what is your favorite song black dresses has made? and what ones were your favorite to make? (also i love the album thank you!!<3)

Hazel

Do you have anything to say about phytoplankton, coral reefs, or aquatic ecology more generally? Thank you for all the work you do.

Elspeth

hey hope you're well! maybe a weird question but i was wondering if you could elaborate on what the title LAUGHINGFISH means to you?

EarthurX

How have you been feeling? What's been going on in your life lately?

Lullaby

if you had the power to change anything about society or the world just by wishing it, what would you change?

olive buchholz

favorite black dresses album artwork?

EmCaveeeee

Do you have any tips for artists who are just getting into music and are afraid of releasing things whether it be due to personal feelings about their work or fear of how hard someone might go on criticism? Also whatever happened to theLittleFears?

glaethae

Your art has resonated with a lot of trans girls over the years (I wasn't brave enough to transition until I listened to your music), what's one thing that you wish you could tell every transfem out there?

high on cat food

whats the reason behind having had so many different band names/alias names? is it like an artistic choice or were u jst continually getting bored or tired of them and needed change over the years? under which one of them do u think u released ur favourite pieces of music?

g

i've always rly appreciated the themes in ur collab records with katie dey,, if u were to do any further collabs would you continue to expand on y'alls past 2 albums?

CattleChoir

How did you come up with the names of your bands? Do they have specific meaning/have a purpose? or just on a whim?

EarthurX

What are the lyrics to the faster part of Thunderbabes? That song gets stuck in my head but I have to endure my own brainmumble for those bits. What can we expect from the Deviverse in future?

oatmeal.oatmeal

what instruments and programs were used in the making of the album, and do you think the mc707 is worth investing in?

C Xeon

Could we hope for any more physical re/releases. Ik its complicated stuff but im tired of seeing ppl selling them for hundreds of dollars, I wanna support yall every way i can. Thank you ♡♡♡♡♡

Likely

Did the album get released earlier than planned? the rollout seemed to happen very suddenly kinda

Likely

also did the vibes get weird in toronto during the drake and kendrick stuff ? ?

Leafyyay

truthfully, what was your experience working with black dresses like? fanbase, outsiders, process, etc? how was it compared to your previous experiences?

knifreak (jan)

In your lyrics you've spoken about wanting to be understood, about not wanting to be understood. It seemed to very distinctly mark passage through time. The initial call out into the dark, and then the returning voice. Where are you now in this. (i'm submitting this for my best friend who is no longer online which, good for her, but we're both huge fans of your work. thank you for doing what you do)

knifreak (jan)

also do you have plans to work with rook in the future, just not as black dresses? (like It's A Beautiful World)

CattleChoir

Will there be stems/sample packs released for other black dresses albums in the future?

rebane2001

all the questions i had have already been asked by others, but your music has helped me through a lot in my life and i just wanted to say i'm really grateful for that, thank you so much

CattleChoir

green rosevevoswag

Thanks for your beautiful music and songs. From all yr older midi focused songs do you have any favourite sound fonts or sources, or just ones that serviced u well? And what's ur favourite insect or favourite biological process that little bugs have.

oatmeal.oatmeal

also will you ever dabble with visual novels again? i thought witches hat was a very nice and interesting read!

bran

what do you regret the most?

Anni

Other than lyrics, do you ever do any creative writing? Sometimes your words are as vibrant and expressive as the music, which is ofc wonderful. Also, who is the most interesting artist in any medium whose work you've discovered recently? Thank you so much for the music and inspiration. You've truly made my life better from afar. Hope you're giving yourself the care you deserve.

breakmyheart555

what drove you to make music? is there anything in particular? and what was it like to start?

CattleChoir

I lied, do you still have the elevated mason jar? Is it *still* the funniest cup you own?

high on cat food

Hud Zeeen

Hey devi, hope you are well! Before i ask my question(s) i just wanna say that you are without a doubt my favorite artist and your music have had such an impact ever since i found you in 2018. Anyways, i was wondering whatever happened to the "Lost in the Parking Lot" album, only track 5 seems to remain nowadays? Also, will you ever release instrumental/acapella versions of your old albums (Cats Millionaire, girls rituals, etc.) like you did with Mom 1 & 2?

Hoko Doko

Fran O'Farrell

OK ok ok uhh,, -favorite breakfast/usual breakfast? -how'd yall make that little meow meow loop at the start of if you find me gone? can not get it out of my head lol -do you think you'll put the singles you've been releasing together as an album or nah? -furthermore, do you feel like your opinion of albums as a form has changed since you started releasing music? -what have you been watching lately? -thoughts on the tao te ching? -what album would you recommend as a first seiko oomori? -fave bulldog eyes? whether that's album or song or sound or w/e -heck, fave katie dey?,,,,, thx for doing this (and for everything) I hope it's fun to put together and not too grueling ! <3

EarthurX

At first blush, am enjoying/being made uneasy by, the new album, but haven't had time to read along to the lyrics yet. Why is this the last album, as announced? Would you talk about the composition process for Black Dresses? Do you and rook work together in a shared space, tossing off ideas back and forth in a cooperative manner, or is it more like a parallel play situation, or even serial composition, with each of you passing bits back and forth to each other while working in solitude? What do you think of some of the early synth pioneers, like Laurie Anderson, Nervous Gender, Gary Numan, Devo and Klaus Nomi? Who do you consider your influences from that era? Who were your top ten bands when you were in your late teens, early twenties? What is your favorite midi interface device and software? I hope you're feeling contented and safe.

green rosevevoswag

do you know what that sound is at the end of wounded animal?? i recognise it.. like a screaming sound, after the sonic spindash

CattleChoir

Would you ever post the song Anal Slime California publicly again? Anal Slime California is one of my most fav lost tracks I remembered the full song being on your soudncloud at some point years ago <\3 Or any instrumental demos again like for HARMLESS? which I remember also being posted to your SoundCloud at some point years ago too. Do you have plans on creating more comics? Favorite McDonald’s menu item?

woops

i'm excited for the qna and i'm glad i caught it in time (well, i hope i still did catch it in time). your music means everything to me devi. i'm a massive fan and your work has helped me a lot through MANY YEARS of being confused and you are how i found out what "transgender" even was in the first place and what led me to figuring out i could transition and come out to my family when i was 16 years old. more than any of these questions i just want you to know i love you and your music so much and i hope you are doing well these days❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ what is the song you are proudest of? the album you are proudest of? what are some of your favorite albums of all time? how did you figure out you were transgender? why did you stop releasing music under "mom"? and what is the meaning behind the artist name "mom" for you? i looked it up and "dei genetrix" apparently is something referring to mary (from christianity) i know this from your twitter and soundcloud... why do you use this name to refer to yourself? how did you come up with the name Devi? its not something i've ever heard before and is ridiculously beautiful, i'm just curious last but not least, if you had to marry an anime character waifu/husbando, who would you pick and why? ok ok thats all my questions. if you aren't able to answer them all thats alright. thank you so much devi !!!!

Likely

What's happening to the black dresses patreon

towns

i remember there was a post on here a while ago with a comic that you made (gentle occurrence) — is that something you do as well as music? have you ever considered doing some type of project with more of a visual focus (or have you done this in the past?) ^^^^

Vesma

When/where/how did u meet Rook? What happened between you two to bring it all to an end?(fuckoffisanacceptableanswer) What, to this day, do u still punish yourself for? Are u left handed or right handed? What's ur favorite marine animal? How tall r u? What's your most hated Disney movie? What's ur favorite ice cream flavor? Fasten then zip, or zip then fasten? Are u confident that u could beat anyone here in a thumb war? If not, how come? What do u honestly think happens after mortal death? What do u hope happens? What did u say during the censored portion of the song 'Water?' Do u think the world can be saved? Does it deserve to be? Would immortality even b worth it? How many fingers am I holding up?(trickquestion,imnot)

S

what was the inspiration if any for the mom album covers ? they are some of my favorite covers ever :-) thank you god be w/ u.

Cindy Stern

Love the album and now I need a Girls Rituals album will that be sometime soon?

SentientSlime

Do you accept/enjoy fanart? how do you feel about people reposting your old songs that you no longer have officially posted?

glaethae

Thanks for answering my question Devi. I think part of why people relate to your art is because a lot of us have unfortunately had similar experiences to you. I'm wishing you and all my sisters nothing but the best.

gummy the bunny

are u still in the furry fandom? what made u join the furry fandom? if i tag you in fanart on insta are you likely to see it?
