IMO the media we consume (especially in our formative years) can affect us and to some extent shape us. I was probably less than 10 when I saw Fruits Baskets and in hindsight, I do think I inadvertently took some of her personality traits (like trying to be overtly nice, even to people that didnt deserve it, trying to have a happy demeanor 24/7, etc). Idk, Im just curious if others went through this or something similar. It could also be physical traits, like hair color or fashion sense.

Also when I want to concentrate on something seriously xD

Ever since I watched Rozen Maiden, I've taken to wearing frilly dresses and sleeping in a box. D-does that seem... weird?

sometimes i'll accidentally trip inadvertently and land my hands on an unexpecting girl's breasts; learned behavior

If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

The tongue click is probably the only hobbit I've gained.

No, but I do tend to like characters that have my traits, fashion sense, etc. It’s good to have role models you can look up to and be inspired by their good traits though, even if they’re fictional characters.


Yeah, I totally agree especially on the fashion sense aspect.

Early in the pandemic while lockdown, I watched Gintama and I was like "Hey, I like Gintoki's personality (eg being lazy and chillax). Not before long, I realized I DON"T even need to TRY being like him (o˘◡˘o).

Ooooohh yes! I was thinking more the sound when the tongue is on the center of the roof of the mouth and not near the teeth (they sound different to me). I loooove Shiro's from Deadman Wonderlands "tch" sound!

Sometimes I run like the Armoured Titan when I have to get something far away. I also bite myself like Eren sometimes and I do the Killua neck strectch/hold-thing every once in a while.

But... I have been acting like Hououin Kyouma and Luffy lately... always talking about organization and GumGum punching people... help...

And I can’t even play volleyball normally without acting like the Haikyuu characters.

I've told this one before: tripping and grabbing the nearest pair of boobs. If I had a dollar for every time that has happened to me I'd have $2.50.
