[starswallowingsea]

kaoru for the ask game bc it's his birthday!!

doing this 20 minutes before i have to leave to hang out with my friend but ! yes for the birthday boy

ask game

First impression: ngl i started playing engstars during atoz and i was so convinced i was going to produce him. oh how the turn tables

Impression now: i still like him but he just doesnt give me the same brainworms that crazyb and tatsumi do. i need to put him in situations though

Favorite moment: i think in general in sandstorm his scenes with hinata in the desert. it showed a lot of his growth from the past year and how he was way calmer and more ready to just help people without anything in return and like. make friends. sandstorm was really good for him on a character level.

Idea for a story: i'm already writing a long form fantasy au fic w him do not make me write more

Unpopular opinion: i feel like he's another underrated character. i rmr luce telling me that people hated him back in the day bc they were anime only and didn't get all of his development that happens in the other stories and i still feel like a lot of people look over his interactions with other characters in favor of shipping (namely uhm. no i shan't say but you can probably figure it out. not dissing the ship i like it too but its just i wish people would look at him for more than just that u know)

Favorite relationship: i will never get over the best friends arrows on his n kanata's relationship charts. guy who still likes kaokana in 2023

Favorite headcanon: he is trying so so hard to teach kanata how to swim and it is going miserably because he just gets distracted by how pretty kanata is! they've mastered floating and like. that's it. they keep being sillies and splashing each other in the water but thats okay they're having fun
