First of all, I'm sorry for my long absence. I've been really busy with life in general and trying out some new things with my current art style. However, I plan on bringing back Inktober this year-and this time, I'm actually going to make full-sized drawings so that they appear in better quality. 
Many of my newer posts, when I upload them, will be in black and white, as I'm experimenting with ink this year. I will try to include a few color pieces, but not all my ink pieces are Inktober-related-some are not.  :)

General Questions:
1) What is your name?
My full name is Thaddeus Norville Throckmorton III. But don't you ever call me Thad if you value your face.
2) Does your name mean anything?
Yeah. It means "heart". I mean, that's nice and all, but couldn't I get something a bit more descriptive over here?
3) Are you male or female?
Yes, yes, I know my hair's all big and poofy, but I'm a guy, okay? How many girls do you know with a name like Thaddeus?
4) Are you gay/straight/bi ect?
Definitely straight. Don't let the pink shirt put you off-Mom made me wear it.
5) Are you single or taken?
Taken-by the beautiful Dee Dee Dinsmore, of course! 
6) How tall are you?
Um...I'm about six-I mean five foot...uh, five. The hair makes up for it, okay? 
7) How much do you weigh?
I'm 276 lbs (300 during the winter months) so don't you dare set me off, people! 
8) Age? (You don’t have to be exact)
I'm 15-ish, almost 16 in a few months. 
9) What race are you? (Human, Hybrid, Animal, ect?)
If we're gonna go all "Lord of the Rings" with this question, count me a human. If we're gonna go with my actual ethnic background, I'm technically a Caucasian but possibly half Jewish on my mother's side. 
10) What wealthy are you? (Low class, middle class, high class)
You dullards couldn't figure this out based on the logo on my watch? I'm definitely pretty high class, given that my parents own the biggest oral hygiene company in the United States. HygieDon Inc, people. Our ads are probably all over whatever rat-infested subway you just took to work this morning, and you've probably relied on our products to clean your little mouth.
11) Personality? What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Personality? I've got lots of it. I've got what Dad calls a "larger-than-life" personality, which basically makes me automatically interesting. Unfortunately though, I have more mood swings than a Newton's cradle desk toy, and a few "problems with social interaction" (my 5th period teacher's words, not mine). My strengths? Expressing myself, figuring out complex problems, and being determined when it comes to getting my way. Weaknesses? I don't exactly consider myself weak, and no, proneness to outbursts, asthma, and an eating problem that I've had since kindergarten do not count in my book. 
12) Do you have any powers or abilities?
Well, I uh...can temporarily stop myself from breathing every couple of minutes when I sleep, but that's just my sleep apnea.


Family/ Background Questions:
1) Do you have any family members? (Please state whether they are alive or deceased)
Yep. My parents are Irene and Thaddeus Throckmorton II (the original died about eight years ago-I don't remember my grandfather all that well) who are both very much alive, thank you very much. No siblings-my parents thought I was perfect, so why bother having another? (The fact that Mom had to have a kidney removed just to get me out has NOTHING to do with it.)
2) What do you think about your family?
They're pretty great, most of the time. I have a pretty close relationship with my mother, but sometimes I wish she'd let me make some of my own choices (and finally remember that I don't like pink clothes). My father is also kind to me, but unfortunately, he does all this international stuff so I only see him every few weeks. He does try to keep in touch through FaceTime, but I just wish his timing was better so he didn't try to call me when I was using the bathroom.
3) Do you have any friends?
Sure I do! There's Dee Dee (she's in my physics class), this really nice girl named Aggie, and a few guys who live in my neighborhood. 
4) What type of person do you look for in a mate?
She has to be sweet, kind, selfless, and faithful...and also not have any tattoos. No fake tan or cheapy clothes, either. 
5) Are you interested in anyone?
Dee Dee from my physics class, most definitely. She's so supportive and easy to talk to-besides, she has such a way with people unlike yours truly. 
6) Do you look up to anyone?
If hard-pressed to say, I guess my parents. But to be honest, nah. I'm my own role model a lot of the time. Other people are so unpredictable.
7) Will you ever marry and have kids?
Well, of course not now! I'm still in high school! But I might if the right person came along, and I lost a lot of this weight. I don't know about having kids though-little versions of me do sound really awesome, but at the same time, kinda creepy.
8) Do you have any pets?
Yeah-Mom got me this Persian cat named Saturn. He's supposed to be a "stress relief animal", but all he does is stress out my allergies whenever I pet him like Mom tells me to.
9) Tell us a little bit about your background? How was your childhood?
Background? I come from a wonderful background, being the heir to HygieDon. I mean, sure, we're known for stuff like dental floss, but hey, as long as people have teeth, they spend millions on dental floss per year. My childhood was pretty great-I mean, sure, I didn't go out much because of my "issues", but I think some of the stuff I got to do as a kid (I went to Germany and Egypt over the summer before fourth grade!) more than made up for it.
World Questions:
1) What planet are you from?
Earth, duh. 
2) What’s it like?
Where I'm at in New Jersey? Okay, if you're used to this kind of thing.
3) Are there any other races besides you?
Of course there are. I mean, come on, it's America. We're the "melting pot", as they say. 
4) How is the weather where you’re at?
Not too nice, to be honest.
5) What’s your favorite place?
My bedroom upstairs. It's the best if you want to hide from your family for a few hours a day. Do mind the cat hair, though-I still haven't figured out how to keep that blasted feline off my bed.
6) Tell me about the worst place?
That stupid lake house my family got all those years ago. The place is tinier than my regular house, really close to some creepy woods, and it smells funny. Besides, Dad, why did you put a bunch of severed animal heads on the living room wall? Are you trying to gross me out or something? You didn't even kill half those animals. Most of those heads were bought online!

Fun questions:
1) What do you like?
Let's see...I like video games, ice cream, being a little mischievous from time to time, watching TV until I fall asleep, long baths, reading graphic novels, and getting my way, of course.
2) What don’t you like?
It's quite a laundry list. I don't like my breathing problems, or being disappointed, or bad weather, or my mom picking out my clothes for me, or losing my glasses, or getting frustrated, or being 90% covered in freckles (which my mom automatically thinks means I can wear polka dots).
3) Do you have any hobbies or activities that you like?
I, uh, spend a lot of time on the internet. I also play the tuba, or at least used to for a while until the neighbors got all upset when I practiced outside. I also like debating other people-I'm right most of the time.
4) Have you ever hurt anyone in any way?
Uh, yeah...sometimes, when other people set me off, I occasionally lose it. Nothing serious, but yes, I have twisted a few ears and busted a couple teeth throughout my life, from time to time.
5) Have you ever killed anyone?
Just my pet sugar glider from when I was little. I didn't look where I was sitting, okay?
6) Name your worst habits?
Sometimes, I can be a real pain in the keister. I've got a bit of an ego, and I really should start admitting my mistakes more often.
7) Do you go to school?
Yeah. I'm currently a sophomore in high school.
8) Favorite food?
Are you making me pick? Fine, that kind of pizza where they put all the garlic on it. Yes, yes, I know Dee Dee sometimes doesn't want to kiss me after we go out for pizza, but it just tastes too darn good!
9) Favorite Beverage?
Fizzy water. Especially the dragonfruit flavored-stuff. We have lots of it at our house (don't ask for coconut water if you come over, I "accidentally" dumped it down the sink).
10) Favorite type of dessert?
Again, making me pick? If I had to, anything in pastry form. Pastries are proof God loves us and wants us to thrive.
11) What type of clothes do you normally wear?
You mean, what type of clothes does Mom make me wear? Fine then, pastel stuff. My go-to outfit is usually a button-down shirt and knee-length shorts, usually in colors I'd never pick for myself.
12) Any Fetishes?
I don't know yet.
13) Seme or Uke?
Again, not something I wanna answer.
14) What are your fears?
I would have to say dying before achieving what you set out to do...I really feel nervous discussing this...
15) Do you have any fans?
If you floss your teeth with HygieDon brand dental floss, I consider you one, so I've got 'em all over the world!

As you may have noticed, I'm back from my long absence. There have been a few things I've been thinking about over the past few months, the first being that I wish that I joined DA later when I was more mature and didn't think I knew everything. Over the years, I do admit to have acting somewhat juvenile and self-righteous, and I've said a few things I'm not proud of. This is why I'm deleting all of my stamps, as this is now just an account to promote my art, not my 13-year-old self's opinions, and I intend to keep it that way as long as I'm on here. 
Also, from now on, this will be less of a fanart account and more focused on original work. Don't get me wrong, I still like drawing fanart, but now that I truly feel I've developed my own style, I would rather express that than someone else's on this site. This will no longer be an echo chamber for me to hear my opinions over and over and bash the trends I hate-I just want to show the things I love now.
Also, to all of you who have continued to watch my account, I apologize for such a long hiatus. Lately, I haven't really had the time for DA, and it's been difficult for me to get back into it over the past few weeks. I want to stay in touch with my DeviantArt family, but it's going to be harder for me since there's so much I have to do for school now. And finally, to those who miss my humanizations-I will still make some from time to time, but I do want to take some of my old ones (that I named) and give them a new life as original characters. Many of the designs I came up with have stuck with me over the years, and I sort of want to give these characters a new home in my original stories-just with a slightly tweaked appearance and a developed personality. :)
