@squorkal tumblr kept having processing errors when answering these so I'll answer them here!
7. Earbuds or Headphones?
You know it's funny, I wear earbuds at work because they're easy to shove in my pocket, and headphones at my computer desk, but I have yet to own a pair that's actually comfortable for extended use!
I would honestly prefer a set of wireless headphones that would allow me to hear things while I'm listening to music (I always keep the volume low enough that I can hear things around me)
62. Seven characters you relate to?
Oooo starting off with a good one!
We'll start at number one: Miles "Tails" Prower! I remember the day I chose him as my favorite and the specific reason why. Namely I was reading through a game manual (for sonic heroes if memory serves). I happened to be around a similar age, I was labeled as the "smart" kid in a lot of my school life even then, and I was even bullied quite extensively. With hindsight and a lot more of an understanding of myself and Tails, I see even more similarities in terms of personality.
Here's the rest I find myself relating to, in no particular order.
Sans and Papyrus (Undertale): my siblings have compared me to both on many occaisions and honestly I can see why. I relate to Papyrus's yearning for greater purpose, and I can be very talkative without saying a whole lot in the same way. And sans, man, I relate to being both hard working and lazy at once. Plus, the PUNS!
Sokka (Avatar: The Last Airbender): I once asked one of my sisters what kind of bender she thought I'd be, and she straight up said "I don't think you'd be a bender so much as you'd be Sokka" and like. I feel offended how right she is xD I can be very handy on many occaisions, and my mind when it's working right can absolutely handle some complex tasks. Like Sokka, though, I tend to feel vastly overshadowed by people more capable than me. In particular, that moment in the show where Sokka went seeking tutelage under Piandao mirrors something I'm desperate for in my own life: guidance for and mastery of a craft.
I'd throw Zuko in too but honestly I see more of who I once was in Zuko's struggle, even if I do still have some stuff to work through.
Oh man uh I'm struggling to think up the next 3 for some reason even though I know for sure I have more characters I relate to!
I think I'm going to have to unironically put Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto) here as well, as I very much relate to how much it sucks being an outcast among your peers. This applies especially to the early arcs with him trying desparately to prove himself in the eyes of his squad, and his village as a whole!
Uhhhh beyond that my mind is drawing a blank. I know I've got more characters that I related to but they didn't come to mind with enough clarity!
Thanks for this though! This was illuminating to type out!
