Fandoms: 

• Tokyo Ghoul
• Kuroshitsuji
• Berserk 

the first character you loved:

• Uta (Tokyo ghoul, ch11) 
• the Undertaker (Kuroshitsuji, ch6)
• Guts (Berserk, vol3)

Uta & the Undertaker are characters of a similar type I know I’m completely weak to, so no surprise that I fell for them both at first sight and the fact the respective stories gave them a role (that’s still) hidden under a lot of mystery is only amplifying these feelings.

For Guts, the first three volumes of Berserk just left me o_o in general since I had no idea as to what was going on, until Guts’ flashback began and then it was impossible not to love him from the moment he was three and held his adoptive mom’s hand through the plague killing her. 

the character you never expected to love so much:

Ayato (TG): the reason I started TG and yet when I actually met him in the Aogiri arc, I found him so emo and pretentious that a part of me really wanted to punch him in the face. 

It changed when we found out about him being the black Rabbit in ch143 and :Re never gave me one reason to stop loving him. The fact he’s currently the only one who’s more or less “immune” to Kaneki right now (so to speak) is also definitely a reason why I’m still particularly fond of him. 🙂

Diedrich (Kuroshitsuji): I initially was so meh about him because he appeared for, like, ten pages until the GW arc and yet the fandom was crazy about him, mainly because of the popular ship with Vincent which just made me cringe even more, since VinDee is one of my (extremely rare) NOTPs.

But then he saved the GW arc so I fell in love in ch101, even more so when a part of his previous fans turned their back on him upon discovering what he now looked like in his late 30s, which was total hypocrisy. Btw, I totally miss him :3

Serpico (Berserk): He unexpectedly grew on me over the first arcs with him and now he’s one of my absolutely favorite characters. He started being interesting from the moment he showed he was different from the rest of Farnese’s knights + that he was a skilled fighter, which was early after meeting him, but I think it’s hard to grasp how deep and complex he really is before his flashback of vol 22. 

Now, Roderick’s character becoming more prominent in the group/plot led to Serpico starting to act a little creepy, which is why he’s probably the next one whose issues and development will be tackled on, but he’s still my favorite character with Guts, Casca and Puck. 

the character you relate to the most:

Ciel (Kuroshitsuji) & Takizawa (TG) for the same reason, which has to do with understanding what a nasty inferiority complex feels like. 

There is no one in Berserk I directly relate to, tho’ (then again it’s probably a good thing considering how intensely fucked up the story is). :3

the character you’d slap (currently):

Amon (TG): don’t get me wrong, I love him, but it’s highly past the time to wake up and to stop hiding from the reality of these last 4 years. Fortunately (for me), Donato is on his way and so is Takizawa (probably), so hopefully I won’t need to because realization should be happening soon. 😀 

real!Ciel (Kuroshitsuji): ‘cause he’s the reason Agni was killed, that Soma and Lizzie are crying, that Ed is distraught and that our!Ciel is going to pass out once he’s finished reminiscing, without mentioning that he possibly was involved with his own parents’ murder, so I can’t forgive him.
At the same time, he died horribly and he’s not directly responsible for his own revival, so I’ll have to settle for whoever did this instead and for now, since we still lack enough hints about the mastermind, I’ll go for Bravat. 

Griffith (Berserk): Rickert’s holy gesture of vol 38 still is one of the most absolute badass moments of the entire series and I want to see it happening again, preferably more than once.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s because Griffith is a fabulously written character who makes for an amazing villain that any Berserk fan has the right to write this. xD

three favorite characters (in order of preference):

The questions didn’t specify if I had to give my Top 3, so I chose not to:

• Takizawa, Ayato, Nico (TG)
• Tanaka,

  Claudia, Lau (Kuroshitsuji)

• Serpico,

  Puck, Silat (Berserk)

In general, there is hardly ever a character I truly can’t stand, unless they’re precisely written not to be likable (Griffith from Berserk for example) and it’s always hard to rank favorite characters anyway, so I picked from all the characters I truly enjoy. 

a character you liked at first but don’t anymore:

As I said, it’s rare for me to end up really disliking anyone but… -_-

Arima (TG): sorry :// because I tried to like him again after noticing that I was becoming more and more “meh” about his character, really I did (knowing that I was never his biggest fan either), but the more we delve into the truth, the more I can’t stop rolling my eyes at everything that he knew and chose

(not)

to do.

I mean, he’s obviously not the only character to make bad decisions (*waves at Kaneki*) and his life was really sad, so I don’t dislike or blame him, but it’s as if everything we now learn regarding him is meant to be taken with an ironic smile (omakes++) and as such I’m not willing to try understanding him anymore. 

Grell (Kuroshitsuji): I could have said Ronald for the same reason, which is mostly because of the fandom’s huge infatuation (and thus, huge bias) with both of them (with Grell in particular though). It’s actually extremely stiffling with the constant discourse, especially when Grell’s character is not above criticism, just like anyone else.

So I won’t expand, but I’m now mostly indifferent with whatever Grell does or says and same regarding their biggest fans. 

Sonia (Berserk): I think (?) that I liked her when I first read the series but honestly I can’t really stand her anymore. I don’t know why precisely, but I wonder if it wouldn’t be because she’s actually a true psychic/medium which is rare enough and yet, despite this, she’s one of Griffith’s most faithful followers.

I mean, I can’t blame her because she’s a kid, she went through a lot and Femto is beyond powerful, but I don’t know if it is that she can’t see behind the appearances or that she won’t because she doesn’t want to let the dream go. Either way, I’m not a fan even if I seem to recall liking her initially. 

three otps (amongst others):

• Kaneki/Touka (TG) 
• Alexis/Frances (Kuroshitsuji)
• Gutsca (Berserk)
