"What I'm about to say here stays here....."

Underrated portrayal of Choke is gossip and drama. Ngl

Lots of thoughts in the tags

[thetooncrew]

i think for a long time vocaloid culture was VERY derivative of niconico douga culture where it sort of felt like a secret club only you had access to. i got into vocaloid through my brother and absolutely zero of my friends both online and offline really listened to it aside from maybe one or two songs (most often popipo), so i had nobody to share that interest with. now literally everybody around me knows hatsune miku's name and there are MILLIONS of fans around the world if not nearing a billion. there are COUNTLESS genres specifically tailored to someone's music taste and COUNTLESS producers in the smallest corners of the internet. it makes me feel really nice that vocaloid is something shared with everybody honestly. miku deserves that. Listen to this with me. I love you.

i HATE being a "blah blah new generation of fans don't understand the integrity of the original" guy because 9/10 i am The New Guy stumbling blindly into situations so hopefully this doesn't come across that way but it does sometimes baffle me that a lot of the newer vocaloid fans don't know a lot of the classics. like obviously i understand the passage of time and a lot of newer fans come in from project sekai/the new generation of producers but from like 2010-2017 if you were a vocaloid fan you knew songs from like, the very beginning of vocaloid culture. you knew packaged by kz. you knew melt. you knew rolling girl. you had a whole mental catalogue of vocaloid songs with fan AMVs ripped from niconico with poorly translated titles and shit quality and you ate that shit UP

Vocaloid Tourney Submissions Results and Preliminaries Info

56 out of 64 spots in the bracket have been filled. List of advancing songs is below the cut.

For the preliminaries, there are 86* songs competing for 8 open spots in the bracket. (again, full list below)

The prelims will be structured as follows:

Part A: *2 songs - a mini pre-preliminary round of sorts between two versions of "Play" by shr - the original Kagamine Rin version vs an UTAU cover featuring Matusdappoiyo, since both versions were submitted. The Winner of this round will participate in part B. (One day long)

Part B: 85 songs - 17 matches of 5 songs, with 1 winner each. I will be releasing 3 or 4 matches every other day to stagger them. Winners of part B will move on to part C. (16 days long)

Part C: 17 songs - 2 matches of 8/9 songs, each with the top 4 songs advancing. Both matches will be released the same day (One week long)

if anyone has any objections to this, or any better ideas, lemme know now, bc that was the best I could come up with. I didnt want the first round of matches to be between too many songs at once, as I felt that would probably be less accurate, and more intimidating so less people would listen to all the songs....... idk

Part A will be up TOMORROW, SUNDAY FEBRUARY 4TH, and will only last one day, bc I want to get to the actual prelims. More information on the rest of the prelims will be up during the week.

time taken: 1:30 (1 hour and 30 minutes)

thanks for stopping by!!

[marsti]

something cool i found today

this channel that hasn't posted in 2 years, has just barely over 1k subs, and uploaded unofficial yet oddly professional looking/sounding PINOCCHIOP live concerts

i never knew he even did live concerts! i wonder what the story is there, if the uploader is someone who worked on the concert recordings or if they're some fan who simply asked to have them? either way this is pretty great

EDIT: i have been informed these are all from livestreams that happened during lockdown! so that explains things.

here's common world domination live in case you ever wondered what that sounds like :3

(CW rapid bright flashing from 0:21 to 0:26 and 3:56 to 3:58)

i am especially obsessed with this one and its intro. the way he says "OH YEAAAAAH! THIS IS VOCALOID AND HUMAN MUSIC! I AM PINOCCHIOP! THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE!" just makes me smile! something about the way he places the emphasis

you can also hear him struggle to get through rotten heresy and chocolate

(BLANKET CW rapid bright flashing throughout the video)

i command him for even attempting this one because i tried to learn it in high school (key word: TRIED) and quickly gave up. you can see the nervousness on his face when he's doing the usual thank you speech, if that was me i wouldn't even include that one in the set list.

not gonna include more in this post, these 2 are the ones i really wanted to show, but the channel has 62 uploads so your favorite is probably in there somewhere :3

Which PinocchioP song do you like more?

[colorfulstage-en]

Hey mr. Pjsk whats ur fav song

Even though we all know the best song is either starry sky melody, venom, or mirai

It's hard to chose just one! But out of the ones currently in-game...

I'll chose a commission and a cover

Virtual Singer - Machine Gun Poem Doll + Brain Fluid Explosion Girl

Contest Winner - Sick of House!

Leo/Need - Peaky Peaky + Teo

More More Jump! - Ai No Material + Marshmary

Vivid Bad Squad - Awake Now + Fragile

Wonderlands x Showtime - Glory Steady Go! + Miracle Paint

Nightcord at 25:00 - Lower + Bitter Choco Decoration

Other - Tokugawa Cup Noodle Ban + Don't Fight The Music

If you're curious about all songs and not only current eng ones I've listed them below as well

Virtual Singer - Machine Gun Poem Doll + Rotten Heresy and Chocolate

Contest winner - Judas

Leo/Need - Flyway + Teo

More More Jump! - Parasol Cider + Setsuna Trip

Vivid Bad Squad - Utsuro wo Aogu + Shanti

Wonderlands x Showtime - Mr. Showtime + Childish War (although Ego Rock, It's a Wonderful Cat's Life and Odore Orchestra are very close seconds)

Nightcord at 25:00 - I Nandesu + Gehenna

Other - Be The MUSIC! + Don't Fight the Music

A lot of these are close with others, like it took me a good couple of minutes to decide the Nightcord commission and even then I still really love the songs listed for eng.

Overall though? Glory Steady Go! Is the best song in-game. Solely for nostalgia reasons for me.

FFXIV Write '23, Day 1: Envoy

CW: Language.

"Ser Charibert. Father Dumond. How unexpected of you to visit, and at such a late hour. Will you be coming in for tea? I'm afraid that it might take a little while to boil water - we lost our housemaid not two weeks ago. Thought she would be better off with the Fortemps, she did. As if we don't have enough to pay her well!"

The cracked wooden doors of Grandwell, House Treleaux's manse in the Crozier, were wide open, letting in the "damnable cold" the Lady Sabbatine was never fond of. She - her Ladyship, a Duskwright of minor importance - was wrapped up in her favorite purple and gold evening gown, the clothes looking as faded as their wearer. Her snow white hair was a mess, not done up in buns or a weave, like it would've been if there was time to prepare for guests. She thought to portray the role of the matriarch of her House, aloof and unafraid of her very important guests, but the Ishgardian cold knew her better. They knew her better.

The cold crawled up her arms with ravenous glee, feasting, sending her into shivers. It didn't matter that her favorite blanket was wrapped tight and snug against her bodice, her body well sculpted after years of training in the Knighthood. "Won't you come in?" she said, with a touch of urgency in her voice. It wasn't like the Temple Knights, much less a man of the cloth, to stay in the doorway thus. But they always did look at her with more than a modicum of loathing. She was a thief who stole from the shadows of Gridania to make her fortune, after all. A woman who reported directly to the Consortiums in Ul'dah. Everyone in polite society knew that.

Charibert spoke next. The old elf at his side, dressed in simple blue robes tied up with a white cord, nodded occasionally and held the holy symbol of Halone in front of his wrinkled, cracked lips. It swung in the evening wind, spinning like a bird on the gold chain it was suspended on.

"Lady Sabbatine Treleaux, of the House Treleaux, daughter of the late Ser Armone Treleaux," he said, every word pulsing with the rotten fires of faith that burned in his chest. "Pray forgive our visit. It is late, as you have observed so astutely. We are on rather important business, you understand. Concerns sent down from the Holy See, directing us to your place of residence. These urgent matters, I'm afraid, make it that there is no time for you to entertain us." Dumond nodded again, as Charibert continued. "We will, however, come in, by your invitation. It would be rude to refuse a woman of grace, as yourself."

Dumond scurried past Lady Sabbatine, as cockroaches do when they find a warm hearth to swarm in. His eyes seemed fit to pop out of his head and roll around on Grandwell's treasures and antiques, fewer though they were in recent years. Such a toad of a man!

But clever Wards knew their way around toads - humanoid or not - so as to overhear the Lady of the house in a tense meeting with Temple Knights. A Ward, such as the "hyur" Minuet Chocolate du Treleaux, who, despite their youthful appearance, had experienced much since their exodus from the faraway land of Othard. She was so clever as to sneak out of her bed chambers, undetected by any of Treleaux's remaining servants, and press herself right up against a wall that bordered the living room, the wall hollow enough to catch most of the conversation herself.

It wasn't good. Charibert was accusing her Ladyship of harboring a dragonspawn, in addition to being a heretic herself, a Dark Knight. A "Grey-eared witch, with a scaled devil suckling from her teat, has no place in the good city of Ishgard," he said. Someone must have seen Minuet without the shawl she kept over her ears - a way to keep herself hidden from the eyes of the inquisitors. But, it was more than just the accusations of heresy, wasn't it?

"You will be brought to trial, where you will be tried for charges of heresy, and put to death if found guilty, which, I assure you, you will be. You have until the first light of tomorrow morn to settle your business and say your goodbyes. Your heresy will be burnt out of you, my Lady, by all means necessary."

The toad spoke up for the first time. "A-Additionally, House Treleaux is dissolved, as such horrendous witchcraft cannot, will not be tolerated! N-no! H-House Dzmael will be the rightful owner and executor of all their, your, assets. Lady Sabbatine," he croaked. "Vile witch. I s-shall take great delight in seeing your hellspawn burn before Halone's radiant gaze. Mm. Yes."

-----

As soon as Charibert and Dumond left, Lady Sabbatine knew that her candle was nearly out. If Lady Sabbatine was to die - no. She would go out reminding Ishgard of the rot deep inside its heart, sword in hands. Her kingdom had lost its need for gallant knights long ago.

Lady Sabbatine found her ward, her lost lamb in the woods, sobbing in the hallway. The poor girl was slumped against the wall, hand up against the cracking paint in an attempt to steady herself. Not so long ago, her Minuet was ambushed by bandits in the snows near Dragonhead. She would have died a frozen wretch, if not for a knight of Onyx Shade who happened to be riding nearby, and decided to teach her the ways of honorable combat. How much like a storybook...

With armored glove, Sabbatine lifted the girl's chin up. "A squire should not despair," she said with eerie calm, "even when the blade is closest to one's neck. For what is your sword to do, but parry and give yourself room to fight back?"

Minuet sniffled, and reached out to hug her Lady, her adopted mother. It was a warm embrace, in the midst of looming tragedy. "Don't go," she whispered. "We could run away together, couldn't we? Go somewhere, like Limsa, or places East."

"And what would that solve, Minuet? Nothing. All it would do is prove that the Church is right, that we are monsters worthy only of burning in the hellsfire. Monsters who flee at the mention of Halone's grace." Lady Sabbatine brushed tears away from Minuet's eyes. "Cry all you need, and when you're done, Modeste will have a gift for you, from me. But you can't open it until you're ready. Promise?"

Minuet gave a muffled "Yes."

"Good. Then I have needs to attend to, my dear. Twelve be good to you."

-----

If everything went according to plan, Minuet should be far from Ishgard by the break of morn - maybe already on the island if the merchant Sabbatine hired was fast enough. In her packs would be a purse of gil, a fresh change of clothes, and a letter of introduction to the acting guildmaster of the Arcanist's Guild, Thubyrgeim Guldweitzwyn. The guildmaster was to call Minuet by her chosen name, Minti Chocolate, and teach her ward in the ways of summoning. It would have to be enough for her to start anew, away from Ishgardian eyes. Maybe, just maybe, she would never find the crystal in which her Lady's memories were kept. Maybe it would just be a pretty gem in her possession.

Lady Sabbatine, for her part, had a trial to attend. She would give Ser Charibert a rousing defense.
