I'd be happy if you could play around with things like
'The [Something] Award'
Example:
'The Cuteness Bomb Award'
'The Brain Full of Flowers Award', etc.🌈✨
I'd be happy if you could enjoy it like a comedy quiz show🤩‼️
Those who are super easy-going, kind, or have a rich imagination
will be spotted by my Cosmic Rare Beast radar👀💖✨
(In a good way💕 probably🤣✨)
Please refer to the nominated works
from here💖💖💖💖💖
And, one thing before you vote.
My feelings
Let me share my realization💖💖💖
Yesterday
I received feedback about the voting method
and based on everyone's voices, I added DM voting✨
'That's great💖' 'I'm relieved💖'
I received comments like that
and it's a fact that I felt relieved too( ´ ▽ ` )💖
I listened properly and decided properly💡
That was entirely my decision✨✨
But you know......
Actually, after that
I was feeling uneasy for a long time🤣🤣🤣💖💖💖💦
The part of me that thinks in my head 'This should be fine👍✨'
and the Cosmic Rare Beast🦄✨ that kept feeling like something was off
Hmmmmmm......
Something just doesn't feel right...
I couldn't put it into words well
and felt uneasy, uneasy.................
And this uneasiness
finally turned into words this morning🤣💖💖💖
This time, all the works are so wonderful that it's hard to choose
and without a doubt, everyone is definitely agonizing over it🤣💖💖💖
As a work, it's a very happy thing
but it's painful for everyone to have to rank them🤣💦
Among that,
I imagine there are surely various patterns
of people not wanting to be seen casting their vote.
Maybe they want to 'support their favorite' in secret🤣💖
or maybe they are embarrassed to say 'I like it💖'🤣💖
Also
'It's awkward to have it seen who I voted for'
'What will they think of me?'
'It's full of friends anyway'
'I don't want to make anyone sad'
I tried to understand the feelings of those who feel that way too🤣💖
I also
🔥came from the Self-Sacrifice Oshin Village🤣
🔥and lived in the Self-Denial/The World is Full of Demons Village too🤣
so I really understand those feelings🤣💖
That's why I made DM voting OK🍀✨✨
But just one thing💖💖💖
I said it first👇 here.
Will followers vote?
Or will they fall in love with other works💖🤣🥹
Including that
it's all a festival🔥✨✨
'It's just fun🤣' is everything💖
So this time too!!
If we can all have a good time together
then that's the victory🏆✨✨✨
Yeeeeeeaaaaah🔥🔥🔥💖💖💖
(Sunshine Ikezaki-style Akane🦄✨)
Like that🤣🤣🤣🤣💖💖💖💖
Sunshine Akane🦄🌈✨
Do you remember that I was there🤣!?? lol
So you see
This is a festival, you know🤣🤣🤣💖💖💖
It's a contest, though🤣
I did say it was a judging process, though🤣
The main premise is that it's a festival🤣🤣🤣💖💖💖
So, honestly,
it's not about what anyone thinks of it,
"I love it💖"
"It's so fun💖"
I want to create a world that's just about that🤣✨✨✨
"I just love this piece💖💖💖"
Just that alone🤣
Because, you know,
a work of art and a person's value are separate things, right?🤣💖
Just because you weren't chosen
doesn't mean you have no value🤣
I think the charm of the creator
and the charm of the illustration itself
are two different things🤣💖
"I just happened to like this one this time💖"
That's all it is🤣✨✨
Because
"Akane-chan! If you don't vote for me,
that means you don't like me, right?🥺"
If someone said that to me...
"No, no, no🤣💦 That's not it🤣"
"I mean, sorry🤣 I didn't vote for you,
but that's a completely different thing🤣💦"
That's what would happen, right?🤣🤣🤣
So, I really think it's fine to be that
laid-back about it🤣💖💖💖
But this time,
consideration,
thoughtfulness,
and reading the room,
I ended up feeling all of that🤣
🚀Cosmic Rare Beast🦄🦄🌬️ even though I am oneっっ🤣
For a moment, I turned back into a human🤣🤣🤣💖💖💖
But you know, I still think it.
Honestly,
"liking"something and being able to express it as is is the best, right?💖💖💖
"Liking"is such a powerful energy, you know😍✨
By the way, do you know this?🤣 This?
🌸The [2:6:2 Rule] of human relationships🌸
[20%] People who will like you no matter what you say or do
[60%] People who will like or dislike you depending on your words and actions
[20%] People who won't get along with you and will dislike you no matter what you do🤣
The [2:6:2 Rule] applies in many places
A Cosmic Rare Beast might
be disliked a bit more than that 20%🤣🤣🤣💖💖💖
Can't be helped, that's just how it is🤣🤣🤣
But you know,
trying not to be disliked by people,
not saying what I want to say,
reading the room, and conforming to everyone,
not being able to be myself
is scarier to me right now🤣💖
I almost turned back into a human, but
Cosmic Rare Beast🦄🌬️ Laid-back Hero Akane🌸 is back🦄💖
Above all,
I, the one creating this festival space,
have to be in a good energy state💖💖💖
If I'm feeling uneasy,
even though I've had such wonderful works created for me,
it would ruin everything🤣🤣✨✨
So,
to align my own energy,
I just wanted to say it🤣💖💖💖
So,
everyone, please keep voting the way you are💖
Of course, I understand the desire to be considerate,
so any of the 3 voting patterns is fine🙆♀️💖
I'm really happy to see introduction posts, of course💖
Comments or DMs are also fine✨
Please participate in a way that's easy for you💖
🌼 Let's be more relaxed
🌼 Let's be more free
🌼 Let's just say "I love it💖"
By the way, this Cosmic Rare Beast
will also announce what I chose💖
(Avoiding the "Aren't you going to submit yours?" problem🤣)
Oh! But finally, I plan to announce it
along with everyone's voting results,
but I have zero intention of controlling the results💖
My votes
will probably be a mix of "Surprising!🤣", "I get it", and
"Is that even allowed??",
I feel like it'll be all of that🤣💖
Well, I'm not thinking too deeply, just "I love it"💖💖💖
I don't want to rig the results.
And since I can't see the actual votes in DMs,
you'll just have to trust me on that too🤣
I'd be happy if you trusted me🤩💖
By the way, everyone's vote is
1 point per work. So 3 points in total🌸
The Cosmic Rare Beast🦄🌬️ Laid-back Hero Akane, as the head judge,
gives 5 points per work🌸 for a total of 15 points.
I will tally them up
based on this total💖💖💖💖💖
Phewーーー🤣🤣🤣💖💖💖
Since I was able to convey it
The cloudiness has cleared and I feel refreshed🌿🌿✨✨✨
So, it starts today at midnight🌙✨
I'm looking forward to your votes💖💖💖
Let's enjoy itーーー🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖
