Despite his
taste in fiction, including things like the
Nasuverse and
My Lovely Ghost Kana, he is
on the young side (or at least, he was when he got into them). Due to emotional issues that've been going on for a while (and the ones who caused it denying it, keeping him from getting proper help), he had to find my own peace in learning, studying philosophy and psychology in his spare time. As such, a lot of people consider him to be
Wise Beyond Their Years, which allows him more freedom in his taste in fiction. He is a strong believer that
Rousseau Was Right, and that despite the fact that
a large amount of humans are
assholes, there's just as many that want to see people smile.
Oh, also. He has very bad chronic depression. Because he
Desperately Craves Affection, if you
Do Not Like Men or
Hate Being Touched, please let him know nicely before he asks you for a hug so he doesn't feel like a jackass.
