Haha, could I ask for 3, 7, 15, and 27? :)
3. What loves do you tend to write about? Agape (unconditional, spiritual love), Eros (romantic, passionate love), Philia (affectionate, platonic love), Philautia (self-love), Storge (familial love), Pragma (enduring love like between long-married couples), Ludus (playful love, infatuation you feel during the “honeymoon period”), and Mania (obsessive love that leads to madness and jealousy)
I like to think I hit all of them, but that’s probably not the case haha. I guess the main ones that I think I have focused on are: Eros, Philia, Pragma, Ludus and Mania
7. Favorite description in your wip? (If asked more than once, respond with a new piece each time)
Ngl, this is my absolute fav, I still think back on it with a pleased grin. It’s from chapter 9, so coming up next week!
It was going to rain. He could taste it in the air. The gray clouds above him had gathered together so thickly, there was hardly a piece of sky that was not covered. Thunder rolled in the distance and faint flashes of lightning soon followed, cracking the ominous veil of darkness promisingly.
However, by the time Yamantaka arrived at the front entrance of the apartment complex, the first splatter of rain had yet to come. He wasn’t sure how much time passed as he stood there, his bare feet still on the concrete, his neck craned up as he silently observed the sky.
Finally, it came. A small drop of water fell, quickly and suddenly, the movement almost invisible.
Yamantaka blinked then lifted the hand not wrapped around his coffee and patiently waited for the next. This time, it hit his palm. One, then another. He watched as the lonely streets around him, as blank as a canvas, became littered with droplets that darkened its surface. The rain was much colder than the ground was. It fell atop of his skin like sharp shards of ice that shattered and bounced as it spread across the surface of his palm. He closed his hand as if the gesture could keep the rain within its confines, but it ran down the sides of his skin, unobtainable.
15. Why physical quirks do your characters tend to have? Eyebrow raising, picking nails, biting lips, pacing, crossing arms, etc.
Eyebrow raising definitely. Scrunching up their nose, especially if it’s Renzou who is very expressive when he wants to be. Speaking of which, canonically, he does this thing where he sticks out his tongue sometimes, so I try to keep that in mind! Does holding hands count? lmao ‘cause Rin and Ryuuji can’t seem to stop. That’s default mode for them.
27. Do you have playlists for your wip? What are some of the songs in it?
I am horrible at making my own playlists; luckily for me, @shiroufujimoto is very good at this. All I have to say is “I need this vibe” and he will have my back <3
Absolute fav songs that are high on my playlist and I can only think of them in relation to these scenes/stories.
Somewhere Only We Know by Lily Allen - Chapter 55
A Thousand Years by Christina Perri - Chapter 58
Like Real People Do by Hozier - Chapter 60
Love Anyway by Kina Grannis - Chapter 13 <3
Also please listen to: Intertwined by dodie
Don’t actually have a song for a certain scene or chapter, but one I really like the vibe of is Welcome to Wonderland by Anson Seabra
This one is also just for the vibes: Anybody Else by JP Saxe
