So what inspired you to take the magical boy angle?
send anons! my face hurts too much to format this ask too much.
its really a spinoff from the very first verse virote had on this blog, which is him being a summoner in the game universe of final fantasy x. idk if u a fan or not but summoners basically train all their lives to journey across the world, collecting these beasts called aeons to aid them in their pilgrimage, reach the holy place of zanarkand, and then sacrifice themselves in the final battle against a monster named sin in order to save the world. so in tandem with doing magic they also send the souls of the dead into the the afterlife aka The Farplane™!!
so i was like 'yeah ok ill make him a witch! he'll deal with spirits and shit!' but that wasnt enough for me because i look around everywhere and there's a witch. not like there's nothing wrong with that but first off i'm pretentious and i'm stuck up and i gotta crank up everything i'm doing by 100000 if i wanna feel myself getting somewhere. sometimes you gotta have a gimmick in these parts, esp if u got a muse that uh. doesnt really fit the racial demographic. here enters his lore and making him deal with demons and spirits all over the damn place with excessive, planetary magic!
also im a big ass fan of 80s / 90s anime. the magical girl genre, ive seen so many shows. sailor moon, corrector yui, wedding peach, creamy mami, mermaid melody pichi pichi pitch, pretear.... which i actually didnt like gfkljdgdkl but god damn it was pretty. the list goes on. also i combined this with my love for shows that are pretty shonen with more dude oriented casts like. like yuyu hakusho and ushio & tora.
i step back n said to myself ‘self... what if i used this as inspiration for a dude that’s experiencing an existential crisis 24/7. like he’s fighting evil by moonlight and also worrying about what the fuck hes gonna be doing by the age of 30. also binge drinking at gas stations while sobbing to hall & oates.’
also my personal works really dark. my poetry, dark as shit. the audiodramas i’ve written, dark as hell. i’m working on a trilogy of books rn that all based off of demonic wars and biblical prophecy and societies inspired by the illuminati + ordo templi orientis. i just wanna have fun like im not here to write super serious, heavy shit all the time.
i love campy, fun pop culture references. i love the mid2000s and all the tacky glitter and the 70s / 80s japanese city pop feel. glamour, glitz, and absolute god damn ridiculousnes. it’s my faaaaavorite thing.
and honestly i just want people to open my blog and be like ‘this is the tackiest thing ive ever seen in my life.’ whether or not they like it isnt my concern. i dont really care about what literally anyone thinks ever because i’m self-centered and my opinions matters over everything! they can follow or not. liiiiiike..... the 90s magical party bus welcomes all.
so!!! i hope that answered it for u :”) im so sorry this got long thank u so much for sending this in!
I AM REALLY PASSIONATE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
