Got a three-fer, so far. 1.) "]-[ave y[]u ]-[eard []f [[]ns[]rТТs? w]-[i[]-[ []nes d[] y[]u li]{e ТТ]-[e m[]sТТ" Consorts. Those are the game critters right? I think the salamander that posts on here in emojis is cute. Beyond that, um. I think the other Hope's consorts were either bipedal foxes or red pandas? Pretty goddamn cute, I only saw them for a second, though. 2.) "Does being part cat have more benefits or drawbacks overall?" From Someone. Uh. Benefits mainly? This came in two forms, the curse and then the retcon. When it was the curse, it got worse, I got digitigrade legs and cat eyes, the former made me have to relearn walking for a bit, with fears of going full housecat. The witch removed her curse later though. The retcon, however, is permanent. It's been mostly beneficial. My balance is unreal because of the tail, and my hearing is way better than it used to be. It's got some drawbacks. Some cat adjacent behaviors like enjoying being pet and, um, other things feel like a weakness to me but others say its endearing. The purring is neutral. People like it, I tend to not notice that I do it. 3.) "what's your favorite memory?" I think, the favorite memory I have at the moment is tied. A. ) I just got done traveling an America back home on foot and hitchhiking from New York City to Los Angeles. I was tired, and finally got to the address my cousin shared with me. A fabulous estate in the Hollywood hills. I was completely out of place. But after gathering the nerves, I approached, and I knocked at their door. A few minutes pass, and a woman I just knew I would one day look like opened the door. She wasn't my mom, not really, but she was a Hope Nichols's mother, one who was no longer around. She saw me, and knew, I was her daughter. We embraced. I got welcomed into a life I never had, 24 years late. B.) The other, waking up in my partners arms, bright and early, but still sleeping in with her. I remember watching the sunlight beam down from the window onto her. Tracing my fingers along her beautiful face, over her cybernetics, and through her hair. She's lived through as much a harrowing life, death, and life again as I had, and now here she is, serene, peaceful. Happy. Tears run down my eyes as i just take in the moment. Finally, someone I could spend time with. Aaah. Um. more questions can be answered, if folks want to ask. https://forms.gle/LNH7goT67tfqDuFMA #askhope
