Re: Obsession. I Think Your Definition Is Quite Strict And Doesn't Account For People With Multiple Obsessions,
Re: obsession. I think your definition is quite strict and doesn't account for people with multiple obsessions, especially if they have ADHD and can jump from one hyperfixation to another. Not trying to offend, just offering a different perspective as someone with ADHD and multiple obsessions/hyperfixations that fluctuate throughout the day.
Great point! I am not an expert, had not considered your point at the time, and I'm sorry if I offended you. Honestly, I'm not that familiar with ADHD, and was only thinking of the definition from my own (probably narrow) perspective. I should have specified that there could definitely be multiple, rotating obsessions, or hyperfixations, which is a more ADHD-specific term.
Though, I want to point out that in the context of these characters, even if their obsessions (broadly), hyperfixations, or special interests could potentially bring them satisfaction upon completion of their objectives or with repetition and regularity, the word "obsession," when used in a clinical sense, can indicate that said obsession could cause distress and be unhealthy, and the majority of the characters I described in my reblog were Evil, played the role of antagonist/villain, or underwent negative character arcs, and were never very healthy examples to begin with, whichever traits they might've had.
Also, you can correct me regarding anything else, if it comes up. I don't mind, and would like to thank you for phrasing this ask nicely.

Coffee or Tea and why?
Neither. I don't like the taste of coffee, and don't want to become dependent on caffeine.
Where have you traveled to?
I've been to a few places in the U.S., Canada, Spain, Portugal, England, and Italy.
if you were an animal, what animal would you be?
I'm not sure, but I would think a safe bet would be an indoor cat. I'd likely have no obligation to socialize with, obey, or be petted by anyone, and wouldn't be exposed to the elements.
WOW. I am just gaping in awe! This is absolutely amazing! And the level of detail—it looks like a still from an actual animated film!
And the green flame matches his eyes! That's so cool. Was that decision at all a reference to the Malice 66 scene with the lit chandelier?
