Oh my God, Haruka…

I’m reblogging this because I want to stress how pleased I am that people like my portrayal of Sailor Uranus/Haruka.

I had no idea what I was doing and I was a nervous wreck, but I think the take-home lesson for me was “fake it ‘til you make it”, because despite feeling like a total hack the whole time, I think the end result was really successful.

I just wanted to share that with you guys, in case you ever think you’re not talented enough or “pretty” enough or “normal” enough to do something - just rock it anyway. It doesn’t matter that a real agency would never sign me because I’m not tall enough or skinny enough - what matters is that I walked in there faking confidence and I grabbed that sword and I modeled as if I belonged there alongside those real agency models.

And so while I’m still super nervous and embarrassed about the whole thing, I’m also really ridiculously happy and flattered that people like what I’ve put forth here. Thank you for your support! 

It’s confidence like that - not like, self absorbed confidence or even the confidence I see represented generally, but confidence that the day will go on - even if today doesn’t go so well - that is important to remember.

It’s not confidence ‘I’m good enough’ more than it’s confidence 'I have to try this - for myself'. It usually turns out okay! And if not, you can always practice until it does turn out good enough - at least for yourself, to know you improved. I think that’s a positive way to live.

As a Uranus fan, I was both excited Kris got to do it, AND pleased at the result! Way to rock Kanji and Haruka this year~ o_o What a fluid babe~
