2023 Writer Year in Review

It’s time for a late 2023 review post where I reflect on life, the universe and my author career. I did one last year which makes a good benchmark. Let’s see how I did!

2023 Goals vs Actual

Finish the next two books in the Revenant Records series

Completed half of this. I got Feral Night out, and I’m working on the third book in the series. Not quite at the stage of getting two to three books out per year. But I’m happy with the book I released—it’s a solid improvement over Final Night (which I still think is a pretty good first author book!) Currently, I’m knee deep in the entrails of book 3. I got ambitious and I’m attempting a puzzle mystery with two POVs which is slowing me down as I work through everything. I also won’t put this up for pre-order until it’s 100 percent finished, which includes proofing covers, backmatter—the works!

Complete twelve issues of the monthly newsletter

Done! I’ve kept the newsletter going. Still writing it in character, as it’s more fun that way. (In character? Check it out!)

Submit original short stories to magazines

This did not happen. I went through my old backlog of shorts and found a sword-and-sorcery-ish story that might be worthy of magazine submission with a bit of polishing.

Write a proper Lukie-focused short as a reader magnet

Done! It’s always good when your giveaway story relates to your in-progress series. You can grab Fiery Night here as a newsletter sign-up bonus.

I would like to do a second, completely free short for a wide release and even have an idea for one. Will do this later, but not prioritize it.

Streamline my automation sequence for the newsletter

This was a bit of admin that I kept putting off, but it’s done now. Need to improve and develop the sequence further.

Engage an artist for some character/concept sketches + learn to draw

I got some done by a talented artist for my newsletter which are fantastic, but I won’t be happy with sketches until I can draw my own characters competently. This year, I did a few simple art courses at my local community college and attended a few live drawing sessions. This year, I’ll keep practicing. I also signed up for an online drawing academy by clicking on a random Facebook ad and going “Hey, that’s not too bad” (I know, I know). Was stymied also by Apple Pencil breaking, and had to revert to the less technical Graphite Pencil.

Social media, book reviews

I continue to be inconsistent with social media. I do this ad hoc posts, but a meh presence on social media. Not good at the funny meme stuff, and my book-a-year schedule means I can’t do too much around launches. I tried many social medias in 2023. I should pick something and be consistent.

2024 Goals

Okay, here we go. In 2024, I’m going to simplify my list. In fact, I had a more complicated list. Start a subscription! Work on the tabletop roleplaying set in the Vestiges of Magic world, do more drawing, and then when I got some strategic advice which was...

Write the next book... No side projects?

And that’s my core goal for next year!

Finish Revenant Records #3 - Fractured Night

Still in progress. At first it was a puzzle mystery and now it’s more about the characters. The premise is like the Shining crossed with a dark faerie tale....

Start the 2024 web serial, do a chapter a month

I completed a web serial last year, which I’m sitting on until I get more material out to launch a series with it. (Having launched a series on the fly, my next series will have a bit more material ready to go before I launch.) This will be in my newsletter and on my website. I’ve got about four chapters done. The premise: a woman seeks the help of a supernatural assassin to avenge her murdered daughter, but the assassin she needs to help her has retired....

hey luki im very interested in becoming a director and majoring in film. personally, my family doesn’t support it because it’s “not a safe job market” and im very aware it’s competitive, i just don’t care?? idk i feel like film is what i want to do but i’d like to explain to them that’s it’s actually not as scary as they think? any tips or advice on majoring in film? also, how did you know you wanted to do film ?

hello!!! first i would say to your family this is like the perfect time to study film. there's jobs everywhere. before it was hard to get jobs because only production companies would determine what was filmed and what not, but now everything is more available and accesible. you can work in film, in tv, in streaming, in youtube, in publicity, in videogames, there are endless possibilities for someone who majors in film today. if your goal is to eventually work in fiction (like mine is) starting small and working in other stuff is actually really helpful to expand your horizons, because big films are still a competitive field to get into. but if they have to choose between you and someone else, if you have a diversified portfolio under your belt they probably will hire you.

my advice on going through film school is this: you're not there to make friends. yes you will make them and it's a wonderful thing, but don't go in with that mindset. 90% of all assignments will be group projects. you need to find people you can work with. that means they speak the same language as you (creatively speaking), and they have the same work ethic as you. you can make friends with them after that. but there's nothing worse than having a screaming match with a friend in the middle of a shoot because they were too lazy to bring a battery charger and now the entire working day is lost. my other advice is MAKE INVENTORY OF EVERYTHING!!! yes even how many pens you're bringing to a shoot!!! you'll thank me later. oh and always have paper tape. it will save your life.

and lastly, it took me a long time to accept i wanted to study film. both my parents are movie directors and they teach at a university so you can guess the amount of issues™ i've had about it. i tried the STEM route because i had the brains for it, but in the end that didn't make me happy. what i discovered in film school is that even when i'm at my absolute limit, dying of stress, haven't slept in two days, absolutely exhausted and still have a week of effort to go, i'm still enjoying it. i actively enjoy the effort i put on it. it feels rewarding. it genuinely makes me happy no matter how frustrated or angry i get. i enjoy every step of the process.

i didn't know that right away. i actually got really depressed one year into a physics major and i decided i would change to film. it was kind of a jump in the dark, because what if i wasn't happy there either?? it took me almost two years to realize that it does make me happy. im so glad i took that jump because even if i never make it big, i will still be doing what makes me happy.

#i hope this helped!!!#any other questions you have don't hesitate to ask!!!#good luck!!#luki's college life

So you’ve mentioned that Stitch and Lilo had a falling out but after 10 years of being apart Lilo’s daughter brings them back together. How was their reunion? It sounds like the two have some issues that need to be worked out so I’m guessing the reunion wasn’t all hugs and kisses.

Also do the residents of Kauai finally realize all the weird “dogs” running around are actually aliens? If so does that mean eventually the rest of humanity acknowledges the existence of aliens?

"How was their reunion? It sounds like the two have some issues that need to be worked out so I’m guessing the reunion wasn’t all hugs and kisses." uh W E L L .

If you want to see their "official" reunion, you'd just go to Youtube and watch the English dub of the Stitch! anime episode called "Lilo". But even if that isn't canon, it would be kinda similar. It was hugs. It was definitely hugs. Lilo and Stitch desperately missed one another for those years they were apart, and Lilo explained right away that she never forgot about him, and Stitch told her how much he'd missed her. They both acknowledge it was all a big misunderstanding, and Stitch knows he belongs with Lilo, so it was a no-brainer to decide that the past is past and to go home to Hawaii. READ MORE ANGST UNDER THE CUT!

Now, just because they've acknowledged it was a misunderstanding, that was still at least 14 years of hurt and resentment and grief for both of them. (4 years of Lilo being in college, where they fought each other super often, and then the 10 years after Stitch left). "Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten." Stitch still has some "forgotten" feelings he needs to address when it comes to Lilo, and Lilo still has some "left behind" feelings she needs to address when it comes to Stitch. They're best friends and they'd do anything for each other. But the fact is that, even if you ignore the awful things they said to one another while Lilo was in college, Lilo was still late to meet Stitch and had been making him feel neglected for a while by then. And Stitch still left her, heartbroken, and didn't come back until they reunited by accident.

Yes, they want to put it all behind them and move forward and love one another with no baggage whatsoever, like when they were younger, but they can't yet. Forgiving means you don't hold it against the other person, and Stitch can't quite stop thinking about the feeling of standing alone on that beach. Lilo can't quite look at Stitch and believe he's actually there with her, like he's really gonna stay. It's very messed up, but that's what happens when you're focused on yourself and you don't communicate. They're okay! They'll be even better once they really learn to forgive each other for what happened and how long it took to be okay again. "Also do the residents of Kauai finally realize all the weird “dogs” running around are actually aliens? If so does that mean eventually the rest of humanity acknowledges the existence of aliens?" Eh, humanity doesn't acknowledge the existence of aliens. But select humans who have lived on Kauai for years now have acknowledged it. It's hard not to after a while. People like Luki and Kiki and Officer Kahiko and Mr. Jameson - they all know in the back of their heads that Stitch and his cousins are not dogs. But they call them dogs or whatever other kind of creature they can because the island is now full of them, and they make life easier on everyone with their abilities. The Experiments have just kinda become normal for the natives, the people that live on Kauai year-round. They wouldn't be happy if the Experiments just disappeared, but they also have a hard time explaining it to tourists. It's just common now; everyday life involves Lilo's "crazy dogs" working and thriving in Hawaii. Things just wouldn't be the same without them! Besides, human beings wouldn't generally want to admit to the existence of aliens. Too complicated. Too scary. It's easier to just let them be and shrug your shoulders and move on with your day. That and the fact that Hawaiian legends are full of weird stuff. Tiki demons, ocean gods, volcano goddesses, sirens, shark people, Night Marchers - if people living on the island still adhere to that, it's altogether possible they wouldn't bat an eye at a bunch of genetic mutations from another star system running around. It's all a matter of what you're used to after 10+ years XD

( 02 / muse 5 / cismale & he/him ) contrary to what the campers might tell you, that’s not gavin leatherwood. that’s luka donahue! this is their 4th year working here and they’re a lifeguard. they’re 24, and i just found out during ice breakers they’re a pisces. at first they might seem pretty facetious, but they’re actually really magnanimous . when they have down time, you can usually catch them hiding snacks in his cabin. try to get to know them for yourself this summer!

hiiii i’m raq, i also play micah this is luka ! these were poorly written at 2 am so :) sorry in advance. hmu for plots <33

[ 𝕓𝕒𝕤𝕚𝕔𝕤 ]

full name: luka gabriel donahue

age: twenty-four.

date of birth: march 2nd

star sign: pisces

nicknames: luke, luki, you could call him literally anything he’d probably answer to it

place of birth: salem, oregon

sexual orientation: tbh i don’t think he cares to label he just be living.

TL;DR : an idiot! that’s it! maybe not completely. i’m probably going to say it alot but he really is just living. hardly ever one to worry about something longer than 2 seconds, blindly forgiving – just a big ol’ golden retriever who just so happens to probably forget to call you back or go skinny dipping at 4am because he got bored and drank too much red bull before bed. he’s a good time.

[ 𝕓𝕒𝕔𝕜𝕘𝕣𝕠𝕦𝕟𝕕 ]

born luka gabriel gilbert, his biological mother’s a bit of a mystery. she didn’t really leave much of a trace behind once she dropped him off at the police station when he was about a month old. so from then on he hopped around a few foster homes, which weren’t always the greatest towards him but he was way too young to remember alot of it now.

at age 3, he’d get adopted by the donahue’s – a moderately well off family in salem, oregon who looked into adoption after their biological children grew up and left the nest. luka fit right in, making him feel right at home.

after that his life was honestly pretty smooth sailing. elementary through highschool was relatively easy for him. maybe not the academic side of school but, the social side. he’s always been charming and athletic. so, he was the kid who could befriend just about everyone. did a plethora of sports throughout his childhood but eventually joined the swim team in highschool.

a dagwood frequent growing up -- literally went every summer. certainly the biggest clown around. pulling pranks, joking around.

didn’t land the swim scholarship he’d hoped for literally the entirety of highschool ( that was the only way he’d get into college with his grades ksdfgja ), so he just started working , sifting through alot of jobs ( aka getting fired from alot of jobs ) before landing on a small bar in town.

[ 𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪 ]

he’s a irresponsible guy and pretty impulsive. he’d do pretty much anything if there’s a promise of fun attached to it. more socially motivated more than anything, so he’ll rarely say no to anything his friends are up to doing. has been arrested for this reason thanks to being so willing to befriend literally anyone and getting mixed up in the wrong crowd.

easily excitable. outside of sports, movies, and music ( i’ve just /decided/ he loves the 1975 so there’s that ) – he’ll love to talk about almost anything. as long as it doesn’t get too serious cause he can’t be serious for very long or he’ll get actively sad and he doesn’t know how to… be sad. his main emotions are excited, happy, and mildly annoyed. that’s about it sjgas

not eloquent in talking about the way he feels / thinks about anything ever. him crushing on someone is like “ they’re really nice.” tends to be very surface in relationships, just cause he’s got some emotional growing up to do. as bubbly and warm as he is, he doesn’t talk much about himself to most people. you’ll have a 3 hour, great conversation about him and realize all he really said about himself was his name skgjafs

serious rejection hurts him like x3000 because he still thinks about his mom not wanting him. so! hurt his feelings ! ksfjga

hmu to plot!! i’ll come with ideas!! hopefully. sdkgjad

be very comfortable with your own skin

sejak kecil, saya di bully karena fisik.

when I was at school. people called me ‘ketek bulek padek’ yang artinya kecil bulat padat. Saya tahu saya datang dari kampung dan senang bernain panas panasan, meski badan saya gempal tapi keras. Anak gaul versi tetangga tetangga saya adalah yang jago lari, manjat pohon, jago ngebut naik sepeda, nangkep ikan di empang, dan ngga takut sama biawak. But still, at some point, untuk setiap kali melakukan salah dan diteriaki “dasar ketek bulek padek” dasar “hitam” dasar “cebol”.. rasanya sakit :) sampai kadang saya pernah nangis di kamar mandi sambil beberapa kali ngeliat ke cermin bilang “kau nda boleh lemah.” eh ujung ujungnya saya keluar dengan menunduk.

selama di pesantren saya ngga dapet cercaan karena fisik, sama sekali. semua diterima apa adanya, sebagai santri. Kepercayaan diri saya kembali lagi.

Then that ‘pretty confident me” went to the college, where real world tortured her in a way social perspective does. Saya ngga nyangka banyak banget orang temenan karena orang lain cantik, ada aja yang nilainya bagus dan dibaikin dosen karena rupawan.. bahkan saya pernah jalan sama temen yang mereka malu jalan sama saya yang hitam gendut dan ga gaul ini. Dan gapunya hp BB ini, dan ga mainan twitter ini. And that calling came back to life. Dalam inner circle saya, saya biasa dipanggil “bantet” dan gembil. Bahkan beberapa bagian dari tubuh saya seringkali di highlight “kok lengannya kaya bogem, itu betis atau talas bogor?” .. sampai saya ingat teman saya (yang memang senang bercanda pakai hati dan nda sadar kalau panggilan2 begitu berimpact) sering bilang “ah.. kamu mah emang terbuat dari kesalahan ..” setiap kali saya bikin salah.

Awalnya saya berkaca kaca, sedih, sakit. tapi dibilang baperan, dibilang cengeng. Akhirnya untuk meredakan itu semua, sebelum saya diejek, saya yang duluan ngejek diri saya sendiri. “iyaa emang gue jelek.” “iyaa emang lengan gue bogem” begitu. Setiap hari. Selama 3 tahun :)

Pada tahun akhir kuliah, saya memisahkan diri dari teman teman saya yang itu dikosan baru. Tapi bahkan ejekan saya ke diri sendiri gabisa dihentikan. I was trained to do that. Disana saya terkena depresi. Ngga mau keluar kamar. Sampai pernah coba bunuh diri karena ngerasa worthless dan ngapain hidup kalau aku lahir dari segala kesalahan di muka bumi. Kedengeran lebay, ya. Tapi entah kenapa itu yang dirasakan. Bermalam malam cuma bisa nangis yang ga berasa sambil melukai diri. Saya gigitin bagian dari diri yang saya benci sampai lengan saya biru biru. Melukai diri terasa menyenangkan. Terasa kembali ke hakikatnya, kalau saya berhak dapet yang buruk buruk dari hidup. Saya berhak disakiti .. Bahkan saat itu saya turun 12 kg, sudah putih dan langsing tapi tetap merasa itik buruk rupa. luar biasa. Luar biasa nyeri hati bila ingat ingat.

Lulus kuliah, saya kursus ke pare dan berat badan saya naik, lagi. Dan disana pertamakali saya bulimia. saya belajar memuntahkan semua makanan yang saya makan. Dan saya terus menerus memuntahkan makanan selama dua tahun. Dari yang tadinya sulit harus dikorek, sampai ke yang loss aja. Gendut sedikit perutnya, saya muntahin. Sampai ingat buang air hanya beberapa hari sekali sangking gaada yang masuk nya. Saya baru masuk kerja dan selalu ingin terlihat bagus memakai baju apapun. Jadilah muntah memuntahkan menjadi makanan saya sehari hari.

Saya pindah kantor dan memutuskan untuk puasa daud. Dan disana, semua nya jadi membaik. Alhamdulillah sudah berhenti dan sembuh dari bulimia. apalagi ada motivasi internal kalau ternyata bulimia itu haram.

Tapi apakah insekuritas saya dengan diri saya sendiri makin membaik?

nyatanya tidak. jauh di dalam hati, diri masih meringis merasa kalau saya tetaplah si itik buruk rupa, yang tidak peduli sebanyak apapun achievement yang saya dapatkan, tidak akan menaikkan level ketidakberhargaan menjadi berharga :)

Saya jarang banget post muka sendiri, karena malu. kalau ada pipi sedikit, saya bisa mengutuki foto itu berhari hari. Saya masih sering menghindari cermin, menghindari pantulan diri. kamera depan ngga pernah dibuka. sama sekali ngga pernah. kalau ada yang manggil saya ‘ibu’, hati saya ngilu. kalau ada yang nyebut bagian dari diri saya atau bilang ’gendutan’, saya murung berhari hari. kalau ada yang bilang cantik dan lucu, adalah pernyataan yang paling ngga bisa saya percaya di muka bumi.

bayangkan betapa hari saya seringkali menjengkelkan. saya jalan sama temen temen ke pameran lukis, eh mas masnya manggil saya ‘bu’.. hati bisa kemerungsung sampe makan rasanya ga napsu. separah itu? iya, separah itu. sampai saya pernah nge hide semua tagged post saya karena malu sama fisik sendiri.

ya Allah (peluk diri dengan erat)

hal hal itu, masuk ke alam bawah sadar saya. Saya baru ngeh dulu saya senang pakai sepatu lusuh dan totebag lusuh. Saya pikir yaa emang itu saya banget. sekarang sekarang baru nyadar kalau dulu saya ngerasa diri emang harganya segitu, jadi cocoknya disandingkan sama tas dan sepatu yang udah usang. dulu saya gasuka make up an. kerudung ga disetrika. pakai baju ga match, bukan karena saya memang begitu, saya merasa yaa emang segitu aja harga saya. siapalah harus pake yang rapi rapi.

saya ngga tau saya sukanya baju apa. karena selama ini beli baju tergantung lingkungan sosial saya. saya sering milih hal yang ngga saya sukai.. entah kenapa saya jadi orang nomer satu yang jahat sama diri sendiri, meski saat itu banyak teman teman saya sudah menyayangi saya. Kan ada yang dia paling sayang sama dirinya sendiri, meskipun dunia jahat padanya. Kalau saya kebalikan. And no matter how the world loves you so much, you can’t really accept it if you dont love yourself. ini truth. karena saya punya perbandingan keduanya :)

saya punya beberapa teman yang saya percaya mereka menyayangi saya apa adanya. memang mereka jadi nampak seberharga itu di mata saya, ketika saya merasa dengan sudut pandang saya waktu itu, dunia jahat sama saya karena sayangnya sama yang rupawan dan ‘ideal’ aja. Tapi hal ini juga merupakan bumerang buat saya. Sekalinya ada salah satu diantara mereka yang menyinggung2 fisik saya, rasanya kaya di betray sama orang yang paling kita trust. rasanya satu orang itu sama dengan seribu orang yang meneriaki jelek ke wajah saya. kaya dikecewakan sama orang yang paling kita percayai. wkwkwk

mohon maaf banyak yang ngga masuk akal. tapi kalau ada yang mental health nya keganggu, itu bener bener rasanya selebay itu. padahal kita tau kalau pake logika yaa ngga gitu. dia ngga salah, orang lain ngga salah bilang ibu. kan wajar aja toh ngga tau toh aku emang jelek dan emang pakai gamis gitu. tapi entah mengapa sekalinya insekuritas tersentil. tuiiiing rasanya ingin kabur ke pluto saja. That’s why it matters, that mental health. that children inside. dan rasanya hidup dengan hal itu nemplok di kita tuh gaenak bangeeet :((

wahaha panjang ya. tapi saya ingin berbagi. sekarang semua sudah tertangani, alhamdulillah.. ketika saya memutuskan pergi ke ahli untuk konsultasi masalah lain, tp atas izin Allah hal ini terselesaikan :)

saya ingin memberitahu kalau gestur dan kalimat negatif itu powernya kuat sekali. kalau rasa benci itu dampaknya jauh sekali. kalau dendam dan amarah yang disalurkan dengan cara tidak baik itu bisa menyakiti sampai menyakiti jariyah. saya ingin memberitahu, kalau kalimat negatif itu bukan ringan timbangannya. kalau mau ngeluarin dari bibir, tolong berfikir berulang ulang ulang kali. karena kita ngga tahu jenis luka apa yang akan muncul. karena kita ngga akan tahu sedalam apa jatuhnya batu yang kita lempar ke lautan.

nanti akan menulis tentang apa yang saya rasakan setelah recovery.. alhamdulillah rasanya ngga berat lagi nulis salah satu dari banyak hal yang mengganggu di masa remaja saya. biar ada disini agar suatu hari nanti bisa dibaca sebagai pelajaran untuk diri maupun orang lain.

wahai diri, semoga gak telat ya. setelah 25 tahun, aku baru bisa sayang kamu dan nerima kamu seutuhnya sebagai manusia. maaf selama ini aku perlakukan kaya monster yang tampak membahayakan. maaf selama ini aku baik ke seisi dunia tapi ke kamu aku keji banget. maaf selama ini fokus memperhatikan, membantu, menghangatkan, memeluk, menyayangi banyak orang diuar sana tapi kamu kutelantarkan dengan bengis.

ayo kita jalan bersama sebagai aku, dengan penuh cinta pada diri, semoga dari kebahagiaan batin lahir banyak padang bunga yang jariyah. kebahagiaan yang lebih longlast untuk diri dan banyak orang. makasih ya, kamu selama ini kuat banget. I LOVE YOU SO MUCHIE <3

Chapter 2

agreeing with the stupid idea of Marianne, the brown haired girl took the time to explain Kazue about her stupid plan. She was really fond of Kazue and the last thing she wanted was disappear because of Mari's plan and leave the owner of the cat cafe alone. Mille and her were really good friends, they met on a day that the brown haired girl tried to take out the stress from college and spent some time with the fluffy cats. She noticed right away how the black haired woman didn't talk much with people, and she saw how the woman panicked just by approaching her. It was with really slow time and a picture of Lagrange Point that Emille took Kazue to talk to her and with that she gained the trust of the store's owner slowly, nowadays they were so close that she would get calls of the older one if she didn't appear on the store at all, and some recurring clients, if they didn't find Kazue, would pay to their orders to Emille herself. So with this plan of Mari going on, she didn't know what exactly would happen and she didn't feel like disappearing and leaving the poor owner worried.

"An Idol duo?" Was everything the black haired one could say after the explanation

"Yes, I don't know how it'll go, so… If I don't appear for some time, this may be the reason…"

"... You could make your reunions here…"

"We'll surely do!" Mille said patting the shorter's hair and turned back to Mari "So. Let's get down to business."

Being an idol required a lot of things: dance skills, vocal practices, even some clothing design was required to get the audience attention. Help was needed and it was urgent. Thankfully, a lot of her friends sympathized with the cause of Mari and decided to help them on getting everything ready. The first step was getting vocal and dance practices so they could get better on the main stuff that idols did. Help came from Mille's best friend, Akuseru, who kindly offered to be their manager and make their schedules don't conflict with their school. Akuseru was quite the nice and kind guy, and for the luck of the girls he happened to met someone more than special for this task.

An Idol's sibling that knew as much as the idol themselves, Megurine Luki. He was the one who taught his little sister how to sing, dance and have the confidence of an international diva, and his efforts on helping her showed as now DIVINE-DIVA was one of the most known groups in Japan, and his sister, Megurine Luka, was almost the international diva that she aimed to be. Luki didn't bother with fame, he liked to live his quiet life taking care of the family cafe, Akuseru was actually one of his employees and once he told his boss about two girls who knew nothing about singing and dancing wanting to be the next idol generation, he put back his heels and opened a season of practices for them.

The classes of Megurine Luki weren’t the most easy ones, and he was an exigent teacher, however with time and patience the girls were able to get the handle of the dances and vocal practices.

Second step was given to a friend of both Akuseru and Mille, Will. An exceptional on marketing who started to divulge his friend through the internet as well as with some pamphlets.

With their help and talking with Luki, they all worked on the outfit designs. He worked hard to make the most beautiful and charming outfits for the duo to which Mille complained for being “Too exposing”, but he didn’t care. He put her on the outfits anyway.

In two months, everything was settled, and so they debuted.

Starlight Pop, was the name of the group that they came up with. The image of the two all over the internet was something that Emille would never think it would come to happen, but if people were happy with their song and if their song would actually help Mari, maybe she could get used to it.

People from her college, people at the cafe, even at the building they would stop her to ask “Hey, Isn’t that you in this picture?” and as much she was happy they were getting a lot of traction, but at the same time the brown haired girl missed the peaceful life where people simply forgot about her because she was next to a white wall and couldn’t be seen.

Oh, and the cafe… The Blue Moon Cat Cafe… She missed the days where she just could sit there and pat the cats till she felt relaxed and then she would pat Kazue and get even more relaxed… But now a good part of her day was all about practicing…

Marianne was quite enjoying it. All boys were interested on talking with her from time to time, as well as a bunch of girls! However, the plan was slow and everyday she came back home, the happiness of her idol life disappeared as felt the empty house slowly taking over her thoughts of Shunsuke.

The results were slow. Too slow. And this was bothering her.

It was one of those days she asked Luki for a day off, Emille was confused by she agreed and both spent the day on the cat cafe where Mari had spent twenty minutes crying over her friend. It was good, she had the attention, boys were coming to her, girls were coming to her, but her brother? He still had to be the one working until later hours to pay for his debt.

Kazue seeing the despair of the pink haired girl came close to her friend and gave Mari a small cup with hot cocoa on it. She took a deep breath holding Mille's pale hand as she tried to speak.

"Maybe… There is something… Missing…" her faint voice made the blue eyes of Mari look to her as if she awaited for an answer “Maybe… A Duo isn’t what you need…”

“What are you talking about, Kazue?” Mille also stared Kazue for some long minutes until she finally started to talk.

“What if… I entered in the group…?”

“WHAT?!”

--End Of Year 1-- Bukan jenis suka menulis panjang-panjang ni but this time, mungkin boleh jadi peringatan untuk diri sendiri in the future. Alhamdulillah sikit sebanyak aku nak luah apa yang aku rasa sepanjang belajar di sini. --The One Academy Of Communication Design (TOA)-- Well, that is my college full name, time aku datang aku 100% tak tahu yang kolej ni kolej art so, memang first and second sem memang kena belajar lukis orang, lukis benda tak hidup, painting wow memang sakit. Aku dari darjah 6 memang anti gila dengan seni ni because I messed up alot sebab tangan cepat berpeluh and ruin the artwork (sekarang pun masih ruin tpi sabar je lah) Well, dari melukis dan painting tu sebanarnya aku belajar, tajamkan mata, observation skills, sebab memang basic dalam design memang kena ada observation skill yang mantop. Design ni satu benda yang sangat-sangat pantas berubah, so I feel that usaha TOA untuk sentiasa up-to-date dengan trending design memang buat aku suka belajar sini but still kalau ada sahabat-sahabat nak masuk, aku terang - terang ckap jangan (huhu), sebab? I can’t say it here. PM tepi! --Cabaran?— Kolej ni jugak dikenali dgn TOA (Tons of Assignments), memang topik ni menjadi topik hangat, memang assignment gila-gila punya, kat Facebook kami ada TOA Confession Page, untuk pelajar meluahkan segala yang terbuku di hati, some are about love (lol) tpi tak kurang jugak banyaknya orang confess pasal betapa takda life bila assignment terlalu dahsyat. Sampai ada yang berasa untung break up dengan awek sebab akhirnya dia boleh ada masa dengan assignments haha...entah betul atau tak wallahualam. Full sharing on Facebook.

About evil teams in Pokémon world

(Read the full article about How Pokémon world was shaped by real world here: https://www.google.it/amp/s/www.polygon.com/platform/amp/2015/4/10/8339935/pokemon-new-york-tokyo-paris)

I red an article about the connections between the Pokémon world and the real world, and I found some parts of it very interesting and useful to understand, for example, the behaviour of evil teams in the fantasy Pokémon World.

“In some ways the Pokemon world is talking out of two sides of its mouth by showing us a utopia and then also showing us people who are somehow dissatisfied with the current state of things (…) Even as a young American child I was able to see Team Rocket’s connection to the Yakuza, and I imagine most of us did too. But Team Rocket much more closely resembles the bōsōzoku, a motorcycle subculture that rose to prominence in the 1960s. “Bōsōzoku” literally means “to rocket out of control.” The group consisted mainly of disaffected teenagers with poor career prospects who broke petty laws as a sort of initiation process for joining the Yakuza. One facet of Japan’s strange economic policies was the concept of “lifetime employment” — a series of government subsidies that rewards companies for hiring kids directly out of college and then employing them forever. It’s rare that a Japanese company will fire its employees, but it’s also very rare that they’ll hire employees that aren’t fresh college graduates (…) Teenagers with bad grades often knew they had little chance of a successful career, but found solidarity in communal rebellion (…) While the Team Rocket Grunts may resemble the angry teens of the bōsōzoku, the leader of Team Rocket (and the other Pokemon gangs) has a decidedly different personality. Giovanni, Maxie, Archie, Cyrus, N, Ghetsis and Lysandre all follow a very similar archetype: they are visionary leaders who manipulate others into helping them build their ideal world. Each of these leaders also openly surrenders after a moral defeat. This archetype seems to be based on Yukio Mishima, the Nobel-winning author who failed to overthrow the Japanese government in 1970. Mishima and his private army stormed a military base and attempted to inspire a battalion of Japanese soldiers to join him in a coup against the government in order to restore the pre-war power structure. When the soldiers laughed at his speech, Mishima accepted defeat and committed suicide immediately”.

I find all of this very interesting, because of that other part of this article:

“Series creator Satoshi Taijri said in a Time Magazine interview that Pokemon is based on his childhood hobby of catching bugs in the rural outskirts of Tokyo in the 1960s (…) The rural hometown from Taijri’s childhood was completely engulfed by Tokyo’s urban sprawl as the economy exploded. Taijri says that several of his favorite bug catching spots were completely paved over and replaced with suburban arcade centers. Japan’s government accelerated economic growth with “too big to fail” economic practices that could be compared to America’s own housing bubble. And the United States was concerned that if Japan got too poor it would resort to communism, so it justified foreign aid with domino theory.This is all reflected, strangely enough, in Pokemon (…) Pokemon Red’s map isn’t based on present-day Tokyo, it’s based on the pre-sprawl Tokyo of the 1960s. The towns that are connected by forests and rivers in the Pokemon world are connected by concrete and bullet trains in our world. The fantasy of this world is not just that humans and Pokemon live side by side, but that the golden age of Japan never ended. This world is in a state of tranquility while its real-life counterpart was in a state of upheaval (…) Japan’s rapid economic growth also resulted in further economic stratification. And while the world of Pokemon was spared from the “economic miracle” of the 1960s it still, apparently, suffered the social fallout of that period, namely the increase in organized crime”.

So, I thought about something (it’s my personal speculation, my personal view) that fascinated me: the very young Pokémon protagonists, the happy go lucky boys and girls that go exploring the world riding a bycicle, may represent the children, the children’s happy world, and the Pokémon world in general, it’s shaped according to the way children see the world. But in this quiet, pacific world perfectly in balance, the evil teams always appear. The evil teams seem to represent the world of the children who had to grow up but “fail” to become the kind of adults the competitive Japanese society wants them to become. There’s always a clash between good children and evil criminal adults in the Pokémon world. In this dreamy utopic world shaped by children, the haunting spectre of adulthood problems and inner conflicts pop up embodied by the evil grunts that look for a leader, a boss, that would give a meaning to their “loser” lives. The world of adult is cruel, and it’just behind the corner, and the happy go luky Pokémon protagonists have to meet it’s metaphorical representations.

“The President and I are discussing a vital business proposition. Keep your nose out of grown-up matters… Or experience a world of pain!“ - Giovanni

“I’ll show you how terrifying adults can be!” - Tabitha

“You know why being a Trainer is so great? Because when you’re battling, it doesn’t matter if you’re a kid or an adult. Everyone’s equal in Pokémon battle!” - Gladion

INTRODUCING,

» francisco lachowski & twenty-two & cismale.「 after checking isabella’s diary, we saw luca rosario show up many times. apparently, he is a fashion photographer that isabella called her mutual friend. she mentions that they can be compassionate yet naive, and our background check says luca has lived here one month. if we move fast, we might catch them at the photo lab. 」

waddup, peeps ?? this tiny bean goes by the name of rue ( she/her ) and i’ll be playing Soft Boy™, luca rosario. he’s pretty much a new faceclaim for me with an old character’s background. however, francisco has recently become my forever Fave, therefore i’m so excited to have the opportunity to play him !! if you would like to hmu for plots / scream about connections all day long, please give this a LIKE and i’ll come wiggling into your ims ( or discord; find me at justrue#2233 ) shortly after. under the cut, you’ll find a brief summary about luca and his life. also all my wcs are listed over HERE if you wanna check that out as well. can’t wait to start interacting !!

+ disclaimer: very slight talks of cancer and mental health are below. read at your discretion.

LAYER ONE: THE STATS.

NAME. luca leonardo rosario. he was born out of wedlock, so he took his mother’s name at birth even though his father’s surname is polish.

ALIAS. people usually just call him by luca but sometimes luke, luki, or leo make an appearance.

TITLE. over time, he has proudly deemed himself an obsessive pizza addict, artistic nutcase, or one of the missing dead poets society members.

NAME MEANING. his true significance of his name means a bringer of light.

AGE. twenty-two years old.

GENDER IDENTITY. cis-male.

PRONOUNS. he/him.

SEXUAL ORIENTATION. predominately panromantic demisexual. it isn’t so much so that luca is completely disinterested in sex (he’s got a perfectly good libido, thank you very much), he just doesn’t find himself sexually attracted to people based on physical appearance or initial impressions. instead he finds personality, intellect, and existing emotional attachment considerably more compelling. the idea of intimacy with somebody he’s not close with rather repulses him.

CURRENT RESIDENCE. he currently lives in venice, california but he travels quite often for his job, so residency usually fluctuates depending on how long he stays there.

BIRTHPLACE. san paulo, brazil.

NATIONALITY. brazilian.

ETHNICITY. half portuguese and german on mother side, half polish on father side.

RELIGION. he was raised roman catholic but converted to spiritual agnosticism when he was eighteen. he views that universal ethics and love are far more important than claims about any deity and trivialize the arguments supporting or rejecting such claims. to luca, it doesn’t matter which religion someone might follow, nor does it matter whether or not someone believes in God. what matters is what someone does, not what they believe. he has his parents’ full support in his switch even though the rest of his family practices catholism.

SPOKEN LANGUAGES. portuguese (fluent/main), english (fluent/2nd main), french (still learning but can understand it quite well).

EDUCATION. graduated with the bachelor of fine arts in photography and painting at the school of visual arts in nyc.

PROFESSION. he works as a full-time fashion/commercial photographer. meaning, he works with different agencies such as fashion magazines, building, modeling, landscapes, etc. he’s also usually on location and travels a lot for his career.

LAYER TWO: THE STORY.

- so this is my baby boy, luca rosario and i love him sm ?? he usually goes by luca, but on occasion people call him either luke, luki, or leo. but he doesn’t care what people call him as long as it’s kind.

- luca was born in san paulo, brazil to both loving and supportive parents named jeremi and mariana. he lived there until he was six years old when his family moved to maryland because his parents, who are both marine biologists, were relocated for work.

- his parents had him when they were both young, making his parents both twenty-two when he was born.

- luca was also born out of wedlock, so by the time his parents decided to marry two years later, his parents had already made the decision to give him his mother’s maiden name even though his father’s last name is polish.

- growing up, he had and still does, have a great relationship with his parents. with his childhood consisting nothing more than love and devotion from his parents, luca had nothing to complain about. his parents loved him dearly, whose pure heart and open-mindedness they helped to cultivate. they encouraged luca’s belief in extraordinary things and hoped he had carried it throughout his life growing up. his parents had always made him promise to have courage and be kind to others, for—as they explained to him—kindness has power, and that they would see him through all the trials that life could offer, in life and death.

- cancer/mental illness tw: when he was thirteen, his mother had been diagnosed with cervical cancer. upon hearing the news, luca’s whole world clasped. not only was he at a pivotal stage in his life where everything was changing and becoming more stressful ( becoming a teenager, starting high school, going through puberty ), one of the most important people in his life had be claimed by the deadly disease altogether. so many thoughts and feelings were going through his mind at the time, that he ran himself physically sick and had experienced his first panic attack. he has since been medically diagnosed with panic disorder. thankfully the cells on his mother’s cervix were diagnosed at precancerous stage and the doctors were able to treat it because it developed and spread. however, that didn’t and doesn’t stop luca from being in a constantly state of panic every time his mother so much as feels pain or coughs due to irrelevant reasons. the entire year had changed him and his family for a while.

- he has brother, who is three years younger than him, named tomás. his relationship with his brother, however, is a bit estranged. as much as he loves his brother and wishes they could see eye-to-eye, sometimes they have a tendency to butt heads often. whether that might mean your typical sibling arguments or full-on blown out fights, they just can’t seem to see get along. sometimes people believe they aren’t actually related or that they’re half siblings because when his brother was born, he took their father’s last name.

- most people would describe luca as the benevolent. despite being in a world where there’s hatred and suffering, luca declares himself independent and strong-willed by remaining kind-hearted and self-loving, not allowing the bitterness surrounding his life to overtake him and morph him into someone as cruel as the world seems to be every day. he makes the most of his life by remaining optimistic of the possibilities of a brighter future. but besides that, he’s also witty and sarcastic. he is unafraid to stand up for himself when he feels he’s in the right–or at least, attempt to do so. and although he strives to contain his optimism aura, he can fall into fits of frustration and annoyance quite often.

- he’s also super quiet and shy. he loves to make friends but because of his quiet complex, he usually has trouble speaking up and making his voice heard. he tends to become flustered a lot too when he can’t express his emotions; which he has trouble doing anyway when he’s not flustered.

- luca is capable of enduing tremendous hardship. though he may not handle difficulty in the healthiest or best way, often repressing emotion, he mostly like emerges on the other side. he doesn’t know how to express his emotions in a diplomatic way, but rather fumbles it all up and starts to ramble. rarely opens up because of this.

- to put it plan and simple luca is an art ho. he even went to university for it too ( the audacity of it all smh ). luca always loved anything artistic. even when he was little, he would go around with his disposable camera and take pictures of everything and then take to paper to draw of all the things he had taken pictures of as well.

- he’s like a hippie dippy child of the universe. no joke. no seriously, his place at home is full of sensual shit and art. it’s getting out of hand and somebody needs stop him soon.

- he strongly believes that art is an umbrella term that relates to expressing of oneself ( not just through photography and painting ) and that everyone has the freedom to express themselves however they please. because of his beliefs, he chooses to break gender roles like bread and wears whatever the fuck he wants because yolo.

- his appearance pretty much represents his hippie dippy lifestyle with him wearing all sorts of cute hipster shit. he’s clothes are v flow-y but don’t let that fool you. he doesn’t miss the opportunity to represent his upper-middle class within his style, so he does dress to impress, let me tell you ( he’s a fashion ho too ). his hair color changes sometimes too depending on his mood but it’s generally never too eccentric.

- when he turned seventeen, luca decided he wanted to go to college after high school. so he applied to an arts school in new york and graduated at twenty-one with two degrees in photography and painting.

- for about a year after graduating, he took some time to create his own freelance business while also looking for jobs in the commercial and industrial world of photography. about a three months ago, a fashion agency, settled in california, had contacted him about loving the work he had done in his freelance business and offered him a job as their full-time photographer. of course he accepted the job and moved out to venice, california. he’s been there for a whole month and hasn’t looked back since.

- upon hearing the news of isabella souza’s murder and also being a suspect in the case, luca’s kind of been on edge since. granted, he never knew isabella all that well, considering he met her through a mutual friend of theirs about as long as he’s lived in venice and became rather decent friends because of it. but to know someone killed her, freaks him out. he never met someone who has been a victim of a homicide case before and frankly, he doesn’t know how to act since the news broke.

#vb;intro #procrastination at its finest ‣ 「 out of character 」#this is long and unnecessary i'm a mESS.#please love me dfjdkflds.

film school is about abandoning your family for an entire weekend to shoot a very low budget film and finding yourself high on ibuprofen (to the point where you lose your sense of orientation) in the middle of the woods surrounded by people you only mildly tolerate and still managing to cater to the actor's every whim

03.09.17

So I decided to start a blog today so I can see in reflection how much I’ve grown over the years. I think it’s very important to self-reflect because if you don’t realize what you’re doing wrong you’ll obviously always do wrong. Doing what is right for yourself is different for everyone and we all have to take the journey. Some take 25 years, others 40, and sadly enough some will never get there. This life is what you make of it and this is what I’m making of mine. I don’t know exactly what this blog will amount to. If I’ll post every day or once a week or once a month who knows but what the hell here we go.

I turned 19 this year and am a sophomore at Davidson College so I have a lot of life to live in the next few years and I’m overly excited for it. As a precursor this blog may be a bit depressing at times but that’s all on the “Road to Greatness” right? I’m at a time right now where I have to decide what to do with the rest of my life and I don’t think that’s a decision a 19-year-old should have to make but here we are. I have two roads to go down. One, which is my original plan, is going to med school and becoming the greatest neurosurgeon to grace this earth with my cure for Alzheimer’s disease. I just want to be able to fix the most intricate and complex machine in the world, the brain, but I really don’t see myself in school that long, or taking out that many student loans, or going to the military for them to pay for med school so my chances of achieving those uncontainable 9-year-old dreams seems ever so dwindling. Plus, the fact that doctors are getting paid less and less each year when it’s harder and harder to become one. On the other hand, I love everything dealing with math and money so economics always enticed me as a major. I’m in ‘Intro to Economics’ and it has proven to be very interesting to me. Seeing how economies are affected by different markets, both domestic and international, makes me have a greater understanding how the world around me works and being aware of your environment is of great importance. So I was thinking maybe I could combine the two and go into hospital management – be the unprecedented, just hospital owner who actually gives a shit about patient care and his employees over having $600K stashed into his bank account every year. I’m on spring break right now so I’m trying to get ahead on my work so I have nothing to do when I get back and also have started a book called “After Dark” by a Japanese author named Haruki Murakami. Julia recommended it to me so I called the library and had it in my hands within 20 minutes. It is quite descriptive and it’s all about one night in Tokyo or so I hear so I am very intrigued.

Hmm other things to include… I guess I should recap things that have happened in the past year or so. I did shitty my freshman year of college. Like really shitty. 1.3 GPA to be exact on the level of shitty I’m talking about when I say I did shitty my freshman year of college. Super shitty. Everything just seemed to go wrong. For one I was just overly immature. I didn’t think I had to work for what I achieved and I really didn’t want to either. I felt privileged to just get A’s and B’s. I fell in ‘love’ with my best friend back home (it was just emotional dependency) and she didn’t feel the same way but I stayed friends with her because “it wasn’t fair for her to lose her best friend because she didn’t have the same feelings for me” which I understand but when does it become fair for me? That lasted until Christmas and I didn’t talk to her from then until July of the following year so just emotional roller coaster on that front from September to the end of the spring semester. Then there was the pressure from my parents. My father said he wouldn’t pay for my college unless I have a 3.5 or above, volunteer at least 20 hours a semester, have a job, and be active in clubs on campus (to be blunt he is not paying for my college) while Mom just kept telling me “You have to become a doctor YOU HAVE TO become a doctor YOU HAVE TO BECOME A DOCTOR” and she always wanted me to be more than I was at that particular moment so I stopped caring what she thought of me as a whole and even what I thought of myself. I mean, if anything you do just doesn’t amount to good enough your whole life then you just think you’re worthless. To further this, I really didn’t think I had anyone on campus who really cared about me. I felt like I was so alone and just stranded, that no one on earth could ever help me so I locked myself in my room, smoked more weed than one ever should, and played computer games – just doing enough work to not fail my courses. There was never a time last year that I could feel good about myself and I still have so many self-destructive habits I almost feel bad for anyone that’s close with me because they have to deal with it too. Near the end of the school year (starting on April 25th and exactly 19 days before I left campus last year but who was counting?), I met a wonderful girl named Athena Maria Kalamaras who just blew my world out of proportion. I honestly think she saved me from failing my courses now that I think about it. We would do everything and anything possible together and I wanted to because it meant being around her, beside her, with her. The last two weeks there was not an hour that went by that we didn’t see each other. I would study by her while she was working, study by her when she was studying, eat across from her when she was eating, and even sleep beside her when she was sleeping (just friendly don’t worry Mom). I remember we stayed up all night before she had her flight back to Greece because we thought sleeping was even a waste of time. We had realized how much time we had wasted just watching Netflix when we should have spent real time with one another and we just wanted to lay there staring into the abyss that was one another. It was a beautiful thing. We went to see the sun rise and I took her to the airport for her 9 am flight. I cried like a baby. Soon I fell for her and would stay up until 6 am to talk to her while she was working in Switzerland because I never wanted her to be alone. Would wake up at 8 am to talk to her again and then nap in the afternoon while she was asleep. This girl took over my life in ways I never imagined and my friends hated her because I would hang out with them once a week and ditch them all the time for a “computer screen”. George even started calling my phone and my computer Athena. She came at the end of June and everything was fine but everything after was downhill. When she was with friends and family in Greece she seemed annoyed with me and when she was in Japan she just didn’t make time for me. I went to visit her in Greece over Christmas and New Years and she had already fallen in love with an Australian boy so I’m heartbroken and mad at myself now. I spent countless hours trying to make her happy and upwards of $5,000 in the last few months and it has amounted to good memories, lessons learned, and a few great Greek friends. In the end I think we both gave it our all and it was not meant to be but I will always remember her and hope to always care for both her and her family. For now, I’m just angry with her and I think that’s okay. I took last semester off from school to mature and realize how to be responsible. I think I mastered my goal to an extent because the transition has been noticed by almost everyone on how I handle myself and what life brings at me. I made about $6,000 and spent half of that going to Greece and spent the other half by mid-February so I can’t wait to start working this summer. Right now I would say best friends are (this is not in order so don’t get offended people) Kei Kurosu, Stefanos Kalamaras, Julia Vining, Luki Elizalde, Jack Kennedy, James Gerdy, Keith Cox, George Georgiev, Ryan Giggey, and Sydney Westmoreland.

Just a note so I say it at least once. Life is absolutely wonderful. It’s the most beautiful thing this world has to offer you. Please please please live with a purpose. Live for yourself and make the people around you happy. Give everything you have to the people that deserve it. Happiness is the best gift you can give someone. A real genuine smile that you made will bring you so much more fulfillment than clothes, cars, sex, you name it. And if you’re ever feeling like you don’t have a single soul that will understand you, people say I’m very understanding and quite easy to talk to. I love hearing stories and helping so bold move coming up: 910.777.1728. Cheers!
