You believe and take anything like candy/evidence from strange children, and planned a seven-year long revenge scenario, and went about your house like a cat despite having a daughter? And sometimes you base life decisions on your relationships with people from your childhood?

...Yes to some of that and no to others. XD

Basically at the time AJ came out, I was in a situation where, due to my own overconfidence in my abilities, I had spent a long time unemployed, then finally found steady work at a soul-sucking retail job which I found worked a whole lot better when I pretended to be far more dumb/oblivious than I actually was. I was unexpectedly good enough at this that my bosses loved me and let me pretty much do whatever I wanted as long as the basic responsibilities were met... which meant I spent most of my time alternately screwing around doing silly useless crap or plotting how to get back into a career path that actually utilized the talents I wanted to utilize. And my motivation for a lot of that was in fact a few lost little girls who had been abandoned. Lost little girls with long ears and fluffy tails, who made me smile even when I wanted to give up, and made even a life that was not living up to expectations... well, still full of happy moments. Also made the apartment a complete mess, but oh well. Happy.

Not so happy that I didn't leap at the chance, when it presented itself, to get myself out of that job and back to something where I had to dress business casual at the minimum, though. ;)

Ah, didn't expect a serious answer, but I'm happy you did. I get you. I imagine it must have hurt to purposefully dumb yourself down, but this sounds ridiculously cool for taking advantage of it and getting back to a point you'd prefer. And yay for inspirational bunnies too!

Yeah, it was really sort of uncanny in a lot of ways... of course I got into the fandom JUST BEFORE the release of AJ, had pretty much just marathoned the first three games, then waited a month and went into AJ without knowing any info about it except that there was a new protagonist and Phoenix had a new look. Didn't recognize the similarities until I started seeing people complain about how Phoenix had changed in this game and I found I was taking their criticism strangely personally...

When I figured it out, I was already in the process of making Naruhobo cosplay for a masq skit, so I took a pic of myself in the hat with the little bunny-girl who literally turned up on my doorstep when I was at a particularly low point, and used that as my FB profile pic for awhile. :D

Not that I unequivocally love him or anything though. He comes really close to causing embarrassment squick sometimes, because he's really sort of a loser in some of the same ways I'm really sort of a loser. :P
