phoenixdeseer: ”First off, what hell kind of assumption is that? Are those the only two job categories where you come from? As I’ve said, I’m a violinist… And it’s the one thing I am very good at.”

Anonymous 1, 2, Sakuzelda & Bibliodraco: ”Difficult questions. I appreciate countless pieces and musicians for different reasons. Many of them have unique ways of playing or writing music that makes them uncomparable to me… Not to mention there’s simply too much to choose from to have an absolute favorite. Hmm… I suppose, for sentimental reasons, I enjoy playing Carmen Fantasy, Op. 25. When I was quite young, my father and I would play it as a duet… he was a pianist.”

Anonymous 3: ”My father taught me some of the basics… He never really excelled at the violin, but knew enough to play a little. He got me a private tutor and it took off from there. My father was fasinated by the Classical Music of Earth… his interest rubbed off on me and as far as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a violinist. As for your other question, no… I haven’t written anything for Yewon. I don’t often write my own music let alone write sappy romantic ballads. Feh.”

Kurumi-lover: ”I assume you’re only talking about orcestras composed of Earth-based instruments? Yes, I have played with quite a few of them… Funny, I’ve noticed Human musicians always seem impressed when other species master instruments originating from their planet. Tch… Anyway, if the orchestra is very GOOD then I certainly enjoy playing with them… But I swear there was a cellist in the last one that kept hitting wrong notes. That wasn’t YOU was it?
Oh, and I suppose I prefer to play solo…”

“And that’s it… By now I’m sure you’ve all listened to me with dull interest and have fallen asleep and could care less any of this. Well, screw all of you… I’m going to bed… just thinking about that cellist pissed me off all over again. I’M NOT HERE FOR YOUR GOD DAMNED ENTERTAINMENT… “

(Artist’s note— Yes he is. And apologies for the big ass post.)

2otaku: “Of course not… Do you get your arms stuck in doors? I simply move it out of the way! W-well, I suppose there has been a few incidents… but generally I am careful about that.”

benevolentrose: “I really have no idea what my parents were thinking when they named me. I’m told ‘Yarrow’ is the name of an Earth flower… Which seems ironic because flowers are supposed to be pretty and, well, LOOK at me. Mum did like to garden, though she had never been to Earth… maybe she got the idea from a book? Who knows…”

big-fat-monkey: “I’m a Kaumin. Something that you Humans like to label ‘alien’ when you don’t know any better.”

Anonymous: “Well, Bethenny, age 14… Not only did you misspell my last name, but you’re on a blog that is not suitable for your tender, young, mind… However, with the sarcasm reeking from ‘question’, I’m inclined to believe that you’re actually just some tosser poking fun at me. Aren’t you clever.”

So... as a member of an alien species you should be somewhere entirely outside our taxonomy here on Earth. In that case how'd you end up with roughly the same number of the same things in the same places as a mammal? I'd have thought the odd would be astronomically against you even being a eukaryote.

HELLO. THIS IS KATIE SPEAKING. The artist of this blog. How boring. Anyway, I wanted to answer this question. I promise not to do this often, but I figured something like it would come up sooner or later so… Ahem.

No offense to you, Nullcast, but I find questions like this a little obnoxious. Did you really want the character to reply with some sort of definitive retort? I realize perhaps you’re just asking it for fun, so I do hope I don’t sound entirely defensive and I can (believe it or not) TOTALLY get where you are coming from. It’s not a bad question!
Not that you are critizing, but Yarrow’s design has been criticized for not looking ‘alien’ enough … Though, what that is supposed to mean? As if someone knows what aliens are supposed to look like?

So… Why does this butthole of an alien look so human?! ANSWER! Yarrow’s design is more human so that I (as well as others) can better relate to him in drawings, stories, etc. Perhaps it’s a cop out to attach a few things to a human base and call it an alien, but maybe I’m just not creative enough. Though I guess you could ask Chewbacca, Spock, or the Na’vi the same thing. If everything in the world of ‘make believe’ made perfect sense then it would, for me, take a lot of fun out of things. That is just my two cents.

If you must get technical, watch ‘Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking’ if you haven’t already. It has some good points as to the possibilities of aliens being relatively similar to us! This has some good points too - http://www.space.com/6978-aliens.html
I don’t think entirely impossible for a planet to have formed in a way that is similar to Earth. Look at all those billions of stars… Maybe there is a planet that revolves around one of them that is not unlike us. Considering all the crazy things that people believe, I don’t think that idea sounds too outlandish.

Here is a really crappy doodle of Yarrow that will not make up for this wall of text. But here, have it. See? Even he’s not impressed with it.

Anonymous: ”Do I look like a bird to you? Ugh, dreadful creatures.”

thebluecanary: ”Yes. Kaumin tails are prehensile. It’s not as strong as my arms, but it’s definitely useful for some things…”

apilysai: “Hn… My previous post should answer how I feel about Yewon. As for your other question, I suppose finding Yewon with someone else would be the obvious answer… Her tracking dirt in or going through my computer would just piss me off… a lot.”

ask-boomandscanty: “What are you going on about. I don’t know what a ‘Scanty’ and a ‘Boom’ are. Of course I don’t like it here! There are all these people asking me ridiculous questions… It’s like a bunch of grubby hands reaching out of nowhere and wanting to touch me. Fuck… I’m going to go take a shower.”

chifilis: ”Anything that isn’t cold. Or wet. Or terribly hot. Or muggy. Or—
… Lets just say I prefer to stay indoors.”

generous-xailestia: “Ah-… are you… on drugs? Or just retarded?”

HEY YARROW. You open to questioning?? I mean... You don't seem that social, and yet you want us to ask questions? C: Were you forced to do this against your will?

You seem like a briefs kind of guy. But for the sake of asking strange inappropriate questions - Boxers or Briefs?

- At most, I’ll make TWO posts a day so I don’t clog up your dashboard. Clearly you have better things to look at… Like puppies and cupcakes and whatever other dribble you humans enjoy.

- Not every answer will be accompanied with an image, though at least once a week might be doable. Do you really want to look at my face more than that? Eh… Don’t answer that.

- If I don’t answer your question it probably means that I loathe you or that you asked me something stupid or repetitive. Don’t come crying to me about it. I have my trigger finger ready on that lovely block button.

- Do you get offended easily? Good. It will be all the more satisfying when I upset you and you run off blubbering to all your idiotic little friends.

- I was told that I should inform people that I swear. A lot. So if you can’t handle questionable language… Go away.

Other than that, I guess this is some sort of free-for-all. Tch… Wonderful. I’ll divulge in what information I feel like giving out.

Hi! I’m Katie, the creator of the character Yarrow. I’m making this blog in an effort to get myself to draw more, as I often do better when I’m prompted. It’s also just for fun because I really enjoy drawing this creepy character of mine. I’ll try my best to answer a majority of the questions, so please be patient as it will take me awhile. Hopefully this will be entertaining for both me and whomever should decide to watch this Tumblr. For some more info/pictures of Yarrow, have a look at my DeviantArt gallery http://katie-w.deviantart.com/
My regular Tumblr is http://patchwerk-kw.tumblr.com/ , but I really haven’t posted much art there. Perhaps that will change in the future! Who knows. Feel free to ask me questions there should you have any.
Thanks for stoppin’ by! :)
