im not sure if this is asked before but what first attracted you to kuguri?
anon!
1729033017243
Hello! I wanted to ask since you know a lot about Kuguri, but I'm a fanfic writer and I wanted to get some characterization tips? Like how he talks or acts?
OH BOY okay okokokok SO ill just go point-by-point
- if it is one (1) thing about kuguri that you have to take away from this answer its that he Does Not Talk Like Sakuma Rei From The Hit Game Ensemble Stars. KJHDFSKJFHSDK that is the biggest mistake anyone could make with his charavoice
other than that:
- kuguri is not formal with his speech hes really lax, teasing, etc but he wont ever say please KSDJFH this is like super important he is incredibly self confident and doesn't enjoy being "beneath" anyone. if that makes sense.
- his speech also isn't very complicated or dramatic in a casual setting. like he'll reference specific things (ie: liszt's pieces or the theory about the oyster shell), but the most he'll ever be is vague about something
- he addresses everyone in the cast by their first name even those older than him (the only exceptions being ev3ns/chief bc he has nicknames for them)
- kuguri doesnt like being told what to do (he straight up says so in ev3ns mainsto side a)
- kuguri is acutely aware of who interacts with him physically as well as when and how
- he can get really passive agressive KFDJSH he's very snake-like with how sharp and fast he is with being mean
- only stays in places if (1) he absolutely has to and (2) it interests him enough to stay.
ofc ill go into more detail when i inevitably post my kuguri brain vomit KJFHD i hope this helps anon if i think of anything else i'll follow up KDSJFH

survey anon again!! thank you for responding, and it’s super cool that you also like bittersweet sixteen side-b (I love it so much), and the Muneuji SSR. he’s not my favorite character but somehow it looks really good. Tao’s novel is also so so good and it propelled him up my favorite character list
and ofc ivory and shall we travel 😭😭 they are so underrated. I have nothing to ask lol but thank you anyway for the reply!

hello thank you for releasing the survey results!! loved seeing what the fandom liked vs my own interests (damn my tastes are unpopular)
if I’m not overstepping, what were your responses for the survey if you did it? please feel free to not answer/disclose certain questions if you don’t want to. thank you!
KFJKHS this is a nice surprise i didn't expect someone to be curious about my answers /pos
- rank: 57; ive been here basically since launch
- i'm a translator, translation proofer, story fanatic, and merch collector (i also feel like a librarian since i keep careful track of who translates what SFKJH)
- my favorite unit is obviously ev3ns, kuguri is my kamioshi, and nayuki is my favorite conductor (live laugh ev3ns)
- my fave hamasaki sibling is momiji, and my favorite NPCs are yunyun and kodama.
- i don't really have a favorite KOBE mayor since i don't know much about them DKSFH
- my favorite songs are scarlet scars, ivory, and shall we travel
- my favorite initial ssr is muneuji's, and my favorite gacha ssr is ushios ayakashi card :3
- my favorite main story section is all of chained up scarlet, and i also really like day2 side b
- sand sculpture of the heart and ayakashi parade are my two favorite event stories so far, tho i really like mistery under a moonlit passage too
- my favorite novels are kuguri, ushio, and tao's :') they are quite the emotional rollercoasters
- last but not least, my favorite sr stories are all the ukiuki paradise sr initials (their interactions are super funny) i don't quite have a favorite ssr story fave yet SFKJDH
thank you for the nice question anon KJSDFH

hi I’m the survey anon no rush!! and I’m sorry if it seemed like I was rushing you bc I didn’t intend to 🙇🙇and the votes for event story being close isn’t unexpected but I’m still so hyped! not sure where else to ask but do you know if shuunin (both Kaede and Momiji) has a confirmed age? I saw an artist say that Kaede is 24 but do you know where they got it from? thank you!
no worries anon! i'm actually really happy that you're excited for the poll results :3 as for kaede and momiji... i don't think their ages are explicitly stated anywhere? though theres a couple of things that hint at their ages as far as i know:
- they have to be old enough to drink
- kaede is older than momiji

sorry to bother, but do you know what story it's mentioned that kinari got a stuffed animal from a fan? i can't find it anywhere TT^TT
that would be sand sculpture of the heart, track 5! here's the convo (tl by me!)
raito: I had some ramen during my break. There’s this interesting local kind called “su ramen”. kinari: At noon, I received a stuffed camel from a fan… it seems to be a souvenir from this site. kuguri: A puppet getting a stuffed animal, hm? That suits you, plüss.
