how to be an anime being 2a

> Hello! My name is Haruki and I’m currently an art student in TUA. For this project, my roommate Do-san—who is currently away for a while—wanted me to take photos of people around Tokyo. He also wants me to take notes through a recording app for documentation. On behalf of Do-san, he hopes that you’ll like this project and he wants to thank people who made him. Anyways, that’s all. I’m going to catch a train to Tokyo. See ya!

I really love visual treat with context like this. It highlights the human side behind the ai prompts. Hope more to come 😀

This is amazing! Indeed this is quite lovely, especially the apples. Well, to answer your question, that basket was for @TheFireElemental at that time. But most of the time, it’s just for sharing apples with others. :3. 

> While on my way to the train station, I spotted a girl in my local park. She’s sits in a bench while holding a basket of red and green apples, appearing to be waiting for someone. When she glances at me, she waved and I waved back. After I told my name, she told me hers, Pomeline. She noticed my camera hanging from my neck and asked if I’m a photographer. I nodded in response. In the end, I took a portrait of her sitting with her basket. In exchange, she gave me a red apple. She’s nice, but now I’m wondering: whose basket is it for?

🤩🤩🤩🤩 I LOVE THIS! it’s so pretty!!! 💖💖💖 Thank you so much!!! 💙💙💙

> I almost missed the train. Maybe I’ve been indulging in Pomeline’s sweet apple for too long, but at least I have a quick snack before I get hungry. Anyway, I’m relieved. Now, as I’m sitting down, I can’t help but notice a girl sitting in front of me, looking out the window. The two things that caught my eyes is her glowing headphones and her oversized aqua hoodie—which is what both Do-san wanted, as I recall. Anyways, I waved and asked her if she wanted to take a portrait of her and she nodded. I also asked her name, Aqua—I like her name. Then, we talked for the entire train ride to Tokyo, forgetting that I should ask what she’s listening to her headphones. Maybe it’s Taylor Swift, who knows?

Moongem is very cute! 😻 Who is Do-san? 🤔

> Several minutes have passed, we’ve arrived at a station in Tokyo. It’s been nice talking with Aqua for the entire train ride. Before I went on my way, Aqua wanted me to stay for a while. She wanted me to meet someone. When I asked who, I looked at my back and I saw a girl waving at her. I was introduced to Moongem, a friend of hers. Like Aqua, she also wears an oversized hoodie, only this time dark navy blue. In my opinion, she seems very nice. It seems to me they’re both close friends, and I like their dynamic when they’re together—I wish me and Do-san would be like that. Oh by the way, she agreed to me when I asked if I wanted to take a portrait of her.

Aww so glad you do!!🩵🤩😄🥰🫶🏻🙏🏻✨

> After walking around for a while, we were feeling hungry. Luckily, Gem knows a good ramen place that isn’t much crowded and she always dine there. Once we’ve entered the ramen place, Gem is surprised with the unexpected encounter. The ramen place that we went happens to be where Tsuki is. They both hugged in excitement while me and Aqua are just standing there awkwardly. Anyways, after that, we ate ramen together. To be honest, it’s the best ramen I’ve had, probably because I’ve been living off instant ramen for two-years in college. Also Tsuki paid for our meals too, which is amazing. In exchange of her hospitality, she agreed to take a portrait of her.

Beautiful story even if a bit sad, thank you for the beautiful image too 💖💖💖💖💖

> After a nice dinner, we continued to wander the streets of Tokyo. We’ve stumbled upon a few friends along the way—which I also photographed them, I’ll put them in the appendix. We also found Pomeline too on our way. Anyways, while we’re walking, we saw someone waiting outside a karaoke bar. Gem saw her and immediately greeted her with a warm excited hug. Aqua told me that her name’s Moon Rabbit or Moon, for short. She greeted all of us, including me. However, she felt concerned for me because she didn’t reserved enough seats to include me. I reassured her, since I’m not really good at singing. She accepts my assurance and, instead, I took a portrait of her before I go on my own. In the end, I told the girls to keep safe and I waved goodbye. I hope they’re having a good time.

Apt looks awesome! So glad both of you got your coffee!🩵🤩

thank you! he looks like a really cool dude :D

> A half-hour of walking later, I feel tired with a bit of FOMO. I sat down on a metal bench, my head buried in my hands like Shinji. But while I feel despair, I saw a glowing green chain shining in front of me. I look up and I saw a guy, giving me a can of coffee. Glad that I accept it, despite that I might not sleep tonight. He sat down next to me and he told me his name, Apt. I don’t know why I told my problems to a stranger, but I did it anyway. Unexpectedly, he gave a great advice, taking lessons from being a hero and applied it to me. It’s so good. So good, in fact, that I almost forgot to ask him for a photo before he leaves. After the photo, I gave him a hug, thanked him, and he left. I hope I could see him again.

apt (advice)

> After Apt gave me some advice, I feel okay now. However, I want to relax for a moment; maybe a cozy cafe would do. So, I stood up and went on my way. As I’m wandering in Tokyo, looking for a cafe, someone tapped on my shoulder. I was approached by the twins, Hana-chan and Yuki-chan, whom they wanted a picture of them. Wait, did they notice my camera while I was walking? Anyway, I nodded and took them pictures. Personally, it’s a challenge for me to pose the twins for a portrait. But I find the results worth it, and the twins approved them too.

WOW, just wow. This is amazing! the art and writing is spectacular! thank you so much. I checked out the rest of the collection, and I know a few of them, and you did a superb job with every single one of them! thank you so much! ^^

ur welcome! also thanks for checking out the collection, i have more to come :D

> I continue to look for a cafe around Tokyo after taking pictures with the twins. Few minutes later, I finally found one. A little crowded in the establishment, perhaps an event? I looked at the poster near the cafe and I noticed that there’s a poetry reading event inside. Interested, I went inside. It’s hard for me to find a seat, but I managed to find one that’s three tables away from the stage. After I ordered a cream-based frappe, a guy wearing a red plaid jacket goes up the stage with a notebook in hand. The host announces their name, Spaceotter. Honestly, his spoken word poetry is quite amazing and touching. His poems are really special. Anyway, I showed to him some candid portraits while he’s reciting and he actually liked them.

Pim looks stunning like always!!🩵🤩🫶🏻✨

I’m sure she will this looks awesome!🩵💯💯

> A heap of poetry later, I drank half of the frappe in my cup. Not gonna lie, all their poems are incredible, but I won’t be staying in for too long. So, I left the cafe, carrying my frappe with me. I simmer the Tokyo’s fresh breeze at night, until I almost spilled my coffee and almost bumped into a girl listening to music. I felt so dumb that I immediately apologize a few times, but she reassures that it’s fine. Regardless, I’m introduced to Pim. She asks me where the cafe Spaceotter performed and I gladly pointed the direction. She thanked me, but before she left, she noticed my camera hanging from my neck. She can’t help but ask if I’m a photographer. I said yes in response. In short, I took her portrait and then we both went on our separate ways.
