Hii chooms remember at the end credit scene especially in Goro takemura line when you kept him alive at the certain part of the game and did any other ending than the Devil ending?

Fran Thoughts II
I don't know what I am relly feeling right now. So many mixed emotions. Thoughts are very loud on my head.
I'm having second thoughts to myself as an art student and including my personal life.
I am thinking of my worth as an art student, am I really an artist? Is there a future for an artist like me? The future is uncertain.
I just recently became a serious artist just when I hit senior high because I choose Arts & Design track. It made me awaken my passion not only on the visual arts but also on performing arts. So many memories and two years felt like a bliss despite that one narcissist, manipulative and popular adviser back on the last year of senior class.
Fast forward to college I choose my program, painting program because it felt like cloest to my feeling and beacuse my parents want me to be in that college university. Originally I wanted to be multimedia sutdent welp circumstances changed. I love the school, only problem is the education system, and its capitalism.
I don't get jealous of my classmates' god like art skills, infact I'm very proud of them. I may or may not blaming a little bit of my former school because they only thought to us performing arts and yet they advertise it as Visual Arts track and now I am a bit disavantage. I just really hate myself because I am not really that brilliant and amazing at arts to the point I'm starting to doubt myself as an artist. I'm practicing, as artists should, I don't know anymore but I'm starting to lose myself. I'm not sure of myself anymore and what will happen to me in the future...
Welp just keeping swimming and hope for the best especially in two more years, claiming that bachelor's art degree....
Fran Thoughts 1
I know this isn't healthy to let it out here but better something than nothing-
Some people thought being art student is easy but it is not, between juggling to general education subjects and doing major art subjects makes the time difficulty especially this online class.
Not only that you missed and craved the interaction between your peers especially while your doing artworks with them. Even if the art profs not teaching *ehem* just really giving projects to you. Or that after school fatigue yet became gone atleast for awhile because hanging out despite getting four hours of sleep is worth it.
Now on online class it's only not much interaction between classmates because we had many things to do not only in school but many personal things happening at home. It felt like just passing time doing plates (projects) and doing requirements of school yet felt like there was no reward for it.
Yet despite the negative feelings, we still strive to be if not best do better for ourselves.
Depression is a funny thing.
Mental illness of all sorts is a funny thing. Pops up in all sorts of ways, it likes to when you don’t need it around especially.
I try to write up art tips for people that are less about Art with a capitol “A” and more about the struggles that crop up within it. Within ourselves.
A great deal of creatives deal with depression, or with mental illness in general. Anxiety, mood disorders, executive function disorders; it’s alluded to constantly in all sorts of platitudes, to the point that people joke about it. But it’s real. Creatives generally struggle because of the nature of creating. It’s always taxing even when it’s fun, and it can be hard when you feel the constant need to make things, and even worse when you burn out.
I think it’s important to emphasize that it’s not uncommon to have dips. Dips in mood, dips in perceived artistic skill, dips in interest.
These are ok. It’s apart of growth, and sometimes it’s unavoidable. Usually it’s inconvenient.
Dips are natural. You’re not bad at art. You’re not losing your ability to be creative. You are not stupid, you’re not unwanted, you’re not alone.
Dips can be a sign that we need a break. They can be a sign that we need a challenge. They can be a sign that we need to talk to someone and work on ourselves. They’re never permanent.
I know I personally struggle with feeling like I’m just not a creative person. I beat myself up because I can’t meet personal deadlines, or I lose engagement with personal projects quickly.
None of that means I’m a bad artist. It means I have to find frameworks that work for me.
What do you do without people asking you to? What is the work you do just because it feels good to be alive when you’re doing it?
Maybe it’s working with others? Talking with people? Organizing? Growing things? Relentlessly polishing? Making people laugh? Watching birds?
It can be a hard question to answer when you’re depressed or having an episode. Hold the question with you though. There are usually moments in the day where the heavy is lighter, and note when that is. Note why that is.
Being able to incorporate those underlying interests will help you learn the right path.
For me, it’s helping people. It’s not a cure-all for my problems, but it helps me manage my goals and expectations. If any one person gains something from relating with my work or words, that’s a win. They are my win.
I know this is meandering and open ended, but I want to relate that having a dip in interest, art, or emotional health is natural. It’s not pleasant, but it’ll pass. Stop for a moment and think about what you’re needing.
Honestly if you’re having trouble figuring it out, DM me and we can chat about it. I can’t promise answers, but I can hear you out. Sometimes framing your thoughts sets the answer out in front of you.
Be kind to yourselves. I know you’ll make it.

Hallooo to everyone who been following this blog, I might share/write some arts and writings when there is time hopefully it will not get too tangled as my university will start online classes. Goodluck to me because I'm an arts student specifically painting, pray for my soul! I'm a bit behind due to my uni still processing my account huhu
Goodluck to everyone who are also gonna do online classes or doing anything else in this time of pandemic. Hope you all stay well even (barely) if there is alot chaotic sh*t and plenty of problems in real life. We will all get through this.. Stay safe everyone!
Hello! I hope you are doing alright while the world around us falls. I have a question for you. How do you find inspiration to write? I am going through a horrible writers block and I have NO inspiration whatsoever.
So, I know the feeling. For me, writing is kind of therapy. (Even if what I’m writing about has nothing to do with what I’m feeling. It takes the feelings and converts them into something else.) So if you don’t have unresolved feelings, or if you’ve shut them down because the world is a shit show, it can be harder to write.
Inspiration is nice, but if you just wait for inspiration to strike, you might be waiting for a very long time. Some days I don’t feel it, I just sit down and saying, “I have to write this scene, and I can come back and edit it later, once I’ve laid the bones.” Sometimes after a rough start, things flow. Sometimes I can get out a few hundred words, but I know it isn’t working, so I do something else. (Reading books from a genre other than what I am writing is super helpful for me to recharge.)
Outlining can help. Just write a few lines about what the scene needs to accomplish and what happens. You probably know your process better than I can guess.
Also, I think a lot about what I plan to write while I’m doing other things, such as running, driving, showering, working, falling asleep. I low-key have a process going in the background cycling through ideas. They aren’t all good. They aren’t necessarily focused. But I find that if I’ve been kind of brainstorming (or letting idle thoughts trail off into my subconscious), I have an easier time later on when I sit down to write. Sometimes I just run the outline through my head.
Example: “Oh yeah, that needs to happen but it would be boring just to have a meeting. Oh, and why would that character be there? I can swap them out or I need a better excuse. What are they eating? Does it matter? Hmm, I’m hungry...”
It took me years to figure out my process, and it’s worth it to try other things, but this is what works for me. Hope it helps!
I have never felt so fucking enraged as when I saw a cop in a camouflaged uniform holding a pride flag crunched up.
To everyone, 20 people have been illegally arrested by the police duringba Pride Protest that also fronted #JunkTerrorBill and other ongoing issues in the Philippines.
The Terror Bill has NOT been signed yet AND THEY'RE ALREADY ABUSING POWER.
FREE PRIDE 20! JUNK TERROR BILL !!
While not as wildly known as Stonewall, Pride Revolution 1994 or Stonewall Manila is the first ever Pride March in Asia and the Philippines. It happened in June 26, 1994, exactly 26 years from now.
On this historic date, Queer Filipinos decided it was high time to protest against the many injustices against the Filipinos. While of course, the forefront advocacies of the Filipinos are present like Marriage and Gender Equality. More timely issues are also included in the protest of these queer Filipinos are #FreeMassTesting, #JunkTerrorBill, and #NoToJeepneyPhaseOut. It had been a peaceful protests, with social distancing practices… Until the police arrived, that is.
On this same day when Queer Filipinos recall an important step taken by those who fought for equality before us, the police captured over 20 Filipinos in the Pride Protest saying that they have allegedly violated quarantine protocols but when asked to state which violations, the police could not answer. They also took their car keys and hijacked the protesters’ vehicles. They are saying a protester attacked the police by spraying something on one of their faces but the video footage of the whole event shows otherwise. (Links provided in reblog as tumblr messes up post visibility when they include links)
This has been a stark contrast to high-profile individuals who are on the same side as the current administration who violated quarantine protocols. The police did not come knocking on their doorsteps and were even provided leeway by the administration, calling their actions “A honest mistake”, “not a party but a mañanita” and “tempering the rigor of the law with compassion”. (These include a covid-positve senator who went strolling in a hospital, not because he was sick, but because he insisted on being there for his pregnant wife; the deputy OOWA Administrator who stole pictures of private companies providing PPEs and said it was from the Philippine Government and also gathered over 300 Filipinos for an event and the chief of police who had a birthday party amidst the quarantine.)
The Philippine Executive Branch keep amassing debt that has now 8.6 Trillion Pesos (172B USD) but continue to say we lack the funds to perform mass testing. Instead of aiding the medical sector, the executive branch opted for a militaristic approach that has not only harmed but also took the lives of Filipinos. The lack of competence of the executive has led to the rise of dissenters. Instead of heading the calls of the Filipinos to focus and help the medical sector (in its iconic #SolusyongMedikalHindiAksyongMilitar which translates to Medical Solutions Not Militant Actions) red-tagging of dissenters as “terrorist” had become the norm.
To further grasp the control of the Filipinos, the Terror Bill was concocted by the Philippine Legislative, a bill that allowed the Police and the Executive branch to arrest people “under suspicion of being a terrorist” which frankly, allows the police more power with red-tagging peaceful dissenters as dangerous terrorists.
To make matters worse, they have started the Jeepney Phaseout amidst the pandemic and the rampant laying off of workers. Now, Filipino Jeepney drivers are forced out of work amidst the pandemic. In relation, the Filipinos who favored Jeepneys, as they are a cheaper alternative to other public transports, are now forced to walk home instead because of the current public transport system cannot support the number of Filipino workers.

They are not letting us speak. No where in the quarantine law (Bayanihan to Heal as One) does it state that protests are banned.

This musical slaps you with reality. One hour in, I'm already in tears.
Ang Huling El Bimbo Musical
"Lift your head, baby, dont be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way"
Baby Yoda and Pedro Pascal, longer cut behind the scenes.
(Audio for Pedro Pascal talking head)
The three incredible men that make up The Mandalorian
Pedro Pascal and Jon Favreau tell the story of Pedro injuring himself on the set of The Mandalorian (walking out of the makeup trailer).
I loved the opportunity to make him as human and as accessible as possible which is strange to say because it’s impossible to get to him because he’s covered in armor from head to toe.
And yet the idea is that he is relatable, we are all kinda covered in our own armor and terrified of taking that armor off and that’s the thing that crosses him over into a character that we all really wanna follow.
Pedro Pascal about the Mandalorian
[SPOILER ALERT]
Can I just say I love the subtleness of the musical and how it just tells its message through the storytelling???
It touches a whole lot on the Drug War that the current administration is waging against the poor Filipinos who are more victims than the main perpetrators themselves. The end of AHEB which only shows Joy's death and the subsequent lamentation of her family and old friends as the perpetrator who now holds a political position as a councilor goes scot-free is saddening but feels true with what happens in the Philippines. The people who are at the bottom chain are caught or killed while the ones running things get to sit in their high chair.
I also love how the other three main characters Eman, AJ and Hector represent the three divisions of the Filipino middle class and their actions towards the injustices and aggression Joy, who represents the poor and oppressed, faces tell a lot about their positions and views. When none of them could save Joy from being raped, their actions tell a lot about their position. Their positions in the future also dictates where they came from.
Emman who seems to be part of the lower middle class and is also an activist shouts the hospital, focusing more on comfort although might not do much is the kindest of the choices. Going to the hospital would be a direct action to help Joy who is in distraught atm cope. It's also important to see that although Eman got a government post like he dreamed (to change the system), it's the system that changed him instead. With someone from a poor background and no backing, he works hard everyday and is rarely home because he has to "prove" his worth. His career is banking on how hard he works and he forgets that the reason he dreamed of this in the first place was to help advocate for better change in the Philippines and take care of his family with his wife/sweetheart.
AJ who is at the very middle of the middle class chooses the police instead, relying more on the legal system that probably would seem like a fair judge ( probably to imply his trust on the system who perhaps would be fair to him but unjust to others) and his focus on the social aspect of it, aka how other people would perceive what happened. The middlest middle class whose position on the pyramid is dependent on how others perceive you hits too hard for AJ who becomes a successful businessman. He gets a wife, knowing full well that she would simply be a decoration for him to keep appearances, as he is in fact gay. AJ might know some people here and there but to primarily keep his connections, he has to look the part and in exchange for that, he hurts his wife and continues to hide who he truly is.
And God, Hector, this fucking bastard, I hate him but he represents the Upper Middle Class rhetoric so well. Hector tells everyone to keep quiet, to not do anything, overglorifying Joy's trauma and hardship as her being strong. And that speaks so much about how the upper middle class operates, how it's the upper middle class who rarely if ever listens, because although they might not be as powerful as the Filipino Oligarchs, they are pretty much the people living the "Fiipino Dream" and to keep their position, the upper middle class turns a blind eye to the suffering of the Filipino poor. Hector who had always lived comfortably chose to protect his own comfort even in the face of grave injustice. Hector makes it in life too. He's got the resources and the connections, just enough to get him a famous name as a tv director but being in the upper middle class means you still have to bow your head to those with power, to the great oligarchs who control how things go. You see Hector who is "a famous director", under the orders 'from above' has to make his series about ratings than the story itself. He has to accept people with connections into the movie because despite his position that many Filipinos dream about, he isn't exactly the omnipotent hand that can control everything.
God this musical feels so real. The characters too also just represent so much of the struggles of Filipinos, of the lapses in our society and how it continues to harm us and those around us. Please watch The Huling El Bimbo.
So I watched the first episode of Disney’s docuseries on the filming of The Mandalorian, and the first episode focuses on the directors behind it and just. You guys. I had no idea just how much of a relatable NERD Dave Filoni was.
Seriously, he tells the story of how he met George Lucas and started working on TCW (sorry if this is a common knowledge story and I just never heard it) and oh my gosh it is absolutely adorable and also the biggest nerd mood???
He:
Was openly snarky and dismissive with the person who first called to offer him the LF job while he was working for Nickelodeon because he thought it was a prank call from the guys on the Spongebob crew making fun of him for being a massive Star Wars nerd
Flailed excitedly about the Jedi costume he was making at home
Spent his entire first meeting with George believing he wasn’t gonna get the job and was just thinking about how much this was gonna boost his future nerd cred, so the next time he got into a debate with another Star Wars fan he could back his opinions up with, “well I met George Lucas.”
The rest of his story was super sweet and all the other directors were lovely too and agh, we’re so lucky to have him!
(hope my art is not too terrible for an arts student..)
I may or may not did study at this papi....
I may or not become part in the fandom and that is all thanks to The Mandalorian ahii
I know it stress and all in this point of time, stay strong everyone and stay safe peeps!
this 'culture' of getting emotionally attached to famous people often makes me uncomfortable, i'm not gonna lie. i'm not judging anyone but myself when i say that. when at the end of a day watching a movie/tv show with my favorite actor or actress (or simply seeing a photo of them) is the only thing that makes me smile.. i find it sad. but then i remind myself that this is a weird world we live in and we all cope in different ways and storytelling (movies, books, tv shows, writing etc) as always been mine. i started watching the mandalorian several months ago and i'm going to be honest i watched it because i was bored. i've seen all the star wars movies and i liked them but i wasn't really invested until i met din djarin. this show really opened a door for me. not only did it allow me to find a universe made for me. but it also reintroduced me to pedro pascal. an actor that my younger self unfairly overlooked. but now i'm all grown up (kinda) and i'm able to see how talented he is. he brings so much authenticity to his characters and never shy away from a challenge. between oberyn, javier and din you can't deny his impact on pop culture. but what truly makes him someone special for me is his heart. in this business people are usually saying shit you want to hear to sell their movies and they move on. they feel like unreachable entities and it left us with a cold feeling. which is not the case with pedro. not only does he interacts with us (as best as he can) but he also make sure to make his voice heard. and also the voices of people who aren't heard. he is someone who feels like you could grab a coffee and have a chat with i deeply love this about him. today is his birthday and i guess this was my way of wishing him the best fucking birthday possible. i hope he'll spend it surrounded by his loved one and cakes. i'll probably drink a cocktail in his honor (look at me finding excuses).
happy birthday pedro thank you for being my lifeline when i needed it the most. you opened my eyes to so many things. and i'm grateful.
