Today is the 11th November, almost around the same time I got back into Honkai last year and the birthday of possibly my greatest inspiration of all time: Miss Pink Elf herself, Elysia! I hope my work does her and Eden justice~

Fittingly, I wanna get a bit personal here:

Elysia is a very special character for me. She's pretty much my main inspiration on how to be a better person, you know? I see her as a rolemodel, because she's pretty much responsible for packing all my negatives and throw them on the dump. Seeing the Elysian Realm Arc and just Elysias attitude in general really spoke to me, everything she did was to me like: "Wow, I wanna be like that too!"

I often asked myself when facing something then: "what would Ellie do?", and, over time, I'd absolutely say it was a great move! I did smile more often, I now do manage to speak more openly (it's not perfect, but way more managable!) and I do see alot more beauty in this world than before. Of course, I didn't do a complete 180 immediately. There's still immense room for improvement, and I aim for that! My hope is that I will become someone I can really be proud of and maybe brighten the day of others with my work. And for me finally taking action and harboring this wish, I blame all of that on this flawless girl.

This may sound a bit silly, but I really wanted to write something personal here related to Ellie, fitting for the day~ Honestly, I find it quite fascinating on where we humans can get our motivation from, hehe. Also, I'd have written even more if A: Pixiv would let me and B: I still wanna publish this today ◑﹏◐
There's alot more to it than that, but you get the point~

I don't know where I'd be without her, the Flame Chasers, or the Honkai Story in general. Hoyo has my absolute gratitude for making such an incredible, inspiring story. I'll still be there, old and wrinkly when part 10 of the story drops!

So, thank you mihoyo/Hoyoverse
Thank you Elysia

And of course, thank you all for checking out my work! I'll be sure to give my very best to deliver better content than ever before! But for today, let's just enjoy this wonderful birthday~

Until next week~ <3
