Masquerade

Fandom: "Project Sekai".

Rating: General Audiences.

Category: F/M.

Characters/Pairings: Kiritani Haruka; Kamishiro Rui; Mai; Minor Original Characters; Kiritani Haruka/Kamishiro Rui.

Additional: Kiritani Haruka-centric; POV Kiritani Haruka; POV Third Person; Pre-Het; AU; Fantasy; Light Angst; Hurt/Comfort; Psychology; Character Study; Intrusive Thoughts; Guilt; Internal Conflict; Ballroom Dancing; Costume Parties & Masquerades; Sorcereres; Nobility.

Summary: A masquerade ball is that kind of the events that allows noble and royal figures to wear a mask that is both metaphorical and material. Along with all their desires, regrets, plans, intrigues and secrets, they also hide their faces.

(AU where Kiritani Haruka is the daugther of the noble house bound by her duties and her over-responsibility and Kamishiro Rui is a freedom-loving but very lonely sorcerer.)

Notes: I really need to return to work on other fanfics from this certain AU. One day I will definitely write something else in it.

A character trait/dynamic that I'm endlessly compelled by is someone dealing with (or, like, failing to) being the child of people who were too busy being good people to have the time and attention to be good parents. This can be anywhere from 'was a public defender who gave a shit working 60 hour weeks with basically no vacations' to 'left their family behind to join the revolution/war effort and is now a universally beloved martyr-hero who saved/remade the world with their final breath' on the groundedness spectrum. The important thing is a viscerally felt but confused and ugly mess of longing, resentment, and guilt about feeling the resentment.

Really hate that most people don’t understand the difference between “self-expression” and “artistic-expression.”

I say this as someone who sells pottery, and many people who see my art assume I am using art as an outlet to “express myself.”

I am not.

I use art to challenge myself. A lot of what I do is the equivalent of doing a hard sudoko or a half marathon, answering the question of “can I do this?”

I use art to question things and explore ideas. Finding physical synthesis between concepts and working out a design to its end state.

I use art to make money. I make some things just because I suspect they’ll sell well, and I keep making them when they do.

This idea that an artist is “putting themselves out there” every time they create is not only stupid, but harmful, and it kills critique and analysis.

Yes every creative work is influenced by its creator, but the most preliminary step of analysis is to define the purpose of a work of art (functional, narrative, entertainment, persuasive, decorative, ceremonial, etc.) and a vanishingly small percentage of that is self-expression. Even then, it’s generally tied to the self’s relationship with something else—perception, society, etc.

It’s very tiresome to have people assume they know you because they like (or dislike) your art, to make assumptions about who you are and how you approach the world. It’s nothing new— people called the Impressionists insane and the Fauvists degenerate. And now people are expected to hand out their identities and traumas to prove they have the right to explore certain subjects.

But to actually understand art, you have to contextualize it beyond assuming it’s just what the artist felt like making at the moment and it’s somehow coming from their deepest soul, or you’ll badly misinterpret most art you come across.

Dirty White

Fandom: "Royal Scandal".

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences.

Category: F/F.

Characters/Pairings: Rosetta Leroux; Chelsea (Alicia) Carroll; Rosetta Leroux/Chelsea (Alicia) Carroll.

Additional: Experimental Style; Character Study; Psychology; Drama; Heavy Angst; Hurt No Comfort; Complicated Relationship; Unhealthy Relationship; Love/Hate; Unrequited Love; Obsession; Unreliable Narrator; Mental Instability; Self-Hatred; Jealousy; Minor Violence; Mirrors; Rosetta Leroux Needs a Hug.

TW! Unhealthy relationship; severe mental instability; blood; violence; thoughts about death; thoughts about murder!

Summary: Rosetta stands in front of the mirror and looks at it. In her hands there is a poster torn from the wall in a wild rage, terribly crumpled, ripped in several places. She sees her best friend there. She sees her worst enemy there.

Notes: This work is pretty small and repetitive, but it is so emotionally strong in my eyes. (Repetitions are intentional.) This fandom needs much more fanfics!!! (Also I need to mention that I'm not a native English speaker, so this text can contain some mistakes or some strange phrasing.)

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll is a book about a small child who is forced to solve RPGmaker puzzles, which is very impressive given that the book was written in 1865

[watanabemidori]

I always love the references to "Alice in Wonderland" and various AUs in such a setting. (Actually, I even wrote a "Project Sekai" fanfic with it! Though it is tiny.)

So I'm really happy that the scene like this exists in "Witch's Heart".

[watanabemidori]

I really love that in Sirius's plagued with paranoia and suspicions mind the image of "evil Noel" looks so alike to his memory about the real figure of truly evil Nicholas.

Speaking about cruel parallels......

[watanabemidori]

Sirius Gibson is my hero here!!

"Better to not know... I can't think that's true." I get him so much here! I'm also rarely satisfied with the decision of hiding the truth from someone! (Don't get me wrong, there are situations where it is really for the best, but this one is not this case, Noel, you make a mistake.) That's why I'm always so happy when the character decides not to use this tactic or to change it!

I really love that Sirius dislikes so much to hide the truth from Claire and that he wants to tell it to her as soon as possible. (By the way, he makes up his mind to still do it, despite Noel's words, after Claire herself asks him to tell her everything.🥰🥰) He is sure that Claire can accept the truth and the knowledge about it will help her.

Of course, the part of Sirius's reason for this decision is selfish. He doesn't want to be the only one among two of them who knows everything. He doesn't want to remain forgotten by Claire. Moreover, he REALLY doesn't want to let Dorothy be forgotten by Claire. Of course, all of it is present. But I really don't believe that he doesn't think about Claire and her feelings and her situation here.

When I say that I can be very old-fashioned sometimes, I really mean this.
