and some ideas i have for each option thus far (can be changed out potentially)

summons/creatures: carbuncle, moogle, chocobo, shiva, diabolos, odin, phoenix

music: a biiit more on the vague side but songs will come from very different genres; punk, classical, folk, pop, rock, etc etc

plushies: may use some inspiration from plushies i own, but will also draw from some other sources; jellycat plushies and some webkinz may come into play. i am cringe but i am free if you will

flowers/plants: lily of the valley, sunflower, hydrangea, bird of paradise, honeysuckle, forget me not, etc

sea creatures: anglerfish, manta ray, otter, sea lion, moon jellyfish, etc

• often sleeps curled up whenever possible, though could spawl out whenever he's got trouble sleeping. also has a tendency to hold onto his tail whilst sleeping. sleeps warm and ONLY warm will not sleep a wink if it's too cold
• doesn't bite ice cream; licks it instead. wonders why his ice cream melted in 10 seconds flat
• late bloomer. doesn't really hit his growth spurt til he's 16. hence why he sounds a bit like a squeaky toy at times (though i'd probably say, vocally, that spurt would hit him pretty fucking hard. only grows like an inch or two taller lol)
• would pick fuecoco if doing a run of pokemon s/v. favorite starter in general is probably chimchar for... reasons. monke reasons. he's just that kinda fire type guy
• would likely not enjoy dark chocolate (as much as i do :,) ). too bitter for him. loves those mixes between white and milk chocolate though
• tries to build nice houses in minecraft but ends up building dirt mansions
• very fidgety, but actually not really in the nervous sense. if he isn't moving in some capacity (ie: leg bounce or flicking his tail), he can grow a bit peeved actually. also why he hates to be held completely still for some time
• he wants a blahaj for christmas. will you give him one
• likes big, fluffy and oversized jackets. portable weighted blanket
• if he were to head out for a long time for some whatever reason (not out of anger, somehow, or how he headed out @ the start of his plot), he'd send lots of letters to his friends. if you weren't to get a letter every few days, something bad's happened to him
• favorite sound is ocean waves
• favorite scent, if not of fresh apples, is that of pine trees
• very surprisingly precise about his hair and tail. doesn't like to go out with either of them being messy or with faded dye
• would enjoy a lot of the older animated movies i'd imagine? probably 60s-00s kind of range. not too interested in a lot past that
• would enjoy ps2 games most, though ps1 + (3)ds are close
• out of ff9's canon cast, would have the most solid friendship with mikoto (this probably matters in the sense of eternal requiem stuff but not much else)
• would cry if he accidentally stole a pen from an inn
• would enjoy cookie dough. don't let him see you making cookies. salted caramel is his favorite (more commonly seen) flavor of stuff like ice cream
• does not know how to feel about applesauce. he does not like the texture of it... but apples...
• if there was one summon/eidolon he had access to one way or another (for some reason?) out of the ones in ff9, it'd be either phoenix or alexander

he is real
