saw a lost ark Q&A on Twitter (made by a Korean Twitter user named Shushire, can't find their original post... found it by someone reposting it) and I want to do it so here it is!!
(I Google translated all the questions so they are not 100% accurate)
1. The reason you why started playing Lost Ark?
I was waiting for Blue Protocol (still waiting for it) and had no major mmo to play so I tried Lost Ark out. never thought it would suck me in so bad tbh
2. Favorite class?
At the moment, Esoteric Flurry Striker/Casting Reflux Sorceress
Most likely would fall in love with Arcana when it comes out in July (literally saving all my mats now in preparation for it, tbh I think I’ll even switch mains for it)
3. Prettiest skin in your opinion?
Going by what we have currently, the Dawn skin for scrapper 👀 holy crap its so good it almost made me make a scrapper (but then I learnt it was undyable and was like nvm, its still gorgeous though)
4. Favorite skin?
The Banquet skins for men, all 3 versions of them 😭 I love them so much and was about to buy a third one for my pally and a fourth one for my future scouter but the crystal prices......
5. Favorite region?
Rohendel, hands down no questions asked. Vern is a very close second (totally not because of Thar/Lahart being there)
Rohendel main story quests are sooooo looooong but damn I love how pretty it looks and the aesthetic
If island, I actually love Shangra. Would've taken a lot of screenshots there if I wasn't busy farming for dews and peaches all the time 😂
6. Best looking ultimate?
I haven't played all the available classes (played sorc, bard, pally, gunlance, striker and sharpshooter) but among those 6 I played, sorceress apocalypse call makes me feel like a badass, who doesn't love summoning a meteor shower?? (too bad Enviska’s Might is better for general content)
7. Prefer melee or range?
Honestly I love both but at the moment, ranged because ping 😂 easier to dodge mechanics and still deal damage
8. Prefer burst dps or continuous dps? (not sure if they're asking this because of Google translate tbh but I'll pretend they're asking this for now)
Continuous dps, more reliable and don't have to worry about missing the dps window
9. Favorite NPC?
Thar/Lahart ❤️ I'm a Thar/Lahart simp so of course he would be my favorite 😂
(Thirain is calling for me in the background but I'm ignoring him until he gets over his four letter word allergy)
10. Favorite OST?
Song of Starlight... the amount of fic ideas I have because of that song is INSANE
Brelshaza/Albreshud legion raid OST is a very close second, followed by funny clown man legion raid OST
11. Rapport gift you'd like to receive
I love pearls so transparent pearls I guess?
12. Favorite emote?
THAT STAR DANCE THING YOU GET FROM AMETHYST SHARDS 😭 I don't have it yet but I saw my guildie use it and I was like ok I need that
13. Favorite screenshot?
Oh this one is a hard one... I have so many so I’ll leave this question for last
14. Current title?
Thar's Romanticist. will change to Thar's Sun when I finally finish 100 Punika Sun level 3 or above chaos dungeon runs
(I wanted Thar's Rider but the Rider title is currently unobtainable in the game so 😭 crying over what could've been)
15. Hardest raid?
With our current content and at the appropriate item level?
If abyssals, definitely Alaric's Sanctuary. Made me lose my shit many times back then 😂
If guardian raids, Velganos hands down no questions asked (If they ever add a Velganos challenge guardian raid... BYE I AM SKIPPING)
Favorite screenshots
If cutscene screenshots:
If selfie mode screenshots:
If dialogue screenshots... I have a compilation lmao
Yeah.... the Sylvians in this game have me on a tight grip AND I DON’T MIND (I’m still doing Azena’s rapport but I just KNOW she will have me on a chokehold too)

Ride 738: Towards to scorching hot stage!!
Pag 1
The climax of the training camp arc!!
Pag 2
The incandescent battle is starting!!
Sohoku, towards the Inter High!!
Pag 3
4: It's so hot
It's so hot suddenly!!
I can't do this anymore, I'll take a two hours break
I'm your buddy, so I'l also take a two hours break!!
5: The weather on the third day of training camp....
Pag 4
1: is scorching hot
Pag 5
3: Kakaka it's pouring out!!
Pouring out!!
5: Sweat!!
Pag 6
1: Finding shade and running like this seriously exhausts our stamina!!
2: Yeah!!
5: Murakamii!!
Pag 7
1: Yessir!
3: Thanks!!
Thank you!!
Pag 8
1: Kaa....!! Cold water feels so good...!!
Hyaaa.... it works..!!
2: The standard spots to pour water on yourself are face, head, and back, Onoda-kun
Putting it in yous stomach also feels so good, but
3: In one shot you'll upset your stomach and then a toilet hell will await you
O-okay!! Scary...
4: Alright, we're refreshed!! Let's raise the pace again, Onoda-kun!!
Okay!!
Pag 9
1: Naruko-san....
3: Incredible... the senpais aren't taking a break and keep running
Despite how hot it is...
4: By the way, have you noticed?
Huh?
Their jerseys
5: Since this training camp started, the senpais
6: have been wearing long-sleeved jerseys
Pag 10
1: Why!? Ah! It's true, Imaizumi-san... and Kaburagi-san too
They should just take it off, since it's so hot
2: Is it a way of training?
Like carrying a burden to power up?
A heavy burden
3: I'm sorry... my left knee hurts
Is that so?
4: I was overly optimistic... I thought that if I did a good job.... and succeed in this training camp, then I'd be one of the six members
But....
5: To overcome everything and keep fighting, you need physical preparation
6: Just being cunning won't open the way
7: I understand, I accept your retiring
But
Pag 11
1: You'll work behind the scenes for the last two days
There's a lot of work to do behind the scenes, and this time you'll do it with all your strength!!
3: If you want to become stronger, you have to study and watch other run, too
Observe, discover. There are things you can only discover when you're not pedaling
4: Not a single second is a moment you can't learn!!
5: It might be the first time I meet such an intense senpai...
“Learn”.... Naruko-san....
6: I want to become stronger, I'll do my best
Let's add ice
7: The jerseys have a meaning too, I'm sure
It's not just a careless burden
Pag 12
1: There's something!!
Human bodis have the ability to adapt
2: From spring to summer
3: From autumn to winter, we meet seasonal changes and adapt
We do it two times a year
4: The body naturally creates its own system to face the hot and cold according to the climate
5: Just like during summer the leaves grow green and thickly
6: While during winter the leaves fall
7: You can't see it with your eyes, bt our skin, bones, sweat glands, and muscles, go through dramatic changes
Pag 13
1: The proof is that, during summer, 10° are so cold you feel like freezing, but during winter it feels warm
2: To force that adaptation faster, that's the meaning of these long-sleeved jerseys!!
3: Adapting takes time. So we're adapting to heat earlier to prepare for the summer Inter High!! Our bodies too!!
4: Yeah!!
5: After all, this year's summer is gonna be our third Inter High!!
Pag 16
3: Kyushu, Kumamoto Prefecture, Mount Aso
Pag 17
1: Do you know? A long time ago.... they say that here, as far as your eyes could see, there was a hugh volcano surrounding this scenery
2: Huh, really?
When humans still hunted with stone tools
3: There were four big explosions and the mountain collapsed in the magma pit
4: With a diameter of 25km, it's the largest caldera in the world.... and it made this outer rim of the crater
So, the cities, roads, and fields we can see from here, inside the muntain?
Yeah
Pag 18
1: I can feel it, somehow....
The breath of the earth
2: With my whole body... yon!!
3: Fou!! Really!? I can only see this huge scenery....
!! No, I can feel it...!! Fou
Pag 19
1: This splendid scenery and steep slopes
2: This magnificent nature
3: An unpaved side road that appears from time to time
4: We came to.... inspect the race's course
5: and chose a “road bike”, but
6: Ah!! I get it!! I was thinking about it now!!
7: I wish we had bought our “mountain bikes”, yon!!
Fou!!
There's so many roads that make me want to run!!
I totally get that!!
Pag 20
1: Our third and last Inter High will be in the scorching hot Kyushu!! In the “land of fire”, Kumamoto
2: Mount Aso
Pag 21
1: will be our stage!!
Pag 22
1: It's gonna be a hot one, this Inter High!!
2: It's burning up
3: Our final last stage

GOOD MORNING (now evening)
today i awoke and chose violence. i wanna talk a bit about the AU @bishicat and I have. ~inspired~ by the 5 songs, 3 outfits taggame!
EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
[...]
We will find you
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the
Most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
[...]
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
I'm so glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
[...]
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the—
Say that you'll never, never, never, never need it
name of the AU, basically it's about change, within oneself, within a friend group, within the world. and about accepting that change - or fighting against it. each member of the trio (or V³ as we like to call em) thinks their way of living is the right one.
V(alerie) is hellbent on not backing down and staying right where she is
V(incent) thinks getting away from the city and the people who hurt him is the best choice
V(ivienne) wants more from life, money, fancy clothes and power
TOWNIE
There's a party and we're all going
And we're all growing up
Somebody's driving and he will be drinking
And no one's going back
'Cause we've tried hungry and we've tried full and
Nothing seems enough
[...]
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
name of the pairing for V³ - the song is about growing up and changing. (AGAIN)
bishi actually picked that one and i was on board right away, it was important to me that we pick a song we both like (the more rock-y feel of that song also helped lmao)
RYAN & DAVE
Ryan and Dave are rabble rousin', teenage cousins
Difference is Dave has an off switch, and Ryan doesn't
20 years later now Dave behaves rank and file
And Ryan's a burnt out adult, last gasp, wild child
guess what this one is about! CHANGE! (are you tired of it yet?) mostly it is about viv picking a different path than v though - one stayed exactly where she has always been while the other chose to change.
ALSO in the music video they are DOGS and we love a dog motif
6:26 in the morning, didn't need alarm
I couldn't sleep a wink, I'm betting my whole farm
Left Dave's place at eight, just drove, didn't really talk
I shook his hand and popped the door to make the walk
Applied for admission at the detox shop
Got to the door it said open, ten o'clock
It's freezing out, no way that I can make it to ten
Look back at my truck at my only real friend
some time ago we talked about viv helping v on her healing journey (girlie cannot catch a break from being a babysitter even after she got johnny a body LMAO) and even though v never ends up at rehab (maybe that will change) it still fits pretty well.
NEVER LET ME DOWN AGAIN
I'm taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride with my best friend
[...]
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground
[...]
See the stars, they're shining bright (never let me down)
Everything's alright tonight (never let me down)
V³ had a pretty big fight at one point. viv was always going to leave for arasaka but v never understood or accepted it. they argued for hours and when vincent didn't chose her side, v stormed off to go on a weeklong bender.
when she returned the flat was empty, both her siblings had left -and betrayed her.
naturally, viv also felt betrayed by her childhood friend, all she asked for was support but instead she got called a traitor.
i like to imagine this song plays on the radio one day after their reunion
THE KIDS AREN'T ALRIGHT
When we were young, the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up, but their lives are worn
How can one little street swallow so many lives?
TO ME this is THE streetkid song but it hits hard especially in this universe.
as i mentioned before V³ thinks they picked the right path, they aren't gonna be beat (and honestly vincent is the only one who succeeded).
viv had a good run but then she got kicked from the corp, lost her newest best friend, DIED and now has a whole other person stuck in her skull.
v was stubborn, was homeless for a bit and is overall in a bad way (but then again, that's the only way she knows how to live so it's not as bad TO HER)
AS ABOVE, SO BELOW
THIS IS A BIG ONE SO BUCKLE IN FOLKS
bishi and i had been talking about a personal quest for v and we ended up on this:
one day they are driving somewhere while listening to the radio when a host teases a special treat! they have exclusive rights to the music of NC born and bred band Rotten! (yeah you guessed it! V's band)
naturally this fills her with pure rage and viv knows this isn't going to end well (babysitting time!) v knows exactly who did this and is hellbent on rectifying this (there is more but yall are gonna have to wait for the day i decide to write it lmao)
As Above, So Below is the name of the job! it is a song that v wrote but only she knows about it.
while viv wasn't a band member she was there for it's founding and a few first concerts, she filmed a lot of it and even ran the merch stand a bit
I won't lie, it's quite temptin'
Your handouts and your bones
I won't lie, they're quite empty
Your promises and your stones
If you sell, they'll buy
Don't feel, just sign
If you sell, they'll buy
Don't think, stay blind
Give me the control
Just sign on the dotted line
Give me the control
He whispered softly
Give me the control
You're crawling inside my mind
Give me the control
Don't you fight me?
As above, so below
What you reap is what you sow
What you give comes back three fold
As above, so below
YES the song is about v not wanting to sign with a label and it is her final fuck you to the world of music. in reality that song is incredibly underproduced since by the time it was recorded the band had already broken up. v did ALL of it: singing, instruments, songwriting. editing magic made it come to life.
depending on how it ends (yes there are multiple outcomes) viv will receive a shard with ALL of rotten's music, including THIS unreleased song and even some backstage footage from way back in the day when viv was still around.
See I've danced with the enemy
We have secrets, no one knows
Yeah, I've danced with my enemy
I wore her skin and her clothes
honourable mention because this part is very viv coded
instead of outfits i present you! some soul crushing quotes! i hope you enjoy! :3c
