While we're here, too, please also consider reading these points to support few other frequently-asked queries through our Anon, and we thought it'd be nice to just let everyone know openly!

1. Every avatars/muses are very much welcomed here, whether it'd be 2D, 3D, et cetera. Long as you can be responsible if there's any limitations in using the said muse!

2. Though this has been stated through our Tumblr page, wouldn't hurt to repeat that the door is open for everyone without any exception: Male, Female, Non-Binary with any orientations & any positions.

3. There is no preferred platforms in putting your portfolio into. Everyone has the freewill to use either Medium, Telegraph, Carrd, Craft, Notion, Telegram Channel, et cetera. What counts into the consideration point is how you'd present yourself into that one portfolio, what kind of things are vital enough for you to decide to put them in the portfolio, and no usage of AI engines (and this point also applies to interview answer).

4. There will never be specific targets to fulfill in terms of minimum amount of SPM, clients, schedule. We thrive to keep this environment fitting into everyone's own time, you may adjust all of that according to your preference and comfort! However, in context of social interactions, it is rather a mandatory for talents to (at least) show up once in a while both in the groupchat and on our channel when there's the chance.

5. We've mentioned this several times previously, but the salary cut goes from 10% for non-benefit-taking sessions, and 14% for ones that come with benefits. Each session has the maximum of 3 benefits, and no additional funds would be charged. Paid additional requests will also go 100% to the talent, without getting into the aforementioned salary cut. Further concerns about case example of how the salary applies and benefits we provide, you may go to our Anon to equip our benefit storage link.

6. Please avoid waiting for us to give you the permission to send your portfolio. Much highly advised if you greet us while bringing the portfolio along to save time!

Perhaaaps, that'd be all for now, our precious ones! We'd definitely keep you updated for any further news, but these should cover enough before we wrap up the recruitment tomorrow. Thank you once again for all the love and enthusiasm you've shown throughout this recruitment! We can't wait to read the rest of your submissions, and we wish every one of you the very best! Möge alles gut gehen, 울 영원한 사랑스러운 아기드리! :3 🍀

Good afternoon, aegiiis! As promised yesterday, it's now well past the announced deadline, which means our recruitment has officially come to an end. ;_)

To everyone who completed both the portfolio and interview stages, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We truly appreciate the time, care, and dedication you've put into every part of your application. It means so much to us that you chose to spend your efforts with us once again. No matter what the results may be, we hope you'll be proud of yourself for making it this far. Your sincerity and hard work never went unnoticed, and we're incredibly grateful for every submission we've received. ♥︎

We'll now be taking some time to carefully review each application. Please look forward to our final announcement, which will be shared within the next 1–2 days. Until then, thank you once again, and we hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! Gutes Gelingen! 🍀🕊

With the recent weekened's service coming to an end, we've officially reached the final chapter of Dining Studio's latest chef-picked selection journey. After carefully reviewing every dish and conversation by all of the recruitees, we've finalized the newest Diners who will soon be joining our kitchen by the time this letter is sent, with total of 6 new names in the kitchen. Due to personal reasons, we are keeping everyone's identity anonymous until we can debut them properly, thus please check your personal inbox/DM to see if you've received a message from Mamaobei (@Meiyokk) within 5 minutes—if you do, congratulations that you will now start cooking with us through the rest of your journey!

To everyone who cooked for us, thank you for sharing your time, effort, and passion with us. Every dish was tasted with genuine interest, and we truly appreciate the trust you've placed in Dining Studio. Whether this time led you to our table or not, we sincerely hope this won't be our last meeting. Until our kitchen opens its doors again, please take good care of yourselves. Thank you once again, and we'll see you again very soon. Until then, remember to eat well, as by doing it means you're living to love well and loving to live well. 🍽️🤍

Eventideeee, our aegideeeeul! It has been such a pleasure to make such a big decision for the house. Should this new message reminds you to check your DMs, as Mama has sent everyone their invitations. Meanwhile we are here too, please let us remind you that acceptance is never a matter of win or lose in this house. Everyone has been equally hardworking and impressive, and how we wish to have the bigger space to offer, at least enough for everyone to be accepted without any exceptions. And that is totally on us now that we fail to serve that chance... 🥹 Regardless, pleaaase never let this belittle what you've done. Promise that we know you have better chance and better shine elsewhere, one where they know to water you into a prettier growing-seedling! 🌱

Through this chance, too, we would love to refresh everyone's spirit by taking a sweeter chance with our dear neighbours; Stillmatter who has just opened the chance of taking a closer step into the angels' den, Murdoch who still reserves a space in their ship to sail through the ocean, and Hearterms who will make sure to wrap up their beach party & any fun plans within tomorrow night! We would also send our warmest congratulations to the newest additions of Nima Fain, which every name would be mentioned in our chant of silverware prayers & greenery stocks. Psst, they are gearing up for a free-charge event, make sure to grab as many freshly farm-picked supplies as you can! 👀 Everyone deserves their own bite of happiness, and we believe to help putting every chances to each plates around, so please devour them as effectively as possible. Keep your tummy and lucky chance full, everyone! 🍴🍀

IF THEY MET US:
WOULD THEY KNOW US?


I sometimes think about the person I was twenty years ago. Not because I want to become them again, but because I wonder what they thought becoming an adult would feel like. Maybe I’d like to meet them again.

(Did they imagine me like this? Did they imagine the things I would love, the people I would meet, the things I would carry? Did they know that somewhere along the way, I would become too busy to play, too tired to wonder, too grown to admit that I still wanted the same little things?)

THE CHILD WE CARRY —
IS WHAT WE KEEP,
& WHAT WE OUTGROW FROM


There was a time when growing up sounded like a promise. We thought twenty years would be enough to become someone certain, someone accomplished, someone our younger selves would look at with wonder. And yet, here we are, still carrying the same small hungers. — To be curious. To be held. To make something for no reason. To laugh without checking the time. To find an afternoon worth remembering simply because it was ours.

Perhaps growing up was never meant to be an eviction. Perhaps the younger self does not disappear; they simply move to a quieter room within us, waiting for the door to be opened again. The table is still there. We only have to remember our way back.

THE THINGS THAT REMAIN:
LITTLE PROOFS
OF WHO YOU WERE. 🌳
⠀⠀

The years leave their evidence everywhere. You think you have outgrown a person simply because you have grown around them. But memory is stubborn.

It leaves fingerprints on the life you build, crumbs beneath the table, handwriting in the margins. The child does not always ask to come back. And perhaps this is what growing older really means: less becoming someone new, more discovering how many old selves have been living inside you all along.
