  • Pouring one out for the Color Voices tonight. I’m out of vodka, so I hope protein-enhanced chocolate soy milk honors their memory just as well. 😔
    I posted my new fic last night... and it's already got a comment, praising it as a masterpiece, praising my depiction of PTSD, and confessing that they cried while reading it. It's from a reader who read my stuff while I was on Tumblr, so maybe they're seeing my works through rose-colored glasses, but...

    It's been three years since I got a comment like that on ANYTHING I've written, so naturally I'm going to frame it and hang it in my room.
    Me? Writing an original, all-new Kung Fu Panda fanfic in 2022, five years after leaving the fandom proper? It's more likely than you think.
    I threatened to start calling Patuk “Patch” or “Patchy”, because it matches how she calls me Peach/Peachy. I was anticipating laughter or even a joking “Call me that and we’re breaking up” or something.

    Catching me completely off-guard, she unironically loved it. I pointed out that Patchy is the name of the pirate from SpongeBob, complete with a gif of him flying through the air and crash-landing through a house. She still loved.

    Peachy Cheeks loves her Patchykins is what I think this post is trying to say, and that’s a string of words I never anticipated I’d actually type.
    Well, for reasons I’m genuinely unsure of, I’m laid up in bed and my neck and back are in excruciating pain. But! I managed to tune a little bit before giving in, aaaaaaaand I think I can have another cover up by Saturday at the latest! I’m happy, because it features Rikka. I’m only about ten months late to the party, but hey, I’m finally showcasing her!

    Ideally I could have it up by Wednesday, because all that’s really left to do is mix it. But if this pain persists I don’t think I’ll be able to do much of anything. Here’s hoping 😅

    Hope you feel better soon!
    Ah, I’m really happy! Tonight our entire Print department had dinner and went bowling together. I was nervous, because I haven’t actually hung out with any of them outside of work, but I had so much fun! I got a little drunk while bowling and I’m still fairly dizzy, but my Print manager assured me I didn’t say or do anything uncouth, so I choose to believe her.

    We’re discussing doing this more often. I really hope it sticks.
    Have we gotten any updates on that male English AI vocal for SynthV we're supposed to be getting eventually? Because I've got two songs that I really, REALLY wanna attempt that he might be good in...

    I feel you he sounds so natural and well rounded. He is something we really haven't had at this level. I wonder how his range will sound. I'm super excited for him and solaris and the medium5 banks it's such a exciting time. I can't believe synthVs ai is only around a year and has come this far

    Honestly, Saki, Anri, and this guy are the only AI banks I particularly care for, but I'm always happy to add another male vocal to my collection, especially one in English. I don't think anyone will ever top Songman for me, but I am looking forward to the new SynthV guy!
    Oh shit, Yuri on Ice turned 5. Happy anniversary to one of the greatest anime in recent history, and please for the love of God come back to us this year, I'm begging you!

    Well, with the power of AI, I now have the instrumental for a super obscure Teto song that I've always adored!

    Unfortunately, it's so obscure that the lyrics aren't even published anywhere, so I'm having to pick them all up by ear. It's gone well so far, but I've spent the better part of half an hour trying to make out one single line to no avail. It sounds roughly like "Sarari sarasarappo moe wo ojiru" or something along those lines, but all attempts at translating that line result in nothing but gibberish. Most of it makes sense to me except the random "po/bo" that's thrown in there, because it doesn't seem to connect to any of the surrounding words in a way that makes grammatical sense? Even if the grammar is wrong, eliminating it at least gives me stuff that I know are words with my limited Japanese.

    Aaaaaaaaaaah please help 😭

    Same!! I got all of my content from iTunes in the V2 era. And thank you! I just… I dunno. No matter how hard I try, I can’t hear that one syllable as “to”, or anything but “po” or “bo”. It could just be a consequence of being an early Teto song, though; there’s other sections where I can tell what’s supposed to be said, but it sounds like something different. I’ll give this a shot and see. Thank you!

    Oh thank GOD I found the lyrics. They were tucked away behind a tiny little button on the song's KarenT page. God, I was SO off on so many things :clara_ani_lili:

    EDIT: we were both wrong. It's "ko". THAT DOESN'T FUCKING SOUND LIKE KO

    So this has been sweeping social media, but I wanted to share it here too, because damn I love this:

    Betty White would've been 100 on the 17th. In her memory, there's a huge movement going on to organize donations to local animal shelters. I'm trying to see if there's something more formally organized in my town, but either way, I'm planning on donating food and money to the shelter I adopted Peter and Lucy from.

    I've seen people say "Shit, Betty White noped outta 2022, how much worse is it gonna be?", but I'm of the belief she grabbed 2021 by the neck, said "You're coming with me, bitch!", and saved us all. It's a nice thought, anyway.
    Ah!! I ordered Nana V4 Complete a few days ago, and AHS is resuming their services on the 5th, which is like... today, technically, I think it's already the 5th in Japan. So pretty soon I'll have another lovely lady in my collection~

    Ah, that whole 'Loid Accumulation Hiatus is difficult to maintain when your doctor is thoroughly convinced your depression would disappear if you weren't so fat and has spent the past three weeks refusing to issue you a refill of your medications in the hopes that it'll convince you to start exercising and dieting. Coincidentally, that also makes doing ANYTHING except for sitting on my butt and comfort-buying shit online difficult. I've started like... five new covers, only to abandon them because I know I'm not good enough to make them worthwhile. Mm, maybe Nana will jolt me into some genuine productivity? One can hope anyway.

    I too want to punch your doctor wtfwtfwtfffff. In a just world that person would not have a license

    That said I hope you enjoy Nana :akasakiminato_lili: (Now I want to go buy a loid djddjjd)

    (ETA I didn’t see your comment before now and now I am psychically tracking down your doctor for a mental thrashing I just. Ugghhh I hate doctors who ignore mental health and actual non weight issues SO MUCH /puts fist through wall)

    Thank y’all so much. I’m gonna try and ask my mom if there’s any way I can switch doctors, because even she thinks this is getting ridiculous.

    On a lighter note, I AM excited for Nana! I’ve wanted her for a while now, but I wanted to get her full Complete box and couldn’t justify the price point because, well, she wasn’t a #1 priority. But now that I’ve taken the plunge I’m happy!
    So I'm practicing my Slovak by way of trying to transcribe the dub of KFP2, because the subtitles that come with it don't match the actual dub most of the time (it seems like they just ran the English script through a translator and slapped the results onto their respective scenes). One of my absolute most favorite things so far:

    When Tigress tells Po to stay in Gongmen Jail with Ox and Croc because "I can't let my friend be killed", Crane originally asks her in response "Maybe you can't let ME be killed?" In the Slovak dub, he says "Hey, aren't I your friend too?" Which just makes the look on his face when she tells him to stop being a wimp that much better.

    Patuk and I have stumbled upon something truly beautiful: a channel that posts, for the most part, P&P covers of Caramelldansen, in its original Swedish as well as Japanese and English. They have posted 44 covers of Caramelldansen in various languages with various VBs in the past five months.

    And now we're starting our own channel doing the exact same thing, because that's fucking brilliant.
    *slams fists on metaphorical table*

    For the love of GOD someone please ship Pete/Rick with me

    There is like five pieces of fanart for them. Two I discovered several years ago (and one I haven't been able to find since 2017), two were drawn in the wake of the FoMT remake (and they both amount to nothing more than "Pete is standing like three feet away from Rick and there's a heart drawn next to them so you know it's supposed to be ship art), and the other was drawn by my girlfriend (which is Extremely Fucking Holy because 1.) it was made by my girlfriend and 2.) Height Difference). I wrote a fic for them last-last April and I'm trying to write another one but keep getting hung up because I have no other sources of inspiration to turn to but my own self-serving imagination.

    They're so GOOD and I love them so MUCH but NO ONE ELSE SHIPS THEM AND I'M SO FUCKING SAD

    I’m still in shock, to tell you the truth. Like one of my coworkers said, “She was supposed to be immortal. She wasn’t supposed to die.” But she lived such a long and influential life, spent nine decades being a voice for women and People of Color and animals and the marginalized, and then she passed peacefully in her sleep. Think that’s about the best life one could hope to live.

    Rest in Power, Betty White, and thank you for everything!
    Honestly, I keep forgetting it’s New Years Eve. One of my coworkers asked what I was planning on doing tonight; I didn’t understand why he saw “Sleep, probably” as such an underwhelming answer for a good few minutes. I’ve been working so much since getting back from my Christmas break that all the days are running together once more.

    Well, maybe it’s for the best! I saw a post a long time ago about going to sleep on NYE and waking refreshed in a new year, and how it’s supposed to be a good omen or whatever. Here’s hoping!

    Happy NYE to everyone, and may 2022 be better!
    Not me wanting to cover ANOTHER late 70s/early 80s sultry and/or suggestive love song with Kaito and Meiko. Get new MATERIAL PEACHES

    (Okay, in my defense, the last one I published in early 2019, so I think it's been long enough, right? Plus this one is like... like On the Rocks meets Baby It's Cold Outside, lyrically, with a bluesy, big-band feel. It's amazing and they would be perfect for it! Though given it's originally performed by Enka singers, Gakupo and Sachiko could be an option too...)

    Which song is it ? =o
    peaches2217
    peaches2217
    *slams fist on metaphorical table* Holy FUCK

    So the song is about two people who meet at a bar, develop an attraction to each other, and tease the idea of going home together and starting something... but ultimately, they go their separate ways, with nothing more than unresolved sexual tension as proof of their encounter.

    Which is literally the entire basis for Gakupo and Kiyoteru's relationship in my (still mostly unpublished) works: they meet at a bar and keep coming back every weekend, never admitting that it's just so they can see one another, but it's several months before they actually take their growing attraction outside of the bar. I MIGHT JUST COVER THIS WITH THEM 😭

    And @MillyAqualine it's called Izakaya by Itsuki Hiroshi and Kinomi Nana. I saw a cover of it using Yamato and Kasumi and was like "...yup. I'm covering this too."
