"You hate your job. The pay is bad, your manager is worse, and customers are somehow both entitled and clueless. Just as you finish contemplating whether unpaid breaks are a human rights violation, weird new people keep showing up to the café. They all seem to know each other. Sometimes they talk in cryptic phrases. What the hell is this domain and why do they want to expand it? One time, a man with stitches on his forehead walked in, made prolonged eye contact with you, and then left without ordering anything. You’re pretty sure he was a serial killer. Another time, the one with white hair and sunglasses indoors mentioned a "higher mission", and you’re 90% sure this is how cult documentaries start. One of your regulars only speaks in weird food-related phrases. You assume he has some kind of medical condition, but no one explains anything to you. But you are not about to ask questions, because ignorance is bliss and also job security. And unfortunately, they are all weird and they seem very interested in coming back."

ᨳ♡₊➳ a/n: nanami lovers come get y'alls food

screaming and crying rn thank you all SO much for the wonderful feedback oh my god 😭🫶 i really do appreciate them so much and they really motivate me!! 🥹❤️ i got my tumblr properly set up now and if you wanna ask me any questions about this story or send any of your thoughts, headcanons, etc. i'd love to hear them!!

You could tell it was going to be a bad day the moment Greg the Manager said, "You got this!" before immediately disappearing into the back to not help you.

Greg had a habit of vanishing like a mirage whenever actual labor was required. If someone spilled an entire oat milk latte on the floor? Greg was gone. If a customer started a full-blown argument about why they should get free refills on an espresso shot? Greg had already ascended to another plane of existence. You were convinced that if the café ever caught fire, Greg’s survival instincts would have him teleporting to another country before the flames even reached the register.

Which meant that during the morning rush, when three separate customers decided to be human disasters at the exact same time, you were on your own.

Disaster #1: A guy aggressively insisted that his cappuccino did not have enough foam, despite the fact that it was all foam. You showed him. He stared at it like it had personally betrayed him. Then he said, “No, but like… more.” You fantasized about launching him into the sun.

Disaster #2: Some finance bro tried to pay with crypto. Just held up his phone with a QR code and said, “Do you guys take Ethereum?” You had to explain, with the patience of a kindergarten teacher, no, you do not take Ethereum, that this was just a café.

Disaster #3: An elderly woman came in and asked for “Just a plain coffee, dear.” You gave her a plain coffee. She stared at it in disgust and asked, “Where’s the hazelnut, the cream, the froth, the caramel?” You reminded her she asked for plain coffee. She gasped in betrayal, like you had taken her firstborn child.

It was too early for this. You were suffering.

Then when the morning rush finally slowed, and you had approximately thirty seconds to consider faking your own death, the bell jingled.

You turned, sighed, and mentally braced yourself.

Standing in the doorway, looking like he already regretted every decision that had led him here, was Kento Nanami.

Now, normally, you wouldn’t fear a customer. But Nanami wasn’t just any customer.

Nanami was a man with standards.

He stepped inside with the slow, deliberate movements of a man stepping into enemy territory. His eyes scanned the café—taking in the flickering light in the corner, the questionably sticky floor, the espresso machine currently making noises like R2-D2 in distress.

You watched as his jaw visibly clenched. Then, with the air of a man mentally calculating the exact moment his soul left his body, he turned to you and said, flatly:

“…Coffee.”

His tone carried the weight of a thousand disappointments.

You gave him a tight-lipped smile, already reaching for a cup. “What kind?”

“The kind that keeps me from quitting my job.”

"Ah. Great choice."

You started his order, because Nanami seemed like the kind of man who would sue you if you took too long.

As you worked, you could feel him watching you in the way someone watches a building slowly collapse, calculating how much money it’ll take to fix it. You glanced up and, yep. There he was, observing your entire workplace with the deep, profound disappointment of a man who once believed in something.

“…Is this place even up to health code?” he asked, voice heavy with the kind of exhaustion that only corporate life could instill.

You shrugged. “Depends. Does emotional trauma count as a contaminant?”

Nanami inhaled sharply. Like he had so many follow-up questions, but he already knew the answers would only bring him pain

He rubbed his temples. “How long have you worked here?”

“Too long.”

You rang up the order, but before you could say the total, Nanami narrowed his eyes ever so slightly, gaze snapping to the handwritten tip jar sitting next to the register.

You had labeled it “THERAPY FUND (I Need It).”

Nanami stared at it.

Then, very slowly, he turned back to you.

“Barista,” he said, voice as grave as if he were delivering a eulogy. “Are you underpaid?”

Oh no.

You had expected at least a few minutes of polite small talk before things derailed into an existential crisis. But no. Nanami had walked in, assessed your suffering, and decided that labor rights violations were the only thing worth discussing today.

See, here’s the thing: Nanami was not the kind of customer you wanted asking this question.

Most people just laughed when they saw the tip jar. Some customers tossed in a few coins. Gojo once put in Monopoly money just to be annoying.

But Nanami?

Nanami had stopped functioning. He was just standing there, staring at you like this was a personal attack on his fundamental values.

"I mean…" You glanced toward Greg the Manager, who was still pretending to be useful. "I'm paid exactly what Greg thinks I'm worth."

Nanami followed your gaze. His expression darkened. His head then slowly turned toward Greg the Manager.

Greg the Manager, sensing a disturbance in the force, looked up, and gave him a lazy thumbs-up. “What’s up, man?”

"You are a terrible employer," Nanami stated calmly.

Greg the Manager blinked. "Huh?"

Without breaking eye contact, Nanami asked, "Are you even qualified to be a manager?"

Greg the Manager grinned and shrugged. “Dude, I got promoted because the last manager quit in the middle of a shift. Left a note that just said ‘don’t let the void consume you.’”

"Increase their pay. Immediately," Nanami ordered, taking a slow, deliberate sip of his coffee like this was an organized coup.

Greg the Manager looked at you. Then at Nanami. Then at Candy Crush on his phone, like he was experiencing a full-blown existential crisis.

Finally, after what was possibly the longest pause in managerial history, he sighed and said, "We don’t have the budget for that."

Nanami closed his eyes. Like he was counting to ten so he didn’t commit a crime.

"I see," he said, calm but deadly.

You, deeply entertained but also slightly terrified, just leaned on the counter. "Yeah, I kinda figured that was gonna be the answer."

“Do you need me to unionize this café for you?” he asked, completely serious.

You choked.

“Wh—what?”

Nanami took off his blazer.

Oh god. Oh no. Oh absolutely not.

“I could do it,” he continued, rolling up his sleeves like he was about to commit a felony in the name of labor justice. “It wouldn’t be difficult.”

“No, no, no,” you said quickly, waving your hands in surrender. “I need this job. And more importantly, I need Greg to not fire me for trying to overthrow the capitalist machine during an unpaid break.”

Nanami narrowed his eyes.

“So you don’t even get paid for your breaks?”

You realized too late that you had given him more ammunition.

He put down his coffee and walked around the counter.

Fifteen minutes later…

Despite your best efforts to defuse the situation, Nanami refused to leave. Instead, he took it upon himself to observe the café.

"Uh," you said, watching as Nanami surveyed the espresso machine like a general strategizing a war. "What are you doing?"

"Fixing things," he replied.

And then. He started working.

Like, full-on working.

Nanami had entirely taken over.

He was managing the café now.

Not because anyone had asked him to, but because he simply could not stand the inefficiency.

He organized the supply shelves.

He rewrote the entire employee schedule in under five minutes.

Greg was banned from touching anything mechanical.

He timed how long it took for Greg to actually respond to an employee’s request. (Four and a half minutes. Greg was playing a very intense round of Candy Crush.)

He watched you make drinks without proper training, without proper equipment, and without proper will to live then helped you.

And the best part?

Customers actually listened to him.

At one point, a woman tried to use an expired coupon.

Nanami just looked at her.

And she left without arguing.

You had never seen anything like it.

By the time your shift neared its end, the café had never been more efficient. The line moved quickly, orders were accurate, and for the first time in forever, you weren’t experiencing an existential crisis every five minutes.

Nanami took a slow sip of his coffee. Nodded, approving.

“This could be a functional workplace,” he remarked.

Greg the Manager, completely baffled, finally found his voice. 

"Uh," he said, scratching the back of his neck. "Do you… do you wanna work here?"

Nanami, in the most disgusted tone you had ever heard, responded with a flat:  

"I would rather be hit by a bus."

He grabbed his coffee and headed towards the exit.

Fair.

And before he walked out, Nanami paused at the door, turned back, and said, completely seriously, with the voice of a man who had seen the horrors of corporate greed firsthand and was deeply, profoundly upset that you were willingly suffering through them—

“You deserve better than this place.”

And then he left.

Greg the Manager whistled. “Damn. Do you know if he's single?"

A few days later, your shift had started like any other mind-numbingly average shift.

You were in the middle of contemplating whether or not you could legally refuse service to people who ordered drinks with more adjectives than actual ingredients when you felt it. A sudden disturbance in the atmosphere.

It wasn’t anything obvious, but something about the café suddenly felt... wrong.

The espresso machine sputtered ominously, the fluorescent lights flickered just once, and the muffin guy in the corner finally looked away from his muffin, like even he could sense the disturbance in the air.

The door swung open with all the grace of a police raid.

It was Yuji. Sweet, cheerful, golden retriever in human form Yuji, who usually bounced into the café like he was the protagonist of a slice-of-life anime. But today?

Today, Yuji slinked in like he was some kind of villain in a psychological thriller. His whole posture had shifted—his shoulders squared, his head held high, a smug smirk tugging at his lips like he’d just orchestrated the downfall of a small nation.

Today, something was deeply wrong with Yuji Itadori. 

Yuji Itadori, the human embodiment of sunshine, had walked in looking like he had just finished his villain arc.

The first thing you noticed was the grin. It wasn’t friendly. It wasn’t normal. It was sharp and smug, like he knew things you didn’t. It practically screamed, I would gaslight, gatekeep, and girlboss if given the chance.

You blinked at him.

Then you blinked harder.

Because Yuji, your number-one most harmless customer, now had face tattoos.

And red contacts.

And some kind of makeup that made it look like he had four eyes.

What in the Spirit Halloween was this?

“…Uh. You good?” you asked, hesitant.

Yuji (?) grinned at you, and you immediately regretted all your life choices.

“Barista,” he said, his voice deeper, richer, like the audio settings had been cranked to "Villain Monologue."

“...Yes?”

Yuji (??) tilted his head, watching you with an expression that was just this side of amused. “What pitiful existence is this? Shackled to the whims of labor, toiling away for mere scraps. Your suffering is profound, lowly peasant."

…Huh.

Okay. That was new.

You blinked, internally processing the fact that someone had just called you a lowly peasant in real life. You had encountered a lot of weird customers, but never one who spoke like a Final Boss trying to recruit you to the dark side.

“…You want a drink?” you asked, deadpan.

Yuji (???) tilted his head, smirking. Then, with the audacity of someone who had never experienced the horrors of customer service, he said: “Ah, you are not as foolish as you look. Give me a black coffee."

Wow. Okay. Somebody thinks they’re edgy.

For a second, you considered saying just that, but decided against it, because rent existed and so did unemployment. Instead, you just nodded like the underpaid, overworked soldier you were.

“Sure. One black coffee.”

You had seen a lot of weird things working here, but this? This was a new level of concerning.

The face tattoos, paired with the weird four eyes effect (which you assumed had to be some next-level Halloween makeup), it made him look like he was either an anime villain or a kid who got way too into Hot Topic in 2009. And the way he was looking at you? Like he was already planning your demise? Like he was debating whether he wanted to drink his coffee or use it to summon a demonic entity?

You knew exactly what this was.

Yuji had an alter ego.

And apparently not a fun alter ego, like a guy who only comes out on weekends to party. No, this was a full-blown anime villain alter ego. One that absolutely vaped in the school bathroom and got into fights over stupid things like “who looked at me wrong.”

You didn’t get paid enough for this.

"Make it strong," he sneered.

You stared at him. "Wouldn’t dream of making it weak."

Yeah. You were deeply, deeply concerned.

But, like all things in this job, you simply ignored it and did your job. Because you did not get paid enough to ask questions. With your usual efficiency, you made the black coffee, because unfortunately, that was your job, and placed it in front of him. “Enjoy.”

Yuji eyed the coffee cup like it had personally offended him, then looked at you. “You dare serve me coffee in such a humble vessel?”

You looked at the cup. Then back at him. “You want a goblet or something?”

He smirked. “Ah, you do have some wit.”

You didn’t like how pleased he sounded. He picked it up, and took a slow sip. Then, ever so slightly, his eyes narrowed. His upper lip curled.

“…What the hell is this?” he muttered.

“Black coffee,” you said flatly. “Like you asked for.”

Yuji made a noise of profound offense. “It is bitter.”

Your deadpan stare could have melted steel. “Yes. That’s what black coffee is.”

Yuji clicked his tongue in distaste. “This is an insult.” He shoved the cup back at you like you had personally wronged him. “Remedy this.”

You sighed. “Okay. How about I just add sugar?”

Yuji considered this. Then, begrudgingly, he nodded. “Very well. But do not disgrace my drink.”

You poured in exactly one sugar packet, stirred it, and handed it back. He took another sip—

And then narrowed his eyes, looking at you like you had just personally surprised him. His eyes flickered, as if waging a silent internal war. You swore you saw his jaw tense.

Then, after a very long pause, he muttered, “…Acceptable.”

“Uh. Thanks?”

Before you could even process the fact that you had somehow earned the approval of whatever persona Yuji was currently cosplaying, he turned—and proceeded to roast every single customer in the café. He leaned back against the counter, looking around the café with the slow, deliberate assessment of a man who had already decided he was better than everyone here.

Then, with the confidence of a man who believed himself to be a god, he sneered, “This place is full of idiots.”

Okay. Wow.

You stood there, watching as he proceeded to roast every single customer in the café like it was his divine right.

“That weakling in the corner?” He jerked his thumb toward some poor college student trying to write an essay. “His posture is absolutely pathetic.”

The innocent college student looked up, deeply confused and a bit hurt.

Then he turned to some girl at a table near the window. She looked up, mid-sip of her drink, just in time for him to smirk and say, “You look like you order matcha lattes.”

She gasped in pure horror as if he had personally insulted her entire bloodline.

He sneered at an elderly woman. “Trembling hands, weak posture… You are but a breath away from oblivion, hag.”

Oh my God.

She just smiled at him. “Oh, you kids and your funny little jokes!”

He blinked. Then scoffed and turned away, muttering something about "insufferable fools" under his breath.

At this point, you were begging someone to explain what the hell was happening.

You should stop this. You should stop this.

…But you were also kind of invested.

“Oh look,” he sneered, eyes landing on Greg the Manager, who had been doing nothing as usual. “A man who’s mastered the ancient art of pretending to work.”

Okay, well. That one was fair.

And then he set his sights on the espresso machine.

The espresso machine, naturally, took that moment to emit a guttural, otherworldly groan—one that sounded less like it was brewing coffee and more like it was summoning a demon from the seventh circle of hell.

He stared at it. It hissed.

You swore he narrowed his eyes like he was assessing a battlefield opponent. Then, after a long pause, he let out a dark chuckle.

“…This machine is cursed beyond mortal comprehension.”

You stared at him. "You done?"

He exhaled, clearly unimpressed by the café and everything in it. "For now."

Then, without another word, he turned and walked out the door, exuding the kind of ominous aura that suggested he was about to go stand on a rooftop somewhere and monologue about the nature of existence.

Wonderful. You loved your job.

The café was silent and then, minutes later—

The door slammed open.

Yuji rushed in, breathless, frantic, eyes wide with panic. He looked deeply horrified. He looked like a man who had just woken up from a fugue state and realized he had committed multiple felonies.

“Oh my god,” he gasped, hands on his knees, like he had just sprinted a marathon, and looking at you with absolute devastation. “I— I am so sorry— please, please don’t ban me—”

“...What the hell was that?” you asked, even though, frankly, you didn’t actually want the answer.

Yuji laughed nervously. “Uh. Would you believe me if I said ‘don’t worry about it’?”

“No.”

“Cool! Because, uh, I really can’t explain.”

You stared at him. He stared back.

Then, very slowly, you reached for a rag and began aggressively wiping down the counter.

“Alright,” you muttered. “Not my problem.”

“Wait, seriously? You’re just gonna ignore this?”

“Yuji, I have seen so many things at this job that I actively choose to ignore,” you said flatly. “This is just another one.”

Yuji looked like he wanted to argue. Then he sighed, shoulders slumping. “Yeah, okay. That’s fair.”

Unfortunately for you, this wasn’t the last time it happened.

Because 'Sukuna'—as you’d overheard Yuji frantically whispering to himself—returned.

Twice.

In one week.

You were growing concerned.

The first time, he strutted in like a menace, demanded another black coffee, insulted two customers, and then dipped like he had better things to do.

The second time, he walked in, took one look at Greg the Manager, and muttered, "This establishment is doomed."

Honestly? Hard to argue.

[gothhabiba]

Najia, I am thinking of printing out the esim flyers with the QR codes and asking local businesses to hang them up in their windows, I've had such success with promoting local community events but never something like this. IDK if they will say they don't want to promote some unknown organization and if I should have a pamphlet or speech prepared in such case. I know you may not have experience in this yourself but hopefully a follower of yours does and can reply.

[Download eSims for Gaza flyer or poster]

The "What does this initiative do? Is there proof that it works?" section at the beginning of the FAQ + Guide explains what the initiative does and why it's needed, along with some links to testimonials. You could print that out (along with the tweets it links to) or pull it up on your phone. I would emphasise that data goes to doctors, journalists, and civilians and that it saves lives. Depending on what the vibes are like you might avoid partisan language (such as, directly mentioning Israel as the reason for the communications blackout).

Of course in addition to private businesses (cafés, salons), look into posting guidelines at public libraries and community halls; and guerrilla postering anywhere there's a lot of foot traffic (telephone poles, the backs of benches, any common graffiti spot).

Have any of my followers experienced pushback or had success with convincing anyone to put up a flyer?

Chapter 4

[elegantballetalk]

Today's watch:

Mariinsky Tour, Joškar-Ola

A general translation with bits and pieces:

The Tour Begins!

This is how our tour starts — with a cheerful crew and lots of excitement. Good morning from our happy company! We’re off, heading to distant lands.

"Guys, Gosha, where are we going?" "Home, I hope!" someone jokes. Yala, Roma, and even our cameraman are coming along for the ride.

While we’re still on the bus, Camilla is already working hard — ruining her pointe shoes! Look!

We arrive at the airport. I’m not sure how to comment on everything that’s happening — I’m just filming. We make it through check-in and security and find a place to grab breakfast. We end up choosing Shokoladnitsa — a cozy café. It’s nearly 9:00 AM, the usual time we would just be waking up at home. Perfect time for breakfast.

Boarding the Plane

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! The crew welcomes you aboard Rossiya Airlines. Please place your suitcases in the overhead bins, and small bags under the seat in front of you. Be careful when opening the bins!

Soon after, we land — welcome to Kazan! We walk through the small, clean, cozy airport, pick up our luggage, and board another bus.

On the Road

On the way, we make a quick stop at a local shop. Everything here is homemade — the woman who owns the place has been running it for years. We buy some dried mushrooms — not sure what for, maybe just for the memory. Maybe we'll cook something delicious!

The break is over and we’re on the road again. Here's Sveta filming me. I film her back!

Arriving in Yoshkar-Ola

We reach Yoshkar-Ola — this is the Ice Palace! And there’s the Water Palace too. Feels like we’re right in the center of town.

Time for lunch — the restaurant was already waiting for us. Here’s a glimpse of what’s on the lunch.

After lunch, we stroll along the river embankment. (Okay, okay, I couldn’t resist — here’s what they fed us!)

Sightseeing

They asked Camilla to take a picture of a famous couple — Grace Kelly and the Prince of Monaco. You can scan the QR code nearby to learn more!

We walk across a beautiful bridge with an amazing view. They tried to start writing a novel in my honor — but only managed the first three letters: "Ram." Still, I’ll take it!

From another angle, you can see it actually says "May 9" — a tribute to Victory Day.

It feels like a mini version of Moscow here. The city is neat, well-kept, and charming.

We also visit a souvenir shop — spoons, cat figurines, bath hats, combs... and lots of funny "Yoshkina Koshka" ("Darn Cat!") souvenirs.

Stretching and quick barre: Grand Pliè in fourth, do not recommend this to anyone.

New Day, New Adventures

New day, new adventures — it’s Sunday, April 20. Unfortunately, allergies kicked in yesterday. Today I’m not feeling my best — swollen eyes and lots of allergy meds, but the spirit is high!

Today is also Orthodox Easter — a bright, joyful holiday. This year, Easter coincides for Orthodox and Catholic Christians, so congratulations to everyone celebrating!

The streets are clean, and the city feels peaceful and quiet. Let me show you the world upside down — here’s a puddle reflection shot!

Back with the Team

The team has arrived — time to film again! Of course, as always, some of them grumble about being filmed. "Hello! Happy Easter!" "Thank you! Truly He is risen!"

At the venue, the girls carry their own suitcases — impressive! They’re so used to people helping them that now they’re a little annoyed no one is helping — it’s pretty funny.

See you at rehearsal! Time to warm up — the stage and the warm-up area are ready.

Backstage Adventures: Day of the Show

Nadezhda invites me backstage — thank you! Tadam-tadam! Tadam! It’s really amazing here.

Costumes are already hanging — ready and waiting. Look, there’s the Golden Slave costume, and nearby, the Vision of the Rose and Chopiniana costumes. My allergy’s still showing — I don't look my best. But oh well, time to warm up, stretch, and get into rehearsal mode. Maybe I’ll capture a few clips too.

Fuel for the Day

Oh, and look what I found at the grocery store — chia seeds! If you remember from a previous vlog, I used them to make a smoothie that gave me lots of energy. Fingers crossed they’ll help today, because Vision of the Rose is seriously tough.

On Stage

We’re already at the venue. The participants are warming up and testing the stage. Our artists are here, the hall is beautiful, and the stage itself isn’t bad either!

Look how they’re preparing for the evening show. There are so many people working behind the scenes, invisible to the audience. It takes a huge team to pull off a performance.

Turns out tonight’s event is supported by the charitable foundation "More Than You Can."

Rehearsals and Warm-ups

We move into a corner to rehearse. There are stage lights all around — some on the floor, others hanging above. Camilla’s warming up. I ask her to show me what she’s doing. Looks like a stretch, though not 100% correct — a bit of a mind trick! (Trust me, I speak like a true Turkish doctor here.)

They start bringing in ballet barres because today's class will happen right on stage.

Here’s a funny moment: — "What do you have there?" — "A camera!" — "I thought it was an owl!"

Meanwhile, greetings fly around — it’s Oksana Skorik’s birthday today! Everyone congratulates her warmly.

The warm-up begins. Today's class is led by Elvira Gennadievna Tarasova. She corrects us: "Shoulders down, lift the hips, hold the body tight, push down the shoulders while lifting upwards. Don't let go of the body"

We work through barre and center exercises, finding our tempo and amplitude for jumps and turns.

Time for Run-throughs

Class is over — time for run-throughs. Rehearsal stretches over two hours, and we’ll see what happens next.

As always, my colleagues laugh at me filming everything — part of the charm.

I meet a dancer from Krasnoyarsk, a contestant in the senior division. She promised to comment later on how she placed.

Backstage, there are cookies and tea to snack on. Outside — bright, beautiful sunshine.

Back to Rehearsals

Rehearsals for Chopiniana and Scheherazade are underway, featuring Nadezhda Batoeva and Anton Sitnikov.

While the run-through is happening, I grab a quick lunch and sit backstage visualizing my variation. Visualization really helps — imagining the sequence makes it easier to perform.

I watch Kristina Shapra rehearse The Dying Swan, while I rehearse Vision of the Rose with Camilla — even at half strength, it’s exhausting!

Pre-Performance Hustle

Found a helpful chart backstage — explaining stage positioning like a football game! Swans pass the ball (metaphorically) through gaps, building a beautiful stage picture.

On my way back to the dressing room, I peek in to see the girls. Camilla, Bibi, Kristina (well she is on stage) — all in great spirits. "Have a wonderful show! Enjoy it!" "Thank you! You too!"

Performance Prep

I finish my makeup and hair.The opening speech plays. We’re dressing up now.

The Sylph is warming up beautifully — even taking flight in her jumps!

We all make small corrections to our standing positions to polish our entrances. The girls line up perfectly. The excitement builds.

Curtain Up!

It’s showtime! I drink my chia smoothie — time to be at 100%.

Here's Nastya doing a 1min plank every day, plank even after the performance — such discipline! I stay warm, stretching my fingers and keeping loose.

The second bell sounds — time to head to the wings. This part of the ballet is truly draining, this is the part where you un aliive but I’m fully resigned as they say, mentally prepared.

Camilla's and I ballet, Le spectre de la rose will take up 38 minutes. Open your eyelids, Brushed by a virginal dream; I am the spectre of a rose O you who brought about my death, You shall be powerless to banish me: The rosy spectre which every night Will come to dance at your bedside.

Final Scenes

The third act is about to begin. The "slaves" from Scheherazade take the stage — what energy!

A huge flower arrangement is gifted to honor the opening of the competition, courtesy of the city officials. Everyone is welcome to take flowers — I even find the rose I danced with. Bravo to everyone!

Post-Show Moments

Now, it's time for dinner… but looks like food might be delayed. No worries — a little post-show hunger is normal for artists!

I jokingly take up a shift at the front desk — handing out and collecting keys as people leave. Someone even thanks me with a gift — I’ll read the note later. So sweet!

Goodbye, Yoshkar-Ola

Our tour comes to an end. The buses take us back to the hotel. Morning comes quickly — we wait for the transfer to the airport.

My allergies are acting up badly, but spirits stay high.

Off we go in our Mercedes Sprinter van, heading to the airport. Camilla, of course, is sewing her pointe shoes — endless!

We board the plane. Finally, we land back in St. Petersburg. The weather is chilly, but it's good to be home.

Tour complete!

♡ My 2023 retrospective: egl version ♡ PART 2/9

During the month of February, I also bought these shoes from a normie shop to use both in lolita and in normie outfits. You'll see them again later. I think they look good in lolita coords, especially with velveteen. I also got these bracelet and ring from Etsy.

A random building from the place where I live. I think it's pretty.

But the main event of February was the Divina Commedia tea party in Rome. It was my first international lolita tea party and I was very nervous. I had been planning my coord for one year, because it was the year I got back into lolita after a long hiatus and I had to gather all the right pieces.

The theme of the event was Dante's Divina Commedia with its heaven, hell and purgatory. My coord was inspired by Naples's cult of the souls of purgatory. I even prepared a QR code for people to scan and read this little thing I wrote about it, but only one person actually scanned it.

I went with my friends Ilaria and @saturnia-pyri, but I look bad in every photo. If I could go back in time I wouldn't wear that wig, but I would probably have the same awkward face and poses. I'm so glad I got the chance to see my friends in that occasion, though.

All in all it was a really beautiful event, it made me fall in love with this fashion even more. The clothes in the fashion show were gorgeous too. Seeing so many lolitas in one room is amazing, I loved how everyone was dressed, even the ones that were wearing other substyles that I don't usually like.

Me and my other friends also went to this cute café in Rome and we even got some macarons at the train station!

When I got back home from this wonderful trip, I was motivated to try something different from what I would normally wear.

This is an example of that. Which makes me realize that I did, in fact, wear this ETC jsk in one lolita coord: this one. It's a bit too much old school leaning for my taste, but it's still okay. Coord rundown: Jsk: Tea Cup Print Sleeveless OP by Emily Temple Cute Blouse: Baby the stars shine bright Bolero: Bodyline Socks: Angelic Pretty Everything else: Off-brand

March

In March I got these two things off lace market: the first one is this lovely pink AP blouse that I haven't worn yet (it was already too hot for long sleeves at the time); and the other one is this AP sailor cutsew that I did wear a couple of times, but not in a lolita coord.

March was also the month of our first meet of the year. We had a lovely picnic and visited our local botanical garden.

Dublin Trip April 2025 (Part 3)

We finish our visit at Trinity College

The red building, called the Book of Kells Experience, displays the history of the Book and the Library with a more artistic bent to it.

I took several videos, but can only upload one for each post I make, which is a pain, so I included them all in this folder:

The animations on the wall projector were mesmerizing

The boxes stacked against the wall have QR codes that lead to various articles the Library contains, from woodcut illustrations of the Nuremberg Chronicle, to a rare Shakespearean draft that changed history, to a special copy of Terry Pratchett's first novel, all of which can be found on the library website.

We then stepped into a dark room, where a 360 degree short film was playing about the history of the Book of Kells. It was well-made and engaging, and I guess you could say immersive (and I'm not just saying it for the pun) However, they do have advance warnings about potential motion sickness and epilepsy (there is one segment where the announcer says something like, 'but good times didn't last long' before the heavenly-looking scene changes into intense lightning, signaling the start of a rough history, iirc it's safe to watch again when the historical situation improved)

Then we move into another room, this time with a short film about the history of the Long Room Library. This one also impressed me, with an example of what to expect seen above.

We then move into the gift shop, and because of our tiny luggage, we were limited on what we could bring home with us. I did get a nice T-shirt though!

Hard to capture just with photos, but it was very pretty at the college! It was also snowing with blossom petals!

As we strolled through the campus, we saw small glimpses of college life: students chatting, athletes practicing, joggers and cyclists making their way through, familiar stuff like that. It felt kinda inviting.

Once we left Trinity College, we made our way west towards our next destination. But not before we made a quick stop in Butler's Chocolate Café right across the street from the entrance. Mum's friend bought each of us a chocolate egg the size of a chicken's egg for us to eat at a later time. We also had lunch at a Costa's before moving on.

The Molly Malone statue, based on the folk tune. A singer was also there, albertopysamusic)

I had to have a second look, I thought those were real ducklings!

We then had a brief visit inside City Hall.

Creative Lollipop Board Ideas for Small Businesses

When you're running a small business in a busy city like Chennai, standing out isn’t just a strategy—it’s a survival tactic. Whether you're a cozy café tucked into a street corner, a trendy salon, or a new retail store, you need something that catches the eye instantly. That’s where a lollipop board can work wonders.

Simple, stylish, and super effective, a lollipop board is one of the smartest ways to advertise your business in high-footfall areas. At TN Signs, a Chennai-based signage expert, we’ve helped dozens of small businesses craft their identity through custom-designed lollipop boards—and we’re here to share some of our most creative ideas with you!

Why Choose a Lollipop Board for Your Business?

Before we dive into the ideas, let's talk about why a lollipop board is such a game-changer for small businesses.

Visibility: Positioned at eye level or slightly above, it’s the first thing a customer sees before entering your store.

Brand Recall: It becomes a landmark for your business—“Hey, take a right from the shop with the red circle board!”

Compact but Powerful: Unlike huge billboards, it doesn’t need a lot of space but still creates a big impact.

At TN Signs, we specialize in creating customized lollipop boards that not only represent your brand but also communicate your vibe—whether that’s quirky, classy, modern, or traditional.

1. Neon Theme Lollipop Board for Cafes & Juice Bars

Running a juice bar or late-night café? A neon-style lollipop board with bright LED lighting can attract the night crowd like nothing else. Choose bold fonts, a catchy quote (like “Sip Happens!”), and a circular glowing frame for a cool and Insta-worthy appeal.

🎯 Pro Tip from TN Signs: Use waterproof and UV-resistant material so the colors don’t fade under Chennai’s sun or during the monsoons.

2. Minimalist Monochrome Boards for Boutiques

If your store targets premium or minimalist fashion lovers, go with a simple black-and-white lollipop board with elegant serif fonts. This clean design speaks luxury and style, especially if paired with matte finishes and subtle lighting.

Let TN Signs bring your boutique’s aesthetic alive with tailor-made minimalistic signage that enhances your brand value.

3. QR Code-Integrated Lollipop Board

Why just show your name when you can offer interaction? Add a QR code to your lollipop board that links to your Instagram page, menu, or even Google reviews. This modern twist is ideal for salons, food joints, and even co-working spaces.

💡 Smart Idea: Offer a discount when customers scan the code. It turns your signboard into a conversation starter!

4. Rustic Wooden Style for Bakeries & Organic Stores

Want a warm, homely vibe? Go rustic. Use a wooden-textured lollipop board with vintage fonts and a muted color palette. Add a small chalkboard section to write daily specials or messages.

This works beautifully for bakeries, flower shops, or organic food outlets in Chennai’s suburban neighborhoods.

5. Kid-Friendly Designs for Play Schools & Toy Stores

If your business caters to kids or parents, your lollipop board should be colorful, playful, and full of character. Think cartoon cutouts, rainbow palettes, or even character-themed boards.

At TN Signs, we’ve designed boards shaped like animals, toys, and even storybook characters that get kids—and parents—excited before they even step in.

6. Festive Theme Boards for Seasonal Buzz

One of the most effective ways to stay relevant is to update your lollipop board with seasonal themes—Diwali, Pongal, Christmas, or New Year. Use temporary overlays or decorative elements that you can swap out without changing the whole board.

🎉 Chennai’s festive spirit is vibrant—make sure your signage matches that energy!

7. Glow-in-the-Dark or Backlit Boards for Night Visibility

If your store operates in the evenings or is located on a busy street, a backlit lollipop board ensures you're visible even after sunset. Backlit boards give your brand a premium look and help passersby remember your shop easily.

8. Directional Lollipop Boards for Hidden Shops

Got a shop tucked away from the main road? A directional lollipop board placed at the street corner can help lead customers to you. Include a simple arrow and a message like “This Way to the Best Filter Coffee in Town!”

📍 At TN Signs, we help small businesses plan the placement and visibility strategy of their signage—so your board actually drives foot traffic.

Final Thoughts

Your shop might have the best service or product in town, but unless people see you, they won’t walk in. A well-designed lollipop board does more than show your business name—it shows personality, intent, and creativity.

At TN Signs, we don’t just make signboards. We craft attention-grabbing branding tools tailored to your business and your audience. Being a Chennai-based signage company, we understand the city’s vibe, weather, and street culture better than anyone.

So, if you’re ready to take your small business visibility to the next level, let us help you design a unique, impactful lollipop board that makes heads turn.

Transform Your Customer Experience with an NFC Google Review Card

In today’s digital economy, building a strong online reputation is essential for any business. Whether you're running a café, a salon, a retail shop, or a local service, your success depends not only on what you offer but also on how customers perceive you online. One of the most effective ways to build trust and improve visibility is through Google reviews—and the easiest way to get more of them is with an NFC Google review card.

This innovative tool helps businesses like yours collect more reviews by eliminating the friction in the process. A simple tap from a smartphone instantly takes customers to your Google review page, where they can leave feedback in seconds. With a sleek, professional, and smart approach, the NFC Google review card is revolutionizing the way businesses connect with customers after a transaction.

What Is an NFC Google Review Card?

An NFC Google review card is a physical card embedded with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. When tapped by a smartphone, the card automatically opens your business’s Google review page in the browser—no typing, no searching, and no QR code scanning.

This card makes the review process fast, easy, and intuitive for customers, increasing the chances that they’ll leave a positive review immediately after a good experience.

Why Google Reviews Matter More Than Ever

Google reviews have become the digital word-of-mouth for today’s businesses. They influence purchasing decisions, shape perceptions, and are a major factor in how high you appear in local search results.

Here’s how Google reviews impact your business:

Increase local SEO rankings

Establish trust and credibility

Encourage new customers to try your business

Influence purchasing decisions

Enhance brand reputation and loyalty

However, even the happiest customers often forget to leave a review unless prompted—and that’s where the NFC Google review card becomes a game-changer

The Problem: Why Aren’t You Getting More Google Reviews?

Most businesses struggle to collect enough reviews. It’s not because customers don’t want to share their experience—it’s because the process can be time-consuming and inconvenient.

Traditionally, a customer would need to:

Search your business on Google

Navigate to the reviews section

Sign in to their account

Write and submit a review

That’s a lot of steps. The more friction in the process, the less likely the customer is to follow through. An NFC Google review card solves this problem instantly.

The Solution: How an NFC Google Review Card Works

Using an NFC Google review card is incredibly simple—for both the business and the customer.

Here’s how it works:

The card is programmed with a link to your Google review page.

You hand the card to the customer or place it at checkout.

The customer taps their phone (NFC-enabled, like most modern smartphones) on the card.

Their phone instantly opens your review page, ready for feedback.

No typing. No searching. Just tap and review.

Who Can Benefit from an NFC Google Review Card?

Virtually any business that relies on customer feedback can benefit. This includes:

Restaurants and cafes

Barbershops and salons

Fitness studios and personal trainers

Retail stores

Dentists and healthcare professionals

Real estate agents and service providers

By making it easier for customers to leave a review, you're increasing the volume and frequency of feedback—boosting your online credibility and helping new customers discover your business.

Benefits of Using an NFC Google Review Card

1. Increase Review Volume

By reducing the effort required to leave a review, customers are more likely to follow through.

2. Improve Search Rankings

More positive reviews boost your position in Google’s local search, helping more people find your business.

3. Build Customer Trust

A high rating and frequent reviews show potential customers that you're reliable and valued.

4. Stand Out from Competitors

While many businesses still struggle to collect reviews, your use of modern NFC technology gives you an edge.

5. Enhance the Customer Experience

The act of asking for a review in a seamless, tech-savvy way leaves a strong final impression.

How to Get Your NFC Google Review Card

Setting up your NFC Google review card is quick and easy:

Choose your design – Add your logo and brand colors for a professional appearance.

Program your link – Embed your Google review URL onto the NFC chip.

Distribute and use – Hand the card to happy customers, place it at checkout, or have staff present it after service.

You’ll start seeing results as more and more satisfied customers leave their feedback.

Final Thoughts: Small Card, Big Results

In a world where online reputation can make or break a business, finding new ways to encourage positive reviews is essential. The NFC Google review card offers a smart, simple, and effective solution. It’s a one-time investment that pays off every time a customer taps and leaves a five-star review.

Ready to take your customer feedback game to the next level? Embrace modern technology, streamline the review process, and watch your business grow—one tap at a time.

📍 The Future of Hospitality Tech: 7 Trends Shaping 2025 Restaurants

Running a successful restaurant in 2025 is about more than just great food. It’s about operational precision, speed, and smart systems that help you serve better and grow faster.

We work with thousands of restaurants, cafés, and takeaways across the UK and UAE. And one thing is clear: hospitality tech is no longer optional — it’s essential.

Here are 7 key trends redefining how restaurants thrive in today’s fast-moving market:

— 🍔 1. Self-Ordering Kiosks Are Now the Norm

They used to be a “big brand” thing. Not anymore.

Independent restaurants are embracing kiosks to:

Cut down queues

Reduce order errors

Boost upselling (automatically!)

Serve tech-savvy guests faster

💡 Plus: Kiosks help you run lean with smaller teams and more consistency.

— 🔗 2. Tech Stacks Are Getting Unified

Still running separate tools for dine-in, delivery, and stock? That’s old-school.

Modern EPOS systems consolidate everything:

Orders (online + in-store)

Inventory & stock

Staff scheduling

Reporting & insights

Loyalty & promotions

💡 The result? Less juggling, more focus.

— 📊 3. Data Replaces Guesswork

Top-performing restaurants aren’t relying on gut instinct — they’re digging into real-time data.

With the right EPOS, you can track:
