How I Feel When I Talk About G/t To My Friends Who Don't Know Anything About It

How I feel when I talk about G/t to my friends who don't know anything about it

Theres been some chatter going on about G/t writers not getting enough recognition in the community- I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a little writers spotlight/prompts/challenge month to not only encourage writers, but encourage others to reblog, comment and find other creators in the community.

Probably too many for one ask but I didn't want to miss anyone out lol

What’s Aedes' sleep schedule like?

Aedes is nocturnal by nature- It's easiest to prey on humans among other things in the dark/while they're sleeping. Sunlight tends to make him feel open and exposed, where as darkness acts almost as a security blanket for him. Though his sleeping habits are notably impacted by the presence of June...

What does June absolutely need to have to fall asleep?

As hinted at in the first chapter of Bite Me, June sleeps with an open window- she needs a room cold and preferably having fresh air.

Does Sal have any hobbies?

ABSOLUTELY - That lil gremlin is always looking for new things to do/try. He loves working with his hands, crafting tools, wood working, even sewing (specifically accessories for his 8 legged ladies). A lot of his hobbies are born out of necessity for his life style (foraging, climbing, hunting, etc..) but if we're talking specifically for fun/to pass time he loves to take things apart. Lil man loves to figure out how things work and will disassemble and attempt to reassemble things he's interested in. Do not leave him unattended with valuables.

What’s Betty's favorite food?

Betty is SPOILED! She particularly likes crickets as they're more fun to hunt, but taste wise she has a bit of a sweet tooth fang and and Sal absolutely spoils her with strawberries from time to time. You know those videos of pet owners putting together those very extra meals for their pets? That is 100% Sal with Betty. He insists she prefers Rosey Maple Moths, and will pair it with a nectar source to make it "extra special/pretty" for his precious girl. He's even taken to cooking isopods/potato bugs for her as an occasional treat.

What’s something dumb Mark's embarrassed about?

Ironically enough- his height. Mark is around 5ft3 is fairly self conscious about it.

What gestures does Bram really appreciate? How do you get on their good side?

Value wise Bram deeply respects courage, specifically being able to make sacrifices for others. He's not fond of people pleasing niceties and much prefers direct and blunt communication.

Tangible gestures?

He likes food.

Feed him and it goes straight to his heart (Homeboy craves to be nurtured).

How well can Dawn bake?

Dawn is quite the baker, and cook in general. She's close with a few Mennonites (who also happen to run a local bakery) and learned a lot of her baking techniques though them. She doesn't bake sweets too often, usually making them for Holidays/special occasions, though she does make her own bread!

What’s something Tamius will never understand?

Women

Tamius doesn't see the appeal of sports, more specifically high intensity/contact sports. He understands the joys of competition, as well as being physically active, and being able to defend oneself is important- yet the thought of doing it for some self imposed sense of duty? Fun? Not out of preparation/ self preservation, but to put your body through undue strain and harm for what? the amusement of others? Baffling.

Does Rose have a green thumb or are they a plant killer?

FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK THIS.

Rose is a plant hoarder. Her entire home is just filled with greenery (Which Tamius quite appreciated in terms of quick/easy hiding spots).

Part four of the poll story; choice B! B) Cautiously mention that while there isn’t anything here, there’s something right next door. “Umm.. my neighbor has a cat…”

You glance around the apartment, then turn back to Ralyr.  “I don’t have any pets, but my neighbor has a cat.”  His little ears twitch at the word.  “You’ll be safe from it here, though,” you add quickly.  Ralyr cracks his knuckles, smiling smugly. “It’ll want to stay safe from me by the time I’m done with it.”  A shocked laugh escapes your throat, and you shake your head admonishingly.  He finishes the last pieces of food that you offered him — thanking you again for letting him have them — and steps around you, heading further into your home.  “Do you want me to show you around?” you ask as he passes by, “Where are you going?”  “To your neighbor’s,” Ralyr answers nonchalantly.

Your eyes widen, eyebrows shooting upward.  “Don’t worry; I’ll be back soon and you can show me around then.”  You can’t help but stare at him, incredulous.  Wasn’t he joking?  “I… thought you’d want to get away from a predator.  You ran from me..”

Ralyr slows to a halt and turns to look back at you, studying you for a long moment.  “Well, you’re bigger than a cat,” he tells you jokingly.  “But I.. didn’t want to hurt you, or for you to be frightened of me afterwards.”  He rubs a hand sheepishly over the back of his head, seeing a small smile drifting onto your face.  You think that was an awfully sweet gesture, especially because he wasn’t the slightest bit frightening. In fact, he had first seemed much more frightened of you than you were of him.

“I’m paying the cat a visit to do something..  How do I explain?  I think humans call it shapeshifting?  I didn’t want you to freak out about it, but.. Nevermind.  I’ll just show you.  Are you willing to bring me to where this cat lives?”

Do you: A) Think for a moment, then ask “Are you going to hurt it?” You’re afraid whatever he plans to do will go badly for the cat, or him.

B) You nod, interested to see what’ll happen. C) “Well.. I-”  You pause, recognizing something.  “Wait, shapeshifter?  You’re a shapeshifter?”

D) Worriedly reply: “I don’t want to be blamed for any pet injuries from the neighbors.  Do you mind staying like that while you’re here?”
