Aussie question time: when I find out an idol is American/Canadian, their image in my mind completely changes because now itās like āOh I know exactly who you are, I grew up with your type around meā there are subtleties that Iām going to understand that others might not. So with all that said, Iāve been curious about what thatās like (if you experience it) w the skz aussies (throw in a lily if youāre feeling it -v-) š¤
this is wayyyyyy too long so I'm putting it under a read more- also disclaimer: i dont know these guys and these are just my opinions, dont take em too srs <3
Hmmmm... Well I guess I'll start with Felix- I've said it before a bunch but the whole "Felix is a tiny uwuw baby sweet summerchild who is just such a baby" etc. etc. has made me laugh from the get go- because Yep! he is incredibly sensitive and sweet natured and kind and he cries a lot- 100% that is true. Dont think I'm saying it's not. But like. He also grew up in western sydney, he grew up in a area that if you google it one of the first suggestions is "is it safe" but then at the same time he went to private catholic school im pretty sure. and i saw pics from back then that he'd posted back in the day of cool little felix with his gold watch and his fade and all his little homeboys looking rowdy on the train- I know that kid and while that kid can also be sweet and sensitive, he's not incapable and hes not a baby. Good recent example was when he went on that Jewel box show with the gay dudes and people were acting like he was *so uncomfortable* and sooooo out of his element and so this and so that- theres gay dudes all over sydney, there's gay dudes all over australian media- the idea felix couldnt handle that was simply laughable to me- but it kinda shows how many outside perceptions of him still very much fall into that vaguely infantalizing thing. Like when he was the one who was happy to go up to adam levine and dj snake in that skz talker while the other boys were much more shy? that didnt shock me at all. felix went to korea as a whole teenager laregly against his parent wishes- he's actually quite an outgoing and brave guy. Outgoing guys can still be sweeties, though- one doesn't negate the other.
One other aspect of Felix i think a lot of fans just gloss over but is easily noticeable by me is that he can kindaaaaaa be ... a lil bitchy? like he's never ever mean or cruel dont get me wrong- but he has a slight bitchy streak, he rolls his eyes AND he's actually much more sarcastic than people bring up? Again- he does it a lot with Chan and that doesnt shock me- they both are aussie boys, Chan will get it and I think Felix can very much be himself with Chan, he doesn't necessarily feel the need to put up an extra air of like... Sweetie boy-ness? bc when he calls chan a cunt on live chan just laughs and goes OI!! so yuh the main thing with felix is while i do think hes a little sweet guy, ive never from the get go had a hard time seeing him outside of that box, too. Also maybe that's a lil bit aussie humour slipping under the radar here or there š¤
Chan to me from the get go too was pretty much like. Prototypical overachieving aussie Good Boy. Like, i had a drafted post i never posted bc it was too niche- but it was essentially about how he speaks about sports and the like, and it just said "We get it. You went to zone carnival" which was the sporting event that the kids who got gold or 1st place were sent to. If you went to zone, you were the Successful kid. I think these days most fans perceive him as... a bit of a goofy guy? but I have gone through the archives and i have seen the comments from people talking about how chans such a bad boy- thats shit is so funny to me bc you can show me every iteration of chan and I'd never, ever think he's a bad boy. Like he wishes he was a bad boy, he kinda cosplays a bad boy- even him referencing swearing bc of his australianess and shit over the years makes me giggle a little bc i feel like felix def 100% swears all the time but he doesnt like Smirk about it too much? he doesnt really bring it up? things like that stand out, it to me feels very like Oh yeah I'm this naughty Aussie boy who swears hehe and then all the australians are like ? Girl we all do huh lmao
Otherwise, I dont have as much to say about chan as i do about felix, funnily. Like idk people might perceive differently to me, but nothing too far off? I will say that given Chan's success and the fact he was seemingly a very well achieving kid too (maybe not debuting for such a long time is part of this) he is WAY more humble than I'd expect. Like not to besmirch Australian men but a lot of them can be really loud and cocky, especially the famous successful ones (any sport star) it's almost encouraged to be like that if you're a dude (but only to a certain degree, anything beyond a certain point and you'll be roasted lol) So I have to give credit where it's due and say that Chan *Seemingly does have a very good nature and I appreciate that about him! Its probably why I like him so much bc he actually very much doesn't give off those vibes- he doesn't seem like that overly macho cocky bloke I know very well. So that makes him good fun for me- he's very successful and he's confident and yet he doesn't activate any of my bitch instincts- thats impressive! I don't know him, so I'll never know for sure of course, i feel like i need to make that disclaimer but still I do believe he has a good heart, and he tries so hard! and I appreciate that.
Lily is weirdly like Chan. like she's hilariously like chan tbh- I wonder how they really get along sometimes bc I feel like they might look at each other and be like Hm... we the same............ ? Lmao I will say though, lily is a bit out of pocket and half of that I believe is her personality but half of it is just.... I think she's just australian š like i cant lie you get me as a teenager to early 20 something and put me on a live and I can promise I would be saying as much ?? shit. Like, I do think Australians are a little loud and not necessarily always.... tactful (again Not everyone, but yk.) lily certainly fits that bill to a T. I appreciate that regardless of her idolhood she does still say things that maybe she shouldn't, she shrugs off a shoplifting confession, she says she'd murder someone if she had to, she bought and wore a shirt that fans quickly tracked down and found out all the proceeds were going to Palestine- she would have known what that suggested. she clearly had this goal of being an idol since she was a baby, like literal baby but she hasn't sacrificed her broader personality, even the parts that could potentially be off-putting to those idol fans that expect perfection and nothing else. I appreciate that in her! and I hope she never loses her little weird girl spark bc it does make her very dynamic! Her slightly gruff aussie girlness is very fun for me to see in the idolsphere bc it def feels out of place, but in a refreshing way...
so yeah. Idk if this was sensical, I was making dinner so I put my phone down a bunch and it's probably disjointed but thats my opinion... my thoughts, my ideas! Idk my take on them. Thanks for asking š«”

i've always wondered have you ever given the y/n in your fics a personality description? like everything about her just ties the whole story together yet the reader can actually, embody her in some way?? that's one of the things that makes your writing so enjoyable to read and i've always wondered if you see yourself in her when u write ;
IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN IT BUT i hope u know what i mean šš
love u loads btw you're like my comfort writer as we speak
GASP i have neverrr actually, i dont think iāve formally sat down n really given any of my characters personality descriptions i just kinda have a vibe of them in my head haha but this has intrigued me š¤ I KINDA WANNA MAKE EM NOW!!! (i hope this is what u mean by character descriptions btw hahah)
kickoff reader.
i think she is a little self conscious at times, easily affected by things going on in her life, definitely tries to bite off more than she can chew, and sheās an anxious avoidant until she canāt take it anymore and becomes overtly confrontational instead alskdjdh i think this can be seen in the way she confesses to gojo, in her interactions w kai, and then also her turning down the newsletter job before she realized it was actually a good opportunity, etc etc. when i write for her, i kinda wanna give the vibe of tired college student that has a lot going on in her head n in her heart, but sheās slowly starting to learn to live again and is looking forward to life after college (aka me all of my senior year loool) i think she has a pretty neutral personality overall :0
in holy matriphony reader.
omg i havenāt written much for ihm reader yet but i already ADORE her so so so much based on what iāve got planned for the series, and i think i understand her the most of the ocās iāve made. she is someone that gets crazy tunnel vision, can only really focus on one thing at a time, often neglects her other responsibilities if it means getting The Main One done, she is hella jaded because of all the financial stress, work stress and caretaking stress which means she doesnāt have much of a filter anymore, sheās very cynical and pessimistic and easily irritated and prideful BUTā¦..deep down sheās a huge softie and is actually very self aware of her flaws n just really wants to get better but she just canāt find a moment to breatheā¦im gonna enjoy writing for her bc i think sheāll come off irrational and a bit over the top at times, but in those soft moments, sheāll be very down to earth :)
in another life reader.
aww i havenāt had too much written for ial reader yet, but in my head i picture her as a veeeery soft spoken, sweet natured woman in her older age (sheās engaged to nanami, who i imagine has mellowed her out in comparison to when she dated bad boy choso lol), idk i think sheās kind of basic š not that thatās a bad thing at all, i kinda wanted that dynamic of crazy rock star lifestyle choso mixed w simple lifestyle reader (for when they meet again later in life). when she was younger, she was highly impressionable, often thought she was more mature than she actually was, n loves veeeerryy deeply, so much so to where old scars hurt even after years and years. i think she always tries to do the right thing, but bc of her conflicting emotions, she has the capacity to cause a lot of hurt
AHH idk this is just the vibe i get from them or try to encapsulate while i write them, and i also totally think readers can have diff interpretations of them than me and still be accurate about it (idk as the author i donāt feel like i even know everything ab my own stories sldkdjdh at times i feel some of my readers know more than me haha)
i think kickoff reader is the most confusing in my head, but i like it that way because i suppose sheās the youngest and sheās in college and it makes sense for her since sheās figuring herself out
i definitely do see myself in all of them!! i have certain attributes i share n some that i donāt. for example i donāt think iām as brave as kickoff reader (to pursue passions or confess to a boy so brazenly or slap tf outta someone at a bar LOL) and i donāt think iām as crass or no-filter as ihm reader for example, but i definitely relate to certain aspects like the tunnel vision, anxious avoidance, and stuff like that!! but i still try to make them their own characters i suppose, but it really depends on how i want their personalities to mesh w the love interest as well
GOSH THIS IS A LONG FUCKIN ANSWER MY BAD i was just so intrigued by this ask xD iām soooo sososoossooo happy to be your comfort writer and that you enjoy my works š„ŗšyou guys keep my passion alive n iām always so grateful for you all <33 have a wonderful day/night!! š§āāļøāØilyy

58. How many hobbies have they attempted to have over their lifetime? Is there a common theme?
For whomever you please! Multiples of 'em if you like! Give us the hobby lore!
>:3!!!!!! Rolling this ask around my enclosure like a pumpkin full of ground beef! So I actually covered Mochiieās hobbies earlier today- [Here] so Iāll cover some others Ć¹wĆŗ! (Full of mischief)
Ishiāliās hobbies are messy because of his origins: they enjoyed solving Sudokuās, and playing games, which Iād count as hobbies, but in Eorzea his old hobbies donāt hold up, cosā¦. Nobody makes Sudoku puzzlesā¦ and Games straight up donāt exist, to my knowledge. But he DOES learn to haggle and trade and help run business numbers. He actually genuinely enjoys math (itās why he picks up Arcanist XD) ā¦.. hm.. He picks up painting, after visiting the First, and subsequently Elpis, and possibly photography (Me and Zombiesock are toying with creation magic making essentially a Sheikah Slate, because due to how we shook out events Ishi is the only one of the cadre of WoLās to actually be able to go to Elpis and they get frustrated at an inability to show it to everyone else, lmao.) ā¦ Thereās not much of a common theme, they just like Learning stuff, especially if it can be applied to helping the team, (like Astrology, which is picked up, but kind of as a side gig to everything else thatās going on.) ā¦ and honestly it leans heavily into Magic, because itās unique and interesting even if thereās a constant battle to keep up enough Mana to use it lmfao.
Tuesday likes reading (History, Cookbooks, Travel Guides, YA Short Story Romance), and cooking, even if he canāt likeā¦ taste the food he makes for some time (not sure when he gets taste but ah! He shall someday :) ) which means heās always in need of taste testers- but not Chuu. Who is a walking nightmare for food. (If itās not easily eaten one handed in some fashion sheās not eating it. Sheās been TRYING to care more about what her food tastes like but mostly the fact that sheās gaining weight and eating 3x a day + snacks is an improvement. She LIKES archon loaf. Anyways-) he likes experimenting with textures and smells and spices, so finding people that will eat it and provide feedback is. Nice. He also finds lots of joy in little repeating tasks like, spinning/weaving, and learning to make his own fabrics and garments opens up a whole other world. Heās already out gathering stuff, or shopping, so. Making clothes is itās own sort of rewarding (and it makes Keathan. So excited, actually. That Tuesday is creating something. For himself???) ā¦ I think most of his hobbies stem from a desire to. Find? Heās grasping for what it means to be an Individual and trying stuff and customizing himself in little ways.
š¤ Hobby loreā¦ Iām tryna think if I got anything else interesting knocking around up here. Oh!
Tangy used to have a hobby doing whittling, nothing too crazy, cos she was v small, but it was practice using a knife so she could be more confident later in life when sheād need to skin+ clean game, yāknow. ā¦. aaaand then it got lost in the haze of everything Pre 1.0, so she hasnāt done it since, but I like to think if she picked up a little knife in NOT kitchen settings sheād feel some muscle memory kick in for it. Nowadays she likes bird watching, and sooometimes fishing, though thereās not much to catch outside the waking sands thatās suuuper worth eating, she catches lots of small fryā¦ and sometimes a sunburn. Right across the bridge of her snout. Dreadful. I like to think sometime between ARR and Heavensward she starts making little woven jewelry pieces- bracelets and hair ties mostly, but, it keeps her hands occupied and she can always unravel them again and do it over later. So long as she doesnāt give it to someone- if she catches someone leaving sheāll tie a woven bracelet around their wrist and very seriously tell them to come back in one piece. (š¤ Training in hand-to-hand doesnāt really feel like a hobby in Eorzea, where it can be your whole jobā¦. And sorta IS, her jobā¦ itās her main class anyways ahaha. So Iām gonna leave that one off.) ā¦. I donāt think thereās a common theme here aside from being time-fillers that a person can do anywhere without a lot of stuff to do it with š¤
[Oddly Specific ?ās for if you wanna take a crack at it!]
