Mr. DJ. Grooves!!! >:3
every question! (Or at least every question you feel like answering! you don't actually have to answer every question, it is up to you. I am just a chaotic bean)
And for the question that's a freebie: would you take mr grooves to waffle house? and if so....waht does he order.... :] 💖
omg catt okai. (meme)
Why do you like or dislike this character?
i like grooves because he has a lot of complexity to his character. i like that he's not JUST outwardly nice and has selfish qualities to him. it's just very interesting to talk about and explore. though i also love that he's completely earnest in his behavior too.
Favorite canon thing about this character?
i think it's probably how he was voice acted that REALLY makes me like his character and find it to be effective. his VA has a lot of range and portrays his character very well.
Least favorite canon thing about this character?
i always agonize about this but i wish he got more of a role in the game beyond his chapter. especially because if you choose conductor as the winner, grooves' character is basically forgotten from there on out. i just wish he at least had more of a presence in the finale of the game, seeing as all the other characters get something to say but he didn't. (except cut dialogue lines that DON'T count at all :////) also more grooves merch please gfb.
If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?
an animated series for a hat in time would be so cool i think and if we could have little animations related to each character that'd be so awesome.
What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?
one of the songs i relate to grooves is 'two evils' by bastille and 'rhythm of the night' by corona. two evils i feel describes grooves and conductor's relationship very well and rhythm of the night is another one that i feel suits him on vibe (tho i also like to relate the bastille cover as well, if on the basis that that ver implies enduring the same thing every day after day and the whole thing driving someone a bit mad)
What's something you have in common with this character?
we both love music, musicals and love to dance!
What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?
i absolutely love when people explore his character and also make content of him being close to the kids. i love grandpa grooves content with my whole heart. i also like when people create content that explores his feelings on everything that has happened to him.
What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?
treats him as less important or interesting than conductor and also when people's only perception of his character is when all people have to say about him is just "he's gay." like it's fine of course to explore his sexuality when exploring his character but i just don't like when that's ALL people have to say about him. and him being an afterthought to every other character. 😔
Could you be roommates with this character?
as much as i love him, probably not. i just feel like he might be too loud at times or a bit overbearing and that might be a bit off-putting. i can admire him from a distance tho.
Could you be best friends with this character?
in my mind i already am lol.
Would you date this character?
i joke about it and like to act silly about it but probably not lol. unless we're like qpr's then maybe.
What's a headcanon you have for this character?
i have shared many headcanon's but probably my favorite one is him having moments where him and conductor just randomly get along and all seems to go well between them before going back to normal. i jsut think it's amusing.
What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?
😎🥺 because it reminds me of that meme where it's a text convo like 'i don't miss you 😎' then another text 'take off ur sunglasses' and then a message with '🥺' it's just funny to me. also grooves canonically has tiny beady eyes to it's suiting to me. tho i also see him to be the type to always send smilies with his messages and spam heart emojis.
Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.
i don't really know how to describe his style but i call it like 'disco-punk' not sure if that's what it's called and maybe someone more aquainted with fashion could tell me better but that's always how i've kinda seen it. also glam rock a little bit it think?
What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)
i don't really have a favorite ship for him but i think discotrain is okay. i used to like it more in the past but now i'm just kinda alright with it ig? like i don't hate it but it's a cute pairing and everything.
What's your least favorite ship for this character?
i don't really understand the appeal in snatcher x grooves and maybe someone can enlighten me on that but i just don't see it. no hate to ppl who like it though it's just not for me.
What's a ship for this character you don't hate but it's not your favorite that you're fine with?
there isn't really many grooves ships to be honest? so i can't really say much on that. once i saw like. walrus captain and him and that could be cute ig???? but i don't know how it would work exactly and i'm not really invested in it.
How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?
i love love love love how he cares about his moon penguins it warms my heart so much. they care about each other sm. i also adore his relationship with the kids it's just super sweet!!!!
How about a relationship they have in canon that you don't like?
can't really say since he doesn't really interact with many of the characters beyond his chapter.....
Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?
DEFINITELY EMPRESS AND I WILL DIE ON THAT HILL. also i can see him and cooking cat being VERY close :]
If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?
i like to describe his actions in a certain flared and outwardly perfect way while him being extremely flawed. i also like exploring his thoughts and feelings on things. what i don't like is trying to come up with things he would say sometimes as sometimes i feel like i don't know exactly how he'd express them. technical stuff related to his job is also hard for me too but i try my best lmao.
If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to this character? Something you don't like?
i kinda mentioned it before but things that go in-depth with his character are my favorite. something i don't like is him not being given the same complexity as other characters (which is a common issue) and exclusively to discotrain stuff is when people just treat him like an accessory to conductor and never explore him beyond surface level. i haven't read much fic but i always seen this as a problem.
What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?
uhhhhh i can't really say atm? grooves is rather unique to me so it's hard for me to compare him to other characters. at least in the fandoms i'm a part of there's no characters i could really compare him to? i have seen others draw parallels to him and other characters but most the time it's characters i'm unfamiliar with.
What was your first impression of this character? How about now?
to be honest, when i was playing hattytime for the first time, i didn't think all that much of him. originally i did kinda prefer conductor but not in a like 'he's better' way but more like conductor's personality is really strong and stood out more initially.
having conversations with people and seeing a lot of fan content about grooves made me realize that FUCK he's a really good character and then i started looking at canon content with a whole new light and suddenly my favorite character was dj grooves.
Favorite picture of this character?
this concept art i love it a lot!!!
FREEBIE QUESTION: would you take mr grooves to waffle house? and if so....waht does he order.... :] 💖
yeas i would.... though i haven't been there in a while so i'm not super familiar with the menu, it think he'd get a couple waffles with some syrup and whipped cream and maybe a hashbrowns bowl and some bacon. maybe some eggs too.... whatever his little heart desires LOL.
Hii~ I just wanted to stop by and say I read your valentines fic about Saeyoung and MC and I LOVED IT. It was so cute and sweet ;-; and your writing is very good!! 💖🍦Have a great day!! :D
Oh! Thank you so much!! ♥ ♥ Sorry for the late reply to this ask, I genuinely thought I had answered it already ^^;;;
