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

D2: And of course, anime is a wealth of wonderful friendships. You don't get too much of Mustang and Hughes, but every second of screen time they share bleeds camaraderie. Haikyu is chockablock with non-toxic bromances. And Naruto and Sasuke. And so on and so forth.

D2: had an enormous impact on how I pick words. Embrace wit. Engage with verbs. Send folks to a dictionary on occasion. Make shit up when it sounds right. Use language that speaks to your audience—especially in situations that don't. Converse. Have fun.
