1 | Samuel di Curtisi di Salvadori (nee Samuel Curtis), [[Manga/DetectiveConan Shinichian and Hirokian]].[[labelnote:note]]My most commonly used sig.[[/labelnote]] |
2 | |
3 | Born and lived most of his live in UsefulNotes/HongKong, but now studying genetics in the US. As expected for a Hong Konger, I'm of Chinese blood and speaks [[ChineseDialectsAndAccents Cantonese]]-- but I associated more with the ''English''-speaking fandom than the Chinese. |
4 | |
5 | I hardly consider myself {{otaku}}; my dosage of manga is well within normal limits for any urban teenager in East Asia, I read quite a bit of other books, and I don't fawn over anything fictional. This is marked by my interpretation of fictional works: |
6 | * ''unless otherwise stated, everything is realistic,'' and |
7 | * ''"this is a plot device" is only an explanation at the last resort.'' |
8 | |
9 | Which is not surprising, given my GatewaySeries is ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' and my current portfolio, which also includes ''Manga/LuckyStar'' and ''Manga/HidamariSketch'', are still realistic enough to sustain the above. |
10 | |
11 | !!I am also examples of: |
12 | * AngstAversion |
13 | ** ''Manga/DetectiveConan: Phantom of Baker Street'' was giving me such heart-crushing angst (that lingered [[BeyondTheImpossible for several years!]]) that: |
14 | ###the movie was banned for me even now, and |
15 | ###there's no doubt that that angsty character is already part of my psyche. |
16 | ** A more recent example is ''Manga/SketDance'', in which I was on the verge of starting until... knowing about Switch's MySiblingWillLiveThroughMe {{backstory}}. |
17 | * AsianAndNerdy-- So Yeah. |
18 | * [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Attention Deficit... Ooh Shiny!]]-- Diagnosed in an age when ADHD was hardly a buzzword in my place. Which quite certainly led to... |
19 | * BookDumb-- people ''always'' commented that I am smarter than what my grades showed. As a matter of fact I ''barely'' got a B+ in undergraduate, the minimum to get into grad school--which left me wondering now: how did I get into the PhD of this Top 100 school? |
20 | * BrilliantButLazy-- [[JustifiedTrope certainly a consequence of ADHD]] as ADHD is mainly a consequence of impaired norepinephrine signalling-- and norepinephrine also mediates alertness and wakefulness. I actually have that "unshruggable grogginess" that has been very prominent before going on psychostimulants which made me has the drive but not the energy to do things. |
21 | * EatingLunchAlone-- Pretty evident after entering college. |
22 | * GentleGiant-- which led to [[HugeSchoolgirl Huge Schoolboy]] tendencies, below. |
23 | * IntelligenceEqualsIsolation-- I ''won't'' call myself ''that'' intelligent; [[YouFailTheIQTest 128]] isn't that high of score--but being clinically in the autistic spectrum, this is somehow inevitable. By the way, I interpret [[DetectiveConan Shinichi Kudo]] to be between this and InsufferableGenius. |
24 | * [[HugeSchoolgirl Huge Schoolboy]]-- I'm considered to be very tall at home, and suffered from the insecurities mentioned in that trope; I once compared myself to [[AzumangaDaioh Sakaki]]. Which, strangely, led me to have a tendency to [[TheWoobie woobify]] {{Ill Boy}}s. Will be on that later. |
25 | * AngstWhatAngst Despite the above, don't think I'm so angsty. To be frank, I [[AngstAversion avoid angst]], lest it would damage my sanity; I understand well that I can be into angst so much when I got to meet them. |
26 | * LiteralMinded: To the level that I can calculate but not predict. |
27 | |
