Oz Vessalius (for the characters meme)
Hello, hello! You are hitting me in one of my soft spots with Oz. XD Here we go!
Favorite thing about them: I actually really like Oz as a protagonist? That sounds really strange but he is interesting… He’s dynamic and he may start off with that carefree, seemingly naïve persona but he’s starting to drop it and taking steps forward to accept all sides of himself- even those that may be unsavory. I also appreciate his tendency to flirt. XD
Least favorite thing about them: I know it’s a part of his growth but Oz’s tendency to internalize his feelings and just accept things sometimes irks me and that he is a bit oblivious to Alice and her feelings. I don’t really find any ‘flaws’that aren’t meant to be flaws honestly and I am already endeared to him because I may relate just a little too strongly.
Favorite line: “If… the moment I recognize my ‘weakness’…is where my strength ‘begins’…can I still…keep going forward from now on, I wonder? Even with all these mixed up feelings inside of me? Still… I don’t want to hang my head with shame in this light.”
Or: “Perhaps Break is a lot weaker than I always thought he was. However, I’m sure that he’s a whole lot stronger than he thinks he is.” I have a weakness and I am (not) sorry.
BrOTP: Break/Oz, Oz/Leo, and… this pains me to admit: Elliot/Oz is growing on me, but the Book Trio definitely makes me happy.
OTP: Alice/Oz,Oz/Sharon, and if they were still closer in age, I would say Gil/Oz but they are not, so, only in fanfiction where they are close in age. XD
nOTP: I mean, Oz is fifteen (if I remember correctly) so anyone who is over eighteen.
Random Headcanon: This is based on some chapter cover art but I headcanon that Oz can play violin. He might be a rusty since he abandoned his practice to study literature so he could win his father’s approval but he did learn and loved it. He and Gil used to have silly little duets together when they were younger with Oz playing his violin and Gil accompanying him on the flute.
Unpopular opinion: I haven’t ventured into the tag (It’s a rule I have: I won’t go into the tag until I finish at least one medium) so I’m not sure what an unpopular opinion would be- but maybe it’s the fact that I do not really care for Elliot because of his speech to Oz? I understand that he is a tough love type of person but it genuinely rubbed me the wrong way. I’m slowly warming up to him but eh (this has more to do with Elliot than Oz but he’s involved so I’m cheating. XD)
Song Iassociate with him: I Was Human (English Cover)- Rachie
Favorite picture of them: From the ones I took on my blog, I definitely have to say either this (because blushy Oz) or this one lmao
Thank you for the ask. I hope you have a lovely day/night!
