Forgotten Friday #179 - 朔 / Saku

 I wonder if I could somehow use something like Bluetooth to type from my phone directly instead of using Google docs… (I downloaded several apps - none of them allowed swipe to type, so it was worse than struggling with the wireless keyboard!)

Forgotten Friday #179 - 朔 / Saku

Okay so, Saku is a boy who looks twelve years old who lives on the moon. His job is to go out on full moons to other stars to learn songs to teach to everyone else on the moon.

I just got so giddy seeing he lived on the moon because of something probably no one remembers. When Cracked was on life support and was barely hanging on to being half decent before they made comments a paid subscription, there was an article titled something like "her father owns the moon." It's nothing but complaining about a fictional woman who has the perfect life because her family is so rich, her father owns the moon.

Why?

I don't know! That's high quality compared to what Cracked is now, so who even knows!

Who is Saku?

Wiki Wednesday #168 - Tsuyuri Mochida / 持田つゆり

I feel like a different person now than who I was previously. I like this wireless keyboard now!

Wiki Wednesday #168 - Tsuyuri Mochida / 持田つゆり

Tsuyuri is a fifteen-year-old voiced by iizumo when iizumo was thirteen apparently! That's a fun fact about youngins setting the age of their UTAUs. Just jumping straight to "is an eighteen-year-old adult" feels too far off, even if the stories you want to write would logically require your UTAU to be eighteen. Not for inappropriate reasons, just because how would a sixteen-year-old live by herself in a new country without going to school? How does the visa process go with that?

My UTAU was sixteen at first because I was fourteen when I made her. When I turned fifteen, I bumped her age up to seventeen as far as I can remember. Two years is just the right amount of close enough to be relatable, but older enough to feel "grown enough" to move to a new country with no visa and no form of guardianship.

Tsuyuri is overly emotional and love bombs everyone she cares about. Isn't that a bad thing? Not to a kid. There's layers of the human experience that don't sink in during youth - constant cakes and gifts sounds like it could have no ulterior purpose. She's written as this being a good and endearing thing, which I totally get.

She also loves sweaters and baking.

Use My Voice to Make Your UTAU Sing Cantarella Realistically!

 Can you use Praat instead of VocalShifter?! How can you make a CV UTAU voicebank realistic? I'm actually using SEO tricks I learned at LearnMMD!

Use My Voice to Make Your UTAU Sing Cantarella Realistically!

Hey there! Before we get started, two shout-outs! First, to Hataori-P. He was able to make the scripts that make this all possible! Secondly, thank you to Kwirk Music for actually suggesting a blog post tutorial instead of a video! (thank you so much, videos are much trickier to do than blog posts!)

So, what does this tutorial aim to do? This:

Forgotten Friday #177 - zimo / ジーモ

 Whoo! I have a mouse now!

Forgotten Friday #177 - zimo / ジーモ

Zimo is a fifteen year old zombie. He likes quiet and humidity and seems to be a miserable person who wore rags even when he was alive. He was so miserable in fact, a mushroom grew from his head.

He wasn't a person who was turned into a zombie in the traditional sense of getting bitten and changing, but instead he was chilling in the soil and just woke up on Halloween.

At least, that's what Bing Translate says.

Who is Zimo?

 Boy howdy am I really far behind!

Wiki Wednesday #166 - Minty Mascgrinn / マスクグリン ・ミンティー

I… don't know. Minty is an ageless woman made by ChibiMango-Flooferz. She has a partner who is a … green alpaca? Minty herself is a… mint green fox with wings? Is she a bat?

Thankfully, there's more information on the utaforum. She's actually a sixteen-year-old dog-bat hybrid who is very gullible.

Forgotten Friday #176 - 左上禰 / Sagami Dei

 It's presumptuous of me to ask, but like, y'all know how I have a metal roof? It's sleeting on the roof, and it's very concerning. It sounds just like a heater that's ready to give up the ghost or a computer that's really, really not having a good day. Or, possibly, like a mouse mousing about. All of that would be extremely concerning if it was the case - but no. weather.

Forgotten Friday #176 - 左上禰 / Sagami Dei

Dei Sagami is a Windows Title Bar. He can be any kind of title bar you want on the condition that it is a Windows title bar. Because this was made during the XP era, the default is an XP title bar. (I wonder how long it takes for someone to ask 'what? experience era?')

It feels so silly, because his biography literally explains how title bars work. I'm... not sure who needed that explained, but it has been!

I think there is a huge misconception about his character. Often, Sagami Dei is depicted as being an entire window with a face that has a body coming out of it. Nope! He's just the title bar itself.

Also, he comes with a program? It modifies the title bar somehow? Not opening it, but huh.

Who is Dei Sagami?

The shading style in his official art is really cool.
