Quirks? Sure.

1. Ising the oddly passioned becoming of fictional tongues, yes?
2. I'm fascinated by war history and military details.

   I'm planning on joining the Canadian Armed Forces as an artillery gunner.

3. I'm the kind of person who’d know the flag of every faction in a fictional war. (cough...Cosmere...cough)
4. I collect random facts like they’re Pokémon.

   Did you know that the Cosmere is actually a dwarf galaxy?

5. I’ll spend ten minutes debating a single sentence.

   This sentence is concise and unambiguous. The alliteration in “single sentence” provides a satisfying rhythmic conclusion, while “ten minutes” serves as a mild yet effective hyperbole.

   Grammatically, it is sound; however, stylistically, it risks appearing plain. A stronger exaggeration, such as “fifteen” or “twenty minutes”, might create greater dramatic effect. Moreover, the phrase “debating a single sentence” introduces ambiguity, as it is unclear whether the debate occurs internally or with another person. Adding a brief clarifier could enhance precision and readability.

6. I appreciate formal prose, provided it does not devolve into excessive bureaucracy.
7. I possess an inclination toward the utilization of sesquipedalian verbiage purely for the sake of personal amusement.
8. I am precise with my grammar and spelling. But, I'm Canadian, so... colour and tire exist.
9. I can turn a random curiosity into a two-hour research session.
10. I like when something has a name, even if it’s obscure or technical.
11. I describe my cats like they’re mythological beings.
12. I talk to animals like they understand every word.
13. I use sarcasm as both humour and emotional armour.
14. I remember random details about things I care about, but forget basic stuff like where my keys are.

    Today I was searching for my shoes for… 30 minutes.

15. I like the smell of old books and skunks.
16. I’m the kind of person who looks up the Latin root of a word mid-conversation.
17. I sometimes keep my humour dry enough that people sometimes miss it.
18. I actually enjoy being a little eccentric as long as it’s authentic.
19. I find weird satisfaction in properly formatted lists.
20. Sometimes I write wrong on purpose. me is happy when I writes you is. 
21. I have a soft spot for clever villains.
22. I think best when I’m pacing.
23. I’m skeptical by default. I need evidence for everything.
24. I feel calmer around animals than people.
25. Meep meeep meepeep, meep meepity meep meeeepy.

I absolutely agree with 

One

Four

Ten-Fifteen 

And

Seventeen-Twenty Five. 
 

Cats are mythical but we’re stupid and hairless so we can’t understand. 
 

I say things in fantasy languages to confuse my friends. 
 

Sarcasm as armor is legit

So is making no rusting sense. That one makes people do funny things with their faces

OLD BOOKS SMELL SO GOOD

but not skunks. 
 

Authentic eccentricity is the best

Villians always have the coolest clothes too…

Animals are calming in their DNA 

Plus the one-sided convos are the absolute best. Bc they can understand you. 100%
