Thanks, and tbh it's the same for you since we share quite the amount of favs (and there are many shows I haven't seen from your list that I need to).
I can't say I played that many of video games considering the amount of games there are but yeah I often play games too, I like JRPGs the most I would say

So, a few days after I sent you the URL of my Twitter account, Brazil got involved in some disputes with the social network and it ended up being banned in the country, so I’m literally unable to access Twitter while in Brazil. The art for my avatars was transferred to my banner here on MAL, along with some other projects. I might migrate my account to Instagram as soon as I verify if the native audience there can transition between platforms like YouTube or Twitch. So far, based on what I’ve seen, Instagram doesn’t seem to be the best social network for promotion. I’ll analyze other social networks and create one or two in a maximum of one to two semesters before actually launching. I think if I create another social account now, the chances of running out of content are quite high. I don’t expect to start with a live audience of 100 or more, but I think having at least 10 people simultaneously could be a promising start.
About the avatars, I feel that both give the impression of being the same character, just drawn in different styles. The color palette is the same for both, but within my limitations, the black and yellow combination is more prominent in the first model. However, if you look closely, you’ll see that the eyes of the second model are also yellow. I remember the first one was compared to the artistic style of Soul Eater. Speaking of personality, I feel that the character I portray is turning out to be more chaotic and energetic than I imagined. The second model was created to fit a possibly less talkative personality, which is why he has a more serious look. I believe that, from what I’ve felt so far, I will end up using the first model, I wonder if my voice would be able to give that energetic feeling; it’s more characteristic, and I feel it has a greater "thumbnail potential" than the second, just like you commented, it has a stronger visual appeal.
Regarding the artworks, I agree with your suggestions. I felt that in the photos, the lines looked a bit weak; the photos were taken with natural light and with my old phone that didn’t have a very good camera. I’m also a bit apprehensive about outlining the drawing with a pen due to the chance of smudging it or creating a crooked line that can’t be erased. But the suggestions you gave have crossed my mind. Anyway, thank you for highlighting this; having a second opinion is important.
I appreciate your permission to use your drawing. Of course, I would ask for your permission, as the original artist, I would never feel comfortable just taking someone else’s work without asking. Thank you for being willing to make changes to the art, but at the moment, it won’t be necessary, and I wouldn’t feel comfortable asking for changes while I know how busy you are.
Digital artists are more complicated than I expected, but when I had access to my Twitter, I developed some dialogue lines that would politely dismiss people right away. I was impressed by how "low" they are willing to go on prices to get work, even though the lower values could still be considered expensive, especially when translating dollars to BRL.

During this period, I structured all the rules for the spiritual aspects of my story, categorizing humans and spirits into different groups. Duality became a recurring theme throughout the narrative, and the story’s messages have already been defined. Everything will be explained in the second volume, but I’m unsure how deeply the spirits’ backstories will be developed due to certain elements of how spirits function in this universe. However, it’s possible that some ideas will be addressed. I can’t focus on developing an antagonist character for just one or two chapters and neglect the main cast's stories. Vulnerability will be well explored through Selena and Aki, the protagonists of the work. While Aki serves as a counterpoint to Selena and has a much more assertive personality, his backstory has the potential to be quite touching if I can guide the narrative effectively. The duo of protagonists is an excellent example of duality on various levels: the first volume is entirely about Selena and the "ordinary world," while Aki takes the reins in the second volume, introducing the entire "fantastical world." Selena is a woman struggling with her grief for not having said goodbye to her friend in the ideal way, while Aki is a boy who processed the information of his loss before it happened and was able to say goodbye to his sister in an ideal manner. His story follows a slightly similar trajectory to the "Mother's Rosario" arc in Sword Art Online, not that I’m using SAO as inspiration, but I think the tone of the story resembles what we’re dealing with here; he remembers his sister with a smile rather than sadness.
Regarding the tetrapharmakos, I’m unsure if I can incorporate it naturally into the story. I also prefer not to risk overextending myself by writing an overly ambitious thematic story right off the bat. "Blue Moon" is set to conclude its narrative in four volumes (or about 20 chapters). I don’t dismiss the possibility of flirting with the idea of tetrapharmakos, but so far, I haven’t found a space to add it to the story. It has crossed my mind that the ideal format for "Blue Moon" might be a visual novel instead of a light novel. The route system of visual novels would be very useful for exploring different themes and characters without making the story too dense, one route for each of the main characters, delving into each of them is indeed a tempting idea. The soundtrack and visuals would also enhance immersion, but that's totally beyond my reach at the moment. So, I’ll narrate the light novel in a way that sufficiently covers each character, as if all the routes were intertwined, and in the future, if I get the chance, I would make a visual novel for the story. I also added the cover for volume 2 to my profile. So far, I’ve created the covers for 3 out of the 4 volumes of the story. I also added the cover for 'The Moonlight Dancer,' another work that is much closer to my comfort zone and might even be in the same universe as The Blue Moon. However, 'The Moonlight Dancer' currently only has a basic synopsis; I’m working on the cast at the moment. I hope to be able to tell you more about this story one day.
The titles serve as a personal guide for myself to avoid straying off course or getting lost in the narrative. Naming the chapters in advance was a choice that I really liked, although chapter 2, "Feeling of Insecurity," ended up being so long that I decided to split it into two chapters. Now instead of four chapters, we will have five. Some small details in chapter 1 were added, and others altered to maintain greater consistency throughout the narrative and to align better with the story's conclusion. Overall, the major changes included a head injury for Selena, the fact that she lost her phone in the accident, and the passage before the first chapter, "That night, I didn’t know that, for the last time, I was saved by him," is no longer there. The chapter "Split Vision" is the end of the first volume and is indeed associated with heterochromia; I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a climax, but it is definitely the turning point of the work. However, I don’t consider it a climax since it’s the result of a situation that escalates throughout the first volume, and when it occurs, it feels natural, as if it was something we always knew was coming and were just waiting for it to happen. The theme of trying to explain the inexplicable is more present in the second and third chapters, and Selena’s insecurity will stand out more as well, although the expectation is that her insecurity will become much more pronounced in chapter 4, "Quietude," when she leaves the hospital and returns home, where she can be alone. The bathroom scene was interpreted by my cousin as a panic attack, which was intentional; the supernatural aspects gradually escalate and become increasingly inexplicable. If the scene felt frantic and somewhat disoriented, that was by design, the character was in a panic, so her narrative became more frantic.
Regarding the rhythm of the work, my concern is about coming off as verbose or convoluted. In a story about spirits, the entire first volume contains only one proper appearance at the very end of the first volume. I don’t want it to feel like I’m just stalling to hold off an event.
The text preceding the first chapter is still there; I think it effectively represents the thoughts some people have about the significance of their problems on a larger scale, rather than a more "selfish" view of life. It emphasizes that problems don’t have a single dimension but rather an individual importance for each of us. It doesn’t matter if my problem seems small to others, if someone has faced it and suffered less than I have, or that there are people in much worse situations; that doesn’t change the fact that something is hurting me, and we can’t simply ignore it. Emotional and rational responses don’t always align. Although this passage exists, I’ve questioned more than once whether the situation leading to Haru’s suicide would be plausible enough for someone to make such a decision, and how I can escalate the situation without seeming simplistic or melodramatic. Since his story will only be hinted at in the first volume, the second volume focuses on Aki and Natsume, and the third on Yuki and Fubuki. I think I can hold back Haru’s story until the final volume, allowing me to find a plausible reason for his choice, or maybe I won’t make it 100% clear what happened; after all, he’s no longer alive to narrate his story. Since the narrative is from Selena's perspective, what she doesn’t know, the reader also doesn’t know, although phrasing it this way might seem like I’m just avoiding the elephant in the room. Regarding Selena’s past, we have a much clearer view of her days, though it’s just a brief glimpse.

Don’t worry about the delay in responses; I understand how college and personal life can pile up and overwhelm our minds. Remember to take care of your physical and mental health too! I decided to send one chapter at a time instead of sending them as soon as they’re ready to avoid overwhelming you with texts. This week, I’ll translate chapter 2 and send it to you via DM. Again, don’t worry about the delay in responses; I actually took the month of September to focus on professional and artistic aspects in real life. Additionally, I can’t write too much without breaks due to an issue in my left forearm. It’s not quite tendinitis, but maybe some inflammation. In any case, my "hiatus" wasn’t because of you, so don’t worry! I appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to pay attention to my projects. I’m glad to hear from you after so long. Wishing you a great week and good luck with your college activities!

Not telling you to remove it, but I looked at that same stack and it has the fifth Garden of Sinners movie. I haven't seen it so I won't say anything about whether it fits the stack or not on its own, but to get to it you would need to watch the third movie, which starts off with a very graphic rape scene. Maybe put a warning?

It was pretty close to the beginning. One of the ads with Pompo's favourite actress.

Eiga Daisuki Pompo-san has no place in your "No Sex Jokes or Ecchi [Part 2]" stack. It has two fairly provocative scenes.

Seeing that you like anime probably animated movies are the best recommendations I can give you. The Wind Rises from Studio Ghibli is one of my favorites . The Prince of Egypt, Klaus and The 2 Patlabor movies are all pretty good too and if you prefer dramas Whiplash and The Shawshank Redemption are some of my favorite movies ever.

Lately I been watching a lot of musicals so it´s been my favorite genre to watch recently.

I would like to watch all those show I want but I don´t have the drive.

Lately gaming has been where I spent most of time but I´m also trying to enter more into movie watching.
What about you?

I just haven´t played The Silver Case from those but someday I will probably try it even if I don´t like Suda51 games all that much.
Psychonauts has also been in my radar for sometime too.
Don´t worry about the lack of content I appreciate the recommendations nonetheless.

I saw you that you finished Xenoblade 2 , so if you like Jrpgs I always recommend the Trails series because of it being my favorite piece of fiction ever made.
You should probably wait for the remake of the 1st game now that it was announced for next year.
It´s a long series so I understand if it´s to much to play. For other genres I would recommend Silent Hill 1-3 if you like survival horror and , if you like shooters Titanfall 2 and Ultrakill are pretty good in my opinion.
If you have patience for Visual Novels I would also recommend The House in Fata Morgana.
Do you have some recommendations too?

Thank you for going through the trouble of recommending so many things. I will add some of them to my list but as my interest in the medium has been dwindling lately I don´t know for sure if I will watch them.
For recommendations, Mushishi is a great show that would probably fit your tastes. I don´t know if you like comedies but Dungeon Meshi is in my opinion one of the best series in the last couple of years.
If you don´t have a problem with long Mangas i think Usogui, Kingdom and GTO are all fantastic. Sorry for any grammatical errors.

No problem.
You also have pretty good taste.
Do you have any series or manga you would recommend me to experience?

I keep the old projects close, especially those I have as goals and not just personal projects. Over the last few days, I created a Twitter account for my Vtuber to see how the social network works and also so I could show you the two models I’ve made so far. I also posted some of my art there (so the Vtuber and Instagram projects have kind of merged into one, at least for now). I’m still learning how to use it as a content creator and gauge the audience reach there. I’ll attach my account, and if you don’t have Twitter, I can now share the URLs of the images. What I really didn’t like was the number of artists who kept messaging me incessantly trying to sell their art, both for models and promotional images. I didn’t expect that, honestly, I think pursuing a potential client is a terrible marketing strategy. It ends up pushing people away rather than attracting them. If your art is good, someone will eventually come for it, that’s at least what I believe. Of course I haven't forgotten about your Instagram, I'll probably follow you with my IRL account to support you
Here: https://x.com/Guitarrist_Vt. Also, do you mind if I post that image you made as a sketch of my character? Just making sure I have content to post besides fanarts, if you don't want that that's okay too, just analyzing the possibilities

Don’t worry about the protagonist’s gender, at the time I sent that excerpt, she didn’t even have a defined gender. Since the story is narrated in the first person, I even considered the possibility of her being a ghost character (without a name or gender), but that would complicate the narrative, and self-insert characters are generally not well-regarded, and I completely understand why.

Regarding the supernatural elements, they were initially intended to be a very simple concept (people who have passed away and some negative factor keeps them bound to our plane), but this concept started to branch out more and more as various possibilities came to mind. At the moment I’m writing this, I must have created 3 or 4 branches of this concept, some of which are extremely heavy and others are somewhat comforting (not all spirits will be associated with something bad). I can’t help but flirt with the fae, even if briefly haha.
The duality is present at all times. As it is a gray story, I feel like it’s gradually becoming something denser than I initially planned. Perhaps I will eventually discuss the concept of tetrapharmakon (the four remedies for the soul according to Epicurus), but of course, I won’t forget that conceptually, my story is a psychological horror and I need to be careful with the themes addressed in it.
Your analysis fits perfectly with the concept of the story. The death of a person definitely affects those close to them, and in moments of despair, sometimes we cannot see those around us due to the overwhelming darkness. I think I can say that sometimes just hearing the other person makes a significant difference. In this sense, the scene with the echidna in Re:zero always touches me and fits perfectly with this theme. Maybe I’ll use the soundtrack of that scene to inspire me to write similar moments.

Since this story was started in the heat of the moment and its direction has literally not been written yet, the characters are gradually appearing, concepts are maturing, and the story is slowly becoming something more complex than I initially imagined. I believe the moments of comfort that will come in contrast to the moments of tension will help with the narrative’s pacing. The first chapter is already complete, and I have the titles for the next three to keep me focused on the direction of the narrative. I think increasing the number of incidents before the supernatural concept is truly realized could be a nice build-up and generate anticipation for the first interaction with the supernatural in its presence. Writing a story this way isn’t ideal, but it is indeed a very interesting experience. The idea matures as the story is written. What’s the ending? Not even I know, so it’s unpredictable even for me. But I really don’t see myself writing something too lengthy; I don’t think it would go beyond 120 pages, for example. I remember that Frankenstein was quite short and still very well done. Frankenstein is also printed on smaller paper, I did the calculation and if it were printed on a normal sheet, the book would have 66 pages, of course I'm not comparing my writing level with Mary Shelley's writing, just highlighting the size from the book

I will try to use Chat GPT to translate the text, I could translate it myself, but at the moment the text is too big and is constantly receiving updates, so I would rather just review the translated text to make sure this error doesn't happen again so evidently. I will definitely remember the offer to show my text to your mother, I think I can wait until chapter 4 is written, I think the combination of the first four chapters would serve as the first volume of the story, I believe it would be an interesting point for present the text for analysis. Regarding the transition, I softened the transition, so I believe it may be subtler now. The protagonist's traumatic incident is involved with another character who has already passed away, he will be presented in flashbacks, probably with one or more chapters dedicated to him, but his fate and how it influences the current time of the story, will be reserved for the straight line. end, so emotional pain will be present in the traumatic event, I also changed the gender of the character in question because it is a problem that although it affects both genders, seems to have greater pressure on men. Now that the chapter has been completed and I already have a vision of what is to come, I will add and correct some things and I will send the first revised chapter privately, very soon I will send you the text.

Don't worry about the delay in responding, I understand how college can be exhausting and hectic, anyway, I appreciate the support you're providing!

Hey there! How have you been?
Well I know I tend to be brief but I have been doing pretty good here.

You're welcome

They really hit on something with "we got a bunch of cool robots", that's for sure! Have a great day and thanks again :)
