Mono no aware

Here is an obscure emotion that took me a few days to understand but Mono no aware is a Japanese idiom that describes the feeling of bittersweet and a deep appreciation for the impermanence of life. it can be translated as "the pathos of things."

If this is confusing, it's the feeling of nostalgia but instead of longing for the past, Mono no aware longs for the present moments. The moments where life and time becomes still as you appreciate the beautiful sensation of euphoria, however you're sadden that the sensation won't last for long.

If this is still confusing. One prime example is in studio ghibli's Spirited Away, where Chihiro sits on the train in solitude as she stares off in longing. The scene captures this stillness and poignant feeling where it feels like the story has taken a pause. It's the quiet moment where you finally enjoy the silence after going through hardship, where you reflect and appreciate what was lost and what has changed.🌸🩷🌿

Self Portrait: Bliss

Honestly, this is a shock for me because I didn't think I had the skill to draw this BEAUTIFUL!😭

The artstyle was inspired by Disco Elysium!

Schadenfruede

Here is an emotion called Schadenfreude, an emotion that's described as feeling enjoyment after seeing someone's misfortune! Schadenfreude might sound mischivious and cruel, but he's just a giant goofball who has no sense of social ethics LOL!

I'm a bit late but, I watched Inside Out 2 and I was VERY inspired, In fact, It made me search up other emotions that I was unaware about, like Ennui. And I found a bunch of obscure emotions and I thought... What if I designed these emotions in a Pixar style? Here is an emotion called Jouska, an emotion that's described as a hypothetical conversation that someone compulsively plays out in their head. Basically, that feeling when you win an argument in the shower.🤔💭😶‍🌫️
