Sad news

 We put down our dog today. His name was Smokey, he was an 11-year-old pitbull. He lived really long but his legs were hurt really bad and he was very sick, so today, we put him down. I feel really sad for him since I couldn't get to know him that much. I remember we used to have a kiddy pool that Smokey would jump into while my siblings and I were in it, and it was so funny! But other than that... the only thing I remember is that my cat would run around upstairs to make him cry, and I'm not sure if it's the best memory to have about a childhood dog.

Nonetheless, making new memories with you, Smokey, is over now. Rest in peace, and we'll meet again!

Keep on swimmin'!

When idol game cards go beyond your expectations

 

This is (at least presumably) the cropping of the new KiraFes Yukina card, just most of Yukina's hair and a 😶 face

This is what the new permanent Ena card looks like uncropped (I couldn't find an HD image of it cropped) and it's literally Ena as a painting

Also I found out what deep-fried Oreos are

When you

When you lose all your files on your iPad because you were knowingly impatient for the iOS 15.4 update so now you lost your Bandori account with Zombieland Saga Aya, a whole lot of videos, and all your Procreate files

And if you asked if I could back it up or not, no, and it was kinda impossible anyway because:

1. Making backups aren't as prioritized as I thought they were.
2. I had 5 GB of iCloud storage, and my account was almost completely out of storage before the update (I have a 256 GB iPad) so it would be impossible to back it up through iCloud unless I paid for it (I pay for 200 GB of storage a month now Apple don't kill me)
3. I believe iTunes automatically backs up your files, but I don't think it would work because my iPad was most likely set to the "backup on iCloud" option, not the "backup on iTunes" option. and I don't believe iTunes could just make a PC backup without my permission, based on when it's set to iCloud backup because... idk ethics?
4. Backups might not work if the iPad is on recovery mode. Not to mention that I forgot how to exit recovery mode at the time so I was just stuck there. If I did exit recovery mode, would the update even work?
5. My files were deleted without my permission or knowledge (which they did warn me about but I don't think they gave me a backup option despite that). They gave me an error on why it didn't work, but I couldn't read it in time before it said "welcome to your new iPad"
6. Again, I might've run out of storage for the update and since it couldn't be canceled, the whole thing had to be wiped. Are you joking with me?
7. And the most devastating reason in my opinion: I might've accidentally moved the charger centimeters away from where it was supposed to be, causing the connection to be interrupted, which would put the blame completely on me.

That thing was a lost cause.

My mom's car got hit, my dad's car broke down, my dog got sick (he's getting better though), my iPad got erased, my grades have a chance of hitting the drain, damn, I guess March really does come in like a lion.

Also, my Twitter got hacked by a giveaway hacker while I was sleeping but they didn't change the email so that's good :)

possible realization

 Maybe the reason why I'm bad at socializing but not at writing is because in writing everything turns my way.

Ideas for some series

Magic Hour Pretty Cure!

I had an idea called Magic Hour Pretty Cure!. I thought it was gonna be a duo with Cure Dusk and Cure Dawn but those names are taken, but I had a dream saying I should name my lead for the series Akinari Peo. I think I'll take the first name and make Magic Hour a sextet instead of a duo. No sixth ranger.

Also, I might make two more series: A sweets-themed series and a nurse-themed series. I found some pins that would work well with those.

• Lead Cure's full name is Peo Yaezakura.
• Red/orange Cure's full name is Hanabi Akebono.
• Yellow Cure's first name is Saaya.
• Green Cure's last name is Matsubara(?).
• Blue Cure's full name is Yua Tsukimiyama.
• Purple Cure's full name is Ei Otonashi.

oop le pastiche is making a series called magic hour pretty cure

But that's okay because I just adopted a series called Reverie Rainbow! I can make it that series.

Sweets-themed series

• Lead Cure is Blasian (half black, half Japanese).
• Lead Cure is based on ice cream.
• Lead Cure's surname is Ninagawa.
• The second Cure is Black and she is orange popsicle-themed.
• The third Cure is Asian (Japanese) based on mint chocolate.
• The fourth Cure... or Cures? is two twins using the same Cure form based on strawberries.
• There will possibly be five Cures.
• One sixth ranger. The theme color is unknown.

Nurse-themed series

• There will possibly be four Cures.
• The title might have to do with one of these words: Remedy, Emergency
• A Cure might straight-up be named Chiyu.
• The initial team might be pink, green, blue, and purple.
• Choosing whether this team will have a sixth ranger or not is a balancing act. If it does, Chiyu will be that ranger.
• The name of the series is "Tender Pretty Cure+"

Speakonia

Look, I know that Speakonia was made in the early 90s by Americans with an outdated pronunciation system, but I'm somehow mad that it pronounces words like Inuit and demigirl wrong. Demigirl wasn't even a word until last decade!

Also some of the voices out every word in all caps even when it's not necessary but I'm pretty sure there's many TTS programs with the same problem.
