Discussion Prompt #3

[meganehaven]

What motivates your OC towards their goals?
Are they doing it all for someone they love? If they're seeking revenge, why does it matter so much to them? Or on a less dramatic scale, if their goal is career-focused, why did they choose this career path and continue on it? Maybe they want a quiet life, but why?

comment below your thoughts! <3

Wow, this is a hard one.

Going by my College AU verse, Kiyoshi's goal is to form a polycule, get married, and establish a family. Related, he wants to be a house husband and take care of the people he loves. The motivation behind his goal is that he didn't have that kind of "normal" family life (bc of divorced parents). He thinks achieving such a goal would make him happy.

As for Keima, he's a chill dude who cannot think long-term to save his life so with his job as a coach in his former middle school and spending time with his partner Kiyoshi, he thinks his life is pretty cozy and fun.

Hope you get well soon!

Kiyoshi is so real for wanting to be a house husband, plus it makes sense given his immediate family situation! maybe his goals could help keima with a longterm plan (: as long as its fun to him ofc!

ty for sharing! and for the well wishes, im starting to recover as far as i can tell (:

Thank you! Kiyoshi tends to be self-critical and beat himself up for wanting certain things because he's keenly aware of his biases. But everyone around him knows he would be a great homemaker!

Keima is going along with Kiyoshi's plan and being hands off about it until something that changes their dynamic actually happens. He does enjoy how Kiyoshi brings him new experiences.

Happy to hear you're getting better! Take care!
