Guess I must be a fake Mermaid Melody fan because I have no idea what you're talking about. Aren't the main 3 princesses 14? They have to be adults in Aqua if they have kids now.

No what I mean is, the difference between mermaids' age (as in bilogical so let's say 14) and then how they'd be really old if they were humans (like being 13-14 in mermaid age = 18 in human age because the aging process is different)

So when I rememeber the old 15 years and a half VS 31 for Teto, it kinda reminds me this x'D As in, one age would be like the mermaids' age and then the equivalent would be the human equivalent

More than 80% of the Vocaloid songs that come up on my feed are depressing, sad, or downright violent songs in some way. If I saw maybe half the songs I see being like that, then that would've been fine, but the problem is that there are just too many of them

Exactly the issue I have with finding new vocaloid songs. I can think of a grand total of 2 modern producers that make happy, cute vocaloid songs: Jamie Paige and ilyeucli. IDK if irucaice counts because I only started listening to them just today.

You gotta remember that the Vipperloids (Teto, Ruko, Ritsu, Tei, Rook, Miko, etc.) were created by trolls on what is basically the Japanese version of 4chan, so any "biographical information" they may have is ultimately just a joke. Combined with the usual vocal synth standard of "nothing is canon", and you can basically just do what you want with them forever. My version of Teto is a dysfunctional 31-year-old failwoman, Ruko is a 12-year-old intersex trans girl living with her 19-year-old brother Rook, and Ritsu is a 14-year-old GNC trans boy. It's all good!

My issue with modern Vocaloid songs as a fandom oldie is that they're just not as memorable as the songs that were published between 2008 and c. 2015. Might be just my age and a lack of time to really dig around for new songs compared to when I was younger, but newer songs simply don't stick around in my brain compared to the older tracks. There's even been a few cases where I save a song I initially like onto my YouTube Vocaloid playlist, forget about it for a while, then I come back to it and I realise it wasn't as interesting as I initially thought, so I delete it.

Controversial post incoming - I've long been baffled as to how the Western fandom adopted Ritsu and Ruko as LGBT icons, despite them being originally conceived as troll characters with LGBTphobic implications (and especially considering that Ritsu's creator has expressed support for Donald Trump in the past). At the very least, the "nothing is canon" rule has meant that Ritsu and Ruko have gained far more respectful interpretations over the years (their VBs actually sounding good also helps a lot).
