SpoilerMe: "Does the blood (talking about Qhen's) resemble a human's chemically?"
Bear: (Talking about the queen bug thing's blood) "Well, it's glowing and green so probably doesn't really mimic humanoid blood composition. If you take what I said at face value, it's a Non-Oil-Based liquid being used to power these things."

Me: "Do the weapons Qhen creates resemble spears and sword and stuff?"
Bear: "Oh no they totally resemble the weapons, which is why I made sure to note that Qhen has pretty extensive weapon knowledge."

Me: "Could Qhen extract the iron from his abundant blood and combine that for an attack that uses Viss' electricity bottle?"
Bear: "When I said 'weapons out of blood', I mean like, Qhen takes a mass of blood
and forms it into the shape of the weapon. They're solid and just as strong as metallic weapons. Qhen has just started out, and basically, you could just have Qhen make A (iron) SPEAR. It may or may not conduct anything, provided these things have anything to conduct."

Me: "Can I assume that Qhen cannot use the blood of others, just his own?"
Bear: "Oh yeah no definitely not. Qhen relies on their own power. Qhen has also turned all their muscle and skin into blood temporarily."
Me: "How is that possible and HOW is that temporary?"
Bear: "Those are both really good questions that sound like spoilers so yeah (can't answer)."

Me: "Anyways so what the heck is a web bottle? I assume a net of silk like stuff, or is it just like a glob of it?"
Bear: "The best way to handwave it would be like '1x use of Spiderman's multi-functional web slinging'."

Bear: (referring to the previous blood misunderstanding) "Ah yes, 'does the blood resemble humans'. Yes, Qhen's blood is red and irony."

Me: "Could Qhen create a defensive wall out of blood? Does he even know what walls are?"
Bear: "Yes, Qhen knows what a wall is, and provided it's within Qhen's repertoire, yes, Qhen could probably manage a wall. That sounds like a lot of blood, though."

Me: "Viss said that they were was resistant against the choirbug's effects. Is this true?"
Bear: "Viss is resistant to the choirsong. Viss does not actually know why, that explanation is one passed around by cloudsea explorers, and it pans out most of the time but also most of the cloudsea explorers are human."

Me: "Could Alice kill the choirbugs with her basic bullets?"
Bear: "Alice MIGHT be able to kill the bugs with her standard explosive shot. She doesn't know and you'd have to make a good case for her trying, rather than just opening up with the biggest and best (firepower) she has. She's already not in a great mood."

Also as a bonus because it's the best possible descriptor of Cloudsea:

Bear: "Enjoy the super rad anime fights and super awkward shitty romance sub-plot because Alice doesn't know people, Qhen is too self absorbed and Viss wants to just push their faces together."

And Viss is CONFIRMED to be the most Naruto of each of the three current protagonists.

(question about the whole taking other people's blood thing)
Bear: "Oh yeah no definitely not. Qhen relies on their own power"
Me: "Oh hey, they're Naruto. :p"
Bear: "The Naruto reference is probably closer with Viss."
Me: "Believe it."

So to add onto the pile of blood related questions, does Qhen control the blood in a telekinesis like fashion? Or is it something else entirely?
