>>3406672I don't know if he has what would count as aspirations. Obviously he wants people to have their happy endings, and he hates when someone suffers whether he can help or not, but because of lacking self confidence he wouldn't aspire to help everyone or anyone, or to change the system to ensure the least suffering. He promises to apprehend a criminal some day, but given various opportunities he struggles with himself to act on that as forcefully as he could. He doesn't think of improving, that isn't a possibility to him with his current mindset, mostly because he doesn't believe that he deserves to be better. He's resigned to existing. That's good enough if people need him.
He's a spur of the moment person, who promises something immediate to address an immediate need and acts before there's time to plan or think. I'm the type to plan and never act, so I guess it works out between us. We both break a lot of promises.
>>3407986Free food? Parties? Time off? Hell yeah, Christmas. I don't know how seriously he would take the Japanese romantic bent on the holiday, but maybe it'd make a fair excuse to do something kind without playing it off as teasing.
>>3408974He's paradoxically popular as the main character of a less remembered series, the fanbase is small but they all have their hands on him in some way. There's a lot of chatter calling him their wife or son, child, baby, etc. People commission art and get birthday presents of related media and make enthusiastic posts about how much it means to them because he is so special and they love him. It's not the same thing though. These people come and go, pick and choose. A few times I've had someone reply going 'he's my husbando too!' but they vanish after that, won't even talk about the series with me.
To be frank I'm lonely. I want to talk about his series, and there are times when people write like they really get him. Most of the time though, it feels embarrassingly off. And when I talk to them: no reply.
