Day 12: Niche Interest

(This one is probably my least favorite out of all the ones I've done because everything that I would've pegged as a niche interested isn't all that niche, like video games or TTRPGS. So I thought it'd be funny if the niche interest was something sporty a jock would do. So combine that with a niche animal and you get this.) Name: Valentin Species: Chamois Personality: Not the brightest, dedicated to his craft, very humble, appreciates everything, likes to stop and smell the roses, himbo Summary: A complete and total dude, to an almost comical degree. He lives and breathes sports and physical activity, working as a trainer who is always encouraging others to push forward. In his downtime however, he likes to climb any and all mountains he can get his hooves on. Any cliff or crag he sees as just another hurdle to conquer. He makes a living off of climbing high mountains for authors and news stories, although he doesn't really need the money. Technically, he has been set for life ever since his dad left him with his fortune in the will. But Valentin has never let money tie him down to a boring life. He lives for adventure and thrill, to the point that he almost seems to nerd out whenever talking about the next great climb. He’s even planning on writing a book about his escapades, but for now all he wants to do is travel the world and climb as many places as he can.

Diabolik Idols

Mun!Sora: This is exactly what it sounds like, except like hardly any of these are actual idols by definition but I don’t give a fuck.

♥ Shuu Sakamaki

Shuu has been raised for the theater, ever since he was old enough to pick up an instrument and almost every waking moment of his life. His mother ensured it. He’s arguably the most famous violinist this side of the world, with a talent for piano and chello, as well; but, his secret is that he has no care for any of it - the fame, the glamour, the money. He didn’t choose this life. It was forced upon him. His passion for music may be strong, but he could care less of the opinions of the masses.

IF YOU PICK HIM: Shuu definitely does not think you’re worth his time. In fact, he thinks you’re a talentless loser; however, just like everything else, your apprenticeship is forced upon him. He doesn’t want to admit it, but, with time, your presence rekindles the passion he possesses for music. You, unlike the others, feel the emotions he puts into his music. Of course, he doesn’t intend to admit this to you. Maybe, you’ll uncover the dark secrets of his melancholy.

♥ Reiji Sakamaki

All Reiji ever wanted was to play music for a crowd, and to hear their cheers of joy and thundering applause. But, his mother never allowed him a chance to shine. Rather, he was forced to be Shuu’s manager, to guide him along, ensure he made it to performances on time, and that all his shows were completely booked. He’s good at it, good enough to make everyone believe he wants nothing more. After more than a decade of keeping his passion a secret, he’s become sorrowfully accustomed to living in the shadows of his brother.

IF YOU PICK HIM: When you pick Reiji, you expect a very simple apprenticeship; he’s going to teach you how to be a manager. He’s a very diligent teacher, albeit a rude one. He teaches you the basics, of course; but, he also teaches you things you never considered - knowledge that will guarantee your success. Then, one night, you accidentally stumble upon him playing a hand crafted chello. His performance is breathtaking, unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Maybe, you, and only you, can help him step into the spotlight for the first time.

♥ Ayato Sakamaki

If you asked Ayato Sakamaki why he decided to give up basketball to pursue an idol career... Well, frankly, he just felt like it. He’s got the looks, the voice, and the dedication... not to mention quite the god complex. Girls can’t help but throw themselves at his feet; yet, none of it is good enough for him. He has money, fame, and all he could ever want, right at his fingertips. There’s something missing, but he has no idea what it is.

IF YOU PICK HIM: Ayato is certain that what he’s missing is an award, something to bring him to the next level; so, why not the King of Idol’s award? Of course, that means he needs a queen. Well, you’ll just have to do, even though you’re a flat chested moron. Every waking moment is spent preparing for the contest. The two of you need to be in flawless harmony, even if he finds your singing quite detestable... or, so he claims. As the days go on and the competition grows closer, you can’t help but wonder if his insistence is still only for the contest.

♥ Kanato Sakamaki

The world doesn’t know Kanato Sakamaki. They know Kana, leader of the lolita fashion world, gothic pop icon... and a girl. Kanato is the spitting image of his mother, except for the fact that he’s a boy. His mother was a legendary fashion icon for the majority of her life, but never had a daughter to follow in her footsteps. Kanato, however, eager to please her, was willing to live a double life, only allowed to be himself when the curtains closed.

IF YOU PICK HIM: When you pick Kana, you’re definitely not expecting her secret... until you accidentally expose it to the world. Kanato absolutely loaths you, and even contemplates hiring a hitman. Unfortunately, his mother disapproves of this idea. Your temporary partnership was supposed to sky rocket his fame, not completely annihilate it... that is, until Kanato realizes that your mistake has freed him from the constricting shackles of a fake existance. Together, you help him realize he can still be Kana... but he can also be himself.

♥ Laito Sakamaki

A well known pianist, who specializes in slow, romantic songs, and also sings whilst he plays, Laito’s music is a favorite in five star restaurants and elegant clubs. His performances are known to be breathtaking, accompanied with fresh roses and dancers. As he might say, “I may not be an actor; but, I am one for... dramatics.” His infamous reputation is that he never goes home alone: a playboy, by day and by night, who’s captured many’a’hearts. Even those who don’t know his name know his work or have heard his voice.

IF YOU PICK HIM: Laito doesn’t take apprentices. He doesn’t have time to teach someone the ways of the piano. But, as a fellow pianist and singer, Laito sees you more as competition, or a means to an end. That alone is the reason he agrees to do some duets with you. But, he finds himself unable to refuse you time and time again. There’s a loneliness to him, ever present in his eyes, that you simply can’t look past. Beyond the glamour, his frequent attempts to woo you, and playful flirting, you see something more... so much more.

♥ Subaru Sakamaki

If you called him an idol, he would scoff at you in disgust. That annoying blonde dude in the pink is an idol. Subaru plays guitar and sings rock and metal, and is the founder and core of White Rose. He doesn’t dance or throw flowers to the crowd. All of his songs are of his own making, originals birthed from his experiences, his suffering, his passions. They’re hardcore, angsty, and occasionally emotional and heartfelt. Yet, Subaru is cold, distant, and definitely not the kind to associate with his fans, or other musicians. He has the reputation for being an unobtainable bad boy.

IF YOU PICK HIM: He definitely does not want to do a duet with you; his manager can kiss his ass. But, if he doesn’t, he’ll lose his record deal. Fuck. Subaru agrees... quite unwillingly, and somehow manages to drag himself to practice. He doesn’t care for the way you sing, or so he says. Your guitar skills are mediocre at best, or so he says. You obviously don’t understand the meaning behind his lyrics... Or, maybe you do, and he just hasn’t noticed yet.

♥ Ruki Mukami

There is no jazz club this side of the world that doesn’t play Ruki’s music on a regular basis. He’s almost a legend, able to capture smooth blues and even the rolling, almost rock’n’roll aspects of jazz. He’s also a favorite in casinos. However, Ruki rarely performs live. He’s a busy man with a reputation to uphold. But, spending little time in the spotlight has greatly diminished his fame. He’s ready to make a comeback... a proper one.

IF YOU PICK HIM: You’re a means to an end, something Ruki makes very clear when he agrees to partner up with you. You’re a very talented jazz singer, though you’re nowhere near Ruki’s level. He likes that, actually; it means you won’t outshine him. But, somewhere along then way, Ruki finds himself not caring when you do outshine him. He flinches away when you accidentally touch him, and loath you calling him anything other than Mr. Mukami. But, you can’t help but wonder what he’s hiding behind those mahogany eyes.

♥ Kou Mukami

He’s been famous his entire life, beginning as a child actor in plays and dabbling in small television roles. Now, he’s an idol, in every sense of the word: music, dancing, fashion, you name it. He’s also self-proclaimed best friend to the lead singer and guitarist of White Rose, though the silver-haired boy denies it. Kou is well adjusted to this life: fame, fortune, money, and literally crawling with women. However, deep down, it doesn’t matter to him, at all. It’s a means to an end, and something to keep himself entertained.

IF YOU PICK HIM: To the outside world, Kou is flirtatious and sweet, generous, even. When you choose him, you’re partnered up for a modeling campaign that’ll involve ads, live dance routines, and even a fabricated romance. “Love sells, kitten,” as he put it. Kou is demanding, with high expectations. He expects you to always look your best, especially if you want to be famous by the end of it. But, at some point, the attention he gives you, the fake dates, and the extravagant romantic gestures, doesn’t seem to be just for the camera anymore.

♥ Yuma Mukami

Since when does one of the world’s best mixed martial arts champions become a musician on the side? Well, it all started when he agreed to sing at one of Ruki’s jazz clubs. The rest is history. Yuma doesn’t consider himself famous; but, he’s a favorite at local clubs and elite bars. He doesn’t really care for it, though. It’s simply something more carefree to do between championships and training. Besides, it’s an easy way to meet ladies who don’t expect him to stick around.

IF YOU PICK HIM: You expected to be Ruki’s associate; yet, somehow, you ended up as Yuma’s... slave. Well, that’s an exaggeration, honestly. But, you expected to get a chance to perform, to play, to sing, not be stuck scheduling and assisting this guy. You stick around, however, hoping the opportunity will come around. Yuma sees your longing for the stage, but expects you to prove your worth it before he’ll give it to you.

♥ Azusa Mukami

Azusa started small, playing his ukulele and ocarina at dive bars and the corners of popular tourist attractions. He got the opportunity to play on the radio and was picked up by a talent agency. One year later, Azusa is making record deals and modeling for boho clothing lines. He’s known for being humble, always wearing T-shirts that show off scars from the days when he was homeless, a past that he keeps well hidden, from everyone, including his agent.

IF YOU PICK HIM: It was actually Azusa’s vocal coach that put him up to this. A duet that would finally get him on the top charts and introduce you into the spotlight... if only it were that simple. He’s never written a duet before, and your presence only seems to make it worse. You’re just likely everybody else - you couldn’t possibly understand his music... It’s not just about the duet anymore, but proving to Azusa that you’re not like everyone else.

The Facets of A Gemini

The Facets of A Gemini

Written by, Megan Diaz

   It’s mid to late November, when I had the opportunity to meet this individual I’d consider to be quite an influence for his age. Slick in his rhymes and word play, presented with such a graceful zest within his music. The defintion of “chic” is simply, elegant, and South Milwaukee rapper, SHēk is gracefully, unapologetically a die hard for his craft. Inspired by the late Puerto Rican rap icon, Big Pun, SHēk whom also shares Puerto Rican and Mexican descent has been writing, and rapping for nearly a decade. Just shy of turning twenty this year in June, for his age, and our generation, he speaks his mind and thoughts with such poise.

   Leonel Alvarez stands exactly six feet, his nearly ink black hair slicked back with a nice low skin fade taper, and he dresses in his own comfort. My first time sharing a conversation with him blew me away. For starters, I underestimated him. If he’s reading this, I apologize. I knew a lot of people who rapped with their content on Soundcloud, but as such a lover of hip hop, and respect for words in general, no one seemed to hook me on their sound. Leonel is different, not in the sense of what he produces, but in all he does. SHēk is on his own level, and his creative process is fascinating to witness in person. He’s had restless nights as he stays up late hours perfecting his music. A flaw some would call it, but the passion he has for rap is something that makes you want to work as hard as the dude hearing him go off. Anticipating his breakthrough, this is someone who I believe has the gift to achieve anything he’s dedicated to. Over the months I’ve gotten to know him, he’s inspired me heavily. Halfway through April I decided to pick his mind with just five questions, once again, his responses only made me more excited for him as an artist, and person.

What age did you realize rapping was something you wanted to pursue?

I've been writing since I was about 10/11. It was just a bunch of corny stuff at first, I wasn't great at it but it was something I really liked to do. It was a creative outlet, I was always more of a quiet kid. That was my way of expressing myself. When I was 16, I wrote more heavily. My friends would play beats in the car when we'd cruise or be posted up somewhere. They always encouraged me and hyped me up, I never thought I was really that good but their influence motivated me to keep getting better. So I started heavily writing music and really fell in love with it. That's when I started recording on my laptop, and it all went up from there.

Was there ever a moment you thought realistically that being a rapper is just a dream?

Of course, sometimes I still do. Everyone has their doubts. Especially with the music you see out now. It's like 50/50. You see the artists out now. They have no real lyrical content, no substance, if anything, the producers should get most of the credit for making the beats the audiences are truly crazy about because the lyrics aren't really there. As for the other side, it's like well if Lil whatever can do it then I can too because he ain't really saying nothing. But it's all about perspective and perseverance. If you really want something you won't give up.

Passion, grind, and hustle, all go together, how does that affect the way you approach your craft?

That's a huge part of my game plan. If I can't come forward when I'm writing with a fully committed approach it's like I'm cheating myself. I know the potential is there. Its up to me to be the one that lets it out, the one that shows out. Not only to show myself of what I'm capable of, I already know what I can do, it's more for the people checking out my music. Your music should be somewhat revealing and give the audience a sense of who you are as a person. That's when it's most relatable.

What do you think makes you creative, and independent as an artist with your mindset?

What separates me from other artists in terms of mindset is my work ethic and room for improvement. I don't like to settle, at all. If I finish writing a song I'll most likely write another one or two. It's like once I'm warmed up I don't want to take a break. Why should I? My thoughts just keep flowing like crazy. I have too much to say. And as for room for improvement, i can get complimented but I don't let it get to my head. I hold myself to a very high standard. I don't let people’s support get to my head. I am my biggest critic and always know there is room for improvement. I'll never stop getting better, I just wanna one up myself every single day. Too many people settle. They see something works for them and keep it at that. Times change, things change, trends change. I don't keep up with trends. I make the music I wanna make, I could care less about the trends. Those who truly appreciate rap, and music in general as an art form, those are the ones who can truly appreciate my music.

What do you want your audience to take from your words?

I want my audience to understand that there's still real rappers/lyricists out there. We still exist. Trends die. It's only a matter of time before we come up and take over again. That trap sh*t is cool but it's not real you know. I want my audience to hear my shit and be like wow, yeah, I feel that sh*t. Damn. I f*** with this. But most importantly I write what I feel, my music represents me. And I'm sure some of the sh*t I say can be easily translated and relatable to a broad audience.

     Self made, SHēk created his own way to tell stories, the beat doesn’t determine his hits. The need for verification isn’t something that withold’s him when he’s developing a song. As an artist with an open mind he feeds into the world around him, and pulls it back into poetic lyrics. Above, SHēk states there is a lack of true confrontation and meaning within rap today. Something I have always found admirable is his desire to always give the words he speak purpose. SHēk knows his capability, and like any artist he knows the struggle of doubt. Quitting cannot defeat him, he’s on the run with his work. Strength and courage remain by his side because doubt cannot phase him. His journey continues to flourish, and he follows his own flow.      

     Always filled with motivation, he not only pushes himself, but encourages others and his audience to do so as well. Truly a humble individual who gives off such refreshing energy, and good vibes. His career in music hasn’t reached a peak, which makes it exciting to see him in the moments now. This nineteen year old has the potential to go anywhere with the way he diligently works, through night and day. He gets put in this mode, and as someone who is so involved in their art to see another artist lost in their passion is one of the rawests moments you can capture of somebody. The insight he shares is just part of what makes SHēk an artist to listen to. It’s the content in his lyricism, he’s able to go deep in a regular conversation, but when he spits it, freestyles, shit he just threw down on paper quick, it brings me back to why I love rap and hip hop so much. He knows his priorities, he knows his hustle and how to run it all. Gemini traits run in his blood, there’s never been an individual I’ve met in music who’s got the dedication he does.

Shop Disney Frozen Design & Wall Stickers

Angelo today introduced its 2015 Fairytale Weddings bridal variety, which includes clothes inspired by seven Disney queen characters, including an extremely-predicted bridal dress inspired by Elsa from the extremely popular animated Frozen that was audio. It's all the components that created Frozen popular — humorous lyrics, desirable heroes, substance animation — and is a one-time mustsee for anyone who prefers the franchise. Also on the Frozen Summer Fun agenda is the Frozen Fireworks Magnificent, presently placed daily at 9:30 p.m. DHS generally does an excellent work when they wear a crafted fireworks present, but after having a blazing day I came across what my head does in summer (sign: it's really a lot like snowfall) and had to bow out prior to the large blowoff. I definitely ran out of possibilities after I found out that you just men still had seats for that Elton John present, even when the location demonstrated they were sold out with where-to take my girlfriend on our wedding! Because of Josh, I came across seats for wherever I desired to sit and he also tossed for me personally in a nice discount! They even recommended what occasion I will reach the location and where I should remain and made it not that hard for me to find the right seats! A cutscene from an earlier draft of the video confirmed the sisters together in a dressing-room where Anna attempts on the limited laced corset (as vogue expectations of the particular time-period formed), perhaps lampshading the actual features equally Elsa and Anna exhibit. When Hans comes upon Elsa in the snow palace, reasonably there's no means he may bolt over the area intime to deflect the beardless Weselton guardis (dude pinned towards the wall) opportunity when the guard increases his crossbow to aim at Elsa.

Neither The Walt Disney Organization or the filmmakers produce any illustration of the reliability of any such views and viewpoints. Elsa employs her arms to throw her snow magic's majority, hence her parents create her use gloves to hide it. While Hans keeps her captive he makes certain in order to neutralize her that her arms are fully encased in heavy metal gauntlets. Many amusingly, it is Disney ostensibly spoofing Disney just as effectively as The picture is full of important spoken wordplay, delicious picture gags, and an irreverence that felt astonishing during the time and still feels special to its time (it had been the very first Disney toon to shortage songs since The Rescuers Down Under) and the Disney catalogue like a whole. Meet with with the Robinsons remains one of many great modern Disney cartoons both since it was so humble and since it is fantastic. Instead it had been a bad video that spent a lot of time-on the floating vessel and didn't devote the full time on treasure world.
