Kurokawa Rei’s Birthday PriZoom 8/8/2021

YOOOOOO

Reminder that prizooms are also accessible to everyone and don’t require any Japanese residency confirmation!! If you’re interested in attending, please go and support kinpri!!!

Soundboard hell I love you so much

So this time I only went to the second showing for Rei’s birthday event! I also chose the chat-only room because that’s what I started out with and I loved it so I wanted that same experience again. They were showing sss part 4 with the Rei+Hijiri PrismChat as a bonus! Which was perfect because :

1) Ever since Jin’s birthday I’ve been missing the cheering screening experience (even if it’s not in a theater it counts!!! the community is what makes it!!!!!!)

2) I did mention being curious as to if anyone would try to hit YO to Platonic Sword in Jin’s post

3) I was interested in the Rei+Hijiri PrismChat!

RakutenTicket sends the link to the soundboard early and apparently they use the same link for every showing in the event so I got to listen in on the first course’s soundboard hell while waiting for the second course to start! I was wondering if people tried to YO along to the lives in every prizoom event, made me happy to hear that they do! Oddly enough, I find that cacophony soothing in a way? I’d love for them to put out a demo soundboard or something so you can just play around with it whenever

Also, not sure about the actual gender statistics of who attends prizooms, but it seems like most people choose the male voice option regardless? Probably because the male YO sound is funnier and being synced with everyone adds to it?

There weren’t any audio problems this time, but the video quality was noticeably worse. While attending I was thinking that I actually liked the audio problems since they unintentionally make prizooms more fun thanks to how it heightens the community experience (everyone spams 頑張ってー/ “ganbatte” together!!!). With bad video it’s just kind of sad haha. I mean I guess it’d be better to have no issues at all (...maybe....... it does increase the fun) but if lower resolution is the trade off for audio problems then I’d prefer audio problems.....

In the little waiting period before part 4 actually started (takes a while for participants to trickle in since people are let into the rooms and verified manually), they play music which is nice!!! Especially since it helps for cheering practice. Daisuki Refrain was particularly memorable since it was so YO-able...... made me think about the contrast between Shin’s actual song and Platonic Sword (which has a reputation as the uncheerable song). Nice to see that even without mics or being able to properly cheer, the feelings remain consistent between (what I’ve heard about) theater showings and prizoom chat-only rooms!

Platonic Sword actually is really difficult to YO to but people tried their best anyways, the only agreed upon part to YO to is after every new pose in that one bit where Shine dies a bit and then stabs himself.

Part 4 is SUPER SERIOUS sometimes because of all the prism messenger plot so the soundboard is just DEAD SILENT during those parts because everyone’s just in terror. Really adds to the experience since people try to cheer as much as possible! The most used sounds for the Shine parts are just “ME TOO” whenever he talks about love (people simp for Shine!) and “出たー! / AAA THERE IT IS!!!” just whenever he appears/stabs someone/does that eye thing.

What surprised me the most though was how many people REALLY LIKE SANADA??? There’s just SO MUCH CHEERING whenever he appears???? It gave me whiplash every time. Sanada is actually my 3rd favorite character (after Jin and Joji because I have awful taste so I love them and their dynamic as a trio) and I really didn’t expect anyone else to like him because he’s just horrible?? I hate-love him. But apparently people genuinely love Sanada. Honestly the most terrifying memory coming out of a part 4 screening to me.

BRILLIANT OATH’S CHEERING WAS REALLY GOOD TOO!!! Mics aren’t allowed in the chat-only rooms so nobody can properly sing along for the audience part but that’s NOT A PROBLEM THANKS TO THE SOUNDBOARD!!! Everyone just spams YO along to every syllable and it’s just SO FUNNY. Like there’s this super emotional moment where a new deity is born to regrant the prism sparkle in a world that the gods abandoned.... through the sheer power of everyone yelling YO. Beautiful

A lot of the notable participants (like the Victoria cosplayer) from Jin’s showing were here too. It wasn’t as crazy as Jin’s but it was cool seeing all the cosplayers and everyone’s plushies! Also cool seeing that the person who made the cute custom Jin plushie made one for Rei too??

💖 💖 💖

Here’s a link to my recording of the bonus !

Luna actually already translated the bonus PrismChat between Rei and Hijiri (thank you Luna!!) before I got around to finishing up this post! If you’re reading this, then go and give her translation work the appreciation it deserves!! Also go read her new prism rush translation!

(I actually haven’t gotten around to finishing reading it myself because between making prizoom posts and just being busy with life I wasn’t able to properly focus and give it my full attention ;;;>_> BUT AFTER THIS!!)

And errr try not to spread my recording around too much just in case if any staff decides that archiving content that will probably never be released officially or translated is a reason to start cracking down on making things less accessible for an overseas audience ^^;;;;;;

💖 💖 💖

ANYWAYS!!!!

IT WAS REALLY FUN!!!! It was really nice being able to attend a prizoom again!!

For the feedback form, I put in a request to give Sanada a birthday so he can get the prizoom treatment because oh my god people go crazy for him. Unfortunately I do too. They really need to give him the Yamada treatment and market him more, I’m pretty sure Sanada’s more popular than Yamada too? OooOo kinpri you want to put out more content and take my money ooooOoOoooOoooo

And lastly, reminder that anyone can attend prizooms!!! And if you’re interested then you really should!!!! I’ll be posting a guide for the ticket buying process later to help with that!!!

“To everything I’ve ever lost, thank you for setting me free.”

This event happened in Tony William's backyard, Mount Victoria, NSW. Fri 27- Sun 29 November 2020.

This report will swing from serious to joking, but will at all times be genuine with the best intentions; you will just have to try your best to navigate the subtle or dramatic changes for yourself, bearing that in mind.

This report is a true (made up on the spot then heavily edited) account of events I experienced within the beating heart of endurance running, the true spiritual home of ultra, the best concept to emerge in running since putting one foot in front of the other: A Last One Standing Endurance Race. (LOSER)

The Blue Goat Backyard LOSER is a little shorter than the official distance of 6.7 something kms, at just 5.23km a lap, but what it falls short of in distance, it more than makes up for in rugged, uneven, highly technical terrain- which pretty much makes it Australia’s toughest LOS event.

Whatever its comparable status, agreed or not, or however you approach it personally, it’s definitely an authentically challenging, scenic course, held within a supportive, fun, party atmosphere:

The buzz at the Blue Goat & Fatboy Slim’s Big Beach Boutique II -

equally awesome & hazy in my mind- and I was at both.

These LOS events will work for anyone who enjoys to run. The Blue Goat Backyard will work for anyone who enjoys to run challenging trails. And if you don’t like running or trails or a challenge, then they will suit anyone who likes to party while other people do. So they’re great events for everyone.

The LOS format will especially suit you if you are on a path to self-discovery, self-transcendence or to just see how far you can personally go and run for, in one go. You might be surprised to find that in just turning up to have a go, you discover new things about running, runners & yourself.

LOS event vibes & hubs will differ somewhat in style, and you can expect them to be as diverse and unique as their hosts- they should all provide a brilliant gateway for some amazing personal journeys in running & in life. This one delivered.

The LOS format, and specifically the way that AAA racing & BMF organise events, means ANYONE of any ability, can come and enjoy the experience of their running lifetime, seeing how far they can go, or set a target of laps or distance and create a PB in a unique, supportive, safe and fun setting.

When I say party and fun, I mean it. They had the most amazing Britpop and other timeless classics (Creedence/Stones/Beatle’s) blasting out the speaker all day and night; there was also a Robbie Williams song in there.....

Training and attitude will only take you so far- a lairy shirt must do the rest.

In spite of the bushfires & the pandemic, this event still happened, as seen & predicted by me, which in part is why I felt so deeply that I had to be there. You can’t escape your destiny, really, so you had better make it double awesome when it arrives.

After last years event ,which slipped under my radar for some reason, Tony’s backyard pretty much got burned to the ground in bushfires which massively damaged the whole Blue Mountains & Hawkesbury areas. There were also floods, which actually helped stop some of the fires but which bought their own destruction. This all happened during the end of 2019 and early 2020, after which everything went tits up, particularly for gyms, trainers & organised racing- due to the reaction to the COVID 19 bullshit pandemic.

Fun on one of the Blue Goat Bees, earlier in the year.

Getting involved behind the scene for this years event was great fun. Seeing it transform gradually until the race day was awesome, it went from burnt sticks, charcoal and indistinguishable trails to looking like a nature trail again by race day. It still has a way to go, but it’ll get there; it’s still a beautiful course which i parts feels like you are in the Grand Canyon at Blackheath, or the Grose valley, which are only just down the road.

If I’m correct, I don’t think anyone really thought this event was gonna be on, due to the COVID, but I had no doubt at all… . I knew I had to be there helping out and I knew I had to be there on that starting line and knew I was definitely going there to be the last one standing. This is not to say that it was time to put my feet up and just waltz in there like it was easy and in the bag - far from it. I trained hard. Really hard.

So call me mystic Steve if you like, but months prior to the event I bought a ticket and started manifesting, which is a pretty simple & powerful practice, not to be underestimated at all….it’s very much like goal setting to be honest, except there is a spiritual dimension and much that you can’t explain or prove scientifically. It works very well with the art of training your body mind & spirit for tough challenges and healing, too, which really go hand in hand. You basically write your story then walk into it.

Law of attraction/ manifestation.

This write up will cover some matters of running & strategy but mostly matters of the mind, heart & spirit. I present this to the world in genuine gratitude for the experience and I hope that it inspires others to be on that starting corral of an LOS event, wherever that may be, whatever your age, ability or experience.

How does it all work, this LOS?

Every hour on the hour, you have to be ready in the starting corral to go and run your lap, then back in time to do whatever you need to do-put your feet up, go to the loo, refuel or maybe have a banana & dance like no one is watching you- or in my case, like you are Bez from the Happy Mondays - whatever you do, however you roll, you have to be back in the staring corral to go do just one more lap, again. It’s really as simple as that. One loop, one hour, make of it what you will and what you can; bring out your soul & enjoy!

Should you do just one lap, you might find yourself in the position of saying, well why not see if I can do just one more? And so it goes…

These events are happening now, they are quite new & fresh and trust me, they will stand the test of time, because as I keep saying, there’s nothing conceptually better than the Last One Standing Format - it really is the Rock n Roll of endurance running & every event that happens has been a living testimony to that in one way or another.

Even during a global pandemic, nothing could hold the LOS back; in fact it just got stronger & rose to another level. While other events we imploding, postponing, being moved virtually and seeing reductions in numbers and interest, the annual Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra, usually in Tennessee, went ahead, on a satellite basis, across the world, live on the internet, and made history with record breaking performances & a once in a lifetime twist to the team dynamic; a twist so good, and a global audience buzz so great, that even the satellite event format will definitely go forward in some form or other into 2021 and beyond…..so many benefits to keeping things local and compet8ing more widely.....

The Australian Team sporting their AURA gear ready to take on the world.

Each country put a team together, which lifted the LOS format into another dimension. Instead of competing against your own team mates & globally in Tennessee, each country had their own teams on their own loops, competing against other teams. So in effect, this bought teams together and made the connection between the assist & the Last One Standing less of a battle of breaking the other down and more of a battle of building the other up, supporting them and remaining strong for the team. How good is that to see in competitive endurance running!?

Clint Eastwood, still cool after all these years.

I fell in love with the LOS format when I watched the Clint Eastwood Last One Standing, hosted by AAA Racing in Oxley Park Queensland and it was great to watch many of the same familiar faces, with the same party atmosphere, running together and taking on the world at the World Champs. Massive, genuine kudos to the whole team from the Clint Eastwood & The Big Dog satellite event, all runners and behind the scenes – and Sam Penny needs special mention for the GoPro awesomeness, without which I may never have had that fly on the wall buzz of being at the event.

So, runners of all ages and abilities, whatever your goal, this is your opportunity to get up and at it & be part of something life-changing, challenging & massively fun, one short lap at a time.

Don’t go thinking you have to be superman, genetically gifted or even an ultrarunner or even a ‘runner’ Basically just ditch any thought or label that creates doubt or fear or holds you back and simply get up and go for it. You just need to be willing to turn up and have a go & enjoy the experience.

“Anyone can do anything” Tony Williams, Blue Mountains Fitness.

So, there was this running race my running mates told me about & I can’t remember when I made the decision to be there but it was also around the time a running mate was talking about helping out building trails and tracks and I know this must sound vague and I’m probably getting my wires crossed but I somehow put these two ideas together & they gave birth to the idea that I needed to be at the Blue Goat Backyard. And that’s how it all began….

Thanks to Tony & Alun – the whole BMF & AAA Racing collective , Fabiano & Sean for being on hand to help and support and look after us through the night and day and Keith for the awesome photos- popping up all over the course to catch candid snaps- all the sponsors, too. T8 for the awesome shorts and underpants, Papadino’s for the Pizzas & the prize voucher even made peace with Tailwind and had a recoverite after the event.

Thanks to all the people I met and worked with on the several bees & for all the care, imagination & spirit that put energy into making this happen- the whole event- not just the LOS; all the work that goes into delivering a vision into reality, planting the seed & helping it grow.

Hawkesbury Trail Runners

Massive shout out to the Hawkesbury Trail Runners! So glad you all came to support the event you fell in love with last year before a period of tragedy hit the area and awesome to see you at the event (well, sort of -in the heat of the moment and the day, socialising was very short lived due to needing to cool down, fuel up and get back out; and after the event, I puked up & conked out!) Managed to wave and mumble to a few of you and had a chat with regular run buddies Mike & Vicki.

You all did so well, especially in that fierce heat and I’m quite fond of the memories of just blurting random stuff out in the zone- the Britpop running the event of your lifetime zone….

Congrats to Jackie and Claudio in their runs, had a brief chat with Jackie in the fierce heat....also to Matt & Jen from Plus Fitness running the marathon and half respectively on a tough course in tough conditions.

All any of us really need to do is turn up and make the most of it, and that’s exactly what everyone did; and that’s how a great event works, really, so let’s all do it again next year! Mystic Steve predict big things happening in the Blue Goat Backyard for 2021…..!

Whilst I was busy running and didn’t get to join in the party for too long & during the later phases and the high heat was stumbling around like a bull in a china shop, it was huge fun singing, dancing &, running all night and day. The energy I drew from Britpop was out of this world! I’ve never sung & danced at an Ultra or race before to my knowledge. It just got better with every lap!

Massive thanks for all the runners I had a chitchat with and shared a song joke or story with, however mish mash it all was, it was great fun all night and day - and apologies for the audible fart and swearing- it was quite challenging keeping this under the radar at times.

Everyone who stepped up to that course was a winner whatever the goal, distance or outcome. Sorry if I missed you on the day, or if I didn't miss you but wasn't making much sense in the delirium of hot endurance. Here’s some awesome photos:

Rob heads up to the Corral.

It is said, when you blow this horn, Beer & Pizza arrives

The drone, sounds like a swarm of bees.

In all the excitement I forgot to get a t shirt.

Got some awesome car stickers though and part of a Goat’s skull.

When I’m in the zone I often adopt a different persona and mindset- I’m not the same often reserved introvert as when you see me under normal conditions; I guess the animated extroversion gets magnified , as you’d expect from anyone giving the performance of their life up on stage.

There are moments of surrender, where I’m in total alignment with higher self, emitting my frequency with a genuine smile & peace into the world and that is where the practice creates the art.....

Endurance running is all about finding your inner peace, well, sort of....

I think Alun’s singing Tom Jones here- I’ve zoned out to Oasis classics

I missed the presentation- seems to be a trend of mine (happened after the Hounslow Double when, after accidentally busting in on the elite presentation, did I mention bull in china shop already? I went and nodded off in the car!) That was the inaugural year when Tony took out the first place in the Double by a long, long way.

After it was all over, I puked up then momentarily imploded and had a lie down.

Deep relaxation is really good for you.

The medics gave me ice packs and aimed a big fan on me (was really nice to have a fan at one of my races, actually, i could get used to that) They took good care of me, so thank you for the care and the cups of tea and water I recall there were two of you and you were lovely. I had a power snooze for a couple of minutes, which I think actually lasted a couple of hours, and I cooled down, which brought me back to life.

Before this, I fondly recall running up to the corral giving the goats a wave the final time and being greeted by everyone going wild.

Hello gorgeous.

I blurted out a speech, that I know would've made total sense to everyone if it actually left my lips the way it was written by my heart- the former not sure, the latter no doubts. Basically gratitude, peace & love, keep going, never give up and things will get better- as in running so in life. ❤️

In spite of it being the hottest day of the year so far and genuinely a tough course we had a lot of laughs and fun moments in the middle of it all. Some of it is a Blur but most of it was Oasis and also notable tunes also from the Stone Roses, Muse, Radiohead, Prodigy, Rolling Stones, The Verve, Doves, Manics, REM and many many more

Music is medicine & I’m so grateful to my musical brothers & sisters.

There were several different events happening at the same time during the heat and middle of the day and it became a little confusing at times with all the different energies going off around the hub, but once back into the peace & calm of focussing on the running every hour, everything made sense and came together. The music fired me up like a second wind every lap, I thought I was dreaming at one point, like I could not have scripted the day better if I’d have sat there and made up my own story about a perfect day out running around with Britpop classics in the background, because that’s exactly what it was like!

Again, never underestimate the power of manifestation, positive thinking and the art of raising your vibration so that you attract good, positive people & experiences into your life.

I can’t wait to go to Queensland now and join in for an all weekend running party at the Clint Eastwood. I can see myself dancing and singing my way round that course al day and night and day and.....well, if they’ll let me in!

Correct, you also swear and sing a fair bit as well.

I’ve said it before I’ll keep saying it and you heard it from me first: There is nothing conceptually better in running than a Last One Standing Endurance Race. It’s the Rock n Roll of endurance running. It’s raw, simple, pure & true and it happens in the now. It provides a stage for you to give the greatest performance of your life- every present moment- every hour, on the hour & all the minutes in between. It really gives you the opportunity to be loud & proud and really turn up, (not just to be fully in the present moment) your training and turn up your performance to the next level.

Turn up, turn it up & BE LOUD!

As in running so in life; God calls upon you to bring all that you are to the starting corral and step up into the very highest version of yourself. All your experiences, the culmination of physical mental & spiritual training, as you step into space, out past the music (of Britpop!) into the blinding lights, then the darkness & then the many winding turns that lead us to who knows where, because there is no finish, is no end….. the end is just the beginning, of another loop, another lap- another chance to shine.

Competitive mindset bypass. There is no finish, there is no competition, there is no advantage to being the fastest runner, no disadvantage to being the slowest. Anyone who can complete a lap in time to be back ready to go out on another, has an equal chance at being the last one standing to complete that beautiful, identical repetition of what we all love: simply running in nature; one foot in front of the other, moving forward, fully grounded in the present moment; putting the practice of our meditative flow state into effect as best we can.

The reality of endurance trail running is that it is a tough struggle and your achievements are hard earned. Such is anything worth doing. And I’m sure anyone who heard me stumbling, swearing singing & shouting through the dark and the day, will attest that I am not the exactly an oasis of calm- I’m probably more like Oasis the band.

As many of you may already realise or guess from reading this, I don’t take the competitive, type a personality, or egoic side of running at all seriously. I do genuinely regard running as part of a spiritual practice. It can at times be done purely as a spiritual practice, like meditation or Yoga or making music. Running can bring us together, individually and collectively.

Not every time that run do I run spiritually, just as not every time I sit down do I meditate or every time I pick up my guitar do I make medicine music; sometimes I just make a noise or just sit or just go and run and zone out to music, However, there is a great light to be found when you just get out into nature and breathe and move gracefully, gratefully and in complete alignment with the flow of the universe and everything in it.

The Bluegoat track, like a spiritual path, is rocky, uneven, twisting & turning, it requires total concentration & surrender to the process; still you may trip, slip, maybe fall; there will be blood, sweat & tears….you need to climb & descend, there are milestones, you meet others at different stages in their journeys and there is no finish in sight; there are surprises, tests and you find yourself back at the beginning with each cycle….

There are tears and laughter and moments you don’t even comprehend at the time. It can be dark and ugly and chew you up and spit you out many times, all day long in fact....until you surrender to the process and let go.....Then you may see, there are obstacles and trials, but they are not in your way; the only thing standing in your way is you – and that’s really more of an illusion you created than a real living person, so you just get your unreal self out of the way and let your best self shine- & shine it does….

You can tell this is lap 1 - my legs are the still the same colour as my shirt.

All you need to succeed, at whatever you turn your mind to, is a single-minded determinism- pure focus & intention of putting one foot in front of the other and deciding not to stop until you have succeeded. May you spirit drive your machine wherever you may roam, knowing within you , is where you are home,.

So now we know the power of manifestation and endurance and the value of community & service to others, the plan must be created to use apply energy skills to seed & grow something of genuine, lasting value in this world. So that’s what’s gonna happen….it’s out there in the Universe, God is my witness, momentum is building, so watch this space….like, not literally here this is just a web page.

Whilst I train & participate in events during all conditions, phases & biorhythms, I do love a full moon. Clear full moon nights are magical & highly energetic; Blue Moon rising at the Blue Goat was perfectly poetic!

I'm not knocking a new moon, by polar contrast, or any other phase, but the energy was just right and I guess I was feeling lucky.

Let’s talk about feeling ‘lucky’ as I’ve already stated my predictions and what I positively manifested with my energies & intentions form the moment I made the instant decision to be at this race.

I basically created my own luck through being completely honest with myself whether this was something I could achieve.

Did I have what it takes to run at an LOS event? Of course, I did, no doubts at all. Why? Not arrogance or confidence, but the format itself. You can’t really lose in an LOS unless you are the last one standing! So going to win is going lose, and losing is glorious in all its forms. There is no shame in the DNF (Did Not Finish) at all if you’ve given your all. The DNF in other events is nothing to strive for or celebrate, but the DNF in the LOSER is a test to see how far you can go….what could be more pure? And the only one who doesn’t get to fully reach their potential on the day; reach the peak of what they can do on that day, during their race time, is the Last One Standing.

I created my own luck by setting my intention and my energy to creating & following a training program that would enable me to achieve my goals. I visualised being the last one standing for months and I trained like it was in the bag already, because that was what I felt deeply.

I knew it was my time & I had the God given ability to create my story & walk right into it. I said many times during the event that it was just perfect and that I couldn’t have scripted it better myself. I stepped into a higher version of myself that I’d created through some very tough training & some heartfelt actions; in another sense it felt like I was on stage performing.

Apart from key milestones that marked out the path of consistent focus and intuitive training, as I regained fitness from hiatus, there were some very specific and tough challenges that I set myself in order to prepare for a race of this nature. A race that just goes & goes & goes interminably requires you to leave no stone unturned regards you physical body, your mental ability your nutrition plan & your spirit. Someone once said runners don’t’ run with their legs they run with their arms. I believe runners. once the body is trained sufficiently, run with their minds- and the mind is fuelled by limitless energy & power of the spirit.

So you go through every motion of training and preparing your physical body and you feed you mind and your spirit with positive thoughts and genuine love for self & for others. If you don’t see this kind of thing in training programs, then you soon will do just as soon as I can get my shit together…..

I’d watched the Clint Eastwood & I’d watched the Big Dog & I fell in love with the concept of the LOS. I fell in love with all the people in the front row. The runners slogging it out in the Clint Eastwood LOS & the Australian team at Bigs Backyard Ultra satellite event. I decided in a moment that I wanted to be part of it, so I made it happen; the moment I’d made my mind up, everything started falling into place and I was sent signs and opportunities that I had to take without a moments thought. I knew that everything surrounding this journey had to be centered on other, something outside of, larger than self.

An ex Army bloke from the UK RunGrahamRun was doing a mental health charity treadmill World Record helping blokes with mental health and suicide prevention. The run was to complete 21 marathons in 7 days – on a treadmill! . He invited teams to rival of beat him in the challenge. So I supported this and set out to do just 7 marathons in 7 days.

This set me up very nicely for the next opportunity in my path, which was to support Mark Avery doing a 20 marathons in 20 days challenge for Gotch4Life and Run4MentalFitness- an Australian blokes charity helping with suicide prevention and setting up places for blokes to engage in ways that deal with the root of bloke issues. Safe places to share stories, feelings and concerns without judgement.

Instead of just marathons, I actually did ultramarathons and also added in a lot of cycling. I know how to listen to my body and push it through adaptations with fasting, nutrition & specifically focussed rotations across all terrains and relevant speeds and intensities. You are really just calibrating a complex God driven physical body through a series of experiences in order to achieve a specific goal.

The goal in this instance was conceptually perfect in that it was technically interminable, ie. kind of eternal. You simply had to train to go as far as you could go; so you had to see how close to the edge you could get to that point in the training, without breaking yourself.

I genuinely pushed my limits and discovered more about running and endurance than all the hours my studying had taught me, and infinitely more than debating with ultra coaches online could ever have revealed. I trained and pushed harder and longer than ever before and also balanced that with more rest & recovery and fine tuning than ever before. I applied every technique I knew and discovered exactly what nutrition worked best in all situations.

After all the training and the experience of others doubts, I thought it would be quite amusing to win one of the toughest ultra endurance challenges in Australia while singing and dancing & wearing a lairy pink shirt and cargo shorts I got from Big W, fuelled up with honey water, bananas and hemp and walnut oil . I had a plan, a 50 hour plan. It consisted of 30 litres of honey water (1kg raw honey per 10l) 25 ripe bananas, 250ml x Hemp seed oil 250ml x Walnut oil, a few vitamin e capsules and a few coq10 capsules.

So let that be a cheeky lesson to all you very serious runners in your expensive compression gear, with your gadgets & gimmicks and fancy nutritional products & lord knows what else you use, slogging away to the beat of your watch, as I did before a great meltdown of over training and loss of genuine joy- in running and in life. In many ways the way I run today is a result of hard lessons and failures, or going too far too son, and burning out. I’ve been obsessed with a quicker this a quicker that, gotta beat the last time every time.....lets set an unrealistic goal....it slowly takes all the joy out of your passion like all addictions inevitably do.

Let this light shine on those who talk the talk so readily in their little cliques and so called training groups, especially those who have personally attacked me and tried to shut me down or censor the story of my training and my experiences for reasons best known to their egos and projected issues. I forgive ya.

May the light of my achievements and those of my brothers & sisters- everyone walking the walk- everyone saying I can- illuminate the dark attitudes of the ‘can’t’do this ‘can’t’ do that- and the put downs and rationalising words of so called science, and disbelief in your training, thinking , fuelling, wider wellness strategies..... genuine experiences......May my brothers & sisters who are in doubt, or disliking, hating, fearing, not loving, put down the ego, and find a better way. May my walk inspire others to walk the walk and to never say they can’t do something, or be held back by others as to what they think they can or can’t achieve. And may I long take all my own best advice back to my own heart as well and never forget it.

Everyone, today, just get outside and get moving and enjoy what you are doing and be grateful that you can do what you can do; and you’ll find that you can do a lot more and a lot more and a lot more......

Genuine footage from an online Ultra running research conference.

I know what it’s like to lose things, we all do, but there’s no use banging on about that old story; a great spiritual teacher recently told me that I had to put that down and never pick it up again.... and so it is. So know this - an event that celebrates losing in all its glory is of divine significance when you are running on a spiritual path. You ether win or your learn ; and in a race/journey with no winners, everybody learns, which is a glorious & pure win win paradox.

It takes the biggest fear in endurance running - the dreaded DNF (Did Not Finish) and turns it into a glorious badge of honour. A badge that says you gave your all. You went as far as YOU could go on that day, in that place. There is nothing to fear in the LOS regarding a DNF. You really cannot lose.....

......unless you win!? Ooops, well, oh well, I think I can handle it.

I wasn’t quite ready for my glorious DNF just yet, so I became the biggest LOSER. And I’ll just have to wait and see where my glorious limits truly lie.....

I caught quite a tan out there.

So, after an extended power snooze I revived myself and had some pizza and some Goat’s pish, and enjoyed the hospitality and company of Tony,Alun & Susannah, thereafter kipping on the sofa for the night, where upon I made a swift exit the next morning, before the England v Wales Rugby came on....I think I might’ve predicted the score and dIdn’t want to hang about for it.

Truth is, I had to get back to talk to my son Jack (also race strategy/challenge consultant) on the phone and then on Zoom and told him the news.. He was pleased I won, and notwithstanding the pep talks about the true nature of taking part, he rightly likes it when I win. I think it has a positive effect when your son knows that you’ve gone and done something a bit special, even if it might not make full sense to him now, it may well help him in the future, so that's a win win. I actually asked him during one of the training cycles (20 maras in 20 days) whether I should beat everyone on the leaderboard or let the organiser take the top spot. He said nah, beat him, I don’t think he’ll mind if you win. So that’s what I did.... thanks for the tip matey!

So here endeth the tale of a fantastic weekend and experience, can’t wait for next year, see if we can get double the numbers starting and smash some course records. Hoping to see more of my running buddies on that starting corral with me having a dance and a song and then heading out onto the endless, beautiful loops of our own personal limits...... anything can and always does happen in a race- sorry journey- of this kind.

You may be next years LOS, with me to help you to go as far as I possibly can, leaving YOU to do just one last loop and be the biggest LOSER on the day? You know it makes sense. Big love from Steve. :)

BRO tell me abt yr saints row ocs. all of them. literally anything. tell me what yr ACHING to tell. I wanna hear it 👀👀👀👀

aaa Jake okok!!! 😭💕 I dont have too many tbh, they're more from Chris' backstory, like friendships/relationships/family etc and not like in the saints gang hngnfbc sorry if this gets long LMAO

okay well ofc there's his parents and baby brother :')

Victoria Ramos Florez is his mom and she spent her time in college when Chris was 11 to become a nurse, since sr1-2 she's work at Stilwater's memorial hospital, during post sr2 she goes on to be a doctor!

Rafael "Ace" Alvarez Rivera is his dad, him and Vicky basically knew each other since high school and had an on and off relationship. they were planning to get married at one point, but then they had Chris when Vicky was 20 and Miguel 2 years after. Their relationship kinda got rocky and just basically they ended up as friends, but they didn't want to ruin the relationship in front of the kids so Ace stayed around to be a father to his two boys. Also his career is basically professional poker, hence the nickname, and he's been playing at the Poseidon since post sr1 into 2! before that he just did odd jobs around town

Miguel Alvarez Ramos is Chris' baby brother and Chris would die for him, he loves him so much even through their relationship is rocky since Chris left home when he was 17. Miguel went through college as well, tho I haven't figured out fully what that is atm, I did wanted him to do something with flowers and plants tho. in sr2 he met his now wife Isabella De Luna, then had two daughters Delores (oldest) and Cecilia (youngest) :')) they end up moving from Stilwater to Steelport in 3, too, and that's when Miguel and Chris reunites again

none of his family "dies" bc of sr4 tho, I couldn't do that to them I love his family

Cortez and Miranda Nieves are Chris' (and Miguel's) childhood friends from the Row, at age 17 leaving home after fighting with his mom, he goes to live with them. The three of them plus Sierra were in a tiny gang called black devil's, they're main goal was with distributing/selling drugs which was hard when LC was big in the market. not to spoil the whole backstory (I might write it out sometime) but basically Cortez was leaning hard to work with LC's, which later makes the relationship rocky with him, Chris and the rest of them. Cortez ends up a rival to Chris in sr1, Miranda ended up moving to Chicago a year before 1 started

I made a few posts abt Lee but he's Chris' first boyfriend. I dont have a full background for him/them yet but he's a LC member that's not really high in the ranks, he's Cortez's best friend and is a good resource with info with products/gang info. On the side he usually does underground fighting that isn't affiliated with the gang itself but usually Lee's crew is hanging around there anyways. Lee and Chris mainly met thru Cortez, he tagged along as Cortez was getting better info from Lee. Chris peaked his interest seeing him with him and asked him to join the fighting club, wanting see how "big" he really is. Chris did accept that challenge seeing how he was teasing him, long story short he kicked LC members asses after that. Lee was impressed and would be lying if he didn't have slight feelings for him. Again, Cortez had Chris tag along to go to a party with LC members there to meet up with Lee again weeks after, during the party is where both of them started to get to know each other more and really show they're feelings. awhile after is when they started dating officially! the timeline isn't clear yet and I'm still working on it so I'm missing details atm, so it's a fast summary how they met and got together plus Chris really hated Lee when they first met, mostly not liking the teasing and just out right distrustful with the gang

There's not a lot of characters but these are the main ones I usually focus more on with Chris' life, I'm pretty sure that's all abt them I have for them but idm other asks :') TYSM again for asking, my thoughts are scrambled but I hope this is good enough/comprehensive sjshdafhfg

#ask #rollerz #sp tag #this is kinda long and i tried to get my thoughts in order i might've missed something not sure lol #thank you again!! this was a really good distraction for me 😭 i love dumping abt my ocs

Top 5 Table Service Restaurants at Disney World

***Disclaimer: These are the views and opinions of the author(s). Though many Disney World visitors may share these opinions, they may not apply to the overall general public. All opinions are valid and appreciated. Note: I have also excluded Victoria and Albert's from this list. Though it is arguably the best restaurant at Walt Disney World, being a AAA Five Diamond Recipient. However, since the dining experience cost $250-$300 per person and is not suitable for younger kids, I can't in good conscience recommend the restaurant. If you do not have younger kids and have a lot of money to blow on a celebration, then by all means, go to Victoria and Albert's. Some of the best food at Walt Disney World is there. However, it will be excluded from this list because it is not younger-family and financially friendly. Planning a trip to Walt Disney World is overwhelming to say the least. There are so many different places you could stay and so many different places you could eat. And a lot of the times, it is hard to tell if you're going to a place with good quality food unless you do some serious research. So to make your next Disney trip easier, here are Travelers' Guide to Disney top five favorite table-service restaurants at Walt Disney World.

5. Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom

If you're looking for a scenic character-dining experience, look no further--Crystal Palace is for you! Located on the edge of Main Street USA, bordering Adventureland, the Crystal Palace offers a buffet/family style arrangement of American cuisine. It ranges between $35-$59.99 per adult and it also accepts some dining plans. If you're on a dining plan, it takes up 1 for either the regular or the deluxe plan. However, it does not take the Quick-Service dining plan. Set in a beautiful building modeled after the Crystal Palace Exhibition in Hyde Park, London in 1851 (which is now destroyed), you'll get too look upon the hustle-and-bustle in front of Cinderella's Castle as you dine with some friends from the Hundred-Acre Woods! Honestly, Crystal Palace is probably my favorite character-dining experience in terms of characters; you get a lot of bang for your buck. In addition, friends from the Hundred-Acre Woods are sort of rare to be seen anywhere else in Disney World (apart from the character meet-and-greet at the Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh, though that is commonly just Tigger and Pooh). You and your kiddo will get to meet Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore. For the Crystal Palace, it is really important to make a reservation and even then there could be a little bit of a wait time--it is one of the most popular restaurants in the Magic Kingdom. And though the restaurant itself can get crowded and a little loud, it is a great character-dining experience. However, if you are going with older kids or you and your friends, this might be a character-dining experience you can skip out on. That being said, you'll really enjoy it if you do decide to do it. I grew up going to the Crystal Palace, so on my latest trip it was hard to pass on this character-dining and try out new restaurants.

4. Be Our Guest at Magic Kingdom

Be Our Guest is the newest restaurant in the Magic Kingdom, a part of the overhaul that is New Fantasyland. Ranging between $15-$34.99 per person, Be Our Guest offers American and French-style cuisine a quick service/fast casual dining experience. For breakfast and lunch, Be Our Guest accepts 1 of all dining plans (the quick service, dining plan, and deluxe dining plan). However, at dinner since it is a character-dining experience, it only accepts 2 of the dining plan and deluxe dining plan. One of the reasons why Be Our Guest is on Travelers' Guide to Disney top 5 is its impeccable theming. Walking up the restaurant, you see the castle from Beauty and the Beast up in the mountains. It is truly amazing how imagineers made the castle appear life-size and far away. And as you walk through the broken archway and a bridge, you enter through the gates of what seems to be like a hidden fortress under a mountain range. And as you walk in, there is a beautiful mosaic of Belle and Adam, so make sure to snag a picture of that! You have the options to eat in three rooms: the ballroom, the library, and the west wing. The ball room is the largest and it is gorgeously decked out at Christmas. At the back of the ballroom there are seven large grand mirrors depicting a snowy night outside--and get this! For that display imagineers used actual animation from the original film! And if you look above to the breathtaking chandeliers, you'll see a fantastic mural on the ceiling--and the cherubs are the actual faces of imagineers or their kids as a baby! On one side of the ballroom is the library, which personally I think is the least cool room in the Be Our Guest restaurant--but that does not mean its theming is less extraordinary. The center of the room there is an arched enclave on a spinning Belle and Beast and depictions of scenes throughout the movie are hanging on the walls. On the other side of the ballroom is my favorite room (and probably the hardest to find tables in) is the west wing. This room is themed to the shattered remains of the Beast's personal corridors, with torn curtains, paintings, barely-lit lights. The iconic rose is placed in the center of a bay window--and this is something you should keep an eye on. Every time a petal falls, the Beast roars and the picture of Adam briefly flashes to that of the Beast. Note: if you make a reservation online prior to your Disney vacation, you can order your meals! It's always a fun treat!

3. Chefs de France in Epcot

Chefs de France is one of the more underrated restaurants in Walt Disney World, but I think it's one of the best. In the front of the France Pavilion at Epcot, it cost $15-$34.99 per person. It takes one Disney dining plan and one deluxe dining plan. Chefs de France offers a delicious menu of French cuisine surrounded by unique French theming. I had a mouth-watering filet that I devoured in ten minutes. It was truly one of the best dishes I have ever had a Disney World. The dessert section of the menu is also incredibly good, offering an array of French dishes that will surely satisfy your sweet tooth! The restaurant itself is family-friendly and offers amazing views of the World Showcase and the rest of Epcot. Commonly, there is also street shows in front of the restaurant. It's a really entertaining way to pass the time while you're waiting for your food. There is also a beautiful fountain that you can view through the windows of the restaurant. The French theming is impeccable, giving you a perfect Parisian vibe. As I mentioned above, it is family-friendly, but I still would recommend it more for older visitors, since it is not a character dining.

2. Sanaa at Animal Kingdom Lodge

I've only recently discovered Sanaa and I really wish I knew about it sooner. Located in Kidani Village of Animal Kingdom Lodge (the Disney Vacation club section of the hotel), Sanaa offers delicious African cuisine with Indian flavors as exotic animals roam the savanna before you. Ranging between $15-$34.99 per adult, Sanaa also takes one regular dining plan and one deluxe dining plan. Though Sanaa does offer kids menu, I still would recommend this restaurant to older family and friends instead, for some of the food may not appeal to the younger audience. That being said, it is absolutely DELICIOUS. When you go to Sanaa, you have to get the Indian-style bread service. Before going to Sanaa, I had read numerous reviews all loving the restaurant and recommending the bread plate. You get five types of bread and my favorite was the Garlic Naan--it almost melts in your mouth. Then you get nine accompaniments, all ranging in different level of spiciness. My brother and I tried every single spread, which is probably one of my fondest memories of our latest Disney trip. My entire family has a relatively low spice-tolerance, so my parents found it quite hilarious when my brother and I got to the spicier accompaniments. Though the rest of my meal and the view of the wildlife was absolutely delicious, the Indian-style bread service was my favorite part. The view of the wildlife was also amazing. I definitely recommend arriving to Animal Kingdom Lodge before your reservation. For starters, it is a really pretty hotel to walk around. Secondly, the waiting area for Sanaa is an outdoor patio that is in the heart of the wildlife savanna. You can get a really great and close view of wildlife. When you go to Sanaa there's no definite chance that you'll be seated next to a window, so it is always good to get there beforehand so you can get a good look at the wildlife.

1. The Garden Grill

Numerous Disney blogs rank Garden Grill as the best character-dining experience and I one-hundred percent agree. I have been going to Garden Grill since I was a little kid and every time I go back I love it even more. It is my family's favorite restaurant and I don't see us ever not going. Garden Grill is a family style/buffet of American cuisine in Future World of Epcot. It is $35 to $59.99 per adult and also accepts one dining plan and one deluxe dining plan. Not only will you get to meet Chip and Dale, but also Mickey and Pluto in their special Garden Grill outfits. What makes Garden Grill unlike any other restaurant is that it is slowly rotating--that's right! It's spinning in a circle. However it is so slow that you barely even notice and does not give you motion sickness or effects your meal. You even go through a bit of Living with the Land, a fun educational ride about our earth's ecosystem and is definitely an attraction you should hit before or after your reservation. Speaking of reservations, you should always make one at Garden Grill; it is so popular that sometimes there is even a wait time with one. Garden Grill has some really great comfort food that really hits the spot, especially during the holidays. It is incredibly family friendly and even the young kiddos will love the food. Everyone is super friendly and you should definitely make a reservation at the Garden Grill during one of your days at Epcot!

rEEE writers inbound

hey there! i’m rhys. i am 22, live in the ct, and love ooc chatter! my ooc is pretty lax, but i promise my writing is a helluva lot more formal. i write in third person, past/present tense, and paragraph form. im not a rapid-fire writer, and won’t be able to constantly get replies in every day (i can get responses in anywhere between every couple of days to a week or two). however, i will ALWAYS put tlc into all of my posts and characters! i write anywhere between 300-900 words. it’s definitely alright if you don’t feel up to that amount at any given point, but i do appreciate keeping it somewhere in this range. im very wordy, and can spew out a novel if im excited enough lmao

my limits are pretty general; i will not do beastiality, pedophilia, vore, or scat. i can indulge in a variety of kinks, but if it’s a little much for any average person, i’m less likely to write it out (i.e extreme ddlg or adult babies, furries, extreme pet play, etc.) but i can be persuaded to lightly touch on certain kinks as long as they’re not 10000% filth lmao i cannot, and will not, do seme/uke or top/bottom dynamics. absolutely not. queer relationships shouldn’t be defined by whose taking the D. i dont want to interact with squeamish little femboys, or awful macho men with downright rapey tendencies. versatility is key, and power struggles are what i live for! i will, however, indulge in BDSM dynamics with certain plots— although, domination isn’t always about penetration, you know?

give me characters with aspirations, hopes and dreams, and crushing past experiences that flesh them out into who they are. no one is perfect, and we all have things that rear their ugly heads in the dark. problematic characters, male or female or anything in between, are everything. i love lgbtq+ characters, as i am part of the community myself, and will almost always be more inclined in writing queer characters. not to say i won’t write for strictly straight pairings, m/f, but usually i am iffy when approached with it if i am just meeting you.

i write for all genders, ethnicity, and orientations! you can find a few writings examples of mine here. i am pretty welcoming of most things. smut, of course. some kink a little out there that you want to suggest? let's do it, dude. i am super OOC friendly and i am pretty much a garbled mess when i get to know you! i’m a social person— i feel like a burden if you’re not into chatting with me, so please, if you’re not looking to be both a writing partner as well as a friend, i might not be the gal for you. i am open to crooked relationships, ones that don't function right, dark/morally corrupt characters, unconditional love, etc. my interests fluctuate! i am down, 24/7, guys! i only roleplay over email, but will ooc chat over discord or hangouts! here's a list of fandoms and pairings below that i am looking to write for atm. i do have many more, but these are just the ones off the top of my head!

Onto original plots!

——————

Office romances/BDSM/Friends with benefits-turned-lovers

okay, so, i had this type of roleplay with someone a while back. maybe more than two or three years back that i fell out of contact with and i could never really get it out of my head because it was probably one of the best character-building stories i’ve ever taken part of. :’) i don’t remember their name, but i do hope they’ll contact me again if they ever see this. while some of this may seem specific, none of it is concrete and i promise i am very easy to get along with and very accomodating! the plot i remember had three different relationships— completely different people, with different lives and different worlds, with only one common thing between them being that they work in the same building. we can do all three, or we can do a few, or even one! i dont mind.

**pairing A; M/F preferred (lol i know broke my own rule, but i adore femdoms! extra: please come with an open mind. this is not a 50 shades AU, and i do not want it to be.) this one is between a CEO and an intern in their senior year of college. The CEO is a femdom, and freshly out of divorce, takes a liking to the clumsy intern who’d spilled coffee on her more than once. The intern has never been in a relationship with an older woman, let alone one running a multi-million dollar company, but hey, isn’t that the dream for some broke twenty-something down on his luck? She introduces him to BDSM, and while he’s hesitant, the idea is as exciting as it is frightening. He accepts her offer— while it’s difficult at times, he begins to learn more about her. Her ex-spouse, her young child, and her unwillingness to develop a sincere relationship with him. She’s had subs before, and while she tells him he isn’t disposable, he begins to feel it was the truth. He grows to have feelings for her, and while she isn’t too keen on admitting it, the feeling is mutual. I’d love to explore their dynamic in and out of sex, and the conflict between the intern and her ex-spouse. I love age gaps, and think it would be awesome to see them develop over time to find common ground to establish a personal relationship and trying to even out their power imbalances. I don’t mind playing either the CEO or the intern, but I am leaning more towards the CEO. :V**

**pairing B; M/M preferred (this one is waaay more gritty and more dub-con than anything so please beware!) this one is between two higher-ups who have been butting heads for years— and occasionally, sexual tension neither have acted on. A is a snarky, openly gay man, and probably what some would consider shallow and noncommittal. B is a brooding, closeted ‘by the book’ type well into his thirties, and refuses to engage in anything sexual with men despite his obvious attraction; B has younger siblings he takes care of as well as his mother, and being the oldest son and only provider, hasn’t done a thing for himself in twenty years. A lives completely alone, complete with a bachelor pad and, the influx of flings that went nowhere past sex, and has risen to the top with his own sheer will. they have conflicting motives, and while both of them have an intense hatred for each other, they’ve never engaged in physical altercations in fear of losing their jobs. one day, A jabs a little below the belt, and finally, B starts swinging. this fight turns into something way more heavy in the company parking lot. what happens between them in the long run is something desperate, needy, and longing for real affection. it began as a mindless need for sex, angry and mean and formal, with B being especially unwilling to ‘give up’ his masculinity and ever be on the receiving end in fear of losing the control he needs to keep this up. i’d love to see them begin to see each other in a different light, and changing each other for the better. i’d also love to see A showing B that sex doesn’t have to be meaningless, and that he doesn’t need to fear letting A be in control. And B showing A that commitment isn’t as terrifying as it may be, with them gradually going from rivals, to friends with benefits, and eventually lovers. i, again, don’t mind writing for either! **

**pairing C; F/F preferred. (aaa this pairing is way more fluffy and sweet, with hurt/comfort as a stable of their dynamic.) this one is between two small-office employees in the company. A is fairly tame at work in order to support her sibling(s), of which she has adopted from her father’s custody years ago. she is fairly confident with her sexuality, and while not being the type to frequent clubs, is dragged along by a few friends and there, meets B. B is a young woman who just recently got out of a relationship with an abusive ex fiance— B has only ever been with that man, and was never confident in exploring her sexuality due to a religious upbringing and parents who were dead set on traditional values. she’s never strayed from her ex, and while he wasn’t faithful or remotely good to her in return, she was heartbroken with their split. months after, he returns to the city and B’s close friends decide to take her out on a girls’ night to make her feel better— B coincidently sees her ex, and feeling childish and unattractive, heads off to the bar to get a drink. she’s nowhere near a drinker, and just before she does drown her sorrows, is hit on by A. while initially shocked, B is flustered and finds herself immediately attracted to A. they have a one-night stand, and while B believes that A would just leave in the morning, A instead lays with her until she wakes up, and leaves her number. B is too anxious to text her. they bump into each other at the elevator that Monday. they agree to be just friends, until B knows what she wants. A is willing to wait. B might have a crush, and A is intent on building B up to love herself and her body. i would overall prefer to write for A, but if you’re dead set, no prob!**

Serial killer/1960’s/Small town sheriff

no preferred pairing! would love, love, love to see something between a serial killer and a small town sheriff in the mid-to-late sixties. we could make up a new little town, or find one to our liking! A is the sheriff who had been born and raised in this town with a good home life, loving parents, and a steady moral compass, albeit trapped in a loveless marriage. they know everyone, and every nook and cranny of the place like the back of their hand. this is the type of place where people don’t have to lock their doors at night, or constantly watch their kids when they’re out in the yard playing. that is, until people start going missing and horrifyingly mutilated bodies began to pop up around town. B is a well-liked baker in town; known to be genuinely friendly and kind, B has a very corrupt past. both of their parents were heinously abusive, and as a child, B developed sociopathic tendencies. B was inherently spiteful of the town and the people in it, for leaving them to rot in hell for eighteen years, and for never reaching out. B formed a god complex, his intentions to ‘purify the corrupt’. they keep tabs on almost everyone in town, and the victims they do take are put in the soundproof basement of his home to be ‘baptized’; tortured, beaten, and mutilated beyond recognition. A and B are friendly with each other as A comes to the bakery every morning, with B’s motives completely unbeknownst. one night, A, frustrated and pissed from the dead ends of the case of the decade, decides to head to the bar and relax. B is the one face A didn’t mind seeing that night, and one thing lead to another, with A and B in a dark alley getting each other off— i definitely see this as B grooming A to be a complicit pet, and when A gets closer and closer to figuring out who the killer is, he forms a deep connection with B. B develops a possessiveness over A, along with that sense of ownership he’d established between them. B manipulates A, coerces him into a false sense of security, and eventually— A finds out, and while B initially thinks to kill A, A is corrupted by B and forms some kind of stockholm syndrome for B. it’s up to A on whether or not they turn B in, or cover the killer’s tracks. B, despite his very sick and repulsive nature, develops a true infatuation for A, as close to love as they were ever going to get, and A is desperate enough to please B that they’ll do anything to not disappoint them.

Post apocalypse/decades later/immunity

no pairing preferred! the plot I had in mind is loosely based off of a video game called "The Last of Us", which i am sure most of you have a general knowledge of! (definitely check it out if you don’t :O it’s a great game!!) the prompt i was shooting for goes something like this; in a post-apocalyptic world where a pandemic has killed off most living species, character A is a lone wolf with little to do with other people that don't benefit him, except for a select few. A is especially rough around the edges, as he's lived through some sick shit and lived to tell the tale. A had once been part of a group dedicated to finding a cure, but things went south, and a lot of people died. A had a close bond with the leader of said group, and coincidentally they were the only survivors. their past together, having been deeply demented and twisted, caused them to fall out. said leader has rebuilt a new group in the ten years since the last time they'd seen A. character B is the only known immune person alive, and has dedicated their life to being a resource to finding a cure. A and his (current) contact/partner in crime have something taken from them, and are determined to get it back. they do some searching, and are confronted with this group-- they have what they need, but are only willing to give it to them for a favor in return. no one can outrun their past forever. so, this plot isn't concrete. things can be changed, we can do whatever we want, and i am happy to comply to any revisions or suggestions! i'd really enjoy taking on A, if that's alright!

TREASURE HUNTERS/ANCIENT CURSES/LOVE-HATE DYNAMICS/MODERN

treasure hunters!!!! yES!! think Uncharted or Tomb Raider. an architect/treasure hunter is being funded an expedition to find a lost treasure and they are forced to bring along a reporter in order to receive the funds. the reporter and architect certainly dont get along in the beginning— they bicker, and clash on most fronts. the expedition wasnt meant to be dangerous. what was initially thought to be a simple job turned into something treacherous; bandits, a team of hired hitmen and their leader looking to take the treasure for themselves, and some rather supernatural elements that they both couldnt quite put a finger on. the treasure hunter and the reporter have to work together to get out of this alive, and get to the artifact before someone else does. (the “treasure” is definitely up for debate!! we can chose a real life lost treasure, or just make one up!! it can be anywhere around the world, and everything is at our disposal).

DEMON/INHERITANCE/HUNTERS/MODERN

character A has an awful time living in the city— alone, and without mom's guidance, completely lost. one day they receive a call about a deceased relative, one they'd never heard of, one that apparently left their estate and everything in it in their will to A. with nothing but the clothes on their back, A took a shot in the dark and drove out to this presumed "estate" come early summer, only to find that it's a mansion in a tiny little town with an eerie vibe and populated by the typical small town churchgoers and farm folk. living in this town was a hell of a challenge; everyone was nice, too nice, and people started to go missing. character B is an exceptionally charismatic, charming person and the only mechanic/handyman in town. A and B become friends, partially, when A needs to fix up the piping in their estate. A stumbles upon the attic one day, and for once, they start to get why this whole town reeked to the roots in weird shit-- their deceased relative was tracking something here in this town, having to do with all of the MIA townsfolk. DR has a board of possible suspects, and at the center? B. A shrugs it off as their relative having been paranoid, but the longer A stays in this town, the more apparent it becomes that DR wasnt crazy. B is, in fact, not the murderer, instead a supernatural being (open for debate! im on the fence with demons, vampires, etc.) on a mission to track down the monster, same as DR. i am so down for internal struggles, sweet gestures, and overall, two people just trying to make it work! i could also see A being hella paranoid that B is the monster, and maybe tries to throw cloves of garlic at them only to realize thats not exactly how this monster hunter business works lmao

DEPRESSED WRITER/YOUNG MUSE/between 1920’s-1960’s/sex, drugs, & the american dream

m/m preferred! A is a severely depressed middle-aged man believing his life has been wasted. his wife left him with their child at her hip, his career was in a rut, and he had nothing left to live for. opting for suicide, he goes out one evening to purchase a bottle of gin to down with a handful of prescription sleeping pills when he returned to his apartment. instead of going directly home, he’s swept in by the music in an underground club for queers. there he meets B; all encompassing, angel faced, and the only person A didn’t know how to look away from. B is a former US Navy Seal, aspiring musician, and avid indulger of the human body— A stays a little too long, owlish and red, and after the show, B approaches him with a cattish smile. they spark a friendship, and A is thrown down the rabbit hole when B introduces him to his social circle, filled to the brim with drag queens, junkies, queers, and the overall unusual— he integrates into this community, his contemplation of suicide only a distant memory, and begins to find himself extremely attracted to B. he lights a fire in A, something dangerous and unquenchable, and A finds himself drawn in by the unpredictability. A embarks with B on a journey of self exploration, passion, and inevitable love in a world that scorned the oddities of human attraction and anyone who dared to be free.

thanks for your time! if you've read through, please contact me at [email protected] on email or rhys#3615 on discord and mention kiwi somewhere in your initial message. n_n

5, 9 (NCY), 18, 21, 29 aaa sorry there's so many! These are good questions

5) If you had to choose a favourite out of all of your multi chaptered stories, which would it be and why?

blllhhhh how do I choose? DX;; uhh... It’s poooobably still The Rodent and the Robot, though I think Neither Can You is shaping up pretty well? TRatR is a longfic that wasn’t 500% self-indulgent like most of my others and I feel like I managed a nice, coherent plot and got some good character development in there with characters I’d almost never written before, so...? But NCY is turning out a lot better than I expected. It’s more on the self-indulgent side than TRatR is but this is my first time writing ALL of these characters and I think I’m doing okay, so...?

9) In Neither Can You, what’s your favourite scene that you wrote?

I don’t know if I could pick just one. I’m pretty pleased with the buildup in chapter 5 up to where Héctor is found. Also kinda like the bit a few chapters later when Pepita tries to get Héctor out of his depressed musings (and is only partially successful). But Victoria’s scene in chapter 10 was a blast to write--I had a lot of fun with that one and was laughing as I was writing some of that stuff. Also had a lot of fun with Pepita’s perspective in the chapter after that, though it was a bit of a challenge.

18) Do you have any abandoned WIP’s? What made you abandon them?

As far as fics I’ve posted go, I have ONE unfinished fic--a 15-year-old fic that’s a Kirby parody of the Pokemon anime. I remember I abandoned it upon realizing that it was an impossible task--there were too many episodes of Pokemon (even the first season), and even if I could somehow write a parody of every one of those, I couldn’t match every Pokemon to a Kirby enemy.

I also have an unfinished series--my Cutter-Dagger series (an OC-centric series of Kirby fics based on the main story campaigns in Kirby Super Star). I was several chapters into the next fic before I just stopped. I was in college at the time, and working on tons of writing and art projects for my classes. I think that was also around the time I got into Portal, so I started writing a lot of fics for that, too, and that WIP kinda fell by the wayside.

As far as fics I HAVEN’T posted, oh, yeah, there’s plenty of unfinished WIPs. I don’t like to consider them necessarily abandoned, though--there’s fics in older fandoms of mine that I may decide to revisit should I ever get really invested in that fandom again. A bit too many fics to list here, though (but if you want to ask about a specific fandom I could probably bring up some of them).

21) Tell me about another writer(s) who you admire? What is it about them that you admire?

NO I HATE THESE KINDS OF QUESTIONS D

it’s not that I don’t admire other authors--it’s just that we’re sortof in an unprofessional setting, here, and elevating one author kindof seems unfair?

29) Do you have a story that you feel doesn’t get as much love as you’d like?

Hmm... Probably The Reaper’s Bedtime Story? Sorta, anyway. I mean, I kinda went into that one knowing I was going to get very little feedback, if any, since it’s a fanfic featuring three minor characters from a 20-year-old video game that has a pretty small fandom. Still! I think I was fairly happy with that one? Ah well, it’s not a big deal. You can’t write for feedback alone! I had fun writing from Sal’s perspective.

THANK YOU SO MUCH AAAA

Rainy Days

“Oh? I guess even perfect students can be unprepared sometimes”

Sypnosis: When rain suddenly starts to pour after classes dismiss at NRC, Victoria realizes that she doesn't have an umbrella with her. Taking notice of this, Damien has two choices, to leave Victoria in the rain or share his umbrella with her

Note: This is @starry-night-rose prize for my 200 follower art + fic raffle! Thank you again for your support and patience with me while I created your prize :D

-----

It was nearing the end of the school day when dark storm clouds began to gather over the Night Raven College campus. It didn’t take long for those clouds to start pouring rain onto the beloved campus

Class was dismissed and students began to flood the hallways. Those unfortunate enough to have to walk through the exterior hallways groaned as they rushed through them, hoping to avoid getting soaked by the rain that came through the openings on the wall

Though many students were unprepared for the sudden rainfall, there were still some who were prepared. One of these students was Damien. Upon seeing the rain, he used his Unique Magic to make his umbrella appear in his hands. He used it again to get his brother’s umbrella

After finding his brother, Damien handed him his umbrella and the two went their separate ways. Usually after class, Damien would head to the library or back to his dorm, but today was different. He needed to get some things from the Mystery Shop

When Damien got to the front entrance of the school building, he ran into a rather unfortunate student, Victoria. She looked out onto the NRC campus, debating if she should just book it to the Mystery Shop or give up and head back to her dorm

“Oh? I guess even perfect students can be unprepared sometimes,” Damien spoke up from behind Victoria. He chuckled and walked to her side. “Afraid of getting your hair wet?”

“Tch, you’re one to talk. Look at you, you have an umbrella. I’m not the only one that cares about getting my hair wet,” Victoria crossed her arms and turned away from the Scarbia student

Damien opened up his umbrella and stepped into the rain. “You’re just upset that you don’t have an umbrella yourself,”

That statement made Victoria go quiet. It was true, she didn’t have an umbrella. The rain wasn’t getting better and she knew that even if she ran to the Mystery Shop, she’d risk slipping or getting sick the next day

“Hope you figure something out, or not,” Damien laughed as he began to walk away. But something made him stop in his tracks right before he was about to walk down the dirt path leading to main street

After a minute or so, Victoria saw Damien’s dark red umbrella again

“If you’re going to the Mystery Shop, I guess we can share an umbrella. It is big enough for two people. . .” Damien didn’t look Victoria in the eyes when he made his offer

Victoria walked underneath Damien's umbrella. “Thank you. . .” She muttered. The two began making their way to the shop. They didn’t say a word to each other at first, neither knew what to say

The walk proved to be more difficult than expected, especially for Victoria. Her uniform clearly wasn’t meant for cold days. She rubbed her arms in an attempt to warm herself

Damien saw her struggles to deal with the weather and he had to admit, he slightly felt bad for not being to do anything for her

“Shit, this weather is the worst!” Victoria cussed

Her sudden outburst caused Damien to let out a small laugh. “Having trouble staying warm? Maybe you should consider wearing a blazer,”

“Be quiet Damien. You’re lucky your uniform keeps you warm in weather like this,” Victoria scowled. “But you’re right. . . I’m so cold. . . I wish I knew it was going to rain before coming to class,”

“I heard it might rain again next week, so there, now you can prepare,” Damien didn’t know why he told her. He knew it would’ve been funnier to watch her struggle again to figure out how to get through the rain. There was a part deep inside him that cared for Victoria

“Thanks. . . ?” Victoria wasn’t expecting the sudden tip, but it was greatly appreciated. The two approached the light of a street lamp. The lamp gave her just enough light to see ever so soft smile across Damien’s lips. Seeing him actually smile, instead of scowl or frown made VIctoria smile herself

“What’s with the smile?” Damien raised an eyebrow. He didn’t realize he was just smiling himself a few seconds ago

“Nothing, nothing,” Victoria looked ahead and saw that they were close to the Mystery Shop. Once they were on the front steps of the shop, she went in first while Damien closed his umbrella

After shaking off the water, Damien entered the shop after Victoria. The two split up to get what they each needed

Victoria gets some snacks for some of her fellow Diasomnia classmates while Damien goes to pick up some missing ingredients Jamil needed for dinner. It was mostly spices they had run out of because of how often they’re used

When Damien went to the counter to pay, before he could take out his wallet, Victoria lightly nudged Damien to the side and placed her things on the counter. She placed enough thaumarks on the counter to pay for both of their purchases. “We’re paying together,”

Sam bagged their items and handed back Victoria’s change. The two students thanked Sam before grabbing their bags and heading out the door

The rain had begun to slow down, but Damien still took out his umbrella. He waited for Victoria to join him under it before they started walking back towards the school

The two were silent at first, Damien wanted to thank Victoria for paying, but he felt that the farther they got from the shop, the more awkward it would be to suddenly bring it up. Eventually he decided to swallow his pride and say, “Thanks for paying for my things back there. I could’ve paid for it myself, you know that,” Damien looked straight forward, not trying to see Victoria’s reaction

Victoria let out a small laugh, “I know. But, I decided it was a proper way to thank you for sharing your umbrella with me,” She snuck a glance at the boy’s face. “Plus, I know eventually you’d say something about wanting me to return the favor. Might as well get it out of the way now,”

The two didn’t speak for the rest of the walk. They didn’t have to, everything that needed to be said was said. And though Damien would never admit it, he was glad he got to spend this time with Victoria. It felt nice, having a friend and being with them

Eventually the two got to the mirror room and had to part ways. “Bye Damien, thank you again for sharing your umbrella,”

“It’s nothing, just, bring your next time alright? You don’t want your pretty hair getting wet do you?” Damien smirked as he teased his fellow peer

“Wow I didn’t know you thought my hair was pretty, well the more you know, see you tomorrow Damien~” And with that Victoria quickly walked through the mirror to Diasomnia’s dorm

Damien was left in the mirror room, a bit flustered from not catching the fact he called Victoria’s hair pretty. He quickly composed himself and went through his own dorm’s mirror, hoping that the next day his words wouldn’t be mentioned again

WHEN THE CURTAIN DROPS…

You have come a long way from gallantry and adoration, leaving no more taste on your tongue but the one of absolute, caustic defeat. It’s jealousy, what grows unbridled within you, embellishing you as ivy does to walls of stone, coiling around your limbs on the brink of strangulation. Perhaps you wonder, in the bitterness of night with a chapped chalice in hand, how could you allow yourself to take such a boisterous fall; was it your arrogance, was it your greed? Was it that unyielding, obsessive love you happen to feel for yourself? It feels like the art you were once devoted to has decided to betray you, using time as its weapon and your flaws as its target. You wait for the wind surrounding you, but its emptiness is not one to reply. No, the wind keeps all its secrets, very much like yourself, it lets them age finely as the Romanée-Conti in your cup, to be engulfed once their sweetness had turned to poison. Jealousy is an incomprehensible thing, it tends to turn words bitter and countenances gruesome, yet it shines upon you like lens flares, blurring out every blemish to replace it with an enraged sense of beauty — cruel, imposing, as frightening as it is alluring.

…YOU SHOW YOUR TRUE COLOURS

The face of you, however lovely, is nothing but frayed masks glued onto one another. That much we know, you and me, as the darkest and deepest of the secrets, the one you will not be able to hide forever. You have given your life for the ballet house, the one that now looks down on you, not with a gracious smile but a grimace drenched in contempt. Time has ticked by inexorably, etched on your skin as a clear reminder of how fickle your ruling was ought to be, leaving no room for hesitations and prompting them to seek after the newest, loveliest version of you. How ardently you hate them! With their doe eyes, ignorant to the cruelty of the world, oblivious to the harm they have caused you. And so they twirl in circles, like a flock of birds, only to break asunder at the sight of you as though you carried along the stench of death. To surpass them is a duty and to trouble them the greatest of the pleasures, to reduce them all — with their infantile smiles, their fake compliments, and their stories of how much they admired you — to the spec of a dancer you have become has got to be the only way to prove that, if the clock refuses to stop for you, you're bound to shatter it.

VICTIM OR CULPRIT?

The name of Daphne Visvardi once implied grandiosity and brazen charm, yet your impetuous and malevolent nature has landed you a single step away from the street with the less-than-worthy role of Carabosse (the Evil Fairy), bringing your ruling to an end at age thirty-two. The gelidity of your gaze, mirroring Gemma Arterton Merve Boluğur in shape and colour, rushes the dancing corps that once applauded you to grow silent with nightmarish ease.

IN RELATION TO

RODRIGO ARAGÓN: You were aware he was a man prone to make a muse of whoever he saw fit, to find a source of inspiration through the most carnal of means; even still he never showed the tiniest hint of interest towards you. You were immune to his charm, he was immune to your cruelty, as though an impermeable layer coated you both — hard as stone, cold as ice. Haughty and cowardish, Rodrigo found in your issues an excuse to have you dismissed from a production that was yours by right, using them and artistic differences to label you as damaged goods. Yet it was his impending fear, and a secret you were not supposed to know, what has driven him into making that infamous decision. KATERINA SANTOS: There is a vivid image painted in the back of your mind, impassible and untouched, like a forgotten picture frame. Her blue eyes, lively and overjoyed, bedazzling the room with a luminosity of their own. Katerina was not just a fellow dancer, she was not just another mildly promising youngling under your tutelage, she was the little sister you never had. For years you advised her, you watched her grow, blossoming under the lights of the Queen Victoria Ballet’s rehearsal rooms with a confidence unheard of. Plenty of things had tarnished you, plenty of evils had caused you pain, but none could quite pair up to the one of seeing her, of all people, replacing you as the Queen’s prime jewel.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Chances of Survival: Above average Applicant must be open to portraying verbal abuse, alcoholism Faceclaim is slightly negotiable

Starring: Tabby as Daphne Visvardi

#1 - stream of consciousness/para

Daphne’s numbness is blithe, her lips meeting as silk around the ice cold glass of vodka. She is tremulous without it. Yet elsewhere, amidst a cloud of soulless uncertainty, wintry swans cast snow from fledgling feathers upon a stage that was hers by right. Adeline guided Lindsey with hands fluttering with inspiration, pushing her to leap just a little higher, and the sight settled as heavy, sodden dust in Daphne’s heart. Princess Aurora had been stolen from her twice now, first by her own protege, and now by some dark little nobody.

At least when Katerina had taken the part, Daphne could comfort herself that, perhaps, she had only possessed those skills because of Daphne’s own tutelage.

It was a part that had always eluded her, Aurora. She had danced a gossamer Swan Princess, brought life to Giselle’s soft limbs, she had lived and died as Juliet. Downtrodden in a hushed and sussurrous haze, she scowled once more at the stage. In days gone by, she had been everything. The heralding stars were a map of her movements, and each symphony cupped her sculpted body as though it had been written for her. It was how the world was meant to be.

She had always supposed it came of being a twin. Lucille, just a few minutes older than Daphne, had always been in competition. Always pushed themselves to beat their mirror image. It could have torn them apart, had they not competed at such different things; Daphne was the prettiest, she was the best dancer, she was the most famous. But Lucille was the most studious, the most clever, she was lauded by some as a genius in her field of physics. It was how their mother had liked it, pushing each girl to her limits.

Daphne hadn’t told her mother yet, that she was to be Carabosse. She was already dizzied by her premonition, of that disapproving sniff. “Well,” she would say, eyes lingering on Daphne’s calves as though they might be the culprits of her failure, “At least it’s a named part. Oh, darling, did you hear, Lucille had her study on the movement of space-time published by the AAAS?”

She’d told Lucille, anyway, and had received warm indulgences and sympathy. They were so different, and it allowed them to be best friends. Lucille was her only friend, really. She’d thought, once, that Katerina had been a good friend, but she had usurped her, and friends didn’t do that. Katerina had been just like the rest of them, pretty and young and ready to submit her skin to their punishing art form. Daphne had hated the smugness she felt when, at rehearsals, Katerina had once in a while stumbled. Not least of all because whenever anyone else required assistance, it diverted the attention away from Daphne’s desultory grace.

So preoccupied was she with thoughts of harpy-mothers and dead proteges, she quite missed the first attempt on her attention. Adeline was attempting to summon her for a little one-on-one session, and Daphne rose with all the regality she could muster. Walking forth in somber echo, she fancied she felt the sympathetic eyes of the young dancers around her, and it made her seethe. To them, she had once been a perfect cadence. Now, too many of them pitied her. Opalescent light means little without a prism with which to prehend, and in their pitying gaze she withered. Did they know about the drinking? Did everyone? Or did they only see the breath of a crow’s foot blossoming beside her eyes, a grim memento mori that no quantity of expensive lotions could erase?

Ascending to the stage, she brushed past Lindsey. She wasn’t sure if Lindsey even noticed, really, but Daphne was electrically aware of the youthful plumpness of her skin, glowing pink with exertion. Lindsey was insulting in her youth, insolent in her grace. Only years of practiced malice kept Daphne’s expression smooth and expectant, and the spotlights onstage were a salve. There was very little that couldn’t be fixed with a little attention.

“Well,” she trilled with a voice that was both melodic and yet utterly lacking in heart, “Let’s not stand around waiting for the grass to grow!”

#2 - a life in bullet points

Daphne and her twin were both enrolled in pre-ballet classes by their mother, who insisted they try their hand at everything in order to find their strengths. Lucille hated it, but Daphne had a natural talent and soon became absorbed in the world of ballet. She attended a ballet academy from the age of 11; she’d wanted to train in Russia but it was financially impossible, so she went to London instead.

She became the best not through natural talent, but through grueling work. Her academic work suffered because of it, but she danced tirelessly and strove always towards perfection.

For most of her life, Daphne has considered herself to be perfectly in control. She never succumbed to an eating disorder, as so many ballerinas did, because she knew how many calories she burned through dance and ate enough to maintain a slim, muscular physique without suffering. She considers herself to be in control of her drinking, too, because she thinks that she could stop, if she wanted to– - it’s just that she doesn’t care to.

Having been such a workhorse her whole life, Daphne never made many friends. At first it was a matter of having no time to socialise, and then her peers began to notice that when she was present, there was a certain insincerity about her that tended to rub them up the wrong way. Her smile was wide enough, but her words were hollow. People, to her, were either talented, and therefore a threat, or untalented, and therefore not worth wasting her breath on.

Being relegated to playing Carabosse was, naturally, a blow to her. Daphne has made it her life’s mission to become a ballerina, and she worked damn hard for it, and now at only 33 she’s being passed over for younger dancers. She’s always been a jealous person, but this blow is pushing her right to the edge.

Jin Norizuki’s Birthday PriZoom 7/18/2021

Oh the things I do for Jin Norizuki

That was SUCH an experience. I had a lot of fun!!

Main takeaway is that I am now acutely aware of when to YO in a song

(Okay so this is my first time attending a prizoom (or even any kinpri screening outside of Luna’s sss rabbit sessions!) so this is all entirely new to me and I can’t really compare it to much, but I figured that it’d be good to write up a report of sorts to fill in for Luna in a way!)

The prizooms are also accessible to everyone and don’t require any Japanese info confirmation!! If you’re interested in attending please go and support kinpri!!!

(Note: I think about Jin wayyyy too much and interpret them as nonbinary, so I use they/them pronouns for Jin. It’s just automatic for me at this point and feels weird otherwise haha so I’ll be doing that in this)

Jin is my all time favorite character and love of my life who I’m extremely delusional about so when a prizoom was announced for their birthday I went INSANE because I didn’t expect Jin’s birthday to be acknowledged AT ALL given how they’re usually excluded/treated like a side character (+ kinpri’s been putting out little to no content lately anyways....haha....). I was waiting in anticipation ever since it was announced (around June 6th) and even put in a time-off request for my work the day of its announcement just so I could attend!!!! ........ You can imagine my frustration at kinpri waiting until the very last minute to put out details about Jin’s prizoom ^^;

💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙

Also!! I’m a complete ~ foreigner ~ and managed to get tickets perfectly fine with my American credit card (and putting in some very obviously Not-An-Actual-Resident-Of-Japan address info...)! So if anyone’s curious about attending a prizoom but worried about region-locking, it’s possible! Very possible! If you’re interested in it, please go! You don’t need to have a Japanese phone number/credit card/address/etc. to purchase PriZoom tickets on RakutenTicket! It’s such an experience! If you need any help buying tickets then I’d be more than happy to assist!! Please support the PriZoom screenings and help increase the demand for more kinpri content!!!!!!!!!!!! I will personally become a living prizoom advertisement

(Also if any kinpri staff find this: I’m sorry for not respecting rules this time but I just wanted to provide a detailed account of the prizoom event and encourage participation for other foreign fans! I won’t do this again!!!)

💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙

I only attended the first and third showings (consisting of the first movie and Over the Sunshine!) because I wanted to see the new/not currently archived content (the second/pride the hero showing’s bonus was just Jin’s birthday video by Joji which I already revisit little too much ahaha). I also went to the chat-only rooms because I wasn’t very confident that I wouldn’t be awkward with my nonexistent cheering experience and intent to just observe what its like (despite knowing that the cheering rooms are more fun based on what Luna said haha). That, and I was planning on using the EXTREMELY OBNOXIOUS soundboard of ABSOLUTE CHAOS for everything since I have issues with voice dysphoria and figured it’d be good to stick to the room with that normalized as the one and only cheering method so participating would be a little less annoying to others, since we’d all have the same idea ^^;

I’m more active on twitter and follow/am mutuals with pretty much anybody who likes Jin enough to post about them, so it was cool seeing almost everyone there! At least half of them tweeted about this being their first prizoom haha. Jin’s birthday was also promoted as a good introduction to prizooms since the first showing was set at a price point of 718 yen instead of the usual 1,760 yen? So, lots of first timers attending! I guess most people had the same thought process as me about the whole insecure-about-not-being-used-to-proper-cheering/using-their-mic thing? Because most of my twitter following ended up in the chat-only rooms with me! Fun!

Also interesting how most people chose the male voice option for the cheering soundboard feature since there’s actually only 2 men who love Jin like that (I’m included in that number!!) in the Jin-obsessed twitter circle. I guess it was because it sounds kinda Joji-ish? and therefore fitting for an event dedicated to Jin! What with them being meant for each other and all.... Plus being Joji is just a fun way to play off having issues about using your own voice (I... project onto Joji a lot.)

👆 👆 👆

Okay I actually typed up all of the above during the second showing (since I wasn’t occupied attending that one) and everyone had the same train of thought and was definitely being Joji. You know that one “song” in Over the Sunshine- Glorious Schwarz- consisting of Joji just going wild infodumping for 3.5 minutes? Yeah EVERYONE who selected the male voice option was spamming 「おれもー！」/ “ME TOO!!!” during that (including me!). So it was like:

“I weighed 4646 grams at birth! ☆”

“MMMMEMEEMEMMT MEE ME MEEE EMME ME ME TOO M M ME TOO”

SO OBNOXIOUS. I LOVE IT. EVERYONE SHARING THE SAME BRAINCELL. THE JOJI BRAINCELL.

💙

The highlight of the prizoom (in my opinion) was when some guy repeatedly hit よっ！/ YO! to the music in the first movie, which then led to everyone having a collective ~ Realization ~

After that happened, everybody joined in and started YO!-ing along in the other lives. Beautiful.

(Blurred recording of Dramatic Love and Showcase Night just so YO!u can see what I mean.)

(I only did those two to test screen recording after failing to archive the first Jin bonus while using the soundboard feature in the first showing, initially I didn’t intend to record anything but the bonuses and will not be doing that anymore. If you attend, don’t be like me or worse!!!! Please!! I’ll delete these if needed/after a few weeks. Also just wanted to mention that Koi no Royal Straight Flush is up there in Kinpri’s Most YO!-able songs)

I love this soundboard feature. Sounds like hell. Prizooms are truely a new form of art because of it. Amazing how cheering screenings have evolved over a pandemic. Music feels empty to me without the YO!s now. After this I ended up listening to the entire kinpri discography so I could determine the YO!ability of each song. Not sure if every prizoom is like that? But I really want to go to more showings just for the community experience! I’m morbidly curious as to how many people would try to YO! to Platonic Sword. I considered going to Rei’s because they’re showing Shiny Rose Stars, but I probably won’t though since money and sleep are things (They really should make tickets no more than 1,000 yen.... they’re zoom meetings with audio problems....THE AUDIO ISSUES ARE FUN THOUGH! YOU CAN SPAM “GANBATTE” WITH EVERYONE!!) Plus while I do like every kinpri character, none of the street boys are really my favorites and going to every showing regardless of character would be a lot. I assumed that I was only going to try attending Joji’s until they announced that they were gonna do something for Jin!! So if you want to see what it’s like PLEASE get tickets and experience it for yourself!! It’s so much more fun participating !!!! Relying on 1-2 people to post event summaries isn’t exactly consistent coverage of every prizoom either!

\ よっ！/ \ よっ！/ \ よっ！/

So much of this is a community experience that you just have to see for yourself! It’s really cool seeing people go all out for their favorites and just going wild. Notable participants include:

- Two separate people just working out the entire time (one of them doing “Prism Exercise” meaning very high effort full-body cheering and dancing? It was really impressive seeing them go all-out for such a long time!)

- Two (2!) Ai cosplayers!!! One attending the prizoom with a Jin cosplayer!!

- The lady who cosplayed Jin in their cute green pre-retirement prism star outfit WITH A HUGE JIN PUPPET IN THE SAME STYLE AS THE SHUFFLE PUPPETS IN THE STAGEPLAY!!!

- That one person who just had a Minato fish head on the entire time (?!)

- A Victoria cosplayer who showed off a really nice!! drawing of Jin they did during the participant showcase at the end of the screenings

- The person with a REALLY CUTE!!!!! homemade Jin plushie!!

- Two people who attended with 3D/vtuber style models of the Go Go Glorious! (YMT29 subunit) members: Noel Tokyo and Mikado Shibuya (who also had a model of Ai!)

- A really cute Joji vtuber model!

💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙

The bonuses were Jin’s birthday video from 2016 and a birthday message of sorts from Jin!

I actually didn’t manage to properly archive the first one as intended because things went horribly wrong so I ended up with nothing but just a terrible (said affectionately) little recording of the soundboard I linked earlier. But whatever I shouldn’t be doing that anyways. Hopefully kinpri includes that and the other prizoom bonuses in something later.... the thought of any content being stuck as lost media terrifies me. I don’t have a good enough memory or a high enough Japanese proficiency level to type it out but it wasn’t particularly analyzable or anything (telling that to myself to make me feel better about losing it). Just the usual Jin being dramatic and going on an evil monologue. Jin being evil ASMR. I lovingly burned another one of Jin’s evil laughs into my mind too so there’s that.

For the 3rd showing bonus however I did not fail though it’s arguably the less interesting bonus of the two since it’s unvoiced. I really love Jin’s voice. Big sexy. Actual dialogue is pretty similar to each other from what I’ve gathered (ending with one of Jin’s cute little アーーーッハッハッハッ！！！！！’s (the text effect for the unvoiced bonus was an appreciated detail!).

(I’m not very confident in my ability to provide a good translation so I’ll just not embarrass myself)

“ AAAaAAaHAHAAHAAa ~ ! ! ! ! ! ! ! “

💙

Yes Jin I’ll support you in the future-!!! ヾ(>▽ <、 )

I’ll never not be obsessed but it’d still be nice to have more substantial content to gush about and do that with.... Kinpri come back and release an anime continuation.... give me the Jin plot development....kinpri come back my happiness is a little too reliant on you

After the showings you get an email asking for feedback which is cool! I’ve been waiting to complain about how 法月 is written as Noriduki instead of Norizuki for the longest time but I never had a chance until now haha. Makes it so painful for me to buy Jin merch. Also begged for an anime continuation. I wonder how much they take into account feedback? I guess I’ll see when/if they start writing Jin’s name how it’s supposed to be.

ANYWAYS

IF YOU WANT TO GO TO A PRIZOOM, DO IT!

Prism shows really are best experienced with a community!!! If you like kinpri it’s a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to experience what a cheering screening is like with the Japanese fanbase from the comfort of your very own home which is most likely nowhere near Japan!! Everyone should experience prism shows!!!! I have no regrets and I’m still so hyped from the prism sparkle!!!

ANYBODY CAN ATTEND AND BUY TICKETS EVEN WITHOUT JAPANESE INFORMATION!!!

\\ GLORIOUS SCHWARZ! //

#king of prism #jin norizuki #Err try not to spread around my recordings too much #Dont want the staff thinking badly of foreigners and region locking things haha #Kinpri_pr didn't even blur out their recording of the prizooms like me and they record everything for promo purposes anyways #But I'll probably remove mine after a bit anyways #me and my very concerning crush on jin #using joji as a self insert

36 Canadian Artists Named Winners In Prestigious US-Based Unsigned Only Music Competition Garth Hudson (The Band), Taj Mahal, Aimee Mann, O.A.R., Sanctus Real, Bow Wow, Boney James, Ruthie Foster, and Robert Smith (The Cure) Among Judges September 4, 2019 - - The Unsigned Only Music Competition is pleased to announce its 2019 winners, including a total of 36 Canadian winners. This year marks the highest number of Canadian winners since the launch of the competition in 2012. Canadian entries garnered a total of 36 wins, including five First Place wins, one Second Place wins, and 30 Honorable Mentions. The winners span many genres, from Pop/Top 40 to Folk/Singer-Songwriter to Blues to R&B/Hip-Hop, and more. “Musically speaking, Canadian artists are some of the best in the world, and this is greatly reflected in the large number of Unsigned Only winners this year,” said UO founders, Candace Avery and Jim Morgan. “We are very proud to celebrate the wealth and diversity of Canada’s musical talent.“ Unsigned Only awards an overall Grand Prize, as well as a First Place, Second Place, and Honorable Mentions in each of the 18 categories. Winners were selected from almost 6,000 entries from more than 100 countries worldwide. Unsigned Only gives away a total of $150,000 in cash, merchandise, and services. Over the years Unsigned Only has become an important source for discovering new talent. Since Unsigned Only’s inception in 2012, five Grand Prize winners have been signed to record labels. Winners this year were selected by a prestigious panel of judges comprised of celebrity artists and industry excutives, including: Garth Hudson (The Band); O.A.R., Robert Smith (The Cure); Aimee Mann, Aaron Shust, Taj Mahal; Sanctus Real, Ruthie Foster, Boney James, and many more (see complete list below). The 2019 Grand Prize is awarded to South African, London-based pop artist Anna Wolf for the song “Believer.” Wolf is truly a compelling and rare artist – a hypnotic performer with passion and style, a singer with hauntingly beautiful vocals, and a songwriter with depth and vulnerability. The winning song, “Believer,” is a powerful track, inspired by Wolf’s desire to break the silence about domestic violence and serves as a personal refusal to become the victim of her circumstance. Wolf has had a celebrated career, amassing hit singles, sold-out shows, South African Music Awards nominations, and a legion of dedicated fans.
