Here is my version

Explanations of each choice:

☑️ Cannibalism as a metaphor for [blank]: ohohoho, that would be a lot of stuff! Cannibalism as a metaphor of love, both reverent (wish to give every last bit of yourself for others, wish to accept the sacrifices of others) and unhealthy (self-destruction in the name of other person, desire to consume other person so they can be a part of you forever and ever), cannibalism as both a metaphor and a literal representation of desire to continue life (survival cannibalism), the desperation and the hunger, cannibalism as a metaphor for systems that destroy people, cannibalism as a metaphor of understanding the world (the "I wonder how I taste" question). There is just so many possibilities!

Speaks in learned accent: sadly no, I don't. But it sounds so cool, so I might try to learn. I did at some point early in childhood was taught some bits of theatrical way of speaking by my father, but I am out of practice. Also I am Ukrainian, so I speak with Ukrainian accent in other languages I know.

☑️ Aro: straight up aromantic. Though it is a bit confusing for me due to leftover pessimistic view on love and stereotypical romantic gestures.

☑️ Food snob with questionable tastes: it may be possible ARFID, I can't know for sure. What's funny is that my food preferences are not exactly Alastor-like. I have quite low spice tolerance, dislike sour stuff, have weird thing that makes bell peppers and tea taste bitter no matter what is done to them, and have strong aversion to seafood outside of some shrimp and seaweed, and have a huge sweet tooth. The snobbery actually comes out a lot with sweets. I can taste if matcha was made with too hot water, if cakes are too dry or cream is too liquidy, etc. Savoury side of snobbery is that I think spices are a cop out and you have to be able to taste the ingredients. The questionable tastes are just, well. I like artificial sweeteners and flavourings and tend to combine bunch of sweet things together. Also shrimp tails, I like to eat those. Okay, that's probably too much detail.

❔️Babygirl-coded: I am not sure? I guess I do like to feel cute occasionally and tend to relish in imagining the horrors.

☑️ Theater kid at heart: I haven't done theater since 4th grade but I miss it so much. Like, I am objectively a bad theater kid, my singing is terrible, dancing is bad (about that later), but I did end up with decent ability to speak loud and clear when answering in classes and I adore overexaggerated body language, and have a particular tendency for verboseness! Embarrassment gets the best of me most of the time though

Momma’s boy: oh, definitely not. For most of my life mother was the breadwinner in my family and due to her schedule she returned home really late. I was raised mostly by my father, but he is also not exactly the best at it. At the moment I tend to get a knee-jerk negative reaction over even just a topic of parenting, and especially over the assignment of role of parental figures in found families.

Causing problems on purpose: I become an anxious wreck about even accidentally causing problems for people, but I sure as hell daydream about going apeshit at some point. Maybe it's because I tend to feel that if problem inconveniences someone it's mean and hurtful but if problem doesn't inconvenience anyone it's not a problem

☑️ Touch-averse: partially. I am highly sensitive in a lot of "hugging" spots so it's unpleasant when people even brush there. But I'm also likely touchstarved as fuck too and have constant desire to hug people, which scares them off. So, I guess kinda like Alastor?

☑️ Edgy Deviantart OC-energy: definitely. Up until really recently my favourite colour combo was red and black and I would put it everywhere. Alastor is not too far away from how I designed my ocs (he even has almost the same haircut I had for years and so put on my self inserts). Nowadays it's more of a purple and black colour combo but the themes remained. I've gotten better with research though, so edginess contains sources, references and citations now. As of myself irl... does knowing basics of using a couple types of weaponry and history of getting into fights with people count?

❔️God complex: more like "I am capable of killing a god" complex. Do I think I am better than everyone else? Not at all, most people around me are better than me in multiple things. But my brain refuses to accept authority figures as higher than me and lack self-preservation as not to act on it. If I stood in front of a god I would say hi and argue with them. Maybe try to fight them if they piss me off. I would have done Hell's Greatest Dad number as well, maybe without the "you can call me dad" part. Oh, but in more traditional "god complex" sense I do like getting praise and like feeling needed by people.

☑️ Control freak whose life is out of control: there is two parts of my control freak, the perfectionist and the anxious. The perfectionist is leftovers of the gifted child that is still smouldering in my ribcage, seeing the work and how it could be better, speaking in voices of my mother and father. Inability to satisfy the perfectionist feels horrible and sometimes fuels the anxious. The anxious is one that lives by motto "the price of mistake is extremely high" (it's fragment of quote from book in Ukrainian about NASA flight control). The anxious control freak is the one that tells me that my mistakes will eventually would be weighted in cost of human lives. Also there is simply autism side of things because how the frick am I supposed to just accept sudden schedule changes?

☑️*disappears under mysterious circumstances*: I have a tendency to just fall out of groups of people, and then sometimes appear again acting like nothing happened. It's probably adhd thing.

☑️ Masks by smiling: it's not cultural norm to constantly smile (it's seen as annoying) where I am from and where I currently live, but I tend to act more upbeat and happy, so I won't be called rude. But not too happy so I won't get called clingy and annoying. Also sometimes smile is just a stress response for me.

☑️ Prey animal rage: I have a really short fuse about things and perceive a lot of stuff as an attack. Also overactive flinching if something is moving fast around me. I mentioned I used to get in a lot of fights? Yeah, most of them were started because kids have cruel jokes and agitating a nervous child looked funny to them. And then I looked unreasonable because I "started the fight". I think I am getting better with that, but I am not sure.

☑️ *bites you bites you bites you bites-*: both positive and negative. Positive is that I used to play games of lightly biting and getting lightly bitten as a child. Negative is that I did bit someone almost to blood when I got into a fight at one point. There is also neutral which is related to how I tend to experience world around me. Which is not only visually but also through touch. And touch includes mouth feel. Oh, also tendency of trying to open stuff using teeth, my mother hates me doing that.

☑️ Predator fear: I have an interest in weaponry. I know really well how easy it is to die from just about anything. That's one point. Other is the fear that I can hurt other people cause I was told my entire life that I am too rough, too aggressive, move too jerkily, etc. I wasn't allowed to learn certain martial arts because they are too "attack focused" and I should only defend myself. In funnier sense I am kinda scared of animals, especially ones that move suddenly and are loud, which are often signs of a scared animal. I don't like dogs for that reason.

☑️ Thinks showing emotion equals weakness: that's just post-ussr social stigma baby~. Basically being emotional is seen as weakness for everyone. But more so showing wrong emotions means weakness. I am trying to deal with it but it's too tied with masking to go away. You cannot be too excited about something, you cannot get too upset or angry about something, you cannot be worried over something, and many more. Sometimes it feels like people are hungry vultures, just waiting till I stumble.

☑️ Ace: no attraction here, and thought that attraction was a hyperbole for a good while. With regards to sex, I have no idea. There is a lot of musings about the topic in my head but they are not very defined. I do like to be on receiving end of affection.

Knows how to dance: I got kicked out of dance school as a kid for being to argumentative with the teacher, barely remember how to dance polonaise and have godawful coordination that makes anything fast almost impossible for me. Yet I still kinda want to. I tend to do some dance-like moves at home when I'm bored and get the urge to move.

☑️ "I would kill for you. Please let me kill for you". So I think I got in the fight with someone for sake of other person at least once. It feels like with how violent I was told I am perceived and how I developed the belief that classic signs of affection are shallow and meaningless, it feels like the only way I can express the intensity of my affection for others is to offer them my violence to point at whomever they want. (Also fun fact, I keep mishearing "I'd kill for you just like for daughter I spawned" instead of "I care for you" in Hell's Greatest Dad)

☑️ Violence is the answer: Yeah, I would offer some introspective info dump but I kinda don't have one. Just yep, it is.

Lies for fun: I don't find lying fun. But if I felt safe to do so, I like telling the truth in the way that messes with people.

☑️ Attention whore: oh, so here I can joke about being platonic pillow princess! Also I grew up in environment of people criticising the hell out of eachother so you can "know what to do better". Pure validation and praise feels like a drug I cannot get enough of.
