Manami was always a woman who balanced fun and work, but she also kept up a specific public image known to millions of fans. However, there was something different about her newest role that might possibly change that, something she's never tackled before. On the other side was Emi - a musician who had never, truly acted before, but she had a history of taking leaps of faith, and this project was no exception.

A veteran and a rookie, both venturing into new territory...

[Set in a parallel universe, this is a yuriful retelling of how the Miracle Friendship of Manami and Emi blossomed over the course of the Tsukutabe drama.]

i said literally a month ago that i missed working in customer service and i've been hanging out with library folks recently and was like siiigh i kind of miss library work. happen to glance at the university's job board. boom reference librarian position open.

i do love canon amy & rory but god, does some part of me wish they really had gone with the idea of the doctor picking up a child as a companion (and then later, that child’s best friend with a huge crush on her.) with the rest of the season really not changing at all, except now it’s amelia pond with an angel in her head killing her and lost alone in the woods. it’s little rory who dies and is forgotten and becomes a toy soldier. if this is going to be a fairy tale, then let it be one. children have never been safe in fairy tales.

i feel like some artists who like working with text + drawing don't realize that writing letters is also drawing.

words are made up of marks and shapes; text is as much a part of the image as the drawing, even if we classify it differently. you Can write your text in the same style you might use to write a grocery list, but i think it's a missed opportunity...

Just like you can practice to improve your drawing skill and cultivate an art style through referencing various things, you can practice to improve your handwriting-for-art and eventually develop a coherent writing style. the best part is that artistically treated type doesn't need to be "beautiful" or legible, just expressive and tuned to your general artistic goals.

in this way, text is a powerful tool for expressing your creative vision!

I just love when media is created as a love letter to a person, art or something else entirely. Media created by passion. Need more of it

Walks into your inbox. Hiiiiii dearest Starbrights it's time for more Pokemon assignments because we've been brainstorming ideas again :]!!

First off is Blender, and for it we've decided on Kecleon!

(↑ It's usually green, but I'll get to why this one's purple in a minute)

Kecleon as you can see resembles a chameleon! They're known for turning invisible and kinda just. Blocking people's way XHZNZNCJC in the games you can get around em by using the Devon Scope, an item that specifically?? turns Kecleon visible. Like that's its only use. There be some specific ass machines in the world i guess JDSJZJDJDJD

In the Mystery Dungeon series, there are two Kecleon that run the town shops! They're known as the Kecleon brothers; one is the usual green, while the other is uniquely purple! NO FUCKING CLUE WHY THAT IS, there's NO explanation for it, purple isn't even these guys' shiny colour so JDKSKDFNFJD????

Kecleon is usually a normal type, but it can change types temporarily in battle! It's not the strongest Pokemon (... Unless you count mystery dungeon. that's a whole separate infodump though), but it's very unique!!

Second is Deadsprint, we have a couple in mind for him (Jolteon and Mega Manetric specifically, both because of their speed!), but we also have a third, funnier [lh] one in mind: Spoink!

Okay, so... Hear us out. Spoink's dex entries CONSTANTLY state that it HAS to keep bouncing or moving in some way or it will Literally Die. The death thing isn't true (otherwise it'd be Permanently Dead every time it faints dhsjsjxndfn) but. That made us laugh sorry. A bit fitting for someone who embodies the need to Move Constantly, we think? <:]

Spoink is a baby Pokemon so it also isn't the strongest, but its evolution, Grumpig, is pretty damn bulky! Both of them are psychic types too which is always a fun type to train in our opinion :3c

And, finally for today, 🏵️!

So... At first we kind of thought about Missingno? Missingno is technically not a Pokemon, rather an infamous glitch throughout the series, but... It acts like a Pokemon. Technically has an appearance like one too. But depending on the game you're playing it changes drastically in looks NFJSJDKF

↑ This is its most famous look!

Missingno is a very interesting Pokemon!!! It can be used to generate infinite amounts of items, catch any Pokemon you want if you manipulate the game right, hell you can catch it yourself and completely break the game with how overpowered it is! It's VERY fun to mess around with <22 <33 Missingno's like... An all powerful entity that shouldn't exist but does against all odds, y'know?

But as for ACTUAL Pokemon, one we thought would be fitting aesthetically is Solrock!

Solrock, despite the name and appearance, is not a fire type! It's rock/psychic, and its counterpart Lunatone is the same typing! :]

We thought it'd fit 🏵️ better than Missingno definitely but to our (very thought disordered and psychosis addled [lh]) brain we DID make some connections between 🏵️ and Missingno bUT ANYWAYS ONTO SOLROCK!

Solrock is a really neat concept!!! It balances out Lunatone and has the Sun And Moon™ Motif goin for it! According to its dex entries, it shines when it spins, and its Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl entries state that it's rumoured to be the avatar of the sun!

We trained one a long while ago and it kicked ass tbh 10 outta 10 will train again (tho we Are a bit more partial to Lunatone tbh. Tho u rlly can't separate them ig they rlly do balance each other out well Message cancelled. Why did our phone auto suggest I type baka instead of balance???)

Fun fact, Solrock was introduced in gen 3, and is one of the 7th gym leaders' star Pokemon! The 7th gym leaders, Tate and Liza, specialize in double battles, which is where Solrock shines (no pun intended)!

That's all for now our beloveds, we lov y'all!! <222 <333!!!

!! YAYYY HIIIII STARBRIGHTS :D!!! all of these guys were available for comment to various degrees so here ya go :3c

HELL YEAH WHAT A FUNKY LIL DUDE!!! thats literally so funny, turns invisible just to obstruct your path lmao?? nuisance behavior, i love it lmao :] hkjgh THERE REALLY DO BE SOME SPECIFIC ASS MACHINES LMAO!! also not even being the shiny color HGKJH and for what?? just to be ourple? silly hgkjh

very fitting to be a normal type, im the masker to help us look normal after all jglkj but that it can transform into different types too, very shapeshiftery, I LIKE THIS GUY!! excellent choice!! :D - Blender

---

LMAO YEAH?? ADHD ICON SPOINK LETS GOOOOO!! THAT'S LITERALLY SO MECORE I DO GOTTA KEEP MOVING OR I'LL DIE (<- He won't literally die.) I LITERALLY DIE HGKJFH IM ALSO NOT THE STRONGEST THATS TRUE! I DONT EVEN THINK IM VERY FAST IM JUST ALWAYS MOVING HGKJH!! VERY COOL :3!! - DEADSPRINT!!

---

it was unexpected to be assigned a pokemon before the others (lighthearted). based on how little you see of me through the shroud, you may have a skewed perception of my true nature. …i digress.

i can certainly see where you are coming from for missingno. your description of it feels fitting. not like the others, not meant to be there, yet there all the same. could break everything if it were not careful. solrock is lovely, very vibrant. i enjoy it having a counterpart in lunatone, balancing the sun and the moon. it's a sweet sentiment, thank you kindly for your assignments. - 🏵️

thank you so much dearests!! :D these are all so cool, we always love reading your reasoning and experiences with each of the pokemon!! we lov y'all so much <333 <222!!!

anxiety will have me wishing i could google search things like “how to ask my manager if i can put her as a reference on my resume while i try to find a second job so i don’t have to move back halfway across the country to live with my mom and feel like i’m starting over again”

one action that i haven't seen a ton of people discuss online is writing a letter to the editor (not one specific editor, that's just what they're called). i'm thinking of palestine, but a lot of this can apply to other things. jvp has a letter to the editor guide here if u think you'd find that helpful. it's specific to jvp members from what i remember, so take what applies. individual papers will sometimes have their own sets of guidelines as well so be mindful of those. letters are generally more likely to make it to print when it comes to local papers, but you can also write letters to like. the nyt or wapo. you're just more likely to not get a response. as tools for social change, letters' purpose is to sway public opinion and pressure via institutions of media. i focus on local papers because, like with bds campaigns targeting college campuses, this stuff is going to start on a smaller scale first, but can and does build over time. think of one berkeley branch voting to divest very soon after another did first. this is like that to me.

i recommend seeing what other articles individual papers have about palestine just to get a feel for what might be most impactful for you to write about, or what still needs to be said. for local papers, you might want to tie it to your community in some way (and that might even be a requirement to get in the paper), so you can talk about, for example, how much money comes out of your specific area for israel, using uscpr's funding map. you can talk about protests in your area. if there are arab, palestinian, and/or muslim communities in your area, you talk about them. if there are medical facilities or lots of families in your area, you can talk about them. if there's a big tech presence in your area, you can relate it to that. education, youth, food, policing, etc. there's something. there are probably multiple lines of connection between your local community and palestine. you can also just respond to a published article or lte.

if you are writing a letter to the editor, it will be considered an opinion piece, so you can include opinions or things that may be seen as more subjective. check out other letters to the editor to get a sense for the type of tone/content/etc they are looking for. don't be afraid to break or bend those rules, but it's helpful to be aware of the general vibe of the paper, what's likely to get published, and what needs to be said.

what do you want your community to be talking about? what needs to be brought to their attention? what misconceptions need to be corrected? what issues do you want to put on the table? what do you want to add to the conversation? what's missing? what should be done about it?

if you can't make it to in-person actions, this can all be done online. and if you consider yourself good with words, this may be an area in which you're uniquely effective.

ps: citing other articles or sources is always helpful and is a way to platform other articles/books/texts that u think should be shared, although i don't think that's usually a requirement for ltes. if u can't think of one, ask around.
