Joe Quinn's True Personality
Strength, 9 of wands, Knight of Swords, Moon, King of Swords, Temperance, 6 of Wand Rev, 7 of Swords Rev, Hermit 8 of Swords Rev.
Split my Deck: Magician, 6 of Pents
Strength: I feel like he is a very emotionally strong person, and I think he radiates it on to people. Like he might be the rock in the family. Everyone goes to him with their worries. The card depicts a woman taming the lion. We see that he has a soft side and compassion for people when he is helping them "tame the lion".
9 of Wands: This is also a card of inner strength and overcoming adversity. He may have been through some hardships in the past, but he is a very strong and resilient person. He has learned, possibly been forced to learn, how to stand his ground.
Knight of Swords: Knights are cards of action and swords are swift. I think when he is determined to reach a goal or achieve something he does it fast and accurately. He gets what he wants.
The Moon: He might have a lot of insecurities and possibly deals with anxiety. I also think he has trust issues. He has to really get to know someone before he opens up to them. You have to earn his trust. I can see him having a close-knit friend circle because he's someone that is picky who they let stay in their life.
King of Swords: This is a card of intellectual authority. He is very intelligent and thinks clearly. He values honesty and integrity. I feel like he is going to tell you the truth. He does not sugar coat anything. But I also think his intellect helps people through hard times. I could almost see him being a speaker for a charity or convention. Or, if he wasn't an actor he could be a therapist. He is capable of making tough decisions and I think he can have the tough conversations as well. This man is real. He is not faking himself at all.
Temperance: I think Joe is a compassionate, patient and kind person. He most likely has a calming demeanor. You feel safe and kind of protected when you are with him. I think he wants you to feel that way too. He's a safe space and wants you to understand that about him.
6 of Wand Rev: This card could suggest that he's feeling like he does not have the support he needs at the moment. Accomplishments are not being recognized or something has taken a shot at his self-esteem. It could be something that he lives with. He may have very low self-esteem. He may feel like he has not accomplished all he wants to in life. He may actually feel like he is not where he thought he would be at this point in his life.
7 of Sword Rev: This card makes me think him and Doja are PR. At the moment he is trying to overcome some sort of dishonesty. His past actions are weighting on him, and he is trying to right the wrong or get past whatever deceitful action was taken.
Hermit: Joe may be a very introverted person. He likes to take time to himself to reflect on his past and what he can improve on in the future. Right now, he might be taking a break from something or just wanting to be alone. He enjoys solitude, but he needs to know how to balance it.
8 of Swords Rev: Something has or is making him feel trapped or stuck in a never-ending cycle. Rev indicates he is starting to break free from whatever it is. He's ready to be done with it.
I split my deck and got magician and 6 of pents
He is manifesting something, and he is realizing he has the power to make it happen. The 6oP is a card of being charitable. Giving and receiving. I wonder if there is a charity he is trying to start or be involved with. This could be something to look for in the future. I also think he is a powerful person and very generous with time and money. He has a big heart. I feel like he knows he can make things happen and usually to benefit someone else.

BIBLE STUDY: #1
─ ✩ “In the following study, we will reflect on seeking God's wisdom, protection, peace, and justice. Most importantly, we will learn to trust in God's hands, knowing that He always knows what is best for us. In the end, His plans are greater than ours!”
Books used on the following study: Psalms
STRENGTH AND OBEDIENCE
Psalm 19:11 "Therefore, by them, Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward." By following God's commands, we are warned, and there is great reward in obeying Him.
Psalm 19:13 "Moreover, keep Your servant from willful sins; do not let them rule over me. Then I will be innocent and cleansed from blatant rebellion." This verse highlights the importance of humility and obedience to God’s commandments and warns against the arrogance and self-righteousness that can lead to sin.
1. Why is self-righteousness wrong? The concept of self-righteousness implies a belief that one's salvation is based on their own actions or works, rather than the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for our sins. We don't deserve Heaven on our own merits, but it's only through the love and grace of God, through our faith and acceptance of Jesus' sacrifice, that we can be made righteous.
2. In modern times, how can we replace the offerings made back then? While modern times may not include traditional burnt offerings like in the Old Testament, we can still offer our sacrifices to God through our actions and our daily lives. This could mean giving up harmful habits and behaviors, volunteering our time and resources to help others, or even simply doing our best to obey God's commandments in everyday situations. Let us also make time daily to strengthen our relationship with God.
TRUST AND LOVE
Psalm 21:2 "You have given him his heart's desire and have not denied the request of his lips." This verse speaks about trust and gratitude to God, expressing the speaker's faith in God's love and sovereignty.
Psalm 21:7 "For the King relies on the Lord; through the faithful love of the Most High he is not shaken." The king encounters difficulties and threats, the love and support of God will ensure that he remains strong and protected, and he will never be broken or overcome by misfortune.
Psalm 46:4-5 "There is a river its steams delight the day of God, the holy dwelling the place of the *Most High. God is within her; she will not be toppled. God will help her when the morning dawns." These verses convey the assurance of God's presence, protection, and timely help for His people, offering hope and security amidst any adversity.
Psalm 57:3 "He reaches down from heaven and saves me, challenging the one who tramples me. God sends His faithful love and truth." This phrase portrays a vivid image of God actively intervening in our life. It emphasizes God’s willingness to descend from His heavenly throne to rescue those in distress.
Psalm 118:18 "The Lord disciplined me severely, but He did not hand me over to death." God discipline us not to ultimately punish us but to shape us into better people. We must recognized that the severity of the discipline is a reflection of God's concern for our growth and righteousness. Despite the severity of the discipline, we are thankful that God has not allowed us to face ultimate destruction or death.
GOD'S PROTECTION
Psalm 23:4 "Even if I go to the darkest valley, I fear no danger, For you are with me; You anoint on my head with oil; my cup overflows." This is a declaration of trust and faith in God, emphasizing that even in darkness, we are comforted by the presence of God, who promises to protect and guide us.
Psalm 34:7 "The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who *fear Him, and rescues them." This verse highlights the protective presence of God and His angels, specifically for those who fear and worship Him.
Psalm 27:2"When evildoers came against me to devour my flesh, my foes and enemies stumbled and fell." The expression “to devour my flesh” uses vivid imagery to describe the intensity of our enemie's intentions—it's as if they are determined to utterly destroy us. But in the end, God caused our enemies to falter and be defeated.
THE WICKED AND JUSTICE
Psalm 73:6 "Therefore, pride is their necklace and violence covers them like a garment." This phrase implies that the wicked wear their pride openly and with arrogance as if it were an accessory like a necklace. Just as clothing envelops a person, violence is said to cover the wicked. This means that their lives are characterized by cruelty and aggression. Violence defines their actions, and they engage in harmful and unjust lifestyles.
Psalm 73:7 "Their eyes bulge out from fatness; the imaginations of their hearts run wild." Fatness in the Bible often symbolizes wealth and abundance. The imagery of eyes bulging out suggests that the wicked are so well-fed and prosperous that their wealth is excessive. And untimely the desires and thoughts of their hearts are uncontrolled, ambitious, and often wicked.
Psalm 73:8 "They mock, and they speak maliciously; they arrogantly threaten oppression." They are known for their mockery and malicious speech, meaning they ridicule others and speak in harmful or spiteful ways. The wicked not only speak maliciously, but they also use their power or influence to threaten and oppress others.
Psalm 73:16 "When I tried to understand all this, it seemed hopeless until I entered God’s sanctuary. Then I understood their destiny." The psalmist on this, Asaph, is struggling to make sense of why the wicked seem to prosper endlessly while the righteous suffer. He observed the arrogance and success of the wicked, and it deeply troubled him, making him confused and frustrated. But when Asaph enters the sanctuary, he gains a spiritual perspective, a new perspective. Asaph gains clarity about the ultimate fate of the wicked. While they may seem to prosper, their success will come to an end. Their end will be one of judgment and destruction.
─ ✩ “This is all for today! Thanks for joining me in this Bible study, remember to ask for guidance to the Lord before reading. And reflect his word in our daily lives. Remember God love us, we aren’t too far from him. See you all next study!”

"The Hazbin Hotel" (1990): Husk
"played by": Keith David
-----
The cat behind the bar at the casino used to be a man.
A man that traveled the world doing what he did best: entertain.
He was a stage magician that won the hearts of many, and by the 1960s and 1970s, he was on top of the world.
For all his life he went against the odds, overcoming adversity and even death.
He could've been one of the greats... but his vices got to him.
He was a heavy drinker and addicted to gambling... and not just with poker.
He gambled with everything, including his magic tricks. It became sort of a thrill to him.
The higher the risk, the higher the reward.
All of his magic shows got bigger and flashier while he got more and more disillusioned by his own vigor. He lost a lot of connections because of this but who cares?
Who needs family when you are the most powerful man on earth?
One night after a successful magic show, he went to a local dive bar to celebrate. While playing poker with his friends, a compatriot's dog ate his car keys.
Being the gambling man that he is, the famous magician attempted to get his keys out of the dog....
....and ended up getting bitten and attacked in the process.
Luck continued to not be on his side when he went to the hospital, where he died due to a botched medical procedure.
That's how he went to hell... but how did he become a cat?
Enter Alastor.
One night, at the hotel, the magician was listening to the radio, when he heard a strange but alluring voice escape from the speakers.
It beckoned him to the casino.
A shadowy figure sits at the card table, eyes glowing red.
If the magician won three rounds of poker, the figure will be able to get him out of hell.
If not, he will forever be a permanent resident of the casino.
"....and how is that a punishment?"
The figure smiled.
"Of course the husk wouldn't see how being locked inside his own heaven is a punishment."
Take a guess as to how that turned out.
Actually, you don't have to.
The magician lost the third game and accepted the punishment... with an added lagniappe for good measure.
The magician's humanity was taken away by the figure, and as a result the demonic transformation was expedited.
...A little too much.
He became a full demon, in the form of a small house cat.
A house cat with only trace memories of what he once was as a human. At least he could still speak...
....
One day, while Charlie was opening up the hotel for the morning festivities, she noticed a cat sleeping on the poker table. Next to it was a piece of paper that read:
"Hello! I'm Mr. Husk! I like to drink whiskey and play with cards. But be careful, I can get grumpy at times."

Spoon's Q&A, fun facts and more! (NHK Culture Center Class)
As promised, I have translated the contents of Spoon's NHK class. This post includes answers to the Q&A, fun facts and interesting info I noticed from the session.
Disclaimer: Unless stated otherwise, these aren't direct quotes, nor a literal or complete translation of the whole class (it was over an hour long, it would have taken me much longer...), it's a summary. Also, Spoon talked very fast, so while I fact-checked my notes with native speakers and translators, I could have made mistakes.
Many thanks to my friends @carlachen and @ mananokobako on Twitter for sharing their notes with me!
Q&A
Q: The outfits featured on “Who Made Me A Princess” are very beautiful, what’s the process behind their designs? [Note: This was my question!]
A: When designing the outfits, Spoon researches the appropriate aristocratic costumes and dress codes, mainly from the 1870’s and 1880’s. She also uses material collections, books about clothing and web seaches, and used them as reference for details and hairstyles. In fact, this process could get very research-intensive and take many hours, something Spoon hadn’t anticipated, so she thanks the readers for liking them and taking notice of the clothes’ details.
Q: How did you come up with the name "Spoon"?
A: A friend recommended it to me, saying that the pronunciation of the word "spoon" was cute and that it suited my illustrations.
Q: While there are happy times when you draw manga, you must have also experienced many difficult and sad times. Is there anything that gave you the strength to overcome those difficult times?
A: The words of support and feedback from the readers gave Spoon strenght. When she heard that one of them was able to overcome depression after reading "Who Made Me A Princess", she was really moved to tears. Another happy event she remembers was when a foreign reader sent her a letter and a gift through the publisher company. She was so grateful that they would come all the way here [Korea], and also thanks the publisher company.
Q: What’s the most important thing to focus on while doing art, and is it needed to receive formal education or one could be self-taught? This may be a contradictory question, but what do you do when you lose interesting in drawing or you don't want to draw? Also, what’s your favorite type of ramen? [Yes this is the correct translation lol]
A: Spoon believes that the most important thing while doing art is to complete your work. If you don't complete it first, you can’t find flaws or bad points in your art to improve. Whether you learn by self-study or by attending art school, if you can become a professional or not depends on your effort. Try to be as specific as possible in your goals, and think about what you need to do to become better at painting than you are now. When Spoon is feeling unmotivated, she thinks to myself, "If I take a break now, I will regret it later, won't I?".
Among Korean ramen, a type called of sesame ramen called "Chamke ramen" is Spoon's favorite.
Q: I was always impressed by the beauty of Spoon-sensei's paintings. I wanted to know if there is an artist that influenced your art.
A: Spoon’s style has been influenced by the art of Naoko Takeuchi [Called it] author of Sailor Moon, Ikuko Ito, creator of Princess Tutu and animation director of the original Sailor Moon anime, and Katekyo Hitman Reborn’s author, Akira Amano [In fact, Spoon is a big fan of the series. You can check some of her old fanart here]. Spoon says that she respects them very much.
Q: Do you have any stories, manga, TV dramas or anime that have been greatly influential for you?
A: Studio Ghibli’s Nausicaä and Laputa: Castle in the Sky, and Disney’s Moana, stories where the female protagonist has adventures and overcomes adversity. Spoon thinks those stories of growth are really wonderful.
Q: What’s your favorite anime?
A: Spoon likes all the films directed by Hayao Miyazaki.
Q: The person asking this questions comments that, after reading "Who Made Me A Princess" they gradually became interested in family stories in which two characters who were indifferent before become close and come to cherish each other very much. Their question is, since there are many combinations and genre settings, if there's a particular pattern or setting that Spoon personally likes.
A: Spoon likes to see a character change depending on emotions such as love and friendship. Emotions are intangible, but they have the power to change a person's personality and behavior. She thinks that's what is so wonderful about it.
Q: At what stage do you draw the shadows? Do you add them in from the beginning or in the middle [of the process of painting]? Also, when do you start thinking about putting shadows in there? I would like to know if there are any points you are conscious of when drawing.
A: Spoon adds shadows when she is considering the surrounding lighting of the drawing. Even if the object in particular is a flat surface, it's important to paint it as if it were three-dimensional. In order to get better at this, it's absolutely necessary to carefully observe photographs to see the way in which shadows are cast when an object is exposed to light.
Q: When you are drawing, which part do you like the most?
A: Spoon enjoys when she is putting the finishing touches the most. She is filled with a sense of accomplishment after completing it.
Q: In some scenes, Athy does a swirly gesture with her arms when she is embarrassed. The person who asked this question doesn’t quite understand it, as it’s not something you see in Japanese manga, and would like Spoon to explain it a little.
A: [Spoon shows gifs of Korean TV shows where the participants make a sort of “grabby hands” motion] Spoon laughs and explains that this is a common physical way to convey embarrassment, surprise or cringe in Korean culture [If you search “오글거리다” you can find some examples]. The word used literally means that your limbs "shrink", so that's where the gesture comes from, but it can also be used in other situations, such as being horrified, in pain or cold. In Japan, this is usually represented with goosebumps.
Spoon elaborates about how certain cultural differences are fascinating. For example, when someone is talking about a character behind their back or in another place, in Japanese media the character will usually sneeze. On the other hand, in Korea that kind of situation has the character’s ears suddenly itching.
Q: The person asking the question says that the way in which Spoon draws jeweled eyes is very beautiful. They want to know how did Spoon think of that idea, or if she developed a process of creating them.
A: How she would draw the jeweled eyes was one of the things that Spoon worried about the most. What she wanted to convey was the feeling of a “cut gemstone”, and how precious, shining and beautiful the eyes look [Here she explains it while doing “cutting” motions with her hands. Think something similar to a karate chop]. She did her very best and is glad that she got a good response from readers.
Q: Athy and her friends looks so beautiful and cute in the dresses they wear. I would like to know what was the most difficult or honestly troublesome dress to draw in your work.
A: The coronation dress was very difficult and time-consuming to draw. At that time, Spoon had to do a lot of things at the same time, such as revising the physical version of the webtoon, so there wasn't enough time to do everything at the same time, but Spoon was happy that the effort she put into it made it look gorgeous.
Q: Who is your favorite character to draw, or the easiest to draw? And who is the most difficult to draw?
A: It’s Athy, because she’s gorgeous and cute. But Spoon also greatly enjoys drawing Lucas. Drawing him is fun because he is handsome and has many expressions. On the other hand, it's difficult to draw cautious characters because their facial expressions don't change much. However, she says that all of the characters are beautiful and elegant, so there’s no character that Spoon dislikes drawing.
Q: What is the most important thing for Spoon to draw in “Who Made Me A Princess”?
A: Spoon expands on the themes of “Who Made Me A Princess”, about the various relationships within the family that wasn't connected to one another. She thought that even if the characters shared blood, they hadn't been able to communicate, so they could only become a family if they thought about each other. And even if they are not connected by blood, if they care about each other they still can become a family.
Q: The person asking the question goes over how the color of both Jennette and Anastasius’ eyes changed once Lucas removed their mana. Jennette’s eyes became green like Penelope’s, while Anastasius’ turned black. It seems like the jeweled eyes are related to the characters' mana. So, if they didn’t have any magic, would Athy's eyes become a beautiful and mysterious color like Diana's, and Claude's eyes would become almost brown like his mother's?
A: Spoon elaborates about how the way in which a person’s eye color is determined is very complex and tricky, as it has to do with genetics, but in this setting it indeed relates to the royal mana. If Athy didn’t have any magic, her eyes would look like Diana’s.
[Note: This is also shown with Aeternitas’ cloudy jeweled eyes, since his mana was very weak].
Q: The person asking this question asks Spoon why was Diana a dancer, and if she could get a little more into Diana’s character, her past and what type of person she was.
A: Spoon imagined Diana as a minstrel or a wandering artist. Like a ballerina in a famous theater troupe who tours, she travels with her dancing and singing, putting on shows in different countries to earn money for her travels, so Spoon characterized her as a free soul.
Q: Obelia is called “the land of eternal springs and summers” in the last chapter. Does that mean winter doesn’t exist there?
A: Spoon says that indeed, there’s no cold weather in Obelia. That's why the characters don't have winter clothes. However, as there are a lot of cute designs for winter clothes, she would like to draw an illustration of the characters in winter clothes in the future.
Q: What your schedule is like when you are working on the series?
A: Spoon exercises as soon as she wakes up, for about 2 hours, eats dinner when she gets home, and starts working right away all the way until she goes to bed.
Q: It’s very rare to see Claude in uniform or tight clothes. The person asking the question wonders why Claude's clothes are so bare and asks Spoon if she could elaborate a little on his fashion sense.
A: Claude used to be a prince who wore his uniform properly, but after meeting Diana, he came to like the more casual or loose style of clothing. So Claude's fashion sense comes from Diana’s influence on him. Even when he didn’t remember her, he kept wearing such clothes because of that influence, and also because he genuinely likes them.
Q: Who’s Spoon’s favorite guy?
A: [With no hesitation] Claude.
Q: How did you improve your drawing skills before becoming an illustrator?
A: Spoon used to emulate her favorite artists and draw fanart.
Q: Do you have a favorite japanese word?
A: When she was traveling in Japan, Spoon was impressed by the name “Nippori” [Referring to Nippori train station]. She looked up the meaning and thought “Oh, so that’s what it means!” [Note: Nippori means ���place where the sun sets”]. In Nippori, she didn’t do anything in particular, Spoon just passed by it on the train.
Q: "Who Made Me A Princess" has great clothes, but I also like the flowers that appear in each scene. I know some of them problably don't exist, but is there a flower that you use as a model?
A: It was a long time ago, so Spoon doesn't remember much, but she tried to draw beautiful flowers with overlapping petals.
Q: Is there anything that Spoon-sensei takes special care of in terms of physical condition?
A: Her wrists. Spoon demonstrates how she does her stretching routine. She also takes supplements when needed.
Q: I love Athy's hair color, it's so soft. Did you have any difficulties or problems deciding on that color?
A: At first her hair was a little darker, but Claude's hair is a dark blond and Athy's is a light blonde. So, in order to make a difference between them, Spoon lightened Athy's hair. She had a hard time fixing it so it wouldn't be too bright.
Q: What do you keep in mind about color schemes when you paint? They are always beautiful and I'm always fascinated by them.
A: Spoon tries not to make the color scheme too dark or complex [This answer was hard to hear, it could mean too dark or complicated/oversaturated].
Q: A question asking for commentary on the characters' expression and they way in which Spoon draws them. The answer focuses on Claude’s expression when Athy collapses in Chapter 18. The comments mention how Claude’s perspective of it in Chapter 102 was very moving and made everyone cry. [Here Spoon showed the panel of Claude’s surprised face].
A: That scene was especially difficult for Spoon. It's a precious scene that shows how Claude had allowed his heart to worry about Athy. It was quite difficult because she had to give the expression a “Claude-like” quality and be careful to not deviate from his personality, but she also had to express how shocked he was. But it was a lot of fun despite the difficulties.
After reading the comments saying that this scene made everyone cry, Spoon adds that this is her favorite scene in the webtoon.
Q: The last question of the class. What will Spoon do in the future?
A: Spoon was thinking of going back to being an illustrator after the serialization of “Who Made Me A Princess” was over, but after the encouragement and happiness she received from readers, she decided to continue as a cartoonist. Look forward to seeing her next work!
Spoon realized that it makes her very happy to see and meet readers who are happy to read the manga she drew. She will continue to create good works as much as she can. She ends the live part of the class thanking us readers.
Q: At what age did you start drawing? [Note: The following questions are direct quotes. Because they were provided in written form, I was able to faithfully translate them].
A: My parents told me that I was very young, ever since I was able to hold a pencil, I was already drawing.
Q: What made you decide to be a cartoonist?
A: I have always dreamed of becoming a cartoonist since I was a child, but I thought it might be difficult, so at first I aimed to become an illustrator. After a while of working as an illustrator, I was asked to make my favorite work into a webtoon and decided to become a cartoonist.
Q: What’s your favorite manga?
A: I really enjoy reading Dungeon Meshi [Delicious in Dungeon] these days.
Q: What’s your favorite Japanese food?
A: I like sushi and ramen / I like cheese and creamy foods. It’s not good for my health… But it’s delicious, isn’t it? ( ;ω; )
Q: When did your current art style take form?
A: After I started working as an illustrator and studied styles suitable for the genre (mainly romance fantasy), I guess… It’s not completely set in stone, it’s still developing.
Q: I’d like to know what’s your average working time per day.
A: Basically 8 hours, sometimes more than 12 hours when the deadline approaches.
Q: What software do you use for illustration?
A: I use Clip Studio Paint by CELSYS.
Q: Please tell me how to draw jeweled eyes!
A: I posted a tutorial on YouTube. Please watch the SoSpoon channel! [Link to the tutorial]
Q: Please tell us about Athanasia’s daily life!
A: Athy enjoys having tea and cake while performing her duties as princess. She will also play with Lucas, who shows up from time to time.
Q: Did you expect “Who Made Me A Princess” to become so popular in Japan? Did you work with the intention of expanding to overseas from the beginning?
A: At first, I didn’t think about publishing overseas. At that time [when the serialization began, in 2017], it wasn’t a time when overseas expansion was very active [referring to how back then, it wasn’t common for manhwas to get translated into other languages]. I was very happy that Japanese readers enjoyed my work, and I’m looking around for feedback with a lot of gratitude. Thank you so much for all the love.
Q: What does “Who Made Me A Princess” mean for Spoon-sensei?
A: The webtoon “Who Made Me A Princess” is like a benefactor to me. Thanks to this work, I was able to receive a lot of love. Thank you so much.
Q: Have you been asked to make an anime adaptation of “Who Made Me A Princess”?
A: Yes. I heard that it was ranked the 2nd manga that people want to see animated in Japan. Thank you very much.
[This year, “Who Made Me A Princess” has also been nominated to receive an anime adaptation. Read more about it and vote here!]
Fun Facts and Other Info
I'll answer what everyone is probably wondering about first: No, there was no mention of the side stories. But also, no one really asked about it. It seems to be a sort of taboo topic among japanese readers, and since there is some kind of issue with their publication, nobody touched the subject to not ruin the happy mood.
Apparently, Spoon received over 1000 questions for the Q&A.
The NHK translator mentioned that there were students from many countries!
Spoon gave a quick overview of her working tools. They include: a Cintiq 27QHD (tablet), two Dell monitors, and a Streamdeck. She also mentions using a 24-inch pen now, because it's easier to use.
Spoon has volume 9's cover as her PC's wallpaper.
Spoon's voice is very cute! But wow, she talks so fast. Taking notes was very challenging.
She seemed to be shy but was very happy and looked healthy! The first thing she did was thank the readers for all their support and for giving her strength.
There were many comments about how cute the gestures Spoon made were. I agree!
Spoon has a ton of WMMAP merch. A whole bookshelf filled with it, and I believe she had at least one item of... everything. Even the chinese exclusive merch.
She also had a bunch of WMMAP volumes, both normal and limited versions!
Spoon has a special brush for drawing blushed cheeks, and it's in fact not pink but orange and light red, with the contours being lighter.
She had a very cute crab pencil holder. She said it was a gift from her assistant. Spoon likes it because it has a cute shape and she loves cute things. Like this (green one):
Most people already saw, but the results of the popularity poll for the character people wanted Spoon to draw were: Athy in 1st place, Lucas 2nd, Claude 3rd, Ijekiel 4th, and lastly Jennette 5th. The numbers of votes weren't revealed. Spoon drew the following illustration to celebrate:
That's it for now! I've been told that the class will be re-streamed soon (though I don't know if it will be made public or just for those who paid), so I'll try to watch it again and chat with friends that attended the class to see if I can add more interesting information to this post.

Family Prosperity: In some cases, Rahu in 2nd house can bring prosperity and success to the family. This could be through inheritance or other means, benefiting the entire family unit.
Negative Effects of Rahu in the 2nd House Financial Instability: While Rahu can bring sudden gains, it can also lead to financial instability. There may be periods of financial ups and downs, with unexpected losses and unwise investments.

Chant Rahu Mantras: Reciting Rahu mantras, such as "Om Rahave Namah," can help pacify the malefic effects of Rahu.
Fasting and Donations: Observing fasts on Saturdays and donating black clothes, sesame seeds, or iron objects to the needy can help reduce Rahu's adverse effects.
Worshiping Goddess Durga: Praying to Goddess Durga and performing Durga Saptashati recitation can help in overcoming Rahu-related challenges.

Privilege and Nature Interpretation
Hey friends!
As I am embraced by nature's serenity, it is revealing that privilege influences even the most pristine environments. Have you ever wondered about how privilege transcends into our relationship with nature? Today I wanted to deliberate on the role “privilege” plays in nature interpretation and enjoyment.
I believe it is important to acknowledge that privilege varies considerably from person to person as it is shaped by a multitude of factors. Discussing privilege constructively is important, it raises awareness, questions harmful norms, and promotes diversity and inclusivity.
So what is “privilege”? I believe privilege refers to the advantages an individual experiences based on being in the majority demographic group. It does not deny universal struggle. Privilege brings essential awareness to the benefits that are present when an individual aligns with societal norms and power structures. Did you know that a significant percentage of the world's population does not have the opportunity to enjoy nature? It is important to recognize that individuals who find solace in escaping to the outdoors should be aware of the privilege that enables such opportunities. Experiencing nature without usual comforts and the ability to return to the comforts of home are privileges not all have.
In nature interpretation, communication plays a pivotal role in shaping positive nature experiences by sharing knowledge and exhilaration. Yet, language can unintentionally act as a barrier, inadvertently excluding individuals who aren't fluent in the prevailing regional language. This exclusion can have an adverse effect on one's ability to fully embrace and appreciate the experience. To support a more inclusive approach to nature enjoyment and interpretation, there are several practical steps we can take. To begin, we can create nature programs designed to welcome individuals from all language backgrounds, encouraging people to share their individual perspectives. Additionally, engaging with diverse communities through community outreach allows us to seek input on how to improve accessibility. Listening to suggestions is key to making progressive changes within the eco-community. Moreover, offering interpretation services or guides proficient in various languages can significantly enhance the experience for non-native speakers. Lastly, providing multilingual resources, including information, guides, and materials, ensures that nature-related content is accessible to a broader and more diverse audience, ultimately enriching our collective appreciation of the natural world.
Amid individuals' hectic daily routines, time and priority responsibilities often hinder their ability to spend a moment connecting with nature. Consequently, the shortage of time restricts the opportunities for individuals to fully immerse themselves in the beauty and marvels of the environment. To enhance nature enjoyment for all, despite limited time availability, several strategies can make a meaningful difference.First, offering activities at various times during the day and week to cater to diverse schedules is essential. Next, promoting local nature spots with public access ensures that people can connect with nature without extensive travel and travel barriers. Furthermore, active involvement of minority communities in the planning and development of nature-related activities can ensure inclusivity as accessibility challenges are addressed and overcome. Advocacy efforts should focus on policies that support green spaces and strive for equitable access to nature to allow for equal opportunities to enjoy nature.
I would love to chat about other ideas you all have that can help make nature interpretation more inclusive. Thanks for being part of this week's discussion!
Emily

Breaking Barriers: The Story of Zion Clark
Zion Clark’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. Born with caudal regression syndrome, a condition that caused him to have no legs, Zion refused to let his physical challenges define his life. His mantra: "No excuses." This powerful mindset has propelled him through hardships, foster homes, and seemingly insurmountable obstacles to become a world-class athlete and an inspiration to many.
From a young age, Zion fell in love with wrestling. Despite the challenges, his incredible upper-body strength, determination, and mental toughness allowed him to compete against fully able-bodied athletes. His athletic prowess doesn't stop there—he’s also a competitive track star, breaking records in the wheelchair racing world.
youtube
What makes Zion stand out isn’t just his athletic achievements. It’s his relentless positivity, his refusal to be limited by the cards he’s been dealt, and his unwavering belief that adversity can be turned into strength. His story teaches us that no matter the circumstances, you have the power to rewrite your narrative.
Now, as a motivational speaker, Zion shares his story with the world, empowering others to conquer their own obstacles. His message? Resilience, courage, and belief in oneself can truly change the game.

In today's fast-paced world, many individuals grapple with stress, anxiety, and a lack of direction.

Motivational speakers like Stephen Swisher often share personal stories of overcoming adversity, imparting valuable lessons that resonate deeply with their audiences. Their messages aim to empower individuals to make positive changes in their lives, cultivate resilience, and embrace their true potential. Read more
By utilizing storytelling and emotional connection, motivational speakers create a space for reflection and self-discovery. This process can lead to increased emotional equilibrium, enabling individuals to manage their thoughts and feelings more effectively. As more people seek ways to enhance their mental health, understanding the role of motivational speaking in fostering emotional well-being becomes essential. In this blog, we will explore the benefits of motivational speaking, its impact on mental health, how it encourages personal growth, the importance of storytelling, and how it can create community connections. Through these insights, we can appreciate the profound effect that motivational speaking has on cultivating inner harmony and emotional stability.
Understanding the Power of Motivation
Motivational speaking transcends mere inspiration; it serves as a catalyst for change in individuals' lives. At its core, motivational speaking taps into the innate human desire for improvement and fulfillment. By presenting compelling narratives and actionable strategies, experts such as Stephen Swisher inspire audiences to take charge of their lives, fostering a sense of empowerment that is crucial for mental health. When individuals feel motivated, they are more likely to set goals, adopt healthier habits, and pursue personal aspirations.
Furthermore, motivational speaking helps to cultivate a positive mindset. Through uplifting messages, speakers encourage individuals to focus on their strengths rather than their limitations. This shift in perspective can significantly impact mental health, as individuals begin to see possibilities instead of obstacles. By embracing positivity and motivation, individuals are more likely to develop resilience, cope with stress, and face challenges head-on, ultimately leading to improved overall well-being.
The Impact of Motivational Speaking on Mental Health
Motivational speaking can have profound effects on mental health, particularly in fostering emotional resilience. Many speakers address common mental health struggles, such as anxiety, depression, and self-doubt, providing relatable stories that normalize these experiences. By acknowledging the realities of mental health challenges, speakers help individuals feel less isolated and more understood. This connection can serve as a powerful therapeutic tool, allowing individuals to process their emotions in a supportive environment.
In addition, leaders including Stephen Swisher often share techniques and coping strategies that individuals can incorporate into their daily lives. Whether it’s mindfulness practices, affirmations, or goal-setting techniques, these actionable insights equip individuals with tools to manage their mental health effectively. The ability to learn from someone who has navigated similar challenges can inspire hope and motivate individuals to take steps toward their healing and growth. As a result, motivational speaking can significantly contribute to an individual's mental health journey, reinforcing the importance of seeking support and developing coping mechanisms.
Encouraging Personal Growth and Development
One of the most significant impacts of motivational speaking is its ability to promote personal growth. Motivational speakers like Stephen Swisher often challenge individuals to step outside their comfort zones and pursue their passions. By addressing fears and limiting beliefs, speakers encourage audiences to take risks and embrace change. This emphasis on growth can help individuals develop new skills, gain confidence, and ultimately enhance their overall well-being.
Moreover, motivational speaking encourages a proactive approach to personal development. Many speakers emphasize the importance of setting and pursuing goals, which can lead to a greater sense of purpose and direction. As individuals identify their aspirations, they become more motivated to take the necessary steps toward achieving them. This pursuit of personal growth not only fosters emotional well-being but also cultivates a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment, reinforcing the idea that individuals have the power to shape their own destinies.
The Role of Storytelling in Motivational Speaking
Storytelling is a powerful component of motivational speaking that enhances emotional resonance and engagement. When speakers share personal anecdotes of triumph and adversity, they create relatable narratives that captivate their audience. These stories often elicit strong emotional responses, allowing individuals to connect with the speaker on a deeper level. This connection can lead to increased motivation and inspire individuals to reflect on their own experiences.
Additionally, storytelling serves as a vehicle for conveying important messages and life lessons. Through their narratives, motivational speakers can distill complex ideas into relatable and digestible concepts. This makes it easier for individuals to understand and internalize the lessons being shared. By framing their messages within the context of personal stories, speakers can leave a lasting impact, encouraging individuals to reflect on their own journeys and embrace their potential for change.
Creating Community Connections Through Motivation
Motivational speaking fosters a sense of community and belonging among individuals who share similar struggles and aspirations. By attending motivational events, individuals can connect with others who are on similar paths toward personal growth and healing. This sense of community can be incredibly valuable for mental health, as it provides individuals with a support network that encourages accountability and shared experiences.
Furthermore, motivational speaking can help break down stigmas surrounding mental health and personal challenges. As speakers openly discuss their own struggles, they encourage audiences to share their stories and experiences. This collective vulnerability can foster understanding and empathy, creating an inclusive environment where individuals feel safe to express themselves. By building community connections, motivational speaking not only promotes individual well-being but also cultivates a culture of support and compassion.
The impact of motivational speaking on mental health and well-being is both profound and multifaceted. By providing inspiration, promoting personal growth, and encouraging community connections, experts such as Stephen Swisher play a crucial role in fostering emotional equilibrium among individuals. Through relatable stories and actionable insights, they empower audiences to confront their challenges, embrace their strengths, and pursue their aspirations.
