ok hi as already stated on @jiahn's blog, i'm laur and i had the bright idea to bring in two muses right away! :) sora deserves an intro post of her own, so i'll keep this part brief and get right into more about sora under the cut!

long story short about sora: her sister was signed as a trainee and sora never forgave her for it /hj

in all seriousness, i took a little inspiration from irl jungsis's background and had the younger daughter scouted, but the older daughter was signed in her place due to the parents' wishes. that just burned sora alive; she's so competitive she made it her life's goal to "reclaim" what should have been hers in the first place (but don't get me wrong, she loves her sister to death and was never mad at her)

i didn't do this on purpose but i ended up with two dancer muses... she became obsessed with learning to dance and ended up being quite good at it... so good, in fact, that she was among the fifty-ish teenagers chosen out of thousands of applications to participating in dancing high. she was ultimately eliminated from the program before in episode 6, though it did help to kickstart her career as a professional dancer. since then she worked as a backup dancer for idol groups and soloists.

in 2019 she was signed as an idol trainee to culture creative. in 2020 she appeared in a deep blue music video and in 2021 she'd appear as a dancer in a stray music video here or there (perhaps the company trying to tease an upcoming girl group? 👀). in 2022 she finally made her idol debut with future/femme and honestly? she never really felt prepared to be in a creative, self-produced group.

while she's participated in choreography for her group, she really doesn't feel like she contributes as much to the team as the other members. she didn't think of herself as a particularly strong choreographer in the beginning (despite everyone telling her otherwise) and her confidence slowly build over the last year. just recently, she released a solo music video and song. she wants to explore her creativity in solo work so she can produce better work for future/femme, which remains her top priority. she still very much feels like a work in progress and is incredibly greedy to learn more, be better, and take every opportunity that comes her way!

so plot-wise, i again didn't come up with much in the way of specifics or particulars... but i was also more conscious to try to make her background as plottable as possible. maybe she worked as your muse's backup dancer or appeared in their music video? for non-idol/musician muses, she's so friendly and outgoing that if you've even crossed paths with her once she'd want to be your best friend. or maybe that's annoying to your muse. old classmates, other dancers she wants to learn from or collab with, or even older celebrities that she herself is a fan of!

like with jiahn, please like this post so i can send you a message (i might try to keep all my dms on one account so if i message you through jiahn. sorry for any confusion!). i'm looking forward to getting this girl involved!

Some writers: *meticulously plan out every plot point and the tone and meanings before they start writing*

Me:

I've had this little idea in my head for a while now, so I decided to sit down and plot it out.

Disclaimer: This isn't meant to be some sort of One-Worksheet-Fits-All situation. This is meant to be a visual representation of some type of story planning you could be doing in order to develop a plot!

Lay down groundwork! (Backstory integral to the beginning of your story.) Build hinges. (Events that hinge on other events and fall down like dominoes) Suspend structures. (Withhold just enough information to make the reader curious, and keep them guessing.)

And hey, is this helps... maybe sit down and write a story! :)

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
