Okay round 2 happened today. After 4 days of rest, I ran another 5k and I managed to do the whole thing without slowing to a walk or cramping side. 35 minutes. My best was 32. I'm still at a beginner level but I really want see under 30 minutes.

Great discussion! I like seeing different viewpoints from other anime fans. Edit by https://ultimate-tictactoe.io a day ago

I took my concepts into another AI art engine and made some improvements to the codex for some more dramatic pictures to get some inspiration from. This is as probably as good as my design is going to get without actually hiring an artist. Next up, I'm going to try and get a character promo video done with some lines voiced. I have the voice clip, just gotta lip sync it to a video and hope that it works the first time because of the huge credit cost.

I imagine I look a bit awkward listening to music sometimes. I'm a maladaptive daydreamer, so it's easy to get lost in the scenarios I make up inside my head.

Some things in life are just gonna be one sided and thats okay. I think expecting anything in the same environment is just going to lead to repetated failure if it involves someone.

That sounds like an incredibly busy day, but I hope the wedding was really fun at least? I've never been to one myself. I've attended more funerals than weddings tbh XD. But, at least you managed to get it done...even if it was incredibly late into the night.
