1 & 13 — answered here!

2. how did you get into this franchise/fandom?

this one is probably boring, i don't really remember. i started reading the manga halfway through, and then followed its publishing from that point forward (both online and with physical, german copies i bought at the train station in my town). i'm fairly sure that was sometime before the headhunter arc? when things were still happy and mostly fine, is my point. it's a big part of how i learned english. while i haven't been very active within the fandom in a while, i've been with this franchise for a stupidly long time.

7. what’s the best thing about the canon you are writing?

pandora hearts is truly the best story i've read so far in my life. it's hard to describe just how many emotions it made me feel. it touches on so many topics that are so human that it's hard not to connect with it. it's a tragedy at its core, it's about hope and self-love and devotion and acceptance, it's about loss and grief and self-hatred and identity. i could go on about this for a while, but what encompasses it for me is the characters and their relationship to each other. not all of them could be fully explored, but i think pandora hearts did a great job at seeing the relationships integral to its plot to a fulfilling end.

8. what’s the worst thing about the canon you are writing?

is it too cliché to say the way break's story ended? this is very much connected to the way he was built in the first place (built different. built worse actually lmao). break's history makes it so that any development he could have happens at a very slow pace— he's set in his ways, he's stubborn, he's deeply traumatized. he simply didn't have the time to grow any more than he did. which, i realize, is part of the moral of his story. it fits the theme of the manga, though i do believe a different ending for him could've been possible and fit just as well. i almost brought up the tragedy aspect of the manga here, as well, but i think that's the point. it's a sad story, but it's supposed to be. it's cathartic. it wouldn't work as well if it was made any other way. all this to say, there's not a lot pandora hearts does badly, and i'm absolutely biased in my desire to see break alive and happy.
