Hmm. I really don't know. There's a lot of amazing animators and artists I've seen. Sorry, can't decide what to answer with. I haven't had a favorite visual arti-

Actually, if you don't mind, I prefer "artists", though instead of who i find to be my favorite, but rather whose work i find to be notable--

Zarla, or "zarla-s". Not Zarla Au (just making sure). This is mostly due to her creating one of my favorite webcomics named "Handplates", from when I really loved Undertale. It's actually still ongoing, and is still an interesting read even without prior knowledge of Undertale's lore.

It's not a very accurate answer as to who's my favorite, but their work has been the most impactful and insightful of them, maybe they might as well be.

http://zarla-s.tumblr.com/tagged/handplates/chrono

check the index first though, that has all the pages lined up and ordered. that link takes you to a starting page piled on top of by other stuff, where it gets a little unordered from there. you should see something say [index] in one of the posts for thee actual handplates webcomic.

Oh cool, seems pretty dark.
Reminds me I should finish Undertale sometime, dropped it like half a year ago then forgot to return, was enjoying it though so idk why.



Aaron Horkey. But currently I'm really enjoying Glyn Smyth's work

Q: Have you met any of your musical inspirations in person?
Achromalia
Not that I recall. The closest I've gotten has been talking to them on their Discord server or in the YouTube comment section.

I checked out Aaron's and Glyn's work. I think your work has a similar style to theirs. It's pretty cool.

What sort of tone in music would you most prefer? Dark and moody? Heavy and gritty? Hauntingly serene? Uplifting?
DJ Enetro
Uplifting, if at all possible.
The next best would be one that gives me a sense of analytics, like this one:

JK, but I really can tell... I have no favorite novel, the kind with only text, you see. I fall asleep quickly depending on the pages' size, which doesn't let me enjoy XD

Either "Aharen-san can't measure" (Jp.: 阿波連さんははかれない) or "Since the Moon exploded" (Jp.: 月が爆発したので).

The Dorito shaped crow from that one episode of Nichijou. Mainly because he's cute, but also with this hot sun and the flies being everywhere, I'd like to just do this:



Is there any talent (e.g. the ability to sing) you wish you had?
Achromalia
Hmm. I honestly... don't really know. I guess the talent of singing would be something I'd really like to have, and I could put to good use considering the poems I make for my signatures here.

But... I'm not sure if I really want anything.

What I already have as talents, the affinity for creating art and music, is pretty much all i need to be satisfied. If anything, I would like to perfect my pre-existing talents.

I have to go off of things I am not good at, and don't already have a talent for. I can't go off of things I haven't tried or at least things I know I wouldn't want to do or wouldn't find useful.

...I don't even know, I'm actually happy with what I have, and I just want to get better at what I like.

But... thought I don't think I would've imagined myself saying this now, but singing would be a nice talent. I don't know if I already am a decent singer, but it'd be nice to be.

I could think of something else to replace that later, but it's not coming to mind right now.

Rook
To be able to sing, for sure.

Where would your ideal place to live be? (If you wish, you can disregard Society/Politics)
Achromalia
Hmm. If it were possible to disregard social stuff as factors...

I don't know. Ishikawa, Japan seems like a pretty nice place to go to. I don't go outside for much and I don't interact with many people outside. I can adapt to learning different languages if I have to, and since Japanese is a syllabic language, it would be pretty interesting to learn. Inflection would be an interesting concept to be mindful of.

I mean, there are probably a lot of other places I'd like to go, but I guess this is one of them.

how about you?

sq.
Rook
The Scottish Highlands, it's the type of landscape and nature I love, it's secluded as well without being so far from civilisation.
Although send me to Peru if we're talking about disregarding Society. Outright beautiful place.

What are your beliefs? Do you consider yourself Agnostic, Atheist or are you Religious?
Achromalia
At this point, an atheist. I did grow up in a religious organization I'd rather not be associated with. Pretty sure it's getting popular as both a religious movement and as a topic for what it's been doing.

Welp. I was your typical born-in Jehovah's Witness.

I eventually saw a lot of things that didn't add up and as i kept questioning, they kept shunning. Luckily, I'm a fader, I didn't wind up disfellowshipped, neither did i disassociate. I just stopped doing things, left my impression as "neutral", and that's it.

I wonder if they noticed my disappearance. If so, I also wonder if they addressed it and shunned me publicly as well.

But yeah, religious stuff just doesn't suit well with me. I have a currently neutral standpoint on religion as a whole.

sq.
Rook
Thats actually very interesting to hear, especially about how you handled things.
I'm agnostic, I used to be atheist and hard on the side of science when I was younger, up until I was 16-17 really. I don't support the following of religion or religious sects (although finding faith in a recognised religion is completely fine and respectable), although I do value their affect on culture, on tradition and their artistry, but I think organised following is a relic of the past. To the same degree, I don't agree with people that only think scientifically about the world, to say you know better than someone that believes in a magical cloud man or whatever is to say you're a fool, afterall, all you're believing is what another man's research has led to. But thats not to say I deny or just don't trust science, of course, rather i'm weary of people that just believe in theories they've heard because it sounds like the smart thing to do, because it's the easiest answer for them to consider.

Do you/have you ever had a celebrity crush?

What time do you go to bed at?
Achromalia
It heavily varies. At the moment, I can sleep anywhere from 1 AM to around 6 AM as an average range. Sometimes I stay up the whole night, until around 7 or 8 AM. I occasionally take 2 to 4-hour naps if my sleep schedule winds up incredibly inconsistent. Also on average, I get about 4 hours of sleep in a 36-hour period of time due to me being an idiot, pulling all-nighters.

Isshiki Kaname
Usually 3 AM. Dreaded Computers...

Have you even faked being sick?
Achromalia
No, not that I recall. I grew up to be pretty honest. Back in elementary school, if I really had to take a shit and felt like I wanted to go home, I'd let staff know. If I got shoved into a tree, scraping the back of my arms and pretty much skinning them on the rough bark from the shoulder to the elbow until they started bleeding, and felt like I could handle it on my own, I'd do so until it gets bad, then I would let staff know. Shit like that. Faking being sick? I'd imagine almost anyone would at some point think of it, meaning I probably though of it too. Whether or not I did anything about it, I don't know.

Yes. Missed an exam completely by misreading the schedule and the makeup was the only way to re-take it.

What is your opinion on mablets?

No opinion, aside from it being an unfamiliar concept or thing. Perhaps it was misspelled or not given proper context.

If you had to choose one more genre to listen to for the whole day, would you try Breakcore?
Horaizon-
I don't breakcore but maybe I'll listen to it

If you have the choice for one thing, would you rather have all the basic necessities you need but no wifi or no basic necessities but you have wifi
Achromalia
I'd be alright with not having wi-fi to be able to have what I need to live. I'm still able to do some of the things I'd want without wi-fi, though I'd be heavily limited to feedback and I wouldn't be able to learn as much as I have.

That sort of question belongs in the "This or That?" thread, but it's alright if it's here, I guess. It does say "ask the person below you anything", after all.

As stupid as it might sound, I legitimately would like to learn Japanese, it would be pretty helpful for translating and I can do collabs with those who sing, understand, and speak Japanese, thus increasing my potential audience.

if you were in an alternate reality where you never played osu, how would that be different to you?
Achromalia
I wouldn't have made the friends that I now have. Though osu! itself was a pretty nice thing to come by, the people i met within this community have indirectly helped me evolve into who I am now. It's been a great help.

Without osu!, I'd be looking for something else to help deal with whatever shit I dealt with a few years ago aside from my music and art, and I'd likely be focus on those a bit more as I'd probably have a hard time finding anything else to do.

I'd also have a harder time talking to people than I already do. I wouldn't have learned of some of these genres either, namely and most importantly Artcore, Breakcore and Speedcore.

In a sense, it's a bit of a coping mechanism, and helped me broaden my perspective in little indirect ways.



What are your thoughts on Breakcore as a genre?

I dont know if anime or even animatics count as movies, but...

the most recent anime i've watched was Denpa Kyoushi.

the most recent animated short film i've seen is "UFO" by SHSK9 Studios.

the most recent "movie" i've watched was... probably something i didnt really care much about, as i dont really remember it.



what are your thoughts on the strange young flipaclip "animation meme" communities?
Dialect
Well, I can say in terms of personality (even though these 2 don't use Flipaclip, but still do animation memes), Wolfychu and Jordan Sweeto are the worst..

The community is pretty crap. Even though they introduced some people to new songs (e.g Marble Soda), the other part of the community is just some UT shit.

If you had to choose, would you rather be stuck in the Sonic Community or the UT (Undertale) Community?
Achromalia
the Undertale community. I'm somewhat fond of it. the trick is to just be reclusive and not be involved in their shenanigans.

the Sonic community seems alright as well but i dont really know much of it as i never really got into Sonic stuff.

Interesting question, actually. I tend to find that dipping my hands in cold water helps to relieve stress, but otherwise I blow off steam playing a game such as Warframe. However, I find that it's just best for me to dip my hands in cold water and then lie down for 1 or 2 minutes. Honestly, try it.

What are your opinions on the current gaming landscape? Keep in mind that this does include more than just the AAA games so the indie, F2P and generally more obscure markets within the gaming industry do count.
Rook
I don't play as large of a pool of games as I used to, but, it's doing good... I think. Perhaps the indie scene isn't thriving as much as a few years ago, besides that I'd say the AAA companies are pushing out some solid/promising games. F2P market seems to still be in motion with the Battle Royale fever, although thats happened countless times in the recent past with HS clones and MOBA madness, so it's nothing new. Happy Nintendo seems to be getting their shit together again.

Honestly, I just plan on improving at what I do and make more things for people to enjoy. In short, my goal is to create and improve. I might even say it always has been my goal.

love is defined as, by the dictionary, an intense feeling of deep affection. obviously, there are other ways people try to explain this to others, such as "when you like someone", or "you'll know when you know". personally, i tend to think love as when you feel happy doing something you've aspired to do for a long period of time, whether it be several months or years. this feeling could also be shared with someone else, which is what i feel to be the primary definition of almost everyone in the world. doing something you're happy doing with someone you want to do it with. lewd? maybe. but fuck it. this is the internet, goddammit. go find your own definition.

What’s your biggest regret in life?
Achromalia
I'm not certain, but...

I regret not realizing everything sooner, from the redundancy and to the futility of life. I would've at least started to focus on the things happening around me back then, that my parents had practically been ceaseless in confronting each other. I could've stopped all this before it happened. I'd stop getting distracted on that fucking tank game I had been addicted to and relied upon for a means of escape from life, from reality, and I'd actually be capable of taking control of my life from there.

That's all I can say.
