Today is my birthday. In the past month some things in my life haven't been going great. I've been trying to turn it around… but recent news really didn't help. Today completely flipped that on its head. Nearly 100 people who I consider friends made a birthday album for me:

The whole album is so well done and just such a wonderful gift. It touched me deeply, and I'm so happy and surprised and proud and thankful, and I am going to use the positive energy from today to push through in all the challenges coming up, remembering that my friends got my back. Love you all.

Related to that, and this tumblr page… I will be answering more of the FAQs here for real, this weekend! Someone asked for random useless trivia for the wiki, and while I'll think of a more fittingly random answer later, here's something I feel that it's an appropriate day to reveal: since May, I've been a backroom member of SiIvaGunner. I do some of the uploading now, and a decent amount of managing projects and logistics, alongside the many others who do that vital work keeping the channel running at max quality. I'm honored to be part of it and I try not to take it for granted.

That's all I have to say on that. Catch me at MAGFest 2025 if you can!

what got u into the ripping community? :0

In like mid-2016 one of my IRL friends tagged me in an Instagram reupload of the GameCube Smooth Criminal rip, it was really up my alley as a 13 year old obsessed with memes and YTP(MV). I really wanted to know where that came from so I looked in the comments for the uploader and saw SiIvaGunner and searched it up

(August 1, 2016)

I think for a while I was still confused about the channel, I don't remember my exact thoughts but it was probably like the fact that I can tell there are memes in these but why is nothing about it saying what they are?? But hey I stuck around, hopped on TTGD when it was created right after the channel ending and found more fanchannels and explored the wonderful world of high quality rips. Most of the early community interaction I had was in the comment sections and the subreddit. I tried my hand out at mashups too because I was already a Vegas user so I intuitively knew how mashups could work because I've stretched clips before. I made my first melodyswap in late November and emailed it to TTGD but never got a response back. It was naturally pretty bad but I transcribed the joke in the rip by constantly pausing and playing a Synthesia video lol

But for what technically really brought me into the Discord communities was a comment I left on a TTGD rip asking about ripping.

(January 29, 2017)

Thank u weeg... I made my Discord account shortly after and the first server I joined was the SiIvaGunner fanserver because I knew the invite link was on the subreddit. I assume I joined the TTGD fanserver at the same time too considering the comment that prompted me to make a Discord account was about joining the TTGD server but the original place is long gone so I don't know for sure.

Most of what set me in the community early on though can be attributed to TTGD and VvvvvaVvvvvvr because those places encouraged me to make stuff and being an active contributor made me closer to those servers where I met a lot of people and the rest is history. I am very thankful to all that were apart of my journey :)

old town ribbon race

Season 4 Episode 1 Featured on: The SiIvaGunner Spooktacular Halloween Horror Special Collection '17​-​'19

Ripped by Moder112

Y'know, I've had this rip in the drafts for a pretty long while - I've wanted to write about it for so long, but its almost difficult to explain why I like it so. I sometimes wonder how many other people are as attached to the original Intro Title / Minigame Theme - Barbie Horse Adventures: Blue Ribbon Race as I am - it was a genuinely shocking little rip that managed to utilize the creepiness of the original song, whilst also tying it all subtly to the ongoing side story of Mr. Rental's rampage on SiIvaGunner. Yet it was the kind of rip that didn't make its presence all too known after the fact - save for a big reappearance on SiIvaGunner Fusion Records last year with *** EVERYTHING IS FINE ***, the rip's appearances have been pretty darn scarce. That is, at least, on SiIva - what I learned in researching for coverage on old town ribbon race, is that the meme took on a life on its own elsewhere in the internet.

That's right, it's fan channel time again - the very same one that V​-​v​-​v​-​v​-​v​-​a​-​V​-​v​-​v​-​v​-​v​-​v​-​r covered not that long ago, even. Its always a bit difficult to discern...anything, about Vvvvvavvvvvvr from the outside looking in, because of just how vast and bizarre its output is - its a channel that accepts submissions of just about ANY kind and has made it its brand to basically be a dumping ground for any sort of vip (Vavr's name for high quality rips) possible. Yet through it all, in 2017, a certain familiar Barbie game for Game Boy Advance made a reappearance - with a vip simply named Horse: Blue Ribbon. From there, the meme was reborn on the channel as just "Horse", mainly using a remix of the original theme by ripper Moder112 as its main source for future vips - continuing to see use pretty regularly in a number of bizarre, spooky rips.

All of that was, of course, entirely lost on me - yet in a way, that made discovering old town ribbon race on SiIva all the more impactful for me. I had no clue that others remembered this bizarre one-off horror rip as much as I did, nor that there had secretly been this subset of rippers already fiddling around with how to turn this eerie theme into something so hummable. Old Town Road is a song I already find deviously catchy, one I've covered before with Mob Corral - and so to me, old town ribbon race wound up feeling like the perfect culmination to things all those years later. The rip that had filled my 2016 self with such intrigue was now finally being played around with in fun, creative ways - by, as I'd now later learn, none other than the very same ripper who'd been doing so for years beforehand without me knowing.

There is of course a comedy to old town ribbon race inherently, in making a country/pop banger out of a theme otherwise most known for how much it unsettles people. But there's that other part as well - it IS genuinely a banger, using so many creative and fun GBA-quality samples that all feel in line with the original creepy song, even including the sampling of Among Us sound effects used for its percussion. A lot of the samples are from Moder112's prior mentioned remix, yet the authenticity of the rip was so good that I hardly even considered that as a possibility - it doesn't sound like its using anything "fan made" so much as its just naturally working outward of what Old Town Road would sound like in this style.

I'm really happy that nothing gets forgotten on SiIva - that was one of my big talking points in Violet Snow Memories, if you'll recall. This really isn't one of those cases, because Horse found a life all on its own - yet its almost just as fun to see how memes like it live on in such strange, silly ways. Meme evolution! How fun. old town ribbon race. What a good rip.

Hi, AMA

I'm going to have an open AMA here for the time being (at least the next few months). Feel free to send in asks on anything, like:

SiIvaGunner or other ripping-related projects I'm a part of, like VvvvvaVvvvvvr. (I'll answer on most things that I have direct knowledge of and that can be revealed, otherwise I'll either quietly skip it or explain why I can't/won't answer in detail.)

Technical help/questions: the main programs I can do that for are Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop, FL Studio and Melodyne 5 standalone.

Anything else you can think of (I can't really think of what else people would care about but hey, surprise me)

Click the "Ask me anything!" button on the front of my profile, or click this link! https://www.tumblr.com/new/ask/minindo

I might not get through all of these in a timely manner, but I will read all of them eventually.

does your music taste differ from alter to alter? how? (from this ask game)

it differs enough to where we're fighting over what to listen to on the bus every morning LOL

every alter seems to have a singular band or genre they gravitate towards. most of these are just variations of rock or electronic

under the cut: as much music taste info as i can remember about each alter

dia - mashups mainly but also rock/some 2000-2010s pop. no specific bands afaik

dreams - stuff you would hear on a classic rock radio station

frag - ditto ^ but tends to be into the softer songs

splitter - splittercore (where he chose his name lol) or speedcore, no specific bands/artists

kiki/blaise - wide variety of genres; likes the band incubus notably but is starting to dabble in bjork and femtanyl songs

l3ga - mashups lol

miles - anything with synths in it. #1 c418 fan forever

mira - likes nin but likes justice more

moods - "dad rock"

mysikt - "adhd music", any mashups with a lot of samples or that's really fast

n - number one lcd soundsystem fan for fucking eversauce. trying to get back into tears for fears and has been dabbling a little bit into goth music

siiva - high quality rips. obviously

me (vavr) - rips and mashups i guess. ive been looking to get into sugar ray because ive liked a couple of their songs a lot

vega - i dont actually know
