Hello! My name is Caroline Sophia Hamel (she/her)! You may know me as the author of the book To Hold a Flower, about two sisters, mental health, and a lesbian love story.
I love anime and any media that can make me cry and feel. Above all, I love bittersweet stories that can both make you cry and smile. Tragedy is another genre that I've loved, though I now prefer hopeful stories. Small things that touch you so tenderly are the stories that can touch me most and help me grow into the person I want to be.
Liz and the Blue Bird is my favorite anime because of how bittersweet and subtle it is. It’s a very personal and beautiful coming of age film that’s meant a lot to me over the years.
Madoka Magica Rebellion is similarly personal to me and a movie that helped me in a dark place. It’s such a fragile, lonely, and bittersweet story.
I love tragic characters and I relate to lonely, socially-awkward characters who have difficulty communicating and expressing themselves and who are highly emotional. My favorite character is Homura Akemi from Madoka Magica & Madoka Magica Rebellion, followed by Mizore from Liz and the Blue Bird & Sound! Euphonium, Kirika from Noir, and Slaine Troyard from Aldnoah.Zero. Mizore is probably the character I relate to most, and I realize now that most of the characters I relate to are likely neurodivergent.
Yuki Kajiura is my favorite composer. Her music is so beautiful, fragile, tragic, cradling, whimsical, epic, depressing, healing … it is so personal, containing all of the beauty of living, always cradling you and holding you in gentle touches. Her music is always personal and highly emotional. She composed for Madoka Magica, The Garden of Sinners, Noir, .hack//Sign, Fate/Zero, Erased, Pandora Hearts, Princess Principal, Mai-Hime, Tsubasa Chronicle, et cetera.
