about me:

oh thank god i can finally stop pretending to be professional. i am completely and utterly in love with oz. hes technically not the first character i've loved in this way, but hes the first one i've ever felt so intensely over

i was gifted monster prom in 2018 by a friend so we could play together (going by my achievements, may 10th). there are six main love interests in that game but the one i was interested in showed up on the character select screen... to be honest i cant pinpoint the moment i truly 'fell in love' with oz, for all i know i fell the second i laid my eyes on him

explaining why i love him so much is a bit messy. i loved him before we knew much about him at all, when all i had to go off of were short voice lines and the developers answering questions about him. at the time i wouldn't have been able to explain why other than liking shy nerds (which i very much still do by the way), but i do think it goes slightly deeper than that

to be honest a big reason why i like him so much is probably because of how perfectly his design fits my tastes. i love monochrome colour palettes. i love eldritch shit. i love his little guys. he has nerdy interests and likes board games. he's kind and sweet and gentle and shy but he really likes connecting with people. he's lovely

he's really cute too. i love reading and hearing him speak, i like how he's nervous but wants to improve himself still. he wants to be cool and likeable! and i wanna tell him he already is!! like i got giddy while talking to him and was genuinely swooning at his date ending in the monster roadtrip dlc. im not normal about him at all. and im so sorry for the person im gonna be when monster prom reverse comes out

and the funny part is even though he's so nice he hangs out with the cast of monster prom? he canonically has a crush on at least one of them! and if you dont know, none of the main six dateables in that game are morally good people at all!! miranda is a VERY tyrannical leader, polly does like 50 pounds of cocaine every night, scotts nice but is still very fine with murder, vera can be cruel as hell, liam's a hipster and damien loves arson. and he chooses to hang out with these guys and go on wacky and usually very illegal adventures with them anyway! this doesn't lead to anything i just think its funny

i have an oc that's like him in a way: monochrome design, has to deal with an embodiment of fear using her as a vessel, weird black blobs with a mind of their own.. and at the time she was so underdeveloped she was pretty much a self insert (she's better now dw). this also leads to nothing fooled you twice, i only thought it was interesting enough to note

he means alot to me and im aware of how stupid this sounds, but its crazy to think i lived my life without him in it. oz was kinda like a gateway for me, i can't stress this enough that i had never felt so intensely passionate about a fictional character before him. and its funny because even after all these years im still passionate. whenever i see or think about him i can't help but smile. there's something about him thats extremely endearing to me. and im still just as in love with him as i was back then, maybe even more so!

i don't rate my main five favourites anymore, its pointless since whoevers first place is usually due to recency bias, but oz is an extremely important character to me. im in love with him and to be honest i think he'd love me too. i mean how could you not i am so cool and awesome<3
