i dont want a badboy figure made never ever unless nagimiso (or someone of similar intent) has a hand on it because then theyd just make him look like a len instead of a badboy

Any specific character inspiration for how you characterize the CV gang?? :0 like, from animes or other media, is that how you picked out their personalities because their really great 🙏🏾

OvO!! excellent question!! ooh boy...where do I start with that...

admittedly, some of my inspirations are a bit difficult for me to remember since I've had my characterizations for the CVs for a really long time, almost if not as long as I've been a fan (so...over a decade lmao). let's see, though... (this became an essay accidentally so putting it under a cut lmao)

My Miku's personality comes from a mix of things: the basics of it I think I can trace back to her portrayals in unofficial comics like Hatsune Mix and Chibi Miku-san, and of course, portrayals of her from various early songs and videos (mainly cosMo's works). Outside of Vocaloid-based works, though, I don't think it'd surprise anyone to know that yes, I did base my portrayal of Miku on Jenny from My Life as a Teenage Robot (just a little XD) but it would probably surprise people to know that I got a surprising amount of inspiration for how I write Miku from Mickey Mouse of all characters, mostly the version of him from the modern Paul Rudish shorts. I feel like the wackier and more short-sighted aspects of her definitely came from him, lolol - it ended up making her feel more like a Western cartoon protag than say, a stock shoujo anime heroine. Oh, and I can't forget - a good chunk of Miku's personality also is a reflection of myself in a few ways, such as her anxious streak.

For Rin...Rin is actually kinda easy in this regard, a majority of Rin (and also Len's) characterizations were definitely based off the aforementioned early Vocacomics/mangas and early songs, mostly Wonderful Opportunity's discography, but for Rin I also got a lot of my idea for her from OSTER Project's early songs (like Princess Cowgirl Show). Rin tended to get portrayed a lot with a very energetic, in-your-face and slightly bratty attitude and I always loved it. XD Both my Rin and Len were inspired by a few of the Kagamine ask blogs floating around Tumblr in the early 2010s too. Also, while this was more of like...a subconscious inspiration? I recently had rewatched a bit of the Powerpuff Girls and I was kinda struck by how much Buttercup had snuck into how I write Rin XD It was really funny.

Now Len...I'm gonna come out and say that yeah, I owe a lot of my inspiration for how I write Len to hikusa and their Len askblog - I think my Len ended up deviating quite a bit from theirs? But I think the influence is there. XD Let's see...I also got my Len's personality from a lot of earlier Vocaloid content? Although admittedly moreso from other media like the comics and Project DIVA games than music in his regard other than WanOpo. Like Rin and Buttercup, I also noticed he takes quite a bit after Blossom, which I thought was entertaining. Len is also another character besides Miku that I think takes after myself a lot, I'd say he's probably the closest in personality to me in the cast. XD

And Luka is also pretty easy! A majority of my idea for Luka is pulled straight from one of her centric chapters in Hatsune Mix (couldn't tell you the chapter name/number off the top of my head) that discusses her having trouble putting "feeling" into her singing. I thought that chapter was really interesting in giving Luka that conflict so I ended up giving her a sort of robotic personality to delve further into that concept a bit. I think I also got some of my Luka's characterization from some of Owata-P's old Talkloids (Vocaloid Petit Theater, I think?) where while she was more tsundere than kuudere her kinda deadpan attitude felt fitting to the character.

But yeah! I know, kinda weird places to find characterization inspiration...but yknow lmao.

Hi there! A couple of your blazed posts about Miracle Simulator appeared on my dash in very quick succession, so I had a look out of curiosity... aaand that was 5 hours ago. I have now read through the entire comic in record time and aaaaAAAA it was SUCH a rollercoaster of feelings!! I love it so much, I'm so attached to the concept and the characters (Sue the beloved hehe) and... everything. You've created something truly special with this story, congrats on completing it & thankyou for sharing it with the world :'D

(also it was very fun seeing familiar names from vocalsynth fandom like hikusa and pierrotsdoll while reading, & now looking at your blog I see you do vocalsynth art too? hell yeah yippee!)

Anyway goodluck w development of the plushies (since that's the next step for Miracle Simulator rn) + any projects you're working on rn!!

thanks so much for your message!! happy that my comic was able to reach you through blaze!

(fun fact this only happened bc my friend had a 24 hour coupon to blaze whatever posts they wanted and they asked if I had any posts I wanted to use it on so I was like "might as well!")

super happy to see someone reading miracle sim who also recognized my buddies in the vocasynth fandom too, that's a first for me!

I accidentally deleted an ask from the anon but yes! I did have permission to use hikusa's artwork-- specifically the ones they had on their ask blog back when it was still active, which was I think 5 or more years ago-- maybe dare I say 7 years! I may be forgetful at times but I can recall asking for and gotten their permission!

I can recall asking them cause they once had an ask blog themselves featuring Miku. I really like their art and I do recall asking every ask blog that had great art that I wanted to use to ask for permission back when I had a semblance of an active ask blog myself.

Sure, I could've gone off to google or danbooru to yoink some pictures, but I rather want to ask for permission in these cases.
