I'm sorry I let down my guard.

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!

My cover of Monolith by T. Rex :)

This is actually just a rerecording of my cover from several months ago, it's not really much different but I wanted it to have a fuller sound (at least as full as my phone recording app could get it lol), and I was just in the mood to play the song again. I was obsessed with it last December and I still can't get enough of it aaaaa

Here's the cover photo btw, it's an edit of a Marc doodle which was part of a bigger sketch dump :)

Both versions, I decided on the more reddish one but I like the pink one too

And yeah I guess I'll be dropping covers and maybe improvised music and stuff on Soundcloud because why not

A song about making my own personality cult that no one would ever fall for...

[luxcruor]

i’m gay and emo everyone ( and a weeb )

[whothefuckiskatlyn]

trust in me, I will rise

through the fire, in the sky

set me free, ancient lies

is this peace divine?

[diodellet]

ooohh that ask game has some interesting questions hmm how abt 16, 18, and 23?

i am realizing just how much this ask game is making me bare my soul goshhh (/not srs), thanks for sending me an ask, bibi!

16. What makes you immediately close a fic that otherwise seemed good?

hm...well, most of the time i try to stick it out even if i'm not enjoying the fic from the first few sentences. like, maybe it's just me but a lot of the first words of a fic tends to be the (for lack of a better word) "the gunk" that precedes the actual story? like some stories just have slow starts, but they do get gud.

but to answer the q, i guess stuff that makes me roll my eyes at a fic, in the context of x readers would probably have to be:

disclaimer: most of the time, i don't mind reading these. but there are just moments where they bother me as i'm reading

reader getting carried bridal style (i dont like it, i hate it. id rather be carried like a sack of potatoes. or id rather be carried like a goat by its shepherd. but i do like seeing characters getting princess-carried) just carry me like this instead 🤧🤧👇

royalty AU++CEO/office/corporate-setting AU (like secret princess of a kingdom or being a secretary, for example) i'm not a big fan of those kinds of settings. like ok sure a chara can look good in business formal or in some fine furs, but once the eye candy wears off thats when i exit the fic oops.

fics centered around marriage: i don't really enjoy reading proposals. also thinking of how the rings, the dresses, and the flowers look is hard bcs of my (partial?) aphantasia, but weddings Are Pretty Fun as a background setting. overall, i think what bothers me most is that the chara loses a bit of their personality after they get wed together with the reader.

^^actually in relation to this... im not that big of a fan of prom/dance settings, they both read very similarly, especially since the reader tends to be placed in the more passive role of being asked out. (but when you make it angsty or hurt/comfort, ok i will read it i'm a simple girl)

Oh and ig this is just me wishing for more in the Imposter-SAGAU genre of fanfic (i mean i'm still looking around, i don't feel desperate enough to write smth of my own), but i kinda wish the charas weren't so doe-eyed and quick to apologize to the reader. like, i get the feeling of wanting to write The Good Bits Immediately (e.g. being fawned over, getting to lord that blunder over the characters) but the potential of slowburn trauma recovery and developing a relationship from straight-up antagonism is Right There.

18. What media do you want to get into because of artists/writers you like?

i think i'd want to try reading more poetry? like, if i rb a lot of web weaving, i gotta know sumn other than "deep" pop lyrics (u wont find me saying nice things about ms sw*ft). so far i'm thinking of starting with ocean vuong and richard siken (basic ik but i mean, their works are good)

dunmeshi! i've been putting it off for forever 🙈🙈 (<-girlie watched frieren and forgor abt dunmeshi bcs they got yorushika to do the 2nd OP) but senshi,,,, SENSHI THE MAN THAT U ARE,,,,

Oh! and i'm rlly curious about alien stage! my sibling's dipping into it and he told me it was basically america's got talent x the promised neverland. and he said the magic words "toxic yaoi" and "doomed yuri," i Gotta watch it atp. (also like, carole and tuesday rearranged my brain, im ready to put a sadder spin on it😤)

23. What would you make a 5 hour video essay on, if you had enough time and motivation?

as soon as i read this all my hyperfixations have: left the server HAHAHA

maybe in terms of recent ones, i could try analyzing madds buckley's my love is sick. i wrote about that album for a final paper in a basic music elective, but i was constrained to only 3 pages so i only talked about 2-3 songs. but i could pretend to be a music major and regale ppl with how the leitmotifs tie together and completely destroy me add a new layer of meaning to the songs on subsequent listens. Also like, these songs just Get It (not sure what "it" is exactly, but there's smth related to first love and love lost*)

(but atm im just yoinking songs from there to use for fic/chapter titles, i plan on using one for this ruggie timeloop angst fic im plotting out anyway)

(art appreciation ask questions, please bug me to rb some underrated art and fic)

Why. Are y’all adding that you’re white in that big popular rap post. Just shut the fuck up stop making disclaimers like you’re afraid of black tumblr users just fucking talking. Like instead of saying “wow my fellow white people we have to try harder” or “I mean im white but I love rap!” or variations of those like. Either don’t say anything or don’t disclaim it makes you look like you’re actively trying not to sound racist which makes you sound like a little baby OR it makes you sound like you’re taking this chance to flagellate about how sorry you are like. Just fucking change your behavior without expecting a pat on the back

April 30th - E.T. Blues

It’s April 30th, 2024; Here’s an original rock song about extraterrestrials! Yes, go figure. A song about E.T. makes sense from a couple who used to work for the Space Center, eh? Haha! We’ve got the E.T. Blues indeed. Humorous lyrics and a swingin’ sound. What could be better! And we even get a tad political in this one too. LOL! This is another one of my favorite songs. With vocals from Bubba…

[nervousmonolith]

trying to be cool and mysterious but the absolute banger zombie song starts playing

[noisytenant]

get so sad when someone quotes a bad opinion to create a rebuttal, and the rebuttal is really good. i dont like putting the bad opinion on the tumblr blog because it makes me sad. i want to share the good things because they are good.

Song Recs! Vgm Ost! (Part 1)

Have you heard of Elebits? (Eledees for all the PALs out there)

It's a cool game about capturing little light creatures because you're playing as a kid with mostly absent parents (because they spend so much time at their jobs working with the light creatures).

It has a soundtrack that I really like, that kinda comes in 2 flavors

Vibey Synth Stuff and Darker Bluesy Stuff

And I very much enjoy these two flavors, so I'll be listing some of my favorite songs (or maybe all of them) from this soundtrack (composed by Naoyuki Sato and Michiru Yamane)

As usual, songs names are linked, followed by things I like about the song.

Vibey Stuff

Story Mode Menu

Very sparse synth chords, cool distorted violin sound

Tutorial

Pretty piano, awesome breakbeat-ish drums (plus a solo), very washy compressed sound (especially the ride)

Editing mode

Cool marimba-ish sound, piano pad, kinda got a samba feel tbh

Extras menu

My favorite on the soundtrack

6/8, compressed-ass drums, cool pad on the 1 during first section

Sparse second section with interesting chords, cool as hell drum fills leading back into first section

Multiplayer mode

Kinda radio-ish at the start, quick EP flutters, mellotron-ish violin, synth in right ear

Options menu

Very soft and calming, piano w/delay in right ear, CAJON

Mission results and Final results

Love the bouncy feel in the first one, love the sleigh bells in the second, love the sub bass in both

Mom & Dad's room

Kinda between both styles. Cool horns and ambient EP. Feels kinda shiny

The silent kitchen

Plucky bass, has a background pad that seems a bit off tune but in a good way

Quiet in the living room

Very plucky EP, same pad as previous I think, the ep with a delay effect near the end reminds me of Minecraft

Shadow in the garage and My town

Intro kinda makes you think it's the other genre haha, cool organ, cool groove, cool marimba in the second one, the speed of the second one makes me think of Spain by Chick Corea

World without weight and The secret room

The synth pad makes me think of the soundtrack of the game Monolith, kinda odd chords sometimes

Totally topsy-turvy and Big to-do in town

First one is simple and calm, love the delay synth/EP near the end, second one is more energetic and groovy and has a marimba solo (kinda)

To the amusement park! and An Elebit state of mind?!

First one hits hard, cool lead synth, reminds me of DSCO by Sweet Trip, second one is more subdued + cajon again

Fancy some candy? and Puzzle panic

Rare instance where the first song is the slower one

Has my favorite chord change in it, first has weird-ass funky bassline, second has less-weird-but-still-funky bassline

A spaceship fantasy

Ambient dnb shit pretty cool

Shopping in style and My favorite hero show

Kinda evil and funky but the second one is more triumphant in the main section

Me and my little war and Me, Elebits, and fate

Zora's domain called

Cool and sparkly and then a waltzy thing

Sky, sea, and land (bosses)

Takes the melody from the trailer video

Vs the zero Elebit

Cool bass. can't figure out what it reminds me of (Black Sunshine by White Zombie? TF2?)

In the next post I'll cover the other half of the soundtrack plus any stragglers that don't fit either bill.
