idk if I'm late but I... I'll admit it... I have a thing..... for black-haired geniuses who are quietly passionate.
Not the burning 'AAHH I WILL SOLVE THE WORLD' type but like that... "ugh.. I don't want to do anything. I don't care what happens." but then they lowkey do and then JFDKSF they do their best like YEP
they don't actually have to be black-haired, but like, the moment they're black-haired i'm just extra djskalfdjssa
examples, just cuz I can: oreki houtarou from hyouka, kyouya from ouran high school host club, kageyama from haikyuu.
oh, and for character arcs, give me the 'disinterested impassionate character is befriended/learns to coexist with others/foundfamilyfeels' arc and you will have
gotten me so bad it won't be funny
kay now I'm embarrassed goodbye
