Noticed a bit of frame drops in Multi-Live. I hope that's because I was in Low Battery Mode.

Day 21/30: Most Relatable Character

THIS.

I have been waiting patiently to write about this ever since I realised who the character was. The more I thought, the more I realised I had in common. This is a long one, so:

Yes, this is a Sayo card but I'm talking about Hina here. I HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON WITH HINA. So much that I'm splitting this into two parts.

1: Personality and Characteristics

I have two kinda distinct personalities and change between them so seamlessly that I'm not even sure which one I am when I'm by myself. I will be talking about me when most comfortable, mainly around true friends.

If you happened to be one of my close friends IRL, congrats. I will never leave you alone, I will never shut up and I will say what you may believe to be 'random' considering the situation (which it usually is). I don't care how my friends view me because we're 'close friends' which is why I will usually speak whatever's on my mind. I notice your eyebrows? I'll say something about them, on the spot. The entire room could be quiet and I would still just say it, provided everyone else in the room is someone I'm comfortable with. Pretty similar to Hina's honest speaking. If something isn't interesting or fun (and not important), I'll probably blank out. I usually speak my mind because it's fun to just talk whatever random things are in your mind. Fun is fun for a reason. If I'm not having fun, what's the point? If it's not interesting (and not important), what's the point?

While I wouldn't call myself a 'genius', I do understand things pretty quickly and usually faster than most people. Also, if something merits a spot in my long-term memory, good or bad, it won't leave, ever.

Astronomy Club. I like stars. End of.

Oh and I used to hate carrots as a kid.

2: Relationship with Sayo

And this is why I needed art of both Hina and Sayo. I have an older brother who's 4/5 years older than me. If you're reading this, hey you should have told me you liked Bandori.

Uh anyway, back when we were kids, whenever we'd get bored (whether out or in the house), we'd find things to do so that we weren't bored. Ton of fun. But as we got older, my brother wouldn't want to do those things with me like mess around or play games which made me super sad because it felt like he didn't want to asociate with me anymore. I was just a kid growing up who wanted to spend time with his brother and I couldn't do that anymore. Nowadays, I do understand why he did distance himself back then as when you grow up, you feel like you're too old to mess around. Not to mention the school work he probably had at the time. I think he's realised that you're never too old to have fun with people as present day, we do mess around at times during the few times when we go out. I'm much less of an annoying kid and respect his space if he doesn't want to play along but I would never be opposed to spend time with him. Hina is always picking up hobbies just to spend time with her sister, who was always trying to distance herself (until Garupa).

Actually, I have an interesting story to tell. Remember Episode 24 'Twin Rhythm' from Garupa PICO? The one where Hina and Sayo are telepathically connected to each other? (Well Sayo from Hina but-) A couple of years ago, I would watch an anime show to completion then take a 'break' (like a week maybe?) then start a new show. My brother, who also watches anime, told me about MyAnimeList and some stories about him and his friends regarding anime. He told me to get it and I said that I'd think about it. Fast forward to 2018, my username goes through some changes until I reached the name 'Kaiton' and I, along with some of my friends, make an MAL account. Some weeks later and I remember about my brother and ask him what his username is so that I could add him as a friend. He texts me back with his username and what's the first 3 letters I see? 'Ton'. The same 3 letters present at the end of MY username. I was thinking 'Woah we share a part of our usernames together!" and tell him about his. He dismissed it (I think) entirely but I still think it's really cool that we somehow share parts of our usernames. I never knew his username before and his other usernames for other stuff were always joke things. I never understood why I chose to put 'ton' in my username (which at the time was 'Kaiserton') so maybe this is why? Also cool that his 'Ton' is at the start while mine is at the end, like how Hina's and Sayo's names reference day and night (except ours is the wrong way around but it counts, okay?).

6 Days until EN Garupa Anniversary!

If you manage to find my brother online in any way, please respect his privacy and DO NOT CONTACT/INTERACT HIM AT ALL. I've already stated too much info about him without telling him and the last thing I want is for a stranger to start talking to him. If you find me, however, first just state that you know me from BanPa and that'd make my day instantly. Just not to my brother because I'm the one who's gonna get a lecture about it and this.
