A personal narrative phase where someone goes through a prolonged stretch of introspection, emotional withdrawal, and quiet intensity — the kind of inner journey that eventually leads to growth but looks like staring at the floor in the meantime. A shoegaze arc isn't depression exactly; it's more like a necessary immersion in your own inner world before reemerging changed. Common after a breakup, a creative block, or any life transition that demands processing. Observers may not notice it happening until the person resurfaces.
A goated arc is the narrative of someone's journey from underdog, failure, or mediocrity to undeniable greatness — the kind of story that gets replayed in highlight reels and documentary intros. It borrows from anime and storytelling vocabulary: an 'arc' implies a full character transformation, not just a hot streak. The goated arc isn't just about performance; it's about the drama of the rise, the obstacles overcome, and the moment the world had to admit they were watching something special.
A rag arc is the personal storyline someone goes through as their frustration escalates, peaks, and eventually (hopefully) resolves. Borrowed from storytelling language, it frames someone's meltdown journey as a character arc worth observing — the slow build, the explosion, the awkward calm after. Used affectionately when recounting a friend's public spiral or your own in retrospect. 'His entire rag arc this week was genuinely cinematic' implies you watched it unfold with detached amusement rather than concern.
The character development phase in someone's life or career when they transition from ordinary to genuinely stunning — the narrative chapter where the glow-up finalizes, the talent locks in, or the aesthetic clicks.

It's distinct from a single gagged moment: it's a sustained trajectory that left observers perpetually catching their breath through an entire era of someone's development.
