Love Macho "Visual Novel"

Thanks again to restinpeacesensei for notifying me of this.

Note some of the pictures have text which adds to the experience, while others duplicate text from the tweets they're from - you could probably still read the former using a screen translator and read tweets with the autotranslation, but there was a bit of a misunderstanding going around about one of the routes which warranted a proper translation.

The bold sections indicate main decision points (the start, the Defence Club and the student council).

Feedback is welcome.

(Even if you did play this thing through at least once, it's fun to see where all the branches go.)

Play along by starting here...

Start: Setting aside the particulars [of how you managed to do so], somehow you transfer to Binan High School and you have #Your Encounter with that person...

----

The people who challenge this and share their results... ---- ...will go into a lottery to win a present of a 10000 yen Amazon gift card! Repost this tweet to increase your chances! ▼Tap the picture to begin!▼

(Picture: Tap to start!)

(Tap here.) You start your new life from today! On the way to school, you pass by... A: The Earth Defence Club

B: The student council

-> A: Earth Defence Club: For some reason, these people are noisy, huh?

A: Pass by them

B: Try calling out to them

C: Head towards the Kurotamayu

-> ->A: Pass by them: "Eh, your bag..."

A: "By any chance, is that made of pure gold?"

B: "Is that the thing that's viral on social media right now?"

-> -> -> A: "By any chance, is that made of pure gold?"

Surprisingly, you have an expert eye. That is exactly the case.

"I...have a feeling I'll get along with you."

He offers his hand for a handshake. He's looking at his bag and smiling...

(Cont. on picture)

"T-That-!"

Somehow, on his bag is a strap of a gold nugget!

”Of course, as a way of guaranteeing [it doesn't get lost], I carry it close to me."

"Yeah, gold's asset value doesn't fluctuate much, so be careful..."

You two talk finance to your heart's content.

This would be my destined meeting with him...(Io end.)

-> -> -> B: "Is that the thing that's viral on social media right now?"

Yes, surprisingly, you're a trend junkie and bought this bag, which you recently saw on social media.

"That's excellent! The cherry pattern on it is cute!"

(Cont. on picture)

"Actually, I bought it as well...Is that made of pure gold?" [4]

Yes, it seems to be of considerably good value. You worked hard at a part-time job, saved up and made a down payment to obtain it...

"I also worked hard to save!"

Then...

"Let's go cut loose, shall we?"

"Yes! Let's!"

This would be my destined meeting with him...(Ryuu end.)

-> -> B: Try calling out to them: "Excu~se me..."

A: "Does Binan High have a chikuwabu club?"

B: "Where's a good place to eat an after-school meal?"

-> -> -> A: "Does Binan High have a chikuwabu club?"

Of course, this place doesn't have a chikuwabu club...Your shoulders slump.

"How about asking the student council?"

(Cont. on picture)

"My previous school didn't have a chikuwabu club either..."

"Did it?"

You wanted to make a chikuwabu club, so you vented your feelings to him.

"...I can feel your passion. However, you can't make a club with less than 5 members."

...is it possible to gather 5 people with the philosophy of chikuwabu...?

"Well, do your best."

"...! Thank you!"

This would be my destined meeting with him...(En end.)

-> -> -> B: "Where's a good place to eat an after-school meal?"

"I know a delicious curry place."

The black-haired boy pushed up his glasses as he responded.

Hearing "curry", your eyes light up. Actually, curry is your favourite food, so much you carry it around in a thermos.

(Cont. on picture)

"Will you tell me where that place is?"

You want to know this at any cost, so you give in.

"That's fine. If it's fine with you, would you like to go together?"

Without hesitation, you nod.

"Yes please!"

"Well, how about next Wednesday [1]?"

You coordinate your schedules.

This would be my destined meeting with him...(Atsushi end.)

-> -> C: Head towards the Kurotamayu: Are you taking a bath now?

A: "Huh, is that a Binan High uniform?"

B: No one's around. You hear the sound of wood being chopped...

-> -> -> A: "Huh, is that a Binan High uniform?"

A petite boy appeared in the middle of the bathhouse.

"My family's bathhouse is the best! After all, it uses fresh hot spring water, untreated from the source! How about taking a bath before going to school?"

(Cont. on picture)

"...this bathhouse has the same name as me, so I went inside."

...well, to tell the truth, your name is Kurota Mayu [2]. It's read the same way [as the Kurotamayu].

"Heh------! Is that so? Somehow, I get the feeling you're extraordinarily lucky!"

This would be my destined meeting with him...(Yumoto end.)

-> -> -> B: No one's around. You hear the sound of wood being chopped...

You called out, but no one came...

*chop* *chop*

"??"

There is the sound of wood being chopped.

You try going out the back where the sound is coming from...where a brawny man is wholeheartedly chopping wood.

"Um...excuse me."

(Cont. on picture)

You timidly call out and the man notices you.

"Ah, a customer? Sorry about that."

He's kinda strong...

"This is a discount coupon. That's 'cos, from the looks of things, you look like you're also a Binan High student."

"? When you said 'also', you mean..."

"My little brother also goes to Binan High..."

A refreshing, quiet wind blows between the two of you.

This would be my destined meeting with him...(Goura end.)

-> B: The student council: Wah, these guys have something of an aura...

A: Comparing them to someone like me, I'm...

B: I have an official Business Skill Test in Bookkeeping, 2nd Grade [3]!

-> -> A: Comparing them to someone like me, I'm...: They, who gallantly appeared before you, saw you and unreasonably deepened your worries.

Then, you start to tell them, "It's the entire world's fault this happened...I'm not evil..."

(Cont. on picture)

"Donum!"

You can hear a voice from somewhere.

"Ugh!"

You feel something stabbing you in the neck...

In that moment, power wells up inside you.

"If I have this kind of power...!"

You head towards Binan High, acting upon an impulse of destruction...(Student council bad end.)

-> -> B: I have an official Business Skill Test in Bookkeeping, 2nd Grade [3]!: Perhaps, they are a group of talented person like you...? Having judged that to be the case, you suddenly appeal to them. "Heh?...We were looking for someone to manage the finances. Are you a transfer student?"

(Cont. on picture)

"I transferred here today. I'm Kurota Mayu [2]."

"To have a bookkeeping qualification at that age is promising," the silver-haired person said, while the other two nodded in agreement.

"As Akoya said, would you like to manage our finances?"

"Yes! I'll make good use of my qualifications and show you I can be helpful!"

Thus, it was decided you entered the student council!

This would be my destined meeting with them...(Student council good end.)

[Note 1: Might be reading into this too much, but Boueibu's season 1 aired late on Tuesday nights, i.e. Wednesdays.]

[Note 2: Japanese name order.]

[Note 3: 2nd grade is the highest possible grade you can get in this test. To get one, you'd need to score 70% - 100% and the pass rate is 20%.]

[Note 4: Originally, my brain rationalised this as the gold nugget keychain being on the bag, but...you can have bags with handles, clasps etc. made out of an alloy containing 24k gold and that can still count as "pure gold".]

Update: Added note 4. Thanks, restinpeacesensei.

Note

can you please walk us through the relationship between wemby and jabari the people need to know

i think the most notable thing about vic and Jabari's relationship is that they don't have one, when it would be so beneficial if they did. they're like two soldiers fighting for the opposite sides of a war, too loyal to the cause to stop and think about what could have been if they just lowered their respective weapons aimed by cold hands larger than their own. foils by fate, friends by freedom.

' remember, you will Always be Different. '

' remember, you will Always be Replaceable. '

'Replaceable'

Jabari's dad made it in the NBA, then didn't. He was a big that could shoot, but wasn't a post-up man. Back then, post-up was the desired style. Ironically, now, it's all about shooting. But his dad didn't live in the now, and his career in the US was short-lived, to keep it cordial. Jabari's older brother played basketball throughout his whole life, but stopped after college. Jabari's cousin, Kwame Brown, was drafted 1st overall in the lottery, and became a notorious bust for the Washington wizards.

Basketball is a business. Basketball is fleeting.

It doesn't matter that a big with sharpshooter skills is valued as something so 'prized' in today's nba, not back then, not when it would have mattered for Jabari's dad. Making it is one ballpark in its own, but Staying in it? Can perhaps be an even more painful ordeal when the hoops to accomplish it aren't circus hoops, but a plain hill some just don't have the strength, mentality, or the materials to help climb without distraction or pitfall.

Jabari's dad made sure Jabari had this threat forever ingrained in his mind. When he yells at Jabari for misplaced eye contact, for typing the wrong words in a public social media reply, for reacting in a way a camera might misinterpret, it's out of love. Jabari's dad was known for being a hassle to coach back then, maybe because he knew his potential and no one else did because it was too new to the mold. So he makes sure Jabari doesn't follow his same habits. Jabari is polite to authority, simply replies with a 'Yes Sir' or a 'No Ma'am', he holds eye contact, he wakes up hours before he needs to just to jump rope, just to uphold the standards that his family could not. He is Everything his father is and isn't, plus more. When his team wins, he's still talking about his missed freethrows even 8 hours later. Because someone else could have won the game And hit those free throws too . someone from a family that gained success and stayed in that success. Someone who wasn't Just Another Son of a basketball player trying to do what his father couldn't, someone who was Different .

Everyone knew wemby was different. When his literature class was asked to write an essay about your future dreams in life, he wrote a fictional romance about a couple where the woman got in a car accident and was comatosed as a result, but got better in the end. He didn't write about being a great basketball player one day, because his parents don't pressure him to hunker himself into the norm, even though his mother once was and now coaches. If Wemby one day realized this wasn't for him, they would encourage him to leave and follow whatever greater passions propelling him. He's so agile for his size because his dad was an Olympic talent in track and field. He is someone who has hobbies and talents that are considered common alone, but strange combined, because he loves what he has and what he does. He reads every night for one hour before bed not to appear as some pseudointellectual, but because he Genuinely loves it, and when he loves something, he excels at it. He does try to be different, but not out of ego. He just loves to be. He either accomplishes at 200% or zero. It may be 200% in an unexpected direction, but it's His direction and that's what matters. If he somehow does wind up a bust, a possibility he considers without fear but acceptance as potential fate, then he won't go down as yet another failed first pick. He'll fall as he flew, Victor Wembanyama.

' Different '

' Replaceable'

Jabari winces each time he's subbed out, even for a second, even on an injured ankle, he's silently Stubborn, his posture shrunken and his gaze at the ground yet his eyes, big, wobbling, staring up always at the speaker, he's silently scared.

Jabari doesn't Want to be different. He just wants to be what his family couldn't be when it came to fame: irreplaceable . His parents split when he was younger, he tries his hardest to appease them both as to not cause any more issues. The relationship relies on his shoulders more than ever, and he can't fumble it again. He has to be what his dad couldn't so his dad can stay, commenting on commonality or surprises. He wants to support his still working mother, especially after the split. He doesn't Want to be unique, he just wants Security.

Because this can crumble any moment now, it doesn't matter how high your pick was or how bright the future Could Have been or how the game would later shift to your style if you had just somehow Stayed. Why bet on low chances if you know you can't handle the risk. He shakes any college coaches' hands that showed up to his practices, personally thanks them for coming even though he's one of the best in the country so their presence should be a given to him, it's not. When he picks a college, he picks one that guaranteed their faith in him from day One, and didn't require any further prodding to finally say '.. Maybe we'll offer you a position' like Kentucky did, as big and famous as it is, it wasn't Secured . They saw him as a risk at one point, and that's everything he's been trying to avoid when it came to attention, negatively standing out.

Jabari wants to be known as the strong shoulder to the world. He WANTS to be known as That One Guy who can just carry everything, nameless but Good. He just wants to be Good. Please tell him he's good. Please tell him what he's doing is Good. That basing his entire personality around yet another soldier who ultimately fell in battle but fought nonetheless being nameless is Good. Please feel free to give him all your burdens to bear like he's just some mule, an animal, a Tool .. because that means he's Useful, at least. That means he's Good. And if he isn't good, then he's nothing. Because you can always just buy another one anyways. A better one.

'Different'

Although his parents try not to treat Wemby by simplifying his differences into a strictly labeled, simple FUTURE BASKETBALL PRODIGY box at birth, that doesn't mean that can always stop others from doing it. Wemby signed his first autograph at ten years old.

It didn't matter if he was a kid who was so much more than just his basketball future, basketball fans wanted one thing from him and one thing only: Success. People didn't care about his literary skills or his drawing hobbies. The eyes on his alien needed to be smaller 'so your shoe can sell better, trust us, it's still Your drawing.. your weird little .. not money-making hobby, do believe me, Vic, We know what We're doing. You just stick to whatever you do.'

His differences, in the end, are minimalized just to that. He's just Different. That's what everyone says who wouldn't really care to say anything at all if he never hooped as well as they wanted in the first place. The youtube videos of 40 year old men criticizing his 15 year old games didn't Really care if he was just a kid, they just cared in the 'imagine when he reaches peak physicality? imagine the points (money) he'd make for the nba.' His beautiful differences, artistic, soft, unique but oh-so wonderfully common and passionate.. are all dissolved into 'Different', the Base definition.

he's an alien. Someone you can just dump all your poverty franchise worries onto because don't worry, he's Different. Trust me, he'll save your team. 'He's Different. ..am i talking about how he'd effortlessly answer questions in class while also trying to hide the fact that he's playing on his phone by tucking his bony legs awkwardly in his chair and crouching his spine over that it looked almost scary? HELL NO? what does THAT have to do with BASKETBALL?? no, he's just freakishly long, but like. Gifted. Though. ... I don't know, man, he's just DIFFERENT, okay? you can trust me, i'm a sports podcaster, okay? everything i say is gold.'

A celebrity approaches him because he was different than most famous basketball athletes. He was Different. And yet, when he didn't recognize or notice her presence due to Different cultures ( due to Being Genuinely, Detailedly Different ), he was scorned and ushered out of public eye so another possible pr bomb couldn't injure his reputation as a Difference That They Really Would Rather Not Want.

that's what his reading falls into, his old friends, his family, his art, his personality. If it's beyond ball, if it's beyond Business. The world only cares if it's marketable. Sure, some reporters will ask a question outside of sport, but only because it'll be a Different.. funny little nugget of knowledge for fans to laugh at then soon disregard for what Really made him famous. But, Wemby is what he always wanted to be. He's Different. So What if it's not exactly the kind of Different he actually wants, he actually functions on? No one has the time to perform 200% anymore. Slap the label you wanted and call it quits, stop being so High-Maintenanced. That's not marketable.

You're just different. And to some people, that's all you'll ever be. No need to explore it any further. Who knows, your Consumers might find something they won't like. And we can't risk that happening to our greatest circus freak.

i mean. Generational basketball talent .

If there's a press conference going on that somehow includes the two, then Wemby just wants to be sure everyone can hear what he really wants to say, in his own words, not echoing anyone else's, and Jabari just wants to Be in the Room.

His brother stopped playing basketball because his family said he didn't try hard enough. Jabari Can't have that. His whole life revolves Around basketball, around sport. He doesn't WANT to be DIFFERENT if that isn't the soundest option, he just wants to be GREAT. Because GREAT is SUCCESS. Jabari Smith is not success. It's just a retry at it . His father shares the same name.

Wemby's life did not always revolve around basketball, to people, at one point. At one point, Wemby's life was just his life. Now, it seems like only his family think that, and they're from a whole other country. When he comments on videos critiquing his playstyle, he doesn't do so out of anger or questioning, he does so because he genuinely Wants to improve. He Does want to be great. But, he wants to be great in Everything that he finds interesting. He always did. When he likes an author, he reads All their books, not just their most notorious novel. He wants to be transported into other people's worlds so he can learn, so he can change, so he can be Different. Even if he somehow were to lose all of this fame, this Greatness, this job, this opportunity, he will never really lose. Because he's someone who's always taken opportunities to the fullest, so even if they pan out a little differently, that's Fine, really, because he's different. Not in the minimizing, dictionary definition then leave the meaning at that different, but in the butterfly effect. What he once was ten days ago is not exactly the same of what he is now, and it hurts, sometimes, when people fail to see that, or simply don't want to because textbook different is easier to digest than worldly different.

IN SHORT.. theyre foils. i can't Exactly walk u thru their relationship bcs .. there Isn't one.. & that's what's so Interesting about them. That's what makes their relationship, to me. Because if they WERE to be friends, if they somehow in some alternate world WERE to get paired up on the same team... they would be friends. I really think they would be. Not only because their signs are so compatible, or their differences are so stark, but because their similarities would triumph everything beautifully. Maybe. We don't know because they Weren't paired together, we can only speculate. But i think it would be big and beautiful, whatever they would have, it would be Something.

unfortunately, we don't live in an alternate world where they're teammates though ! Double unfortunately, Jabari and Wemby's biggest similarity is their loyalty to the game (a double-edged sword in both their lives from Jabari's silent unhealthy desire to be limited and Wemby's silent desperation not to be) Wemby, in Jabari's eyes, is Indeed a powerful...

Problem.

He's not really a person to him . In all fairness, no one really is when they're involved in the basketball world, not to Jabari, not from the way he's been taught. Everyone's supposed to be Replaceable, a faceless tool in the pocket of good business.

.. except for This freakazoid. Apparently.

APPARENTLY, he's some supposed 'saint'. someone to be feared for being more. APPARENTLY, the reporters just LOVE yapping about him SO much, that Jabari HAS to take the time out of his training just to talk about some guy who doesn't even GO here, yet when they ask him about his opinion on future prospects. WELL, that's ALL wemby IS to Jabari, just another future prospect. Just another problem.

A problem he'll be sure to check off his list.

... okay, so Maybe he's a bit more than a problem.. maybe.. he's just a really persistent problem? yeah, that's it, nothing more. Jabari will work through this. He Always does. That's what he does well, Work.

Wemby wonders if that's all he ever does .

But he doesn't have long before Jabari's marching down the tunnel to beat himself up over all his mistakes other people would never make, and Wemby's being escorted to an interview that other people would never make solely to show how Much he just Stands Out as a soul... in basketball .

I hope they find each other in basketball, and out of it as well. I just feel like

Something would Happen

cw pet death

Today I lost my daughter.

Nirre’s situation got worse over the past two days and last night was especially horrible. Unlike last weekend and Monday, she stopped eating and was completely unable to pass stool. We took her to an animal hospital in hopes of finding relief for her only to find out her situation was far worse than what we had learned on Monday. Instead of lymphoma, she had a very aggressive bone cancer and it was all over her body. Bone cancer happens only about 0.05% in cat cancer cases, so it was like winning a fucked up lottery. We still haven’t received the lab results taken on Monday, but her x-ray showed it was worse on her back legs and had even spread to her left lung. Just a couple of weeks ago she didn’t even have those two tumors between her legs (each about the size of an egg, we literally noticed them last week and we had been keeping an eye on her) and now it was everywhere. They asked if we would like to take her home for one last time, but we decided to let her go then and there. She was in pain but went to eternal slumber peacefully. She was only 10 years old.

Nirre was such a lovely girl. everyone who met her loved her and she was so full of love, she was known to head-butt you with such force it almost broke your nose. At the hospital, they didn’t even need to sedate her to get the X-ray done, she was so gentle and kind, even in pain. Due to her illness, she went quickly and thankfully she didn’t need to suffer for long. We took her and her siblings out on a leash on Tuesday and she was then still very playful and ate well. She slept next to me that night and last night she finally calmed down and slept next to my wifey.

We got her and her brother Therre when wifey and I had just about begun dating (a year into our relationship) She used to be very shy and sounded like a little bird when she meowed until she got bigger and her lovely sound turned into shrieks which kept me awake at night when she was looking for someone to play with her. She was a beautiful soul and she is still loved.

Last week has been rough, mentally and money-wise. I haven't slept well and I’m crying as I’m writing this. We miss her, but it was better to let her go than let her suffer any longer. We miss her terribly and I know things will get better, I will remember how she loved and I do not regret having her even though I wish I could have her back. It’s hard to lose a pet you care greatly for, it’s painful, but it’s still worth it. I love Nirre and she will always be in my heart and took a part of with her as she passed.

My many thanks to all who wished us the best and to end things on a positive note, I would like to know about your pet, one either still with you or one past that rainbow bridge. I’ve shared about mine and I would like to know your favorite or memorable memory about yours like Terry Pratchett wrote: “A man is not dead while his name is still spoken” and maybe sharing their stories could keep them here a little while longer.

🎲 VOLO'S 🎲 DREIDEL 🎲 LOTTERY 🎲

"Do you like games? Do you like holiday traditions? Do you like GAMBLING? Well, I've got something for you that combines all three: my favorite holiday activity, the Dreidel Lottery! Step right up, spin the top, and cross your fingers for a cash prize from this box I've got right here--you could lose big, win a little or hit the jackpot, and there's only one way to find out! It costs ₱200 to enter, the same price as a humble Poké Ball. So come on down and spin away--it could be YOU who wins today!"

FULL OOC RULES

Hello everymun, and welcome to this fun little RNG dash game that came straight from the way my imagination decides to just go off when I'm about to fall asleep! To participate in Volo's Dreidel Lottery, please abide by the following rules.

To play, send an ask with a 🎲 emoji + the name of the muse you're entering. Discord-only muses may send on anon or through a blog they're not featured on. I will accept asks until the end of Hanukkah, or sunset on January 2, 2025.

You may send in asks for two (2) muses at a time. Please send in separate asks for each muse. After you send asks for two of your muses, please wait for me to answer asks from 3 more muns before you send any more. This way, everyone gets a chance to play!

I will then spin a dreidel using Google's online dreidel for you. Nun ("nothing") means your muse gets nothing--but they don't have to give anything either. Gimel ("entire, whole") means your muse gets everything in the box (aka the pot). Hey ("half") means your muse gets half of everything in the pot. Shin ("put in") means your muse has to put an extra ₱800 in the pot (the price of an Ultra Ball in Paldea). I will screenshot the result and then post it when I answer your ask.

I will not post, and Volo will not tell, how much money is in the pot at any given time--and that includes what value is in the pot to start with. >:3 If your muse gets money, I will DM you how much money they get. Muses can choose to either talk or not talk about how much they won of course, but if you yourself want to know, you will have to figure it out :3

If you want to have your muse react, do so in the tag #vdl2024.

Thank you for reading y'all, and MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR!

#scion of stories and maker of myths. || volo #vdl2024 #by the moon's light. || yue speaks

I'm loving all these side stories exploring the DHD universe! Each one so far has been pretty great. I love alrick and his story very much, but it's fun to get to see and focus on these other characters too. Pearl was entertaining and I'm excited to see what's up with Plague

Your art is also always such a treat. I was just thinking to myself today that I kind of wanted to study the way you use background art. The grayscale filtered photos spaced out between white space without feeling empty is really hard to pull off, but I think you do so very well.

While Alrick is the main protagonist, you are right that we need to see other characters, too. It avoids stories being repetitive and gives readers a chance to mirror characters against each other; when character X is like this, and character Y is the opposite, they underline each character's traits. Whether it's their values, looks, age, gender, sex, job, living situation, dreams, fears, past, future etc. We learn about ourselves in relation to others so this same goes to characters, too.

Characters being surrounded by other characters also reveal new things from each other. Miranda can't really talk about how being a Death-Head's girlfriend affects her and the relationship with her coworkers but she can speak about it with Alrick. Joon is very lively and Miranda is super supportive of Joon, but only Alrick will understand how it is to work as a Death-Head. Plague is an ass for everyone but doesn't speak back to Kahamet (so he knows his place). Alrick is considering others but through Dio we see what happens when Alrick (or anyone) considers others above the Death-Head rules.

Also, the easiest way to expand the world or theme is to see it from other character's perspective, from their neighborhood so to say. Alrick doesn't seem to be working as a Death-Head to collect payments but Grimm does and uses this right of his without hesitation or remorse. Ama and Awa view Death-Head work as a luxury service whereas Dio does his dirty job and doesn't view the job as anything to do with luxury. Grimm enjoys being a faction leader, Plague doesn't want it. Lou-Lou is horrified with Death-Heads, Miranda lives and sleeps with one. Society views Death-Heads and their deals as something horrific, but for Pearl meeting Grimm via her deal was a lottery win. Mr. Singer loses his teeth as a payment, Cure loses her life. Rena doesn't make deals but Grimm does and can only do it because Algoth busts his ass off to give Grimm room for deals.

If you ever come up with something with studying my art, please, let me know! We're blind to our own work, can't see them the same way as outsiders too. I think one reason why the space doesn't feel so empty is the colored speech bubbles, which are connected to each character. I think the result would be more hollow if all speech bubbles where just blank white. The characters take more space with their colored speech bubbles. (I originally started this as I hated drawing speech lines to right character. If they are individually character color coded, then it's a lot easier to do speech bubbles!)

Why I went to comics without background was due two things. First, I didn't want to draw them. I don't enjoy them. I hate it. I don't enjoy at all thinking about compositions, perspectives, hues or values, nor about panel placements. Been there, done that, hated every minute of it. I don't want to spend my precious limited free time and limited resources on things I hate. My emphasis is on the characters and the comic is drawn in a way that it doesn't have to put emphasis on the things I hate, like panel placements and directing viewers gaze.

Second thing is that rules in art are human made. Sure, some things do make the viewing more pleasant and carry your story - I went to an art school - but many of the rules you don't need. If you are famous, you're even praised for breaking them!

I had that almost rioting epiphany when I was in the art school. I happened to see from TV news how in the modern art museums, there was a new exhibition by an American painter. He was famous for painting portraits and hanging them upside down. The curator of the exhibition was explaining with shining eyes how amazing this method is! How amazing it is that this painter challenges the viewer by hanging the paintings upside down! How revolutionary!

I thought "He gets praised for hanging paintings upside down, but if I did the same anywhere, even in the art school, I would be scolded for a cheap trick or be even called downright an idiot. So, why it is allowed to him and not for me?"

As I hate injustice like this, I've made my mind to fuck around and find out when it comes to my own art, and remember; if what I do was done by someone famous, it would be praised as something exceptional. If it's allowed to someone, then damned I be, I'm going to take that right for myself, too!

#sorry this is such a long reply!#ask niu

Adventures in the Dataverse: 001

001: Lucky Winner

Today is Friday.

The first Friday of a new month. A day that millions of people look forward to, for a vast array of reasons.

For many, today marks the start of the weekend. Of a reprieve from their responsibilities.

Children will impatiently watch the clock, knowing that with each passing moment they draw closer to a short reprieve from school. Many adults watch that same clock for similar reasons, because once they finish work for the day, they too will find themselves free to relax and unwind for a short while.

For a lot of people, today is payday.

For any number of people out there, today marks an important anniversary. It could be a birthday. It could be a wedding anniversary. Or it could be the anniversary of a sad event, like the death of a loved one.

Valid as all of these reasons are, none of them relate to you.

You are excited for a completely different reason. One shared with many like you, who have spent many a day like today hoping for something important.

Today is Databeast Friday. The one day out of every month where new players are selected to join in on the game, Adventures in the Dataverse.

Only five people are ever selected at a given time. The winners are sent word of their victory on the first Friday of the month. Which has come to be known as Databeast Friday.

You, like many of your peers, have spent years hoping that you might be selected to join the game.

Up until now, you had not been lucky enough to be selected to join the game. Neither had anyone you knew.

Hell, no one in your town had ever been selected. There were only two people in your entire city that had been lucky enough to get an invitation to the game.

Getting an invitation was treated like winning the lottery. Likely because you had less of a chance of getting an invitation than you did of actually winning the lottery. Because you were playing against every other person in the entire world!

Those odds were over seven-billion to one. Of course anyone who got their invitation would wind up on the news!

You had “lost” so many times by now that for the most part, you had lost hope of actually being selected.

You only really bothered to check your mail out of habit at this point. And when you did, you weren’t all that surprised to find a lack of an invitation to join the game.

As you had expected, it was pretty much all bills and junk mail. Plus a few appreciated grocery store ads, which you might skim over later. Just to see if there was anything on sale that you might want to stock up on while things were cheaper.

But… Yeah. Another loss. Another Databeast Friday spent confirming that you just weren’t lucky enough, or maybe just not special enough, to receive an invitation to the game…

Oh well.

You shred the junk mail while wishing that you could do the same with the bills. Then you lazily toss your remaining mail into the usual spot to be dealt with later.

For now, you have to focus on getting ready for work. And unlike the many people fortunate enough to work a typical 9-5, Monday to Friday job… You’re stuck in retail. So the only thing special about today was being given the opportunity to be rejected by Datamaster. Again.

Honestly, at this point you might as well stop checking. You clearly weren’t going to receive an invitation…

Your mood remains somber as you go about your pre-work routine.

You brush your teeth. You shower. You change your clothes. You make a quick and semi-filling breakfast. One that will undoubtedly result in you feeling incredibly hungry by the time you’re an hour or two from finishing your shift. But what else is new?

By the time you’ve finished the last bite of food, you’re pretty much ready to leave for work. But seeing as you’ve still got some extra time to spare, you might as well just dick around on your phone for a little while.

And it's a good thing that you do. Because once you actually pick up your phone, you discover a message from your boss.

Thankfully, they aren’t pulling the typical retail bullshit by asking you to come in early. If they had, you’d probably already be late.

No. Fate has decided to smile down upon you today, so you don’t have to go until later. The powers that be have decided that they’d rather have you around for the mid-afternoon rush, which you would have missed had you come in and left at your scheduled time.

So now you’re basically going in two hours late so that you’ll stay two hours past your scheduled time. Just to make sure that the crew will have you around during today’s anticipated rush.

Which genuinely sucks, but you’d rather be busy than bored. And thanks to management being so stingy, you can just leave at your expected time, because no one is going to give you overtime and you don’t work for free.

With your whole day now thrown off, you sigh as you begin to dick around with your phone, just absently trying to find something to do with yourself now that you’ve got nothing to do.

As per usual, you’ve got a bunch of notifications. The majority of them being missed calls, courtesy of scam callers out to find a way to steal the thousands of dollars that you don’t have.

There is one weird looking notification, though. From your email.

On your phone, it just looks like a garbled string of text. Which usually means a weird link or a picture was sent to you.

Probably another scammer trying to get information from you. Might as well get rid of it…

You pull up your email account on your phone, only to discover that the message in question cannot be deleted. It's behaving more like one of those annoying little ads that pop up around the top of your emails. Only it's clearly not an ad, because the actual ad is above it.

So… Yeah, you’ve probably been hacked.

Shit.

Fuck!

You click on the email to see what the suspected scammer wants. There’s probably a list of threats or instructions detailing what is expected of you if you don’t want your information being misused, or something like that.

What greets you when you open the email is a weird little animation.

A really well made one, but a weird one nonetheless.

For a few seconds, you just absently stare at the video, not really bothering to take in any information popping up in little speech bubbles above the Databeast.

There’s something familiar about it. The Databeast in the video.

It's a cute little cat-like creature sitting on an envelope. One with huge ears and big sparkly eyes.

Big feet. Small “hands”. Glasses. Purple fur…

Wait.

Wait, holy shit-

You suddenly fixate on the video to see what the speech bubble says.

“Hey. Friend? Friend, are you listening?” The Databeast asks, its little face now one of concern and confusion as it stares at you through the screen. “... Can you turn up the volume, maybe? You’ll probably understand me better if you can hear me.”

You nearly drop your phone.

Holy shit.

HOLY SHIT.

You recognize that Databeast now! It's one of the ambassadors of the Digiverse!

Aster!

After staring at your phone in absolute shock for… What amounts to an unnecessary amount of time, you press the button on the side of your phone to turn up the volume.

“Hello?” A quiet voice calls from the speaker as the volume first comes on. “Hello? Can you hear me meow? The volume seems to be on.”

You tentatively nod as you continue to stare down at the “animation” playing on your phone.

Aster has a really cute voice. Somewhat cartoony, like she’s coming off of helium. But not so cartoony that her voice would get annoying after more than a few minutes of conversation.

“Oh! Good! Now” The Databeast replies, before audibly clearing their throat “as I was saying! My name is Aster. I am one of the five Databeast Ambassadors. My primary purpose is to help any new players of Adventures in the Dataverse get set up with the game!” She explains, making sure to quickly and effectively introduce herself while stating her intended purpose. “I am also here to congratulate you on having been selected to join in on the fun! So… Congratulations!” She adds, pausing to dramatically light off what appears to be a party streamer.

One which she seemingly pulled out of thin air. Which makes sense, because… Well she’s in the digital world. The laws of physics there aren’t quite like what exists in the real world.

Her voice also gets somewhat louder and more distorted every so often. Like when she said her name, or the name of the game.

Your jaw drops somewhat as you absorb this information.

You awkwardly bring a hand up to point at your chest, all the while staring down at your phone with a look of shock.

“I-I’ve been chosen. Me?!” You ask, your voice cracking somewhat at the start. Likely because of how stunned you are that this is even happening.

“Well, yes! As I have been trying to say, you ‘----------’, have been randomly selected to receive an invitation to play Adventures in the Dataverse! Should you accept this invitation, it will be my duty to help you get started!” Aster enthusiastically replies, referring to you by your full name.

As she does, she claps her little paws together while smiling up at you.

“Now! Before we can proceed, I must ask if you are willing to accept this invitation!” She states. As she does, she tilts her head to one side while lifting up her right paw.

A little popup appears right next to her, with “Yes” or “No” written as options.

“Please select either YES or No by tapping on the popup. Otherwise, I would appreciate it if you could reply clearly and with a raised voice, YES or NO. I will wait to do anything else until your answer has been received!” She explains, before falling into what appears to be an idle animation as she waits for your response.

Reflexively, you try to say “Yes!”. But your voice cracks again. So you quickly shut your mouth, before tapping your finger against the screen. All the while you hope and pray that you don’t fat-finger this popup and accidentally reject the invitation.

Thankfully, you don’t. Which means that you are officially on track to getting started on this game!

“Excellent!” Aster happily exclaims once you’ve made your selection. Little fireworks pop off behind her, further accentuating how excited the Databeast must be to get you started!

She then audibly clears her throat again. Which makes her sort of sound like a worn out squeaky toy.

“Welcome ‘----------’, to Adventures in the Dataverse! As a new player, your first course of action is to collect and set up your Datawatch! Please go and retrieve it now. You will find it wherever your physical, paper mail is usually delivered.” She states.

You nearly drop your phone (again) as you immediately rush towards the front door.

You practically run out to your mailbox to check inside, and when you do, you find a small object sitting in the middle of it.

A Datawatch.

As the name might suggest, it is a device that resembles a wrist watch, except with a slightly larger square screen.

You momentarily put your phone down on top of your mailbox so that you can put it on.

Unsurprisingly, the Datawatch fits around your wrist perfectly. Almost as if it was specifically designed to be able to fit you, and you alone.

“Wonderful!” Aster exclaims, all the while clapping her little paws together. You can hear her clapping, and once you pick your phone back up, you can see it. You see it right along with her happy little smile.

You then watch as she jumps up off of the giant envelope that she’s been sitting on top of.

She stands next to it with her arms out beside her as the envelope adjusts itself so that it can face you properly.

“On to the next step!” She states, an audible purring sound now coming from your phone as her smile grows even more excited. “Together, the other ambassadors and I, as well as the Datamaster herself, have selected the perfect Databeast Egg, just for you! This Egg will go on to hatch into your very first Databeast friend! All that you need to do in order to claim your Egg is click on the Envelope! A notification will appear on your Datawatch once you have received your Egg, thus finalizing your admission into the game!” She explains, giving you all of the instructions that you need in order to take the final steps necessary to get started with the game.

Your hand trembles faintly as you reach up to tap on the envelope -

[HOT-THEQOO] 240421 The mystery of SM singers’ album flyer solved today (feat. YoonA)

Context: YoonA talked about the ad flyers inserted in albums which were often complained by SM artists, but it was precisely because of that, which resulted in her attending the Saturday Open Audition and in turn getting in SM and debuting

At time of posting 22 Apr 5.30pm KST: 60.3K views, 461 comments (will translate interesting & non-repetitive comments)

1. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋIt’s a precious advertisement that brought YoonA here 5. If it brought YoonA here, I would have to keep putting the ad inㅋㅋㅋㅋ 6. If you hand out 5,000 flyers and get YoonA, then it is a cost effective business... 8. If the girl who came over as a result of the flyer is YoonA, then I will never stop inserting the flyers in ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 12. If its YoonA, then it is a freaking huge harvest (?) right ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 16. Ah if that is the case, that I approved (of inserting the flyer in the album) 29. Ah I understood the reason that you can’t give up since its YoonA 32. YoonA came after seeing the flyers, so how can I stop inserting ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 38. Wowㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I won’t complain about it anymore ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 52. Insane ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ heol... there are actually people who saw it and went for the audition ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋand that person is YoonA ya 62. This is worth it 84. If you hand out 10,000 flyers and one YoonA came along, then it is a huge win 88. If the result of putting in the advertisement is YoonA.. then I am convinced 90. So you are saying that YoonA saw the flyer and came over? If that is the case, I guess I have to keep putting in until the company goes bankrupt.. 91. If it’s YoonA,,, then that is a right thing to do 100. I will also continue putting the flyers in no matter how much I get criticized for it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 101. Wow, if a fortune star like YoonA is the one that came to me because of the flyer, it would be worth including the flyer in all the singers’ albums even if it costs more money... 102. SM: (You guys don’t know..!) 107. If it is YoonA who saw it and came over... then I think the flyers would still be added in even 30 years later 111. What do you mean, a fortune star like YoonA actually came to you by herself ㅋㅋThat is awesome 116. Suddenly it becomes understandable 125. Ah, such a deep meaning.. I won’t complain about it anymore 173. Once you had such an experience (of getting YoonA through this method), there is no way you can give up on (putting in the flyer)...... 179. I always thought YoonA was scouted on the streets.... but no, since she came through audition, of course I have to keep inserting the flyer... 192. People who do not have sufficient information from elsewhere might saw the flyers, and there is even a slight chance of having a girl like YoonA coming to audition herself ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ there is no way one can give up on such possibility ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 201. Ah, then let’s put in 10 copies 238. If the success case is YoonA, then I fully agree 362. I won the lottery, so I have no choice but to keep going ㅋㅋㅋ 399. Anyone can go for the Saturday Open Audition, but it is famous for being extremely difficult to get in. YoonA is famous for being chosen from there.. it is through a flyer that was put in the album a long time ago ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 407. You should have told us in advance... that you made YoonA joined the company because of the flyer.... then there is no choice but to keep putting the flyer in. 418. ㅋㅋㅋEven though I’m not a fan but I can understand why. ㅋㅋㅋㅋthere is no way one can miss that 1% possibility 429. Isn’t this YoonA’s fault ㅋㅋㅋㅋ SM had used up all their luck and usefulness in that one go (with YoonA), so I guess you can stop it now 431. The reaction is so funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 454. No, if YoonA saw it and came for the audition, then I will keep adding it in, even if it is just because of superstition ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 461. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋAll for the sake of getting the second YoonA..
