I miss you

[royalarchivist]

Jaiden: Do you want to paint? Do you want to paint one last time?

[Osito Bimbo bounces around the room, then nods at a painting hanging on the wall]

Jaiden: Wait did you- did you paint this? You did, didn't you? It's beautiful! It's great! [She looks at the other painting next to Cucurucho] Aw, and you painted this one didn't you? Awww. You're so talented.

[Osito Bimbo throws her a rose]

Jaiden: Thank you! You know I love these roses. [She smells it] Mm! Incredible.

Anyone interested in an ever-growing, Michaelcentric playlist? 🤠 Mostly folksy, a little fun, would love to hear in the tags if anyone finds a new song to love

sitting here wondering if any series of events could ever beat the tension of listening to matt roll a small avalanche of dice behind the screen, over and over, as the group waited to see if the tomb takers survived the intuit charges

happy birthday Yao Luniang(vocaloid 4), Laru Mine(utau), and Meiji Gahata(utau) !!!! [aug 8]

luniang

laru (parse design)

meiji

Yao Luniang was a potential chinese synth developed by Shanghai Wangcheng Information Technology Co. Ltd. in collaboration with NetEase Comics. no new information about her production has been released since 2017 so shes assumed cancelled. her vp and illustrator have not been revealed. luniang is (was ?) NetEase Comics' mascot from 2015, as such she featured in 2 manhua, "Lùniáng Days" and "Suísuíbiànbiàn de Yāolùshān Rìcháng". she likes anime, furry things, and esports. in 2018 netease sold their comic branch to bilibili, so luniang disappeared. she would likely have been a private vocaloid if she was ever released, though this wasnt confirmed. luniang originally had purple hair which changed to red in late 2015, along with changes in her outfit. in 2016 she again changed appearance, most notably her skirt went from red to black. luniang is forever 15 and 163cm tall.

Laru Mine is a japanese synth released in 2010. hes voiced by minato/ winder. i assume laru was mainly drawn by minato as well (??), but i couldnt find that written anywhere. laru is 21yo and 203cm tall. he has no official personality. he is a dragon shark hybrid.

Gahata Meiji is a japanese synth released in 2012. shes created and voiced by Saccu, and illustrated by Souno Kazuki. meiji was also the mascot of the Lifulu shop/ Riffle Shuffle, as such, when saccu cut ties with the shop meiji was discontinued (11 nov 2019). this was POSSIBLY due to the shop maybe misusing meiji or violating her tos. meiji is 16yo and 170cm tall.

August was two blue bikes we don't use now you drive mm-mm

[girlivealwaysbean]

hey hey hey. don't cry. it's the back when we were still changing for the better, wanting was enough, for me it was enough, to live for the hope of it all month in 2 months

[world-of-tomorrow-dreams]

Oh yeah it definitely felt drier than usual this year, this doesn't surprise me. @enbymetalhead and @lightineventide found that the "microgenres" were picked from user playlists, ie if a lot of your songs are found on user playlists with the words "pink" "pilates" "princess" well... that's where it comes from. Still AI to an extent, and it definitely would have been much better if there were more curators who cared about music.

Also I've been keeping up with my last.fm and a lot of the songs in my top 100 are just ...not accurate?? They're all songs I like at least, but having looked at my stats I have absolutely no idea what it counts as being "most played" (there's lots that didn't show up at all that should have been well within my top 50 and vice versa)

im genuinely convinced that they used ai for the monthly thing on spotify wrapped. what do you mean may was my "coastal grandmother ukulele oldies" phase. august was "pink pilates princess strut pop??" no one would say that september was my "sweater weather permanent wave indie" moment. no way we waited so long for this. multiple people and i also noticed that it took a few seconds longer than usual to load, maybe im just impatient but i wouldnt be surprised if that was ai preparing like all of it as i clicked through. spotify has been using a lot of ai lately with the playlist making, dj, playlist cover designer and now whatever this ai podcast thing is.
