✒️ 11. If you have characters that embody certaintraits of yours—good or bad—has writing them changed how you view those traits?Has it affected you in any way? 

!!! Yes actually! I gave Drinden a few traits of mine I’ve always viewed as very bad or negative, and writing with him made me realize they’re more a side effect of mental health issues and need understanding from other people and myself!

💭 12.  Do you fantasize about being any of yourcharacters, or are you more detached? 

I suppose I do fantasize being them in the like, I get into their character really intensely when working with them to the point I’m sobbing and crying and can’t think straight sometimes. Not that I’d actually ever want to be any of them though, it’s just for fun/writing/drawing purposes.

🎵 13. Do you create playlists for your characters? 

YUP. And playlists for story arcs and stuff too.

🎇 14. When writing for specific characters, is thereanything you have to do to get into the right mindset? 

I usually turn on one of the playlists I have made either for the character or point in the story.

🌻 15. Which character is your guilty pleasure? 

SYANO. I was made to feel guilty for loving her for a long time cos generic anime catgirl whatever she’s my chubby princess who will kick your ass, m8

(I didn’t realize this was sitting in my ask rip me)SO FOR RECSIM RECOMMENDING A MANGA THAT I LOVE THAT JUST RECENTLY GOT AN ANIME!!Servamp! I love the mangakas who write it (they did an anthology for Kagero Project and they like Katekyo Hitman Reborn too) and the story is incredibleIt will make you feel thingsOther recs would be:

I Don’t Want This Kind of Hero - A webcomic about a world where cool super powers and half animal people exist. The story revolves around Naga, a psychic who I love and want to protect. He embodies everything I’d be if I had his powers. The story is light hearted and funny, with a deep plot and interesting story! I’m not really caught up atm, but it’s a favorite of mine!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn! - Why was this not first even tho it’s an all time favorite of mine? Because my life has no order and neither does this list. A story revolving around a middle school boy who finds out he’s the next in line in a big name mafia family! With crazy cool powers and also friendship, this manga/anime is one in which no one dies and everyone is friends in the end (except Daemon who I personally believe should go fuck himself)! The reason I really like this manga is because I relate to Tsuna’s “no-good”-ness. Like that stuff spoke to little 10 year old Rayne and all her insecurities of being called “annoying” and “a person who breaks everything they touch”

Senyuu - The snime is too short holy shit. Every episode (minus the OVAs) is on crunchyroll and each episode is like 3 minutes of screaming and Ros making some shitty joke. Ros is my fav btw. He is precious.BUT ANYWAY. Senyuu follows the journey of Hero No 14 (is it 14? or 13?) Alba and his soldier companion Ros as they work to defeat monsters and correct the monster issue in the world (The Demon King’s daughter accidentally summoned a junk tone of monsters while trying to make popcorn). It’s a really fun and interesting anime/web comic!! The webcomic actually just ended like a year ago? I read all of it and I’m still in tears it was beautiful.

And?? That’s all I got for recs rn but yeah I love these series with all my love, even if the fandoms are super smol (KHR aside)

AH YES, A CHANCE TO SCREAM ABOUT MY SWEET ROBO SON!!

24: What does your OC smell like?He has an underlying smell of metal, always. He also smells like fresh laundry! Sometimes he smells like lecture halls and freshly pressed suits tho and he hates it so much rip

25: What time of year does your OC prefer?Spring/Summer reminds him of when he was “young” and living out in Italy with his “father”. He loves the fresh scent of blooming flowers and the outdoorsy feeling the summer brings, even if he spends most of the summer months in an air conditioned building lol
