Left is Amari's and Miyō's image flowers/plants (I've always portrayed Miyō as 'leaf' due of her backstory and name, meanwhile Amari as tuberose is just my recent interpretation about his image as in hanakotoba tuberose means 'dangerous pleasure.')

Right is their birth flowers (with the fake birthday I've made for both) (Miyō is June 22nd = honeysuckle, in hanakotoba means 'bonds of love'; while Amari is February 7th = hyacinth, in hanakotoba—mostly—means 'games.')

Being told to stop using em dashes in my writing because ChatGPT uses them a lot and people might think it's written by AI...

the point of fanfiction is that you can write whatever the fuck you want forever and no one can stop you. #thepower

舞台『ジョーカー・ゲームⅡ』 木戸邑弥 インタビュー

JOKER GAME II STAGE KIDO YUYA INTERVIEW

I think this stage could expand the genre of 2.5 dimension.

A new stage of Joker Game, which got the audience excited last year, has been decided. This time, the stage will be set in Double Joker-hen which is very popular in the original work. Jitsui’s actor, Kido Yuya, will continue as the key person in this stage.

Kido: In the previous stage, I had this feeling, “The original work is really fun. If this was to be a stage, I’m sure it will be fun too.” The casts and staff—everyone was confident and looking forward to the stage. Everyone talked about how they want to do it again. Now that those hopes have come true, I’m really happy.

Fans of the original work also cheered in delight. It was said that the secret behind these fans’ delight came from the very cool vibe that’s only found in the stage.

Kido: The spotlight of the previous stage—of course—is the opening. The moment all of D Kikan’s spies assembled, it was really cool that we as the actors shivered in excitement as well. The theme song was also the same as the anime, and from that alone, the audience’s hearts were captured in one blow. This time too, I’m sure the stage will bring out the same cool vibes.

D Kikan, an organization consisting of resourceful spies who have passed the super human selection test. The previous stage got the audience excited with the poker scene as the key scene.

Kido: Clapping hands and tapping the table, following the rhythm. Nishida (Daisuke) -san the director said that it is something we should try by ourselves, so we (the actors) created the idea (to clap hands and tap the table along the rhythm). But when we tried it, it was harder than we’ve expected (lol). If there’s even one mistake, everything will be a mess. I’m sure the same nervous feeling will appear in the next stage.

This is the second time you act as Jitsui. Your attachment for this character is special.

Kido: Among the cool D Kikan members, Jitsui is a cute character, yet he can act like a guy or a girl. He’s able to bring out each of his personality really well and doesn’t put his hands in his pocket. He’s also an actor who likes to make up various schemes out of trivial things. Although Jitsui is cute, there is a side of him which are ruthless and malicious. Maybe I resemble him a bit (lol)

Among entertaining scenes in the stage, you can also have a taste of action, deep battle scenes, shade of adulthood(?).

Kido: The charm is to enjoy the excitement of the stage. I think that this work could expand the genre of 2.5 dimension, so this time too, I will fight with great spirit.

I want to be a better writer, but it's hard when it's:

• 5% cool shit that you think of

• 95% filler to justify the cool shit

Emotionally repressed character confessions!!

☽ "i don’t know how to talk about this without making it a joke." ☽ "i’m not used to people… staying." ☽ "can we just pretend i didn’t say that?" ☽ "i thought if i ignored it long enough it would stop hurting." ☽ "sometimes i rehearse being honest in my head and then never do it." ☽ "i literally have no idea how to ask for help without apologizing." ☽ "i didn’t know it was okay to feel like this." ☽ "do you ever get tired of pretending you're okay?" ☽ "what if i'm just too much and not enough at the same time?" ☽ "i only know how to be fine or silent." ☽ "i’ve never told anyone that before. please don’t look at me like that." ☽ "i don’t want to be alone, but being around people feels like too much too." ☽ "i don’t even know what i’m feeling half the time." ☽ "i’m scared if i let it out, i won’t be able to put it back." ☽ "i didn’t mean to make you worry. i just didn’t think it mattered." ☽ "every time i try to be vulnerable, my body screams abort mission."

how to deal with self-doubt as a writer (from someone who lives there rent-free)

writing is hard. even when you love it. especially when you care. and if you’ve ever stared at a page and thought “why am i even doing this?” or “i’ll never be good enough,” congrats, you’re officially a writer.

so here’s the thing. self-doubt isn’t a sign you’re failing. it’s a sign you care. you want your words to matter. you want your stories to land. that’s good. that means you’re reaching for something real.

but here’s how to keep going when the doubt gets loud:

write anyway seriously. even if it’s bad. even if it feels pointless. writing is a muscle. show up, scribble something, and count it as a win.

stop comparing your favorite author has a different path. different tools. different struggles. you’re not behind. you’re on your timeline.

don’t wait for confidence confidence doesn’t show up before the work. it comes after you’ve done the scary thing. write scared. write unsure. write badly if you have to. just keep writing.

talk to other writers you’ll find out they all feel the same way. yes, even the published ones. yes, even the ones with book deals and fan art and movie options.

reread something you’re proud of remember that time you wrote something that made you smile? made someone else cry? go back and read that. you did it once. you can do it again.

be gentle with yourself you don’t have to write every day. you don’t have to be perfect. you’re allowed to rest. you’re allowed to try again.

your voice matters. even if it shakes. even if it whispers. even if it’s still figuring out what it wants to say.

write your messy little stories. write your weird little worlds. write what makes you feel something.

and if no one’s told you today: you’re doing a good job. keep going.
