A Small Mystery

A Small Mystery

So, there's this Friday Night Funkin' Heathers mod that blew up a while ago, and someone made a Doki Doki Literature Club-themed cover of the Candy Store remix. Here it is if you're curious (but be sure to check out the original, too!).

What's so mysterious about this? To me, it's the vocal samples. I really, really think Vocaloids were used here, but aside from Sayori, I'm not confident about which ones they could be. Here are my best guesses:

Monika: Megurine Luka. Her clips seem to fall in the mezzo soprano range, and Luka was the first Vocaloid in that range who came to mind. I also considered MEIKO, but the clips used here don't have MEIKO's distinct, metallic, somewhat nasal tone.

Sayori: Hatsune Miku. Again, this is the only one I'm really sure of. Her clips have a lot of the same qualities as Miku's voice (i.e., vowel pronunciations and emphasis).

Natsuki: Kagamine Rin or Otomachi Una. Natsuki and Yuri only sing during the final chorus, and they don't have solos; it's difficult to know which clips go to which character. I will be assuming that the higher ones go to Natsuki. In this case, Natsuki's clips are even higher-pitched than Sayori's. Rin and Una are two of the most popular Vocaloids who fit the bill, though there are several more out there.

Yuri: GUMI. It's basically impossible to tell since the lowest clips really blend in during that final chorus, but I'm just going to throw this guess out there. GUMI's my favorite, anyway.

Anyone with sharper hearing or better knowledge of the video, do you have unique insight into this? Were other synths used that I hadn't considered (UTAU, Cevio, SynthV, etc.)? Are these non-vocal synths, rendering me completely off-base? I'm dying to know!!

Find your REAL Angel name

• First two letters of your last name • First vowel of your first name • Third letter of your middle name (or parent’s first name if you don’t have a middle name • Last consonant of your last name • Add IEL or EL to the end!

I just finished the slides, and man...

Freud was weird.

I'm happy with how everything turned out, and I had a ton of fun picking out various pictures of Donnie for each of the slides, but

F R E U D

I'm analyzing Donnie using five different theories of personality in my psychology class tomorrow--and I get to present my work. Wish me luck.

No one is safe from the turtles. All shall fall victim to my obsessions one way or another, even complete strangers. In Donnie's own brilliant words, evil laugh.

Maybe I'll share the slides afterward if I can figure out how.

More Pen Practice

I found a pen on the ground earlier today, and it looked like it needed a new home, so... 👀

Anyway, I wanted to test it, so I did some more pen sketches. This time, they're entirely freehand and entirely pen-based--no rough pencil draft. And of course, I'm also featuring my awesome ten-color pen from my museum trip last month.

Anyway, who did I choose to sketch?

Some of pole-bear's FNAF human designs. The classic four, of course. :)

The pen writes really smoothly (I just have a very rough/sketchy style). I like it a lot!

So yeah. This is just a little tribute to some of the most important fanart in the early days of the FNAF fandom. (I'm not kidding. These designs were everywhere back in the day.) It may be a bygone era, and there are some things that are definitely best left forgotten, but I'll always have these guys with me. They're really special to me.

Sooooo...

One of those newfangled bots that slap you in the face with hardcore, explicit material decided to show up and like one of my posts.

I need eye/brain bleach. Any recommendations?

Two Dumb FGO × Obey Me! Memes

I saw ads for the new Obey Me game, Nightbringer, and I decided to check it out. I love it. It's pure chaos. I was already familiar with the characters from the original game, but I prefer the gameplay and main menu here. Also, the brothers aren't texting us a million times per day.

Anyway, have some memes to celebrate this renewed obsession of mine (and feel free to check the ending tags for more info-dumping).

Note: The first one may be a bit of a spoiler for FGO players who haven't cleared Part 1. View at your own risk. The second one should be okay, though.
