Vincent Van Gogh, Hong Sung Dam (Korean Minjing Artist; I’m not sure if he endured a hard life himself, but he did make artworks depicting the emotional turmoil Korean people endured due to oppression, dictatorship, and unfair human rights. Look up artworks: 10:20am April, 2024 (2016), Sound of the Last Breathing (2016), and Night Shift)
Might as well include every Hobbit and elf in the Tolkien universe to the list, too! Living in The Shire would be nice :)
I told him that I liked him more than a friend a couple months ago. Ended in a friend-zone 💀 . We both agreed that it’s best for us to be just friends because of timing. He works a lot and does school full time, so he’s not gonna be able to prioritize me. I (still) find him attractive, but he helped me dodge a bullet in saving me from another heartbreak.
The ability to not give a fuck about what others think about them, showing people close to them that they care about them and tries to help out anyway that they can, showing appreciation when someone does something for them.
I see these qualities in my (guy) friend which is why I had a crush on him. Also he kinda looks like Leon Kennedy sooo…👀
Samwise Gamgee, Gandalf, and Aragorn from LOTR. Or just basically every sage/wise archetype character in stories. Need their wisdom to help me get thru life to prevent me from falling into another depressive episode.
R2D2. Would like a robot friend that makes funny beeps and boops sounds so I won’t be sad 24/7.
Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil (game), Dante and Vergil from Devil May Cry (game). They seem cool and are badass.
Ohh. Whoops, I misread your question. In that case, also no. They usually use words to tell me to keep close majority of the time when I was a kid. I wasn’t the type of child that would run off whenever I wanted because I would listen to them (their scoldings, warnings about stranger danger). As I grew up, they trusted me enough to let me wander around at an event we were at or something by myself because they knew when and where I would report back. Basically, I was responsible enough at a young age.
No, not that I remember. It’s not that they don’t love each other; they do. It’s just that they show it differently through actions rather than physical touch. My parents are Chinese; physical touch isn’t that common in East Asia. And their parents (aka my grandparents) didn’t show them love through that way, so I grew up mostly receiving love through actions, too like my mom buying/cutting fruits while I’m studying.
A friend of mine got me interested in playing Tamagochi (Paradise). You can get the latest release on Amazon, though it’s more expensive than older gens.
Idk if you like building stuff, but I collect cardboard from packages and turn them into 3D weapons. I do the same with recyclable trash. I take garbage and make art out of it, usually making sci-fi spaceships. And I put them on display around the house. To me, it’s very fun and my absolute favorite hobby.
Nichijou! It’s wacky, funny, and out-of-the ordinary slice of life anime. Anyone can watch it.
My hobby is building cosplay weapons/props or just building shit in general. I get to look at the thing I made and go “holy shit, I made that with my crafting skills and my own 2 hands!”. I made Guts’s sword from Berserk before and I get to swing it around. I tend to enjoy hobbies that requires hands-on work the most like woodworking, helping my dad fix engines/car/boat stuff, playing with legos, and such.
It challenges my creativity because I also like doing prop design in visual development/drawing/illustration. So when I design my own weapon(s) and I can make it into 3D art for display. My whole room will be filled with cardboard swords and guns one day.
Any (shounen) anime opening/ending songs- One piece, Naruto, Fairy Tail, Angel Beats, Noragami. Yu-Gi-Oh (dub) doesn’t have any lyrics, but it still goes hard AF even after 15+ years.
When Joel has to choose to save Ellie from having the brain surgery or not in The Last of Us. When Monika in Doki Doki Literature club removes other characters in the game from the player’s file + when she breaks the 4th wall. “It’s just a prank, Han!” from Until Dawn.
Was strong enough to overcome the harsh realities of dealing with heartbreak and depression. It took a lot of nights crying myself to sleep, days fighting with my suicidal thoughts, and my “inner demons” bashing negative comments to myself to finally have a calmer mind.
Got my driver’s license after after having a panic attack. I passed on the 3rd try, but I had a panic attack on my 1st in public at the DMV and had a total meltdown in front of strangers on the 2nd try because I failed. I was learning how to drive while being heartbroken after being dumped by my ex. So, I was extremely disappointed in myself that I failed the behind the wheel test because I really did give it my all, my best effort to learn while being depressed as shit, but received a failing grade in the end.
Learned from my failures. And is now a much wiser person than I was 3 years ago. I grew up because of my break-up and failures. Aka, growing pains. I learned a lot about myself, learned how to heal, how to deal with pain, suffering, and mental health + gained different perspective about life/relationships, gained new friends and is (slightly) happier than I was 2-3 years ago.
Graduated high school in 2021; I was about 16/17. For me, my senior year of HS wasn’t that bad. Sure, we all couldn’t physically be with one another, but I didn’t really mind. I’m a person who likes to hang out by myself than with other people most of the time. But if my friend wanted to hang out, we go on video calls. I actually prefer online classes. I didn’t need to wake up so freaking early to try to stay awake for 6 hours everyday and come back home to study for 4 more hours. I got to walk on stage when I graduated (all wearing masks tho). I’m just glad I got through high school because I didn’t really enjoy it (people there were okay/nice. It was the curriculum that made me dislike HS–in America).
Currently, I’m in my 5th year of Uni studying studio arts, but is thinking about going to trade school at my community college for welding because it’s harder for people who just graduated to get into (entry level) creative positions, the studio job isn’t what I want anymore, and visual development for animation is oversaturated/extremely competitive. I survived the pandemic, but I’m struggling to survive this current semester because of feeling jaded in studying the arts, still depressed, and lost my passion for creating stuff, but is slowly regaining it back. Overall, trying to figure out young adult life (now 22) and trying to keep my worrying about my future/career to a minimum.
My ex bf was a car guy. He got me interested in it and took me on my 1st midnight drive. BEST. NIGHT. EVER. We snuck out of our houses to go driving down LA. It was SO much fun–playing our favorite songs, speeding, seeing the city lights! Wish I could do it again with him. After we broke up, I view cars as a my love for him so I kept my hobby/interest. But it took me awhile to view it that way because cars reminded me of him which equals sad.
Also I’m an artist interested in illustration/concept design. I find prop design (specifically vehicles and weapons) fun to draw. So as a designer, I would research how things work like the mechanics to get a better understanding of the functionality of said object like cars. And I like how some sports cars look with all the sharp spikes and cool gadgets-- a fuel for my inspiration/imagination. And I just like learning new things.
Yes, I use Lord of the Rings: The Shire Theme (Concerning Hobbits) Epic Version by Samuel Kim.
I graduated high school during Covid
Taekwondo
