I'm Manhattan Cafe. But you can just call me Cafe.
I'm an umamusume, obviously. We're calling ourselves Equia over here. We know there was a scientific species name for ourselves but we don't remember quite what it was, but given Myo is an American horse girl, we wanted to be multicultural about it.
I don't remember too much about my life before Tracen academy. It isn't really a focus in any of the media we've seen. But I'm a pretty quiet person, I've always been sort of sickly which made my performance on the race track suffer. I did manage to pull through eventually, though.
I also have always seen spirits and otherworldly things. Nobody really believed me much, especially about my spirit friend that would always race ahead of me. But she hung around me all the time, and now that she's gone I do miss her presence. People say it's the spirit of Sunday Silence, but I don't know if that's true.
I'm thinking of trying my hand at being a barista down in Divisus. Tachyon will probably follow me. She and I are on better terms now. I feel like we were always rivals and sort of friends, but her experiments always made me uncomfortable and angry. She agreed to stop trying to get me to participate in her experiments, so things are better now and I can say we're friends.

01. How many works do you have on AO3?
as of today, 01/12/26 - 39!
02. What's your total AO3 word count?
162,522!
03. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
1: written in the stars - souyo, persona 4; 2: because it's you - souyo; 3: comfort in small doses -souyo; 4: meet me halfway to your heart (i've given it all to you) - royed, fullmetal alchemist; 5: let's get lost - souyo
04. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
i always try to, yes! it may take me awhile sometimes but i like to always make sure that i reply because i really, really appreciate readers taking the time to leave a comment of any sort! the only times i don't reply are probably when it's like a comment becoming a thread/convo and idk what to say or it's ended at a good point.
05. What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?
i mean, i don't think i really have one that has any type of angsty ending? i only do happy endings because i'm a soft baby and need there to be happiness at the end. i don't know if i could write an unhappy ending tbh lol.
06. What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?
like the last answer, all my fics have happy endings! so i guess i'll pick maybe like the sappiest happy ending which i think i'd say would have to currently go to baby, i've got a lifetime to share (so let's start with forever) because roy proposes in it hehe.
07. Do you write crossovers?
i do not. i don't really get the urge to at all. i never say never though, so who knows.
08. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
luckily not so far! hopefully it stays that way lol.
09. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
i sure do! my smut tends to be pretty fluffy & schmoopy, i think. i just can't help myself apparently and everything must be cavity-inducingly sweet lol. i have explored & will explore many kinks! really just as long as i like it, that's all that matters to me so anything goes lol.
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
not that i'm aware of!
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
i don't think so, no.
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
nope! i'd probably be open to co-writing with folks i vibe well with, though.
13. What's your all time favorite ship?
royed (roy & ed from fullmetal alchemist) ! royed's just got my whole entire heart, y'know? writing them has come easier than any other ship i've ever written for. a close second would be souyo (the protag & yosuke from persona 4).
14. What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?
ugh, honestly, probably let's get lost unfortunately because i have no idea if i'll ever get the muse back for writing souyo/persona 4. hopefully at some point in the future because i'd hate to abandon it completely, but i just don't have an inclination for writing anything but royed currently. (i'm so sorry souyo i love you so much)
15. What are your writing strengths?
i think i do fluff & romance really well! i mean i make myself giddy from my own fluff so i think that's a good sign lmao. i also think i do well getting into character's headspace to get their voices and personalities as accurate as possible.
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
definitely my perfectionism & getting in my own head overthinking things because it holds me back a lot. i'm trying really hard to fight it off and just let things be as best i can so that i can write way more and care a bit less about whether or not it's "perfect" or "ao3 worthy" or whatever. as long as i like it, then that should be all that matters, right? lol. for like particulars, i think i'm pretty weak when it comes to action scenes and branching out into unfamiliar territory lol.
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogues in other languages in a fic?
i personally am not comfortable writing anything in any language that i'm not fluent in. i love seeing different languages in fics and i think exploring language barriers and stuff can be so interesting and fun, but i'm a bit scared to try it unless i pick up some more languages.
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
i do believe it was either sailor moon or inuyasha when i was like... 10 or something? idk a child though for sure. neptune/uranus & inuyasha/kagome respectively hehe.
19. What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?
hmmm maybe kpop demon hunters (polytrix & rujinu) or final fantasy xiv (my warrior of light/aymeric ehe)!
20. What's your favorite fic you've written?
it changes all the time, i think! right now it's what else can i do but keep wishing for you?
oh this is even harder than picking favorite films because music is everything to me and my favorite songs change daily sometimes. aaaaaaa
but i can give you some of what i've been listening to most right now:
my royed / writing playlist
the fullmetal alchemist openings & endings
the kpop demon hunters soundtrack
and my kpop/jpop playlist

oh gosh. my fave films change so so often much like my moods do. my most recent favorite is definitely kpop demon hunters! i'm obsessed with it & rewatch it multiple times a week. β‘
i guess a better answer of favorites would probably be my go-to comfort films that i could never watch get tired of: conqueror of shamballa (fma), how to train your dragon, howl's moving castle, spirited away, d.e.b.s., 10 things i hate about you, the mummy, phantom of the opera, rent, pitch perfect, the devil wears prada, shrek, legally blonde, the hunger games, to all the boys i loved before.
i guess pretty much i tend to gravitate towards really good animation films, musicals, & romcoms. β‘
my all time favorite favorite favorite colors are pastel pink & seafoam green! β‘
i'm also very partial to any & all pastels and the beautiful blues and greens that are in the teal/turquoise/aquamarine family. anything that is water/ocean centric gives the good brain feel.
