From Most to Least Favorite, How Would You Rank the Fearsome 5 Members?
*Note: Just because a member is lower than the others doesn't mean I dislike them. I love all of them.*
1. Negaduck
I love Negaduck! He's fun to watch and both of his origins are great! You sometimes gotta love a villain who just does it have fun.
2. Megavolt
Megavolt always makes me laugh and was my favorite villain until Negaduck showed up. His voice is also really unique and enjoyable to hear.
3. Quackerjack
QJ reminds me of Harley Quinn-one of my favorite DC characters. I enjoy playful villains who doesn't take things seriously. QJ almost got the second spot, but Sparky has a little more space in my heart.
4. Bushroot
I really like Bushroot and feel bad for putting him this low, but he's not as interesting to me as the others higher than him. He is very cute and I wished he had at least a redemption arc in the show or comics.
5. Liquidator
Poor Liquidator. He kind of got the short end of the stick when it comes to appearances. His origin story is unique, though, other than that, he's pretty bland. I remember reading that Tad Stones, the creator, didn't like Liquidator and decided to not give him as much episodes focused on him as the other members.
Ranking Every Boom Studios DW Comic
I finished reading the Boom Studios comics a few days ago and I liked them. Some parts were kind of underwhelming, but it was still enjoyable. I can’t find the Joe Books series and I’m not sure if I should read them or not.
Anyways, here are my rankings and my short explanations:
6. Campaign Carnage
I liked this series but it was the most underwhelming. When I first heard of Suff-rage and her powers, I was super interested but she was underutilized and kind of bland. What should I expect, she’s a one-off villain.
My favorite part was the Darkwarrior Duck callback and Darkwing’s desperation to bring back Morgana. It’s nice to know that they care for each other that much; the show didn’t do a great job displaying that.
5/10
5. Dangerous Currency
The crossover was fun and cute, though the story was a bit shaky in some places like the explanation on how Negaduck is the slime/ink, and the ending was meh. I don’t mind that this arc is considered non-canon because there are small mistakes that irk me like Drake not knowing Fenton when he appeared in an episode, and Fenton’s mom not knowing her son isn’t Gizmoduck when she’s worn the suit in the show before. Those things break the immersion for me.
6/10
4. Crisis on Infinite Darkwings
This arc was so close to being number 3, but there’s a big reason why that I’ll explain later.
It was a great reference to the famous DC arc and all the other Darkwings were fun to see, especially Quiverwing Duck- his backstory is heartbreaking. I liked that we got more info on Negaduck like his disdain for not being unique and a possible tragic backstory. It was disappointing not knowing more.
The ending was pretty good with bringing back the Tron-splitter and seeing Negaduck’s evil and slightly evil sides(it was funny). The Darkwarrior Duck cameo was also really great. He’s such an underrated character and needs more attention.
And we got more Morgwing development. I may not love them, but they can be cute.
7/10
3. F.O.W.L Disposition Arc
FD almost tied with or lost to CID; however, an aspect really changed my opinion.
Morgana finally being characterized as more than a love interest.
Morgana was my second favorite female character-just below Gosalyn-but I still had issues with her. Like, 1. Her magic talent being inconsistent and 2. Only serving as a love interest. She is so interesting and could be an amazing character. It sucked that the creators didn’t give her the time.
Her strong magic power and willingness to sacrifice herself made her out to be a headstrong and powerful sorceress, which is something I wanted to see.
I also really liked that Darkwing’s weakness is showcased here- his ego- and he actually learns how detrimental it is to his work and the world’s safety. And it actually stuck throughout the rest of the series afterwards.
8/10
2. The Duck Knight Returns
I loved this arc! It was such a great start to the comics! 😍
First, it tackled a situation the show barely touched- what if DW had to quit crime fighting long term. “Toy Czar Us” kind of tackled this though it was very short. We see how much not being Darkwing does to Drake, he’s depressed and disconnected. His intense ego diminished.
Another thing I love was actually seeing how much Launchpad mattered to Drake. We see him having flashbacks with his close friend and getting upset when something reminds him of their adventures. Drake sometimes even calls Launchpad just to hear his voice. It makes my big Drakepad heart beat even harder, and it’s nice to know that their friendship is not one-sided.
Also, having Megavolt and Darkwing as co-workers was amazing. Peak comedy!
The only thing that’s keeping me from giving this arc a perfect score is Negaduck finding out DW’s secret identity. Mostly how it was handled afterwards. Negaduck finds out his alter ego, even goes to house, yet after that he doesn’t take advantage of that info seriously.
9.5/10
1. Darkwing Annual- Quackerjack’s story
I love love love this story! 😍😍😍
Quackerjack is one of those villains that interests me since we see his origin story like Megavolt’s and Bushroot’s. We get to see more into his mindset and what drove him crazy, such as the discredit he gets for his toy ideas.
Although I’m a Quackervolt shipper, I really like Claire and she was a good way to introduce the less villainous side, and make you feel bad for Quackerjack.
It’s also nice to see Darkwing actually have sympathy for his enemies. I’ve always seen Darkwing and his enemies being kind of the same; they are people who want to be noticed but do it in different ways.
The ending was also amazing yet heartbreaking. We can see Quackerjack contemplating what he has done as he’s walking to Claire’s door. Then we see a red glow and Claire opening the door to a Quackerjack toy. He’s regrets everything he has done and thinks he’s only good enough as a toy. That is so sad and relatable. We’ve always had times when we’ve doubted our worth. This story gives Quackerjack more layers in an enticing story. This gives it a perfect score. It also benefits being a solo comic rather than a series like the others.
10/10 🥳
Thank you for reading and I hope you liked it! If you read the comics, I would like to see your rankings. Also, can someone tell me where I can read the Joe Books version incase I want to read it? 😁💕
My Ranking of The Encanto Soundtrack(From Most to Least Favorite)
*The Encanto soundtrack is great and there is no song I dislike*
Here is my ranking:
1. We Don’t Talk About Bruno
I know it’s a pretty basic favorite but I don’t care. I love the music and the different singing styles. Plus, it introduced me to the movie. I heard about how popular this song and I listened to the audio and got hooked. My favorite parts are Dolores and Camilo’s, they are unique and great.
2. Surface Pressure
As someone who has anxiety issues and feels constant pressure, this song really resonated with me. The lyrics were also really, and I got sort of emotional near the end. Jessica Darrow does a great job singing this song.
3. Waiting on a Miracle
I also struggle with feeling out of place in my family so Waiting on a Miracle hit me hard in the feels. I don’t have a lot to say other than I relate to the lyrics and the desperation in Mirabel’s voice to make her family proud.
4. Colombia, Mi Encanto
This song gives me such nostalgia on the good times I had with my grandmother when I was little. And the beat is just so infectious.
5. What Else Can I Do?
Now we are at part of the list where I don’t particularly love the songs.
I don’t know why but I don’t feel much for this song even though it is well produced and the lyrics are good. Maybe it’s because I don’t like Isabella that much. She was a good character but I had trouble connecting with her troubles, especially when the way she was handling it was being mean towards Mirabel. I think I would’ve been more forgiving towards her if a reason for her anger towards Mirabel was addressed and that Isabella’s development was not so rushed.
6. The Family Madrigal
Weirdly enough, I’m not in love with the musical numbers that don’t focus on a specific character. I guess with We Don’t Talk About Bruno is like an ensemble song but the main focus was Bruno. The Family Madrigal is a great song for introducing all the characters in a fun way though I wouldn’t listen to it as much.
7. Dos Oruguitas
I’m not a Spanish speaker so it’s hard for me to connect with this song since it’s all in Spanish. Though, it fits perfectly with the corresponding scene, and I got pretty emotional the first time I saw the scene.
8. All of You
Like The Family Madrigal, I didn’t love All of You because it was an ensemble song. There were some parts are enjoyed like Bruno’s little rap and the small cute moments between the family. Mirabel finally getting a door was so sweet though.
Overall, this is a really cute ending song!
Comment your ranking and your thoughts on mine. 😁
My Top 5 Owl House Ships(Most to Least Fav)
My rankings:
Lumity:
Their relationship development was amazingly written- one of the best enemies to lovers stories. Seeing Lumity support one another and grow individually is so sweet. My favorite moment is their kiss in the S2 finale because it cemented how serious the relationship is and it was the first LGBTQ+ kiss on Disney, which is momentous in representation.
2. Huntlow:
I shipped as soon as they met each other. Willow and Hunter are such great support systems to each other- Willow helped Hunter grow as a person and Hunter sees Willow for the amazing person she is. My favorite moment with them was Hunter comforting Willow in “For the Future” because we see how much mutual care they have for each other.
3. Raeda:
Raine and Eda are so sweet together and a great team. I immediately fell in love with their dynamic and banter in Raine’s debut episode. My favorite moments are when they make music together and Raine protecting Eda from the draining spell.
4. Aladarius:
I most likely ship Aladarius because of my headcanon and the potential they have being a couple. I headcanon that Darius had a crush on Alador since their time in Hexside and was heartbroken when Alador and Odalia got married. I think Darius can bring out Alador’s confidence and self-esteem. Alador and Darius would make a really good couple.
5. Gustholomule:
I never cared for this ship until I saw fanart and rewatched scenes with them together which made me see the appeal. Their dynamic is fun so I think it can translate well to romance. I’m fine with them either being a couple or friends.
What Are Your Top 5 Favorite Musical Songs?
Here are mine(in no particular order):
On My Own: Although I’ve haven’t experienced romantic love yet, I adore this song! It’s well orchestrated and sung by Frances Ruffelle, her voice is beautiful.
The Wizard & I: I can relate to Elphaba’s wish to be accepted since I felt that way too. Idina Menzel’s sings amazingly and gets into character so well. I also saw this song performed live and the way it’s done on stage made me like this song more.
Satisfied: Love the blending of rapping and regular singing in this song. It works so well! Renée Elise Goldsberry nails it and made me see Angelica in a different, but good way.
Breathe: I haven’t heard the whole soundtrack yet, but “Breathe” is such a standout to me so far. Again, I relate to Nina’s fear of disappointing her family(I feel that way 24/7). Mandy Gonzalez sings very well and her high notes are delightful to hear. As an Hispanic, I really enjoyed the addition of Spanish.
I Don’t Need Your Love: Izuka Hoyle nails the vulnerability of Catherine Parr’s sad story of losing her love, and her growing confidence in herself later on. The latter part of the song makes me feel so powerful. All the women singing together by the end was so good! Their voices blended so well together.
Ranking Sherlock Holmes Adaptations by the Quality of Their Dressing Gowns
First, my qualifications: I'm a flamboyant fashion-forward femme who frequently wears dressing gowns.
Rubric: I am scoring based on color, pattern, textural intrigue, garment construction, and fit. In cases where there are multiple dressing gowns per adaptation, I picked my favorite one.
#12 The Seven-Percent Solution (1976)
I hate this one. It's so beige, and the corded details + drop waist ultimately make it look like a monk's tunic. The only redeeming value I can find in this is the slight angled detail with the cording on the sleeves.
#11 Mr. Holmes (2015)
Similar to the last robe with some slight improvements. For one, it has pockets! The pockets have a corded decorative applique, and if you zoom in on a higher-def image you can see that the fabric has an interesting textured weave. I could definitely see it styled well. This robe is ugly, too thin to keep him warm, and fits worse than a burlap sack, but this Holmes is retired and deserves to put comfort and practicality first.
#10 Granada (1984)
This dressing gown is BAD!!! Before you accuse me of being biased against mouse-colored dressing gowns (I am) let me assure you that color is not my only issue with this dressing gown. It commits the ultimate fashion sin- boring. The texture looks decidedly un-cozy. I even hate the construction! There's no belt, or even belt loops, and the pocket is sewn onto the outside of the gown! Nothing wrong with patch pockets per se, but on this robe it looks shabby. This is made all the more painful by the fact that Watson wears multiple colorful and well-textured dressing gowns in this show. I love Granada, but I can't excuse this.
#9 Cushing Holmes (1968)
I really wish I liked this dressing gown more, because I think that Cushing is one of the best-dressed Holmeses we've ever seen. But I simply cannot get behind this. I applaud the bold use of color and how on theme this gown is for The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle, but the red cording and blue looks odd together. In other shots, you can see buttons, but I think a dressing gown should have a nice belt, and I think the buttons are just a bit too formal for what should be a comfortable piece. I love that this is a Holmes who's willing to take a fashion risk, but in this case it did not pay off.
#8 Soviet Holmes (1979)
While this dressing gown is boring, the fabric looks nice and heavy, perfect for curling up cozily in front of the fire on a cold night. Contrary to the Granada plain brown dressing gown, this one has a belt and pockets sewn into the gown. There’s nothing interesting about this gown, but it isn't offensive.
#7 Ritchie Holmes (2009)
Agh! This dressing gown is in tatters! As befits action-hero Holmes, I suppose. It might deserve the lowest spot on the list for its condition, but looking beyond that, I really enjoy the colors and the paisley pattern. It reminds me of a nice Persian rug. The hints of blue set off the reds and oranges nicely, and at one point it must have been a very nice robe. I like that the state of the robe tells us something about the personality of the wearer, but points are deducted because the texture looks a tad rough and it's in an unbelievably rough state.
#6 Basil of Baker Street (1986)
Now we're getting to the good stuff! The magenta dressing gown is set off nicely by the black cuffs, collar, and belt. Extra points for styling it with a green cravat, and because it nearly matches Dr. Dawson's vest. Great character design, and it makes Basil look like a snazzy little rodent.
#5 Rathbone Holmes (1939)
It's harder to judge in black and white, but I really like this dressing gown! The fabric looks like a thick cotton velvet, and the cording gives it a lovely contrast. It's distinguished, but it still manages to look comfortable for smoking a pipe next to Watson.
#4 The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970)
Now this is nice! The velvet is very shiny, slightly green, and I love the quilted collar and pocket. However, upon further inspection, it's not quite a dressing gown, but more like a long smoking jacket, for which it loses points. Still, it's the closest he comes to wearing a dressing gown and perfect for this urbane and fashionable Holmes.
#3 Enola Holmes (2020)
Dare I say fabulous? I love the cerulean on this one! The fabric looks like a soft silk, which isn't exactly the warmest, but very comfortable. The intricate pattern on the collar is very intricate as well. It's definitely not the dressing gown I would pick for a classic Holmes, but it suits this untraditional Holmes perfectly.
#2 William Gillette (1899)
For the man who popularized the deerstalker/Inverness combo, he can certainly rock a dressing gown. Definitely the most authentic on the list (this picture was taken in 1916), I love the quilted collar, pockets, and cuffs. The silky fabric and decorative pattern make for a very stylish sleuth. I particularly enjoy the shape of the pockets and cuffs. Points deducted for an awkward fit and the lack of a belt.
#1 Star Trek: The Next Generation (1988)
"But this isn't an adaptation, it's just an episode of Star Trek!" I don't care! It counts in my heart. And Data has my favorite Holmes dressing gown. Let's break it down. This looks like a velvet gown with a classically Victorian damask pattern. The velvet texture contrasts really well with the quilted silk collar. The twisted cord belt even has a tassel at the end! And to top it off, it's fully lined with bright red silk. It looks comfortable for lounging in, the fabric has a nice heft without being stiff, and the aesthetic is perfect. This is, to me, the ultimate Holmes dressing gown.
Let me know which ones I missed and what your favorite dressing gowns are!
20 Versions of Sherlock Holmes Ranked from Most to Least Likely to Set a Building on Fire in a Fit of Rage
Ranking All the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Specials
So, I’m in the process of finishing the script for a review of all the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer specials. However, I don’t know if I will realistically be able to complete my video before Christmas, so here is my ranking of every Rudolph special, from best to worst.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964): Despite all the memes (“Deviation from the norm will be punished unless it is exploitable!”), the original Rankin/Bass Rudolph special holds up much better than most of the internet gives it credit for. It has memorable characters and songs, it is well-paced and does not try to cram too many subplots into its runtime, its stop-motion animation was quite good for the time (and has a unique charm nowadays), and it actually fixes most of the issues with the original song and story. It’s a classic. 9.5/10
Rudolph’s Shiny New Year (1976): The follow-up to the Rankin/Bass special is not as good as the first one, and the lesson of “If people laugh at you, it’s because you bring them joy and that’s a good thing!” is kind of reprehensible, but it’s still pretty alright. It certainly has some nice songs and creative ideas, and Red Skelton is charming as Father Time, although I can see why it didn’t become a holiday staple like the first one. For one thing, it’s less well-paced, and doubling it as a New Year’s special and as a celebration of America’s Bicentennial felt stranger. Still pretty good. 7/10
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1948): This Max Fleischer short aired a year before the song’s release and thus is more closely based on the original Rudolph story. The animation is kind of janky (as a lot of Max Fleischer’s shorts are in hindsight, even though he was an animation pioneer) and the story is a bit standard, but it’s still a decent short film and a noble enough screen debut for the character. 6/10
Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July (1979): Rankin/Bass pulled out all of the stops for this big epic crossover film between Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, and Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, their own Avengers: Endgame that also doubled as a sendoff for Rudolph and Frosty, who would never star in a Rankin/Bass project after this. However, despite some creative ideas, the plot felt all over the place, with far too many subplots and too much lore to keep track of, plus we did not need a explanation for Rudolph’s nose powers. We could have accepted it as simply being “magic,” and making him a chosen one poses more questions than it answers. Still, at least it was imaginative, which is more than I can say for the post-Rankin/Bass specials. 5.5/10
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Movie (1998): GoodTimes Entertainment’s attempt at rebooting the franchise has diminishing returns, and reeks of the usual GoodTimes stench. The plot beats and characters felt very derivative of the original Rankin/Bass special, as a lot of GoodTimes movies feel derivative of other films, but this one felt even more obvious since even the songs themselves felt derivative of songs from the first Rankin/Bass one. And the $10 million budget clearly didn’t go to the writing or animation, so I have to wonder where it went. Presumably to the voice cast, and while it does bring in some well-known voice actors (including John Goodman, Whoopi Goldberg, Debbie Reynolds, and Monty Python’s Eric Idle), they cannot save this special from mediocrity. 4/10
Rudolph’s Lessons for Life (1996): There’s a reason this special has been forgotten and isn’t even mentioned on Wikipedia. I only found out about it thanks to TV Tropes. Rudolph’s Lessons for Life feels like a remake of Max Fleischer’s Rudolph short, but a lot worse. At least the Fleischer short was good for the time. This special’s framerate feels like a PowerPoint presentation at points. The only copies that exist of this special are 240p VHS rips, so don’t bother watching unless you are a serious Rudolph completionist. 2/10
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys (2001): GoodTimes Entertainment’s second attempt at a Rudolph movie, this one continues from the original Rankin/Bass special and ignores the two sequels. This movie easily has the worst animation of all of them, summoning memories of Foodfight! to mind, and even if you look past the animation, it’s seriously uninspired. The plot lifts beats from the original Rankin/Bass special, and the villain is ripped from Toy Story 2. Perhaps the only decent plot element is a subplot about an island where toys can get plastic surgery? But even then, it’s wasted because they do nothing with it. And the celebrity voice cast--including Richard Dreyfuss, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Rick Moranis--do nothing to help. This is bad. Awful. Burn it. Purge it with fire. 1/10
And that’s my ranking! What do you guys think? Leave your own rankings in the comments below, feel free to discuss if you have any questions, and look out for my review sometime next month!

Ranking the Top-Rated Hazbin Hotel Ships Part 1 (Gay)
RadioStatic. This is the best one. I prefer it one-sided, but it's fine when reciprocated as well. It's the best of everything - it allows for angst, for fluff, for a murder duo, and of course it's very hot.
StaticMoth. This ship is amazing. It allows for evil hijinks galore, fluff, smut, and even angst if you take into account the old Voxtagram posts. Bonus points when poly with Velvette.
Huskerdust. This is just an incredibly sweet and wholesome ship. It allows for so much fluff as well as hurt/comfort or just plain angst. It's one of those ships where it's them vs the world. Beautiful.
RadioApple. This one is hot, but I really don't see much chemistry there. But the wholesome content is funny and sweet, and the *ahem* less wholesome stuff can be extremely hot. Win-win.
Valastor. This one only gets this high on the list because, again, it's hot. This would not work in any way, shape or form - Alastor and Val are completely incompatible. But, they're both attractive.
PentNiss. This one is rather odd, because Arackniss hasn't been in the show yet. However, he seems to be a rather grumpy sort, so this dynamic could be funny.
AdamsApple. I'm neutral on this one, I genuinely have no opinion on it - it's not good, but not bad. It's completely fine with me, however. Go forth and ship.
RadioHusk. It's not bad, but I'm not a huge fan. I don't really see any way for it to be healthy or sweet, and I'm not a fan of those two having sexual tension. But no animosity to its fans.
RadioDust. It rubs me the wrong way for some reason, but the fans of that ship are really good at what they do, so I'm fine with it. I'd never seek it out, but I respect its fans.
ValAngel. Awful. For obvious reasons.
Ranking the Top-Rated Hazbin Hotel Ships Part 2 (Lesbian)
Chaggie. It's the classic one, how could I not like it? It's perfect for fluffy stuff, and hurt/comfort from when they first met, as well as any number of other things. It's very versatile and very cute.
BloomingGun. This one is just adorable, and it spans so many ship tropes. It's perfect for comedy, fluff, a battle duo, and of course, it's also kinda hot. Let these women get married.
MollyBomb. This one is really cute, I find - a party girl and a presumably sweet, well-behaved girl. Cherri can protect Molly and Molly can rein Cherri in. It's perfect.
Velmilla. I don't actually like this one because I ship it, or because I'm attracted to them. I like it because of the sheer chaos these shippers cause. It's fucking hilarious.
RoyalHalo. This one is just really cute and wholesome. I envy both of them so much, they're both so nice and that just seems like it'd be a really healthy, good relationship.
Misie. I never would've thought of this, honestly, but it does seems cute. I can't see them getting married or being together for more than a year or so, but they'd have a fun time together, I think.
FallenWings. I don't actually like this ship, but it's familiar to me because I watching SATPOP as a little one. No hate to shippers, I'm just not partial to it myself.
Emilute. This one is odd. It could go many ways. I can see it being angsty and sad, with Em watching Lute go down the rabbithole, but she could also be the light that heals Lute. There's potential.
CherriMoth. I can't really see this ever working. Vaggie doesn't like trouble, and Cherri is trouble personified. Funny as a crackship, not so much as an actual relationship.
Vagette. Maybe I'm biased by my unbridled hatred for both characters, but I don't like this one. It just seems to contradict itself on so many levels. But I have nothing against its fans.
While I'm writing requests, I started to make a ranking of how dangerous each yandere Smiling Critters are! Because? Because I fucking felt like it(I hesitate to count this as a hcs because I'm just doing a little ranking with an explanation of why)
1. Catnap
Do I have to explain it? Bro's got the fucking red gas that he can do whatever shit he wants with and he literally killed all the Smiling Critters by himself, this cat can and will kill for you
2.Bubba
I don't think he's strong like Catnap but he's the smartest of them all and he could easily manipulate you or I don't know, I just think that
3. Craftycorn
Did you hear their dialogues? Well thinking about it, I feel like she could maybe kill people and do some shit so they end up like paint (and this is a silly little scenario) But imagine that she crushes people (I don't even want to know how) to turn them into paintings and with that paint she finishes some drawing she made of you
4. Pickypiggy
Look first she's a pig, second she loves food, three she's a yandere, I easily imagine her eating people or even cooking her so that you eat along with her (obviously she wouldn't tell you that it was a person/toy)
5. Hoppy Hopscotch
I suck at writing for Hoppy but maybe she could lock people up and wait for them to die.
6. Bobby Bearhug
She refuses to kill people (she kill people whether on purpose or unintentionally, probably just hugs them too tight until they die)
7. Kickinchiken
Another one that is difficult for me to write umm...Maybe he just threatens them, although I doubt he kills them.
8. Dogday
I honestly see him incapable of killing or harming someone for you, he loves you and all that but he doesn't plan to harm someone or even want to steal something from you, he's too good😞 not really, he's a yandere for a reason duh but you get my point, right?
I honestly suck at rankings
Attempting to Rank the Songs in Project Diva X
WARNING: LONG POST
I downloaded Project Diva X a couple weeks ago, and I absolutely love it. It has its flaws and quirks, but it's fun. But most importantly...
The song list is phenomenal. It's short and very Miku-biased, even by Project Diva standards, but what we have here is ~quality.~ We have a large variety of musical genres and styles. We have both Vocaloid community staples and new experiments. We have MARETU. You sadly won't find these songs anywhere else in the series (minus Mega Mix+ mods, but I mean in an official capacity), but at least they're here. And do you know what I like to do with my favorite things?
I like to rank them. I don't know why. Weird brain stuff, I guess. But if you want to read the ramblings of a sleep-deprived weirdo, you're in the right place.
Keep in mind, all of these songs are at least decent (around B-tier at minimum) to me. Someone has to be last, but I enjoy listening to all of them and playing through the ones I have.
There are stats at the end for each Cloud/Aura's overall score, too. Now, let's go!
32.) Sharing the World
Miku V3 English is...a bit rough-sounding here. Not nails on a chalkboard, but not the most pleasant thing ever. The concept behind the song is cute, though. Miku is everywhere now, and people are using her (and other vocal synths) to share their feelings with others across the world. That is truly beautiful.
31.) The First Sound
Very simple, and Miku sounds a bit shrill on the highest notes. However, the lyrics are heartfelt and sweet. Also, the Triple Threat version of this song's Extreme chart was my first (and is still my only) Extreme Perfect. I don't know how I got it before the normal one, but I'll take it.
30.) Babylon
I feel like Miku's voice gets a bit lost in the instrumental. I also don't get why there are teeth everywhere. That being said, the shifts in tempo and time signature give this song a truly unique vibe.
29.) Even a Kunoichi Needs Love
Again, Miku and Rin feel a bit drowned out by the instrumental at times, but the fast pace and catchy rhythm elevate this song's standing a bit. And the existence of a Naruto and Sasuke cover in one of Minnemi's cursed UTAU concerts.
28.) LOL - lots of laugh -
Slow and repetitive, but the imagery in the lyrics is creative and vivid. You also definitely get a "whimsical carnival" feeling from the instrumental.
27.) Hand in Hand
Kind of generic as far as Miku songs go, but still catchy and pleasant.
26.) Slow Motion
The premise of the song--contemplating life while sick with a cold--is simply delightful. I'm just not the biggest fan of how Pinocchio-P tunes Miku in certain songs, Slow Motion included. Common World Domination is more to my taste.
25.) Ending Medley - Ultimate Exquisite Rampage
Ow, my wrists. This is a fun, nostalgic tribute to Project Diva entries past, and the choice to begin with Disappearance and end with Intense Voice makes for a touching narrative. The Ura-Omote Lovers remix is pretty cool, too, since it starts off slower than normal and speeds up over time. But again, ow, my wrists.
24.) Name of the Sin
You can't really go wrong with a musical fairytale...unless you cut out a good chunk of the song and scramble the story, but I still like the simple, timeless feel nonetheless. The shades of purple used for Miku's Cantatrice module are gorgeous as well.
23.) Streaming Heart
This isn't my favorite of DECO*27's works, but the instrumental break is awesome--heavy and gritty. The charting during said break's Technical Zone, especially on Extreme, amplifies the intensity and makes it feel extra satisfying.
22.) Love Trial
Simple but (fittingly) cute. The piano and trumpet combine well in the instrumental. Miku's tuning isn't the most dynamic here, but it's not a big issue when the rhythms are getting stuck in my head anyway. The lyrics are also quite fun with their courtroom metaphors. Ace Attorney fandom, I want to see your take on this song.
21.) Elegant Medley ~ Glossy Mixture ~
The strange shifts in tempo make certain parts torture to learn (TECHNICAL ZONES), but man, the Nebula part is pretty. And who doesn't love Sweet Devil? The ending is a bit abrupt, but I also don't know what else could have been done there.
20.) Beginning Medley - Primary Colors
I adore OSTER Project, and the group performance of Miracle Paint at the end is spectacular. Easily the best version of Miracle Paint out there. This medley's low placement on the list is simply a testament to how amazing Project Diva X's song list is.
19.) Lost One's Weeping
Rin feels a bit drowned out during the verses, but as someone with horrible test anxiety, I feel the lyrics. You could even say that the drowned-out vocals fit the theme of overwhelming academic pressure. The heavy electric guitar is perfect for the Cool Cloud, too.
18.) Quirky Medley - Giga Remix
Giga-P makes some good stuff. The choices for Rin and Len's solos were a bit weird, though. I mean, Gigantic OTN is a classic, but the sexual theme for that and "Pincostique" Love just doesn't fit the Quirky vibe in my opinion. However, Childish War is peak.
17.) Raspberry*Monster
The stage is a bit "neon barf sensory overload," but it fits the song's chaotic vibes. The chorus is also memorable thanks to the unique melody and expressive shouts.
16.) Satisfaction
EDM isn't my favorite musical genre, but it really works here. I think it's the combination of the awesome instrumental and kz(livetune)'s tuning really leaning into Miku's nature as an electronic instrument.
15.) Cute Medley - Idol Sounds
A collection of Mitchie M classics in all their peppy, expressive glory is a win in my book. Each song, from Freely Tomorrow to Blooming the Idol, perfectly suits the "J-pop idol" theme of the medley. KAITO should have been there, though. He wanted to learn how to be cute, so he should get to be cute. >:T
14.) Patchwork Staccato
A surprise bit of melancholy for the Cute Cloud, but the change of pace is welcome. Miku's falsetto pushes the limits of her upper range without sounding shrill, which I imagine takes immense patience to get right. Her singing throughout is refreshing, too, somehow coming across as sweet yet cold. And we can't ignore the immersive, quilt-like scenery of the stage. However, the Freddy Fazbear cover is still the best version (thank you again, Minnemi).
13.) Love Song
My mom's favorite simply for the "u-papa" parts (although the way she sings it sounds more like PoPiPo ^^"). And hey, I can't blame her. It's bouncy and sweet. It puts you in a good mood.
12.) Strangers
The way the rhythm changes throughout the song keeps things fresh, and the instrumental is surprisingly captivating. I love the stage, too. The Playstation symbol lights are enticing, but not distracting or intrusive.
11.) Holy Lance Explosion Boy
Why are the dirtiest songs always some of the catchiest? And why is Len used for so many of them? It's still a bop, though. A lot of songs by rerulili are. The Extreme chart is pain, but it's not unfair. It's just very, very crowded and technical. It's satisfying to improve my score here, at any rate.
10.) Solitary Envy
Surprisingly gentle and subdued for the Cool Cloud, but that makes it unique. I also love when Miku is given a lower and softer voice, whether it's her Dark Append or a unique tuning style. The syncopation during the chorus gives it a bit of a playful edge, too.
9.) A Single Red Leaf
A classic, gentle love ballad with a traditional Japanese flair. It may not be the flashiest or feature the most realistic tuning of Luka, but it's simply perfect for the Elegant Cloud. Also, despite being on the slower side, it's not painfully slow like certain other songs in the series (Sakura Rain--).
8.) Humorous Dream of Mrs. Pumpkin
Halloween vibes are always good vibes, and we stan Hachi in this household. I wish the song wasn't so obviously cut off at the end, but I am glad that it's here at all. Also, Halloween Miku supremacy.
7.) Cool Medley - Cyber Rock Jam
The transition from Don't My List Me! to Tengaku is so smooth. Absolutely beautiful. Unhappy Refrain is always a jam, Palette was a splendid surprise (with Luka V4x, too!), and This Messed-Up Wonderful World Exists For Me is an incredible finale. Cyber Rock Jam is easily the best medley in the game.
6.) Calc.
The intense guitar solos interspersed throughout the song really complement the smooth, relaxed melody. They're fundamentally different, yet their differences blend into a beautiful product instead of clashing.
5.) Tale of the Deep-Sea Lily
Again, I enjoy songs with a softer, lower-pitched Miku. This one is bouncy yet gentle, and I'm a total sucker for the nautical theme. Plus, the Sea Lily module makes Miku look a little like GUMI (my absolute favorite Vocaloid).
4.) Urotander, Underhanded Rangers
Hilarious in every single way, from the PV to the Extreme chart. The Chance Time star zooming across the screen sends me every time. KAITO, MEIKO, and Miku make for a nice trio, too. I wish they were used together more often.
3.) Ai Dee
It's a Mitchie M song that features Luka rapping in English, as well as bits in French and Spanish. It has to be in the top 3. The Electronica Anode (Miku) and Electronica Cathode (Luka) modules are some of my favorites in the game, too. What can I say? I'm weak to glowy stuff.
2.) Brain Revolution Girl
MARETU's instrumentals tend to be awesome, and it's no different here. The synth is decidedly electronic in tone, yet dramatic in its note progression. The guitar bit in the middle and the quiet segment immediately after add to the drama by bringing variety. Also, C minor is my favorite key, and C# minor isn't too far behind. I just feel so evil and powerful when I listen to this song. I love it.
1.) Amazing Dolce
It's MEIKO and the Kagamines. It's Hitoshizuku × Yama. It's energetic and jazzy. It even has a huge, dramatic, big band-style brass break in the middle. Need I say more? Actually, yes. The modules. They're super creative and adorable with their food themes. Strawberry Witch (MEIKO) and Pâtissier Gretel (Rin) are simply stunning. Len's Pâtissier Hansel module confused me for a while, but then it clicked when I realized that his motif isn't anything banana-related--it's apple pie. So he's also up there, and all of these ingredients combine to give us the best song in the game.
Now for the Cloud rankings. These are simple averages/means:
1.) Elegant - average of 7.83/32
2.) Cool - average of 11.83/32
3.) Quirky - average of 18.17/32
4.) Cute - average of 18.83/32
5.) Classic - average of 21.5/32
6.) Extra - average of 29.5/32
And here are (hopefully correct) weighted averages to compensate for the outliers in each set:
1.) Elegant - wav of 7.83/32 (Huh. Neat.)
2.) Cool - wav of 13.47/32
3.) Cute - wav of 15.62/32 (What an upset!)
4.) Quirky - wav of 17.56/32
5.) Classic - wav of 22.98/32
6.) Extra - wav of 29.5/32 (Two equidistant data points will do that. :p)
With all that said and done, what do you think? What are your favorite songs not just in X, but in the entire Project Diva series (Mirai counts, too)?
Top Posts of 2016
So the new year has started and so I decided to tell you, which stories in 2016 you liked the most (based on the number of notifications). So here are the 5 most popular stories to be posted last year:
#5 The Amulets of Manliness - Peter
#4 Chronivac: Desire Version
#3 Asian Sized
#2 Big Man on Campus
And the most popular post in 2016 was ... *drum-roll*
#1 Behind Closed Doors
Hi man, in between the transformation asks, I have a more personal question: Which of the asks, stories and RPs you have done are your favorites?
Since it’s incredibly hard to pinpoint a particular favorite I’ll give three. Even that’s hard though, since I generally enjoy every story, request and RP I write. Also I think it’s hard to rank your own work. I guess the picture you find makes up a lot of the hotness too.
Let’s start with asks: Last year I did the TF Touristics series, as some of you might know and had the pleasure to produce some transformations I really liked. But probably my favorite ones were the Scandinavia and Greece ones. Also I really liked the birthday ask I answered some days ago, since I had the opportunity to explore something new.
Next up my own stories: I’ll have to stick with reality changes there (because there are so few on my blog *cough**cough*). My favorites would be Chess Team Captain (simply because of the pic), Chronivac - The Game (I liked how the Chronivac usage turned out) and Asian Sized (I just love myself a good stereotype reversal).
Last but not least are RPs. Those are a bit more complicated, since it all depends on the mood the both writers are in and well the synergy works that day. It actually took me a bit longer to narrow it down to three. The Wishing Orb, between me and @absqrst had a nice flow and we managed to work well with the pic. Getting in Shape, between me and @amalianetwork, was also fun, not to forget that nice bounce. Plus it turned out a little different from how I expected. For the last one I’ll have to cheat a bit, since it actually includes a couple of RPs. But it would not be fair to choose one of those amazing products. I’m talking about the Gypsy’s Curse stories (applause to @amalianetwork for that amazing idea)
Of course that doesn’t mean I didn’t like the other ones. Actually I liked them a lot. If you have other opinions, feel free to tell me what you liked best. Just write below this post, I appreciate whatever you write :)
Bonus poll: Do you prefer to answer this blog's polls that let you choose one of the 7 members?
LAST CALL: If they had to do everything alone, which member would be most successful throwing a surprise party?
LAST CALL: Will Hobi host an event like did Jin after his release from military service?
I saw somebody else do it so now I want to!
