Kazuko’s Fancuries Nomination Spotlight

I know this is a bit late, but I wanted to say thank you for nominated me in this years Fancuries! I know I took a bit of a break this year, but I still appreciate it <3

Ongoing Fanseries of the Year - Tidal Song Precure

TSP is my pride and joy. It's a project I've been working on since I started high school, and carries a special place in my heart. I love everything about it - to the oceanic motifs to the messages about mental health and self care. I ort of consider it a love letter to myself in a way. I've done a lot with th project, from art projects to songs... I know this is quite disjointed, I just love the series a lot and I'm glad I've been able to touch people's hearts with this passion project of mine.

Most Helpful Mascot- Azure (from TSP)

Azure is a meri (a sea sprite that bonds with mermaids) who takes the form of a baby sea turtle. Nine-year-old Azure considers herself to be quite mature and takes her job very seriously. As Odessa’s bonded meri, it’s her responsibility take care of her (and by extension, the other cures as well). She knows a lot about the ocean and the lore around it. Though she can be blunt at times, she cares deeply for the cures and yearns to do her best for them. In chapter nine, she displays some magical prowess of her own which she shows through a technique all meris can perform, called The Lull.

In summary, Azure cares deeply about Odessa and the other cures, and although she is young and still learning, she gives her all in whatever she does.

Excellence In Writing

I've been writing for 12 years now, and I love it :) It's a great way to express yourself and convey things in interesting and meaningful ways.I recently wrote a new version of Tidal Song and showed it to my writing teacher, and here's what he had to say:

I love how writers can create new worlds from words and inspire people just with phrases. Overall, it's just a really fun hobby and I'm touched that people enjoy my work :) I also wanted to share a snippet of Tidal Song content that I'm working on...

Odessa picks up the bracelet like it’s made of glass and she’s afraid it’ll shatter into dust, but slides it on anyway. After admiring it for a moment, she looks at me and gives me the brightest smile I’ve ever seen. She beams like she’s made of sunshine and all that’s good and I feel my heart thudding in my chest.

Excellence in Dollmakers

As I do not consider myself an artist, I'm thankful for dollmakers that allow me to create a visual representation of my characters. I used dollmakers for the Tidal Song girls, as well as all my precure OC's, but I wanted to show a few pieces that I've worked on in the past...

But that's all I have to share for today! Thank you again for nominating me <3
