Never Did I Think I Would Live To See A Public Assassination Attempt On A US Politician.

Never did I think I would live to see a public assassination attempt on a US politician.

This is quite the rollercoaster of a timeline, isn't it?

me looking for ace/aro characters: lets go gambling!

[character's sex repulsion is used for jokes] aw dang it

[character is put in sexual situations despite disliking it] aw dang it

[character's identity is ignored by fandom] aw dang it

[characters creators sexualize them] aw dang it

[aro character gets 'fixed' by true love] aw dang it

[aro/ace character is literally an animal] aw dang it

[creator messes up definition of asexuality] aw dang it

[characters asexuality is never brought up in media] aw dang it

Song cover update: I just got done tuning the first verse for each part. It's time-consuming, but it's also fun to really learn the ins and outs of the VOCALOID6 software.

Each character/vocal is giving me unique challenges, too.

GUMI is pretty soft no matter how much I increase her DYN or Expression (AI) values, so her volume slider in the mixer is permanently set to 3.0. Her longer notes can also be a bit raspy/funky, and figuring out how to soften them isn't always straightforward. Mixing her SOLID voicebank with her original V6's "Megpoid Default" Style filter actually produces some nice, well-rounded results, so that's neat.

Una has been the most difficult for me to work with so far. I'm using her Spicy voicebank since Sweet is a bit too soft for this song's energy, but she still isn't that clear or powerful on her own. The "Una_Spicy_Bright" Style filter adds a bit of noise, but it also really helps her bring out her consonants and sound a bit more "punchy."

HARUKA really doesn't like vibrato. She also overpowers the others A LOT by default, so I nerfed her Expression (AI).

SARAH sounds the most bored of the four without tuning, but she's been pretty easy to work with otherwise. She responds well to parameter adjustments.

The fact that one of the writers for Rise is pushing the hashtag, AND implying that we can get more if the comic does well is SOMETHING!

Support the comic if you can! Let’s get our boys back on that screen! We were SO CHEATED!

Also, I figured out why Andrealphus looks so disgusted. It's not hypocritical homophobia.

It's Chaz. Chaz is eyeing him up.

Honestly, I can't blame him. I'd be recoiling, too.

Thoughts on this official Helluva Boss Pride artwork?

Here are mine:

I love all the pan representation, but I'm kinda jealous of how many pan characters there are, too. I know I shouldn't be. Emotions are just funny like that sometimes, though.

My ace Octavia headcanon is now canon! ...At the cost of Mammon also being ace. He's fun to watch, don't get me wrong, but I mean... Mammon. -w-"

We've got some nice bi-ace solidarity with Loona and Octavia. That's always great. :)

The spade symbols on Mammon's robe and hat... Is it just for the aesthetic, or is he now our only confirmed aroace character across the Hellaverse? (I still staunchly believe that Alastor is aroace, but for some reason, the people at Spindlehorse refuse to say anything either confirming or denying it...)

Verosika's hairstyle is fun, especially with the heart-shaped curls at the ends.

It's nice that multiple trans characters (not just Sallie May) are included. I wonder if we'll ever get any nonbinary characters, though.

Chaz is definitely Chaz.

I say, I say, Wacky Wally Wackford is just the happiest demon in this picture!

It would be cool if at least one of the succubi/incubi had an orientation other than pansexual, but oh well.

More lesbians would be nice, too.

Pride Month may be coming to a close, but remember, July is Wrath Month. :p

HOLY CRAP GALACO'S GETTING A V6 UPDATE!!!
