Firstly, I've always loved fashion but when it came to more alt looks, I was always nervous. Then I found cyber.grl! Her channel is mostly focused on decora fashion, but she also talks about other j-fashion. Her joy and positivity stuck with me, I want to bring that same energy in 2025!
My general art inspiration has been GinjaNinjaOwO. Seeing the Apollo arc plus the PRISM overhaul really helped me feel less stuck. I had gotten really in my head about what I was (and wasn't) creating. Such an honest look into what brought them joy and their commitment to that, helped me a lot.
A song that inspired me was Otomodachi by Phantom Siita. By the end of the first day I'd found this song, I had played it ~25 times with at 15 of those being in a row. The song is about 5 friends, or so they think. Secretly one of them is a traitor. Plus the group has yet to release a bad song!
A book that inspired me was Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. This book uses facts that often bring dread such as that you can't do everything to actually motivate you. It tells you how those facts can make life amazing and bring meaning. This helped me recontextualize time limits.
Trolls 3 was unexpected: I watched it on a whim after liking a Mount Rageous cover. I watched for the villains (their designs and movement are cool) and got good writing, an imaginative world, and impressive animation. (Making characters with big hair seems fun until you mess with hair physics)
Process of Elimination and Master Detective Archives: Both are newbie works with superpowered master detectives to hunt a serial killer. PoE is crazy because it incorporates strategy gameplay outside of a fighting context. MDA was more of what I want from a kodaka game and the dungeons are great.
