Omg hi! 🍋🌊 This’ll be fun to answer hehe. In short, several reasons kinda came together to form the name citrinesea

🌴 I’m someone who’s very attached to the tropical aesthetic, mainly bc I grew up in that environment. Palm trees, clear blue skies, and insanely humid temperatures are my sense of calm. The whole reason I do what I do is to enjoy myself in my peace (yapping about Akatsuki and Ryuseitai), so because of that, I wanted my identity to be synonymous with tropical, healing paradise! Right now for my job, I don’t live where I’m originally from, and sometimes the different climate really gets to my mental health. Having my own little virtual tropical beach full of the things I love is has gotten me through some really tough times this past year. When you think of citrinesea, I want you think of a spot you can just relax in. A happy place.
🦦 Two of my favorite members of AKARYUSEI are Keito and Kanata, and they drive a lot of what I do. When I originally created this site, it was because I had long rambling essays about Kanakei that I wanted to put somewhere organized and pretty. citrinesea is supposed to be a kind of mix between the two: citrine being Keito, the tart but sweet one, and sea representing Kanata, bc… well, he’s Kanata.
🌊 I’m just attached to the noun + noun format, and so I smushed them together. Is this the childhood influence of Warrior cats ingrained in me? /lh

Sorry if that was rambly! I wanted to answer this right away because I loved the question so much! I hope that makes sense, and thank YOU for asking 💙🌴🫂
