this space is dedicated to getting a general read on my influencial media/things that make me happy I guess??? Again, I am a very busy person and it kinda feels nice to have some sort of log out there for it all.
This isnt as refined as it could be at the moment
NOTABLE FAVORITE CHARACTERS / ..KIN PAGE
As for kinning itself, my reasoning for partaking in it ultimately falls upon escapism / expression. These things are often widely recognizable and easy to "identify" myself with. It's also just silly and fun for me. That'll be all I care to explain openly. :pALSO, THESE ARENT ALL "KINS" but comfort characters, faves, and things I resonate with in general?? IDK. Everything here is very special to me lol
LAST UPDATED 10/23/2025 - SORT OF
FAVE OF THE WEEK? MONTH? WHO KNOWS
THIS HONOR GOES TO... HIGGS MONAGHAN FROM DEATH STRANDING! OH FUCK!
This mf is weird (deragatory) and gay. And also super expressive/charismatic which is a fun change of pace for the game. He also has a southern accent which is funny despite his vibe/look and I get a gender-fucky read of this guy and resonate with him on a few levels.He had a notably abusive childhood and was indicated to be manipulated by another party in the first game to influence the worst parts of himself. Ultimately he is incredibly flawed and there's a few tragic aspects to him, he's easy to (reasonably) hate and also easy to like depending on who you are.
PRIMARY CHARACTERS IDK
[the "me fr" or "big fave" tier or whatever. I Really Like them]
this is so fucking goofy looking
LESS SIGNIFICANT BUT STILL WORTHY OF SHOWING
(adding more when I CAN. Most of these are obscure I know)
INFLUENTIAL MOTIFS:
REOCCURRING THEMES
• revival, repeated revival, reincarnation• being a living “weapon”• power-seeking, superiority, danger, aggression, anxiety, narcissism, losing oneself.• body horror• characters painted as ugly/evil etc but are actually misunderstood or could use more support than what they’ve been shown in life uh uh uh [these are most of my embarrassing unlisted kins]• All the above with some sort of tragic aspect mixed in is a plus• t h e b i g o n e
DESIGN/VISUAL SPECIFIC
• b e a s t s• Corpse paint? “Scary face?”• weirdcore/dereality/SURREALISM!!• surreal/alien/demonic/etheral aesthetics (angelic and demonic-type stuff, but both in a scary sense)• lightning, storms, strange skies• machines, sirens• snakes, eels, scary bugs, scary or stupid-looking animals/bugs/birds in general• dragons, mythological / powerful creatures and weird monsters in general• acrocanthosaurus, dilophosaurus, marrella, many other extinct animals.
