I was half-expecting Steve to challenge Crystal to a Highlander-style duel to the death, but this is fine too, I guess. |

Nah, I'd have to challenge Stevothehuman to a duel first, and he'd probably kick my ass |

Ah, okay, that explains it. They are also Steve. But no, a meeting of Steves isn't really a Highlander moment. We're more like a collective hive-mind, if previous experiences have taught me anything. |

Hi there! Well, I have two sets, really. I started with the figmas of Madoka Magica characters, and eventually got ahold of all of them. Currently the focus is on Touhou nendoroids. I've got 10 of them so far. Actually...I wonder... ![]() Okay, that one looks good. Those are the Touhous I have so far. I am eagerly awaiting the day that Koishi and Satori are released. Soon... |

Hi Steven! I'm pretty new over here myself. I've also been trying to get back into drawing and writing after a bit of a hiatus. What do you do to motivate yourself? Where do you start? |

Hi! It's actually not too hard to motivate myself to draw, as long as there's something I have in mind to draw in general. Like I said earlier, I have very little consideration for my skill in art, so I'm not particularly self-conscious about it. It's just something I wanted to pick up, and I don't really mind how it turns out because it's just something to do for fun. I haven't really done much, though. There's some drawing challenge for Pokemon over on Tumblr that I picked up as something to structure my ideas around, but that's about it for now. Writing, on the other hand, is painful. Even though there are things I'd like to write, I do think I can write pretty well, and am eternally nervous about how anything I make would be perceived. So generally, I work up a lot of desire to write something, sit down to write it, then freak out and find a video game to play. It's a horrible cycle.
Nope. It's incredibly disheartening. They also don't have those...what were they called? The burst-like skills, where Dark Hunter would immediately bind head, arms, and legs with one move. Paired beautifully with Ecstasy. Gone now. I'm a little disappointed, even though that skill was far more broken. Basically, they nerfed Dark Hunter a lot. Good news, though: War Magus is better than ever, and has a revive spell. So I'm really happy about that. |

Hello! It definitely seems that way. I've already found the Touhou board, so I know where I'll be staying for most of forever. I did see some Pokemon-related things too, but haven't checked those out. Been busy playing Urban Legend in Limbo. I like the cut of your jib. Edited by CrystalElemental, Dec 19 2015, 07:24 PM.

I've seen some of the mental health surveys for my school, Leaf, it's not pretty, and general population statistics on the issue/articles. Art can take inspiration from reality, and certainly there's something in the show that spoke/speaks to a lot of people. But I think that's just part of it. Anyway Crystal! I chose Touhou 8 because it's the easiest of the series, and since Draco asked for one game that would introduce a lot of the series without requiring backlog materials, and 8 has a protagonist cast of eight/so lots of dialogue and conversation, I thought that would be good in that respect. The music is great, and I think overall as a game it coheres quite well. Plus the intertext with Tale of the Bamboo Cutter is fantastic. If you do want to share some of your writing, feel free to post some in the Atelier subforum! We have a few writers here of varying levels, and reading people's stuff is always a pleasure. ^_^ I definitely understand some of the anxiety about writing. Try to write not so that others will think you're a good writer, but just write if it's fun for you, or what you think is good. |

I have heard that mental health issues in schools in Japan are pretty wide-spread. As glad as I am that Madoka Magica exists as an anime, I get what you mean about it likely existing due to the concerns that exist within that society. That makes sense. It is one of the easier ones. I tend to push for Mountain of Faith or Ten Desires as the first one to get in to. MoF is difficult, but it's a very simple system that's easy to get in to, I feel (then again, I started there, so maybe biased). Ten Desires is, to me, one of the easiest. The spells aren't particularly complex, and learning the attacks is fairly easy to do. It becomes difficult when you realize how finite resources are, though. Still, it's my favorite game, so I may be a bit biased toward it. ahaha...maybe some day. My endgoal is definitely to share things I write, but I'm still very nervous about doing that at all. I know I should write things I want to write for fun, but I tend to get very self-critical and then it's just a mess. Things to work on, I suppose. |

Oh, I get that it is a very real concern, but it feels horribly out of touch with reality when you say - and I quote, "maybe we could have avoided Madoka Magica if Japan had better mental health support." |
