Out of all the people I'm friends with you talk about the aromantic perspective the most so I kinda associate you with that.

Makes sense

the normal-ish character who keeps up with anime protagonists through guts and wit

not always, but enough that I associate that type with you

It is a thing I like

I think one of the most heroic and cool attributes a character an have is to have put in the work

If that makes sense

definitely shounen, i think just in general :|a but also aro perspectives for sure

Standing out in a cast. Like you always try to have your characters in an OC cast, for instance, cover a different perspective, a different background, etc.

I guess I do

I notice it because I do the same thing, it's good for balance.

Hell yeah

rock and stone

Shounen anime, but the good kind.

Also capybaras, of course.
