Oh God. I'm so sorry that this wound up so ridiculously long. I tend to ramble.

"Different" as in it's a different tag and different as in I'll be using different fandoms than I did before.

Fandoms I'll be using this time around (fewer of you will know most of these, but that's okay!):
MySims (because it's funny)
Hatoful Boyfriend (because it's EXTRA funny!)
Hunter X Hunter
Ace Attorney
Arcade Spirits
Discord Murder Party-- okay, so, for this one, in order to avoid spoiling any characters, I'm going to call them by their titles.
(Featuring some other ones)

If you could hit any character without repercussions, who would it be?

MySims-- I was gonna say this doesn't have many punchable characters, and then I remembered Esma.
Hatoful Boyfriend-- Nishikikouji Tohri
Hunter X Hunter-- Shaiapouf
Ace Attorney-- Oof, it's hard to choose. I suppose I'll go with Game 1 Case 4 Perpetrator.
Arcade Spirits-- I won't say, because this character's existence is a spoiler, but if you've played the game, it's the VERY obvious choice (and the player character even CAN punch them!)
Discord Murder Party-- "The Fly." I understand why they are the way they are but I just can't help it.

What fandoms were you a part of that you aren't anymore?

Life is Strange, Doki Doki Literature Club, and Star Vs. The Forces of Evil. I have outright hostility for LiS and SV now, but I'm just kind of bored of DDLC. I learned practically everything I could and so it became hollow for me. My own fault, really. As for Life is Strange, LiS 2 is way better and deserves way more attention. I used to like the first game but it relies entirely on the player forming an attachment to a character I absolutely abhorred. And Star Vs. had the potential to be incredible... until Season 3 started. And it all went downhill from there.

Characters you would marry in an instant

MySims-- Okay this is a WEIRD question for me. Umm... I guess I would have to say Buddy.
Hatoful Boyfriend-- Ryouta and Nageki
Hunter X Hunter-- Leorio and Knuckle
Ace Attorney-- Well, Game 3 Case 2 defendant is taken, but I'd marry him. Also, Game 1 Case 3.
Arcade Spirits: Teo and Gavin. I would say Percy, but for some reason I've always had really platonic vibes from him.
Discord Murder Party: "The Dreamer" and "The Penitent." I adore them.

Are you likely to blush when a sex scene comes up or can you read/watch it with a straight face?

I generally avoid things like that simply because it's not my style, but if it happens to come up in something I'm watching, I'm not phased.

What is your favorite overused trope?

Childhood Friend. I don't need it to be friends to lovers, I just love childhood friends in general. Also, really unabashedly flirty characters (as long as they're not TOO perverted). I don't have an exact trope name for this— it's some combo of Chivalrous Pervert and The Cassanova.

Do you read fanfiction? If so, who are some of your favorite authors or fics?

Surprisingly, I don't read much of it. But fics by RavenFire2023 and strawberri-shortcake make my heart warm.

Name a character you wouldn't mind naming someone after.

That dumb, obsessive little part of me from like seven years ago is yelling, "Jay" from TDPRR. As for fandoms on this list, I would say "Iris" from Ace Attorney.

Do you prefer happy, bittersweet, or sad endings?

Honestly, it depends on the media. I love them all but you have to pick what's appropriate for the circumstances. I will say that sad endings are probably my least favorite, simply because it takes a lot of skill to make it work without making the player/viewer/reader feel too betrayed.

Do you like prequels?

If they're done well. If they're like Life is Strange: Before the Storm, then they're "hella" awful.

Characters that deserved WORSE?

MySims— Umm... this might be hard. The antagonist of MySims Agents has a pretty suitable fate in most circumstances, and I haven't played SkyHeroes or Racing. I guess... Queen Beverly in MySims Kingdom?
Hatoful Boyfriend— Shuu
Hunter X Hunter— Most of the Phantom Troupe (sorry not sorry)
Ace Attorney— The mastermind behind Game 2 Case 2's crime.
Arcade Spirits— Once again, the obvious choice.
Discord Murder Party— Well, a Season 4 is still in production, so I can't say. And honestly, I don't think anyone deserves anything that's happened to them.

Do you mind sex scenes or do you skip over them?

As long as it's short, I don't particularly care.

If you could change one ending to a book/show/game/etc, what would it be?

The first LiS. Even the game's fans say that it kind of goes against player agency and the tons of choices made along the way. I'd just make MORE possible endings.

Do you like sequels that are completely different with a new plot and characters or do you prefer they stay with the original cast and plot?

Same opinion as happy vs bittersweet vs sad endings.

Name a fandom, ship, or character that you love that others would send you hate-mail for liking.

MySims— nobody would EVER send hate-mail. So few people know about this fandom and there are like a hundred characters.
Hatoful Boyfriend— God, this is so knee-deep in spoiler territory I can't even say it. But I DO have one.
Hunter X Hunter— Honestly, it's more likely that I'd get hate-mail for NOT adoring the Phantom Troupe.
Ace Attorney— Like, any Phoenix ship that isn't Wrightworth? At the beginning, I shipped him and Mia a little. And I ship him with Game 3 Case 5 defendant. Don't get me wrong, Wrightworth is great, too, but jeez.
Arcade Spirits— Same case as MySims. But I do think QueenBee X Gavin is substantially cuter than Naomi X Gavin.
Discord Murder Party— I don't ship anything controversial.
OUTSIDE of this list, Gideon X Mabel. It's because of a really, really good Future AU animatic, okay?

Does it bother you if a character shares the name of someone you know well?

Not at all! In fact, one of the fandoms I love has a character with MY name!

Do you block people who like fandoms/characters/ships that you don't?

Only if they antagonize me.

Are there any tropes you wish were used less often?

All Girls Want Badboys. Badboys done poorly are insufferable, and many of them are.

Characters you want to wrap up in a blanket and tell them they're gonna be okay?

MySims— Wow, I picked a bad fandom for this tag. Umm... maybe Goth Boy. Because the mental image is hilarious. OH! Rusty and Daniel from MySims Kingdom!
Hatoful Boyfriend— Nageki, Ryouta, Yuuya, AND Sakuya.
Hunter X Hunter— Killua. Kurapika, but he'd never let me. Neither of them would let me.
Ace Attorney— Maya, Pearl, and Apollo.
Arcade Spirits— All of them, but especially Main Character-chan, Ashley, and Percy. The others seem like they're doing pretty alright.
Discord Murder Party— "The Penitent" and "The Lamb."

If you could be a part of any story, which would you want to tag along in?

Arcade Spirits. It is one of the physically safest fandoms of mine that I could possibly choose, and I would enjoy the world. To wish to be in Ace Attorney would be to demand tragedy. Same for DMP. You cannot exist in either world without intense pain.

Name a song that reminds you heavily of a specific fandom or character?

I love the song Two Birds by Regina Spektor, and it reminds me of Ace Attorney (because of a freaking incredible animatic). Ironically, it doesn't remind me of Hatoful Boyfriend, which is literally about birds. If I could draw/animate, I would make a Hatoful Boyfriend Two Birds animatic. Now that I think about it, it would really suit Hiyoko and Ryouta! Okay, now the song reminds me of both.

Bonus! Create your own question!

Okay! I've decided on "How did you discover this fandom?"
MySims— Ah, my first fandom! My parents got me two of the games for my seventh birthday. I played them like nonstop for weeks and promptly wanted the next two I found in stores.
Hatoful Boyfriend— I am a fan of something called "Undertale the Musical." I looked up the YouTube account of the voice actress for Toriel and she had a Let's Play on it. At first, I watched for the shits and giggles. And then the first route I watched made me cry. And I was hooked.
Hunter X Hunter— Nutella's recommendation. I figured I would check it out since his other recommendations have always been Dragon Ball and One Piece, the former of which I am mostly uninterested in and the latter of which is ridiculously long.
Ace Attorney— My cousin (who I largely credit for my geekiness in general) downloaded the trilogy onto a flash drive for me and I swiftly fell in love (even if I was a little too young to understand everything).
Arcade Spirits— My favorite YouTube channel, Internet Remix (a product of Undertale the Musical), played through this and I so loved everything about it. I even got my cousin to buy it for me and let me use his Steam (I paid him back though!)
Discord Murder Party— Also Internet Remix. They literally made it.
