~Next set of questions!~

1) Your favorite quote that grounds you to being yourself?

Oh, that’s a good question... maybe “You doubt your value. Don’t run from who you are.” It’s a quote from the Narnia books that I really like, and since I struggle a lot with self-loathing it is very important to me since it makes me remember that I am valuable~ 💫

This is pretty much impossible to answer because I have wayyyyy to many ships and I can’t choose just one of them adjfbnaidfad

3) Favorite soulmate AU type? (I.e. name on wrist, heterocrhomia eyes of your other half’s, seeing color for the first time)

I like all of them but I haven’t heard of the heterochromia one, that sounds really beautiful!

Merlin. I like a lot of shows but Merlin is the one I keep coming back to. ✨

5) Your white noise show? (Go to show you can rewatch countless times and tune in and out of)

SCRUBS. Definitely. It’s such a great show, perfectly balanced between humour and seriousness and almost every episode works well on it’s own so no matter when you decide to watch you’ll have a nice time~

6) Fictional character you wish was real to validate your unnecessary crush?

Oh, I don’t really fall in love with fictional characters? I just ship them with people from their own universe haha (^^;)

7) A weird phobia you have that you can’t explain?

I have phobias, but I don’t know if they’re un-explainable... like my fear of insects can be explained by me getting stung by a bee when I was little...

8) Sweets or Sours?

I like both, but I’’ll say sweets! 🍬

9) Are you an artist, writer, musician, or part of the adoring audience who supports them?

...I’m a bit of them all? I play the violin so I am a musician, and I like to write and I always support other artists 💗

10) Favorite band?

I love a lot of Kpop groups, and apart from that... musically or personality-wise? Because musically I’d say any group made by Alexander Bard, but personality-wise... Westlife? Maybe??

Congratulations for reading all of those messy answers! (>W<) You’re amazing~ Have a nice day! 💖

I didn’t really have a particular idea for this mind map that I wanted to focus on, although there were a few areas that my mind naturally deviated to such as magic and monsters/mythical creatures as those are particular areas of the genre that I especially like. I did pick this word from the mind map as I wanted to have a second theme choice for my project/not just limit myself to Psychology and I thought Fantasy would be a good choice as its a media genre that I enjoy and it’s also quite broad so I have a lot of options as to what I can do with it.

I’ll start with the magic side of the mind map. Fantasy themed media frequently involves some kind of magic particularity fantasy worlds so perhaps I could have some kind of magic involved somewhere. Whether that’s designing a character that has magical abilities or using it as a mechanic in a game such as for a enemies attack or in a board or card game where spells/runes/potions could be used to slow down your opponents/help you win the game. Most magic though tends to follow some kind of system/rules that govern how it works and I came up with a few different examples on my mind map to use as a guide if I go down this route. Magic comes in various forms, you get your classical spells/ magical energy blasting out of someones hands or a wand, staff, etc. But you also get runes which are essentially symbols that are drawn to create spells. you also get potions which aren’t exactly magic but they often have magical properties so technically they count in my opinion. Although out of these three types I personally prefer having the magic emit from a character or object as it often looks cooler and runes and potions tend to be more restrictive.

Similarly some magic systems are more restrictive than others. For example magic or bending ( which is what its called in the world it takes place in) in Avatar the last Airbender (Nickelodeon Cartoon) follows very particular rules. Not everyone can bend, you have to be born with the ability to do it. your also restricted to only one element (unless your the Avatar), if you are a water bender you can’t earth bend. You also cant just bend straight away, in order to bend there are various I believe martial arts movements the character needs to do in order to get the element they bend to behave in the way they want it to. while the Magic in Harry Potter (book/film series) although still having its own restrictions is a bit less restrictive. your still required to be born with magic and carry out specific actions but abilities are not limited. As long as your a wizard/witch, have a wand and know how to cast the spell you can do pretty much anything. Although some of the main points I got from this are what is required to do magic in the first place. Some systems allow characters to emit magic straight from their bodies through some kind of physical action while others require the caster to use some kind of item such as a wand that contains magic/has magical properties. Also there is the question as to were the magic comes from. Most magic requires some kind of energy whether that be your classic magic or some other energy variation which is typically the same thing but with a different name such as Mana or Magicka. Although not all “magical” abilities seem to require energy and it is just down to the characters physical strength/endurance such as in Avatar the Last Airbender. If energy is required this energy is either stored inside the body of the character for the character to use which they absorbed into them somehow from magic in their surroundings or their body seems to naturally produce it themselves. Personally I prefer the systems that are less restrictive as it widens the possibilities with what you can do with magic but if you are going to implement it there should be some kind of logic/rules to it so the audience can understand how it works. I think if I was making a magical character I would have it so they either absorbed magic energy from their surroundings or they produce it themselves. Either way they need energy to perform magic but as long as they have enough energy they can do pretty much anything. No incantations or specific actions needed, although perhaps they need to visualize what they want the magic to do and they have to essentially teach themselves to get the magic to do specific things. They can’t just shoot fire out of their hands they have to think about the energy coming into their hands and it changing into fire, how does the fire behave, etc. Although if I made a game for my project I would make the system a lot more structured/rule based as games rely quite heavily on rules in order to function.

I did also go over alternate dimensions/ portals into other dimensions on this mind map such as the wardrobe to Narnia (book and film series) and the door in the wall in Coraline (book and film.) But I’ve already had a bit of a look at inter dimensional travel with the Margaret comic. Admittedly not to the extent I would have liked to but I would like to try and avoid going over familiar ground entirely. Admittedly I’m already treading over familiar ground with an animal character but that’s what I’m good at and I should try to limit any more familiar concepts if I can help it. so its probably best I don’t go this direction.

One other thing I naturally put down was fantastical creatures. I really like fantasy creatures esspecially dragons, which I’m pretty sure I’ve stated on various occasions on my first blog. Perhaps the world my animation(s) or game (I still haven't decided which one yet) could take place in a fantasy world with fantasy creatures.( I would need to do some research into lots of fantasy creatures so I have a lot of options to pick from.) That or my character could be a anthropomorphised fantasy creature themselves. A dragon character would be really cool or some kind of hybrid, although I have made quite a few dragon models in my own time (personal models) and I made a hybrid animal for my bottle topper so perhaps not. When I was doing this branch though Myths and Legends crossed my mind and the various different mythologies such as Egyptian and viking mythology. I don’t really know much about them personally but from what I do know there are some quite cool monsters/creatures in them so they might be good to look at as a source of inspiration to base a character or fantasy world on. Although if I do go for this direct inspiration I would need to do some quite extensive research on them. I’m particularity drawn to Egyptian mythology but that’s mostly because I like how Egyptian Gods and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, artwork and artifacts look. Its also probably the one I know the most about although that’s still very little.
