at this point. i'm waiting for S4 to bring her back properly :^) I love you Amalia Wakfu, I'm so glad that the fandom doesn't treat you bad at all and the only time I joined a Wakfu discord I didn't see a channel specifically dedicated to shit on you /s people are so mean to her for NO reason she's literally a child and a princess in the first two seasons and someone who did nothing wrong in the third!!!!!!!

and to stay in the theme of "girly princess who did nothing wrong who's treated like ass by the fandom despite being way more powerful and useful than several male character and that nobody, creators included, get her but me". Kairi Kingdomhearts. someday babygirl. someday. ]

₊˙ ◌ ⁎˚ 〇﹒﹙minatozaki sana. cisfemale. she / her.﹚guess who was almost late for their shift at vesper lounge again ?? that’s right, it was yoshihara arisa ! it’s a wonder their job as a bartender isn’t in jeopardy. the 24 year old has been working at sunset galleria for three years, and is well known for their bubbly nature. on bad days, they can be rather mercurial, though. when the mall is dead at night, they can usually be found prepping for a date at sephora cosmetics, but don’t tell their boss !

and hi hi again! this is also rouge because i can’t help myself and this is a beloved muse ⏤ so i’m bringing miss lover girl arisa, embodiment of affection! her stats and personality page is also done and a rough version of her background will be below. please like to plot or also hit me up on discord for her as well!

arisa is very much a local to daegu, her parents moving to the town shortly after her birth in osaka, japan.

unfortunately arisa was a very sickly child, suffering with a disease that gave her a weakened immune system and had her in and out of the hospital from ages 3 to 10. at 10 she had a bad bout in the hospital for several months where the doctors thought that she wasn’t going to make it, but ended up surviving in the end.

she had always been the typical girly girl who dreamed of a wedding and prince charming, fairytale movies were always played in her hospital room as she seemed to perk up while watching them. she likes to say that that love saved her ⏤ not only from the movies, but her parents as well.

although many families have rather broken parental relationships, hers was quite the opposite. her parents were high school sweethearts that broke up and finding each other again in their twenties and never let go ever since. her mother showed her how women were supposed to be treated and her father showed her what to look for in a man. even several decades later, they’re still playful and faithfully dedicated to each other.

so you could say that she’s always been obsessed with the idea of romance. this obviously bled into her relationships, and has dated around a lot in her life, experienced a lot of heartbreak ( especially in high school ), but hasn’t found her prince/ss charming :( which has caused some self-confidence issues which makes her prone to moody behaviors at random.

but she started becoming “cupid” after entering university and helping a couple of couples get together. it was from there that she realized how much she enjoyed helping people in general and decided to advertise her services to those around ⏤ and definitely not because she’s somewhat living through them at all! of course not!

this has also bled into her job @ vesper lounge too ... and around the mall in general, considering her reputation most likely proceeds her but she doesn’t mind that at all.

not only that but she’s sure that she wants to be a therapist or a legit dating coach, so like ... technically this her building experience, right?

anyways yeah! this time i do have plot ideas so here they are below:

ofc off the bat anyone that’s come to her for dating help or trying to get with someone in particular, she’s your girl!

also past exes and past / current flings because arisa states that she isn’t dating to “focus on herself” but the reality is that she’s probably going through some sort of hoe phase looking for love in all the wrong places, lbr

this also includes past and current flirtationships too

someone who frequents the lounge mainly for her companionship / to get advice from her, as much as she loooves to talk she’s also a good listener ( when she wants to be ) and probably beams as soon as you walk in! let her attempt to solve your problems!

someone who isn’t confident in themselves that she is working to build up, or even someone that she’s trying to do a complete social makeover on ⏤ think zero to hero and all those cliches

childhood friends! those who stuck beside her during her most vulnerable time and that she probably bends backwards over for

on the opposite spectrum, enemies because she was probably caught flirting with someone’s significant other ( whoops ), people who thinks that she’s fake and vapid ( valid ), weren’t happy that she wasn’t able to make their crush fall in love with them ( doesn’t work like that but okay ), got caught in her cheating entrapment services and found out, among other things

also someone that doesn’t like her who she’s desperately trying to get their acceptance of for whatever reason

some found family b/c i’m always a sucker for that, or actual family 

party friends! among so much more that i can’t think of, but let’s brainstorm!

okay that’s all i got, thank you for your time if you got this far ♡

[letsplayballet]

think all the ppl who would care about this have already heard my thoughts in the discord, but it's tradition at this point so. p4g thoughts (up through about-to-start the second dungeon)!:

starting off with a full confession of i have not been letting myself have high expectations for this game? p5 was extremely up my alley in terms of aesthetics/music/themes, and i could tell long before i really considered getting into it that p4 was not going to hit that same chord of yes-good-but-also that has made me obsess over p5 for the last 5 years. it would be unfair to compare it to p5 (they're different games with different stories and different goals) so i've been really trying to go into it with an open mind and appreciate it on it's own merits!

that being said... i was def right and while i've been enjoying the game (for the most part) it hasn't caught me the same way, and i keep finding myself thinking "where the fuck are my kids" lol

i am getting more and more into it the further i play tho! played for nearly 10 hours yesterday and was already more invested by the end of the day than the beginning, so i'm hoping that continues

mentioned this in another post but as much as i hate the "best friend (who is a perv and an asshole but we treat it like it's funny and likable)" archetype, yosuke is so far more tolerable than ryuji. he's been weird about yukiko, and an ass to chie, and i can tell he's gonna be weird about kanji, but he's at least focused on and dedicated to solving the case instead of being a huge glory hound, and occasionally has any self-awareness whatsoever

i really like chie tho! hate the weird focus in her confidant social link so far about "am i girly enough? :(" but she's very sweet and funny and crits a lot

haven't spent a lot of time with yukiko but i have a hunch i'll enjoy her fine

as much as these kids are starting to grow on me, they def shine... solo, which is unfortunate. all of the team "banter" so far that isn't directly about the case is chie and yosuke seeming to really hate each other, which uh. sucks. i want friends, please tell me they become friends.

also frustrating is the mid-00s gender essentialism and homophobia, which is becoming Prominent as we get into kanji's part of the story

p5 def had its moments (looking directly at you shinjuku gays) (and at ryuji) (and at the beach scenes) but Fuck

anyway. side characters! love em.

nanako is precious and i would kill and die for her

i also really love yumi!! her rank 3 was Rough and i loved it. i'm going to try to wait on romancing decisions but she's an early lead (if she's even allowed? no idea what options are available here tbh)

sorry dojima but acab, you don't deserve the hierophant

the combat is quite a bit simpler than p5, but also way simpler than nocturne, just in very different ways. it's still smt/persona combat, so i still love it, but i miss the complexity from p5r specifically (tho appreciate the more streamlined nature compared to nocturne, especially given the fewer quality of life mechanics)

all in all, general fewer quality of life mechanics, which is annoying but expected so it's not really detracting from my enjoyment

still having fun! hope to keep having fun

#quinn plays p4g #gonna play more today and also maybe do laundry (but i don't feel. great. so i'm not gonna stress on that too much) #we're A Ways from finishing so i'm not letting myself get too optimistic but it's going well so far is the tl;dr #expect a few more of these posts! have done them for every game so far and am not gonna stop now #this one is spoiler free i think? spoiler lite def #especially for me lol #p4g

okay first things first i’m gonna nip this in the bud. if ur like excuse? iu in fuse? ur coocoo for cocoa puffs for that one. u would be right! and i intend to prove to u that she Is fitting. example a-z demonstrates an at home kiki and a fuse ki. thank me later for all this pretty laydee content

background

may 28th, 1994 ya girl is a gemini

from seattle

born to a pediatric surgeon and a software engineer (who specializes in ai bc her mom is Cool) kiana developed a love for science... then tossed it away to be A Star

not immediately though

really it all stems from the desire to be unique in a positive way

with seattle’s large east asian population, she was lumped together with everyone else, and places where she stood out, kids made fun of her for

she felt like an outcast in every sense of the word, which is why when A Boy gave her the genuine time of day, she latched on

they quickly became bad for each other, codependent at its best

kiana’s lil ass rly thought they were romeo and juliet torn apart when her parents made them break up

she kept sneaking out to see him, and eventually it became troublesome enough that her parents decided to move the fam to korea

heartbroken and with the desire to feel desired, she auditioned for gold star

since she was young, she had dance classes, just as her mom did before giving it up for something more stable

dance isn’t what drove her as much as the feeling of a crowd being entertained by her

trained for 3 years, gold star had high hopes for her given her dance background + looks, hence her role in impulse’s a

a couple years after debut, the company manages to snag her an ost, and when that does well, they shove her onto as many osts as possible, but it manages to do basically nothing to help her or fuse’s fame, no matter the impact of the song itself, and they slow down on trying

that *big bad wolf vc* my dears, is what sets up her overall Thing, that no matter what she does, or how many people claim to love her, they don’t show up for her as a solo celebrity

it leaves her a little dejected, fearful, worried, but idol life isn’t something she minds doing anyway. part of her still wants to strive for more attention, and claw her way there, because she aches terribly to feel special and different, and to a degree, idol life will always give that to her

personality

the archetype of the kid in middle school who calls themselves L and only draws in anime style and comes to school in cosplay and naruto runs around and randomly speaks japanese........ yeah, that was kiana as a kid

and really, she’s only let the problematic parts of it go. she’s still a big fat weeb (& has lots of other fandom type interests too)

an internet kid, someone who never got a big following. draws fanart, has written fanfiction, engages on fan forums. stays at home unless she’s dragged out by friends

she’s a very Normal, Everyday type person in most ways, and that bugs her to no end

she’s someone who as a kid thought she had superpowers, like full on believed it, and to this day still thinks well maybe it’s just not kicked in yet

considers herself ~an empath~ because she naturally has very strong emotions, and seeing or “feeling” the emotions of others makes her feel that way too. that includes positive And negative emotions

she can and is wrong about what she “feels” from others, but the emotional effect on herself is still the same

and because that happens so much, kiana retreats into herself

she has a very small inner circle, and isn’t very interested in more than surface level relationships with most people because it’s exhausting to feel so much all of the time

that means usually, most people meeting her will meet someone who can be doin a little doodle, you’ll say hi, she’ll say hi back, then go right back to her doodle

she’s Nice and polite enough, but doesn’t take those first steps. some ppl might view her coldly bc of it

HOWEVA if someone were to bring up one of her ~special interests, she would come off like a completely different person

animated, kinda loud, won’t shut up. that’s more often the type of person her inner circle gets to see

she’s also a reversal of the hard shell soft inside trope, as a lot of her outward self and personality can seem soft, gentle, maybe even naive depending on someone’s view, but there is a core to her affection thats... dangerous

but i’ll leave that for the dms

and finally, here’s a phat list of personality traits that apply to kiana, depending on her relationships with who she’s talking to and how she’s feeling. yes some are complete opposites. see: gemini. if you wanna kno how to get a certain trait from her, i’ll be glad to explain

abnormal, apathetic, artistic, clingy, contradictory, dedicated, demure, disorganized, earnest, effeminate, emotional, empathetic, excitable, fanatical, guarded, hesitant, insecure, introverted, jealous, loyal, mercurial, modest, neat, needy, nervous, numb, obsessive, organized, overthinking, passionate, persevering, protective, quiet, romantic, scatterbrained, silly, stubborn, tactful, temperamental, vigilant, vivacious, volatile, wall flower, withdrawn

fun fax

claims her style inspiration is the 70s but really mixes in influences from ~the 40s to 80s

if she’s dressing herself, heavily prefers skirts and dresses over pants

doesn’t like being touched unless she’s really close with someone, then she likes a lot of it

plant mom. apartment basc a greenhouse

insists one day she will make her own jam but has yet to get around to it so she just has a bunch of jars in her apartment and uses them for plants and paper clip holders and the like

her fictional character romantic Type is the tsundere. is convinced fictional characters are the best dating partners

always wears glasses when at home, and a good amount of the time when not working in general

her mario kart main is link bc nostalgia and valuing a strong stat set that favors zoom zoom

the furthest she goes for environmental impact is always using a hydroflask

prefers having bangs and hair with a wave

always carries bandaids and bandages in her bag because she gets eczema patches when she’s stressed and it’s Embarrassing to her so she covers em up

#fmdintro #'condensed' i say #tbf this muse is well over a year old i just have a lot to say abt her #i luv her v much

reema eqab <3

Reema Eqab is a 20-year-old artist studying in Pensacola, Florida. She focuses on expressing human emotion through vibrant visuals.  This interview was recorded in October of 2017.

How long you have you called yourself an artist and felt secure with that title? What does an artist look like to you? Who do you admire artistically?

Ever since I could remember, I’ve had a big interest in art making, but I actually started to believe in my abilities when I started high school. This is also when I became more serious about it and felt comfortable and confident in calling myself an artist. To me, an artist is one who feels as though they absolutely need to create. A true artist buries themselves into their work, and feels the need to make art like it is dependent on their health and well being. If I’m not making art, then I’m thinking about it, or familiarizing myself with other artists and their work. Some of the artists that I admire include Rita Gomes, Shanna Van Maurik, Joy Miessi, Julia Rothman, and Kindah Khalidy.

Did your ethnic background and you being an artist conflict? Explain an instance. Are there any other artists in your family?

The two didn’t conflict until I graduated high school and decided to try to make a career out of art. I received endless feedback and advice from my family; Mainly from the men. My uncles commend my strong will, because not many women have it, but advise me to pursue a career that would benefit my “future family.” Having kids has never been my interest, so hearing them say that over and over again made me even more headstrong. There is definitely a creative gene in my family, but there are no other artists. In my opinion, most of my family limit themselves by doing exactly what everyone else does/tells them to do.

Have you felt stifled by your family’s traditional ideas of what it means to be a woman? Or their idea of femininity?

This has always been a predominant struggle with my family. To them, a woman is delicate and pure, and her main purpose is to marry, reproduce, and serve the family. I’ve always felt the need to fight this portrayal, and did so by being as unconventional as possible to the people that think this way. For example, I never dress like I’m “put together” or prim, and growing up I would work at my dad’s convenience store, unlike the other girl cousins my age. I hate for anyone to think that I’m weak or there for show; This is not how I see women.

Do you feel like you will have true peace with yourself and your art when you have been ingrained with their ideas for so long? Is there hope for other artists who feel this? What piece of advice would you offer them?

I don’t think that I will ever be fully at peace with their beliefs and ideals constantly clawing at the back of my head, but I use this discordance to my advantage by feeding it directly into my art. I think that the only way for similar artists to succeed through this is for them to hang on to their passions and have a strong, undying will. Without this, there is little hope.

How do you perceive yourself? Is this perception altered when you create?

As well as being strong, passionate, and kind, I am sad and anxious. When I make art, I try to show these emotions, but sometimes I feel like the passion may come off too strong and be perceived as mean or aggressive. I feel that especially when I include feelings of heartbreak or anything political, but I think that in the end everything balances out. I let other eyes see my work, and the response normally matches what I originally intended.

When starting a new piece, do you find yourself repeating any themes? If so, what are they?

Some of the underlying themes in my works include repression, depression, feminism, and heartbreak. I definitely find myself incorporating these themes into most of my art, along with how I deal with them. Art is like my therapy, so everything I feel is let loose in my work.

What do you wish to explore/expose with your art?

In my current state of mind, I wish to make aware certain issues regarding feminism and human decency. I like to show how I believe humans should treat each other, as well as make art that people can relate to. I love helping people, so I hope to help by sharing experiences/thoughts and how I handle problems. In the future, I plan on trying to show more political themes, because most people seem to be under a blind spell and I believe that being aware is extremely important. Maybe my lively and colorful art will soften the informational blow?

What is your struggle with art and society? Art and family? Art and yourself?

I don’t like to rely on people, but art seems to be heavily dependent on acceptance. In order to make money, people have to like your work, and that makes me feel constrained and controlled. A struggle I have with my family and my art is that I feel like I have to hide most of it from them, because certain thoughts or images are ones that differ from their beliefs. Some of my work includes images of the nude female figure, and in order to not receive judgment, I don’t display these pieces, or I’ll turn them around if either of my parents try to enter my room. When I had first started college, my mom was heavily involved in my course schedule and school, and didn’t allow me to take the nude figure portion of my drawing 2 class. My relationship with art is much more comfortable than it used to be, despite the problems that I receive from my family and society’s interpretation of my art. I am able to be this way because I allow myself to be completely vulnerable in my work.

Your work has very pigmented pinks, and are overall very colorful. Yet your text indicates an instance of the male gaze/expectations others project on you. Is this a conscious juxtaposition of subject matter with color or do you just enjoy pink?

It makes me happy to see that someone else notices this! It is definitely intentional, and I’ve always thought that this pairing mirrors the way that I see myself. A glance or a quick overlook of my work implies that it’s very positive and happy, but when looked at more closely, one could see that it’s most likely different from what they thought it was. I also have a true admiration for color, especially very vibrant color, and recently started using pink because I never had before, and I discovered that I really enjoy it. Pink is typically perceived as a “girly” color, so I incorporate it to kind of support femininity in a way.

Do you think art can ever encapsulate the feeling of heartache or the depths of any human emotion? Should it?

There are so many different kinds of heartaches and types of people and ways to handle heartache, so I don’t think that there could ever be a way for art to fully grasp these feelings. Heartache is the main topic in my sketchbooks and more private work, and I follow a lot of pages on Instagram that also include this theme. These people are always able to conjure up a grouping of words in a way that fully describes a feeling I might have in a way that I would have never thought. If art were able to fully encompass this feeling or any other feeling, I wouldn’t be able to see much of a point in making it.

In an age of social media, do you find yourself validating one piece over another due to how many “likes” it received?

Social media is an integral part in the success of an artist. Although I do pay attention to likes, I no longer use this as a factor for judging my work because I am confident enough in myself to know whether or not a work of mine is successful or not. If I was able to learn something from a work that I created, then it is successful.

You also do some work with fabric and embroidery, is this medium more challenging? What do you enjoy about it?

For me this is definitely more challenging. It’s tedious and detail-oriented, whereas, with my other work, I can let loose and produce quicker results. I like making this type of art because anything wearable is typically more likely to be purchased, and it gives me a way to express myself with my appearance. I’ve also learned that it’s a great way to advertise myself. Dressing artistically/wacky makes people compliment or make a verbal note of it, which allows me to claim that I created it, and then most people will ask for my Instagram so that they can purchase or see more.

What song do you think mimics your art/ what song makes you feel an emotion you want to translate as intensely into your art?

There isn’t really just one song that I can refer to, but artists such as Lianne La Havas, Beach House, Lykke Li, and Tame Impala create music that generates relatable feelings that I like to show in my art. I made a triptych print at the beginning of the year called “Sadness, Depression, Anxiety” that contained three quotes from three songs, and I remember admiring the way that those artists were able to creatively construct their words into phrases that perfectly portrayed how I was feeling at the time. This ultimately led to me putting more words and phrases into my own work. I am not so great with words, but I try to be by analyzing music, and following artists on Instagram that make their artwork around their words, such as the artist Joy Miessi. Arabic was my first language, so there are some words that I feel only really and perfectly have their effect when said in Arabic, and this can be a pain because I don’t know how to successfully apply English words as meaningfully. My private Instagram account dedicated to my sketchbook pages helps me acknowledge quotes that I find, and also helps me try to make art out of my own words because this is a big interest of mine.

Uni anon: Ah! Thanks for your tips. I tried the bullet journal thing too but got overwhelmed by how much dedication it needed so I really had to step back and make it work to my needs. If you don't mind, may I ask a few more questions? 1. How do you know when you've studied enough for one night? Not referring to assignments but just studying? 2. Do you study all your courses every night or switch it? 3. Got any study tips?

Yeah I literally write down daily schedule, my assignment due dates, and random shit I need to remember like making a grocery list or paying a bill. I don’t have time to make a beautiful work of art nor do I have the talent lmao. It really depends on what you’re studying for and the level of understanding you have in the specific course. If you’re studying for a quiz there’s usually chapter quizzes in your text book (or your proof offers a practice exam--most of mine do) that you can take over and over to gauge your knowledge. When I’m studying sections or chapters I tend to do any type of practice problems at the end of the chapter (if the course has it). I did that a lot with my logic class last semester because I struggled with it and it helped improved my exam grades. Everyone is different some people can study for ten minutes and understand everything while others are meticulous and need to comb over everything more than once. Depending on the subject I fall in the middle, so it’s best to go off of what you’ve retained and what you haven’t. If you bomb a practice quiz then study the material you go wrong! If you do really well but don’t have the exam for a few days go over the chapter for half an hour once a day or something minimal just to keep it fresh. Or make note cards and randomly quiz yourself on your down time. If there’s no quiz in site ask your teacher, ask your roommate, ask your fucking self to throw some questions at you and see if you can answer them!I study courses depending on when the due dates for the assignments are. This semester two of my classes start Mondays and the other is Tuesday, so I tend to do my coursework for the Monday classes between Monday-Tuesday and the tuesday class I do thursday-friday to give myself a day break in between to lounge around or catch up on monday class work if I wasn’t able to get as far as I needed. It also depends on your course load. This semester is easy subjects for me whereas last semester I studied my logic coursework every night because of how terrible I was at it. I can probably skate by with sticking to my monday-tuesday/thursday-friday schedule which leaves my weekends open to do any last minute stuff. (I also work the most on weekends--gotta love that retail management life). If all else fails I whip an essay out of my asshole in two hours before its due and then hate myself the next day but YOLO. Ahh. I’m such a basic girl when I study lmao.Distractions are my biggest hindrance tbh I literally have to mute discord, my phone, and ignore tumblr. Which I am clearly doing super well at right now. I tend to like...set the mood for myself too..if that makes sense lmao. I love working at my desk and I have it set up all cute with all my pink girly shit and anime shit and ridiculous unicorn mousepad, but working in this space makes me happy and keeps my mood up.I drink wine--is it bad, probably, but I like having a glass of red wine if all I’m doing is taking notes on lectures or writing something that doesn’t take a lot of brain power like outines or essays. (For me these are easy, everyone else probably has a different set of easy school things). Get tea or coffee or wine or juice or whatever makes your tongue happy and keep it by your desk.Mothafucking flash cards. Third graders use this shit for a reason they fucking work. They’re portable, cheap, hell you can make them out of notebook paper and fucking glitter DIY that shit nice and pretty if it’ll help you study more. I use notecards when I’m getting ready for quizzes (I had three piles last semester for ONE class), or just want to study when I have ten minutes to spare. Need to memorize dates? Flashcards. Need to memorize formulas? Flashcards. Need to memorize fucking plant names? FLASH CARDS. CHEAP. GOOD. PORTABLE (like me)Music. Silence can be creepy and distracting or lead to distractions. Any music that helps fam. Radio disney, trap murderhouse disco shit, classical, fucking fyodor grinding on a cello, LISTEN TO WHAT HELPS. If you live with other people invest in some comfy squish over the ear headphones especially if you’re going to be using them for an extended period of time. WASH THEM THO FAM DONT LET THEM GET ICKY.
