I do! My favorite cats are domestic ones. I find their mannerisms and skills very fascinating. They are very observant and, even if they are technically not as intelligent as dogs, they are very adaptable. They can even grasp a concept like classical conditioning, instinctually.

I had a Tuxedo cat in my childhood named Eddie. My parents got him to catch mice in our apartment. Then he played outdoirs a lot after we moved. I even saw him chase a deer once... He was a bit mean sometimes, like I remember he did not like another childhood pet of mine, a Boxer dog named Roscoe. I don't know, something about him specifically just irritated Eddie. He didn't act like that around other dogs, the goldrn retriever we got later, Eddie was pretty neutral about.

Eddie died 4 years ago of old age in his sleep and I still miss him, and having a cat in general. They seem to be good animals for emotional support. Purring seems to have health benefits for both cat and human, and cats can also detect things like tumors.

I actually have been a bit fixated on just, watching cats lately... I was mildly paranoid I somehow picked up toxoplasma gondii, but I haven't done anything thay would expose me to it, so I think... I'm just depressed and want a cat's company, haha.

Absolutely!! He is such an interesting and stand out character compared to the others. His personality is very lowkey 'n quiet, and he has a calm and sleepy voice to match. I also like the use of blue and red in his asymmetric design. Cyan and crimson. Blends very well. Just a lot of cute details on his design. Especially the hair antennae, and how it moves.

I really really vibe with his personality in general. He is one of the few characters I can confidently headcanon as autistic. I see a lot of those traits in him and his mannerisms. He doesn't express himself facially much, is hyper interested in bugs and can recall a lot about them off the top of his head. But he also struggles to pick up other bits of info. His voice also tends to sound drab, or lacking emotion. Only a couple of his friends can tell how he actually feels about things in the moment. His diction is blunt and to the point (In Japanese dialogue he doesn't use a personal pronoun, which is not something I've heard of often). It's all very, uh, clear, stand out to me.

He is in a way simple and deep. He feels things strongly, but doesn't show it in a "regular" way. He cares about his friends a lot. He's empathetic. Sometimes he puts others before himself, not wanting them to worry about him. In combination with everything else I find it cute and sweet.

I also think his backstory is interesting. He is (the descendant of?) half of a demon, the other half having been sealed in a book long ago. That's why his left arm is red, and it seems like it became that way due to proximity with that book. He doesn't know all the info about this but he doesn't like thinking about it. And the concept of, the red of the arm spreading, scares him too. The whole idea of losing yourself. He wants to enjoy life at his own pace. Maybe that fear that the opportunity could be taken from him is frightening, but he doesn't know what to do about it... So he tries to think about other things instead. Such a sad thing. I am attached to it though. It touches me, I guess...

Sig is very comforting to me, in general. I enjoy thinking about him. In lots of ways. Being in distress, or being creepy, or being supported and loved. Happy about him <3

I actually haven't played FE Engage yet, though I really should at least try it. I have heard very mixed things though. That the plot is very standard almost to the point of parody, the characters aren't well defined besides their designs. But then the gameplay, customization, and maps are fun. Strangely, I am kind of repelled from playing it? Also the fact that I just haven't picked up my Switch in quite a few months.

To be honest the thing that most interested me initially was the Emblems being past characters. Unfortunately from what I have seen they also aren't that well defined as characters in game. They don't have in depth support conversations like the new cast, or much plot relevance. It feels... Haphazard, I guess. (Also admittedly I listen to the Trial Map themes a lot, they are so good)

Many of my thoughts are secondhand since I haven't played it yet. But it's kind of low on my list right now.
