Okay, I know I technically answered this already (here), but I didn’t really go into detail. There is a lot of lovely Kustard fanart out there (and fics too!) but… it is a very popular ship, and I sort of never understood the hype? ~~Plus, I’m a rebellious asshole who loves to deviate from the norm and act edgy.~~ I personally can’t see them getting along with each other. They’d more be pals who made fun of each other (if that, I honestly think they’d hate each other lol). If I really tried to delve into them as a couple, I think I’d end up portraying them badly. They just don’t work in my mind.

9. “What ship represents the kind of relationship you’d love to have?”

Ah, heh. Well, seeing as I’m aromantic, I guess I’d have to say one of the more belligerently sexual ships? Spicyhoney definitely comes to mind (I guess that may be why I like them so much), but Honeyvenom also sort of fits the bill. I can’t imagine Razz and Stretch ever being in a romantic relationship, so the idea of them sort of appeals to me.

Also… SpicyMaple. If you’ve ever read Catch These Hands by @ollie-oxen-free (sorry Ollie, you’re getting a shout out here whether you like it or not), that is just a great relationship to me. Two bros, beating each other up in the middle of nowhere? I strive for that.

16. “Is there a ship that made you realise something about yourself?”

Geez, Painty, hitting me with the personal questions tonight, are we? Hm. Well… I can’t place blame any one ship in particular, but writing in general has definitely helped me learn a bit more about myself. And, since 99% of what I write is Spicyhoney, I guess I can blame that ship for a lot of my self-discovery. (I also blame a lot of @itsladykit‘s writing. I love the way she does character interactions and platonic relationships.)

~~I do “shout outs” to divert attention away from myself when the personal questions come up.~~

Fuck you, Painty. From here.

How about 4?

4. “Name a popular ship you don’t get the appeal of.”

Uh… okay, I’m not trying to step on any toes here, but I never really got the appeal of Fellcest? I mean, I’m not a massive fan of any brotherly fontcest, but Fellcest in particular seems to draw a lot of hype, and I sort of never really got it? Don’t get me wrong, I really like their relationship. I love seeing their dynamic explored, because it’s interesting to see what lines they’d cross for each other and how they help each other deal with trauma, but as a romantic relationship (or even just a sexual relationship)… nah. It’s really not for me.

I actually sound like a bit of a hypocrite. If you went through my bookmarks on AO3, you’d actually see that I read a fair amount of fontcest. But honestly, that’s mostly just owing to the authors’ ability to write it so well. It’s just not something I’d ever write myself.

Edit: You know what? Scrap all that. It’s Kustard.

Thank you for sending this in! From here.

11,13, & 21?

11. “What is a character you can only imagine in one particular ship?”

Huh. To tell you the truth, I can’t really think of any. I ship a lot of stuff, especially when it comes to the skeletons. While I certainly have favourites, I’m a sucker for those “okay, but what if” scenarios. It’s always fun to throw a spanner in the works of your favourite ship (or rather, another ship).

13. “Name a ship that deserved more content.”

I can think of so many fontcest and papcest ships that I wish got more attention, but since those types of ships are pretty popular already, I’m going to say Papgore. I mentioned this earlier, but in the Fell and Swap AUs, I just think they have so much potential. (That potential being for angst in Fell, of course).

21. “Favourite thing you’ve ever created for a ship”

Ah, welp. I mean… 95% of my content is Spicyhoney, and I’m fairly happy with most of what I’ve produced. But… as a break from the norm, I’m going to say that I was actually pretty pleased with this little thing I wrote last year for Edgeberry (upon your request, Kit!). It was kind of short and sweet, but I was happy with the way I depicted their dynamic.
