Hi Tech!!! For the music ask game, 1, 9, 10, and/or 23 :D

hello fish!! thank you for the ask!! <3

also i’m doing two for all of these because i’m indecisive, want to talk about more music, and then i can do one pjsk/vocaloid related and one otherwise. and they’re in whack order because that’s the order i answered them in.

(also strap in, this got long lol)

★ 10: A song that makes you sad

▸ one more light - linkin park

just the fact that the whole message of the song seems to be “stay alive. there’s always someone out there that cares for you. *i* care for you.” but knowing the circumstances of chester bennington’s death, this song always hits me particularly hard.

▸ cinema - ayase (YOASOBI) - performed by vivid bad squad

right off the bat had to put cinema. the blorbo feels are real. every time i read the lyrics while listening to it i want to cry (or i do cry). akito shinonome what have you done to me. (told me there’s always hope is what he did. look at him. he gave me bittersweet hope.)

★ 23:A song that you think everybody should listen to

to me there’s two ways to read this prompt. “i think everybody should listen to this because i’m obsessed with it” and then there’s “i think this is a good song for everybody to listen to”

first option ▸ “ÅMARA (the great intelligence)” - sasakure.UK!!!!!!!

i have fallen in love with the otherworldly sound and the sci-fi/post-future visuals of the MV. also miku and kaito just sound beautiful. i do appreciate very realistic vsyth tuning, but i also really like when composers lean in to the inherent electronic sound to produce something that feels incomplete when sung by humans. however i would say the MV calls for a minor body horror warning and an eye contact warning!

second option ▸ “a symptom of being human” - shinedown

shinedown is a solidly “dad rock” band, but because of my dad it’s very special to me. also i am a huge sucker for any song that’s message is “we’re all human. we’re all a little weird, but we’re all still people.“ even if it’s a little cringe i still always love it. i think everyone feels at some point like they’re somehow different than everyone else, an alien, an outsider, broken somehow. so i love any song that says “that’s OK. we have differences. but we are all still humans, and we all deserve to find happiness and peace of mind because of that.”

★ 1: A song you like with a color in the title

▸ white rabbit - egypt central

gonna be honest, i don’t know anything else by this band. think this is kinda their one big hit

▸ close to gray / infinitely grey / kagirinaku haiiro e - surii - performed by nightcord at 25:00 / 25-ji, nightcord de.

shinonome siblings’ comms never miss let me tell you. they’re also literally both me. like i relate to ena in many ways. both shinonomes mean so much to me </3

★ 9: A song that makes you happy

▸ upside down - set it off

this song is like whatever the reverse of personification is for a silly little guy. it’s a little dumb and dorky but the stupidly upbeat protagonist never fails to make me smile because it’s so hilariously optimistic. i know a lot of set it off fans (at least the ones i know irl) prefer their heavier albums (and i’m really happy with the singles they’ve been putting out since they got away from that label) but upside down always feels to me like the band themself wanted to experiment more with making lighter music, rather than them being pushed that direction by the label (which i feel happened somewhat with elsewhere)

▸ wah wah world - giga and mitchie m - performed by hatsune miku, minori hanasato, and azusawa kohane

this song is also very silly and fun. it perfectly fits minori and kohane to me. two cute girls with a lot of determination and a bit of an “edgy” side! it’s also way better than sekai (the song). sorry but it’s true idk how it happened

hi fish!! thank you for the tag!!

open tags, anyone do what you want. others go got tagged by fish can chain off me idc!

Not me having some kinda type... Who shall I tag? I think I wanna tagggggg... @mybugsmybugsmybugs @mexicangela @lunar-years @biscuitboxpink but no pressure!! I just thought it would be fun!

[tecceran]

when you get this, you can answer with 5 things you like about yourself (if you want to), and then send this ask to 10 of your followers (or as many as you want to, spread positivity, but take care of yourself)

adskahdsjalhskadhsksl this was way harder than it should have been so it took me a while to get to it…

1.) i suppose to start, i have always been happy with my body. i don’t experience much of anything in the way of dysphoria (aside from the constant hairstyle debate) and i have enough natural athleticism that i can move my body weight if need be (i.e. pulling myself up onto/over something) which for whatever reason is something i’ve always been proud of. my ability to scale a mid-sized wall.

2.) i also like, or at least appreciate that i absorb and retain information quite well. while my actual work ethic may not be great, i am able to do pretty well in academics just from info sticking with me pretty well. i think i learn stuff well in general.

3.) i have been pretty happy with my art lately, or at least i’ve felt a lot more like it’s worthy of been posted and seen by others. i have so many ideas, and i want to draw more often.

4.) i guess i like that i can take charge and overcome my shyness/social anxiety when someone else doesn’t want to. i guess the older sibling instinct outweighs the people are scary instinct. pretty sure the people in my group for the freshman seminar presentation loved me because i would—for whatever reason—just run my mouth until whoever came to see our project left.

5.) i guess it’s not really about me, but i’m really glad that i’ve been able to have so many great people around me. sure, my little brother is going thru his teenage asshole years, but we have each other’s backs when we’re out. not to mention all my close friends have been such wonderfully kind, talented, and inspiring people and we’ve stuck together with minimal drama for a while. for that i’m certainly grateful.

uhhhh uhhhhhhhh uhhhhhhhhhh i got all serious and rambly uhhhhh uhhhhhhhhh MY DOG BE UPON YE

did you hear that? three THOUSAND five hundred eighty FOUR fish want you (🫵) to vote for Angelique. are you going to let those fish down in front of a beautiful woman? i didn’t think so. vote Angelique.

Sexiest Podcast Character 2024 — Scripted Redemption Bracket — Round 2.5

Propaganda

Angelique (The Secret of St Kilda):

She’s simply perfect in every way. Flirts with Lockie especially but also kind of everyone. Runs the only (?) store on the island and uses the fight (more of a one sided beating, really) that happens inside it as an excuse to remodel. Allegedly went topless in the Louvre after a fight with her father. She’s literally the sexiest person on the island trust me. With your help, she could be the sexiest podcast character too!

Doug Eiffel (Wolf 359):

man with long hair + lots of body hair + nicotine addiction + aura of cringefail #is v attractive to me sorryyy

#EIFFEL! #vote eiffel everyone #my boy <3 #my awful girldad <3

#DOUGLAS EIFFEL #YEAHHHH GO CRINGEFAIL PEACEKEEPER

Additional propaganda below the cut:

Angelique (The Secret of St Kilda):

#VOTE ANGELIQUE MY BELOVED!!!!!!!!!! #sexiest podcast character TO ME! trust! #she’s perfect

#this is so sad I should’ve campaigned harder 😔 #Godspeed on future rounds Rowan #rip Angelique for getting exiled that shot doesn’t go well when you’re from st kilda

#anyways in an island of cultists find yourself a woman who will let you beat up a guy in her shop and be so so chill about it

#she IS extra. she IS sexy. also shes a woman and i love women

This is propaganda for all the female characters. Voters please remember how pretty all women are and factor that into every single vote you make. Thank you.

Doug Eiffel (Wolf 359):

he's hot. dilf. silly. yeah.

#DOUG! DOUG FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!

#doug eiffel is one of the only characters in this tournament i genuinely find attractive godbless 🙏 #(​<- /acespec not /passive aggressive to be clear)

I don't really remember anything about Wolf 359 since I only listened to a few episodes so I'm throwing my lot in with whoever has the most compelling/funniest propaganda. I think this would be funny and I commit to nothing if not the bit

hello hi fish thank you for the tag <33 my music taste is simultaneously in 2 very different places rn so this should be interesting. also an opportunity to tap about things i like? yes please

1. “Parasite” ~ Set It Off — all of SIO’s recent singles have been killer. they are back and better than ever ❤️‍🔥

2. “Beyond the way” ~ Vivid BAD SQUAD / Giga + q*Left — shoutout to giga for being the #1 vbs fan. this is probably my favourite comm in the game. look at my kids go! look how far they’ve come! also hatsune miku is there!

3. “The Wolves” ~ JJ and The Pillars — just a very fun song. i associate it with last life smp. some people never left the desert. i never left that shitty snow soul sand castle 😔

4. “Secret Worlds” ~ The Amazing Devil — my favorite song off this album, but honestly you could tell me any song off this album was your favorite and you would be completely valid. it’s that good. really fun to sing, so full of expression!

5. “Creating Monsters” ~ Set It Off — once again a recent SIO single that absolutely kills it. also a relatable message. i too make monsters with my head and it’s annoying as shit when you know rationally that you’re overreacting, but your body still is sure fucking reacting.

6. “Talking to Myself” ~ Linkin Park — i am my father’s daughter, what can i say? very danceable. i love this album.

7. “Demons and Angels” ~ LOWBORN — i can make this song about cloud strife. in other news, it’s just got a really fun driving beat. really gets you pumped up. (why do i sound like a gymbro?)

8. “炉心融解” / “nuclear meltdown” ~ iroha(sasaki) + kuma(alfred) — i tend to prefer the shortened cut used in pjsk, but i like the song so much that i listen to the full version too. i love the lyrics, even if they are dark. and the akikoha cover is just doing it favors.

9. “シャンティ” / “SHANTI” ~ Vivid BAD SQUAD / wotaku — THE BOP OF ALL TIME!! i love love love love looooooove this cover i waited for the day it would come to spotify. why do vbs keep getting the drinking / drugs / guns songs? i don’t know. but i’m not mad bc this cover goes so hard. i found a fan choreo video on youtube one time too and i’m insane about that too. whoever plays kaito in that is like inhuman /pos. it’s amazing.

10. “What Hurts The Most” ~ Rascal Flatts — OK so i lied we’ve gone in a third direction. technically rascal flatts is country, but a lot of times it just kinda feels like rock so it gets on to my playlists. case in point: what genre is life is a highway? idk i really really like this song. i don’t think the lyrics are anything special, but they do kinda hit a specific theme that always gets me, and it’s just got some something that i vibe with

stole this from sb on the dash but im ever so fond of talking abt my favorite music SO<3 (added explanations 4 the songs as well)

these two give me far too much credit for what i contributed to the game, and i want to say HEY EVERYONE GO LOOK AT WHAT MY COOL FRIENDS DID!

in addition to working on some safe cards, my contribution to this project was being overly dramatic about making a micheal distortion “fucks you up” card!

so yeah everyone go tell these two how cool their game is! it’s super fun to play too, especially if you get a little in character!

In collaboration with @the-zenith-calls and @tecceran , I present The Magnus Archives themed Clue!! We spent several hours over the course of a couple weeks working on this, and play tested it properly for the first time last night. Check out both of their blogs for details of what they made (when theirs are posted I will link them here as well), and below the cut I will be putting details of my contributions :]

(image descriptions in alt text, though I haven't used alt text before so hopefully they do actually work)

Firstly, the weapons tokens. These were just cut out of cardboard in the style of the tokens that are included in my Star Wars Clue set

I was also responsible for room cards! Of these, Jon’s Office and the Archives are my favorites

We also have varying hallway cards, based on a mechanic in my Star Wars Clue, again.

The backs of the cards had to get covered somehow because markers bleed, so the hallway cards are plain black and the other cards have eye designs on them

I also formatted and printed out detective note sheets and an Instructions booklet! Details on the instruction booklet will end up in a reblog because I'm running out of images oops. Most of the instructions are just copied word for word from my Clue set instructions, with some alterations made, except for completely made up mechanics, which the-zenith-calls wrote and I reworded if necessary and formatted nicely.
