I've been here for a year and I think I may have a little bit of artists' block. I think it might be the summer heat.
When I first got here I got to do some scuba diving. I haven't gotten to do this for awhile and I'd like to give it another try since it's so warm out. It's probably a long shot, but if anyone here is skilled in it, would you mind answering some questions? While I'm sure there are places to learn - it can't hurt to ask here first.
And a few curious questions.
1. Tell me something interesting about the world you were before here. I'm always looking to hear stories from where you're from. So if you have a story you spontaneously want to share, send me a message.
2. An interesting thing you've learned about this world. The Moons and Chroma don't count, I'd bet that's different from most, if not all, places. Something like a hidden gem of a restaurant,
3. What do you do to get inspiration? New location? Where's your favorite place to get inspired here?
4. Where's your favorite place to pick up some new furniture.
That being said, I have the opportunity to set up a permanent studio here, which should prevent my cat** from spilling tea on stuff when he wants attention.

3. depends what you are trying to inspire. im new but i like caihong district. meditate on bridge at koi pond. flute.
[ "flute." oy. texting is new for him, ok, he was too busy playing with swords in the early '90s to be tech savvy on the World Wide Web yet. ]

[ he's a shonen jump manga-ka from the late 90s. it's fine. he knows tournament stories - so he's proddig more]
Manga. I write and draw manga, so that's what I'm working to inspire. A change of scenery isn't a bad pick.

[ kuwabara cannot escape shishi's shade even online, the poor boy ]
are you starting a new story or in a block with an old one? that makes a difference.
no subject
[ he totally gets the superpower thing and yet ]
It's a new story. Currently I do one-shot stories, but getting a new one started isn't going well recently.

[ Shishi's no artist, but he's old af so he's got Opinions ]
Have you tried doing a different art form recently? if you usually draw, instead play music, write poetry, or so. something to stimulate creativity in a new way. keep the mind sharp. gotta spice it up sometimes, even in martial arts
no subject
And that is a good bit of advice, as I've never actually tried any of those things - lest as a method to somehow recover from artist's block. So, I think I'll give it a shot.
no subject
what will you try your hand at? maybe poetry is a good go-to
or you could pick up a sword, ha. talk about staying sharp!
no subject
Poetry is pretty safe, to be honest. Though a sword might be kind of fun, and I'm all for a new experience.
Show me your skills. Maybe I can pick up a thing or two.
no subject
however if you've never fought with swords... no offense, but i'm not the kindly mentor type. if you're inept at it i'm not interested, sorry.
but if you happen to fight in general and fancy yourself pretty strong for a human... i could reconsider, with or without swords.
or i know a fun poetry game. HA!
no subject
I'm afraid I won't be much of an opponent for you, so I'll have to pass on a fight.
What is this poetry game?
no subject
this was very popular amongst all the samurai class when i was younger, an aristocratic game to show off one's mind, whet your wit
the rule is simple: capture a compelling emotion
but show, don't tell. what's the point of creating a poem just to explain a thought or express a feeling, like you could normally just say anyway?
this is just a concentration of the depth of a fleeting experience, embodying an essence of a feeling, not naming it. so much is in a moment. nature lends itself best to this effect, typically
5 lines, 31 syllables. 5-7-5-7-7.
just go off-the-cuff, don't think too hard about it. that's the point. ephemerality
that said. this is typically a spoken word game, rather than writing, which i think is quite different. if it's all the same to you, it'd be better played via audio than text. i can start off if you'd like as an example?
no subject
Why don't you get started, then.

To see stars at night,
One must seek out the darkness,
But to see the sky,
One must lose sight of the light,
Like the sea mourning the moon
