Or better yet, what makes a morally gray character that readers can't help but like? My first thought goes to Aemond Targaryen from House of the Dragon - who I must confess has been the source of a lot of my creative motivation. He's dark but sympathetic, and his characterization keeps my attention. I read recently that people tend to favor villains who appeal to their id as this character has the darker aspects of our personality that we keep down....

It'd be an understatement to say that I have a very vague, very broad goal of becoming a writer. I was voted "Most Likely to Write a Romance Novel" back in a high school, a superlative I still grip onto to this day, and every other year, I would tell myself that it was finally time. Well, here we go again, it's finally time....

Since the last time I wrote on LumiScript, I was unemployed and freshly motivated following my first trip to Paris. I firmly set my feet down, and started working towards a career related to music. It didn't matter what it was; I just wanted to be around music. I had to do a lot of soul-searching as I found my shallow career goals were pretty aimless - advertising....

If you're on MetalTok, you might have noticed some new faces and specifically more Kpop profile pictures flooding the comments and creating content. Where the ever-so-lovingly referred to "MoshTok" used to be a very niche but large community, there seems to be an influx of fans coming in from other music spaces. Specifically, the Bad Omens fans (or the "Bad Omens Cult") have noticed there's more crossover between the fandoms in the past month, and many are wondering why. ...

I share my music with everyone. I share music with strangers, friends, family, coworkers – anyone who's curious. I love sharing what I listen to because, while I dabble in other hobbies, music seems to be the only timeless hobby and passion I've had since I was a child. That passion never died down, but the scene certainly has changed as the years went on....

If you scrolled through TikTok this year during Coachella, you'd find that some of the usual faces were missing from this year's attendance list, but not only that - it was revealed by some users that many influencers were getting dressed for the big event, driving to the grounds, taking photos, and then leaving without actually attending. It's no secret that influencer culture festers around the famous music festival as it brings in the biggest names in music, and by extension, it brings in brands and many opportunities to go viral....

Crown the Empire is a band that seems to deliver, but not necessarily to the fans they expect. The Texas-native group's newest and first album since the pandemic titled DOGMA dropped earlier this week to mixed reviews, most conveying a general feeling of disappointment and confusion to the lack of metal elements. The title track "DOGMA" incorporates more electronic bits than expected, but for followers of the members, this might have been expected. ...

Asian artists are surely taking the world by storm. Most recently, South Korean boy group BTS made a breakthrough to mainstream listeners above the massive fanbase they already held in a less known scene. While the world of KPOP is considered highkey to those already part of this domain, American audiences are still unaware of the impact Asians and Asian Americans are having on the music industry....

Take our definition of a difficult life and the worst days of our lives and add ten years. The former angsty teenagers of 2008 have grown into the working class of today. The venues that were once filled with Sharpie-drawn Xs are now scattered with tattoo-clad adults, all with a beer in hand and ci******es in their pockets. This is the generation that grew from the sounds of Taking Back Sunday, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out-era Panic!...

I spent this past Easter weekend in Paris, and it could not have been more eye-opening. Despite the rainy weather during the week, I was able to see how effortless fashion was in Paris and how Pinterest can really be misleading when you're looking for Parisian fashion inspo. Aside from the staple trench (obviously, still a necessity for any capsule wardrobe), there are a handful of other "rules" or concepts to consider if you want to look like a local....

The “Beauty Influencer Gasp” has taken over as a new term on TikTok, but even those who debunk influencing by “de-influencing” are still finding a way to profit off fake reviews. It’s no secret that the return of Jeffree Star has called out the integrity of many top earning influencers, but even then, their follower count still isn’t dropping the way you think it would....

In 2022, I took a year long break from fully engaging in my personal social accounts as I was really getting to learn the ins and outs of the marketing world. This past November marked one year since I started working my dream job at an advertising agency, and aside from honing in on my craft and trying to navigate the industry, I’ve gone through so many life changes since....

Most of us remember the year erupted as a silent but mighty movement. Hundreds and millions of women shocked social media with the simple hashtag, and it opened the eyes of the public to exactly how common sexual assault is and how many women are silent survivors. allowed survivors to speak up without needing to go into detail, and the rally behind these women was massive....

I stopped blogging for a while after not being able to properly handle my stress. My last job had me dreading the mornings and procrastinating sleep, but the past six months have been a wonderful slow burn into the success I'd been searching for. I officially work in the advertising industry. That means - slow mornings, long afternoons, and hectic nights—plus a sprinkle of chaos and socialization....

It's been some time since I've written about Crazy Rich Asians and how enamored I was with - not Nicholas Young (well, maybe a little bit) - the idea of relating a little too much to the heroine of a novel. Last time I ventured into this territory, I reflected on the pride I felt after watching the movies. Surprisingly, I was met with a lot of criticism....

It's been a long ten years. It's been an even longer twenty years. September 11, 2001 I was 7 years old. Sometimes, I tell people I was 6, but for some reason, I can never remember those details. I remember my second grade teacher, Mrs. Murphy, and I remember being picked up that day from school. My dad drove us home, his eyebrows furrowed together in stress....

It was a fairly easy decision to start therapy. At the time I was still working for Starbucks, and the pandemic had just started. Business were starting to close and the news reports of Asian hate crimes began to sky rocket. While most of my peers groaned over the thought of having nothing to do, I treasured my quiet moments at home where I didn't really have to think of much....

Once you reach 23, you start to realize that childhood dreams are really a concept you either find terribly hilarious or extremely ironic. Child-like reasons like “I want to be a veterinarian because I love animals” turn into “Wait, I’m not actually smart enough of dedicated enough to go through Vet school.” When I was in high school, I told myself I was going to be a programmer, and by the time I was halfway through my first semester in college, I realized this just wasn’t going to be a reality....
