I'm thinking of writing a little blurp with some of the Sonas if you're interested in seeing yours in it either PM me, or post here. I'll have it done in a few days.

OK, you don't have to if you don't want to, but I had to make the reference... ;)
Thanks!

Actually I was hoping a skald would say yes. Quick question would you have read everyone's personnel files?

Ooh!  Me!  Me!  I'm a skald!  I read everyone's personnel files (even the ones in languages I don't speak). 
IRL I'll be away from the computer for a couple of hours -- does that matter?

Actually it does. I've just learned to knitt, and an idea popped into my head cause of it. (Or did you mean being away from the computer? That doesn't matter.)

Have a go, I placed my character in Finland although IRL I reside in New Zealand. (The possibility of New Zealand maintaining a population in Y90 is another topic in another thread.)

Thank you both for the encouragement. I'll probably write something up soon, I can't guarantee any art since I'm more comfortable with writing. I'm kinda debating between putting my SSSSona in the situation that seems to fit the closest to how I grew up (which would probably put me in one of the smaller villages in one of the more technological countries), or what seems to fit my personality now and/or what I'd like the most (Finland, apparently).

You don't say.

My drawings feel so messy and cluttered compared to this. D:

@ KauniitaUnia

Has hinted at before, here's my take on your OC. I didn't go for your dream dress, opting instead for the generic Finnish night scout attire and your mosin-nagant.



Meanwhile, I still weep at my inability to draw cats as I try to draw Oliga's OC.

I'm back at my computer.  What's up?

I was wondering what the crew's reaction would be to learning that my 'Sona knits/crochets/etc especially since he's well male and such. (Kinda a 'so that's what he does in his spare time' thing. With surprise gifts, cause who doesn't need a super warm scarf?)

My guess would be very little reaction, given that
1) the Known World seems to be very gender-egalitarian [regardless of all the fan speculation of how gender roles would play out in case of an *actual* apocalypse] and
2) in a world where manufacturing is much more difficult and expensive, any kind of handicraft/hobby that produces useful things would probably be respected.  The crew would probably be lining up, begging you to knit them warm scarves and hats! 

This is somewhat different from IRL America, where there's still (regrettably) a certain amount of stereotyping about knitting and crocheting.  The hipster knitting revival of the last 20 years at least went some ways towards removing the "little old lady" stigma.  And the younger generation seems to be at least a bit less judgmental about "boy things" and "girl things" than when I was your age... which is a relief. 

That answer your question?   :)
