Q: Why do you prefer buying orthopedics these days? Is there a particular reason you’re not into gothic platforms anymore?
A: modern mary janes usually are missing durability or comfort. orthopedics have to be durable and comfortable because of the crowd they're made for while they're also much cheaper than a durable gothic brand shoe. i have other shoes that aren't orthopedics also... i just.. never have had to replace them because i try to get things that will never break.. so i never buy anything else haha. this is really important to me nowadays cause i used to buy my shoes from overseas early on, but it's just too expensive to ship stuff nowadays.
also, i also just have a lot of people in my life who are nurses or have disabilities which helps me find shoe brands (nurses often wear orthopedics because they are on their feet all day). i don't have a disability that requires orthopedics myself or anything if that is what you're wondering. an uncomfortable shoe is something i just cannot stand, especially since i walk more than the average person. alegrias are my shoe of choice but there's lot of cute orthopedic mary janes out there. you can even find them in normie malls. i just like boxy shoes haha.

Q: what is your favorite egl print/piece that you own, and favorite that you DON'T have?
A: My favorite EGL piece I don't own is hm Puff OP Sleeve Set by N+aH. Looking at it causes me to experience pain and feel as though I will vomit blood if it does not come into my possession. It is just a beautiful item, and it feels like my soul in a dress.
It's just been out of stock for as long as I can remember and also it's $333... I've been a lot on EGL pieces though this would be my most expensive purchase ever- right above Teddy Gobelin.

Q: Have you ever thought about sharing some coordination tips with other lolitas? Or maybe how you put your outfits together?
A: This is a sweet question.. to be honest, I think i don't really have anything to add to the subject that hasn't been stated by others. there's lots of lolita coord how-tos, and i feel like i'd just provide bad advice ^^;
While I don't consider myself a beginner lolita, I still feel like a novice when it comes to putting coords together in that I am always playing it safe haha! I think the best thing you can do is look at scans, magazines, and other sources then pick apart what you like about the coords and try to do something similar. I think a lack of familiarity with how lolita coords look is where new lolitas fail :-) And when you know how they look, you can do cool shit while still looking in the realm of lolita you know?

Q: What I wanted to say was as a fellow lolita and artist your work speaks so much to me... your art and writing are so great and feel so true to many of my feelings... all your games touch me so much and I always look forward to what you put out.. .apologies for saying this here but I don't have other socials! No need to answer this ask + it isn't even a question. I don't know how to really express it but I wish the best for you in life no matter what you decide to do in the future
A: Ah hi, this really makes me so happy! I make artwork to express my feelings but ultimately hope I can reach others too. I don't get a Lot of feedback on my work (Meat Girl was a bit of an anomaly), so I really appreciate your reaching out to me. I hope I can continue to make things that connect with you!
I hope that no matter what happens I can continue to write and do art forever- even if I don't stick to game dev! Making stories is my passion and it is my main motivation for waking up in the morning. And honestly knowing people connect with the words and experiences I express makes me feel valued and whole as a writer you know?
My family used to worry about me because all I'd do is write and read. They'd try to make me do other things, and sometimes more artistically skilled kids would even make fun of me when they saw the stuff I made.. But here I still am haha!
