamless. While the design is clean and simple, its clear that most of the thought and energy has gone into ensuring every single detail of the customers journey is impeccably guided. The result is absolutely best-in-class.

3. Remember: Its for everyone else, not just for you

Empathy. Something every designer needs to consider above all else. As designers, were making websites, apps, things for real human beings who have specific mindsets and goals. We often forget to put ourselves in someone elses shoes and instead focus on what it looks like or how it functions in a vacuum versus in real life.

End-to-end, good design doesnt need to be overly complicated but rather should aim to solve a larger challenge. Casper, the mattress company, does an impeccable job at turning empathy into design that works in the real world. They leveraged a real human truth (mattress shopping sucks and delivery is difficult) to develop a simply designed, smart product and even more delightful shopping experience.

Beyond this, the makers of Casper didnt have to design a product that fit inside of a box to simplify the lives of everyone else despite cost implications on the companys bottom line. They did it anyway.

Conclusion

Design in a Snapchat world is design with a much larger definition. As technology continues to evolve, so too do user expectations and the necessity of crafting coherent experiences with multiple touch points across lots of different media. Keeping up requiresthinking in systems rather than thinking in standards putting design in a position to have greater impact on a business than ever before.

Basic systematic rules, such as visual consistency and clear UI, used to guide every designers approach to creating an app or website. These were obvious goals for any given project. Not necessarily easy to accomplish, but accepted across the board as what to strive for. However, all that is changing.Technology trends and user expectations are constantly in flux, forcing major shifts in design thinking.

Following the rules is no longer a prerequisite to success, and as weve seen with the overwhelming popularity of Snapchat, breaking them can even be an effective strategy.
