I'm Etheru! I'm an all-around strange guy who's prone to [[SelfDeprecation lambasting himself]], and with a fairly narrow range of interests. Came to this site somewhere around 2008, and while I kinda think the site's gone downhill a bit since then, I frequently stick around. Probably more out of habit than any real attachment, though, even if there is some, I think, genuinely useful information here (although they're tempered a bit by a lack of citations; I'm not saying become Wikipedia, I'm just saying to cite sources better). I also kind of wish the site was funnier again. I particularly dislike the Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment.
I don't really have anything else of interest to say about myself up here; I think most of the facts down there just about cover it.
----
!!! Facts I like to think are interesting about myself.
* I thought it'd be interesting to write this instead of just simply "trope" my interests. Which I've kinda done before, but I don't like to talk about that.
* I was diagnosed with autism around Age 7.
* I'm pretty thin-skinned. It's one of the many things I dislike about myself. I think I'm getting just a bit better, though.
* Tend to rant. Would rather not go further.
* I tried to avoid putting too much self-deprecation on this list because I think people get sick of that pretty quickly.
* I'm a LEGO maniac.
* I have Youtube and Steam accounts, too. I don't upload many videos, though, and for the most part prefer to stay away from Steam forums (aside from taking part in heated conversations I regretted quickly and had no business in in the first place). I would love to start uploading (public) Lets Plays on Youtube.
* I am too lazy and need better work ethic.
* "Etheru" was derived from the ''One Piece'' character Eneru/Enel when I was younger, putting "Eth" before the "Eru" part. [[OldShame I actually kinda regret picking the name]], if only because it was just me being lazy and unoriginal.
* On-again, off-again roleplayer.
** I prefer to [[{{Crossplayer}} play female characters]]. I used to play pre-dominantly male characters in [=RPs=], but then switched to mostly female characters, and in general I prefer to write female characters.
* I proposed "ComplexityAddiction", "UnexpectedCharacter", and "PromotedToPlayable" albeit all of them were under different names at the time. I might have proposed one more, but can't remember. I like the second and third the most.
----
!!! Things I like or dislike
* I love superheroes, robots, and the horror genre.
** Favorite horror movies are ''Film/TheFrighteners'' and ''Film/EvilDead2''.
** My favorite superheroes are Superman, Spider-Man, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and (technically) Mega Man. I also enjoyed Batman for a good while, but kind of have a love/hate relationship with him nowadays.
* I like stories that take place in a weird, undefined time period that takes traits after multiple. It's a good way of keeping a story "aged" while still being able to keep it somewhat contemporary.
* Avid game player; particular games I enjoy (there's going to be a ''lot'' of Indies on this list...):
** ''VideoGame/FreedomPlanet'': It's just such a cool little Sonic-alike, even if it borrows more from multiple games. The plot's a little cheesy, but I feel that it makes a good effort to create a nice, developed world.
** ''VideoGame/SonicMania'': Best Sonic game in years! While I was a little leery of the [[NostalgiaLevel classic stages]], they were all done with neat enough new twists that I was fine with the retreads.
** ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'': A game I got around two years after it came out, [[ItWillNeverCatchOn having earlier dismissed it]]. It's since become one of my favorite games, though.
** ''VideoGame/MegaMan'': I admit I prefer the Classic series overall, with ''Legends'' in second place. I will admit that ''X'' and ''Zero'' have stronger characterization, though.
** ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'': Should go without saying, probably. Wish it had more villains, though.
*** ''VideoGame/RivalsOfAether'': I like it from a gameplay standpoint, but feel the writing is ''very'' weak (mostly how vague and empty the setting feels, and how most of the characters are written).
** ''VideoGame/HalfLife'': In general I love these games, namely for their good storytelling. Oh, and I think the gunplay is pretty good too. I like to play ''VideoGame/SvenCoop'' sometimes, although my net connection gets in the way of that.
** ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'': Albeit Season 1 only. It really just worked better as a self-contained story about the surrogate parent and child bond between Clementine and Lee.
** ''VideoGame/AHatInTime'': Incredibly charming platformer that's also funny as shit. I also think it's got some fairly good storytelling, for what it is, even if most of it is in ''Psychonauts''-like supplements found within the bonus levels.
** ''{{VideoGame/Control}}'': ''So'' weird as fuck. A little difficult, but that might be my fairly low adaptability.
** ''VideoGame/GoatSimulator'': It's a GuiltyPleasure. I think its satire is less funny than the SurrealHumor.
* I haven't quite decided if I'll pursue game dev or writing cartoons. Speaking of which...
* I'm a big fan of cartoons.
** Particular favorites are the various ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' adaptations[[labelnote:Although...]]I have a love-hate relationship with [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 the 2012 show]]; I disliked the constant writer shake-ups and frequently changing direction, but when the series was good, it was ''really'' good, and produced some really good incarnations of certain characters along with its new ones, although I feel the 2003 characters weren't written the most faithfully. I think Season 5 was its best one, due to showing how creative they could get without the baggage of having to continue previous writers' work.[[/labelnote]]. They're all wildly varying incarnations, and it's really cool.
*** Speaking of which, ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' is probably one of my favorite incarnations of the series for its interesting characters and not trying to ape too much from prior continuities, but what it did ape was reworked in a surprisingly fresh and interesting way.
** I have a fair bit of fondness for ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo''. Might be rose-tinted glasses, but there's a certain charm I find in it overall.
** ''{{WesternAnimation/Amphibia}}'' is quite good, though a lot more "slow-burn" in regards to its lore. I kinda prefer it over ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' (which is also a good show, but something feels like it's missing in my opinion...).
** Anime-wise, I like ''Jojo's Bizarre Adventure'' (big shock), ''My Hero Academia'', and ''{{Anime/FLCL}}'' (not as much ''Progressive''; opinion pending on ''Alternative''). I also rather enjoyed ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia'', with my main overall complaint being how lopsided its first and second halves feel (the first being primarily episodic and the second being more dramatic and character-driven). I also liked ''[[Anime/BirdyTheMighty Tetsuwan Birdy]]''.
* Reading is something I rarely do, but I can enjoy it.
** I hold a bit of fondness for ''Literature/AnimalFarm'', since it was among the High School books I can remember.
** I like fairy tales. ''Little Red Riding Hood'' is my favorite, predictably.
** The ''Candle Cove'' Creepypasta was really cool.
* I hate arbitrary [[OutOfOrder futzing of chronological or production order]] in a series. It often almost ruins coherency, and makes the series way too confusing to navigate (especially when nothing official clears up what the order is).

* Avid gamer; particular games I enjoy (there's going to be a ''lot'' of Indies on this list...):
** ''VideoGame/FreedomPlanet'': It'snot just such a cool little Sonic-alike, even if it borrows more from multiple games. The plot's a clever insult, and little cheesy, but I find the use feel that it makes a good effort to create a nice, developed world.
** ''VideoGame/SonicMania'': Best Sonic game in years! While I was a little leery of theword incredibly hypocritical, especially when [[NostalgiaLevel classic stages]], they were all done with neat enough new twists that I was fine with the retreads.
** ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'': A game I got around two years after it came out, [[ItWillNeverCatchOn having earlier dismissed it]]. It's since become one of my favorite games, though.
** ''VideoGame/MegaMan'': I admit I prefer the Classic series overall, with ''Legends'' in second place. I will admit that ''X'' and ''Zero'' have stronger characterization, though.
** ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'': Should go without saying, probably. Wish it had more villains, though.
*** ''VideoGame/RivalsOfAether'': I like it from a gameplay standpoint, but feel the writing is ''very'' weak (mostly how vague and empty the setting feels, and how most of the characters are written).
** ''VideoGame/HalfLife'': In general I love these games, namely for their good storytelling. Oh, and I think the gunplay is pretty good too. I like to play ''VideoGame/SvenCoop'' sometimes, although my net connection gets in the way of that.

* Thought that games like ''VideoGame/FreedomPlanet'', ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'', and ''{{VideoGame/Undertale}}'' [[ItWillNeverCatchOn wouldn't be well-loved or get as much attention as they got]].

* Around the beginning of 2017, I started creating videos. While they're mostly unlisted on Youtube and I only do them for a stream channel, I might make them more public when I'm confident with them!
