even this talent is something borrowed

[enanan-ny]

Hello~

My name is Ena Shinonome, I'm an artist! I'm 21, but please DNI if you're going to be weird, it annoys me.

I currently live in New York, and I'm working with a group of musical artists and a choreographer to create a project that I'm not allowed to reveal the name of yet, but I can talk about it, so that's probably what I'll be doing!

Hey. @can-i-explode-now again. This is a roleplay blog for my pjsk AU, welcome to new york. This blog is specifically for the part "everybody here wanted something more", but there is another, "everybody here was someone else before" following a different set of 5 characters. Yes, this AU is named after the Taylor Swift song.

Basically; Ena moves to New York to get away from the constant comparison to her father. There, she is commissioned to make an album cover and artwork for Shiho Hinomori, who left Leo/Need due to creative differences and is now living in New York and working as a solo musician, and An Shiraishi, a street artist who came to America wanting to fulfill a dream of her late aunt's. Also part of this group is Tsukasa Tenma, a slightly washed up actor who is less well known in America than he thought he was, and is now struggling to find any jobs, and Minori Hanasato, who wanted to be an idol, but could never pass the first round of auditions, so she became a dance teacher, and moved to America to find a job.

everybody here was someone else before follows Mizuki, Ichika, Rui, Kohane, and Haruka, but this isn't about them. Ena doesn't really know them. She knew Mizuki once, but they don't talk anymore, and she knew of the others but never knew them.

Ena talks to Akito, but rarely. She's in contact with Futaba, and maybe wishes she was in a bit more contact with her.... No, she's not in love with her, shut up Akito. (She is.)

Profile picture by me!! Here's the full Ena!

That didn't need to be an essay what us wrong with me all that needed to be was one sentence

[tothechaos]

the thing they dont tell you about learning to "trust the process" is that you forget and relearn it every single time you make a new piece of art. unfortunately there is no cure either

[tsunova]

I DID IT. I asked her out.

SHE SAID YES.

Congratulations!! I knew you could do it!

[enanan-ny]

This is like the best day of my life what do you mean it was this easy?

Well. That's not a high bar but it's not anymore. I will struggle to top this.

[enanan-ny]

oh my god i think this might actually be the best day of my life

[enanan-ny]

My father was somehow both absent and way too present. I think this explains many things that are wrong with me.

[enanan-ny]

I am such an embarrassing person can I just not exist

[dragon-in-a-fez]

come on down to the airport! we got

the worst coffee for $20

the tax-free smells gauntlet

people who have never read signs before

border cops, who are like regular cops except they only do the harassing immigrants part of the job

your country's least favourite franchise bar

[wasp-storm]

anyone that doesn't think envy is a valid character motivation has clearly never been the second best at something before

[tsunova]

She's flying in tomorrow. (I don't know what her plan was if I said no)

Would you mind going to the airport with me? I don't like the idea of going to such a crowded place alone.

- @enanan-ny

You didn’t even need to ask. Of course I will Ena.

—🌟

[enanan-ny]

Thank you!

Oh, and don't you dare tell Akito, he will never let me hear the end of this.

[tsunova]

Of course I won’t.

—🌟

[enanan-ny]

Good. If you do...

I know where you live and I have keys..

[tsunova]

You're an actor right??

- @enanan-ny

…Yes?

How the fuck do I act casual when the girl I've liked since junior high school asked me if she can stay over for a few days while she's in NYC

[tsunova]

Oh fuck. Okay uhmm, give me a second. I can’t really tell you what I do because I’ve been acting almost my entire life so. Just hold on real quick.

—🌟

[tsunova]

I’d say, try to treat everything like one big play. You’re playing the main character, but you aren’t actually her. She has a crush on this girl, not you. If you kinda disconnect yourself from the situation and make it completely impersonal, then that’s a good place to start. Try focusing on you breathing to keep yourself grounded, relax your body language, and try to keep any conversations surface level and try to direct away from certain topics.

And if the worst comes to pass, deny deny deny everything with a smile on your face.

I hope you’ll be okay, and you have my keys if you ever need to get away.

—🌟

[enanan-ny]

Right. I'll try that.

Just need to find a way to say I have a shitty one bedroom apartment but she can sleep on my couch without sounding like an unbelievable creep but I'm sure I'll be fine.

It's alright if you have nothing I just need to make some attempt to sound normal

Me and my brother would slay so many songs so hard but the songs we both like are mostly songs outside of one or both of our ranges or something I really do not want to be singing with him. I'm not singing a fucking love song with my brother no matter how good it is or how well it fits our voices.

[tsunova]

Just learned my irl doesn’t understand sarcasm.

—🌟

[tsunova]

Never mind guess it’s me who doesn’t understand it

[enanan-ny]

Dumbass 😁

[tsunova]

He finally text me back. What did you do.

- @enanan-ny

Did you see my latest reblog?

—🌟

[enanan-ny]

The point is that he text me back. He usually comes online and just ignores me.

[tsunova]

Maybe talking to his favorite senpai made him have a change of heart ❤️

Though he probably did it to be petty or something.

—🌟

[enanan-ny]

If you're anyone's favourite senpai there is clearly someone wrong with the world.

[tsunova]

Kohane.

[enanan-ny]

Sure...
