Answering a bunch of Anons, don’t mind me
I’ve been putting off answering Anons for a while because I feel kind of guilty filling people’s dashes with ask-answering, so some of these are kind of old.
But, uh, if I hadn’t answered someone’s ask, then it’s probably here unless Tumblr ate it.
Anonymous asked you:I’m leaving for a camp tomorrow, and I have separation anxiety, which makes things like this really hard for me. Four weeks is really small, but it feels impossible to accomplish by my standards. I’m starting to get scared and I don’t know if I can do it. Can you please give me some advice? It would mean a lot to me. <3
I feel really bad that I’ve left this one for so long- I got it when I was really busy with a lot of things and by then the ‘Tomorrow’ had already happened, but I hope the Anon can read this eventually, even if it didn’t help in this particular situation.
The thing about anxiety of any sort and why it really sucks is while it’s based around imagined fear, it’s fear that (as stretched as it is) does have some basis in reality. But you really need to remember that a great deal of anxiety is just that- It’s imagined, and either impossible or nearly so. The best way to keep a handle on anxiety is to try and look at what you’re actually getting anxious over and look at it, well, logically. Is the fear because you’re scared you won’t come back or that people won’t miss you, or as small as thinking you won’t have fun? Now, really, how likely are those things to actually happen?
It’s -very- scary to go away someplace for the first time, especially for as long as a month. I went to the UK for a month by myself after high school and the second day freaked me out so bad that I spent about 5 hours in a train station crying and waiting for my parents to wake up so I could call and figure out what to do (I had missed a train that I needed to catch). But looking back on it, I feel really silly being so scared, because it was a great experience and honestly, wasn’t as big of an issue as I thought it was. After that first big freak out, I spent the rest of the month with no issue and had a great time.
So, again, I’m sorry this is so late Anon, but I hope you didn’t do too badly. I really hope you made it to camp and had a great time. Everything seems scary if you haven’t done it, but once you’ve done it, it can seem almost trivial that it was scary.
Anonymous asked you:Could you maybe reblog the video of your sick beats for NYC Promstuck? I’ve been looking forever, and simply can’t find it to scream at how adorable you are~
Pfffft-
Here you go, Anon. It was kind of hidden away because I’m still kind of embarrassed about it.
Anonymous asked you:Hi! Um. You’re kind of actually perfect and you’re my headcanon Tavros and you’re perfect and how do you even exist and oh by the way did I mention you’re perfect? Um, anyway, do you have any tips about cosplaying and, I don’t know, staying in character, I guess? I will be cosplaying Tavros at a con soon and I don’t really know what to expect… Thanks! }:D
Ahhhh- Thanks so much for saying that, Anon! Uh, as for your question…
I mean, I’m honestly pretty bad at staying in character, and I think most cosplayers don’t do it as a constant thing if they do it at all. Generally what happens is I’ll snap into character if someone wants a picture or… Otherwise approaches me in a way that seems like I should be in character, I guess? And then just kind of go back to being myself when it’s done.
But as for the actual being in character, more then anything I’d just read pesterlogs. This website has all the logs organized better then the MSPA wiki. Doing readings of logs can be a lot of fun with friends and is also a pretty great way of getting down characterizations (especially since the quirks are kind of hard to translate into speaking). I guess in the end it depends on your interpretation of the character! In panels I try to play Tavros as close to the logs as I can, which is pretty different then a lot of Fanon interpretations, but it’s really up to you how you see the character how you chose to show that.
Wow this is getting long- In the end, remember you don’t really have to be in character. In my opinion, being in character should be a fun thing, not feel like an obligation. Good luck with it, regardless! }:)
Anonymous asked you:I’m sorry.. but would you mind showing me pictures of you because I would really like my hair like yours. If you don’t want to, I’ll understand.
There’s nothing all that special about my hair?????
Like it’s literally just a mohawk?? I cut the sides at 3/8ths and just chop up the long part whenever it seems like it’s getting too long. I blowdry it when I get out of the shower but that’s pretty much all I do to it except maybe put in some mousse or gel occasionally.
Anonymous asked you:You are adorable. Just sayin’. :I
Anonymous asked you:You are such a cutie ;u;;;
Anonymous asked you:Can I just say that you are literally the most adorable thing ever? I love your Tavros cosplays so much. ;u;
Anonymous asked you:you seem like a really cool person. just thought you should know.
Ahhhh, thank you all so much! ;///; ♥
Anonymous asked you:My friend and I are at otakon and my friend follows you, but I didn’t know who you were. We saw you and she started freaking out and we took your picture. We both agree that you’re totally adorbs and I hope we see you again tomorrow, and hopefully my friend can get up the courage to talk with you <3
Aw man, I hope I ended up talking to you guys! Again, I’m sorry this is such a late reply, but if you see me at another convention, feel free to come say hi!
Anonymous asked you:Why are you so adorable? Also, do you ever go on the Homestuck tag on Omegle?
Ahh- Thank you! Uh- I’ve only ever been on the Omegle tag a few times with friends, but that hasn’t been in months. I’m honestly pretty webcam-shy, so I feel like I’d get freaked out and quit after a few minutes, hah. My webcam is pretty crappy anyways.
Anonymous asked you:I didn’t know you had a boyfriend! Does he have a tumblr?
This sugoi motherfucker is my boyfriendo.
so fucking sugoi
Anonymous asked you:Congratulations! I’m so sorry if this congrats is rather late! But I wish you both the best and… I don’t really know what to say in all these things. I’m just sorry that people are mean and disrespectful at times. I wish you the best and happiness. Adam, you deserve this.
Anonymous asked you:Oh oops, it got cut off. I meant you deserve this happiness. You deserve to be happy. Because it’s not a right. It’s a must. Stay happy, love. All the best wishes goes to you!
Aw, thanks a lot Anon. It means a lot that you’d say something like that. ♥ I don’t think many people would go out of their way to say such nice things.
Anonymous asked you:I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT WOW YOU ARE A CUTIE AND ALSO THE GREATEST TAVROS HEADCANONONONONONON
UM THANK YOU ANON
