Grabs your hand.

Hatsune Miku is not an established character with solid lore.

Hatsune Miku is only sixteen if the song calls for it. She does not have set lore, she does not have set features, she is not always a girl, she is not always alive. Sometimes she's god, sometimes she dies- she has been in love with Luka, Rin, Len and Kaito- all within diffrent PROJECT DIVA MUSIC VIDEOS.

IT DEPENDS ON THE

PRODUCER!!!!!!

Project Sekai literally shows this- there's like 6 Miku's and each one is different depending on the group MAKING MUSIC WITH HER.

SOMETIMES SHES AI- SOMETIMES SHES THE DEMON KNOWN AS SLOTH- SOMETIMES SHE HAUNTS THE NARRATIVE- SOMETIMES SHES JUST EMO!!!!

MUCH LIKE REN AND LEN SHE HAS NO SET LORE. NO SET FACTS. SHE IS SIXTEEN SHE IS 1000 SHE IS A CAT GIRL SHE IS DEAD SHE IS A MURDERER. SHE IS IN A MENTAL ASLYUM SHE IS AN AI SHE IS THE CONCEPT OF MUSIC.

MIKU DOESNT EVEN ALWAYS HAVE BLUE HAIR!!!! (IN Mekakucity Actors 2014 ‧ Drama- SHE GETS BLUE HAIR EVENTUALLY YEAH, BUT HER CHARACTER STARTED WITH BLACK HAIR)

The only constant about Miku....is that she has pigtails- SIKE THERE'S LIKE 10 DIFFRENT MIKUS IN BASE GAME PROJECT DIVA THAT DONT EVEN HAVE PIGTAILS!

MIKU IS A VOICEBANK- HER DESIGN IS EVER CHANGING- SHE IS NOTHING MORE THEN A VECHICIAL FOR STORY TELLING.

CULTURAL MIKUS ARE FINE- ADULT MIKUS ARE FINE- NON-HUMAN MIKUS ARE FINE- MIKU AUS ARE FINE- MIKUO (BOY MIKU) IS FINE.

SHE IS A PAPERDOLL THAT IS YOURS TO CHANGE. HAVE FUN!

THE WORLD IS HERS AND SHE'S THE WORLDS!

Wicked truly is just like, the Autistic Black engineering student wants to fix the world's injustices by asking for help from the president, but when she gets there he's the CEO of Lockheed Martin and is asking her to pretty please build him some bombs please, and also her performative-woke white liberal girlfriend who didn't take maths or science but thinks "bombs are cool" is there

rip george hodgson you should have been a middle school music teacher

penelope (or how the odyssey was really written)

the title do be giving ao3 lol. wasnt at all what i was expecting! had me cackling in places & clutching my pearls in others XD

being only 23 songs its pretty quick paced and gives you mere glimpses into penelopes perspective more than anything, but all in all very groovy and enjoyable (thoughts below and ofc spoilers lol)

love the prologue! stronk start :]

prayed very hard this wasnt going to take the direction i thought it was and it didnt thank god.

BARBERSHOP QUARTET SUITORS SENT MEEEEEE

its so funny omg, same vibes as the tavern folk from rapunzel :D

gagged a little tho theyre very delulu, almost as bad as paris lol

shes gonna be miiiiiiiiiiiiiine

the note pen hits at: not this hero that i dont know made me *ascend* (theres a point or two btw where it gets a little suggestive)

WHO TF IS DAPHNE

me @ antinuous: sang it girlfriend!!!!!! giggling so hard wtf

simba walked so antinuos could run fr, when im king is a bop lol

NOT THE ANTICLEA JUMPSCARE :')))))

telemachus being eager to smash the skulls of the suitors fearing the sight of blood above all is so funny to me. poor tele XD

it took me 8 songs to realise that this was a somewhat modern setting lol, selfie with the oracle of delphi caught me so off guard

THE ODY AND TELE BONDING WE ALL DESERVED!!!!

hilarious actually really enjoyed their dynamic (we need a plan)

ody had it coming to him. get his ass penelope

a cappella suitors have my heart lol

NOT THE BEE GEES REFERENCE AHAHAH

greek tragedy joke was a little on the nose lol

i love love love the idea that penelope just swam off (naiad muffin hell yeah) and ody swam after her, which if u take into consideration the trauma of 10 years at sea its a pretty significant gesture i think

LAST NOTE IS MAJESTIC AAAAAAAA

--

idk its a very interesting twist on the narration and in all fairness far too short to really flesh anyone out, but for a penelope centric musical i was expecting something something a little more?

went to look the musical up and read a little more about it and found this gem. forget everything i said this renaissance painting suffices:

THE EMO, THE GIRLYPOP, ANTICLEA JUMPSCARE II. ITS PERFECT

--

oh and also tiresias ate and left no crumbs lmao, all i could think of was a cover is not the book- esque performance so i had to draw it lol (sorry its awful)

its the letter from hell song, at 03:20 . do yall see the vision?

bonus emo tiresias, hes supposed to be wearing pomegrante themed accessories idk how obvious that is lol. eh enjoy :D

“I’d like to play you another song about suicidal depression. It’s about – if you are a certain type of person – me – . . . uh, you hear about somebody who did something horrible and drastic and you feel bad, but there’s a part of you that goes, ‘what, that’s, now I know, now I recognize my kind, because he did that.’ So this is about a guy who did a terrible thing and he couldn’t live with the memory of it, and so he went and did a worse thing, and it’s called ‘Cry for Judas.’”

- John Darnielle, frontman of the Mountain Goats

ryomina for the splatoon plaza! they are listening to music ☺💗

Thinking about season 4 and Vecna and how it makes no sense. I'm just baffled thinkin' about it and wanna vent a lil.

Why did he make it a ritual? He didn't have to do that. There was no reason he had to torment people with visions for a week other than... what? so we can see he enjoys tormenting others? We got that message when we learned he wanted to murder his entire family for no reason.

Stranger Things is sci-fi for its genre, not fantasy. He wasn't like, actually casting a spell that he needed to follow an exact ritual for to make it happen, or even having a fear that deviating would make the spell go wrong. Because it's not a spell.... that could... go wrong. It's just Vecna being a wierdo.

When taking Max didn't work in the graveyard, why didn't he immediately take Patrick to keep his timeline? Why did he wait? And on that vain, why was it important to know when Eddie's watched died to see when Vecna takes vistims because... he tried to take Max at a different time then the others. It was board daylight in the middle of a cemetery. Why that deviation? What was the point of a schedule he was willing to break but only for Max?

Also, they gave us that scene of Vecna like... reading everyone's minds all rapid-like to show how easy all this was for Vecna. How did he not know about them coming to try and kill him? and if he did know, why didn't he just... do it an hour sooner so he'd be done before they ever got to him? Why not send all the demobats while they were using power tools to fortify the trailer?

It's silly to think Vecna wouldn't spy on them again after he gave Nancy that message. That he wouldn't be using them to try and find Eleven. Dude hass got So Much Free Time. The cursing takes like, what, 20 minutes outta his day??? What's he doing with the rest of his 23 hours and 40 minutes?

Vecna was a shit villain who could have been terrifying, and the show falls flat on that.

Imagine how much for horrifying it would be to try and make a plan you can't actually plan because the enemy will know what you've planned if you actually plan it? Imagine the stress added if everyone is trying to constantly think of other things so Vecna can't gleam any information for them.

i cannot tell u how many times ive watched this in the last 12 hours

[slytherin-syon]

i made the mistake of listening to the pjo musical while also being on a spy x family kick and came to the horrifying realization that Damian is so Annabeth-coded, particularly combining their ambitions with the trauma of being seen as invisible and their determination to prove themselves....

so, here is a damian-centric amv to the song "My Grand Plan"

[icewindandboringhorror]

"We can get through this by working together, reach out to your friends, community is all we have, a social network will be your security in the world, now is the time to lean on others!"

I do agree, and it's scientifically sound (pretty sure there is data about how people with better social networks live longer and etc) but also....augh..... what about the severe social issues, difficulty to leave the house, physical issues which lead to like zero socialization energy a majority of the time, etc. etc. Social support can be a replacement for structural support, but.. I guess I just wish it didn't have to be. Community is extremely difficult to build, even moreso if you're someone who has issues with social cues or group conversations or even just being around others in the first place. And blah, nuance, of course I'm just complaining or maybe being too negative or maybe misunderstanding, but, I hardly have the energy to brush my hair once every 2 months.. how am I supposed to maintain a wide social network and be active in a Community and Join Groups lol... sometimes it kind of feels like "er.. well if thats my only option then...... ruh roh". It's overwhelming

this is just a me kvetching thing but you cant put multiple full albums from one or two artists together and call it a playlist. a playlist is the close cousin to the mixtape; it's curated, it's organized, it's not just slapped together. three full albums is just albums . i dont need these to be in a separate spot to enjoy them i can just listen to the album. if you entitle your playlist something specific i expect to find diverse yet related musical entries that all relate to that topic, not . three albums .
