I created Brainrot Quizzes to make personality quizzes that feel like the old internet again: fun enough to share and make you laugh, but thoughtful enough to tell you something real about yourself.
I grew up taking internet quizzes that had a strange kind of magic. They felt playful and overly specific at the same time, as if they actually understood something about you. As I got older, I found more quizzes that felt random, surface-level, or written by people who didn't really know or love the topic. Brainrot Quizzes is my attempt to bring a little bit of that old internet magic back.
How I Write Quizzes
I usually begin with a framework: a set of character archetypes, emotional patterns, or personality traits that are represented in a particular fandom or topic. From there, I write questions that are intended to reveal which types and patterns match you best. I try to avoid answers that obviously map to specific results, because a good question should provoke an honest response rather than ask you to choose the label you already want.
I also try to be very thoughtful about my results and their descriptions. I want each result to explain why it fits you and to help you feel just a little bit seen. As cliche as it sounds, I hope my quizzes make you both laugh and cry.
Writing About Fandoms
Fandom quizzes should feel like they were made by actual fans. They should be made by someone who understands the story, the characters, and why they matter. Fortunately, I'm a pretty big nerd and have my hands in a lot of different fandoms. But when I get a request for a quiz on a fandom I don't know as well, I find friends who do know it to make sure my quiz stays true to the heart of the characters, themes, and story.
What I Care About
I believe a good quiz should make you feel seen but not judged. It can be funny, dramatic, romantic, or deeply unserious, but it should still respect the person taking it. I often update older quizzes when I feel they no longer meet my standards, and I always welcome feedback when I get something wrong.
When I'm not working on quizzes, I'm usually reading, rewatching one of my many comfort shows, or ranting to someone about why Nana deserved another season.
