—🌸

Why thank you!! Yeah An does NOT have a whimsical time in that fic and it only gets worse for her 😭😭😭😭 ill update soon I prommyyy next chapter is almost done and I think it's pretty fun....heh.... (I'm learning the very valuable lesson that writing two vbs longfics at the same time is not wise)

[vivid-bad-brainrot]

i looooooved ur recent video it was super funny but rlly well thought out <3 and the art was so cute too!!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! I'm glad my humor didn't fall flat I kinda just scripted the first words that came to my head LOL

I have a ton more videos cooking up soon too!! I wanna make videos individually breaking down each duo in vbs 😼 and u also want to do a huge giant light up the fire retrospective

[vivid-bad-brainrot]

who’s your favorite character from vbs? (sorry if you’ve answered this before)

also i really like your fanfics :D

I had to do a double take when I saw this in my inbox because from the amount of an shiraishi art and fanfiction I pump out i thought ibwould get the point across but!!!! My favorite character is an!!! She's been my comfort character for ages and I shed tears looking at her 🥺 waaaaaah anchan

After an my faves are the rest of vbs and then radder

And thank you for the compliment!!! I'm gonna update the vbs time travel fic soon I prommy....I've been very busy working on my wl2 rewrite

[vivid-bad-brainrot]

saw the short hair an drawing and I am immediately hooked on wherever your wl 2 rewrite is going. I don't have any concrete questions but may I have more crumbs if you are willing/want to :'D

(plus. your writing is really good in general adgjkkl especially especially with VBS and RADder's friendships!)

Thank you for the kind words!!! I am more than willing to drop some crumbs so these are little blurbs about what their chapters are focused on thematically and kinda plot-wise :)

oh oh I changed the chapter orders to have an interwoven plot since I didn't like how Akito and an's chapters felt more "reactionary"

An's chapter is first, centering on the grief (with nagi and Kohane and eventually akito) she doesn't take time to handle, and her being shocked when she sees that not acknowledging how her internal conflicts are directly creating external conflict for herself makes even worse problems!! lots of questioning her identity outside of music and her relationships.... poor girl

2. then is Akito, which focuses on his crash and burn in America. it mainly focuses on his hypocrisy, trying to "tie any lose strings" with everyone he knows before he leaves while literally ignoring touya. he yells alot in his chapter, trying to prove touya wrong all while working himself to the bones in a rinky dink motel in queens ny till he eventually crashes out

3. after is touya, with his chapter I try to hone in on how intrinsic music is to his life and how its hard for him to accept that without music he isn't himself. while this is happening, he also contemplates what "home" really means to him as he stays at the tenmas during his spring recess from school.

4. last is Kohane, and I use her chapter to play with the dynamics of the sekailoids (seeing how the breakups have screwed everything up there), giving her initiative to overcome her anxiety and try to unite Vivid bad squad again!!!! this actually makes her face her insecurities, isn't that neat!!!

Feel free to rant about VBS WL2 gang I gotta know now

why vbs wl2 is bad - a pathetic little rant

HIHI thank you for giving me an opportunity to rant holy moly do I have thoughts on vbs wl2..... most of them negative uhhhhh I think what I liked about it was Touya's chapters. they were probably the strongest (actually if I have to rank them on best to worst it bed touya--->an--->kohane--akito). I did enjoy an's whole "it was selfish of me to have dragged Kohane into this" spiel because its something that means a lot to her character and I cried from joy when she was talking about it!! The only think I liked in Kohane's chapter was the whole "it felt nice to BE an's partner" because that mentality stems from insecurity, which again, I wish her chapters dove into more.

Pretty much: I feel like this event wasn't individually character driven enough??? obviously these stories ARE angstbait written by a corporation to get money but we KNOW that PRSK is capable of making stories that are so impactful and beautiful so when they churn out slop like this its kinda insulting yk????? akito would hate the PRSK writers please stop half assing this!!!

most criticism I've seen for this even were "it only focused on the aibous!!!!!" and while that is a valid complaint that's not what made the event so ass. To me, the whole aibous braking up schtick wasn't a lame idea, it's actually really compelling! The main issue is that we didn't LEARN anything new about these characters from how they were acting (except maybe touya. Touya's chapter felt like a genuine character study of him and the fact that it focused more on his relationship with MUSIC primarily is what made it so strong for me!!!

i don't wanna be a whole "why is the author acting like he know so much" but genuinely the way an and akito's chapters were handled.... didn't feel right to me. Akito especially because WHY did he go to America (to get a fresh start???? bro IDK at least touya had a REASON to go to Austria) where he has no connections and cant speak a lick of English?? What was the point of sending him to America if all it did was give us the whole "hey Akito wanna team up" "no" thing??? Personally, I think it would have been stronger if it focused on the original fallout between akitoya (also. WHY THE HELL ARE THEY IN THEIR THIRD ANNI OUTFITS LIKE HAS THAT MUCH TIME PASSED???? I think that amount of time passing hinders the emotional impact also it poses a lot of logistic issues for the whole "it was all a dream" thing but I will get into that later BYE) if they really wanted to go down the America route, I think it did have a LOT going for it.... the writers kinda just did nothing with it? I want to see Akito transitioning from a community-driven-place to NEW YORK FUCKING CITY.... I want him to think this change will be so good for him only for him to totally realize he screwed up. He is a sixteen year old boy!!! Give him an actual REASON to go home because I don't think he'd give a fuck if some random guy from Kamiyama hit him up like what????? (Same goes for touya, in my rewrite I make TSUKASA call him and ask for him to visit! why would he go back for a random guy from school????). Also, we SAW how badly Akito overworked himself in sbd when he isolated himself from touya and vbs. He should NOT be okay in a touya-less world this early game!!!! He's all alone in America goddammit!!!! Touya told him that his dream is bulshit this kid is about to dedicate his life to proving him wrong!!!!!! Anyways. Sorry Akitos chapters pissed me off BAD and Akito is the character I care least about in vbs that's how you know its bad.

moving on to AN's chapters and.... Let's be real, the moment I saw that An's chapters were both five minutes long I knew this event was gonna be bad. First off, I thought an accepting Kohane's break up was pretty interesting (because she has the ingrained idea in her head that Kohane will inevitably leave her, so an is honestly thriving off of the skill gap. can we pls talk about how this kid manages to have both a superiority complex and an inferiority complex at the same time???) but then I thought. Hey. this is AN SHIRAISHI girl you need to fight for your partner!!! Obviously an is emotionally mature enough to know "hey, if singing is gonna make Kohane wanna die I probably shouldn't push her to do it right????" But I would like to see An, who wants to be so so cool in front of Kohane, become completely desperate!! I need to see her go through the five stages of grief within 10 minutes over this girl she's formed a codependent relationship with and known for like two weeks!!! Again, this is where the time skips hinder the emotional impact a lot. ALSO. WHAT WAS THAT SHIT ASS ADVICE THAT KEN GAVE HER??? HELLO??? KEN????????? I believe that after kiuan they replaced ken with his evil twin because this guy is bulshitting parenting (which again. I would like to explore how ken has slowly morphed more into a mentor figure than a father figure but that's a 20k word fic for another time) An: "Hey dad I feel like I cant sing right ever since Kohane left" Ken: "Move forward" An: "Type shit" bro. that literally did not progress the plot at all I'm fucking crying. Anyways, An shiraishi in an aibou breakup scenario probably has the most going for her . can she please realize that her self worth is tethered to everyone she's been attached to??? That she's been chasing shadows her entire life???? Can we take a look on her relationship with music and how its shaped her into who she is??? CAN WE PLEASE DIVE INTO THE CONCEPT OF BEING NATURALLY GIFTED VS HAVING TO WORK TO EARN SKILL????? BECAUSE SHES BEEN TOLD HER ENTIRE LIFE THAT SHE'S A NEPO BABY SO---

Sorry. Anyways. There many possibilities for an abandonment issues shiraishi. ten minutes didn't do shit him sorry.

ok okay and then kohane's chapter was suchhhh a nothingburger it was kind of sad I genuinely don't remember a single thing that happened in that chapter because it was a whole lot of the same sentiment repeated like 10 times. Anyways the route that I would have taken with her chapter was her feeling totally hopeless/?? In my rewrite at least I'm making her jump fully into academics to study and get a "safe" job to counteract her time w/ an. or even better Kohane still yearns for that connection she had with an, she still WANTS to feel special. like hear me out what if anhane were friends, but not singing partners. what if kohane's dreams are literally at arm's length and she refuses to take the leap and try again?? how would an feel about this?? but no lets make her talk to ichika and then make her think about an without diving too deep into her underlying insecurities of course!! /sar.

Also I wonder what the heck was going on in the street sekai when all of this was going down????? like is it falling apart?? are rin and len arguing all the time now???? When An and Akito talk they are all "I'm gonna surpass rad weekend" AKITO HASNT FESSED UP TO COVERING FOR KOTARO'S SABOTOGE YET BTW. LIKE AN SHOULD BE KICKING HIM IN THE BALLS BECAUSE IN HER HEAD *HE* IS THE REASON KOHANE BROKE UP W HER oh my gof

okay and then we get to the part of the event that truly made this event abysmal. I can accept lazy writing but the "it was all a dream" thing was just straight up BAD WRITING???? If their clothes are telling me anything, these characters have been in this "dream" FOR OVER A YEAR. MONTHS HAVE PASSED. you're telling me that when they find out they've been living a dream that felt so real their reaction is "hm.... I wonder if kens coffee will taste in this dream?" EXCUSE ME????? THIS IS MAKING ME SO MAD I MIGHT BREAK MY KEYBOARD. BUDDY YOU HAVE BEEN DREAMING FOR OVER A YEAR WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR EXISTENTIAL CRISIS??????? and then when they get out of the dream they are like "wow I'm so glad that isn't real" ??????? HELLO???? I did enjoy what an said "well that was sad but doesn't it make you happy knowing that we all come together no matter what happens????" WHY IS NOBODY CRYING> BOY. and then everything that happens in this event has ZERO implications for the plot. it will never be mentioned again. hello. genuinely what.

if anyone read this through I am so sorry I put you through that but that sums up why I'm 20k words into a rewrite lmaooooo please tell me ur thoughts!!!!!!!!!!!

[vivid-bad-brainrot]

currently working on a vbs wl2 rewrite because that event pissed me off (feel free to ask why in the ask box I would love to yap about this shit ass event) and i've been having a lot of fun making an shiraishi go through The Horrors in my rewrite. something I did that I thought was neat was making HER cut her hair instead of Kohane...... look how miserable my daughter is

what was it like for miku and the other surviving sekailoids when the new rin and len spawned? i feel like that would be brutal

(and abt who rin and len represent, i feel like they're generally just the concept of aibou, and stand in for whichever pairs having partner trouble in the moment, ex: akty in main story, and an's anxieties in bfby)

Oh wait holy shit I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT that is kinda insane to think about…….. oh my god…. In my head they (being the rest of the sekailoids) never told street sekai rin and len about the radder sekai so they probably try to keep everything under close wraps. I mean after rad weekend they were kinda playing the waiting game and assumed the street sekai was for the “next generation” as nagi proclaimed so they poked and prodded at rin and len to try to get some hints about vbs (but mainly because its confuzzling.…. )If that makes sense

Radder sekai rin and len are there to represent Nagi & Taiga’s relationship! It is more directed towards their childhood selves…. Forcing them to confront their less than savory childhood whoopsies (but thats more made up radder lore for another time) 😝 rin and len are like your stereotypical attatched at the hip protective siblings, with rin being shy and subdued but easily excitable and len trying to be a little macho man and “protect her”. They fr have to fend for themselves in the alleyway sekai since hatsune miku is out here spiking their food for funsies. Whenever nagi talks to them shes like “ok why does this feel so familiar” and empathizing with their situation in this shit show of a sekai she is very maternal towards them and loves them very much. My eebies

Heres an old doodle of them </3

Hey so

You can't just say you have fanfics of a cool ass concept and then not drop a link,,

(Plsplsplsplspls/nf)

I WOULD but i wrote the radder sekai fic a couple years ago and the writing is so stiff and mediocre compared to what i can churn out now….. it does not help that it is 30k words long (and still incomplete) and i am not rewriting allat 💔 i am always down to explain the entire plot if anyones interested im just too embarrased to share my corny 2022-2023 writing

[vivid-bad-brainrot]

i typed out a really long rant that didnt end up making sense about your sekai lore so instead just. know im obsessed its so good . i was Aware of this before but fully like reading your posts just completely reframed how i thought of the sekai and everything its great

how old do you think the sekai actually is? im just like so amazed its so cool thiking abt the implications and lore of the loids being much older than we thought. trying to timeline it in my head. hope this makes sense sorry if u said it somewhere

HI HI HI and THNAK YOU

Ok ok so the alleyway sekai came into existence a couple weeks after hatsune miku came out…. So like 2007 type shit BYE Since prsk takes place in 2021 as of now (i think) that means that the entire sekai is 14 years old 😋 but it belongs soley to radder for 10 years (cause it imploded on itself in 2017 #rad weekend)

This whole setup is really funny because when radder go to their sekai for the first time they aren’t like “omg its hatsune miku!!!!” they are like “WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?????” And miku doesnt explain shit and starts DOXXING them 😭 by far the worst first impression she could have possibly made. Listen shes new to this whole SEKAI thing….. because of this radder does not trust ANYTHING she says and so they spend like ten times longer trying to find their true feelings deadass just because they did not want to listen to her puntable ass bro

[vivid-bad-brainrot]
