Time to Rest~

So after the event(s), it’s time to rest... It’s so tiring this time somehow, but no regret, everything for Kazu this time~

[chiaki-mainblog]

How does this even work? But they’re so strong for no reason and I’m pretty happy looking at it~

[chiaki-mainblog]

Why is my alternate account so lucky? I never had this kind of luck before in my Main, it’s my first pull...

I guess I’m happy though, shouldn’t be complaining actually...

ENGLISH

What were those feelings from the beginning Hey, where should I start telling you about this There’s this stirring happening in my chest This must be magic that’s like love

My legs are trembling, but I’m so excited that I cannot sit still I saw through the spotlight that guided me And I was able to start walking

And then, something inside of me was born Even now, this beating in my hearts keep on going without end All this light and these sceneries are showing through All because of the dreams that were made to bloom

To make sure that these colors won’t fase someday We hold on tightly to the beginning of our dreams So that we may recall them, no matter how many times Always and always, we’ll yearn for them

We’ve found the everlasting

What were those feelings from the beginning I want to find it out together Even if what you said is a pipe dream I still believe in it

I don’t mind That’s why I’m crazy It’s okay if you fall Even on scattered days I’ll draw a rainbow

On a stage where there is nobody I was just standing in the dazzling light Morning came again on a lonely night To melt my heart

How many times the seasons passed now I hope that it will never change Abundance of gentle miracle There is a touch of it here

Any confusion or tears All spun together It’s a scenario only for us It resonates with joy until the curtain goes down

I’m sure in everyone’s heart Surely If it’s a life story You should bloom like yourself Don’t made anything up Bloom now

(Come on) And then, something inside of me was born (Hot) Even now, this beating in my hearts keep on going without end All this light and these sceneries are showing through All because of the dreams that were made to bloom

I’m sure it won’t fade one day The beginning of an important dream If you call it you will remember Once more

The continuation Let’s see it for the first time Even now I still heard the same heartbeat

KANJI

初めての気持ちなんだよ ほら 君に何から話そう 胸の奥舞い上がるのは もう 恋のような魔法だ

震えそうな足でも 待ちきれないドキドキ を 見透かしたスポットライト 導かれるままに歩き出していた

そして 僕の中で生まれた この鼓動今もまだ嗚り止まずにいる 滲む景色と光がいくつもの 夢を咲かせてくれたから

きっといつの日か色褪せないように 大切しまってた夢の始まりを 何度だってそう思い出せるなら いつも胸を焦がす

永遠見つすけた

初めての気持ちなんだよ ほら 一緒に聞かせて欲しい 君の言う絵空事なら まだ 信じてしまうんだ

拙くてもいいんだよ だからこそ僕は夢中さ 転んでもそれで良かっだ 散らばった日々さえ虹を描いて

誰もいないステージの上で 眩しい光 にただ立ち尽くしていたよ 孤独な夜にもう一度朝が来て 僕の心溶かすように

今は何度目の過ぎ去る季節も いつまでも変わらずにと願ってしまうよ 優しい奇跡が勿休無いくらい ここに有リ触れてる

どんな戸惑いも涙も 共に紡ぎ出す全てが 僕立ちだけのシナリオなんだよ 喜びに溢れて幕が下りるまで 響け

誰の心にもまだきっと 確かに息づいた物語なら 自分らしく咲げばいい 何も誤魔化さないで 今咲き誇れ

(さあ)そして 僕の中で生まれた (熱い)この鼓動今もまだ嗚り止まずにいる 滲む景色と光がいくつもの 夢を咲かせてくれたから

きっといつの日か色褪せないように 大切しまってた夢の始まりを 君が呼ぶなら思い出して もう一度

その続きを 初めてみようか 今も 同じ 鼓動が聴こえた

⭐⭐⭐~HBD KAZU~ ⭐⭐⭐

Not a translation post, pretty happy that I finally got tri-coloured full bloom Kazu for my JP account (ignoring the initial). I totally over budget, my gem count is basically 0 now, but no regret at all.

Also managed to unlock the special stage, does anyone know what this does? It opened after I filled all the cookie boxes with 300 cookies~

A3! Wiki (yaycupcake) needs help!

I just saw this post the other day from the admin for the A3! Wiki (at yaycupcake).

I won’t rehash too much, since the post says it all, but the admin currently pays server costs out of their own pocket and the increased traffic to the website is causing costs to go up. They no longer have the means to support the costs on their own and are looking for help from the A3! community!

I think that almost every A3! fan has gone to this Wiki at least once, and I know that tons of us content creators rely on it extensively (I know I do, at least).

Everyone has different financial situations, but if you can spare some money to help support the Wiki, the post has a link to Patreon where you can donate! If you don’t have the means to contribute financially, then you can still help by hitting REBLOG on this post! (Also, since I have links embedded in this post, I’m 99% sure this post won’t show up on a search so reblogging will be the only way that others will see this post!)

Let’s help this message reach as many people as possible!!

My A3! ItaBoard Journey

Well, out of whatever reason, I decided to make an ItaBoard for Nanao Taichi from A3! I’ve been wanting to have an ItaBoard or ItaBag previously but never had a character that I liked enough to do so. This time, idk why but I decided to make one at last. This post is just for me to save the progress and journey of my first ItaBoard ever. Enjoy~

For those who are lazy to read, current end product is here~

So I bought a pink board which is supposed to be Taichi’s colour, but it ends up more like Yuki’s colour? It didn’t bother me much but that’s my starting point, a clean slate of board.

Well, I bought some gift wrappers to decorate the board, but I didn’t expect to actually cover the whole board. Why did I even buy a pink board for?

I started with the letters for the name. For this, I bought some precut letters and wooden letters for the first letter. I’m too lazy to spell Nanao (actually because it has 2 letter ‘a’ and I’m too lazy to buy another precut letter set) so I decided to go with 7 and o. (For those who doesn’t know, 7 is nana in Japanese so combined together, you can read it as Nanao).

Painted the wooden letters, I forgot to consider that the wood itself is brown so it looks a bit dark. But good enough since I’m keeping the red-pink accent throughout the board I guess.

Finally fixed the letters.

Since it’s a bit plain, I decided to put some stickers and flowers as part of the decoration.

Next, for the rubber straps, I added a chain along the board so I can hang the straps. I decided not to hang any acrylics because I have enough rubber straps to go to. Also, I kept some of the plastic wrappers because I want to keep them clean as much as possible.

That’s how it looks after I balanced the rubber straps position. Also, on the top, I tried to make a rosette(?) using ribbons because I like the cookie Taichi design.

I figured I have enough rectangular badges to go about covering the whole base. So I lined them up and cover one row with the rectangular badges.

On top, I added the visual board because why not. Also added some flowers and stickers to cover the tape mark/stapler bullet mark from the chain.

I decided to collect the oddly shaped badges together and put them in the middle. Decorated the surroundings with more flowers because why not.

So that’s how it looks like now.

The rest was just putting the round badges and I also wrote his name in Kanji along with ‘Mankai Company no Akigumi’. Anxiety is real when I was writing those. I think I’m going to cover the ‘Nanao Taichi’ kanji with other paper cuttings because it’s too close with the rubber straps though.

The rest is fill in the blank. The top looks a bit blank compared to the bottom so I sticked some more stuffs on the top. Draw some shadows for the letters so it popped out more and spammed flowers to fill in the blank among the rubber straps. Well, I really liked how it came out but I still feel the need to cover the kanji.

Better quality picture for the end result. If you realized, I also added the ribbon on the corner for no reason. Put random stickers and ribbons in between to fill up the space as well. I fixed the kanji as I pasted bigger letters. Still covered by the rubber strap though, but I shortened the straps for the middle 2 straps so the kanji is more apparent. I will post an update after I paste it on my wall. Currently, I’ll stop here because I don’t have anything to paste the (heavy) board on my wall.

10 outline techniques for writers

With this post I listed 10 outline techniques to help writes move their story from a basic idea to a complete set of arcs, plots, sequences and/or scenes. Or to simply expand whatever you have in hands right now.

If you have a vague story idea or a detailed one, this post is for you to both discover and organize. A few technique will work perfectly. A few won’t. Your mission is to find the one that works best for you. That said, I advice you to try out as many techniques as possible.

So, are you ready? Open your notebook, or your digital document, and let’s start.

1. Snowflake method: Start with a one-sentence description of the novel. Then, develop this simple phrase into a paragraph. Your next step is to write a one-page summary based on the paragraph, you can write about characters, motivations, goals, plots, options, whatever you feel like. From this point on, you can either start your book or expand the one-page summary into four pages. And, at last, four pages into a brief description of known sequences of scenes. Your goal is to make the story more and more complex as you add information, much like a forming snowflake.  

2. Chapter by chapter: List ten to twenty chapters, give each chapter a tittle and a brief description of what should happen. Then, break each chapter into three to five basic sequences of scenes. Give each sequence a title, a brief description and a short list of possibilities (possibilities of dialogues, scenarios, outcomes, moods, feelings… just play around with possibilities). From this point on, you can either create the scenes of sequences with a one-sentence description for each or jump straight to writing. Your goal is to shift from the big picture to a detail-oriented point of view.

3. Script: This might sound crazy, but, with this technique, you will write the screenplay of your story as if it’s a movie. No strings attached to creative writing, just plain actions and dialogues with basic information. Writing a script will take time, maybe months, but it will also enlighten your project like no other technique. Your goal is to create a cinematic view of your story. How to write a script here. 

4. Free writing: No rules, no format, no step, just grab a pen or prepare your fingers to write down whatever idea that comes up. Think of possibilities, characters, places, quests, journeys, evolutions, symbolisms, fears, good moments, bad moments, clothing, appearances. Complete five to ten pages. Or even more. The more you write, the more you will unravel. You can even doodle, or paste images. Your mission is to explore freely.

5. Tag: This technique is ideal if you have just a vague idea of the story. Start by listing ten to fifteen tags related to the story. Under each tag, create possible plots. And, under each plot, create possible scenes. Grab a red felt pen and circle plots and scenes that sparkle your interest.

6.  Eight-point arc: With this technique you will divide your story into eight stages. They are Stasis, Trigger, Quest, Surprise, Critical Choice, Climax, Reversal and Resolution. The Stasis is the every-day-life of your main character. Trigger is an event that will change the every-day-life of your character (for better or for worse). Quest is a period of your main characters trying to find a new balance, a new every-day-life (because we all love a good routine). Surprise will take your character away from their new found every-day-life. Critical Choice is a point of no return, a dilemma, your character will have to make the hardest decision out of two outcomes, both equally important. Climax is the critical choice put to practice. Reversal is the consequence of the climax, or how the characters evolved. Resolution is the return to a new (or old) every-day-life, a (maybe everlasting) balance.

7. Reverse: Write down a description of how your story ends, what happens to your characters and to those around them. Make it as detailed as possible. Then, move up to the climax, write a short scenario for the highest point of your story. From there, build all the way back to the beginning. 

8. Zigzag: Draw a zigzag with as many up and downs as you want. Every up represents your main character moving closer to their goal. Every down represents your main character moving further from their goal. Fill in your zigzag with sequences that will take your character closer and farther from the goal.

9. Listing: The focus of this technique is exploring new ideas when your story feels empty, short or stagnated. You’ll, basically make lists. Make a long list of plot ideas. Make another list of places and settings. Make a list of elements. And a list of possible characters. Maybe a list of book titles. Or a list of interesting scenes. A list of bad things that could happen inside this universe. A list of good things. A list of symbolism. A list of visual inspiration. A list of absurd ideas you’ll probably never use. Then, gather all this material and circle the good items. Try to organize them into a timeline.

10. Character-driven: Create a character. Don’t worry about anything else. Just think of a character, their appearance and style. Give them a name. Give them a basic personality. Give them a backstory. Develop their personality based on the backstory. Now, give this character a story that mirrors their backstory (maybe a way to overcome the past, or to grow, or to revenge, or to restore). Based on your character’s personality, come up with a few scenes to drive their story from beginning to end. Now, do the same thing for the antagonist and secondary characters.

So, when is it time to stop outlining and start writing?

This is your call. Some writers need as many details as they can get, some need just an basic plot to use as a North. Just remember, an outline is not a strict format, you can and you will improvise along the way. The most important is being comfortable with your story, exploring new ideas, expanding old concepts and, maybe, changing your mind many times. There’s no right or wrong, just follow your intuition.
