Hey guys! P.M. here, I just wanted to talk about what inspired yesterday’s prompt~!
Andreas is one of my favorite side characters to write. He’s introduced in Season 2 of Faded -spoilers- as Jude’s ex bf when they were teenagers. He’s simply a soft boy and disaster gay.
Since he’s pretty sentimental I think he still feels guilty about how things ended with Jude, but since so much time had passed, I thought it was about that time he starts finding someone new~!
If you notice the bar’s called Hei Wuya, or Black Crow in Chinese. Something that influenced Andreas’ character was my love for Vocaloid music, and at the time I deep-dived into Vsinger (Chinese Vocaloid) and Yuezheng Longya which became my internal voice for him with songs like In Your Breath and The Vanished City (the name of the cafe he sings at lol).
As for Black Crow, in Japanese thats Kuroi Karasu or the name of these two Utauloids I found that inspired this next chapter of Andreas’ life, Karasu Yuutsukoe and Kuro Bousuku. Kuro and Karasu’s look and sound inspired Kosuke and Andreas respectively. With their duet covers like Uchiha Fireworks and even Symphony
Plus I feel Andreas’ character growth and internal conflict is definitely fueled by Karasu’s covers of Heartbreak and ERROR.
Karasu is actually @revolocities Utau! And they often use Kuro on their channel so, thank you for bringing them into existence lol
