30 utapri questions!

Thanks @dekiaibadchoices​ for the tag, this was an awesome way to wind down after a ton of nonstop busy busy busy!!! (and thanks for tagging this blog vs the general utapri one so i can REALLY gush LOL) Here’s the OG meme! 

1. Your best boy?

BANANAMAN RAN WHO ELSE  

2. Your least favorite boy?

“least favorite” implies dislike which...not true! truthfully it’s much of HEAVENS by nature of ‘I haven’t spent as much time getting to know these characters so I don’t really know who they are.’ (though I already know I love to go for drinks and snacks with Van hehe) i do like all of HEAVENS quite a bit from what i’ve seen so far but that affection has not had time to ripen! 

3. A character that you never thought you would love as much as you do now?

mnmnj ranran tbh 

4. A character you can relate to in any way?

I can’t answer everything with Ranmaru but like. His ambition, straightforwardness, and how the soul and spirit of music motivate him to move forward beyond a tough past are things I same hat so much ;; But HONESTLY I also relate a lot to Masa and Tokiya, especially in their moments of self-doubt and dramatic commitment to to their art? 

5. A character that you think deserves more love?

Oh, Cecil, without a doubt. He’s such a resilient, committed, and open-hearted cutie and gets really shafted by canon tbh. Which makes it harder for everyone to see what a great boy this sweetie is! But I appreciate how Shining Live has given him some room to have really cute and standout moments so everyone can love him more but okay like, give me more Ceci and Ran palling around I love him most when they’re up to shenanigans 

6. A character you would want as your partner?

well we’re posting this fuckin here so you all fuckin know (im very embarrass rn i can barely say it lmao) 

(for the record i would also very much like to be friends with reiji and syo, they are cool people i think i’d get along with! and i know myself, if i knew otoya or masato IRL i’d just be like ‘well. that’s my son now’ and basically appoint myself their tough big sis-type-friend lookin out for them lol) 

7. A character you would want as your mentor/senpai?

I would swallow a pinecone before I called him ‘onii-san’ but teach me how to network kotobuki-senpai 

(No, like, forreal, I suck so, so bad at a ton of stuff Reiji is aces at, and I respect the hell out of his *waves* general everything and skilll navigating the industry. Since I’m a goofy, jokey, overenthusiastic teacher for work a lot it’d be nice to be on the receiving end of all that energy! and be a fucking decent kouhai that isn’t so horribly unappreciative of all his hard work and good cheer ) 

8. Your favorite ship?

shut your whore mouth i dont have the marbles to write it out 

(tbh it’s also Haru/Tomo, I just feel so much more romantic chemistry between those two than Haru and any of the boys u___u  Friends’ selfship stuff goes without saying, haha, and ngl I’m kind of About a Ren/Van rivalry hatemance? can i call it a kismesis thing? it’s a kismesis thing.) 

(actually no I think I’m just a member of the “Ren Fucks and sometimes it’s Hatesex” club) 

9. A character that you want to cosplay/have already cosplayed?

I had plans to cosplay Ranmaru a couple months ago bc it’s really not much of a stretch for my wardrobe, haha, but I dunno about that anymore! Part of it was wanting the Euphoria of looking like a tough, twunky, princely anime character but tbqh I’m already that every day of my life so 

I suppose if you were to pull my leg I’d go for cosplaying Van, mostly because I wanna try that mullet on for myself. 

10. Favorite side character?

TOMO!! LOVE U BITCH WHEN WILL I HEAR U SINGGGGGG 

11. Your favorite solo song?

god this is horrible how can I decide??? so many good ones??? I think it’s a draw between Top Star Revolution, No. 1, Brand New Melody, Wild Soul, Seien Brave Heart, and Junketsu Nara Ai ~Aspiration~ ??? 

12. Your favorite duet song?

HMMMMM again too many good ones. Three-way tie between Haru Hana, NorthWind and SunShine, and Original Resonance! 

13. Your favorite trio song?

Ahhh Dream More than Love is really nostalgic bc it’s the first Utapri song I really loved, but i gotta be real. It’s just Egoistic. There’s just no getting better than Egoistic 

14. Your favorite group song?

mmmm i’m be basic. Poison Kiss 

15. Your least favorite song?

I love Ai and Shouta Aoi’s incredible voice but......I’m really not a fan of super slow, overly-saccharine songs. u__u so A.I. really, really doesn’t land with me, much less so than easygoing (like Knocking on the Mind) or somber (like Winter Blossom) songs. 

16. Your favorite singer?

ranran...it’s always ranran...

(I do also adore Natsuki’s and Camus’s voices! I tend to like deeper, richer vocal qualities, but you just can’t beat Ranmaru’s subtle growls and high-energy rock!!!! <3) 

17. Your favorite group/trio/duo?

god what combo of these idiots DONT i love? I could watch Reiji prank and tease Ranmaru all fuckin day, and I also really like it when Ran’s at his most ‘tuff big bro-y’ with, like, Ai, Otoya, and Cecil!!! but honestly I do like how the Ran/Masa/Ren trio isn’t so straightforward and is more or less held together by a thin string of professionalism, there’s something i appreciate about not forcing ppl to just bury the hatchet and be Perfect Friends but you all can still care about each other? (Ranmaru needs to be nicer to them still but...) 

i need to suggest one that isn’t ranmaru centric fjdsioafjsa i fuckin love Soccer Buds (otosyo) and I loooooove it when Otoya and Cecil are good to each other!!! 

18. Your favorite member of Starish?

they’re all my favorite but if you REALLY had to make me pick.....Masato, probably, haha. I just...if you take yourself too seriously and care so much about everything but still know how to be Nasty how can I not love you??? 

19. Your favorite member of Quartet Night?

what do you fuckin think, hoss 

20. Your favorite member of Heavens?

I mentioned earlier I don’t really know Heavens well, so ofc this is all liable to change! But off the bat I love what a conniving yet wholesome bastard Eiichi is and Van is just the kinda guy I would rib and pal around with IRL!! 

21. Your favorite seiyuu/voice actor?

Ahhh that’s tough! I love all these goofbags, and Tattsun really is just so cool and makes music I’m pretty about. But I think I gotta give it to Suwabe, his performances are always so him but still pretty varied, and how can you not adore a man who loves his chihuahuas that much??? 

(if i’m being 100% honest Tattsun lost points bc he voices my absolute least favorite character in granblue ffjsfjisda) 

22. Favorite Drama CD?

HMMMMMMM see as a certified Giant Tool for Everything Mecha and silly and extra, I enjoyed the hell out of Polaris, but it really suffers from a lack of Ranmaru in my humble fuckin opinion lmao. So even though I’m not one for pirate stuff most of the time, I gotta give it to Pirates of the Frontier!! I really loved Ranmaru and Otoya’s dynamic in that one, and Camus was juuuuust the right amount of shitheel, too. 

I haven’t heard the whole thing but that thing from Egoistic where Natsuki squeezes Ranmaru to death and Eiichi’s just like ‘WUAHAHAHAHAH’ is also the mcfuckin best. 

23. Your favorite shining live card?

CAN’T PICK 

HOW COULD I POSSIBLY PICK?????????? LIKE??? I love the fucking dumb, dumb, dumb ostentatiousness of Evil Villains, I LOVE a good heel, and I also worked so so hard to t1 that event and had a lot of fun doing it!! But also, I just love his big smile and all the energy and mixed prints from Fortune and Prosperity, and it was literally the first time I ever got the exact card I was rolling for in a gacha on the last pull I had left!! (He also came home during a time I was really going through some shit, and ngl it rescued me a little bit!) but AHHHH Soulful Bass also came out right around my birthday, I love all the textures in the outfit and it’s generally the most My Aesthetique thing Utapri has ever released!!! And god, I just love it when he’s so confident and in his element like this, it sets me on FIRE to see him light up the stage wurghjgfj ;___; They all make me just want to HUG SO MUCH ARGGHHHHH 

24. Your favorite song beatmap?

Ahhh I think Shining Live really has great beatmaps across the board so that’s a tough pick! Almost all of them are super fun in their own way, but I think I gotta hand it to Wild Soul, Top Star Revolution, and Innocent Wind! 

25. Your least favorite song beatmap?

A.I. u__u Sorry, Ai...it’s just not fun for me.

26. Black Deja Vu or White Gravity?

Actually I’m really glad for this question bc I’ve been so busy lately I hadn’t given myself the time to really check them out! checking ......... 

and yep. Black Deja Vu. (I mean...Ranmaru is on it, haha.) But I’m so about this. Love this heavier sound and all these harmonies, this is so juicy. (White Gravity also absolutely kicks ass though!! I’m really liking that voice group, it’s making especially good use of those higher registers!) 

27. Utapri merch that you own/want?

Honestly I don’t have much u__u Not a lot of Utapri merch is my thing...you know? I’m mostly shopping for Ran merch if I’m getting any, but I’m very picky about how he gets drawn? Keeping his toughness and a particular clothing style about him is so essential, haha, and barely anything hits that sweet spot for me. But I will say I adored the whole ‘My Favorite Things’ series, and if I had the budget and space atm I’d love to get some of the Ran goodies from that line! 

28. How did you get into Utapri?

I first heard about it through some acquaintances from cosplay before Quartet Night was a thing. It didn’t appeal enough to my heavy metal ass to make me drop everything and try it, but I did have an interest in it I couldn’t explain and I’d always intended on trying it out. (especially after I got into Love Live and idol anime for a bit.) But it was Shining Live that got me! And I really only downloaded Shining Live because I was super exhausted after a business trip, didn’t want to leave bed once I got back home, and just wanted to sink my teeth in something new I could enjoy for hours while lying down, haha.  

29. A set theme in shining live that you want to see in the future?

This will surprise nobody, but something tougher. More rock, more punk, more metal. I want all of them in studs and spikes and leather, and I want less polish. More rough! 

I’d also love a wrestler set complete with who’s-a-heel-who’s-a-face but that’s a pipe dream and a half, lmao. 

30. Why do you love your best boy?

Oh boy. 

I think he’s this powerhouse of a human bean who can face a ton of pain and meet it with a big middle finger. And that middle finger is chasing after ambitious dreams, of spreading the power and soul of the same music that made me who I am and influences so much of my work, but also being ... you know, smart about it? He’s an idol because like, sure, maybe it’s not the OG dream, but you can’t dream if you’re dead, and you also deserve to give yourself a life and platform to share some of who you are, and you can do a lot of good with that, too. (And I won’t lie, I respect the drama of a man who takes his hair that seriously and commits so hard to the aesthetic he wears fuckin mismatched contacts i just. charm point ) 

But at the same time....I don’t know, this might sound presumptuous, but. I think. I just think he’d think I’m as neat as I think he is. I’m an ambitious, passionate person, too, and I also furiously stick to my ideals, and I also love the same kind of soul of music he does. I lean a little more metal than I do rock, but I think that’s nice, like sharing it has that ‘alike but different’ kind of familiarity and novelty all at once. Sometimes it’s tough sharing just how deeply rock and metal have sculpted me and my artwork (and therefore my career), bc it’s so deeply personal to me, and sometimes there’s weird elitism/misogyny/racism to deal with, too. But. The way he talks about rock, the way he describes the passion and how it transcends identity and is just a pure rush of power and sharing your feelings..................it just feels like he Gets it the same way I do. Just that unspoken, burning passion and understanding. I know it sounds weird to feel that strongly over just a music genre, but I just vibe with how to him, it really isn’t ‘just’ a music genre. I feel more accepting of myself for it, and I’d like to think he’d be real proud of himself for that.  

And listen, like....I’m very sentimental, but I really don’t like saccharine, flowery, romantic kinds of affection to be lavished on me. Just be straightforward but also a little tsun about it fjdsjfas and ..... those are the kind of feelings I can accept. And that’s the way Ranmaru is, and it’s also grounded in the kind of reality that I don’t like to be swept away from. He’s just so cool and hardworking and unwavering in his passion, it makes it easier for me to do the same despite all the bumps in the road. This got real long but Ran’s a cool dude, haha, I got a lot of positives to say. 

Anyways, I never tag folks for these things, but I love seeing everyone’s answers! If you see this and wanna fill it, feel free to count this as a tag from me :) I know this got real long, but with 30 questions how could it not haha? Thanks for reading and sticking around!

Fic Author Interview

im going to do this from the slightly broader perspective of creative writing in general (since i write fic but i also write scripts and things for my job). also this is v long. sorry.

What inspires your work most? (The show it is based on, the actor who portrays a certain character, maybe the character itself…? It could even be an experience.) so generally my inspiration is (in order): (a) my own life experiences, (b) some kind of commentary i want to make about the source material or about fiction or fandom in general, and (c) the characters themselves and the aspects i love in them, especially trying to find ways to play with the duality of their personalities, the good aspects and the negative ones.  i’ve known for a long time that what drives me to create is that i want to make other people feel less alone. you know those times to read something or there’s a line someone says, and you’re like, yes, yes, that’s me; no one’s ever gotten that before or at least never put it so perfectly into words, whatever that experience/feeling might be. i want to give people that moment with anything i create. there’s also a lot of things that i’ve experienced in my life that come up relatively often in fiction, or at least in fic, and a lot of it usually is off-putting to me. it never resonates. it’s melodramatic or simply inaccurate, and i think is often written by someone who doesn’t have the lived experience to pull from. so i always want to add my voice to the pile and benefit from my own experiences to make those kinds of tropes and situations more realistic and relatable -- to me, but hopefully also to others.  like generally every character backstory or character arc i write in fic is something pulled from my own life. like it’s probably twisted or adapted somewhat, because i’m not into being autobiographical. but as an example, in faith healer, this bit: Memory degrades with time. Maybe as a child he knew that somehow. He knew that there would be a second, slower death across time, as she became more of idea than person, and so he clung onto specific moments as a talisman for Mom: I had a mom once; this was my mommy. He remembers her hands best. The way her skin was thin and dry, but her fingers strong, and the way they'd close around his hands. The way she would press in love and good luck and humility when he misbehaved with a squeeze to his chubby, too small hands. Second best he remembers her laugh, the way her mouth moved around a smile, the warmth in it, tinged with embarrassment whenever someone startled it out from her. The rest of the memories are vague, more like facts he can read out of a mental police blotter than lived experience. She used to wear some kind of fleece robe in the winter, thick and pilled, creating a soft cushion between her breasts for his head to rest when he sat in her lap for a story. He thinks the robe was red. She used to bake things from scratch and used to let him pretend to help. On Sundays she did laundry, down in the basement. He followed her once, asking when Dad would come back, and she paused on the landing, basket of clothes cocked on her hip, and wouldn't go any further until he went back upstairs. The basement, she said, was too dangerous for him, dark and damp. She wanted him to be safe. She always cut the crust off his sandwiches. that is my experience of my grandmother’s death. when she died i knew i would forget over time the specific details of her, so i picked a couple to remind myself of daily so i’d never forget them. and that was her hands and her laugh. and i do have that memory of her doing the laundry and standing on the landing to the basement asking her where my dad was and when he’d be back (he was on an 18 month voyage to africa - my dad is a sailor). and she did always cut the crusts off my sandwiches for me.  (and btw i can’t ever re-read that passage with crying.)

What is your favorite fandom to write for? i mean, usually whatever my main fandom is at the time? which right now is spn. i did also enjoy writing potc fic and RDJ films sherlock holmes. i like writing characters who have a very strong but also very biased or unusual perspective on the world. they make for good unreliable narrators, which is something i love doing.

Which perspective do you prefer writing in? (First-person, third-person) always, always, always third-person limited is my go-to. i only write in first-person if the original source material is written that way (like ACD Sherlock Holmes) and i want to do a pastiche of that style. 

Do you prefer writing reader fics or OCs? no. full stop. (okay, one caveat: i do like kidfic, but i am also SUPER PICKY about reading it bc im always looking for some accurate representations of parenthood and what it’s like to have a child. like kids are hard??? they’re hard and they make you worry and they drive you crazy and they have their own, weird, stubborn, fascinating views on life and the world. they’re not perfect angel children who exist only to be cute or ridiculously amazing mary sue geniuses. so yeah a well done kidfic where the kid is an OC i will read.)

Do you prefer writing longer works or one shots? given that every single WIP i have right now are fucking, horrible, lengthy novels,i want to say i prefer writing one-shots. i want TO BE ABLE to write one-shots. i used to do???? but yeah, i guess i really do enjoy plotting and world-building, which lends itself to creating monster plot bunnies instead of short stories or quick scenes. 

Do you take requests? i do! do i ever actually get around to writing those requests is another question. but absolutely. send me prompts. ask for timestamps. if it speaks to me, and especially if it’s something i think i can write in less than 1000 words, i’ll most likely give it a go. 

Do you enjoy getting random Asks? yes! always! i try to respond at least with in 72 hours. but yes please COME TALK TO ME ANYTIME.

What inspires the names for OCs (or extra character names) in your works? Do you pick them from real life or just select them at random? A mix? so with fic, i never really write OCs, or if i do, they’re p much a red shirt or like extra #243 or smth and therefore don’t have names. if a character has spoken dialogue or no on-screen dialogue but some impact on the plot, i’ll try to “cast” that part with a character from the source material. for example, in the family business (which i realise isn’t posted yet), there’s some issues with a rival gang that need resolving. i cast the head of the rival gang as a well-known character from spn that has generally served a rival or an enemy to the boys on the show. i like doing that bc i like the parallels it draws, especially when working with an AU, and the ability to explore characters and dynamics from a slightly (or not slightly at all but in fact completely divergent) angle. i follow the philosophy that part of the real cathartic nature of AUs and part of why we write them is the ability to offer commentary on the source material. that a good AU should offer commentary on the source material. they're both metatexts and paratexts simultaneously. the one caveat to this, again, is kidfic, because i like and i do write it (i’ve just never finished any of those fics enough to publish them). and then i try to name kids in the way i think their parents would name them. i try to put myself in the character’s headspace and try to figure out what name(s) would appeal to them. and if we talk about work, and the scripts i write, i mean all of that is basically OCs. so far every script i’ve written while employed by my current firm, i always stick in at least one instance of one of my dogs’ names. i also will make subtle film or tv references. like the script i just wrote, there were three characters, and the first character had already been named harold by our content lead. so i named the other two perry and harmony as a reference to kiss kiss bang bang. i’ve done all the clones from orphan black as OC names. i’ve done members of radiohead.  if one of the scripts im writing already has a theme built into it for a specific pop culture reference (like yesterday one of the scripts i wrote was using yoda speech and star wars analogies as part of its marketing and engagement strategies) so i’ll name characters in line with that pop culture motif (so the star wars themed script has luke and ben and daisy and carrie as characters). 

If your story(ies) have OCs, are their appearances based on real people or celebrities? If so, who? as mentioned above, i rarely include OCs and if i do, they’re unimportant stand-ins. so i never give much thought to how they look. offspring in kidfic i do think about how they look. if the actors who play the main characters have children, i’ll start there. like for dean and cas, i always look at jj and west and maison and try to figure out what a kid with some of those combined physical features might look like. i’ll also look at photos of the actors from when they were kids or teenagers and try to decide if these two people had a kid, what features would that kid inherit.  for work, casting people depends on client expectations and design direction and budget, so it’s a different ballgame. 

How long have you been writing fanfiction? i think the first fic i published was in 2002 or 2003. so 15 years i guess??? how has it been 15 years dude.

All multiples of 3 for the character development meme

42 character development questions! 

YOU GOT ME FUCKED UP

3. How do they position themselves in a group? Do they like to be the center of attention, or do they hang back at the edges of a crowd?

Kishibe Ro.han is the center of attention. He is the peacock among dirty street pigeons who ruffles his feathers to scare them into submission. He gets off on attention and makes sure that everyone knows too. The only time you won’t find this man in the center of a crowd is when it wants it to be that way. Only happening when he wants to be sneaky or trying to eavesdrop on people.

6. What are they like in motion–in different environments, and in different activities? What causes the differences between these?

In motion Roha.n is like a pen writing in calligraphy. Moving fast, fluid, and with dramatic movements. Seeking attention and grace in all the best ways. The only reason why his movements would become jerky or erratic would be during a moment of true rage or if he’s caught by surprise. Or times when he get’s overwhelmed, and he only gets overwhelmed when he hasn’t slept in days/gets emotional overloaded/and is dealing with too much on his plate.

9. How do they manifest energy, exhaustion, tension, or other strong emotions?

It’s ironic that for a man who can clearly read and pinpoint exact emotions and feelings in another he has a hard time comprehending his own. The feelings that builds up the most in him is exhaustion and passion. The exhaustion takes longer to set in but is dangerous to allow to build up. It starts in his hands and shoulders and moves to take over his whole body causing it to slow and mistakes to be made.

Passion is also dangerous to allow to build. It’s like a buzz, making his body continue on even if he’s tired or in need of food. Depending on what he’s doing Roha.n ill let himself drown in the drug like high that pushes him to go on and do the task at hand.

12. How are they bodily expressive? How do they use nonverbal cues such as their posture, stance, eyes, eyebrows, mouths, and hands?

Everything about Roha.ns stance screams ‘power’. His eyes are sharp and are often looking down on people, even when they’re taller then him he doesn’t let that intimidate him. Lips often pulled into a frown and hips jutting out to one side in a way that says ‘don’t waste my time’. Although when he’s nervous his hands can often be seen tapping/fingering/or moving in a rhythmical way, it’s because he works with his hands so often that it calms him to have them in motion. 

But even if he screams ‘power’ and ‘beauty’ when he’s alone he slouches in his chair, letting his eyes grow tired from sleepless nights and manners thrown out the window. Not that he shows much of them out in the public anyway. No matter where he is Roha.n always acts like he owns the place.

15. What kind of inner life do they have — rich and imaginative? Calculating and practical? Full of doubts and fears? Does it find any sort of outlet in their lives?

His inner life is much like his outer life. Rohan hates being fake in any way and form. They only difference between the two would be the few and spaced apart dips in his mental health. Mainly correlating with how much sleep he has and if any old memories are triggered. When these dips happen he holes himself up inside his house (more than usual) and only gets more frustrated due to it hindering his ability to work.

18. What kind of person could they become in the future? What are some developmental paths that they could take, (best, worst, most likely?) what would cause them to come to pass, and what consequences might they have? What paths would you especially like to see, and why?

21. What kind of relationships do they tend to intentionally seek out versus actually cultivate? What kind of social contact do they prefer, and why?

He only wants platonic friendships where a person appeals to him. Whether it’s their personality, physic, or their mind. He seeks relationships that can give him something in return for him giving them something. As in his time, trust, and adoration. As a famous mangka he often gets people trying to use him for his money and fame so he tries to weed out those people with his harsh personality.

When it comes to romantic relationships roro doesn’t really seek them out unless his intended target meets all of his requirements. Which are a lot. He’s so fucking picky. He needs someone that appeals to him in all sense and is willing to put up with him and his odd a work habits. As for social contact he wants to be the center of it. all the time.

24. How do they present themselves socially? What distinguishes their “persona” from their “true self”, and what causes that difference?

Rohan doesn’t believe in having a fake persona for himself. He’s all about the truth, about showing his real self and not accepting any fake people or emotions into his life. /But/ sometimes he will but on a fake smile or a fake laugh in order to scare/trick people into leaving him alone or getting something from them.

27. What do they strongly like and dislike, in any category? Why?

HE STRONGLY LOVES MANGA.

STRONGLY HATES FAKE EMOTIONS.

30. What is their preferred level of activity and stimulation? How do they cope if they get either too little or too much?

IM GONNA ASSUME THIS IS SEXUAL—

Even though Rohan dresses like a thot out for a night in town he doesn’t get much action. He’s drop dead gorgeous but his nasty attitude and high standards keep people at bay. It’s very rare that he actually lets people in close enough to get sexual. It’s even more rare that they stick around for a relationship.

But when he does have sex he has a high sex drive compared with an even higher pain tolerance and a mind that lets him try anything at least once. When in a relationship his drive is high but when he isn’t he makes sure to keep it at bay. Can’t have a boner getting in the way of his work after all. But if it can’t be helped he prefers to get off quickly and just get it over with so he can get back to drawing. 

If he’s able to get a partner that wares him out Rohan will lay in bed and not move. Most likely faking death in an overly dramatic fashion to get his partner to take care of him or to get them to make him food.

33. How do they learn about the world–what is their preferred learning style? Hands-on learning with trial and error? Research, reading, and note-taking? Observation or rote memorization? Inductive or deductive reasoning? Seeking patterns and organization? Taking things apart and putting them back together? Creative processing via discussing, writing about, or dramatizing things?

ALL OF THE ABOVE.

When rohan is interested in something he goes at it from all angels. Even if it means sticking the random object into his mouth or taking it apart and putting it back together depending on what the object is. If it’s an animal he will try to run around and observe it in it’s natural habitat while researching all known info on it. If it’s an object or person he will not let them out of his sight.

Fortunately HEAVEN’S DOOR allows him peer into a persons body and memories so he’s able to get any information he needs from what ever catches his interest.

36. How much do they rely on their minds and intellect, versus other approaches like relying on instinct, intuition, faith and spirituality, or emotions? What is their opinion on this?

Rohan relies heavily on instinct/impulse and intellect. Now he is a fighter (or just plain spunky) but he isn’t exactly built like a joestar. So he relies more on intellect to figure out a plan to exploit his opponents weaknesses and get the best action to win. His opinion is that just using brute strength is plain stupid. One can’t win on strength alone when it can be used against them.

Even if he is impulsive he tends to move with tact and a plan forming as he moves.

39. What sort of questions or thoughts recur in their lives, either specifically or as a theme? Why are these never answered, or answered permanently to their satisfaction?

He constantly wonders why he forgot about Reimi. Sure he assumes that the stress from barely seeing the murder, learning she died to save him, and having come close to death himself, on a child was too much and forced him to suppress his own memories. But he constantly wonders why she was completely and utterly removed without a name or a scent triggering the memories to come back before the fated meeting.

FAVORITE FCS TO PLAY/PLAY AGAINST: I’m not really too picky as long as I think that there would be writing chemistry.  I do usually like to keep within the Marvel universe but can branch out into other verses too.

FAVORITE SHIP YOU’VE EVER HAD: I really enjoy all the ships I have for Audrey but   I generally love the ships where I can build up a whole plot for them. When I get into a ship, I really get into a ship.  I love to create lots of verses, tag partners in things that makes me think of the ship, or IM them with ideas.  I’m probably annoying as fuck but that’s just the way I like to rp a ship.  Obviously, if my partner doesn’t like that kind of stuff all they need to do is tell me and I won’t do it.

Audrey isn’t really a muse that people want to ship with so when someone shows interest I just get really excited, and even more so if they seem to be really into it also.

So right now my favorite ship for Audrey is with Fitz ( specifically @lovelornrocketscientist ‘s Fitz ).  It’s been the first real relationship that I’ve had for her where I felt like she’s had a good connection with.  They’re just real sweet with each other and even though they have a bit of a communication problem at times. I think one day they’ll be able to work through all that and make their relationship stronger than ever.  And I really love all the verses and ooc chats we’ve had about them.  IDK it just makes it fun.  I just love that ship a lot!

FAVORITE FANDOM YOU’VE BEEN IN: Marvel

FAVORITE SONG TO GIVE YOU MUSE:  Here with Me by Susie Suh but I have lots of ship specific songs for her also.

LEAST FAVORITE FCS TO PLAY/PLAY AGAINST: I don’t really have one for her.  I think she plays off anyone really well as long as there is chemistry there.

LEAST FAVORITE RP EXPERIENCE:  When I got into rp with Audrey I immediately found a Phil and just clicked with the mun.  We had built up all kinds of verses and threads, tagged each other in graphics and talked ooc through IM.  It was so much fun.  We played together for over two years and then I began to notice things started to cool off between us.  I figured that it was because the mun was busy.  Then they started to delete our threads, saying that tumblr was ‘eating them’ but it was funny because it was just our threads and none of their other partners.  When I would IM them just to talk or tell them an idea I had, they wouldn’t answer for days or week, saying that they didn’t see them.  Then they started writing more with another mun ... So I sorta figured that they just didn’t want me anymore.  Which sucked because we had built up so much with our characters and we had been friends.  So it hurt a lot not knowing what changed to where they felt like they didn’t want anything to do with me/Audrey anymore.  And it still hurts even though I haven’t rp’ed with that mun in over a year.  I’m sort of leary now to get too close to people on here just because I feel like it could happen again.  I’m not asking to be anyones favorite partner or anything like that.  I just want to be respected.  If something isn’t working anymore, I’d really appreciate SO MUCH if the other mun would just tell me. It would still hurt but at least then I could just work past it without always wondering what I did wrong.

LEAST FAVORITE GENRE OF WRITING:  I like them all.  If there’s a good idea. I’m usually all for it!

LEAST FAVORITE FANDOM YOU’VE BEEN IN: I’ve never been in another fandom than marvel.

LEAST FAVORITE THING PEOPLE ASSUME ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER:  That she’s weak and boring.  Just because she has a sweet and kind personality doesn’t mean she’s boring.

OTHER CHARACTERS YOU’D LIKE TO PLAY:

No one really speaks to me right now.  I’ve played other characters in the past and no one has really grabbed me like Audrey has.  It’s pretty safe to say once my muse for her runs out, I think my rp days will be over lol.
