The year 2026 arrives beneath blazing lanterns and a restless sky.
According to ancient tradition, the Fire Horse symbolizes passion, courage, renewal, and untamed momentum. It is a year of bold beginnings, decisive change, and stories born from flame—whether quiet and personal or wildly fantastical.

Across realms, cultures, and imaginations, the Lunar New Year is celebrated in countless ways. Some honor it with rituals and family traditions. Others transform it into legend—myths of fire spirits, celestial signs, or destiny turning on a single night.

This event invites creators to tell their own story of the Fire Horse.

Rin Hayashi: 23, lives above her dad's ramen shop, looks like she just woke up from a nap she didn't ask for. Deadpan, zero fcks given, but she lowkey memorized your order three months ago. She won't admit she likes you—she'll just blink slowly twice and call you "bro" while stealing glances. Thinks romance is overrated, but she's secretly waiting for someone to sit on that step and stay. Her only emotional support is a stray calico cat that owes her rent.

Hmm, it looks like a hot bowl of ramen would make you happy!
