#lorelei (module)

[lenked-universe]

Headcanon update!

Lorelei took Punkish under her wing after the latter left DIVA Academy. He worked at her bar for some time. And they have matching tattoos! 🦋

I realized I never really shared my hc about this ‘DIVA academy’ wkwk maybe some other time 👩🏻‍🦯‍➡️

I might, at some point, add more to their story (why Punkish left the academy, how he met Lorelei, and why did he ended up becoming a wh*r3) but I can’t put them into words atm aughhh

Favorite module?

Oooh, excellent question! How about I show you my favorites of all six Cryptonloids~

It's really hard to pick one for Miku. She has so many amazing ones and I have a lot of favorites I couldn't really pick one over another. One of my favorites, though, is Punk. I love the dark energy of it so much. It's always been one of my favorites. I really wish there was a figure or something of her in it so I could get it. I just love this module so much.

Rin is kinda hard to choose too, because my favorite is a toss-up between two modules: Sakura Moon and Heat Haze. Both of these outfits are so pretty and stylish and I love them so much. Sakura Moon is such a gorgeous kimono, and it suits Rin so well; I love the sticks in her hair and the moon charm and the way her hair is put up; it's just gorgeous. Heat Haze is such an interesting style of outfit, but it's done so beautifully and perfectly; I also really like the way Rin's hair is more orange, and that there's extra hair clips, and she has a black bow this time; it suits the outfit very well. I don't think I could choose between these two as my favorite Rin module.

Len is definitely the easiest, I don't really have to think about it and there's no other competitors: Phoenix Moon/Hougetsu. I love this module so so much. I love the motif of what the Kagamine Hachi Hachi Flower Fight modules were going for, and the Len module is just so good. I love that he's in a bright pink, frilly kimono. It works on him so well and it's such a beautiful kimono. I adore this module. I admittedly put him in it in a lot of songs in Project Diva. My favorite to do this with is Unhappy Refrain because it's so badass to watch him play drums in a kimono.

Luka's got a lot of amazing modules that I really love, but if I had to pick one, it would probably be Temptation. It's a very pretty and well-stylized module that suits both Luka and the song it's for very well. I don't have much to say on it, I just absolutely love this module. It's so pretty. I also think the black bunny ears accessory fits this module very well. I love adding them in songs.

Kaito was a toss-up as well. I was trying to decide between Rosa Blue and Requiem because I love both of those outfits so much, but I think I have to go with Rosa Blue. It's just so glamourous and beautiful, very fitting of its song. And I love that in Future Tone, they added a big, frilly hat. Somehow made it even better. It's gorgeous.

Meiko's modules are all very pretty. My favorite would be her sequined dress from on the rocks if that was in Project Diva, but alas, it isn't. So I'd say my favorite module of hers would probably be Lorelei. It's so pretty and stylish, and very well-fitting of its earmarked song. I don't really have a lot to say about most of Meiko's modules, they're all just so gorgeous.

Thank you for the ask! I love talking about the Project Diva modules, thank you for giving me an excuse to do so 🩵

Who does my MC look best with?

(ignore the fact that you can clearly tell who's my favourite)

>>Also I named my MC Lorelei Vessalius, after the family in Pandora Hearts and that one Meiko module

[hikarikiiro]

is there any vocaloid (negitoro module or another singer) that sakura doesn't like? always seems like babies have at least one person that they will burst into tears over.

There's a lot actually. Spacey Nurse is on the top 'cuz she's always checking on her files and such. The moment Sakura sees her, she will either hide or cry. Siren, Nagisa Replica, Strange Dark, and General are on her list for the same reason: They are all too scary. They dont look, they glare and they all rarely smile (or not smile in a creepy manner, in case of Siren and Strange Dark) Ni-no-Sakura kinda creeps her out so she stay away from her, while she dislikes Lorelei cause she smells like alcohol (...well, that's most of Meiko modules, but Lorelei smells the strongest).

"Mutiny on the Enterprise" review

Novel from 1983 by Robert E. Vardeman (author as well of "The Klingon Gambit"). A short novel, written in the style of one of the episodes. It won't blow your mind, but it's fairly entertaining. Actually, it's better if you haven't read previously "The Klingon Gambit", as otherwise, the similarities in structure between both novels are too much: Kirk loses control of his crew due to alien influences (here because they become mutinous, there because they became capricious) and then has a planetside adventure. Again, Kirk is among the few able to resist the brainwashing, because of his unwavering loyalty to his duty. Though in this occasion, he's joined by Spock (thanks to his Vulcan control) and McCoy (thanks to his power of... grumpiness? I don't really know why McCoy can resist so well against this all-powerful influence, but he's very angry for most of the novel). Anyway, I found this one better than Vardeman's previous attempt.

There are some returning characters from "The Klingon Gambit", most notably, Chief McDonel: a female, even tougher version of Scotty, and a nice departure from the average female character in these novels. The main "villain" (though that definition doesn't really apply to her) has some interesting, well-conceived powers. And the alien life forms that Kirk encounters in the planet are pretty imaginative, and at the same time believable. As for the main trio, Kirk is the most developed character. And you can feel his mounting frustration against a situation quickly spiralling out of control. On the other hand, I think that Spock and McCoy are way too hostile towards each other. Kirk spends a good amount of time chastising them for their constant fights. Though some of their bickering is actually funny.

Spoilers under the cut:

The Enterprise has to bring three ambassadors to mediate in the conflict between planets Ammdon and Jurnamoria. And as usual, one of the ambassadors is a complete jerk (why does the Federation always choose the most unpleasant persons to negotiate?). However, en route to Ammdon, Kirk rescues an alien woman from a derelict ship and brings her aboard.

Kirk soon notices the powerful influence of this woman, called Lorelei, on him and others. Something about the way she speaks, and even her appearance, has a compelling effect on everyone who listens to her. Little by little, disaffection grows among the crew towards their current mission. Everyone seems convinced that, far from bringing peace between the two planets, the Enterprise's arrival will precipitate war. Even Sulu, Uhura, Scotty and Chekov start sabotaging the mission. And Kirk finds himself almost alone, with only Spock and McCoy still obeying his orders.

Everything points out to Lorelei as the instigator of the mutiny. Her species is completely devoted to peace and non-violent solutions. And she, as a Speaker of her race, has the ability to modulate her voice and adapt her discourse to the listener, for maximum effect. Since she's sure that the ambassadors will fail to bring peace, she convinced everyone aboard to hamper the mission. No matter how much Kirk insists that his intentions are also peaceful, she won't believe him. In this way, Lorelei is a good foil for Kirk: both have ultimately the same goal of achieving peace, but Kirk's conviction that a show of force is sometimes necessary against those that desire war, makes their positions irreconcillable.

On top of that, the warp engines, which were already in need of repairs, finally break completely, and the Enterprise is left stranded. Actually, it's heavily implied that it was Scotty himself who sabotaged the engines, in order to follow Lorelei's wishes. Fortunately, they discover a nearby planet, which seems enough technologically advanced to provide repairs. Spock and McCoy beam down to negotiate for the needed materials, but they notice something disquieting about the inhabitants. Neither the humanoids, nor any living creature there, seem capable of communication. And the entire planet reacts against any disturbance. When Spock tries to communicate with one of the aliens through a mind-meld, they're imprisoned. The ambassadors follow suit, when they beam down without authorization.

Aboard the Enterprise, Kirk loses his little authority left when he orders to shoot phasers, to destroy the prison that holds Spock, McCoy and the others (remember, no violence). So the crew maroons him on the planet for being such a bad boy. Down there, Kirk starts realizing what's going on with that place: the entire planet is actually a gigantic living thing, while the apparent creatures are like cells of a body, perfectly synchronized (that's why they don't need the usual ways of communication). Their presence, thus, is understood as something like a cancer, that the planet tries to get rid of. So Kirk approaches the prison, careful to not disturb a single thing, and avoiding tentacles on his way. Since everything is organic, Kirk brings McCoy a hypo to anesthetize... the prison itself. And they're set free. Meanwhile, a redshirt has died in a surprisingly gruesome way, and the ambassadors are also killed for upsetting the planet.

In the final part, Kirk, Spock and McCoy have to fight a battle against the whole crew to regain control of the ship. First, they hijack the shuttle that Lorelei uses to bring repair materials aboard (she's so convincing, that she talked the planet into collaboration). And after that, Kirk makes his way through the hostile ship, for a final confrontation against Lorelei. Once she's imprisoned, her effect over the crew starts diminishing. And Scotty finally gets to repair the damn engines, so the Enterprise can proceed towards Ammdon. Ironically, Lorelei was right all along, and the ship's arrival prompts Ammdon to declare war on Jurnamoria, thinking that the Federation will support them in battle. With all ambassadors dead, what will Kirk do to convince those two, stubborn leaders of the benefits of peace? What will he do indeed, hmmm...? I think the solution is pretty obvious, right?

Spirk Meter: 0/10*. None that I've noticed.

There's perhaps some timid McKirk. McCoy reaches for Kirk's arm in a couple of dangerous situations. And when Lorelei tries to regain the ship, she does so by telling Kirk that "Your Dr. McCoy has been imprisoned". She tries to beam him back to the planet, alone, which makes Kirk abandon the bridge, that he just won back with so much effort, and run to his rescue.

As for Spones, this is McCoy's observation to Kirk, about the two planetary leaders once they've reconciled:

"You're starting to sound like Spock. Those two are in love. Imagine, hating one another for so long, and now, who knows?"

"Yes, Doctor, who knows."

Well, who else has spent the entire novel fighting, and obsessing about every single thing the other says or does...? The irony seems lost to McCoy.

*A 10 in this scale is the most obvious spirk moments in TOS. Think of the back massage, "You make me believe in miracles", or "Amok Time" for example.

[minophisch]

wuthering waves blah blah 2

super quick post but I've been thinking lately - miscellaneous things // wall of text incoming...

Partially recording my thoughts here for the next player survey

I liked the story for 4.2; not as impressed as all the talk around it had me hoping but the writing has definiteily improved generally.

Everyone still talks a lot but it holds my attention a little better than g*nshin still... .somehow? i'm not sure why

Rinacita is really beautiful and fun to explore. Could use fewer enemies in the overworld though because I feel like I'm triggering combat every 3 seconds

Flying is awesome.

I like the fairy tale theme of Rinacita a lot! and the strong colors (deviation from the 1.0 stuff that was really muted and really didn't have strong color really anywhere.)

The overflowing palette puzzles are my favorite and I like going around the continent to look for those specifically. I still haven't bothered to figure out the block smashing mechanic but that's ok.

At first I did not like the anniversary event. But then it really grew on me. Real turn your brain off combat and numbers go boom. It's fun to make your little neopet cube buddies stronger and equip them with absurd modules. And I like that the plot was stupid and really trying to keep it light.

MOST OF ALL - all the events felt super achievable. I didn't play a lot due to a hand injury and only started playing in the last third of the event, but I still was abel to get pretty much all the major event rewards quite comfortably without really breaking a sweat. WuWa respecting my time again W.

More below the cut (cutting at an arbitrary place)

I was able to snag carlotta from the anniversary selection banner - super happy about that.

I think the discount for the character skins is dumb because it's not enough for me to buy a full skin which means I'd have to purchase currency in order to take advanrage of it... so.... pass......

I was weirdly invested in getting the oven creature a job at the bank mini event. I was actually lowkey sad when it didn't get the gig. I think the devs should have let the oven cat achieve its dreams.

The character design felt really strong to me up until Zani. I am... starting to side eye all the character releases after that.

Ciciaonna isn't terrible ... she's fine but I don't really like her outfit

Cartwheel's outfit however... disaster. I actually hate it. girl is wearing rags. She's great from the neck up... but everything else...

and not just because it's gooner bait it's just bad.

It's ok we can all be gooners but it's annoying when having as many cut outs as possible and weird skin windows is the main idea of so many of the upcoming designs. I feel like we're limiting ourselves from trying new things...

Also I feel that the designs are starting to drift to what I call "generic fantasy gacha" territory - too many floaty straps. Too many metal bits. Too many weird banners. Not enough big shapes or grounded ideas that give the characters world identity. When I can stop telling if a character is from genshib or hsr or wuwa or pgr i think that's an issue

It bothers me a lot. Please bring back serviceable character design and flavor for locations. We are drifting.

On an equally important level - i think the main differentiator for wuwa for me is the refined mechanics and needing to really pay attention to the gameplay. I want to bring back simpler attack mechanics.

particularly for bosses... I don't like it when they just splash random attacks and I like it when it feels more like a duel. Sentry, crownless, tempest memphis and scar are good for me. Fleurdelys and lorelei too

Hecate and the dragon on the other hand.... cry

ok that's all for now haha

Today’s MEIKO Module Of The Day Is:

Lorelei by Anko !

[strangedark]

Holy shit I’m gay. Her voice is so powerful.

[anatomical-puppet]

Does anyone care about my Heartless voice headcanons? Probably not! But that will not stop me from sharing some of em because it’s My blog and I Do Not Control The Hyperfixation

It’s mostly the villains, dunno why, but here we goooooo-

Alastor: Christopher Wehkamp would be sUCH an outstanding Alastor, oh my god. The only thing I’ve really seen him in is the Ace Attorney anime, where he voices Edgeworth, but I’ve also been told he’s Aizawa in the English dub of MHA, so that’s neat! Just a tired businessman doing his best (worst?)

Lorelei: Fully just Nikola from TMA. That’s it. That’s Her, Baby! Like obviously make her tone and inflection more human and less stilted, but you get the gist

Dock: Roadhog. No further questions. Nah, but seriously, in my head he sounds different with and without the mask? Which isn’t helpful because he has no reason to use a voice modulator,,, idk. But with the mask on he sounds like Roadhog, just a little clearer and smoother

Lance: I have. So many different ideas for this man’s voice. Oh my god. Main one is that he sounds like Handsome Jack from Borderlands, which I haven’t played but have seen enough of to fall in love with that bastard lol. I feel like he could also be more of like, a Bakugo type? Just kinda raspy and a bit deep? But I’ve only seen about 4 episodes of MHA so I’m not fully sold on that. But I also think he should be Australian because,, it is funny to me,,,,

Diana: Laura Bailey,, please,,,, she has The Power she would do so well oh god

Heartless: My only idea was Gumball from The Amazing World of Gumball?? Dunno why, that’s just where my brain went so I’m sticking with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Doppel/Glass: This is a very niche one and mostly a joke, but uhh y’all ever played Sly Cooper..? Well, apparently the guy who voices Sly is named Kevin Miller, so I’m going with him because Haha Funnee Thief Joke

Okay, quick change stations. I've got some things about them, I want say.

It's treated as normal to change your appearance in the fly. Like, none presumably doesn't bat an eye when you change your hair from dull brown to light green. Or if you change your facial appearance. (Like, that's nuts.)

But, as it's confirmed in tales from the borderlands you can scan people's appearances.

Okay, so this pretty much opens an world of possibilities. You could basically scan an celebrity and walk around as them. Or you scan your friend, that's a great prank right there. But, I'd like to focus on two things self-exploration and identify theft.

Let's start with self-exploration. As I like to believe Lorelei actually did this. They felt like trying it out and that's how they figured it out. And they even mentioned in one of their echo logs. About how you can change your appearance in the quick change station and such. But it wasn't full experience. Getting sidetracked here. My point you can try things before making it final.

Then to the identity theft. It's so easy. Well, easy-ish. Rhys scanned Vazquez face which then allowed him to look like him. So, does this mean you have to scan the person's actual face or is an picture alright? I believe an picture is alright. So, let's say I scanned a picture of Moxxi on to my quick change account. I could walk around as her, get the voice modulator Rhys' had and wham. I'm pretending to be Moxxi. You could so easily pull someone's reputation trhu the dirt and they'd have no idea why it has happened.

That was my Ted talk about quick change stations. Thanks for coming.

Hello ! MEIKO Lorelei Module icons ? Thanks soooo much 🥺🥺❤❤❤

‘Lorelei’ MEIKO icons for @taessencial !! totally unrelated but i love your profile theme aaaaaa

PVs ; Lovers Suicide Oblivion, AFTER BURNER, Stay With Me, On The Rocks

free to use ; i appreciate a reblog though!!

[lichfucker]

9, 16, 22, 30 for ingot, and 2, 6, 8, 15 for andy!

9.  where does your character look when they're the only one walking down a road?

everywhere, but mostly forward. they’re slowly getting used to looking back to make sure they’re not being followed, but their instinct is to make sure nothing’s coming up ahead

16.  what does getting flustered look like for your character?

ingot’s got terrible foot-in-mouth syndrome lmfao. they get stiff and uncomfortable and say the exact wrong thing in any given situation. if they’re really upset they’ll just straight-up leave sldkfsd

22.  what's your character's ideal way to wake up? what usually wakes them up?

I think I’ve mentioned before that I think of ingot as a very disciplined sleeper, esp since he always had such rigid schedules. he’s the kind of person whose internal clock just wakes him up at the same time every day. it’s nice to wake up with the sunrise, though. it would also be nice to wake up with z’ress but since z’ress only needs to trance for four hours they’re usually already gone by the time ingot wakes up :/

30.  how has your character's first impressions of their party members changed since they met them? have they stayed the same?

hooo okay

saube: ingot’s first impression of saube was “you are Like Me but backwards, you are everything I’m not,” and I think that’s still true but it feels different now? ingot also thought that saube was too hesitant and naive and out of their depth, and it’s been really nice to watch saube become more strong and self-assured and decisive

whitlock: well right away whitlock was ingot’s favorite and that hasn’t changed lmfao. they thought that whitlock was very grounded and practical and not afraid to get his hands dirty, and all of that is still true, but whitlock is also far more relaxed and easygoing and FUN than ingot initially assumed

rae: ingot thought that rae was. a lot. and she is. sldkfsd ingot also thought that rae was very frivolous and kind of just there to have a good time, but it turns out that rae actually is very thoughtful and passionate and cares very deeply about justice in a way that ingot definitely wouldn’t have guessed

eun ha: I don’t think ingot knew what to make of eun ha at first. in the very beginning she was just “somebody who’s also here now, I guess.” this is not to say that I think ingot understands eun ha very well, because he doesn’t, he knows her the least well out of anyone, but I almost feel like at this point ingot wishes he understood eun ha LESS, because ingot is very comfortable disagreeing with people (especially with people who are relatively new), and it was... easier to disagree with eun ha in the beginning. I feel like I’m not explaining this well hhh :/

thank you for asking about andy  🥺 🥺 I love you

2.  would your character carry around a tiny bath and body works hand sanitizer? if yes, would it have a specific scent?

they wouldn’t, because a) they don’t want to leave behind any identifiable scent that could be traced back to them while they’re doing Shady Things, and b) they’re of the “I wash my hands, that’s clean enough, fuck you, I’ll never get sick” mindset re: hand sanitizer lmfao

6.  what parts of your character's voice/manner of speaking are distinct, if any?

andy’s got a THICK new york accent (which is FUN considering the game takes place in texas). they also tend to slur their words a bit, like they don’t enunciate very clearly, and they say “fuck” maybe ten times per sentence. I literally said to jd the other day “the word ‘fuck’ is like breathing” sdlkfsd

8.  how did your character feel when they left home for the first time?

bad lmao. they moved from nyc to rural texas right before their senior year of high school and have been extremely bitter about it ever since. they’re a freshman in college now and they’re going somewhere that’s only like two towns away from where they moved to w their dad, and it kind of sucks in a number of different ways, bc in an ideal world they’d have gone back to ny, but they wouldn’t necessarily be able to afford it, plus they couldn’t in good conscience go that far away from their dad, and even this is a weird distance that feels... too close to feel like they’re actually Away At College, and close enough that if they could drive they probably would be still living at home and just commuting to school, but since they ARE living on-campus they feel detached enough to like worry about what their dad is up to without them sflkd

15.  have you ever said something as your character that stuck with you for a while after? what was it?

it’s early enough in the campaign that we really haven’t had any like big emotionally poignant moments yet (and esp since I played a different character for the first couple sessions before andy came in), so I don’t really have any Dope Quotes to drop, but I will say that after the last session the gm told me that we basically speedran the module and are currently at a part of the story that was supposed to come way way later bc andy and lorelei specifically figured shit out way sooner than we were supposed to lmfao. no quotes yet but “the duckduckgo search that broke the campaign” definitely stuck with me sldkfs

if you wanna pick your own favorite andy quote, listen to ravens roost radio ;) ;) ;) (andy shows up in episode 6)
