I’m glad that nothing came out of that sorbet and pico plot throughout the entirety of magical starsign. the game itself does a good job at showing sorbet’s abhorrence and her unwillingness to submit to pico’s forced efforts.

I think they do have a small amount of development near the end (that wasn’t romance related) of the game but before then pico’s efforts always strikes me as him seeing sorbet as ‘something’s that rightfully his’ as shown in the pictures I put in and she’s clearly astonished by the statement in disgust.

during this time sorbet is under a lot of pressure because of her family’s inability to provide for her education in the esteemed will-o-wisp academy, ofc romance isn’t something that’s on her mind and pico trying to impose that on her obviously isn’t going to make her magically reciprocate his feelings, I would also like to reinstate that sorbet herself doesn’t seem to like pico as something more than a friend, she sets a pretty clear boundary.

Talking about chard in the early morning makes me realize i could keep drawing drawing him as indonesian. Thanks to @axelsc927 i wanna explore more of his backstory lowl

[c3ntaureajuno]

hi there ∠( ᐛ 」∠)_

i just came back from doing an introductory research on balinese masks and the hindu god garuda as a source of inspiration behind master chard. i just noticed you came to the same conclusions/headcanons as me, and id like to hear your thoughts on him. chances are you have more insight on the subject than i do lol

Hoi!╰(▔∀▔)╯ first of all thank you for asking me about this subject matter i truly am grateful that you did research on balinese masks.

As for me, i have to clarify that i am not balinese therefore i cant speak for the whole balinese culture and its people. Im just someone who admires balinese culture and its tradition so i may got some information wrong in this answer. Also, since this is mainly speculation about a fictional character there is going to be a lot of head canon on what i believe chard could represent as a whole.

Chard's mask bears a striking resemblance to indonesian dance mask called tari topeng (topeng dances). Topeng dances (to the iniciated) are famous all over the archipelago, but we're going to speak on Javanese and Balinese dance mask. Dancers and storytellers use these masks as a way to tell stories or old tales of legends and folk stories, stories such as the panji tales as for example. It is widely believed that these masks hold spirits that could possesed the dancers when they dance. The origins of topeng dances can be traced back to pre colonial times where they were mainly influence by animistic and hindu-buddhist religions.

Chard's mask has strong resemblance to a specific mask named the garuda mask. This comes from the beak of the design and also annointed with various instrinsic topeng details you will find in these masks. What makes Chard's mask unique is that it's jawless unlike most topeng dance masks where it covers the entire face.

At first i thought this is just kameoka(the game artist) creative liberties on the design. But after a little bit of digging, i found out there are people in these topeng dances called penasar. Penasar are people who uses a jawless mask to speak clearly and narrates stories of set dance, they often have 2 penasar providing 2 perspective to the narration, often switching between speaking and non speaking characters as the dance goes. Often times, these stories break conventional western stories by adding in current events or local rumors into these stories as well.

I believe that Chard's jawless mask is an intentional design where through his character design we can piece together his personality, in the game he is describe as someone suffering from delusions of grandeur and has theatrical displays, this might piece in together the fact that balinese dances has penasar, we could conclude that chard is a placeholder of a penasar where he narrates tales (albeit boosting his massive ego and grandious tales of himself) he often has theatrical entrances when he meets the main protagonists before entering into a battle. He loves to narrate on his dialogue and often used exagurated language when facing the main characters.

As for his Garuda inspired mask, i believe this is where it may sound contradictory. As for what a Garuda represent, they represent strength, protection, and divination as a servant to Vishnu a hindu God and protector against evil forces ( as much as i want to delve deep into garuda but unfortunately i cannot find more information on garuda mask roles in traditional topeng dances so this is as far as i can go) it may seem contradictory to Chard's representation as one of Magical starsigns main villians, but this is where i believe Chard could represent as moral corruption. Garuda resembles as a symbol of strength and protector but fall into the hands of someone like Chard this mask can be easily perversed into doing something evil or decadance of morals. I think Chard can be seen as a tale of someone who uses the image of good to do some unspeakable evils, and how the image of good can be used to do something evil.

And i think thats all i can answer! Im writing this answer at 12 am as i have trouble sleeping so i decide to go on a ramble on my favorite villains in magical starsign. Like i mention before i cannot speak on behalf of balinese people and their culture so i may got some information wrong in this post (feel free to critique me on where i got things wrong)

Till then thank you so much for your question! It means a lot to me that you took the time to ask me about my favorite interest(☆ω☆)

wanna make your own website?

here's a list of resources from a person that knows jack shit about coding

1. INTENT

first and foremost you need to know why you're making a website. do you want it to be your portfolio, a blog or an art project? the tools for your website will vary depending on your intent. i made my website as a personal blog + art gallery + place where i put all the info on my characters, so the resources will mostly be for that

during this step you need to figure out what you want on your website, page by page. usually you always have a home page, an about page and sometimes a guestbook, other stuff varies.

2. DESIGN

after you have figured out the list of pages for your website, you can start designing. try your best not to make a complicated design, since you will be in hell trying to backend it.

i searched for websites i liked and put screenshots of them in milanote, so that i had like a moodboard of them.

during this step you need to figure out:

- the main palette of your website

- the layout of your website

- fonts you want to use

if you're bold enough you can make a prototype in figma, but for complete beginners even a sketch in your notebook will do.

* for fonts: try to use no more than 3 fonts to make your design cohesive. you can break this rule if that's the style you're going for (like some art projects or personal websites that are trying to emulate the designs of web 1.0)

3. BUILDING

if you're looking for website builders and want to take the easy way out - there's hotglue, a website builder like tilda or wordpress. as far as i understand you build and host your website right there. no coding is required - everything is done through dragging and dropping images, text, etc.

however i advise you to either host a website yourself or use nekoweb. [i was talking about neocities and ai here but i was wrong. use anything you like more] in any case i use nekoweb and so far i like it a lot

so for that you can:

- use templates (a number of free templates is listed here). you will need to do just a bit of coding, but usually template makers give very detailed comments on how to edit their templates. you can edit everything in vscode or online in codepen.

- use websites that help you generate code from your layout: like nekogrape. here you set your website like you want by dragging and dropping blocks and then you copy the code and put it in nekoweb.

4. TIME

you should understand that making a website takes quite some time and generally you will probably always be working on it - editing, adding and removing stuff, making it more accessible. and that's okay - that's literally what makes it so special. so don't worry about making it perfect from the first try - just make it exist first.

5. CODING?

a lot of stuff can be done only through coding (like flashy animations and some effects) and generally i really advise you to learn the basics

html/css is not that complicated especially with the right resources, css is slightly broken but you can figure out how to work with it through trial and error.

here are some books and websites that you can use to learn html/css:

- freecodecamp - a free course to learn the basics

- interneting is hard - an online textbook on html/css

- w3schools - a big wiki on everything html/css related

6. MORE STUFF!!

now that you have the basic outline of your website and you know some stuff on html/css here's a list of resources that you can use to make your website more pretty or more aligned with what you want from it:

parts of your website:

- art gallery

- comments

- a live chat

- guest book from the founder of nekoweb

graphics:

- blinkies

- a cat that follows your mouse

- javascript effects for text or mouse

- old web banners

i will try to update this list as i find more stuff but for now this is something i used/plan to use

after you make your website i would also recommend setting up an rss feed but i don't know how to do it yet so i will come back to you when i've set up my own. : )

so yeah. im waiting for yall on nekoweb go follow me and when you make your website you can share it in the reblogs or comments!!

Theres more coming in! I just need to get an itabag to make it as a reality

1 AM rant |∴◉ ϖ ◉∴|

Sometimes i wish platforms such as X and instagram wouldve benefited if they allow more customization into their profile like tumblr i miss the times where i could come into someone's page and it oozes with their personality and personal aesthetics,like you can tell who they are just by how they decorated their own online space. Now we just got a bio and pic to show it, i wish most social media platforms would offer more customization on their account, there used to be an art of making such accounts back then.

[c3ntaureajuno]

Reblogging this post caused i found a place/website that allows me free roam and creativity which is neo cities. Im glad to find this page, i might need to learn to code for a while to make this page website into a reality (not to mention planning them out as well). As for the strawpage i might used it as a mediator for my socials and promoting my website as well. I gotta sketch it out too so you guys could see my vision

[c3ntaureajuno]

Reblogging AGAIN, because i cant seem to access the neocities website. I looked it up and it may be cause by it's got regional restricted by my own goverment (T_T) there goes my dream of making my own cute and personql website ｡･ﾟﾟ*(>д<)*ﾟﾟ･｡

I'll try and find alternatives to neocities or just used spacehey instead coz im literally in need of my own customized personal page
