Hiii everyone! Sorry to bother, but do any of you also like to draw?? This is a page from my sketchbook!

I think I'm running out of ideas, so I was hoping someone here would have suggestions on what to draw
or maybe how to find inspiration? I didn't have a lot of time to do anything artistic before so I'm a little new to this!!

[ ooc: pls dont expect anything pretty. ( 〃．．) i hope i posted this right?? lmao ]

Haha, that would require me to make some paintings. I haven't made the time for it, unfortunately.
I'm usually in Tamamo territories actually.

Sometimes I'll wander over to the Alliance's shops. Interesting conbinis and all that.

i just saw this one too!!! gfdnjgkd im so sorry

[lovebreathing]

Tamamo territory has such nice shops! I love looking at all of the fashion and modern things there!

Do you ever wear makeup, or like to do your nails, or anything like that? I would always try and keep up with those things but I hardly had time for it before.

[nerine]

I wear makeup. I don't do too much with my nails outside of maintaining them, but I could start playing around with them if I wanted to.
My advice with makeup is just to put on what fits best with your current lifestyle.
And there's always a time and place for it so you don't need it all the time.

[lovebreathing]

Oh! As silly as it sounds, I never thought of it like that before!

When I was growing up, I was always told to be presentable all the time and to maintain appearances ... my mom was really strict about it! [ nagging was how she showed love though, as far as mitsuri's concerned: especially with a daughter like her, who was so abnormal. ]

I think this is the first time I've heard someone say a girl doesn't need make up all the time. It's kind of refreshing!

[nerine]

Haha, well I'm glad it helped somewhat.
Makeup is really fun and it can be really effective in some situations
But you know, time and place.

[lovebreathing]

I'll need to learn not to wear it so much!

Out of curiosity, were you ever told it was something you needed to wear too, or anything like that? I noticed there's usually a lot more rules for girls than there are for boys most of the time.

Sometimes it feels a little unfair.

[nerine]

You'll find that it's kind of the case in most places, unfortunately.
As for me being told what to do...
No, not really. Growing up, I was rather independent for better or for worse, and did as I pleased.
I guess in indirect ways, I was told what to do, but in that case, it was more for me to seek out advice in magazines and other such media.

monts has cool older sister vibes

[lovebreathing]

[ wow. she's stunned --

this person was directly opposite her, who'd always waited for approval, or who preferred being told what to do.
she'd almost always acted with some kind of external validation in mind. ]

I really admire that!

Did it ever cause any friction between you and someone else though?
That kind of thing worries me sometimes.

she tries, truly

[nerine]

Oh yeah, my grandmother was especially snappy with me
But I think we reached an understanding at some point
Not that it stops the lectures, but I take them with a grain of salt
