Wowowow! Let's not waste anytime and get right to it then! (because I put a lot of words in the answers XD)
@Shadow_dancing
Q: What are your pronouns?
A: She/Her
@ArthurMarigold
Q: How old are you?
A: 15 today! Aw yeah, I've been existing for 15 years now... wow.
@Amaura1406
Q: How do you organize your thoughts?
A: Google docs! Before I started the book, I wrote out a basic plot summary that I could go back to look at in order to keep myself on track. I do change some things along the way if I get good ideas but the base stays the same.
Q: How do you deal with stress from writing and animating?
A: Well... the thing is, most of the time, writing and animating IS my stress reliever. Also, the support from you all helps motivate me and makes these normally arduous tasks more enjoyable. But if I ever do get stressed, I usually get out on my bike or something or beat up stuff in Genshin Impact. XD
@HelloThereNowBye (real curious, aren't ya? XD)
Q: Best editing/rewriting advice?
A: Read it to yourself, out loud if you have to. Then get a close friend/anyone you can trust to read it. I usually take the entire week to write the chapter. I don't like to rush things on the very last day because rushing can lead to mistakes. So I either start early and edit and revisit throughout the week or I update late. (or not at all XD)
Q: Motivation?
A: MUSIC! SONGS AND WHATNOT ARE MY SAVIORS IN DIRE SITUATIONS!!! That's why I like to put music into my chapters because I usually write the chapter while I'm listening to it. Another thing I do is play out the chapter like a movie in my head. It's weird but fun. It is also a part of the reason why I don't really write any super obvious ship moments because I just break down and die.
As for my art? Uh... I guess I reread my chapter and draw whatever I frickin' feel like. I honestly don't know.
Q: What art program? (Procreate probably)
A: DING DING DING!!! WE HAVE A WINNER XD
(also some ibis paint x for their freakin amazing filters)
Q: Advice for writing?
A: Uh... ummm...
Don't rush, don't force yourself to write when you just can't, don't be afraid to pick up other books to see other's style of writing, read books of all kinds... and make sure you enjoy what you are writing or else it will make your life a 1000000 times harder.
For technical points: the usual, grammar, spelling, fact checking, whatnot. (don't worry about this too much though, it's a freakin' wattpad for crying out loud)
OH! THESAURUS WILL BECOME YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND!
Q: HOW ARE YOU SO AMAZING?
A: I-
Aw. You flatter me (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)
Q: Other fandoms?
A: I'm slowly taking in the FNF fandom (Midfight-Masses. I know. Soooooooo original)
Genshin Impact fandom. Beautiful game but that's all I really do in there.
A friend of mine is trying to drag me into NCTzen (which is where the map call is coming from)
But most of my time and energy is still strongly pinned on Countryhumans
Past Fandoms:
I used to be in the Ninjago fandom (even made a fun comic with the friend mentioned above)
Sonic was a phase (thank god I didn't know what an OC was back then)
Beyond that, I was pretty inactive back then.
Q: What/who got you into this fandom
A: I used to watch animation meme compilations. A countryhumans meme caught my attention.
My curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to know the context behind this. Holy fuck, I spiraled into this quickly. (seriously. I didn't know much history other than basic Canadian history until I got into this)
Afterwards, the usual. Popular MAPs, Torriku Sotaru ect.
Q: Embarrassed or don't care.
A: I'd go batshit if people I knew came here (other than the ones who already know)
@Cashiki
Q: Do you consider yourself a good writer?
A: Honestly... no. I suck. But I'm doing my best I guess
Q: I started writing the book or in general?
I started putting together this story just after my first animation meme but I kinda messed around and doubted myself until someone pushed me into action.
But I do think my first book was when I was in Grade 3. It was during summer camp where me and one of my family friends made our first comic about this fire angel girl with a rainbow-eating unicorn.
Q: What languages do you speak?
A: English (duh) and Mandarin. I don't think my tiny french vocabulary counts. I do know how to rudely tell people to die in Korean though! (I think)
Q: Would you like to learn a language? If yes, which one?
A: DARN RIGHT I WOULD! If I could choose, I would like to learn Russian. In my opinion, it sounds so scary yet elegant at the same time. Just me or is that the case?
Q: Drawing vs Animating vs Writing.
A: Drawing. It's the first thing I picked up and I sincerely find it the most natural to me.
Q: Other Ships?
A: ... UK and France kinda fits for me... Canada and Ukraine... I view it as very wholesome. I kinda just go with the flow. The mainstream ones.
Do note that when I say "ships" I like to view them more as "friendships".
@thenovaswag (that was some good virtual cake)
Q: What is your schedule for animation, art and writing?
A: Every Friday= new chapter (hopefully)
Other than that, I just upload whenever I finish something I am satisfied with. Right now, I am working on 2 big animation projects so I might be more inactive...
And then there's school.
Q: Do you find what you do more exhausting or energizing?
A: A mix of both. It depends on my mood, mindset and how desperately I want to do what I'm doing. Eg. writing book reviews drain my will to live and writing fanfics make my brain feel like it's high on helium. (in a good way)
@Teal_Hydra
Q: What inspired you to make this AU?
A: I... don't remember what exactly but I know the Awakening thing was from a different story I had planned out. It was about this dude with 10 stages of Power, each one greater than the next. But every stage also came with even graver consequences, the 10th stage meaning certain death. It's still in the back of my files. Maybe I can share a bit more in the future if you're interested.
Q: Favorite countryhuman?
A: That's a tough one. I don't like picking favorites because they all are pretty interesting if you dig deep enough. But I'll say America is my favorite to write dialogue for. He's rowdy and all over the place but there are times where he takes control and gets downright serious. Then there is his scary side but we'll get to that later.
@Chickens21
Q: Milk or cereal first?
A: PLOT TWIST: I DON'T EAT CEREAL ANYMORE! :0 But I think I did cereal before milk. What controversy. In the end, it all goes in the fleshy bag of destroy juice.
@BobaDragon
Q: Favorite songs?
A: Currently have a thing for any Nico Collins songs. HOUDINI by AViVA, and Bottom Of the Deep Blue Sea by MISSIO. Just some off the top of my head. Oh, and how could I forget the USSR/Russian anthem XD (joking not joking)
@Pastellgie
(Lil, Ref sketch I made)
Q: More about NASA's Awakening?
A: Oooooh. I have yet to describe her Awakening in depth yet. I was going to go more in depth with her Awakening for a future chapter butttt... I'll give you some food for thought.
NASA's Awakening is Space Warping. It allows her to travel and explore beyond the planet freely. There is a limit to how far she can go but she is working to expand her boundaries everyday.
(more on this later)
@OpalWinglet
Thank you! <3 Have a wonderful week as well! You too, @elyse_cloud
@StarLife666
Q: How can you make such good CH drawings or videos?
A: I- I'm honored that you enjoy my stuff! I have more to improve on though.
Q: Have you ever try making USSR and Nazi's drawing?
A1: hehehe... Does this count?
A2: (coughs)... I... do have others but... I'll leave that bloody mess out.
Long story short: Yes. I have. But I choose to keep them to myself because of all the controversy.
Not offended! Seriously, I'm glad people have questions for me!
@Febri_worlwrites
Q: Will there be more reference art?
A: (stares at folders of ref art I want to post but the story has not gotten there yet) ah. Absolutely.
Speaking of art... I'm just gonna slap some random things here and get back to writing the next chapter. Enjoy!
Earthbound (Silence Vilvet! I will not give them techno outfits in Autumn time Siberia!)
Money Lore Sketch: y'all commenting how they rich af. They're countries.

And we'll end it off with Burn Boi (Ref)
The day has come to an end. Welp, another 365 days to go.
