The Looking Glass Photo Booth

[jefflomacy]

I chose prompt two, "Something that inspires you for the upcoming decade."

I want to remember this photo because this truly was the decade of Isabelle. Love her or hate her, it is hard to deny that there is a significant amount of genius in her design. Her design is worth remembrance into the next decade because she helped bolster New Leaf into the spotlight as one of the top selling 3DS games. Furthermore, her reveal in Smash Ultimate was extremely popular and played a big part in the original announcement that New Horizons was being made. Whether you're just a fan or you study Nintendo's marketing methods as inspiration for your own business, the 2010s were the decade of Isabelle.

Something that you want to remember from the previous decade (2010-2019): In 2014 I began to learn Aikido and I have attached a photo of my gi and belt. Both are actually newer because my old gi was literally too hard to dye and the old belt wouldn't dye properly. I trained under somebody who learned from O'sensei for years and it was a really special experience. We like to keep the dojo properly when it comes to posting about it but needless to say, it's one of the most meaningful things I picked up in the 10s.

Why do you want to remember the contents of this picture in the '20s?:

Because I want to keep this up. I had to move away from where I practiced and it's going to be harder to keep up with in my new location but I would love to either find a way to keep practicing Aikido (local dojo is around 40 minutes away and my schedule sucks) or take on something new. Regardless, the self-discipline it gave me along with knowledge to protect myself (and keep myself healthy) is something I would like to reflect on.

This is my new video setup with the lights and green screen. In 2020 I really want to creater my own ASMR channel and be consistent on it, even if it doesn't work.
I'd also like to do even more videos on my gaming channel with my friend, and alone too, so this really is my main inspiration for the year, and I'd really like to... well I'd like to be successful in this, but most importantly I would really like to just be able to upload in a regular and stable way, with a nice rythm. That'd be a huge accomplishment for me.

Here is my Picture of the Animal Crossing Games I own:

1. I want to remember the contents of this picture for the 20s, because ever since I got my first Animal Crossing game (New Leaf) back in 2014, AC has always been one of my favorite games. I want to remember this because this was the decade when I first started playing AC games, and all the fun I had doing so.

2. This inspires me for the 20s, because a New Animal Crossing Game is coming out! New Horizons!!!! I have been waiting so long ever since a new animal crossing game was announced in 2018 (I think)

Fun Fact of the Day:
It took me 3 tries to finally remember I needed a namecard in the pic. I took my first pic a few days ago then remembered I needed a name card. A Few days later I took another pic, and once again forgot the namecard. Finally today when I took the pic, I remembered!

1. It is one of the best art styles I changed to. I?m glad that I learned more techniques and styles over winterbreak.

2. It inspires me to get better drawing dogs and wolves. I feel like I should draw animals better by learning more techniques.

in memory of own little white miffy, my rabbit barnaby passed away at the end of 2019 after having him for nearly a decade, he was my best friend and my comfort for so many moments, i never want to forget how precious my first pet was, he's been with me in different cities, in different relationships, in different stages of my life. it feels weird starting 2020 without him but i'll never forget how much he meant to me

I know it's just a wallpaper framed, but it's moreso the sentient and meaning behind the gift. A long time ago I went shopping with my mother at Michaels, I believe, and we bought a bunch of decorative soaps. They all had really pretty wrapping on them and handmade bows ! I remember when we were unwrapping them at home, that I pointed out how pretty the wrapping was and how it was a shame that it was just "trash" to be thrown away more or less.

The next morning my mom gave me this ! The wrapping paper from the soap, placed in an old frame. I was really confused at first, and she said that if I enjoyed it that much, I ought to keep it. It made me reflect on a lot at the time. Mostly, that my mom cares so deeply about everything I say that she thought I really wanted to keep wrapping paper.... and also that, who else in the world would love me so much that they framed PAPER and gifted it to me, just because I said ONE line about it being really pretty?

I want to remember this gift forever, because it's a symbol of how much my mother wanted me to be happy. Even on the smallest notes. I hope for many more decades filled with gifts like this.

Spoiler: warning for BIG picture

what are these lovely mostly sonic-related doodles you may or may not be asking..... they're all stuff me and my friend made when we were little and i've carried them with me all the way from arkansas to virginia and in 3 different houses. there's actually EVEN MORE than this, this is just everything i could fit in the picture!! i want to remember this picture in the 20s because all these drawings really encapsulate the early 2010s for me. friend in question is moby and moby was a very dear childhood friend, one of my only friends when i lived in arkansas, and helped me find out i'm autistic. we are still in contact and even tho we don't talk as much as we did i will still cherish all the time we spent together :3

In the last 10 years ice had many changes in my life, just like us all, but I'd always like to remember my animals that I've had and lost in the last 10 years. I don't want to carry the torch for them forever and be one of those nutty people that has them stuffed or call them my children but I'd like to always remember them fondly, they were good pets.
Oh, for the next 10 years I hope I can enjoy my pets. Simple pleasures.

This is a gift from a family member with whom I can't spend much time together in person, but it reminds me of the good times we had and will have together and that even if we can't see each other often we'll always be there for each other!




Sorry for the 3DS pic quality!

The villager pictures I've obtained in my current WW town, started in October 2018!

Why do you want to remember the contents of this picture in the '20s?

I want to remember this as a reminder that whenever I feel alone, I still have friends that care about me and that I'm important to in AC (even if they are just bunches of pixels). My villagers have always been there for me since I was a kid even when no one else has, and even at my lowest points, this game can still make me feel wanted. This photo also helps me remember the great times I've had with AC in the past decade and how important it is to me, and makes me more excited to make new memories when New Horizons comes out!

id like to remember my 3ds throughout the ‘20s bcuz soon its gonna be outdated and this is the platform where i first started playing all my favorite video games. a bit sad my baby is getting outdated but im very excited for whats coming up ;0.

im so sorry this sucks im tired and i need to get this out before i forget ty.

 

[Stella-Io]

Well this kinda goes for both, I can't choose.

Spoiler: The image in question

I complied my best art works from the past decade, the oldest being from 2015, the tree.
1 I want to remember this because there's alot of times where I'm just not proud of what I make, I make it then prompty shove it away in my box or forget about it in my sketchbook. Even something like the tree drawing wasn't done for improvement it was done for fun cause I like drawing trees. But all these drawings from over the years have stood the test of time I can go go back and put out things I like about them to this day.

2 They inspire me cause it shows how far I've come. I used to draw on printer and notebook paper with nothing but a led pen, and now I use colours, actual sketch and drawing paper and actual drawing pencils. Even thou I haven't drawn consistently already there has been improvement over the years, mostly with pencil shading. Even the tiger eye I did with a led pen, I wasn't using the proper tools and I personally find it great. If I keep drawing then I know I'll improve.

1. My zebra collection has been with me since second grade and i still love my zebras every year i won't replace them they have help me much on not to feel lonely so i would always remember them because they are in my heart and i love every single item I have of zebra

2.my zebras they always inspire me in my creative thinking on how to solve problems or make good solutions; they also let me be calm since i feel at peace with them
And i just feel like im one of them ya know
The world aint black or white its both color and when you realized that its like everything its colorful and peaceful you just feel so relax
So my zebra this year will inspire me on my personal life like my speech for my coworkers in my toxic workplace and for other stuff and when that time comes il have a zebra with me to feel relax and not nervous
My zebra are my herd & inspiration to go on with my life

This is a picture of my dog confused as to why he has a piece of paper on him lol. I want to remember this for this incoming year as he's been with me through a lot and I hope he'll be with me for many more years to come. I want to always treasure just being able to chill and hang out with my dog without worrying or being anxious about anything.

Spoiler: Quite a large image, be mindful!

From the previous decade, I want to take with me this shirt. But in reality, I'm inspired by the streamer who sold it, Jerma985.
1.Why do you want to remember the contents of this picture in the '20s? There's a lot of reasons why I want to remember this picture. It's just a picture of a shirt, but I love this shirt. My brother got it for me, because the streamer/youtuber we watch was selling them. He's been watching Jerma almost his whole career, and I have for the last about 4 years. Those 4 years have had a lot of growth.
2.Why does this picture inspire you for the '20s? The thing about Jerma is how nice of a person he is. All he wants to do is make other people happy, because that's what makes him happy, and that's the kind of person I aspire to be. Its less about the shirt and more about the man who's faces are on all those planets. He's just a good guy and a guy that I want to be like.

Why does this picture inspire you for the '20s?

I've had a surge of empowerment lately. The more I encounter things I love, things I want, and things I aspire to be, the more I refuse to sit and mope around on the fact that I'm not where I want to be yet. 2019 has been full of ups and downs but overall an amazing year full of inner growth.

This next decade will be building on that. I've always pictured this awesome retro poster that is literally the definition of empowerment for me. I really wanted to post my family, or a lovely quote, a new home, etc. for this submission... but this poster literally sums it all up for me. I want to get stronger and be able to provide for my loved ones as well as myself, then for my future children.

No doubt it will be a huge challenge with lots of "firsts", but I'm ready to fight for what I want this upcoming decade.

What an interesting leaf?​

What I'd like to look back on specifically from the previous decade is difficult for me to decide. Choosing only one, there are multiple things I'll look back on fondly and reminisce. Many of which are quite personal, and I am not sure when I'll find the words to describe them. However, some do stem from the involvement of this game, Animal Crossing New Leaf.

It was the first video game I had dedicated so much time into in such a long time and got me back into video games and Nintendo in general. It still shocks me to this very day that I have spent over 3500+ hours on this game alone. I had become addicted, to a point where my boyfriend was concerned. I love him, but the silly things he searched to try and stop me always make me giggle thinking back.

Addiction lead to curiosity. A friend of mine recommended this forum, leading me to meet so many wonderful people here. What started as simple trades to discussions of interests, blossomed into friendships. Even though some of those people have moved on with their lives, I won't forget some of the crazy and hilarious times once shared.

If I hadn't purchased a 3DS while it was taking a nose drive in sales, and picked up Animal Crossing New Leaf on a complete whim (yes, I choose it because of its cute cover knowing absolutely nothing about it), who knows, perhaps I wouldn't be here typing this today. I doubt I'll stop playing New Leaf once New Horizons comes out. I'll still pick it up now and then, and remember where it lead me.

Oh, and why is there a K.K. Slider Tsum Tsum plushie in the photo? Well, I won him during the One Year Line Celebration, lovingly crafted by Kikay. Him, and the alpaca I received sit on my bedroom dresser, greeting me every morning. I couldn't resist its inclusion.

 

[Miharu]

From the previous decade, I'll like to remember the start of our plushie family (2018).

Spoiler: The Beginning of it All

I want to remember the contents of this picture in the 20s, because I want to look back and remember what started it all. When my boyfriend and I started dating, we didn't have as many plushies as we did now. These are the main plushies that started it all and were the first few he gifted me.

Over the last 2 years, we now have enough plushies to take over my bed at home, and his bed in his apartment, as well as his couch. I wanted to take the full photo of all the plushies together, but I we just got back home from a long flight, and stacking all the plushies together gets pretty tiring hahaha! Here's like 60% of the plushies in one photo (this photo isn't for the event, just wanted to show our plushie family ;D The photo above is the event photo with the timestamp)

This is a pic of a brochure I saved from Lake Tahoe last month in December 2019. It was my first time travelling alone (always with family, going to America, seeing snow, and a whole lot of other things but I really enjoyed just being out of the country away from my family for a bit, and realising maybe life doesn’t suck. This holiday/picture inspires me for the next decade to eventually save up and travel more to experience the world, and maybe get out of Sydney when the time comes.
