Skip beat: a hilarious mess full of love, friendship and human connections
(please do not expect cohesion or structure)
Skip beat will always always have a very special place in my heart solely due to the fact that it is the funniest show I have ever watched. The manga is written in an absurd, exaggerated style and both the anime and the drama manage to capture its unique sense of humour excellently. Ivy's over the top acting, siwon's cool but baffled expressions, dong hae's haughty side eyes (so much eyeliner) managed to capture the characters of kyoki, ren and sho so beautifully. It will always be a great pity that we never got a season two for either. (also props to the actors who played Mr yashiro and lory in the drama, they have my heart)
Coming to the characters themselves-
Kyoko: my beautiful bold courageous child, who dreams of fairytales even when she's going through hell. Her journey is amazing and inspiring and I adore how she rejects love but gravitates to cute things. Her friendship with moko is heartwarming and so is her big sister-ship with Maria. She makes so many connections throughout the story and each connection is so precious, i love it. My fav arc for her has to be the natsu arc but i will go into each character in detail.
Rich lady- yes I'm including this in her list of roles even though she didn't really play this part. The anime rendition of this is my favourite episode to watch solely because of how beautiful she looks and how much grit she has. It is also the first of many instances we see where kyoko draws from her own life consciously to act out a role, her past with sho is so shaded by her devotion and his indifference it was amazing to see how she took something positive from that.
Promo clip angel- legitimately gasped when I saw her outfit in the anime, so fucking gorgeous and it was so funny how she couldn't stop crying when thinking of moko (ahhhh kyoko is so adorable) also in the drama when she is bickering with sho (or shang ig?) in this outfit, have a hate-love relationship with the prisoner song tho.
Mio- ah mio, has there ever been a more iconic character, the last one we see in the anime and drama mio is iconic to kyoko in-universe as well as in the real world. The masterful way she crafts the character to be a little twisted but still striving to do the right thing, how she takes ren's advice and completely flips that perception that people have of mio, and how much heart she puts into learning about mio is awe-inspiring. Kyoko looks so good during her entire time as mio and i legitimately forgot how long she plays the role for- so many things happen while they are still shooting dark moon. Mio also allows kyoko to showcase a little bit of her darker side with the spirits of grudge
Natsu- the most delightful and horrifying character natsu's arc is the epitome of a showbiz drama. Her being so determined to shed mio but completely unable to, the entire sequence where the director and his assistant (?) discuss how she carries herself so different from other people her age, HER GOING TO REN'S PLACE AND DEMANDING HE TRAINS HER LIKE A FEMALE MODEL, chef's kiss. I like that she kept mio's wickedness but amplified it in a way that was more true to life. I feel like natsu somewhat resembles sho in certain ways tho I'm not sure if that was intentional. All in all it is the first step in kyoko's journey beyond dark moon and it is executed really well .
Kuon- lowkey forgot about it but when kuu asks kyoko to act as his son, it gave me goosebumps. Knowing that kuu is kuon's father and that kyoko has actually met him the past was already exciting, but when she showed up in that American boy outfit, i was stunned. Her meeting with ren was so cool, yashiro being confused af, ren being like wtf and her panicking internally, such a chaotic arc, her relationship with teacher/father is so adorable, she really thinks of kuu as a mentor and it warms my heart, i really want to see more kuu-juliena/ren-kyoko interactions simply because of how much ren's parents adore kyoko individually, but yes kuon is very special to kyoko and it helped her get over he funk with mio and natsu
Setsu- if natsu is my favourite arc then setsu has to be my favourite character. Made up for no legitimate purpose except for the ✨romantic spice ✨ setsu is such a cool character and her dynamic with ren as cain is absolutely revolting but also so cuuttteee. I love her fashion, love her confidence, there is a bit of natsu to her but definitely more outcast-y. My girl is totally a Vivienne Westwood grunge queen and i cannot ever get the hotel-hickey scene out of my head, kyoko's acting grows leaps and bounds here as she works with ren who even falls prey to her, it is beautiful. (Love that she kicks sho just for laughs) I hope we find some way to meet setsu again since we see murasame make a reappearance, would love to see her act as setsu in front of beagle boy,
Momiji- we haven't seen a lot of momiji the character but i do adore a tragic love, the momiji arc was probably the best in displaying how much kyoko has grown and how her connections with other people have shaped her, she's more sure of herself largely because she knows she has reliable people backing her up and their loyalty is a direct result of her kindness/positive behaviour with them. Her faith in her own abilities is very encouraging to see and i find momiji surprisingly similar to mio in that she has to hide her real feelings due to circumstances out of her control, her devotion to shizumasa and her grudging respect for chidori just as she bleeds out perfectly tie up her arc and though she is tragic she is splendid. I like that they took the time to establish kyoko's current position before moving into the route arc which I feel is going to be long and tedious, morizumi was a pain and director kuresaki is so pathetic i love him

More obscure muses ( Introduction ) series.
Fandom: Skip Beat.
Muse #2- Ren Tsuruga / Kuon Hizuri
Age 20-22 ( manga and anime )
Ren Tsuruga, real name Kuon Hizuri, is an actor working for the entertainment company, LME. He is currently ranked Japan's most desirable man. Ren is a very strong-willed person. He can be childish and short-tempered when his real personality slips out. Ren is a people-pleaser and often hides his true feelings behind his "gentleman smile", which works most of the time. He is labeled by many as "The Co-star killer" for his ability to make his leading ladies fall in-love with him. He is also a model for a clothing line called R'Mandy.
Ren is very serious about his work, and will not act seriously with nor respect anyone who does not take pride in acting. Hence, he disliked Kyoko Mogami at first, because her motives for joining showbiz were "impure," as Kyoko herself puts it. Both Yukihito Yashiro and Lory Takarada noted that most of his past relationships were shallow. Lory points out that Ren has never really fallen in love before. Ren routinely skips or opts for convenient meals and is regularly chastised by Kyoko for his poor habits.
Ren works hard to maintain his "gentlemanly" image, so he does not let his temper get the best of him when Sho Fuwa knocks over an ash tray in front of him, nor ask for help when he doesn't understand lines because he is not a native Japanese speaker. It is also shown that Ren acts indifferent and calm when extremely happy. In times of extreme anger, he has been known to excuse himself from the room to collect himself.
It is later revealed that Tsuruga Ren is a mask for Kuon Hizuri. Ren is deeply disturbed when Kuon breaks free on the set of Tragic Marker. So far, Kyoko is the only one able to break him out of this state with her voice or actions. Lory is aware of this side of Ren and warns Kyoko of it without directly telling her about it. Yashiro also knows nothing of this personality, though he suspects Ren had a past that is different to his current facade.
Although Ren dislikes and even fears Kuon, his true personality is not entirely bad. He drops his Ren facade in Guam and interacts with Kyoko as his true self for a full afternoon. She instantly recognizes him as "the fairy prince" she met as a child. And the two of them reconnect, as if no time has passed. As Kuon, Kyoko is less guarded around him. Because Kyoko is so open with Kuon, Ren finds himself wishing on one occasion that he had not dyed his hair back to brown.
The public knows nothing about Ren's past and background. Only his parents and Lory Takarada know about his real background. Ren is revealed to be Corn, a 10-year old boy Kyoko Mogami met when she was six years old. Ren told Bo the Chicken ( in which Kyoko is actually inside the suit ) that he used to get fired all the time when he was starting in showbiz.
In truth, Ren's real name is Kuon Hizuri. He is the son of Kuu Hizuri and Juliena Hizuri, who are popular personas in showbiz in America. He was raised in America up to the age of 15. Kuon always lived in the shadow of his father's greatness. He tried to break into the show-biz world, only to suffer many rejections. Because of this, a darker side took over Kuon and he grew distant from his parents.
Flashbacks from his teenage years imply a violent past such as acting in gangs and getting into fights. Lory brought Kuon back to Japan when he was fifteen. It was then that he adopted the stage name "Ren Tsuruga" and went on to become the most popular male actor in Japan. Kuon has a Russian, American and Japanese mix heritage, which explains why he can speak Japanese, English and Russian fluently.

Ask me about this OC, I want to develop her a bit more and questions help me.
Her name is Lysah Errol. She's a Talon (bodyguard) to the princess, Juliena Gilding. Lysah is madly in love with the princess, though it's quite unrequited. She's ND and feels like eye contact or vulnerability is painful, so she prefers to stay inside her armor. She's hard-of-hearing in her left ear. She's only the second generation of her house (Errol)-- her father saved the king's life when they were young, which elevated him to lordship, and allowed Lysah to partake in the life-long Talon training. The design of her armor and cape are based on owls.

Rubrika mejl.box se přehoupla do druhého roku své existence a protože v minulosti jsme se většinou zabývali americkými a britskými stránkami, dnes si ukážeme několik evropských. Ale začneme v Rusku, kde vznikla tahle povedená galerie temných flashových projektů. cmart.design.ru
Poněkud veselejší ruský design najdete na osobní stránce designera Dmitrije Utkina. Portál nabízí jeho definici abstraktního designu a díky nápadům čerpajícím z časopisecké grafiky devadesátých let je Utkin občas označován za nejagresivnějšího ruského web designera. www.factory512.com
Autorem této stránky je Čech Tomáš Celizna a právě na příkladu jeho práce lze ukázat, že i ve webovém designu platí, že jednoduché je krásné. Galerie osobních fotografií je tu postavena na velmi jemném efektu, ale stačí to ne? www.broken.cz
S rakouskou vývojářskou firmou rinzen jsme se již v mejlboxu setkali, tenhle jejich novější projekt je souhrnem vizuálních remixů jejich tvorby, na kterých spolupracovali jak jejich známí, tak jejich fanoušci z internetu. www.rmxxx.com
No a poslední stránka dnešního mejboxu vám představí část tvorby uznávaného francouzského web designera Juliena Moulina, který kromě flashových animací tvoří ve spolupráci s fotografy a spisovateli i multimediální internetové básně. julien.moulin.free.fr

ten film nazwany na cześć powieści Aleksandra Dumasa, ale NIE na jej podstawie, najbardziej znany z „Trzech muszkieterów” (któremu kiwa głową postać z „Czarnego tulipana”). Temat „pieprzyć monarchię ORAZ TAKŻE pieprzyć gliniarzy” jest jednak w tym filmie równie mocny, a także ma kilka interesujących zwrotów akcji, podążając za tytułowym mścicielem, Czarnym Tulipanem. Czarny Tulipan to alter ego lokalnego szlachcica Guillaume de Saint Preux, który okrada bogatych w imieniu biednych. i zakłóca spokój arystokratów na różne niejasne sposoby, ale przede wszystkim ich okrada. jest sławny w prowincji, kochany przez lud i znienawidzony przez władze. gra w berka z Voltaire’em NGL, to urocze. podczas napadu i późniejszego spotkania z głównym błaznem / porucznikiem policji baronem La Mouche, Guillaume otrzymuje paskudną ranę w twarz, która naznacza go i uniemożliwia jego pojawienie się w społeczeństwie, aby nie został rozpoznany. więc posyła po swojego młodszego brata Juliena, który jest do niego bardzo podobny i zdarza się, że jest jego idolem. Julien jest rewolucjonistą i chętnie zgadza się publicznie występować w roli Guillaume'a, aby móc bez podejrzeń kontynuować swoją działalność w ramach Czarnego Tulipana. Julien zaczyna film jako żałosne, małe miau, miau, jest taki uroczy i tak bardzo się stara ;3; pięć minut po koncercie spada z konia i jest karmiony przez Prawdziwą Boginię, Caro. Dosłownie spędziłem połowę filmu, trzymając moje serce, które próbowało wyskoczyć mi z piersi jak postać z kreskówki. Jestem w tobie bardzo zakochany, proszę pani. Caro i jej ojciec również są rewolucjonistami, a kiedy Guillaume znudzi się tą farsą i powie Julienowi, że zawsze robił to tylko dla pieniędzy i nie obchodzą go biedni ani rewolucja, Julien wyrywa rolę Czarnego tulipana go jak pudrowaną perukę i idzie na lekcje szermierki do Caro. kiedy ma 10 lat ORAZ potrafi skopać ci tyłek ze stylem i wdziękiem 😍😍😍. oczywiście Julien zakochuje się w niej (kto by nie???) i powiem ci, że nie obchodzi mnie, że heteroseksualna para spotyka się w ciągu MINUTY, ale kocham tę dwójkę. rewolucjoniści knują bardzo podstępny spisek, mający na celu wyjebanie z monarchią, który zaczyna się od Juliena, który sfałszuje list miłosny od markizy do księcia Williama, a następnie „broni jej honoru” (książę jest brzydki, jeśli nie przegrywa), aby zamordować księcia. powiedziałem, że zabójstwo przeradza się w shenanigany (to komedia, w której pięknie odtwarzają rzeczywistą fabułę i humor) nie będę zdradzał całej reszty filmu, ale chciałem podzielić się kilkoma moimi osobistymi wydarzeniami: zarówno Caro, jak i jej tata rozegraj naprawdę niezłą szermierkę (poważnie, uwielbiam rolę Caro w tym filmie. W jej scenie wstępnej jest krótki fragment, w którym jej ojciec wspomina, że nazywa ją męskim imieniem, bo chciał chłopca, ale potem nigdy nie zostaje to uznane za kwestia tego, że ona jest kobietą. W sumie jest równa reszcie bohaterów, co naprawdę mnie zaskoczyło w przypadku filmu nakręconego w latach 60. jeśli już, to oni seksualizują Guillaume'a o wiele bardziej niż którąkolwiek kobietę w tym filmie. On biega ze swoimi sprząta 90% scen, w których występuje. ^^^ ( @Netease w pełni rozumiem decyzję o pożyczeniu głównego stroju Black Tulip, ale następnym razem rozważ tę alternatywę). Więc tak, jeśli lubisz mężczyzn z nagimi piersiami we własnej krwi ten film RÓWNIEŻ jest dla Was!!! tak jak mówiłem w poprzednim poście, jeśli podobała Ci się „Narzeczona księżniczki”, ten film jest w sam raz dla Ciebie, jeśli chodzi o nastrój i estetykę. Zdecydowanie potrafię powiedzieć, skąd twórcy filmu, a może nawet autor, czerpali inspirację z tego filmu. Polecam 10/10 i na pewno jeszcze raz obejrzę.
an informal review of "La Tulipe Noire" (1964)
this film named after but NOT based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas, best known for "The Three Musketeers" (to which a character in "The Black Tulip" gives a nod). the theme of "fuck the monarchy AND ALSO fuck cops" is just as strong in this movie, however, and it likewise takes a couple of interesting twists while following the titular vigilante, The Black Tulip.
^^^ ET SON CHEVAL, VOLTAIRE 👏👏👏
The Black Tulip is the alter ego of local nobleman Guillaume de Saint Preux who robs from the rich in the name of the poor. and disrupts aristocrats in various vague ways but mostly robs them. he's famous in the province, beloved by the people and hated by the authorities.
^^^ he plays tag with Voltaire ngl that's cute
during a robbery and subsequent encounter with Head Buffoon/Police Lieutenant Baron La Mouche, Guillaume receives a nasty wound to the face, marking him and thus preventing his appearance in society lest he be recognized. so he sends for his younger brother, Julien, who strongly resembles him and also happens to idolize him. Julien is a revolutionary and gladly agrees to double as Guillaume in public so he can continue his Black Tulip activities without suspicion.
Julien starts out the film as a pathetic little meow meow he's so cute and he's trying so hard ;3; five minutes into the gig, he falls off his horse and is nursed by Actual Goddess, Caro
i literally spent half the movie physically holding my heart as it tried to beat out of my chest like a cartoon character im very in love with you, ma'am.
Caro and her father are also revolutionaries, and when Guillaume gets tired of the charade and tells Julien that he's always just been in it for the money and doesn't give a shit about the poor or the revolution, Julien snatches The Black Tulip role from him like a powdered wig and goes to get fencing lessons from Caro
when she's a 10 AND she can kick your ass with style and grace 😍😍😍
obviously Julien falls in love with her (who wouldn't???) and lemme tell u i haven't cared about a straight couple getting together in a MINUTE but i love these two
the revolutionaries hatch a super sneaky plot to fuck with the monarchy that starts with Julien faking a love note to Prince William from the Marquise and then going to "defend her honor" (the Prince is ugly af she wasn't losing out) in order to assassinate the Prince. said assassination devolves into shenanigans (this is a comedy and they play the Actual Plot and humor together beautifully) i won't spoil the entire rest of the film but i wanted to share some of my personal highlights:
^^^ Caro's dad impersonates the Prince
^^^ Vintage Film Fight Slapstick hell yes
^^^ both Caro and her dad get to do some genuinely badass swordplay (seriously, i love the role Caro has in this film. there's a brief bit in her intro scene where her father mentions he calls her by a masculine name because he wanted a boy, but afterward it is never made an issue of that she's a woman. she's overall equal to the rest of the heroes which really surprised me for a film made in the 60s. if anything they sexualize Guillaume so much more than any of the women in this film. he's running around with his tiddies out for 90% of the scenes he's in.
^^^ ( @ Netease i fully understand the decision to have borrowed the main Black Tulip outfit but next time consider this alternative)
so yeah if you're into bare-chested men covered in their own blood this film ALSO is for u!!!
like i said in a previous post, if you enjoyed The Princess Bride this film is right up your alley in terms of mood and aesthetics. i can definitely tell where the filmmakers and possibly even the author drew inspiration from this movie. 10/10 would recommend and will certainly rewatch again.

🖊!
Hello!
I will gush about Talon Lysah Errol because she's been the one I've been thinking the most about.
Lysah belongs to an order of royal bodyguards called Talons. Overall the world I've written her into holds great reverence to birds. Her House (Errol) is represented as the owl, and so her armor and cloaks and clothes are all designed to be reminiscent of that. (Below are some of the design sheets I've worked on)
The Errols are a new House in the kingdom. They were originally a nameless bloodline of hunters and poachers. They are not used to the finery of silk or not having to worry about having enough to eat. Her father gained titles and lands by saving the king's life before she was born, and she was fortunate enough to find honor in the Talons.
Talons are trained from a young age in the arts of combat, literacy, and etiquette, with the intention of them being life-long companions and bodyguards to the royal family. According to tradition, male members of the family get male bodyguards and female members get female bodyguards. Lysah was assigned the princess Juliena Gilding.
Lysah is absolutely in love with the princess. She grew up alongside her with the mission of protecting her and keeping her company, and unfortunately fell for her. This is not reciprocated, but Juliena does play along with her for a while. This results in a long, drawn-out string of heartbreaks before Lysah has enough and ends it (self-respect queen). The end-game relationship for her is with the court wizard, a sorceress named Ashoven the Magpie. Still building that together. But here's a doodle of Ashoven below.
Lysah is pathetic and a girlfail. She weeps into her pillows. She yearns for that which can never be. Despite her stoic and hard armored exterior, she is very gentle and soft-hearted. She is honorable and chaste and kind, the exact picture of everything a knight should be.
I've hit her with the autism potion and she can't stand to be looked at. As a child, her father noticed her avoidance and distress when being seen, and so he commissioned a veil to cover her head until she got her first helm. She does everything she can to stay in her helmet around others so that they can't look at her, and she doesn't need to make eye contact. Since nobody sees her, and it's more practical, she keeps her hair short (and in the culture of this kingdom, long hair is considered a sign of wealth, beauty, and status... her opting for the shorter hair to make life easier under the helmet would be a huge social faux-pas as a royal bodyguard). When she eventually opts to remove her helmet in front of someone, it is a big fucking deal, a huge sign of trust and vulnerability.
I was inspired to design her hair and eye the way I have after hearing about Waardenburg Syndrome -- often marked by a white forelock, depigmentation, and often loss of hearing in one or both ears. She is partially deaf in her left ear, and indeed has depigmentation in a patch on the left side of her head.
Lysah Errol is my pathetic baby girl and I love her. She's a disaster lesbian. She is pining incarnate. She is timid. She could split a man in half with her sword. She thinks silk feels like sandpaper and wool feels like clouds. Her favorite food is apple pie.
