them aesthetics

before anything, please note that these are only briefly outlined because I’d like to customize my plots to fit with other muses and discuss more with individual muns.

forbidden fruit.

this is her main love interest, as well as the main cause of angst and drama in her career. she becomes involved with a student in seoul national university (sexually and/or romantically), and begins a secret relationship with her. not only is it a ticking bomb because this was the biggest taboo between student and teacher, between female and female, but also the possibility of unraveling into something more. something victoria can’t let go.

longstanding nemesis

this is flexible, could be a fellow teaching staff, student, or anyone involved in her career. basically, they got off on the wrong foot and since then, have hated each other for an unknown and probably trivial reason(s). they fight, but never directly, and somehow, they bond over fights. they lift each other’s spirits on their worst days with taunts and slowly develop a dependent relationship.

could be purely platonic or romantic.

also could take a turn where one of them becomes absent from a long period of time, causing the other to seek for them (maybe an accident hospitalizing either muse).

part time job, filming with idols

this is especially for general muses or muses in the entertainment industry. as a part time director, she sometimes film music videos with idols. could be a positive relationship where they become friends, or she guides/learns from them etc, or, can develop into enemies.

suitable for not only idols, but managers, makeup artists, costume designers, photographers, etc.

learning korean

part of immigrating to a new place is learning a new culture. victoria is always curious and open-minded, and hence it is no surprised that she is trying to get the full korean experience by learning their language. however, although she is a fast learner, korean is not her forte. she is constantly making hilarious mistakes in speaking and writing, and eventually, she settles down with a new friend who is willing to act as her teacher too.

brief intro –

having practically been born lanky, she had never imagined becoming a piece of art. but one day, as her fifteen year old self struggled to find a path for her future, a man stopped her in her tracks at the sidewalk and offered her an audition.

it was beyond eye opening. she fell in love with the buzz on set, the passion every single staff bore as they filmed from six in the morning to, well, six in the morning. more importantly, she fell in love with film. in another world perhaps her beauty would land her as the world’s top model, but in this one, she was a rising artist who believed dreams can be visualized, and visualized dreams could bring the world a little more colour.
