hmm… reverse unpopular opinion for gonta (if you have not already received him, that is) and/or kirumi?

Surprisingly you're the only one who's asked me about Gonta, so I'm gonna start with him!!

I mean. Where do I even BEGIN? My entire blog is themed around him for a reason. Gonta wasn't a love-at-first-sight character for me, his design intimidated me (which was intentional!) and I was worried he'd be a jock character, which I'm normally not the biggest fan of. The moment he opened he opened his mouth, though, I fell in LOVE.

I've always been a fan of science-nerd characters so his entomology talent was extremely exciting to me. I assert VERY STRONGLY that Gonta is smart. The world outside his forest is just very new to him, including technology and the language everyone else is speaking.

I also really love his passion. The intensity with which he expresses his love for bugs is extremely relatable to me. Of course, I also love the way he speaks and his colour scheme (brown and green are my favourite colours! His canon outfit was nearly exactly my dream graduation outfit in highschool before I even knew he existed!)

I relate a lot to his naivete and genuineness, especially with how fully he experiences his emotions. I could go really deep into the core of why I relate to him and how his story throughout V3 impacted me, but thats a bit much and this is already getting a bit long gdshjkfsd. In Short: I see a lot of myself in him as an autistic person. He just means so so much to me.

(Kirumi is the v3 character I draw the least so I'm still figuring out how to draw her!)

When I first played v3, Kirumi was the only female character I was voicing with my friends. I feel kinda nostalgic about her because of this. I also really love how elegant and calm she is. Not only is it a refreshing personality within a group of Very Intense ultimates, it also really highlights how desperate she was at the end of trial 2. and OHHH my GOD her english VA's work at the end of that trial is stunning!!! That Scream was so visceral!!

I think there's a lot to explore with Kirumi learning to be able to do things for herself and not put others above herself at all times. I wish she was around for longer in V3 so that we could've seen her in more high-pressure situations, especially the later chapters!
