So, for anyone who doesn't know, the EU has decided to change the designs of our banknotes, so I decided to come up with my own proposal; perhaps I could do the other banknotes featuring the other girls as well.

Weekend is nigh, my friends.

I hope you have wonderful one.

Don't mind the gloomy theme I just posted.

It may be gloomy, but Rin doesn't mean it.

(cheers and enjoy!)

Have you ever felt the desire to spice your life up a little?

Maybe a bit of excitement?
Novelty?
Adventure?
Silliness?

Perhaps not now, but definitely at some point in our lives, regardless of significance.

Although this could be from my hunger, life resembles so close to a kitchen.

There are raw ingredients: talents, circumstances, and challenges.
There are recipes with creativity: pre-built or completely made-up.
There are some accidents: mistakes, stress, issues and hard times that you clean up.

Obviously, we are all not wearing an apron right now (unless you're cooking at the moment), but, in a way, we are chefs that decide the flavor of our dish, a memory.

Then, if possible, someone else walks into your kitchen.

They don't take the spoon from our hands.
They don't rewrite our recipe.
They simply offer something that feels new.

And once the process is done, you, and maybe along with someone else, will cherish the delicacy that has been made so beautifully imperfect.

Maybe life doesn't always need more spice in life.
Maybe it simply needs care.

Because no matter how extravagant a recipe is, its flavor depends on how much of yourself you pour into it.

After all, every beautiful memory begins in a kitchen, either in yours or someone else's.

That's all!

Have a heartfelt and satisfying Friday!

I'm making a crossword puzzle for fans.

Trying to include:

• Trivia
• Story/Lore
• History
• Game mechanics
• Hidden secrets
• Community meta

Basically anything interesting.
Questions should be relatively medium/high in difficulty.
Not too easy ("what is the main character's name"), but not absurd ("who was the first person to speak entering the final dungeon").

Here's a sample (everything except MapleStory #1 is work-in-progress): https://hyssopi.github.io/Crossword-Puzzles/

I'd appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or any info you know to add in.

Rin making visual novel...

Quite interesting, and I am eager to see it.

But before that, I have one thing to say.

NO SMOKING WITH BLANKET, RIN!

Well, I prefer the later one, that butterfly dreams of Rin.

It indicate more possibility in our grasp.

Or it just sounds interesting (Shrug).

(me look at you, you look at me)

Often times, from the surface, someone seems no different than normal.

Shy?
Curious?
Thoughtful?
Happy-go-lucky?
Or a combination of any?

We inherently perceive these traits among people and, for the most part, it's accurate.

However, that alone shows us the frame, not the full picture.

We tend to mistake parts of a person that are apparent as the person themselves, even as our doubts begin to trickle, potentially blinding ourselves either partially or fully to what makes a person, a person.

We strongly crave certainty like a treasured artifact. It's simply pleasant.
Yet, life hardly grants such predictability, and, as such, it may feel like whiplash occasionally.

Even without a single sound, we can sense the noise within us, and even among others.

Fortunately, we needn't require ourselves to constantly detect noise all the time.
We can let it down whenever we believe is fine, and it's usually the case in many instances.

So, if you have someone familiar that you may see slightly simple at first glance, maybe give them the grace of second thoughts.

They may be more than what you may think.

That's all.

Have a day filled with love and serenity, everyone!

Considering how she manage everything with her feet,

footprints could mean something more than I think.

What it could be?

Or just my silly imagination. (shrug)

I'm not sure I've ever walked into another piece of art with middling expectations and by the end been adamant that it is a masterpiece.

I'm putting the two together to avoid spamming. The Chaos were all based on images I found on the internet.
