Hello! I am answering questions about characters here, not answering drawing requests!
If you want me to answer in character, put [IC] in brackets in your question!
#CityOfMist
Which of your OCs is the best at twerking?
LDHFSLFKGJH lord i do not have a lot of twerkers do it. I suppose Cadenza?
Does Camila prefer clitoral or vaginal stimulation
It depends! Physically, clitoral stimulation is easily better,but it's easy for her to distract herself out of a good orgasm when she worries about looking pretty or if she's taking too long to cum. If she's comfortable around you or if you use toys, that's how you can really rock her world.
However, sometimes with vaginal stimulation, she enjoys it more overall because she worries less about not being pleasing to her partner. She might still get an orgasm if her partner hits all the right spots by brute force or by accident. Plus she gets a lot of mental pleasure from being penetrated.
What would you say is Camila's biggest flaw that she's self aware about, as opposed to things she doesn't realize about herself?
The worst flaw Camila is most aware of is her paranoia and thirst for answers. It stares her in the face when she looks at the wall of her room that is almost entirely taken up by a Pepe Silvia esque clue board. She has also landed in some deep shit in the name of satiating her curiosity. This weakness is routinely used against her by enemies and works almost every time.
Her truest flaws, and the ones she doesn't really acknowledge, are her tendency to overwork herself, and her almost deification of pain.
She's used to being told to sit the hell down and let someone else take care of it, but she gets Itchy when she's not doing work. She will always get shit done, so why would she stop working and leave it up to someone else who she isn't sure will be able to take care of it like she can?
Her relationship with pain is also all kinds of fucked up in ways that she completely refuses to acknowledge. First, she trades pain for love in relationships--seeing her endurance of pain that someone might want to give her as an expression of love. This ties into her relationship with pain as it pertains to ballet, because the more she hurt for her art, the more sure in her devotion she felt. To her, enduring pain is love, it is devotion, and it is a show of both mental and physical strength. Which is why the chronic pain she sustains as a result of Henry/Khalid's sabotage makes her hold onto that memory of the love she felt for him forever. When she has a bad leg day, she always thinks of the good times with him.
What's the moral line past which Camila loses empathy for a fellow woman?
Camila hates an enabler. She understands that sometimes you have to put your own air mask on first, but assisting and allowing someone to abuse another person on your watch is something she cannot abide. She was essentially assaulted with torrents of heartwrenching empathy when she realized that the person who hurt her and people like him will go on to continue to ruin or even end more innocent lives, so she can't understand how someone could feel something similar and not try to fight back against it.
Does hex shave his balls
No. Like the rest of him, they're so hairy.
What are some of your absolute favorites OC ship dynamics that you write or that you write with friends? 👀
HEHEHEEEE ok ok. So I ....... ALL of my dynamics I have with ANY pairing are made with many boyfriend and its so so fun. Right now Hex and Camila are my favorite. Theyre so sickening and will yap about them until I die if asked. I also enjoy Rafail and Clementine both in modern Au and in fantasy, but they're much less sweet in comparison. Camila x Henry (More commonly known as Khalid) is also a problematic fave.
BUT with my FRIENDS however...I really like the way that Camila and Ira's Grayson have developed. Theyre my everythingggggg And I, like everyone else, smacking her into Alec and Viola. Really I like putting her with anyone horrible to see how the trainwreck goes. I really do whore this girl out Huh. I need to make more ocs to share with friends LOL.
To Camila, From Matias:
"Tell me, Mamasita... What is the quickest way to your heart?"
"Rather forward, aren't we? Many men do not like this answer but the quickest way to my heart is money, Caro. However, if you're looking for an answer within the realm of possibility for you, I suppose then it is the heart of an artist. Even if you cannot keep up with me in discussions of opera and ballet, I want to see what ignites an artist's passion in someone's heart. It could be anything. I've fallen for museum curators, academics, painters whose work I could hardly understand, and for a violin player who insisted his instrument be called a fiddle. It doesn't matter what it is, I just want to see your eyes light up when you explain your art to me."
What is one of your fondest memories of Camila (Be it a particular drawing, project, AU, etc?) ^ ^
My fondest memories of her are every time I get to play a session of her game with my boyfriend! It's like a date and a new episode of my favorite show coming out all in one!
Of your OCs, who are your favorites to draw? And do you have any that you kinda have a hard time coming up with scenarios for?
That title right now goes to Camila, Hex, and Clementine. Hex and Camila are my favorite oc pair I think like....Ever. and the ideas never stop coming.
Clementine also just has such a precious design. I like harming her so much, she gives me cuteness aggression.
in terms of difficulty...hmmm. For lack of scenarios-- I have trouble with characters that I'm not currently hyper fixated on. But in terms of sheer difficulty, that award has to go to Rafail and Khalid.
Ofc Khalid has many scenario ideas but I want to take great great care to make sure I get him right. I always end up taking way more time on Khalid drawings. Rafail is so hard to draw. Fucker is bald and has maze tattoos, he SUCKS to draw, especially with his clothes off.
When did you come up with Camila, and what are some of your favorite things about her (Personality, Design-wise, lore-wise, etc)!
I came up with Camila about a year ago! My partner and I wanted to do a 1on1 city of mist game, and I had recently rewatched the Giselle and I the idea for her hit me like a truck. I wanted to deconstruct the classic noir "femme fatale" trope by forcing a promiscuous, paranoid, and self hating woman to essentially share a body with the sweet, virginal, loving Giselle. I also recently underwent a disabling incident and I needed to inflict that on a fake lady LOL.
My favorite thing about her is I think the contrast between her inner her and the tropes she embodies. Of course, there's the obvious giselle is sweet and loving and Camila is...uh Not at all. But also, I like how she departs from the idea of the femme fatale. Yes, shes manipulative, but it's a defense mechanism. Yes she dates men for their money, but that's because she knows they date her for her body (and she's SICK of it). Femme fatales also generally don't solve their own mysteries.
Also she's a conspiracy theorist and I think that's hilarious.
