♰ABOUT MAYURA♰

Backstory:

A girl who loves playing video games. She also happens to be an immortal witch who wields tremendous power. Despite her youthful appearance, she's been alive for approximately 400 years. As a result of being reborn in our current world and universe, she exhaustively played every game imaginable of every genre. Her biggest special interest in life is retro games, particularly titles from many different regions released on arcade and micro-computer platforms. In more recent years PC games that popped up in comparatively modern years especially infatuated her feminine heart. In wake of her manic/excessive gamer compulsions going too far, she set up a new residence in the digital world and 'cyberized' herself into the 'cyberbrain'. [implying she caught 'Closed Shell Syndrome'] Her personality is straightforward and brimming with curiosity, it's easy for her to fall deeply absorbed in things she's curious about. Her favorite topics of choice are retro games and microcomputers.

As for her hobbies, she spends her time collecting and assembling microcomputers as well as farming greater demons. (2)

She's president of the "Even if the simulation game reveals a dead body I still won't ragequit" club.(3)

Trivia:

The popular slang "Zettai Ryouiki" (Japanese: 絶対領域, lit. "absolute territory") was coined thanks to Mayura's character design reference sheet. "Zettai Ryouiki" refers to the area of bare skin in the gap between overknee socks and a miniskirt[1] (or shorts).[2] It can also be used to describe the clothing combination. The term first became widespread in otaku slang as one of the attributes of moe characters in anime and manga, but it is now used by the general public in Japan.

Mayura's launch date being March 9th is a very significant and meaningful date, in Japanese 3/9 can be read as "San-kyu" as in "Thank you".

March 9th coincides with Hatsune Miku day

Mayura was the first ghost created that wasn't the default Nini-tan

The "Wiz" in "Nanika Wiz Mayura" has a double meaning as it is both a reference to the game Wizardry and a stylized romanization of the English word "with". "wiz" is also the name of the balloon skin she comes with.

the hexagram( ✡️)on Mayura's hat is a Kagome Crest. It's a commonly seen symbol of spell-casting in Japanese art and media. Buddhism and Shintoism are Japan's primary religious traditions.

In honor of the artists behind Doll In Mind offering a final last chance order for some of their more popular heads before they totally close up shop (poke around Instagram under the #dimdoll tag to find group orders being put together now), I thought I’d get my Larinas out for a few quick pics. The one in the white wig with the company faceup (with some touchups), is on the DIM body, the blonde with the custom faceup is on a Doll Leaves body:

@piscesniche The one on the the left is from the website for elf Flowne. If the one on the right is the same sculpt, it's been very heavily modified.

[r0tt3nheart]

@illia-lost-it ah thank you for clarifying!! This preorder was the first time I got across this sculpt and I'm not very familiar with it ^^ but thank you again!

i wish all affluent people who are in college and make nonstop jokes about being poor a very understand that poverty is not a temporary condition

[2percentsugar]

if you are poor for four years and know the exact date at which it will end, you have not experienced poverty.

this is the same reason that "politicians should have to live a month on minimum wage to see what it's like" doesn't work. poverty is a lack of resources beyond monetary ones. it's not having family members you can borrow money from. it's not having a place to stay if you were outdoors for a bit. it's not having the nice kitchen equipement with which you could make food more cheaply. it's having to buy cheaper things which will break sooner because you can't afford the better ones.

the bit about knowing the end date is not a semantic point to make me feel better. if you know you'll be out of this soon, it enables you to make choices you otherwise couldn't. you can splurge on pizza delivery or spend half your paycheck on good shoes because it isn't real. if a crisis comes, the irreality of this situation allows you to deal with it. you can ask your parents for money, you can stay with someone for a while. impoverished people can't.

i think a lot of times otherwise progressive people come out of college more classist because they think they know what it's like to be poor now, and they made the right choices, so why doesn't everyone else? you weren't, and you didn't. poverty is more than that.
