french anon ici! tragically i’m a huge introvert so when it comes to friend making advice i’m prob not the best to go to,, for me i really struggle to talk to new people unless it’s a dedicated time/space for meeting new people (devastatingly terrified of coming off like a desperate weirdo) so if i’ve got any advice i’d say take advantage of events/situations where lots of people are going specifically to meet new people! aside from it taking some of the anxiety away it also means more people are willing to stop n have a convo + might come up to u first. not sure what you’ll be in paris for, but for me this mostly meant going to university organized events, but if you look online there’s tooons of events in paris meant for ppl to meet new ppl. also if you drink, bars n clubs are great too bc alcohol does indeed make ppl more sociable. waow sorry for the essay but hope this helped some!!! if u don’t mind my asking, when are u going to paris/what for?
ALLOOOOO merci pour l'essai <3
it was super helpful!!!! regrettably i am not the one going to paris this time, my little sister is and it will be her first time traveling without anyone her age (she's staying with family but she wants to make friends) so i thought i'd ask for tips :) i am a terribly irresponsible solo traveller and should have been murdered by now so i don't want to give her my own advice ahahah
i've always found being in another country makes it much easier for me to socialize because i can blame being a desperate weirdo on being an american and i'll never see anyone i'm Strange to again... and sometimes it goes really really well
#ask n answer#anon!#im not that irresponsible i just meet up with my mutuals or go to random house parties but i would rather die than tell my baby sister to#meet up with people from the internet. you know?

uHm if you do these and if you want to do it I’d love a bnha matchup <3?
• my name is Aubri, I’m bi but prefer MHA boys tbh. I go by she/her, too.
• I’m a very Gryffindor person. (Sorry if you don’t know Harry Potter - 😖)
• I’m a June cancer, and I have ADHD and anxiety. My anxiety can be literally crippling somedays, but it’s gotten better overtime.
• I’m a bit of a class clown and usually just a clown 🤡 but that’s irrelevant. My teachers all hate me but like school-wise I do well so we have a love and mostly hate relationship 🤧
• I’m usually the ‘entertaining’ friend, in elementary the popular kids would invite me to play games with them because, “you’re funny” and it was like the biggest achievement ever 😭👍🏻 then they’d ignore me but that’s another therapy session
• I’m usually made fun of by people for being ‘weird’ and ‘insane’. Like all through elementary everyone thought I’d be a criminal when I grew up JUST BECAUSE I HAD UNDIAGNOSED ADHD - I hate it here 😐🦶🏻
• I’ve always been super into crime stories/true crime (where my anxiety comes from, I’m always worried about a pesky serial killer just killing me. It’s usually being kidnapped tho lmao) so I knew and still know like all these murder facts and sometimes I’d just randomly be like;
“Hey did you know it takes 12 hours and 2 days to dissolve a body in acid?”
or
“If you bury a dead deer over a dead body you buried deep in the ground, when police dogs sniff it and people dig they’ll just think it was the deer and won’t dig any farther.”
• So maybe people had a reason to be scared of me and think I’ll be a criminal someday, i dunno.
• I love love love reading and writing, and also debating. The things I’ve wanted to be when I grow up are basically: Dog shelter worker, actress, FBI agent, politician, and a writer. But usually I just want to do something that makes a positive impact on people. Like i wanted to be an FBI agent to solve crimes for people. I wanted to be a politican so I could actually help a lot of people. The entertainment industry also seemed like a way to make people happy. Idk, but then I decided I couldn’t be a politican at 10 because they were all corrupt and to be one I would have to be too. 😫🤌🏻 we love some good childhood angst
• the only subjects I’ve ever excelled at are ELA and Social Studies aka History, and Math I can’t do to save my life. ELA comes easy for me and I usually don’t have to work that hard and/or get too stressed over it. But I always get the meanest teachers for some reason. For example, one time I did my final essay for like 30% of my grade in 30 minutes the day it was due and I got an A+ 🦟🦗🦟🦗
• Uhhh id describe myself as a pretty loyal friend, I’m a ride or die type of girl. A story from my childhood that summarizes it pretty well is when I was in 2nd grade my friend wet her pants and she didn’t want to go to the nurse for it alone so I peed my pants so I could go with her and she wouldn’t have to be alone. Like, you know, a professional problem solver
• and I have genuinely attacked people for fucking with my friends but don’t snitch pls 🕳🏃♀️💨
• But also just anyone, people at my school tend to come to me with their problems for me to either help solve them by reasoning, or just to confront the other person like the bad bleep I am 😈😈
• I also have a huge daydreaming problem, it’s literally maladaptive daydreaming. So paired with my ADHD I don’t get shit done like ever.
• I have really high empathy levels I guess, like I always say hi to everyone I see on the street, especially if they look sad 😔 I’ve done it ever since I was a little kiddo.
• My fashion sense is very much a preppy/alt style. I wear those ripped tights and fishnets, I also have the MOST BIZARRE JEWELRY- like who allowed me to buy the gummy worm glittery earrings, hmmm???????? and those Mary Janes???????
• But I love crew necks and pleated skirts so I always obide by the National “hoes dont get cold” policy 🇺🇸😫🦅
• I wanna move somewhere someday, I don’t want to stay in America for very long
• I can speak Latin, French, and my native language which is English.
• My music taste varies, but my all-time favorite artists who all of their music they’ve ever put out has been my favorites are, Billie Eilish, Melanie Martinez, and Conan Gray.
• I no-joke have a sign in my front yard that says;
In ✍️ this ✍️ house we ✍️ don’t ✍️ worship Jesus ✍️ but instead ✍️ Melanie ✍️ Martinez
• My favorite shows are MHA (duh), The Promised Neverland, and Malcolm in The Middle.
• and I’m not going to tell you what I prefer in a partner, because that ruins the fun 😤
• but I will say I cannot be friends with someone who doesn’t really make me laugh. Like I’m used to doing most of the talking in convos but if you’re just boring I’m sorry it’s nothing personal but no thanks 😐✌🏻
• About my physical appearance, I have fluffy n curly brown hair, but when it’s in the sunlight it looks sort of brown but golden yk?? It’s shoulder length :) I have bleach blonde streaks in the front. I like wearing eyeliner most days, too. I’m pretty average size/ on the skinnier side. Kinda high key inscure abt my body bc I got flat shamed in elementary EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TIDDIES NOW- whatever 😤🙄. I also have crystal type blue eyes, and I do have fairly big eyes. But, like, not weirdly big. A good big. My cheekbones are ALWAYS PRESENT so sometimes I get called a Tim Burton character but it’s cool ig ☠️☠️ oh and I’m kinda short. I’m 5’3, even though my doctor said I’d be 5’7. I feel like I was either tricked by the doctor or someone just stole my destined height while I was asleep. It’s probably cause I didn’t keep an eye out for Selener 👁 😔😔
• I’m a definite night owl, like all of my energy comes at night which really sucks cuz I can’t do much since everyone else is asleep.
• My love language is touch starved so I’ve never figured it out ✌🏻😗🔫
• but I am an attention whore so idk 😏
• I’m a huge introvert with social anxiety. It isn’t as bad as it used to be cuz I used to not be able to like go to restaurants but now I’m much better.
• I’m a huge history person, mostly like sad history LMFAO. Uh but a lot of my hyperfixations have been on history. Some examples are The Roman Empire, Julius Caesar himself, Anne Frank, The Titanic, the Black Plauge, Helen Keller, Marie Curie, Slavery in the US, Joan of Arc, and just a lot more. I always love talking about these things if someone would let me ramble to them but no one ever does 😖 it also got to a point where for all these subjects I’d go to the library and try to find a book on them but usually I’d either have already read it or I’d read it and know all the information.
• I’m super into Greek Mythology, I have 7 books filled with the stories, I’m going to Greece maybe this summer to see it’s history, and named my hamster Aphrodite but we call her Aphie. I also will talk about this forever and ever if you let me.
• My favorite color is yellow, my favorite food is literally nothing I never have an appetite, my favorite planet is Saturn, favorite song is Tag Your It by Melanie Martinez atm but it changes like everyday.
• Music is a huge safe-space for me if I’m feeling down or having a panic attack. It calms me down n is overall my coping mechanism 💃🏻💃🏻
• Biggest fear is spiders, even looking at one gives me a panic attack and I cannot sleep at all for that night, adding to my insomniac ass 🧎🏻♂️🏌️♀️
• I’m mature for my age, I don’t exactly like hanging around kids my age and I get along better with older crowds.
• i don’t like conventional dates, (I PROMISE IM NOT TRYING TO SOUND ‘QUIRKY’ AHAHA) I kind of like having a best-friend type partner more so dates that aren’t as romantic as like the movies or a fancy restaurant suite me better. My dream date is playing Monopoly on my bedroom floor 🦧
• Also I hate getting gifts. End of story. If someone gets me a gift like awe that’s nice but never again, I’d prefer to get you one. Especially in a romantic partner 😐 i keep a journal of my friends’ interests and hobbies so I can get them the perfect gifts for their bdays and Christmas’s. Been doing this ever since 4th grade.
• Though I don’t have much actual experience with relationships🧍🏻♀️
• I’m a huge believer in ‘family isn’t blood, it’s who you make it’ because I have a pretty shitty family life and my childhood has been trash. My friends are my family to me.
• Also if my friends don’t like my romantic partner ✨ GOODBYE ✨. Sorry girlie, bros before hoes 🦨💨
I was going to put more but I’m so so sorry for how LONG AND COMPLICATED THIS IS- idk if this is a autobiography or a matchup at this point 🤦♀️ don’t feel pressured to do this and if matchups aren’t open IM SO SO SORRY LMAO uh yeah ilysm 🦎🎂🧃
OMG ASLDFKJHASLKDJH
🥺 i’m so sorry bby but matchups are closed ;-; my 100 follower event was over while ago (i guess i should’ve specified that in the asks i answered LKSAJHFLKJAHDS SORRY IT’S MY BAD) but you sound so cool?? i had a lot of the same hyperfixations interests (heLLO helen keller was badass AF and the roman empire was messed up but still v cool, anne frank was awesome too) i also may or may not have wanted to be a politician when i was younger alskdjfhalkdhj but now i’m just 🧍🏻♀️ lost and anyways you’re amazing >.< love u lots and don’t forget to drink water and eat a lil something hehe :p

〔 ARÓN PIPER, 20, CISMALE, PYROKINESIS 〕╰ NOVA GALLO just came over half - blood hill . you know , the child of HADES who was claimed five years ago ? i’ve heard chiron say that he is PERSUASIVE & INQUISITIVE , but if you ask the aphrodite kids , they’d say they’re HOT-HEADED & STANDOFFISH . i’d say they remind me of the man behind the curtain masquerading as the great wizard, the kill by halocene, stargazing on a tailgate in the heat of summer, and nicotine kissed lips , especially since they’re FOR THE NEW CABINS .
hi there, hi there, hello there !! my name’s c, i’m old as hell from the AST time zone, and this is my trash son nova. he’s an existing muse i played a while back, with some of andrés and lolo’s backstory meshed together to make one mega-character. will it work? maybe. i’m going to keep this brief bc i’m allergic to intros but even as i say that, it’ll probably end up being a four paragraph essay. apologies in advance.
nova’s family life is ... complicated. he has a “twin sister” that he was raised alongside, but they’re only half siblings. both of his parents were having affairs, his mother, with hades, and his adoptive father with someone else. the two children were born two days apart so their parents made the unilateral decision to pass them off as twins and make their birthday the day between. was it crazy? yes. can people with money do whatever they want? also yes. they were raised as twins and didn’t know the truth about their parentage until they were in grade school. his father left one day, cleaning out their bank accounts and hightailing it out of town, and everything went to hell from there.
his mother and his sister would struggle with substance abuse issues. his mother, starting when they were young, and his sister as they got old enough to be really make sense of things. nova, to his own extent, has similar tendencies but feels like he’s ‘in control’ of them because his life isn’t as categorically messed up as theirs are. in ways, he felt like he had to step up and be the one to take care of them — essentially filling the hole that their father’s leaving left in their lives. even though he was only ten at the time. he tried to be the mature one, the responsible one, and tried to keep his life relatively together to make sure they didn’t crumble. does he repress his own feelings until they get so bad they explode out of him? yes. is he sometimes ignorant to his own issues? sees things as justifiable, or excused, because he’s looking at things through a biased lens? again ... yes.
when his father skedaddled out of town, they were forced to move in with his maternal aunt. goodbye olympic swimming pool, hello sprinkler in the backyard. suffice to say, living in a house with 8 kids spread across 3 bedrooms, privacy and normalcy were far from his grasp. thankfully, his mother now needing a job, enabled him to spend more time out of the house than in. she made her own line of jewelry and was trying to turn it into a business at local markets and festivals. nova, the more sensible of the lot, was in charge of pricing, keeping track of their money box, and making sure they never ran out of products or materials. it was a lot of responsibility for a ten year old but by the way he looked at it, it was their ticket out of the zoo that was their house. it was around this time that his abilities started developing. at first he thought it was dyslexia but the sudden onset didn’t make sense. without the proper resources to get tested, he was left just trying to find ways to deal with it hope for the best. in the meantime, his other abilities started to develop. as a child of hades, he could summon souls and communicate with the dead. imagine the shock of that the first time he started getting chatty with a ghost. eventually the dots were connected, his parentage explained, and his mother found a way to monetize that as they started working festival and carnival circuits. he’d be behind the curtain, a bluetooth piece in his ear, and he’d give his mother all the information she needed to seem like a gifted medium. it was all real, it just wasn’t her mother’s gift. from then on, it became her responsibility — her abilities — that kept the family afloat.
let’s fast forward a few years. now, 15, nova’s minding his own business when his father shows up on their doorstep and decides he’s coming back home. his mother and sister forgive instantly and act like he’s a monster for not accepting him back. apparently he’s a jerk for having an emotion about a guy who abandoned them just waltzing back into their lives like nothing ever happened. it’s right around that time, almost like he knew his life was being upended, that hades claimed him as his son. he decided to trade one deadbeat in for another and ended up at camp half-blood a few weeks later. he hasn’t spoken to any of them in roughly five years. ya yeet.
his speciality is pyrokinesis, which means he can control and manipulate fire! let me tell you ... the idea of creating hellfire pillars to trap his entire family in his father’s realm is very alluring. i think the only reason he hasn’t is simply because it would probably get him in trouble at camp and he’d have to be around them to do so. he’s fully content to stay as far away from them as possible.
when he got to camp halfblood, he wasn’t sure what to expect. ending up in the hermes cabin — because hades didn’t have one, despite being one in the big three — probably pissed him off. he was claimed, he was acknowledged, so it definitely made him angry that he was grouped in with others who hadn’t been. so when they announced the new cabins, he simply felt it was a matter of old injustices being corrected.
personality
nova’s what i like to call an extroverted introvert. he presents as extroverted but gets very anxious and stressed out if he’s extroverting for long periods of time. he’s happiest when he’s squirrelled away listening to podcasts or music.
he has a pretty big chip on his shoulder when it comes to parents, responsibility, and a number of other things. he was forced to grow up really quickly so he takes things more seriously than maybe he should, or needs to. he’s also the type of person who internalizes a lot of his anger, or upset feelings, so it’s not uncommon for him to seem virtually unaffected until he completely snaps. when he snaps, it’s ugly. he more-so fights with his words than with his fists, but it’s not completely unheard of to hear about him getting into physical fights.
since finding out that he had abilities and that he was a demigod, it’s given nova a sense of importance. he used to feel like being special was overrated, that just existing was hard enough as is, but give a man a little power and it goes straight to his head. he has really committed to this environment and is pretty good at hand-to-hand combat, though he’s not so great at anticipating attacks. he probably gets knocked back on his ass a lot but he’s not one to grunt and complain about it. he figures it challenges him to do and be better which comes back to that feeling of specialness. he has a pathological need, almost, to belong somewhere. to be valued. he’s his own worst critic and is probably sometimes critical of those around him too. never with malicious intent, but to aim for greatness. ( again, it comes down to feeling inferior, like he wasn’t enough for his father to stay all those years ago, and now he overcompensates to make sure deadbeat daddy #2 isn’t disappointed in him. )
he’s a very tactile person. his hands are always doing something, whether it be running through his hair, rubbing at the back of his neck, tapping against the inside of his arm, or playing with things in his hands. he also doesn’t make eye contact with people very often because he finds it uncomfortable. when he knows you, trusts you, then you might see that change.
he’s a relatively honest person. he lies a lot but it’s mostly to himself lmao.

GET TO KNOW THE BLOGGER!
Tagged by: my lover @hammurabicomplex I’m tagging: anyone and everyone who wants to pick this one up! share with the class if you feel like it! tag me in it!!
PRESENTING. RANDOM DEEP DIVE WITH INDIGO-MUN AT 2AM ;
FIRST NAME Good fucking question… It’s (sort-of) currently Dylann! I was Kieran before that, though; it’s still used as one of my first names and I’m not used to Dylann quite yet bc I’ve just started using it.
Indigo is one of my middle names though, and I’ve used it as an online handle elsewhere forever so I use it here now! [ Fun etymology facts: Dylan(n) is a mythology name generally meaning “born of the wave” (aspiring diver & a water witch at heart). Kieran means “little dark one” bc of my love for horror, && I chose Indigo bc as a kid to be it was neither boy (blue) or purple (girl) and was both and neither as well as my absolute favorite color as this vibrant ass mystical color. ]
STRANGE FACT ABOUT YOURSELF hmmmmm…. I’m a horror lover at heart, so as a child (I wanna say 12), I was walking through an antique store (I have a few cool finds, I considered putting my other one as the fact tbh) and I turned the corner and I saw these two dolls staring back at me at the foot of the stairs of this antique building. my blood froze, and i felt my stomach drop. i got actual, physical goosebumps stumbling across these two creepy dolls staring back at me in the corner, and i couldn’t leave the store without them. perhaps the little painted porcelain boy would be somewhat spooky by himself if it wasn’t for the terrifying lidded gaze of the porcelain girl with the hairline fractures and slightly open lips. i cant look at her. i dont really find dolls scary, I like to find the spookier ones ones, and she makes me paranoid as hell. i keep her face covered and her up in my closet except for when i bring her out to show her off proudly as the spookiest thing I have but……. i dont really collect dolls anymore. even thinking about her brings a fearful tear to my eye. i don’t like to think about her for very long, but that’s why I’m so fucking proud to own her. ( YES — I’m THAT white person in the horror film )
TOP THREE PHYSICAL THINGS YOU FIND ATTRACTIVE ON A PERSON hhhhh a beardy jawline, high cheekbones, crooked canine teeth >:3c
A FOOD YOU COULD EAT FOREVER AND NOT GET BORED OF b.l.t.’s with avocado. ahhhh. my mouth is watering just thinking about it, oh my god. just a bit of salt and pepper???
A FOOD YOU HATE barbecue anything, i hate the taste of bbq sauce, you keep your nasty black goo to yourselves at the grill. twice in my life i have presented with barbecue pizza and both times i cried literal tears. why would you do such a horrible thing to a person? what kind of a monster are you? how do you sleep at night?!
GUILTY PLEASURE the sims. constantly. always. i’ve sunk thousands of hours into my households. oh also uhhhhhh i run two 80s horror blogs, one being a shitpost blog with occasional art of mine and one gremlin fanfic ship blog for horrible, terrible self indulgent fanfics i’ll get the courage to finish writing & post so i can be cancelled on tumblr for at some point. NO, i won’t link them. as i pretend they’re even all that hard to find, within a day i was found on both by someone i admire here a lot :’) ilu bby thnk u eternally for supporting ur local horrifying dumbass wtf
WHAT DO YOU SLEEP IN the same clothes i’ve been wearing all day usually, my sweats & long sleeve raglans or my hoodies. i like being cozy day & and out. and ugh. efoort. just throw me in a blanket in a cool room and im out.
SERIOUS RELATIONSHIPS OR FLINGS serious relationships with some openness or poly. i wish i could fling! just not exactly easy for demisexual autistics lmao.
IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN THE PAST AND CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WOULD YOU AND WHAT WOULD IT BE I think I would be adopted by my grandma as a kid. It would save me some trauma but mostly I think it would get my autism diagnosed way earlier and save me angsting all these years of wondering why & thinking it’s my fault I’m struggling so much and so loud and affectionate and different in a world that i didnt fit in the same way.
ARE YOU AN AFFECTIONATE PERSON when i get drunk i text people how much they mean to me in my life. does that answer your question? ahhh. i’m sometimes a cuddle monster with friends, i message people with long texts about how much they mean to me, but I sometimes really don’t like to be touched at all.
A MOVIE YOU COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN FLYPAPER. F L Y P A P E R. FLYPAPER. FLY, and, I can’t stress this enough, fucking PAPER. ( Though also Whole Nine Yards and both Re-Animator & Bride ). I have watched Flypaper already like, 5 times this week and I’m still not done, and the other movies have been on repeat for days in this household within the last year. In the past it has also been Donnie Darko & the new Nightmare on Elm Street. roast me.
FAVORITE BOOK White Fang by Jack London. Have I actually ever finished it? No. Do I still own a copy I’ve had since childhood thru multiple dogs eating it, taking it to and from school, and highlighting and circling all the best parts of chapter one ever since I was a kid and it was too hard of a book for me to read? You bet your ass. If I ever need inspiration I just reread chapter 1. Although one of my other favorites was Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes. But White Fang is like, a weirdly personal text. We stan London’s writing in this household.
YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP ANY ANIMAL AS A PET, WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE FENNEC FOX!! I used to daydream about having my own named Shiloh when I was a lil kid. they’re adorable little things and i am obsessed. i mean, gimme any fox and im happy, marble foxes, red foxes… but I was obsessed with fennec foxes. Also tbh ferrets. I want a ferret.
TOP FIVE FICTIONAL SHIPS [IF YOU ARE AN RP BLOG, YOU CAN USE YOUR OWN SHIPS AS WELL] Rosa & @ninetyscnds‘s Luke, Rosa & @iimpulsivity is already screaming my name, Rosa & Constantine, Jesse & Andrea from Breaking Bad, and the joker and harley of 80s sci-fi Dan & Herbert from Re-Ani. I am but a simple opossum.
PIE OR CAKE Pie! I’ll take both pumpkin & melty apple over cake. also, cheesecake is more pie than cake soooo, pie wins.
FAVORITE SCENT my dogs / my blanket. :’) It’s the most grounding smell in the world.
CELEBRITY CRUSH oliver jackson-cohen, i’m fucking GAY and im angry about it. there i was, minding my own business, and i saw that asshole in a certain SHIRTLESS GIF and it AWOKE SOMETHING IN ME. dont talk to me about it, holy shit im obsessed with beardy men now god fuckkdafjaask i hate him why did he make me this gay i was perfectly fine being into girls but NOOOOOO him and his dumb hairy chest and sweet rugged face and I—— I also am obsessed with the archaeologist & television personality Josh Gates and may or may not be considering making a fan blog for him bc idk if my anthropology docuseries host is Dad or Daddy but i love him lots
IF YOU COULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD YOU GO I would go on a dive with anthropologists and archaeologists doing fieldwork research in the ancient cenotes of the Yucatán Peninsula. My actual dream job, catch me crying & fantasizing about being underwater documenting Mayan skulls given as offerings. Fuckkkk, I love anthropology so much!! take me anywhere in the world to immerse myself into culture & archaeology.
INTROVERT OR EXTROVERT Introvert. I have a real life friend I see roughly once a month, and that’s it. Plenty of online relationships, I’m chatty, message me all day every day. but i dont do people well.
DO YOU SCARE EASILY I used to! Really bad. I don’t as much anymore. I do get paranoia a lot still. Having therapists telling you that the FBI could be outside your house watching you through your windows will kind of nervous. ( no google results for: yes hello fbi i am a writer please dont put me on watchlists i just have research i need to do for this idea im working on, would you like to try again? ) I have nightmares nightly but not they never make me afraid, they just make me feel like crap. jumpscares and loud noises and seeing people reaching into their pockets dont set off as many brain alarms anymore tho!! progress haha.
IPHONE OR ANDROID I like my android better bc of capabilities but meh
DO YOU PLAY ANY VIDEO GAMES My mom, her husband & I play COD for family game night, and Silent Hill is my life’s blood. I’ve sunken hours into Sims & Skyrim, and Norman Jayden from Heavy Rain is my #1 fictional character in existence, why do i love the druggie babies
DREAM JOB Oh… You’re asking me to pick? I’d love to be an anthropologist doing work out in the field. Underwater archaeology is peak, but I’m also heavily considering being a body recovery diver or police diver. I’d love to see myself in uniform someday, if possible. Just the thought makes me teary eyed & proud.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A MILLION DOLLARS fund my person creative & educational endeavors. get myself a spooky ass abandoned house to make my own home to create in, and travel to the world’s best dive sites. just live a mild life of education, creation & exploration. that’s the dream TM.

Winter 2019 Anime Overview
I enjoyed every single one of the five anime I watched this season: Dororo, My Roommate is a Cat, Mob Psycho 100 II, The Promised Neverland and Kaguya-sama: Love is War.
So here are my reviews! I’ve cut back on the anime overview a lot, so these are shorter reviews than usual (though not quite as short at I’d like. someday I’ll be able to restrain myself)
Since I liked all of the shows, these aren’t in a strict worst-to-best order or anything, but the ones I found most impressive ARE nearer to the bottom. So let’s dig into last season’s anime.

My Roommate is a Cat
Premise: An antisocial writer in his early 20s adopts a cat and they both get their worlds expanded as they bond.
My take: Much like the kitty it centers on, this show is super cute, sweet and fluffy. If you’re a cat-lover and want to bask in some kitty adorableness, I encourage you to check it out. At first, I was afraid the main character Subaru’s grumpy misanthropy might be too much- I could certainly empathize with being socially isolated and avoiding people, but the way he was just rude toward others was grating. Fortunately, his character development is swift, so he quickly went from misanthrope to anxious-introverted-mess-who-awkwardly-muddles-through-social-interaction-for-the-sake-of-his-kitty, which I found EXTREMELY relatable. Subaru is coping with the loss of his parents and the fact he took them for granted while they were alive as well, so there are quite a few heart-string tugging moments.
The show’s central gimmick is that events will be told from Subaru’s point of view and then we’ll get his kitty Haru’s side of things. Yep, the cat narrates part of the show, which is how I knew I was in it for good. And Haru’s a very good cat! She’s adorable without being cloying, and at least realistic in how most of her thoughts revolve around food. Seeing her warm up to her hopeless human is just as sweet as seeing Subaru warm up to her. As a former stray cat, she has a rough backstory, so if even a restrained depiction of kitty death is too much for you, look out for that part. This show isn’t afraid to bring the feels, but it keeps things positive overall. Subaru’s friends are supportive and help a new pet owner out, and we even get a cute doggie in the mix. Overall, if you want a relaxing, nice watch with a simple, sweet story, you could do a lot worse than My Roommate is a Cat.

Dororo (Episodes 1-12)
Premise: Thanks to his father making a deal with demons, Hyakkimaru has to wander Japan and fight monsters to get his body parts back. He meets up with a young thief named Dororo.
My take: Dororo is a very loose adaptation of the 1960′s manga by Osamu Tezuka, who’s known as the godfather of manga. I was familiar with Dororo thanks to watching the live action movie for an article when I worked at epicstream (it must not have left an impression bc I remember very little) so I was curious to check this out. I ended up reading the manga too, and overall, I find it pretty impressive as an adaptation. It does a lot to make a really dated and incomplete-feeling manga more palatable and cohesive for a modern audience. Maybe I’ll do a full post expanding on those thoughts sometime, because the changes really are worth examining.
Dororo is definitely not for everyone- it’s a grim, dark show with lots of death and destruction.The story is especially not kind to women, who tend to die or be demons. The exceptions to this (such as a lady demon actually being presented as sympathetic) are mainly anime-original. Actually, while the anime eschews the original manga’s cartoon-y, jokey tone to be more serious, it actually has a much lower body count and more hopeful tone than the original, a contrast I find pretty interesting. But “more hopeful” is still not very hopeful. The story has pretty strong anti-war undertones and criticism of how authority exploits people, and there’s a lot of “these are the horrors of war” scenes and even a scene where Dororo witnesses a woman engaging in unhappy, reluctant sex work.
The premise of the story, a guy made up of mostly prosthetics on a quest to get his body parts and senses back, is also a dicey one in how it treats disability. The anime does at least make updates to the manga that lend the story a little more complexity on that front. In the manga Hyakkimaru can basically hear and speak through telepathy already and he’s portrayed as simply joyous whenever he gets a body part or sense back, despite not having a practical need for them.
The anime wisely jettisons the telepathy thing, meaning that Dororo and Hyakkimaru have some difficulty communicating, something that adds an interesting layer to the story. It means we find out about Hyakkimaru’s personality in bits and pieces alongside Dororo, going on a journey of discovery with him. And Hyakkimaru getting senses back is treated in a more realistic mixed-bag way- when he gets his hearing back, for instance, he has difficulty adjusting to it and experience serious sensory overload. It’s not really clear how he feels about a lot of things, much less the changes he’s going through.
Dororo himself is the heart of the show, really, and I find him to be really endearing and engaging as a character. His boundless energy and chattiness balance out the aloof Hyakkimaru, but he never gets overbearing or obnoxious. He’s been through a lot himself, and has a good heart. One thing worth keeping an eye out going forward is how Dororo’s gender will be handled. Dororo is afab, but in the original manga very vehemently lets everyone know he’s a boy. The anime also lets you know Dororo’s afab halfway through, but hasn’t really done much otherwise in exploring Dororo’s gender identity. I do think it’s unlikely we’ll get a handling of it as bad as the manga’s final chapters (Manga Hyakkimaru had a lot of strong, intrusive opinions about what Dororo “really” is that I think his anime version is unlikely to have based on his restrained characterization so far), but who knows.
Overall, Dororo is a nicely animated and well put-together dark action series so far. I’m not sure I would have ended up watching it if I wasn’t so interested in examining it as an adaptation, but the ride’s been pretty okay and worthwhile.

Kaguya-sama: Love is War
Premise: Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya are the top students at their prestigious school, and heads of the student council. They also have a crush on each other, but both are too full of pride (and nerves) to make the first move, so they come up with schemes to trick the other into confessing. Hijinks ensue.
My take: Kaguya-sama is a wildly funny rom-com about two idiot smart kids who don’t know how to say how they feel. It’s mostly a really good time. There’s a lot of laugh-out-loud moments. The characters are a lot of fun, especially Kaguya’s friend Chica, who is pure chaos in human form and has some of the best lines in the show. The animation and direction of the show are also impressive and lavish, elevating already good gags into greatness. The finale also does that thing where it’s all suddenly surprisingly emotional and hits you really hard with all the feels, showing a little depth and true friendship among all the characters involved.
However,there are a few “yikes” moments, and the most uncomfortable one and likely the biggest deal breaker was the “Kaguya gets sick” arc, which happens roughly the last half of episode 9 and the start of 10. In it, we’re treated to tropes that are both really tired and really uncomfortable, like Kaguya being sick and her friend, for some reason???, tacitly encouraging Miyuki to take advantage of her in her weakened state. Miyuki does not, but Kaguya pulls him into bed and he falls asleep due to sleep deprivation (which is admittedly relatable) and when they wake up she believes for a time he did assault her and throws shit at him, at which point he whines about being villainized even though he “held back”.
During the next episode, Kaguya is ~secretly kind of upset he didn’t assault her because doesn’t he find her appealing~, a trope that really needs to die bc the myth girls “really want to be assaulted” is dangerous. There were a couple okay moments in the whole thing, like Miyuki deciding he should have shut the whole thing down more firmly and apologizing for an infraction, and since Miyuki didn’t cross a significant line it doesn’t ruin their relationship or make them impossible to root for or anything, but the whole thing is tired and gross and unnecessary and not all that funny. I was able to handle it because I got warned ahead of time, but it was a chore of an arc, so here’s my warning.

The Promised Neverland
Premise: Emma and her friends Ray and Norman are orphans being raised in the happy, idyllic Grace Field House. They’re never been outside it though, and there’s a wall they’re never supposed to approach. When Emma discovers the truth behind the orphanage, a tense thriller begins.
My take: I was looking forward to this one based on word of mouth, and mostly it doesn’t disappoint! The writing hooked me enough that I’ve picked up the manga to continue the story. This a rich story. It’s an intense game of cat and mouse between genius kids and unscrupulous adults where the stakes are super high. Emma and her friends pull out all the stops to outwit and escape the ones holding them captive, and the twists and turns of the narrative are delivered well. There’s also some social commentary buried under its horror to add some bite. This essay goes into how it comments on forced societal gender roles, for instance.
A thrilling plot can only shine thanks to its characters, and Emma is great protagonist. Her determination to save her family and unpredictable nature make her fun to follow. She’s a rare and refreshing example of a female shonen protag, and she sells that power of friendship stuff pretty well when she has the brains and skills to back it up. The three main kids balance each other well, with Ray’s cynicism and pragmatism contrasting Emma’s stubborn idealism, and Norman stands in the middle as someone who’s inclined to think like Ray but WANTS to be more like Emma. Despite the many conflicts and differences between them, these kids are ride and die, and the show does a good job selling their familial-friendship. A lot of the moments between them are truly heartwrenching.
The story has a big glaring flaw, though, and that’s Sister Krone and the racism regarding her. It’s not my lane, so please read Jackson P. Brown’s essay here for more info. The anime not only replicates the problem with her design but makes things arguably worse than the manga by making her personality a caricature as well. The anime portrays Krone as far more unhinged and exaggerated than her vindictive but more controlled and canny manga counterpart, even adding this weird thing where she rants at and beats up a doll. This review on episode 8 talks about the author feels the anime failed with sister Krone and his feelings on Krone as a black character well, it’s definitely worth a read.
While I have those issues with the anime’s choices, I was impressed with how the last few episodes were directed. They hit it out of the park, leaving me breathless, emotional and wanting more. Thanks to that, I’m now reading an enthralling adventure manga! This anime was definitely flawed but I can’t deny I’m interested in seeing how the second season will shake out.

Mob Psycho 100 II
Premise: Season 2 continues to tale of Mob, a ridiculously powerful psychic middle schooler. He’s in the employ of Reigen, a con-artist who has fooled many (Mob included) into thinking he has legitimate psychic abilities.
My take: Holy wow. Mob Psycho’s first season had some incredible animation, atmosphere and direction, but season two fires on all cylinders. I’m glad I caught up in time to experience the show with everyone else these last few weeks, because it was always a treat- a visual feast full of heartpumping action and lots of sincere emotion.
Mob Psycho is an animation extravaganza, with some sequences that wouldn’t feel out of place in a high budget movie, dripping with atmosphere, artistry and aplomb. But the story and characters are really solid too and it has some nice themes and messages at its core. Mob is one of the goodest good boys in all of anime and he grows a lot throughout this season. At the core of the show is the idea that no one is worthless and also no one is more “special” than anyone else, that having power doesn’t give you the right to put yourself above others, that no person is inherently superior or inferior to any other, that even if you’re born with some super talent, you still need to try to improve yourself, value other people and the things they can do that you can’t and work hard to live a balanced life. Being powerful or born with a talent doesn’t mean you have the answers or know better-so it’s all about striving to make good, compassionate choices and taking control of your own life.
There’s a lot of stories that pay lip service to themes like these without really doing much to back it up, but this show sells it with an earnestness that few manage. Mob is a quiet and gentle boy, and you genuinely believe it when he says he doesn’t like fighting or using his powers on other people, and when he breaks down in tears because for all his power he can’t figure out how to set someone on the right path this time, your heart aches. The fact that Mob actually has difficulty coming up with the right answers and will sometimes gets overwhelmed by emotion and loses control, but keeps striving for honest communication, makes his approach come off as a lot more believable than the typical shonen-hero-converting-bad-guys-with-a-confident-friendship-speech bit.
The character relationships in the show are also good stuff, particularly the relationship between Mob and Reigen, which develops a lot this season with Reigen having to grapple with how yeah, he’s been kinda terrible and dishonest, especially with this kid he cares about and there’s a point where people have enough of it. There’s a lot of nice growth there.
All together, Mob Psycho is just Good with capital G. I do wish there were more girls in it, and there is a dark skinned character who’s caricature-ish in his design (he barely shows up in this season iirc), but otherwise it’s a quality rec and breathtaking example of the truly transcendent heights anime can reach.

(1/3)Hey Kait! I hope it's not too late to request a matchup. Appearance wise I'm Yoosungs height (I find that fact rly amusing), pale with dark brown hair & eyes. I wear glasses & mostly skirts and dresses. I'm a libra & INFP, therefore an introvert who opens up to my friends once I get comfortable. I'm multilingual, but only fluent in two languages & I consider reading, writing & watching shows to be my only hobbies (I'm not sporty in the slightest, although I find jogging quite calming).
(2/3)Generally I'd describe myself as reserved, openminded & humorous but painfully shy. I use sarcasm on the daily & among my friends I also use playful insults. My friends would describe me as a smart, independent & awesome person. But I'm honestly really insecure & lacking confidence so I can't say I'd agree with them. I can actually get really angry tho it takes a lot to make me express it on the surface & people usually think of me as a nice person bc of that.
(3/3)Patience is something I appreciate in people a lot. I prefer my small but close circle of friends whom I put all my trust in & consider them as part of my family. Once I befriend somebody I'll be hella supportive & loyal to them. Lastly some things I love are baking & eating sweets, cold weather & cozy clothes, a nice walk in the nature, Ghibli movies & tea! Sorry, this turned out so long... I appreciate the effort you put in these requests! Keep up the good work ❤
It’s never too late for matchups.
I match you with...
V!
You sound like you’re a wonderful person who cares for others and has a decent amount of wit. You have a lot of hobbies and the people that you choose to keep around yourself are those that are tight-knit. You think highly of those that you keep close and you are repaid by that with so many people that defend and care about you. You’re gentle, quiet, and thoughtful. That’s why the first person that comes to mind is V.
You’re this glue that brought so many people together, and you continue to radiate warmth. You’re easy to talk to and you’re the kind of person that can just empathize and understand where he’s going from when he’s down on himself. It isn’t all that hard for him to see how you’re feeling, and how he wants to make you feel like you should, like one of the most important people in the world. His attempts are rather more muted, like reaching out and grasping your hand in his own and smiling at you. He doesn’t need words, though, it’s written all over his face how he feels.
The things that you two enjoy most together are kicking back, going where ever the wind takes you and just taking it easy. There’s no rush or need to go about things, that’s why dates and time spent together are typically loosely planned and play out as you go. You’re this light in his life that allows him to keep pushing to be a better person.

intro - about !
[ lana condor, nineteen, cis female, she/her ] ━ did y'all see [ charlotte su ] walkin’ into [ wild flour bakery? ] they’ve lived in frostford for [ nine years, ] and you can catch ‘em around town working as a [ funeral service assistant ]. I reckon they’re pretty [ adaptable & attentive ] but I hear they can also be kinda [ coy & gauche. ] if ya see ‘em around, be sure to say hi. / tw death ! @frostfordstart
hi all of you lovely little bees out there honestly i missed the good old tumblr writing days so i decided to bring my baby charlotte who’s usually only referred to as chip bc her little brother chose that nickname herself and thinks its cool and edgy fresh.
BACKGROUND
she’s a second generation vietnamese-american baby ; her parents came to the us in the early 80s and established a career for themselves, her father having studied medicine and being a doc, her mother being a nurse at the time. soon the started traveling around the country and settled for the big city, NEW YORK. there her dad made a name for himself as a right hand of the police because he was employed at a big hospital as the head coroner. life was good in new york, it was nice. his wife however, wished for a different kind of life in a smaller town, less hectic because . . SHE WAS PREGNANT.
so the little family settled on bangor, maine. and that’s where little chip here was born and raised! since the whole coroner / forensic doc deal required a looot of time at the hospital, her parents eventually put their savings into opening up a funeral home because well, they’re qualified to be morticians and u kinda sorta work at home so it all works out. she’s had a good childhood, a little bit of a shy, oddball kind of kid who got bullied a lot tho because of her parents profession. chip never cared a lot about it though, in fact she’s grown neutral to the subject of the dead.
when she was ten, they finally moved to frostford, continuing their funeral home business there. i mean, people die everywhere, don’t they and since chip’s mum was pregnant again with her little brother gage, their house in maine got way too small. business was good, the little family felt ready for an adventure .. well, everyone but chip. she really loved maine.
so now her parents own a funeral home in town where she works at, mostly as a receptionist who answers phone calls, talks to the families, helps them pick all kinds of options. originally, she planned to go to college but because she’s super duper socially anxious she decided to ditch, at least for now. it’s a sore topic you could say. honestly you can kind of imagine her family like the spellmans in caos with the business, a wild bunch.
unfortunately, the missing maine part wasn’t it so the suffering continues as gage, her little brother, died in a road accident ; he all of a sudden simply took off to run towards a busy street and it only took a couple of seconds of no attention for the worst of the worst to happen. she’s still heavily dealing with that and she never got her own license because she’s now terrified of busy streets.
fun fact: her mother hates her nickname. her brother had a hard time pronouncing charlotte and so chip kind of stuck, but it’s oh so not feminine enough for mama su.
PERSONALITY
first of all, chip is a virgo ! she’s a little bit of a narc, a perfectionist, will tell u ur flaws. super duper introverted
suffering from heavy social anxiety and gloomy thoughts. she honestly doesn’t love talking as much, prefers writing depressing poems, probably.
a shy bean ! who’s ! never been kissed ! spent senior prom night sitting in the corner
says i hate men in the same breath as blushing once a cute guy talks to her
very very nosey. like super awkward with social situations too. makes it painfully awkward for everyone involved.
has the spirit of a 70 year old woman.
a virgin who can’t drive
hates pineapple on pizza and loves baked goods. she’s got a huge sweet tooth
super artsy girl. loves indie movies and music, has several galleries on her bucket list.
bisexual legend
WANTED PLOTS
i’ll have a page up for this soon probably, but right off the start here are some ideas bc i suck .. i’m a sucker 4 u, anyways.
a plot based on nick & sabrina from caos. i’d die for them.
a best friend, some friends, i mean she’s a loner but c’mon.
an unrequited crush. let her pine after ur charrie.
enemies to friends to who knows where it will lead !! think dan x blair from gossip girl
some bullies, hate on my girl
u can ALWAAAYS slide into those dms if u wanna plot or simply like this bc let’s face it, us tumblr writers are shy.

I WAS GONNA SEND IN NYX AND AVERY ANYWAY BUT GO FOR IT!
THANK YOUUU!!!
who is more likely to hurt the other?
Definitely Nyx... at least definitely in the story itself. Basically when they realize that they’re getting too close, they have to push Avery away to keep them safe (bc they, you know, blame themself for the death of Iris, and don’t want Avery to get hurt because of them). They end up hurting them a lot. Not because they want to, but.... yeah...
who is emotionally stronger?
I mean Nyx doesn’t really have emotions so I’d say Nyx I guess lol
who is physically stronger?
Definitely Nyx. Avery is a noodle.
who is more likely to break a bone?
My first thought was to say Avery, because they are clumsy and make stupid decisions and are also fragile af, but I guess in Nyx’s line of work, they might come across more situations like that so I’m honestly not sure
who knows best what to say to upset the other?
Gotta say both for this one. They know EXACTLY how to grind each other’s gears in a lot of ways. But if I had to pick one, I’d probably say Nyx.
who is most likely to apologise first after an argument?
It depends on the argument, but I’d say probably Avery
who treats who’s wounds more often?
I mean, Nyx is way more likely to get hurt... but also Avery doesn’t know much about that kind of thing, so I’m not sure for this one
who is in constant need of comfort?
Avery. Always. They are a Sad Bean and feel things very strongly.
who gets more jealous?
Neither lol, I can’t see either of them getting jealous
who’s most likely to walk out on the other?
Nyx. They basically remove themself from a situation if they are extremely annoyed or upset, because they want to make sure they don’t do something they regret.
who will propose?
Neither, actually. They’d have a conversation about getting married, decide to get married, and not have a big proposal or anything like that.
who has the most difficult parents?
Well.... I mean I’d say both of their parents tie for kicking their queer kids out of the house and disowning them and never speaking to them again. Nyx’s parents did it first when they were still in high school so maybe them?
who initiates hand-holding when they’re out in public?
They both do it at the same time. They know each other really well.
who hogs the blankets?
AVERY. ALL THE TIME. NYX FUCKING HATES IT. It’s part of why they don’t always sleep in the same bed once they’re together lol.
who gets more sad?
I mean both of them? They’re both dealing with a bunch of mental health issues and trauma so... Avery definitely shows it more, but they both do a lot.
who is better at cheering the other up?
Avery is really really good at cheering Nyx up, mostly because Nyx finds everything they do either obnoxious or hilarious
who’s the one that playfully slaps the other all the time after they make silly jokes?
Definitely Nyx. Or rather... instead of playfully slapping Avery, they’ll just stare at them deadpan for an uncomfortably long amount of time.
who is more streetwise?
Nyx. They were homeless for two years so... yeah.
who is more wise?
Probably Nyx, just because they have more life experiences. Not to say that Avery’s experiences don’t matter or don’t teach them anything, but Nyx had to figure out how to handle being a professional murderer for a living so...
who’s the shyest?
Avery, for sure. They’re both introverts, but Avery hates most social interactions, Nyx can at least put up a pretty good facade.
who boasts about the other more?
Nyx boasts about Avery and how smart they are constantly. They’re literally just like “and yeah, my partner is so great, they got a masters degree in history so they could go work at a museum, and they’re literally the most driven, hardworking talented person I know, holy shit I love them so much.”
who sits on who’s lap?
Avery sits on Nyx’s lap, and Nyx learns to love it

Hi! Hope you are well! Just curious, but I see you sometimes tag posts as “characterization”, and I just wonder what are some of your fave fic character things about the boys that have been proven/disproven in real life? I.e Harry is often written as loving sweet sugary coffee when we now know he prefers things strong/black, etc. Do you have anything like that that’s surprised you? Or you still like to write about anyway to fit the narrative you are looking for? Sorry, I hope this makes sense!
this is a super interesting question! I’d love to hear what y’all think about this as well, so send me a message if you have thoughts you wanna share. my response is under the cut bc it’s long, sorry 😬
to me, a lot of what fic is about is taking perceived character traits and expanding on them or putting them in different contexts. for example, we know harry is a gigantic music geek and has taken it upon himself to explore and learn as much as he can. in a fic, then, taking this trait and applying it to something else (perhaps he’s really into literature, or environmentalism, or etc) is what it’s all about! that way, it’s a balance of what you explained - maintaining their real life personalities while also molding it to fit the context of the story. it’s hard for me to say which I lean toward more, but I try to stay as true as I can to my perception of how they are irl while writing fic. if I actually achieve that is debatable lol. but what’s fun about fic is that you can always ask, “what if he was like this?” and run with your idea. idk I mean perhaps in another universe, harry would prefer sugary coffee, or maybe in our universe he’s lying about drinking black coffee, etc., so it’s all up to your own interpretations/headcanons and what you want to write. (personally I love that he drinks black coffee bc I do too, so I’ve always tried to keep that accurate ahaha)
my favorite characterization of louis is when he’s the confident, funny, outgoing friend who will gently tease others and act as a mentor/protector. I see this a lot in college au’s and I absolutely love it, how he exhibits big brother tendencies and is also really affectionate and assured and not afraid to show people how much he loves them. idk I feel like in an alternate timeline, if louis wasn’t mega famous and instead went to uni and had a relatively normal life, he would be the guy everyone adores and loves to be around, the person people go to for comfort and advice and also just to have fun. I also love how his sexuality is portrayed in this way, it’s just comforting thinking of how confident, proud, and at ease he would be.
similarly, I loveeeeee writers tapping into louis being a hipster (and the irony that he would hate being called a hipster) bc a ton of evidence points to him as such, mostly how he rejects trends at all costs lol (see: avocados, game of thrones, stranger things). vintage clothes, individualized/authentic music taste, attitude toward trends, etc.
for harry, I’m a huge fan of any characterization that focuses on how much of an eccentric, introverted-but-needs-attention, weirdo he really is. a lot of this comes from rs and behind the album, and I actually have a huge list of harry characterization I want to add into fic—mostly his music taste, athletic activities (hot yoga!), proclivity for jumping into bodies of water and losing his clothes, alone time (reading at a cafe all day!), and his jealous/petty tendencies. I love fics that write harry as getting emo sometimes but not always knowing how to express those emotions without pulling away for a bit first and engaging in introspection. I love fics that show how he can really be a geek for something, finding a topic he’s passionate about and really exploring it.
it’s so fascinating to me (and also scary) how much reading fic has influenced my perception of who they are as real people. sure, there are fics where I’m like “irl he would never do that,” but for the most part I think we’ve managed to create a body of literature that accurately encapsulates and explores the possible personalities of the real people we’re trying to describe. idk, that might be a hot take and it’s also what makes me uncomfortable about writing rpf, but I do think a lot of people hit the nail on the head with characterization just from using the info we know about them as real people. for example, a lot of the rs article about harry was new information, but I honestly didn’t find any of it surprising, bc we’re all so emotionally involved in what they do and how they act and that kind of constant thought about someone you see but don’t know personally is really interesting. this probably makes zero sense, sorry, my thoughts on this are a complicated mess.
I tag info for characterization on my blog as a reference for myself. I don’t write harry or louis as accurately as I want to and I’m trying to fix that with every fic I write. it helps to have these small details recorded, and to let them inspire a fic. it’s also interesting, as you mentioned, how perceived ideas about who they are have been disproved, and how there are trends in our fandom of the type of fics we write and they way we characterize H/L (2015 hipster health nut green smoothie yoga harry characterization, I’m looking @ u ) which may not be the most accurate, but are still cherished and enjoyed.
also, there are times when I read and write fics with certain characterizations that are probably not true to real life, but are still fun to write (ie my clairvoyant fic, where louis and harry “hate” each other, louis is a menace, harry is constantly annoyed, and they argue a lot). in these fics, it’s less of saying “they are like this” and more a question of “what if they were like this?” which is cool and interesting and exploratory. anyways this is rambly and confusing, but my point is that fic allows so much room for the author to make personal choices about what and how to write, which is a beautiful thing, because we have so much variability in our fandom’s fics, and there’s something for everyone.

im sort of new to christianity so I don’t know verses and chapters off the top of my head
but, i make the mistake of watching a instagram reel of this single woman in her mid 30s with no kids traveling and talking about being single and living this international life. And while just the thought of traveling all over the place exhausts me cause im a mega introvert, she got cute comments n all but. She got gross comments mostly from guys and a few from older ladies or maybe they were just troll accounts claiming to be talking about how shes wrong bc she’ll have no legacy/her parents probably want kids/all western modern woman (she was a white blonde woman) are too masculine nowadays/men want traditional feminine women who are submissive and she wasn’t because she liked to travel/she’ll be too old to be loved as the men she wants wouldn’t want her/she’ll have depression at 50 for being alone/etc etc etc. And, im so ambivalent to having kids or getting married. but for girls online it seem they can’t talk about being single and no kids without a horde of guys talking down on them for this choice. I saw a few guys talking about how cool her account was on her comment section but the other guys seem so upset.
This woman was nice in the video too, she never put down any woman who chose to have kids and get married, she just pointed out briefly that a lot of people were rude to her and might be rude to you if you stay single and not have kids in your 30s-40s for women. And I guess the comments from those guys proved her right? I don’t know. I’m feeling kinda down on this since I know I’m not world traveler or have a lot of money right now. I think the girl in the video was a model but i would like to be just happy like how she was in the video with or without a husband and kids but seeing how many guys will be upset that girls even consider staying single makes me sad. why do they expect me or any other girl when we’re in our 30s and 40s to act desperate and crazy for kids bc our bio clock? I don’t really see that in public. Couldn’t those guys adopt kids if they want to? Do these guys think that every other man wants kids? I know couple that do not want kids or cant have them. I saw one gross comment that a womans only purpose is to breed. He got called out and from his profile it seemed to be a troll account but still. Why do guys act like this? There was another that tried to say the same. When a woman who actually got married in her 40s and had her first baby then too called him out because she was defending the woman in the video, he backtracked and tried to act all nice after finding out she’s married and a mother. I just thought that was weird.Are women alone not to be respected?
The older women who claimed to be 70 with a husband and adult kids was sad to see because I’d hope that maybe older generations would encourage girls to choose what they wanted in life. My grandmas did, my older aunts really want me to have my own money and business soon same with my mom, and I worked at a retirement home where that was the common thing to talk about when I chatted with them. It was a joke kinda but they definitely liked hearing how I did things outside of the home without a older male approval like a dad or husband. one time during college my friends and I bought tickets to fly to the mountains. And we went camping where we saw so many stars at night. It’s one of my. Most special memories
And i brought up being christian earlier was that i DO remember reading Paul and how he mentioned that a life without marriage and kids is still worth living in Gods eyes. i just don’t know why whenever I see these types of vids pop up, it’s always 99% guys that take offense to this choice? Do they think if she were to say she’s single and interested in marriage they’d have a chance? or would they just make fun of her for being “too old to love or have kids” cause I think that’s part of it. A lot of these guys just seem like bullies to these girls particularly models too over choices that don’t affect them. But they keep saying how older women are all depressed after 50 when they’re all alone with cats - why are cats so bad to these guys lol I’d have an army of cute kitten if I wasn’t badly allergic 😂- while their married friends have kid are happy. Alot of older ladies have friends. And other family members. I just don’t see the lonely crazy ladys crying about not having kids in a cold sad apartment as reality at all but they keep projecting that image. Are they trying to manifest that? Lol
Sorry my ask is long . I am still learning English too 😅
.....anon, I think you really shouldn't bother that much about strangers life online. Yes, people can be ass twats, but ultimately that's none of your business, so honestly you shouldn't waste time and energy trying to make sense out of it.
It's been one of my latest resolution: unfollow any website/people obsessively scrutinizing world events, problematic behavior or documenting the downfall of society.... Like, I know the go outside and touch grass meme is used as a diss for no life but there is definitely some truth in it. There's more to life than shit happening that we absolutely have no control over. Humans aren't wired to be aware of the toxicity of people they'll never meet or tragic events happening on the other side of the world. I think being self-centered can be healing.
You're quoting Paul, but do you think he was the kind of man do care about whatever was being said about him? He was too busy getting churches on check and being dragged to prison lmao I mean, God put us on this us for a specific purpose, but unfortunately bc of the distractions of the world we are losing focus and get discouraged before even trying..... That's another trick of the devil imo. Take the good part of social media for edification and positivity and leave the rest that brings you anxiety and despair. Make an unfollowing spree now and then. I recently unfollow a girl (former feminist and now tradfem, sort of) who wouldn't stop talking about wokism, male-women relationship, etc. And as much supportive I wanted to be, she had such a downer low vibrational energy (this wokism discourse is seriously getting on my nerves, it's like people couldn't verbalize anything about the cultural shift beside this narrative) that made me unfollowed her. We shouldn't pick people's fights to care about over our own. Christ said that we had to bear our own cross. Chose wisely which one you're willing to carry, anon.

answering some questions no one asked for because i’m extremely bored
placement asks
sun: what makes you feel like you?
this is such a hard question, probably just because i feel like i’ve only really started to feel like “me” again in the last few months. sometimes being with my oldest friends (like friends i’ve been friends with for a really really long time) makes me feel more in touch with myself, because they’ve known me through so many phases of myself, sometimes they kind of bring me back to that. when i’m working rly hard on a school project that i really care about (if you didn’t realize i’m an art major so i’m not as boring as that makes me sound). when i’m talking to someone and realize i’ve been sharing a lot of my opinions and real thoughts with them wihtout hesitation. in therapy sessions.
moon: do you have problem with trust?
not really. i trust people pretty easily, i’m just a really open person. however i think i’ve lost a lot of trust in the way of like...i think it’ll be really hard for me to trust a potential romantic partner now that i’ve experienced a hard break up. it’s something i work on in therapy lmao
rising: how/what do people say you come off as?
most people tell me i’m likeable, so i guess just pretty friendly and open. i’m a saggitarius rising, i think that greatly benefits me socially until people get to know me and realize i’m a living spreadsheet
midheaven: what do you want to be when you grow up?
content lmao. i want to find a job i love, i’m honestly not sure what it would be. if i could publish my own photobooks i’d be happy with that. i just really wanna live a life that’s fulfilling to me, i have no idea what job i want just as long as i can make enough money to be comfortalbe and i don’t hate it
venus: do you flirt more knowingly or unknowingly?
probably unknowingly. a lot of guys get crushes on me when we meet, and i just think i’m being friendly to them, but it probably comes across as flirting. if i want to flirt with someone tho, i’m completely aware and i’m sure they are too because my real flirting is not subtle at all
mars: when was the last time you got mad and why?
i’m not sure. i don’t really get mad very often, when i do it’s usually just at myself. i get mad during/after therapy a lot (i mean not really /mad/ just frustrated) when we talk about my possible future relationships, how i might be holding myself back from meeting someone, certain things about my past relationship. it’s better now, but for a while i was mad every time we talked about the way i viewed myself
mercury: who's your go-to person when you need to talk?
truly so many people!! which i mean i’m really lucky to have that, but i’m also an oversharer so i’ll tell anyone anything more or less. but usually when something happens or i need help, i’ll go to annabeth, olivia, evie, or gabrielle first
jupiter: when was the last time you got lucky?
my mind immediately took this to mean sexually so uh. november. but as far as actual luck....idk man i’m still gonna say it was pretty lucky when i got laid in november. i don't really have good luck
saturn: what are you the weakest and strongest at?
strongest and weakest at introspection. i’m really good at knowing exactly what i’m feeling, why i feel it, and whether or not it’s rational. but i also lose myself in the negative side of introspection and destroy myself over my own perceieved failures
uranus: are you rebellious and do you act upon it frequently?
no lmao not at all. i guess to some just my appearance would be considered rebellious, but i really didn’t get tattoos trying to be a rebel
neptune: what was your best dream and why?
four years ago i had a dream that would give me the idea for a graphic novel i’ve been plotting until this point, and now i’m going to finally write it as my senior thesis project!!
pluto: what is your biggest aspiration and why?
also to be happy and content. why not man, who doesn’t want to be content? i feel like being content means being able to be okay with things not being perfect, and like..having faith that whatever is missing will work out eventually. which i struggle with, and i keep myself from being happy half the time i think. of course like my biggest aspiration would be to have all the things i want in place in life, but to be content in the meantime is a good aspiration too.
lilith: what's your biggest turn on in someone?
man if i’m into someone, literally everything will turn me on. but just right off the bat, it’s an energy thing. i’ll see someone i think is aesthetically attractive, then there’ll be a certain vibe i get from them that’ll make me really attracted to them
aries: what's your favorite sport to play?
what kind of question is this
taurus: are you a dog or cat person?
cat person
gemini: are you introverted or extroverted?
somewhere in between, but i think mostly extroverted. if i go too long without seeing friends, i get so unmotivated and sad. i need to be around people i like more or less every day. but i still do need some time to myself to reconnect and chill
cancer: when was the last time you cried and why?
sunday afternoon, i’m not really sure why. i’m gonna blame the cancer full moon.i just all the sudden got really sad about life and the future and the past and just everything, and broke down in my car while driving. then i felt marginallly better after getting it all out.
leo: what makes you the most confident?
honestly i’m rlly confident during sexual encounters. but in a more general day-to-day life kind of way, i feel more confident when i put some effort into my hair/makeup/clothes. if i’m in a good mood, i feel a lot more confident too
virgo: what's your strongest subject in school?
i’m in college, i feel like this kind of question works better for high school. but digital photography classes are the ones i feel like i do best in most of the time (all my junior year i felt like i was doing bad in them, but i felt like i was doing bad in every class so)
libra: what's your favorite make up brand?
i’m not rlly loyal to any one brand, i just use specific products exclusively. i like limecrime for the venus palettes, too faced bc i use their better than sex mascara, i’ve used almay liquid eyeliner since the 8th grade
scorpio: what's your most kept secret?
why would i tell y’all
sagittarius: do you like to party?
i love to party!! i literally never thought i would be someone who goes to parties, i thought i was way too socially anxious and afraid of the unknown to do it. but in the last year i’ve gotten way more comfortable with going to parties to the point i’ll even show up by myself (i mean i vaguely know pretty much everyone who will be there so there’s still that). but yeah now i always have a really good time and look forward to going to parties
capricorn: what's the last book you've read?
this book is full of spiders (seriously dude don’t touch it) by david wong, the sequel to the very beloved john dies at the end. i started it over the summer and finally finished it this winter break i had no time to read during the semester
aquarius: do you believe in aliens?
honestly i don’t ever give it much thought, but i don’t see a reason not to believe in them
pisces: how frequently do you remember your dream?
usually i remember rlly vague snippets, not much detail. every now and then i’ll have a really vivid dream with an actual storyline that’s worth remembering and those are my favorites. i wish i had them more often

hello, i’m dri ( she/her + pst ) !! i’m seventeen ( actually in the process of preparing for my good ol’ filipino debut next month lmao ) & i’m really excited to rp with all of you !! anywaY, this is veronica, but people just call her vera tbh bc she prefers that nickname & introduces herself to people as such :~) she’s really soft & sweet & i love her sm !! i have some info abt her under the cut, so feel free to message me for plotting or like this post & i’ll go to you !!
♡ — * » VERONICA CHOI looks so cute on the beach !! apparently, she comes from the united states and is a nineteen year old heterosexual cisfemale student. other hotel residents described them as endearing & dependable, but also quixotic & vehement. don’t you think they look a bit like JENNIE KIM ?
WHO THE HECK IS VERA?:
born veronica dahyun choi on june 29, 1998 in san diego, california but grew up in a city in los angeles county
she was raised by her single mother since birth, along with the several long-term boyfriends she’s had. she got along well with all of them, but she ended up more skeptical about the next each time. this kind of affected her mentality with her own relationships, but nevertheless, she can fall really quickly & really deeply. she’s just hesitant about acting on her feelings because, at the same time, she doesn’t know if it’s a fleeting emotion LOL
her mother didn’t intend on getting pregnant at the age of 23, but after finding out she was, she was ready for it. her boyfriend,,, not so much. they got in a lot of verbal battles, & he ended up leaving. vera never knew him & her mother wouldn’t dare let her try.
vera really looked up to her mom because she saw her as being so strong. she wanted to be strong like her. when men left her life, sure, she was upset & maybe shed a few tears, but her mom would never let it affect her to the point where she would be moping. her mom was capable of being independent. vera aspired to have that same mindset. she doesn’t quite have it internalized, but she’s trying to get there, more or less.
although she grew up a rather timid & shy girl, toward the end of middle school, she had made a few super close friends & become more comfortable in her own skin. in high school, she would think a lot of what other people thought about her & sometimes change subtly to seem appealing to other people. this sounds so cliche, but it wasn’t until she started dating that she began to realize her own worth & that she shouldn’t be trying to be someone she’s not for people who won’t accept her for who she is. she used to be so afraid of taking the chance of not being liked. i mean, she still is afraid of not being liked, but more ready ( ? ) for it i guess
vera’s currently a computer science major at uc san diego. she took ap computer science during her junior year of high school & found it to be quite interesting & fun ??! a lot of other people in the class were struggling with the logic & syntax, but she took to it naturally. she’s unsure of what path she’d want to take in the future, though. that part she’s still figuring out. also, she despises having to troubleshoot with a passioN !!
timing was honestly everything when it came to her decision to take up the offer to stay at hotel dionysus. jeremy, vera’s boyfriend of four years, ended their relationship a month prior, & although she was able to realize how toxic it became toward the end, she felt that she had tried so hard to mend everything & make him stay that she sort of lost who she was a little bit, so she hopes that going to a new place with new people help her become, you know, vera again. ( which means potential shifts in attitude, mindset, etc. from time to time )
WHAT’S SHE LIKE?:
she’s really friendly & sweet but she’s not, like, super oblivious u feel ?? very down to earth, but if she’s really comfortable, she could playfully roast the shit out of you. in a loving way, of course. if she’s in a certain mood, vera could be sarcastic as heLL, but it’s a little funny & endearing.
she’s honestly,,, a huge dork. people feel warm around her.
vera’s the type that rly identifies with her zodiac sign ( cancer ) & if she were to tell someone after they got to know her, they’d probably be like “o shit that’s so you”
incredibly loyal, even to a fault. she’s guilty of putting other people over herself from time to time.
she’s an extroverted introvert type, so it takes a little getting to know her before she can completely be herself around a person. not so much a party type. she gets socially exhausted easily if she goes to social functions & highkey needs to have time for herself every now & then or else she gets super nervous, maybe cranky.
a solid go-to if you ever need to vent or need comfort. want a shoulder to cry on ?? vera’s got you. i can’t guarantee that she’d give any solid advice, but she’s reliable when it comes to someone who is understanding & sympathetic. does ever take her own advice ?? lmao ur funny
if u kno the song “i fall in love too easily” by chet baker, that’s honestly,,,, vera. like. calm down. she literally just got out of a four-year relationship, so she is probably not emotionally stable atm to pursue anything. howeve r,,,, i’d never know with her if someone were to pursure her tbh.
she’s a pretty intelligent girl, but she doesn’t boast about it. she graduated high school with an unweighted gpa of 3.93 & took 8 ap classes, but aside from the occasional, random fun fact about how we share 50% of our dna with bananas or something, she never says anything about it ! she just picks stuff up rather easily.
oh, boy, can she hold a grudge !! she will forgive ( maybe ), but she will never forget if you hurt her. she can be super sensitive & will probably cry if you upset her. however, she is trying to be incredibly strong emotionally, & it takes a lot to truly hurt her, which is why she would still stick around people who sometimes treat her like shit if she gets attached to them. she just tears up at little things, honestly. those thai life insurance commercials ??? no chance. she cried at her high school graduation, man.
FUN FACTS:
collects pins & her collection is roughly at 107,,, never take her to anime expo i s2g she spends so much money there !! surprisingly enough, she never entered the realm of disney pin trading.
she has also co-owned & operated her own online enamel pin shop for two years with one of her friends & it has garnered a pretty solid customer base. they also sell stuff like embroidered caps.
vera was a blogspot blogger from the age of 15 to 18 ( mostly fashion & makeup ) & had a nice following on both her blog & other social medias, but she stopped consistently blogging after she got busy with her growing shop & other responsibilities. her pre-existing follower base is also a good reason why her shop took off well.
she had a youtube channel very briefly when she was like 17, but after a couple months short of a year, she didn’t have enough time to keep up. there’s, like, 16 videos on her channel. i would imagine they’d be like princessmei’s
a sucker for 50s & 60s tunes, esp jazz like ella & billie but also the four seasons etc !! she was a part of her school’s advanced jazz choir for three years as a mezzo-soprano after being in the women’s show choir ( her music literacy is amazing holy shit ), & she was vp of the group senior year. a lot of her closest friends stem from that group, so they still kept in touch after graduating.
vera is a super duper lowkey poet !! she feels so much, & she found that poetry was an amazing outlet for her to express all of the emotions she sometimes bottles up to full capacity. however, she’s really insecure about her writing & would never show anyone unless she truly trusted them. she really admires spoken word poets & watches button poetry videos religiously.
she speaks english, conversational korean, & high-school-level spanish
#corfintro#( ❝ system dot out dot print line yikes! ; dri. )#im so sorry this ended up rather lengthy!!! omfg

btvs/ats/community (hope i'm not doing too much lol) for the fandom meme
are you kidding me anon i live for this!!! thank you!
buffy
the character i least understand: like...anya probably? from a storytelling standpoint i don’t think the writers really agreed on what to do with her and from a relating standpoint she’s 1000+ years old and a former-then-again demon. they just didn’t really go into her character enough for me to say i understand her, and i think it’s easy to write her on a shallow level.
interactions i enjoyed the most: the easy thing to say is probably my ships right, and it is true that spike/buffy is my otp maybe mostly because i’m endlessly fascinated by their dynamics, but i also really love the og scoobies hanging out and especially the willow/xander friendship. beyond that i also loved tara&dawn and spike&dawn. and buffy&cordy, which i do ship but i brotp it more than otp most days. either way is good though.
the character who scares me the most: willow bc of below answer
the character who is mostly like me: willow. definitely willow. i’ve thought about making a photoset w characters i id w the most and she’d be dead center. i sometimes can’t even enjoy her character, especially at cringey moments, because of that, and i recognize that her worst qualities are some of mine too. i don’t think i’d try to destroy the world but thankfully i shouldn’t ever have the opportunity.
hottest looks character: faith? i totally change my answer every time bc i’m a cheating bisexual (this is the one scenario where that stereotype is correct)
one thing i dislike about my fave character: i’m going to use buffy as my fave here bc i’ll talk about cordy below. (i like to think about myself as having 3 types of faves in each fandom: the fave to watch, the one i id with, and the one i’d die for. buffy’s the latter.) writing-wise i dislike how we lose a lot of access to buffy’s inner mind. person-wise i guess her black-and-white thinking? it’s pretty necessary to her work and it’s obviously not as bad as like...riley’s but i think it’s detrimental to her in that she doesn’t seek out the help she needs. she wants to be all-slayer or all-buffy, she wants things to be all bad or all good.
one thing i like about my hated character: i guess my hated character is riley bc using a villain seems cheatish (i thought saying warren, and he makes star wars references). i actually have a lot in common with riley, which i’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, but i really like how he tried to be involved with buffy’s family? like obviously later in s5 that turned into him acting weird and entitled about it but at the beginning when he’s trying to befriend dawn and such is sweet and good.
a quote or scene that haunts me: ummm all of them tbh. but to pick a random one i think a lot about the scene of buffy just staring at the water coming out of the faucet. also another water-related one, when i watch the body i’m always struck by the weird water purifier/cooler thing you see in their kitchen bc we had that exact same one in the house i lived in before my father passed away. getting personal i guess but the first time i watched it that floored me.
a death that left me indifferent: all of them affected me a lot i feel but jonathan’s definitely had less impact than i feel like it should given he’d been on the show for like 5 seasons by that point. and i like him as a character! i guess it got really subsumed into andrew’s character arc which kinda sucked, and it was played up more as a villain moment.
a character i wish died but didn’t: none of them i love my kids
my ship that never sailed: faith/buffy!!!! why...
angel
the character i least understand: maybe lorne? again like with the anya thing this is a character with a potentially fascinating backstory and a very unique perspective and we get just a little taste of it. love him though
interactions i enjoyed the most: i really loved the whole gang’s interactions tbh but wesley&gunn’s friendship deserves a special shout out. also doyle and angel did so much with that bond in so few episodes. and i also really liked lindsay’s interactions with angel for some reason, idk. maybe because he brings out angel’s petty side.
the character who scares me the most: probably angel, right? not angelus but when angel himself teeters into Badness territory. i’m both scared of him and scared for him.
the character who is mostly like me: either fred or angel. i get compared to fred a lot irl and online from people who’ve seen it mostly bc i have the same vague face concept as amy acker and also a southern accent, and i am in stem and whatever but i never felt like there was a lot there for me to latch onto. imo fred was a major missed opportunity too, they didn’t flesh her out nearly as much as they could have. anyway they’re both kinda awkward and introverted and same.
hottest looks character: uhhh it’s cheating to say faith here again i guess but i’m doing it anyway.
one thing i dislike about my fave character: so i love cordy to death (obviously) i loved her almost immediately on buffy and only managed to love her even more but obviously she is very self-centered and could be a better friend sometimes...i guess...and i’m not gonna mention the travesty of her writing in s4.
one thing i like about my hated character: i guess that’s gonna be wesley? who i don’t hate at all i just felt like everything started getting drawn into the Orbit of his Manpain in the later seasons BUT i love dorky!wes to death. like “rogue demon hunter” wes. that’s the wes for me.
a quote or scene that haunts me: like not to be obvious but the “nothing we do matters, all that matters is what we do” MURDERS me every time like i honestly find so much meaning in that. but i also think about cordy accepting the demon at the end of “birthday” and almost cry every time she’s just so brave and strong and willing to be better and i’m upset.
a death that left me indifferent: wes again? i’m sorry y’all are gonna murder me. it’s not that it left me indifferent but after cordy and fred died...and not long after lilah either and lorne is over here shooting lindsay...i didn’t have many emotions left sorry
a character i wish died but didn’t: uhmmm none of them honestly except if s4 was a character
my ship that never sailed: WELL honestly angel and cordy never got to be together at all...but they did admit they loved each other...but my only other real ship here was wesley/lilah so idk, they were both tragic and barely happened so take ur pick, joss whedon hates my happiness :/ oh wait snap! i was actually a little invested in angel and kate before that arc got thrown out the window. so them i guess.
community
the character i least understand: excluding like...todd...of the main cast probably shirley. not that i don’t understand her exactly but it’s yet another case of writers not really knowing what to do with a character and her writing sometimes being very uneven. obviously it’s a comedy so i’m not expecting in depth explorations of every detail but i did feel like there were lots of blanks about her past/motivations/etc that just got ignored. still love her though.
interactions i enjoyed the most: well obviously i love annie/abed platonically or romantically...and i also ship britta/jeff so them too. there wasn’t nearly enough britta/annie which i also ship both ways. i also loved the weird dynamic with annie being pierce’s favorite...and shirley&jeff!! underutilized but always good.
the character who scares me the most: hmm i was really worried about jeff for a while there.
the character who is mostly like me: annie tbh her perfectionism and drive and anxieties are just.....right there in my brain....always.
hottest looks character: annie, alison brie is a flawless goddess of sexiness and humor. that said thanks to aforementioned identification i can’t crush on annie per se? but divorced from personality she wins for sure.
one thing i dislike about my fave character: so my favorite to watch is britta and i had a really hard time with some of her cringier psych-major material bc i’ve known so many irritating psych majors like that. mmmmmmmmnnnnnnnuuuugh. hard to sit through. good stuff but cringey
one thing i like about my hated character: i really don’t hate any of the characters? i guess picking pierce out of the mains i liked his moments of kindness and especially whenever he tried to bond w jeff. good stuff
a quote or scene that haunts me: the whole ending of “virtual systems analysis” honestly...some Strong Identification w both annie and abed happening there.
a death that left me indifferent: i mean i guess if hickey really died in s6 as implied in that one screenshotted email or whatever that, since they didn’t go into it, but otherwise i guess when star burns [fake] died
a character i wish died but didn’t: uhhhhh none i love my kids
my ship that never sailed: annie/abed, i can’t shut up about it (that said i’m glad it didn’t sail tbh bc i don’t think i would have liked what the writers would have done with it probably but still)
