D19: Personal experience aside, anime has had the greatest impact on how I write bros. Again, I generally prefer sworn/self-selected fraternity over biology, but Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood nails Ed and Al's relationship. (Who could've guessed from the title?)

my wife, , is the coolest taciturn person I know, and taught me almost everything I know about writing quiet folks, though she's not really aloof, and definitely not frosty. I do enjoy those archetypes as well, though—especially in anime. https://t.co/X71Mh3Jjyg

D4: ...are you SURE isn't still active? 😅 Pretty much all the visual influences for the current WIP are anime. There are many, but I think Ergo Proxy is closest to the general aesthetic. High action backdropped by a grim, grey-sepia palette.
