An Shiraishi - Blog Posts

Honestly this reading is surprising to me because I didn’t take it like that. I don’t know if it’s just a matter of opinion, or maybe because it’s difficult to read into what the writers intended, but for me, I read the event like this:

At the start, An is worried about participating in a photoshoot because ‘she isn’t a model or anything,’ and doesn’t have any experience with things like that. It seemed pretty clear to me that the meaning behind this was that An was feeling insecure. This tracks for her character because we’ve seen events since then showing how An’s insecurity tends to complicate her feelings towards Kohane. I won’t elaborate too much so as not to spoil later events, but I’ll try my best to explain with some quotes taken from the event. In the beginning, when Kawasaki suggests An model for her, she says this:

And when she says the last line, she frowns, like she’s disappointed. And later in the event, she also says this;

An isn’t apprehensive because she is uncomfortable wearing dresses, she is apprehensive because she doesn’t think she is mature or collected enough to make a suitable bride. At the same time, she wants to be those things. Kohane brings it up when she notices An trying to act more mature— something that ended up stifling her natural spark— and An confesses it at the end of the event, realizing she has only felt unsure of herself because she was trying to make herself more like her aunt Nagi, someone she very much looks up to. That’s the conflict of the event. You can also see it in the screenshot OP posted above. An says Shizuku would look better in a dress, not because she’s more feminine, or because she would feel more comfortable, it’s specifically because she’s a model.

As for whether or not An felt uncomfortable, I don’t think that’s true. I think she was definitely nervous, for the reasons posted above, but she didn’t dislike dressing up. When she first steps out and hears her friends gush about her, she’s blushing and very appreciative:

And ends up being very collected throughout the photoshoot:

In fact, Kohane ends up being the one who needs help calming her nerves. As for An’s own conflict, the reason why Kawasaki didn’t feel that the pictures were coming out quite right until the end, the reason is An’s insecurity.

She had been trying to mimic her role models, and ended up stifling herself. Which is what singing with Kohane allowed her to let loose from

I was glad the writers made the choice to put An in the dress. As a female character who presents herself more ‘traditionally masculine’, in the outfits she usually gets, and in her confident and outgoing personality, I think everyone expected her to wear the suit. But she shouldn’t have to limit herself like that. An doesn’t have a role she is obligated to play, and she doesn’t need to change herself— become more beautiful, mature, or even more feminine— to fit into the dress. An doesn’t fit into the typical stereotypes of a feminine girl, but she is still a girl, and she is happy with her gender identity. In the end, what she ended up learning was that she is at her best when she is being herself, not what she thinks a bride is expected to be. And I think that’s an important lesson for An to be able to learn.

My most controversial pjsk opinion is that I genuinely dislike An's wedding event but I very specifically hate this writing choice.

The in-universe justification for this is Shizuku being taller than An but oh my god. An is just so uncomfortable for most of the entire event in that outfit. She was so excited about wearing a tuxedo as well and basically was shot down when bringing that up. This actually hurts my soul a bit

Something goes wrong with Class 1-A's haunted house...

1, 19, 40 for the writing ask!

1. Which of your fics would you keep the basic plot of but rewrite completely?

Oh boy… If we’re talking ProSeka, then Vivid Snow, Dulling Leaves. It was my first fic in the ProSeka fandom and I was just getting on my feet after being in a small fandom where I wrote a lot of short ideas because people were hungry for content. It’s just… not the best imo and the way I wrote Harumichi was my knee-jerk reaction after reading Nocturne Interlude.

If we’re talking other fandoms, then definitely Chariot Arcana, Rank Up! It was such a good idea, but I wrote it three entire years ago and my writing skill wasn’t good enough to do justice to the idea.

19. Share a no-context snippet from a WIP

(Okay this is cheating a little because I can’t find a non-spoilery snippet from my current WIP so this is a short thing I wrote for inspiration)

That day is so… vivid in An’s memory.

She can remember it like it was yesterday.

It’s burning hot out. It’s the end of June, and she’s ready to get home.

She’s holding her dad’s hand as they’re walking back from the store, holding some ingredients for dinner and a fruit smoothie that An had bought to cool off.

And then Arata and Souma are running down the street together, and An’s about to run to join them and say hi. Maybe offer them a sip of her smoothie.

But before she can take off, everything changes.

And suddenly, everything’s a blur.

The crunch of metal and the sound of Souma hitting the pavement are still so loud in her head.

And she’s running.

Her dad’s barely a step ahead of her, and he pushes through the crowd to kneel next to Souma.

Souma, who’s covered in blood. She can’t tell if he’s breathing.

She tries to push through the crowd, tries to get closer, but suddenly someone’s pulling her away.

She can’t get any closer, no matter how hard she tries, and then she sees an ambulance approaching and her dad is dragging Arata away and she finally manages to break free from whoever’s holding her back and running over to her dad and Arata.

Arata’s screaming, barely coherent, but his struggles are in vain. He can’t keep going much longer.

And after a few more seconds, he’s completely silent.

It’s so quiet. So… dark.

But the screams keep echoing in her head, and then she can feel something.

Someone’s hand is grabbing her.

She tries to pull away, but their grip is too strong.

And then she turns around, and it’s…

It’s Souma?

He’s covered in blood, lying on the ground, and he’s gripping onto An’s arm.

His eyes are so wide, but they’re lifeless.

He’s… he’s…

Then An turns around, and suddenly she sees the same scene with her dad and Arata.

She turns away from them, and it’s Aunt Nagi and Uncle Taiga.

Away from them, and it’s EVER.

Away from them, and Kotaro and Ms. Kawasaki.

Away from them, and it’s Akito and Toya.

And then she finally shuts her eyes, but even that doesn’t stop it.

Because she hears it.

“An-chan… It hurts…” Kohane pleads, and she cracks an eye open slightly…

And she wakes up with a jolt.

She can’t breathe.

She reaches for her phone, and the next thing she knows, she’s dialing a number.

There’s a groan, and…

“This better be fucking important…”

An sighs with relief.

“…Up for some Wii Tennis?” She asks, and there’s the sound of someone scrambling from the other side.

“An-chan? You okay?”

“I had a really bad nightmare. I guess I just went scrambling for my phone on instinct and called whoever came up.”

Arata sighs.

“I’ll be right over.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I was just joking about the Wii Tennis.” An responds.

“Yeah, yeah…”

40. Write a 9-word fic.

(This was the hardest one to do by FAR)

Toya’s breath catches. There’s… so much blood. It’s terrifying.
