[solariex]

tomorrows saturday.....and alan becker content gets uploaded on saturdays.....and ave coding was hinted in the newsletter.......and now ave's playlist got updated TODAY

i wanna be special and say what if we get a new video tomarrow ?????? (heavy on the 'what if' though)

[victimis]

one of the best parts of cartoons is that if you ever apply any sort of real world logic to their behaviors they just become deeply deeply mentally ill and unwell individuals regardless of what theyre like in their reality.

[indighostoast]

Personally, mine went something like this:

*Sees video of the original Animation vs Minecraft*

Me: “Oh, I kind of remember watching this as a kid! I didn’t know there were so many episodes that were released after this. Maybe I’ll watch it :p”

Me after binging the entire series: “I’m not gonna cry over stickfigures, THEY ARE STICKFIGURES, dangit I’m crying”

Originally posted this on ao3 but I thought it would be fun to post it on tumblr too lol

anyways hello ava/avm tumblr, i don't post a lot but I might try more in the future

Random compilation of Red & Blue moments that I haven’t already freaked out about:

BLUE LOOKING OUT FOR RED, BLUE FOREVER THE PROTECTOR OF HIS FRIENDS <333

Literally Blue using some of her limited speed potion effect just to make sure Red doesn’t fall over is just a cute small detail auughhfhhd

And then checking up on him after he fell from a high place when the lucky block staff was defeated </3

The two just being silly in the note block concert, I love u noteblock concert episode I’m so sorry Green </3

BLUE JUST BEING TIRED BUT JUST ACCEPTING OF RED’S TOMFOOLERY I LOVE THEM also sorry the last gif is in such bad quality oof

I will never shut up about them

Sometimes I think about how Orange might actually be even better at music than Green and we’ll never know because music isn’t something Orange does for fun.

We never actually see Orange discover noteblocks; he was absent for most of that episode. The first time we do see him interact with a noteblock is an entire season later, in an episode that he is, again, mostly absent for. And yet, the first time we ever see him touch anything resembling a musical instrument, his skills are already comparable to Green’s, whereas the other three all needed a musicality potion to even keep up with Green.

Then there’s the warden episode, in which Orange manages to invent a crafting recipe for a slide-flute in the space of about ten seconds using nothing but random junk he’d found, and it works. Then he’s able to improvise a woodwind rendition of Pigstep by ear, after only hearing it once, in the background of a chaotic fight that he’d been an active combatant in.

Also he can read sheet music. We don’t even know if Green can do that. (Yes I know he used King’s staff to project a musical staff during the note block concert, but how much of that was him and how much of that was King’s staff?)

The only musical thing he seems to actually have trouble with is singing, and we don’t even know if it’s truly difficult for him or if the environment he was in at the time simply thwarted his efforts (he was in an Adobe window when he tried to sing; would he have had better results if he’d instead been in Minecraft at the time? Or even just on the desktop?).

Either way, it’s clear that Green is the best at singing. But it’s entirely possible that Orange may be on the same level as Green when it comes to playing musical instruments. Orange might even have a leg up on Green in this regard, given that he understood the mechanisms of a non-noteblock flute well enough to craft a working one himself. They both seem to understand music theory well enough to improvise, but we also have proof that Orange can read sheet music and play by ear.

And I find it fascinating that Orange might be better at music than Green is, and yet music is still considered to be Green’s domain of expertise, simply because he is more musically inclined as a person than Orange is.

Because when Orange makes music, it’s a means to an end. He has to outperform everyone in the note block battle only so they’ll quiet down and let him sleep already. He has to macgyver a flute that can play an ancient forgotten song only so the warden will be pacified, and later swayed to his cause. He tries to sing because Green enjoys singing and wanted to share in that joy with him. He’s in the concert because Green wanted to have a concert and wanted his friends to accompany him. When Orange makes music, it’s never simply for the sake of making music. It’s always for something or someone else, always some other reason.

Whereas for Green, music is much more. It’s a hobby, a creative art, a passion, a skill to test, a performance, a means of self-expression, even a way to communicate. For Green, the music itself is the reason.

Even compared to the others, he is different in this; for Red, Blue, and Yellow, making music with each-other is half the fun, it’s a way to socialize and bond, whereas Green enjoys making music alone as well as in collaboration with the others.

Meanwhile Orange, while being indisputably good at music, better than the other three and possibly better than Green, simply doesn’t gravitate toward it at all unless nudged.

[awfuckitssunshine]

Coda Note Au - Bad End!Green

After the concert, Green vows to never use their voice again

Their friends didn't care how their concert was hijacked, laughing as they were attacked by silverfish, mocking his endless perfectionism, hating the way they got extra competitive

Green loves his friends so... they make themself something for their friends to love him back

Silent, agreeable, speaking only when spoken to, and never singing again

He can't show off if there's nothing to show off...right?

They let Red prank them even tho they hate it

They let Yellow lecture them without defending themself

He let's Blue take all his noteblocks and doesn't bother to say anything when they're broke or unreturned

He let's them win everything, even things he's good at, at some point he stops playing all together

When they meet up with Purple, it's funny

Green opened his mouth to speak and found there was nothing at all

No words and no music, not a little sound

Green smiles at Purple and signs; *At least I can't annoy you now either*

[unusual-brewing-au-askblog]

the noteblock keeps pestering me about the concert and the silverfish... which one of you thought this was a good idea

[alan-becker-confessions]

on the noteblock concert thing where king drops his goggles is abnormally funny to me, like,

"wha-"

"WAIT NO ITS HAPPING AGAIN-"

I reacted pretty similarly to him on my first watch when Green got crushed. Like, I dropped my tablet.

[purpurps]

purple ❤️‍🔥 🖕 🫂

green 👽 🔪 😭

yellow 💝 🔪

i dare u to answer all of these . (totes ok if u cant and would like 2 pick n choose)

OH IM ANSWERING ALL OF THEM ALRIGHT

okay purple first up

❤️‍🔥 A romantic headcanon

as u know i am the number one grapeduo shipper. however i think purple questioned their feelings towards every cg member at least once.

🖕 A headcanon relating to anger

they get angry over very small things. but they feel like they can’t express their anger around other people so they usually let it out when they’re on their own.

🫂 A friendship headcanon

they love their friends a lot, but they have trouble showing it at first. they have very small ways of showing affection.

now green

👽 A headcanon about a weird quirk of there

he always drums on tables and everyone else finds it annoying sometimes

🔪 A headcanon relating to fighting/violence

he loves having friendly fights w his friends but he feels really bad if he actually hurts anyone

😭 A headcanon about the worst thing that happened to them.

okay i was gonna say the noteblock concert BUUUUT….. i think maybe the times he found out purple was betraying him.

yelow

💝 A headcanon about their love language

i think she’s a big fan of hugs. she doesn’t give them often but if someone hugs her then she lets them hold on for as long as they want :)

🔪 A headcanon relating to fighting/violence

they’re very much a long range fighter. but when they actually do hand to hand combat they’re surprisingly good at it.

[three-bunnies-in-a-trenchcoat]

OKAY SO FOR RAMBLING. firstly. Green's shorts with the music blocks are so so sooo funny to me, and their concert????? 10/10. I love it. Like i listen to the music at full blast because of how good it is. I also really liked the YouTube episode- honestly, Green and Orange were a great team and the idea of uploading themselves??? fluffing genius.

I love everyone's personality so so much. Green can be SO smug its honestly hilarious (referencing the Cake Prank episode, i was literally crying), but these little stick figures have so much compassion in them too its crazy. (episode 30, mc, aka the noteblock universe). i like how everyone has their own gimmick too! i had a bunch of notes while watching everything, with details about each stick. Green probably kins spiderman i think

I think instead of doing plot or shenanigans or whatever we should just have Green playing music and vibing (or a villain arc) until the next ava. He deserves it

The youtube episode is honestly one of my favorites that's not directly in ava/avm. It's so absolutely silly and fun

Yeah the gimmicks are fun!!! They all have their own specialties!!! Why do these stick figures have more personality than some characters from actual books

[inksandpensblog]

AU where instead of using a piston to glitch an enderpearl through the command-reinforced bars, Green just pulls out the multiple noteblocks y’all know he keeps on his person at all times and starts throwing a very loud private concert until either his wayward friends are drawn to him by the sound of sick guitar riffs or Mango sets him free out of sheer annoyance.

.Hololive Quarterly Report

I was trying to write this, then it became painfully too long, so I stopped and I’m going to try a much abbreviated version. I don’t why I’m writing this preamble.

Usada Constructions - Buy

CEO Pekora has come back from the creative crisis in late January, her response to the Akukin relay, Pekoland has been quite the success, and Pekora has hired three new people and taken two into actual production, and there has been talks of two more recruitments. Usada constructions has been the premier revenue maker in the server already and with renewed vigor, Pekora has inadvertently cornered the service industry, with her business associate Moon, making the HoloID mall, and hiring Botan or Menya Botan and Kiara of KFP in the process, and thinking hiring Watame, which has a food delivery service.

Future is looking bright for UsaKen and one should buy the stocks now.

Akukin Constructions - Sell

Akukin has a bright start with the recent hiring spree then the wildly successful AKukin Building Relay... and boasting 25% of the workforce in their wake. But CEO has been hampered with failure of her personal projects, first with her loss in the Mario Kart tournament, and then her failure to get the elusive solo Master in Apex. Perhaps, buoyed by her failure, she’ll return to Minecraft, but for now... there has been minor outing of the employers.

Both Mio and Marine went on Minecraft once after the relay, Marine to push Kanata to make her noteblock machines, and Mio in basically upkeep. Rest of the players have been quiet or have been associated with other people. Roboco have played once of twice, although she didn’t even participated in the relay. Choco has been mostly working as a broker for Flare, who is a contractor for Akukin. Lamy and Nene has been basically doing their own thing, mostly since they haven’t had anything else to do... and that’s it, I believe. Iofi, Mel, and Akirose never returned to Minecraft after the relay.

Well, Shion returned after four months with Rushia as the guide... but seriously, Akukin is all but over unless there is a serious reorganization. Sell them!

Shirauni-Elite Conglomerate - Buy

This is outside of current consensus, but it makes for me because it fits the current state of things. Miko and Flare first found their calling by basically gaslighting Kanata into operating a school. They have sense collaborated many times, Flare being part of the four heavenly kings and expanding their partnership in the urban environment, more specifically in Los Santos.

Flare’s turn in Minecraft basically leads me to reassess Flare’s strengths. Flare was kind of the straight man of the 3rd Gen, but she has shown that she could be as wild and unpredictable as the rest of the Hololive Fantasy. Flare eventually roped Polka into an apprenticeship, and Polka’s ability to pop into the most unexpected direction really helped with Flare’s stream as well.

Flare is having the time of her life, and her lover Noel has finally turn the tide on her devastating decline due to the great ASMR purge in early 2020, by embracing the English duolingo... finally passing up people, after falling so far.

Yeah, you should buy here. Although Miko’s recent pause is little worrisome...

Oozora Constructions - Hold

Subaru has been doing a lot of work... her biggest strength has been her free talks, she is a great storyteller, but that’s obviously hampered by language, which is why Subaru made the difficult move of having English summary in her topics, which is a great improvement for her... but her collabs have been on fire, and I mean Oozora Police was just amazing, with good timing as well.

Apparently Subaru has a new costumes, collabs, and original songs coming up in the next quarter, so Subaru is going to surpass already high expectation made during this quarter. As for her company though... well, Subaru has been a... lone duck in the situation. (Sorry for the pun)

Famously outcasted as Kanata and Marine were chatting up with Moona and Reine, Subaru has been lonely for quite sometime. Subaru has been working an actual commission from Korone, although Korone is most inconsiderate Hololive member (as evidenced by two consecutive Kuukiyomi tests), which is a bad sign. Rushia has been working well, both independently and with Subaru... now Luna... that’s the cinch of the situation at this moment.

I’ll talk about Luna later, but overall Oozora has its strength and weakness perfectly balanced. It’s a hold for me, although it can be a buy quickly...

Haachama Constructions - Buy

Haachama started off kind of lost. She recently moved back to Japan, and she didn’t really knew what direction to go off on... apparently a horror unfiction was her choice. It is a great unfiction, in all its spirit, the meta-component worked perfectly, the improvisational and interactivity was unparalleled, it is astounding that this a one-woman production, since even a dedicated team might not pull off this feat, taking images made minutes before the stream is due and incorporating them into the story flawlessly.

Akai Haato always impressed me, but this arc showcased that to everyone. And her future seems to be bright as she starts working on Season 2. Just buy!

OkaKoro Constructions - Hold

Both Okayu and Korone has been steady in their output, minimal collabs and continuing their series of old games. Korone has been particularly clever in her selection of games. Everyone playing Undertale, why not play the game that inspired the whole thing, Earthbound? People are playing Dragon Quest? Well, how about a classic version, Dragon Quest 3, instead of 11S?

But other than that, there wasn’t much going on... then the OkaKore anniversary concert happened, and I realized they still have so much progress. One commenter said how Bloom was a failure because there wasn’t any idols in that list, namely Watame, Okayu and Korone, and I started to agree.

But that’s just one performance, we don’t know if this would be foundation for something better. So let’s hold on the papers for now.

Kureiji Constructions - Hold

There’s always a bit of anxiety when one is lauded as the next new star, least to me, I was always anxious about Ollie’s growth. She could be great, she has plenty of talent, she’s a massive simp and a social collaborator, but her personality can turn on a dime if not careful. Fortunately, Ollie made good on herself, having one of the more explosive growth and becomes generally accepted as a peer, recently doing a large Mario Kart collab.

It’s still a hold, since I have residual anxiety, but this is a good stable company.

Seiso Pillars - Buy

I never really got the appeal on Sora, until she put on her glasses on. Her movement was so fluid and practiced, you can tell she’s a young lady with ambition, which is contrary to the goddess image. Azki has been making the move that Suisei did in end of 2019, slowly putting herself in the comedic spirit of rest of Hololive, and her Vtuber showcase is freaking phenomenal.

Suisei has been flirting with the pillar in Minecraft, and bring the third of HoloKazo(?) in Los Santos, letting her psychopathic side fully. Suisei used her arbitrary demonitization to her advantage, reinvigorating her streams immensely. I thought about holding, but honestly this is a buy. They are going to get better.

Shirakami Forestry - Hold

Fubuki wanted to finish her cherry tree by spring. Well, that didn’t happen. But Fubuki has been doing okay. Fubuki has made some radical moves this year, firmly associating with Coco. Remember that Fubuki’s explosive growth was due to Chinese fans, and this is true of Aqua as well (which is why Aqua has been more distant lately), so to associate with one of the most hated Vtubers by the ‘West Taiwanese’ is a risk, but one made with the knowledge that her base can be shifted, since this did not impact her growth at all.

So Fubuki is going to be Fubuki, no matter who she associates with. Hold.

Free Agents - ???

Matsuri might be the most valuable free agent, but she’s kind of like a public official, helping to keep stock on the commons, and helping Luna as well. This is why Luna is the kingmaker. Luna has connections with both Subaru and Matsuri, but their connection is either loose or non-associative. She can be convinced, but she could easily refuse... and who knows how that would affect Pekora.

Most people thought Matsuri was going to join UsaKen, and that might still be the case, although Pekora is notoriously uncomfortable of senpais.

Risu is next valued player. After her explosion in the 4th quarter, Risu has been struggling to keep afloat, although Risu seems to be fine with her laggard growth. Her impromptu Nier;Automata streams are always a delight, and her Spring soundboard has been fun as well. Risu also returned to Minecraft for a bit, so she might be on the hunt... she would be a great addition to UsaKen.

Ayame is the third player. Ayame has been inconsistent this quarter, mostly since she streams the least amount out of anyone. Her recent collab with Marine was something though, although that’s going to be paused for a bit.

Anya is the last person, just because she doesn’t have Minecraft and she is the least subscribed member. I think it was surprising how Anya’s stream has been. Instead of doing gatcha and perhaps talking stream, her game selections has been far off the beaten path, more so than Korone and Okayu, and she has been blazing (that’s another pun) her own trail much to her detriment.

I mean she’s fine in the grand scope of things, still very interesting move.

Okay, that was the short version, and even then it’s really long so... yeah.
