things it’s cool to ask a creator if they’re taking q&a’s:

• how they came up with their thing
• what it’s like working on said thing
• are you surprised by the popularity of the thing
• ‘[thing] is really important to me, thanks for bringing it to life!’
• advice on how you can go about creating your own thing

things it’s Extremely Fucking Not Cool to ask:

• anything about shipping (unless it’s a canon pairing or they’ve openly expressed an interest in it)
• especially not real-person shipping does this shit even need to be said
• kin stuff
• creepy personal questions
• ‘[thing] is the only thing keeping me alive please help me deal with my extreme mental health issues bc i don’t wanna seek actual support from a friend or qualified professional’
