{ Carol and Yuuta when Malleus overblots }

Carol: (Alright Carol, you just need to make sure you hit all the right spots for him to turn back, remember you've done this befo-)

Yuuta calling Crowley: HUH? What, I can't hear you cause I'm currently in the middle of beating up an overblot Tsunotsuno-

(Yes, TSUNOTSUNO-)

Carol: -.-°°° Sumeragi, what the hell are you doing?

Yuuta: One second Crowley.... What?

Carol: What the hell are you doing?

Yuuta: Calling Crowley to talk about the large ass paycheck I'm gonna get later🙄✌️✨

Carol: ARE YOUR MOTIVATIONS ALL ABOUT MONEY?

Yuuta: You can't be happy in a world where rich bitches get everything they want -.-

Carol: YUUTA. WE'RE LITERALLY SUPPOSED TO BE DEALING WITH-

Yuuta: *shushes her* Alright, yeah I'm back Crowley... What? WHAT!?

Carol: ????

Yuuta: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT GIVING ME MY USUAL PROFITS BECAUSE I'M NOT WORKING WITH CAROL PROPERLY!? IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT LITTLE MISS SMARTASS IS A PUSHOVER

Carol:

I think if she did already had her own overblot and gained Magic she would literally do better. But lets say for this fight she just stradegizes and helps the ones fighting it still would be usefull.XD

But I feel like sometimes Yuuta is just testing her patience. Sometimes she asks why she even works with him at all but... guess she has not choice.

Statement of Intent

14 November 2023

‘Honey Moon Valley Road’

Medium:

Photography, moving image and/or mixed media with an anime-like appearance.

Concept:

A love story (or stories) set in a futurist Auckland – perhaps 50 to 100 years into the future – with fictional characters whose romance plays out around what we currently know as K Road and other inner city streets and places.

Rather than a dystopian society – impacted by the worst impacts of climate change and other environmental and societal ills – I’m imagining an almost bohemian world. What if we listened to the young, to the dreamers, and others who love nature, the earth and only want peace and love for everyone? Imagine a city overwhelmed in the most beautiful way with wildflowers and nature’s beauty which we seamlessly co-exist with.

There is a country road near Kaitaia in the north called Honey Moon Valley Road. I’m imagining uprooting and dropping the romantic sentiment of that road onto K Road and building a story around that. The story will centre around two characters/one couple – or could even involve a handful of couples who have each found or celebrated love on K Road, in whatever shape or form.

I may borrow from my grandparents own love story. They were married at the top of Queen St, just around the corner from K Road in the late-1930s. My grandfather, a Swedish-Kiwi 20-something, lived in the Far North and my grandmother a teenage Māori woman lived in Hawke’s Bay. She bused from the east coast to Auckland by herself to meet up with and marry him. I doubt she’d ever been to the city. She must have been nervous and probably more than a bit scared – but she did it, for the promise of love.

Artistic influences:

a. Japanese anime filmmaker Makoto Shinkai’s teenage love story ‘Your Name’. His films begin in simple, naturalistic settings before the characters are pulled into a fantasy or sci-fi plot. In Your Name, “Two teenagers share a profound, magical connection upon discovering they are swapping bodies. Things manage to become even more complicated when the boy and girl decide to meet in person.”

This movie and my experience of seeing anime and manga in Japan sold me on the power of the artform.

b. Japanese artist Kouki Ikegami who creates digital artworks that look as though they're stills from an anime. I’d like to reverse this process and create photos that look like anime.

c. Turkish photographer Akif Hakan who draws from the dark side of anime, such as the style of Tokyo’s Harajuku. His images are quite provocative. They weren’t what I was originally thinking, but do fit a K Road theme. At a minimum, they open up the idea of anime-inspired portraiture.

d. Japanese artist Tsunotsuno who creates illustrations of inflatable balloons in the shape of anime girls. This is outside the frame of my early thinking – and current artistic ability - but it’s a useful reference all the same.

e. Sim Kern’s The Free People's Village (book).

“In an alternate 2020 timeline, Al Gore won the 2000 election and declared a War on Climate Change rather than a War on Terror. For twenty years, Democrats have controlled all three branches of government, enacting carbon-cutting schemes that never made it to a vote in our world. Green infrastructure projects have transformed U.S. cities into lush paradises (for the wealthy, white neighborhoods, at least) …”

f. Honey Moon Valley Road, Peria, Northland

reflection on a weekend in tokyo

the train ride to from kyoto to tokyo was the lowest point in my trip. it’s hard to explain but once we got on the train someone had taken our luggage spot and that just set off a chain of unfortunate events, i ended up going for a stress relieving smoke in the smoking room where i openly cried in front of two old japanese men. the trip had finally gotten the better of me and i called my parents to hear some friendly voices. crying the whole way to tokyo and missing mt fuji as it was under a cloud was definitely the lowest point of my whole trip haha. once we made it to our hotel still with more hiccups along the way that i don’t even want to recall, i ordered two meals on uber eats and promptly devoured them like an animal in my hotel room before passing out. i told my friends who were staying in the same hotel that i needed alone time and probably wouldn’t see them all weekend, this was to ensure that i had time to relax and return to my usual happy go lucky self. 

the next morning i went to the omotesando/shibuya area and explored the many cafes and galleries. it was so lovely, i was starting to feel a lot more comfortable in tokyo. i visited anicoremix gallery to see an exhibition by tsunotsuno. he’s an artist that i’ve been following for a long time now and this was his first ever exhibition. it was really inspiring to see an artist i’ve watched evolve, finally exhibit. he was in the gallery when i visited and i desperately wanted to talk to him and tell him how proud i was but i was too shy. i really regret not speaking to him. later i visited laforet mall in harajuku which houses lots of small designers and artist’s creations. i bought lots of stickers and postcards and took lots of photos. i found the whole mall to be a wealth of inspiration. i finished that day with a visit to span gallery, near tokyo station. they were showing a suehiro maruo exhibition, which i was not super interested in however i felt i needed to see it as i was in japan and he is a very iconic manga artist. his work is often disturbing, grotesque and violent which i honestly enjoy. once inside the gallery i gained a whole new appreciation for his work. i’m a sucker for anything monochrome to seeing his original black and white manga panels was truly amazing. of course when i was done i raided the gift shop and bought myself prints of said panels. while i was leaving the gallery, which was tiny by the way, i found a book case full of artist books and merch. i went a little crazy and ended up spending a lot... i got books and merch from junji ito, katsuya terada, shintaro kago and yamamoto takato as well as an artist book from a doll artist who goes by ayumi, i was not familiar with her work until i bought her book and now i’m a big fan. 

the next day i explored koenji which reminded me of Melbourne's eastern suburbs in appearance. while there i bought a sterling silver ring with a four leafed clover on it that i’ve been wearing everyday since i got back to Melbourne, praying it brings me some much needed luck. in the evening i had a hair appointment which was lovely, i left the salon with a cleaned up version of my old hair and a whole lot of self confidence, that night i ended up getting dinner with my friends as i finally felt as though i was back to emotional normalcy.
