#bc what the hell does blair waldorf have in common with tokito?! well nothing but they are just like poppy!!!! :D

[almostyours]

"    [...]   i've been seeing a lot of tweets and tiktoks from angels saying that x character is just like x hiraeth member,  and honestly,  i thought it’d be fun to make a video about it for all you losers who want to know if your favorite anime character or whatever matches up with any of the members.    [...]    like,  not too long ago,  i watched this parallel edit of geto and poppy with mitski's abbey,  and man,  what the fuck?!  that was as messed up as that one kaia’s working for the knife edit.  the power of life-changing edits…   "   —   august  2,  2024

TLDR.   a  quick  CHARACTER  STUDY  of  the  hiraeth  members,  using  actual  characters  from  other  media  as  references.  narrated  and  explained  by  popular  youtuber  and  angel,  bestie.  template  credits  to  user  @/aqualvng.

POS.   optimistic,  hardworking,  passionate,  loyal,  ambitious NEG.   overbearing,  stubborn,  overly  idealistic,  emotionally  guarded

LESLIE  KNOPE,  parks  and  rec.  

"   [...]   i think this is what happened.   imagine mama and papa hiiragi binge-watching parks and rec and thinking,  yeah,  let’s just make our own version of leslie.  i’m telling you,  leslie is basically kaia—  super charismatic but,  like,  in that way that’s a little overbearing but you still can’t help but find it endearing.  i mean,  everything about leslie is this perfect blend of being super driven and sweet,  and it just screams kaia to me.   "

TOMOE  MAMI,  puella  magi  madoka  magica.   

"   so,  if you think about it,  mami and kaia are like two sides of the same coin.  mami's got this super mature,  collected vibe,  right?  and even after everything she's been through,  she still manages to be this caring,  protective figure for everyone around her.  that's basically kaia in a nutshell if we consider how hard it was for her to debut.   [...]   no matter what happens,  she stays strong and keeps looking out for everyone,  just like mami.  it's that mix of being graceful under pressure and still having so much heart that makes them so similar.   "

MIZUNO  AMI,  sailor  moon.  

"   kaia is totally the sailor mercury of the group.  just like ami,  she's always the voice of reason,  the one who keeps everyone grounded when things get crazy.  sailor mercury’s got that calm,  logical vibe that balances out the rest of the team,  and that’s exactly how kaia rolls too.   "

ALPHONSE  ELRIC,  fullmetal  alchemist.   

"   everyone says that kaia gives off major alphonse elric vibes and i agree!  just like al,  she's got this really gentle and kind nature,  always looking out for everyone else and keeping the peace.  even when things get tough,  alphonse stays strong and focused,  never losing that caring side of him.  [...]   she’s basically the heart of the group,  just like alphonse is for edward.   "

KOCHO  SHINOBU,  kimetsu  no  yaiba.   

"   kaia reminds me so much of shinobu from demon slayer.  she's got that calm,  almost serene vibe that keeps everyone around her grounded.  but just like shinobu,  you can’t help but feel like there’s more going on beneath the surface.  kaia's so composed and collected,  it makes me wonder if there are things she’s keeping to herself...   "

OTHERS.   yuuji  itadori  jujutsu  kaisen,  joy  inside  out,  maizono  sayaka  danganronpa  series,  amy  rose  sonic  the  hedgehog,  monica  geller  friends,  navia  and  yae  miko  genshin  impact,  pam  beesley  the  office,  debra  morgan  dexter,  aisha  winx  club,  diana  prince  wonder  woman,  kanroji  mitsuri  kimetsu  no  yaiba,  nate  archibald  gossip  girl,  aerith  gainsborough  final  fantasy

POS.   compassionate,  determined,  kind,  hardworking,  loyal NEG.   assertive,  aloof,  self-critical,  perfectionist,  stubborn

EDWARD  ELRIC,  fullmetal  alchemist.

"   ed and poppy are both super funny,  and they’ve got that quick wit that keeps things entertaining.  ed’s got this hilarious anger that pops up whenever someone mentions his height,  which just adds to his charm and reminds me when poppy said she didn't like when her members teased her because of her height.   and who knows,  maybe she reacts the same way as him!   [..]   but underneath all that humor,  both of them are incredibly determined.  ed’s always putting in the work,  no matter how tough things get,  and poppy’s right there too—  funny and playful,  but totally serious when it’s time to get things done.  they both know how to balance humor with hard work,  and it makes them really stand out.   "

BLAIR  WALDORF,  gossip  girl.   

"   queen b and poppy are like two peas in a pod—  both super stylish and ambitious,  always bringing their a-game when it comes to fashion and getting what they want.  they’ve got that sharp sense of humor that makes them fun to watch,  but let's be real,  their ambition can sometimes rub people the very wrong way.  they know how to work a room and get things done, but not everyone is a fan of how they do it.  it’s that mix of charm,  wit,  and a bit of ruthless drive that makes them very similar,  even if it doesn’t always win them friends or fans.   "

MUICHIRO  TOKITO,  kimetsu  no  yaiba

"   my boy tokito and poppy both have this cool,  nonchalant vibe that makes them seem pretty aloof at first.  but once you get to know them,  you realize there’s a lot more beneath the surface.  muichiro might come off as distant,  but deep down he’s super kind and cares deeply,  even if he doesn’t always show it unless it's with people he really trusts.  i think poppy’s got that same energy—  she might seem detached to non fans and casual listeners—  she does hold the ice princess title,  after all...  but she’s actually nice with an interesting humor.  it’s that mix of seeming indifferent on the outside but being truly kind on the inside that makes them so similar.   "

SUZUMIYA  HARUHI,  haruhi  suzumiya  no  yuutsu.

"   [...]   haruhi’s got this whole quirky,  controlling side,  always wanting things her way because of her vision and interests,  while poppy isn’t quite as intense—  but who knows?  there's still that spark in poppy where you can see a hint of haruhi’s need to steer the ship.  both of them have a knack for getting people to follow along,  even if they do it in different ways.  [...]  it’s that combo of charisma and a touch of unpredictability that makes them so captivating.   "

TIFA  LOCKHART,  final  fantasy  franchise.

"   i think that they are surprisingly similar when they’re in their comfort zones.  both of them share a mentality of blending strength with charm.   [...]   tifa is open and nurturing,  always ready to support her friends while kicking some serious butt.  poppy,  though more reserved and i doubt she can go around kicking butts because she’s an idol and she's under a contract,  has that same underlying vibe.  if you think about it,  poppy might actually mesh well with someone like cloud,  but her personality and mentality are really close to tifa’s.  it’s like they’re two sides of the same coin,  each showing their unique flair but with a fundamentally similar approach to life and relationships.  plus,  poppy literally looks like her!   "

POS.   laid-back,  resourceful,  insightful,  confident,  passionate NEG.   immature,  impulsive,  lazy,  overzealous,  egotistical

JAKE  PERALTA,  brooklyn  nine  nine

"   they are like kindred spirits in the world of not taking things too seriously.  both of them have this laid-back,  sometimes immature attitude that makes them incredibly funny and relatable.   [...]   even though they might joke around and not always be the most serious,  they’re absolute pros at what they do.  they can be goofballs,  but when it comes down to it,  they’re still incredibly skilled and get the job done.  their ability to balance humor with top-notch performance is what makes them very similar.   "

KOMAEDA  NAGITO,  danganronpa  series.

"   [...]   both of them have a way of captivating everyone around them with their unique charm.  nagito’s got that edge of unpredictability and a touch of madness,  but yvan,  while definitely charismatic,  is not on the same level of insanity…   but who knows...  still!  their magnetic personalities and ability to be both compelling and a little bit unpredictable make them quite similar.  they’ve got that special something that makes them stand out, even if yvan's a bit more grounded compared to nagito’s crazy ass.   "

STICKS  THE  BADGER,  sonic  boom

"   sticks and yvan have this blend of quirky energy and unpredictability.  both are known for their eccentric and offbeat personalities,  always keeping things interesting.   [...]   they might express it differently,  but both share that ability to captivate and make us laugh with their one-of-a-kind charisma and off-the-wall energy.   "

IZUMI  KONATA,  lucky  star

"   both of them are so relaxed and easygoing that it sometimes gets them into trouble.  konata’s lazy tendencies and carefree attitude often lead her into all sorts of misadventures,  and yvan shares that same chill demeanor,  though there might not be quite as extreme since they are an idol and have to work,  y’know?...   in a way,  konata could almost be seen as a parallel to yvan,  while kagami,  with her more driven and serious side who is known to scold konata because of her laziness,  fits poppy perfectly.  …you guys remember that one video where poppy was scolding yvan during isac,  right?   "

FURINA,  genshin  impact.

"   they have this strikingly similar vibe when it comes to their outward personalities.  both come across as charismatic and confident,  always putting on a great show.  but underneath that surface,  it feels like there’s a lot more going on.  i am not overanalyzing yvan,  before anyone starts!   "

"    [...]   and yeah,  i hope you enjoyed this silly little video!  just a reminder,  this was made purely for entertainment.  i’m not trying to overanalyze,  force a trait into them,  or read too much into their personalities because that’s not right.  we don’t know these girls personally.  we’re all just fans here.  we don’t know shit,  and that’s something we shall respect.  this video was just for fun,  to have a little laugh,  and to connect our favorite characters to them.  so,  yeah,  i hope you had a good time hanging out with me while i did my makeup!   [...]   see you next time,  besties,  and don’t forget to leave a little likey like and a comment down below!  bye bye!  stay hydrated and keep being everyone’s besties!   "
