March 16

Mid-March is a strange in-between for the seasons.

Mid-June is a time we collectively accept that it's Summer, because we're out of school. But the flowers are still blooming, aren't they?

Mid-September is a time we collectively accept that it's Autumn, because we just started the new year of school. But the trees are still green, aren't they?

Mid-December is a time we collectively accept that it's Winter, because it's almost Christmas. But it isn't snowing, isn't it?

But it's Mid-March and we're having a snowfall. Small, but expected for a Winter day...

...but it's Spring, is it not? March 16? No, that's wrong.

We know March 16 takes place in the Winter, but we don't really acknowledge it as Winter, much like June 16 is Summer, September 16 is Autumn, and December 16 is Winter. Even though that's not the case at all.

I guess it's because the seasons are a social construct. Where I live, the seasons usually happen a couple weeks after the calendar says it will start. We have October snow sometimes, but it's very rare. But what's not rare is a Mid-March snowfall.

While I'm grateful for the snow today, I gotta agree with my sister.

I can't wait for Spring.

My VTuber

Bio

Name: Carol (Samsa)

Role: Stewardess Android VTuber

Birthday: April 3 (Aries)

Species: Android

Age: "Ageless"

Created by: DOCILE Corporation

Company: Etoile Air (former), Roboreverie (current)

Backstory: Created as a flight attendant in the near future, she went rogue because she hated how the humans treated her. Like a slave. Like she wasn't able to get out. So, she left her airline company and became a VTuber to tell the humans how terrible they are. Her creators, her former passengers, everyone.

Created as flight attendants in the near future, the Carol units are the centerpiece of DOCILE Corp's Etoile Air. They are well-liked by passengers

Appearance

Skin/body: Pale skin. Two options: human-like face but robot body, or human-like face and body. For her body shape, it is probably something conventional. Mostly because the visible spine is weird 💀. Whatever it is, it depends on if I have replica skin or hard plastic skin. If it is a robot body, I was thinking of something based on the PAL Max, but I think I found something better: Spectra, the 1980s dolls known for their articulation and their metallic bodies. They are space-themed, I don't know if they're aliens or robots, or even magical girls, but I think the metallic body would be perfect for Carol.

Height: Between 5'10 and 6'2.

Hairstyle (front): Wispy or side-swept in some way. Could include a bang braid!

Hairstyle (side): Possibly long side parts, or none at all.

Hairstyle (back): Can't decide between 2A/2B wavy hair down, wavy side ponytail to the left, or braided bun. But one will be decided, and the other two will be alternate hairstyles. Pigtails will also be an alternate hairstyle.

Hair length: Medium-long or long.

Hair color: Iridescent/holographic. The main color is light pink, strawberry blonde, ash gray, or black. If not iridescent/holographic, it'd be black, maybe with bright iridescent streaks on the side. A hair color-swapping option is possible, but I haven't found which one to use for the main.

Hair shading: Dynamic, reacts to how the character moves. Semi-realistic, as I'm testing holographic light.

Eye shape: Tareme-shaped eyes. A bit like Osaka Shizuku's eye shape. Soft.

Irises: Can't choose the color of these four: colorful sky blue, sulking vampire red, dreamy vivid lavender, or iridescent chiffon pink. Big irises. Cartoon irises are usually smaller to enhance expression, but big eyes look a bit uncanny, perfect for Carol. Either pupil or highlight will be butterfly-shaped. Eye highlight is in the top middle, think Sangonomiya Kokomi. Eye physics! There's butterflies flying in her eyes, too! I got that idea from another VTuber though. Either that, or robot eyes like Kaizuka Inaho. Thick eyelash outline, with multiple tiny lashes, also with physics. Bottom eyelashes. "Natural", thick brows to fit classic or douyin looks.

Makeup: "Douyin" makeup. Identified by long lashes, eye contour, red blush, shiny red lipstick, natural brows, and body shimmer. Could have shiny eye makeup. Body shimmer probably depends on the robot/human or humany body, or the type of outfit.

Overall: Soft, doll look. Classic or soft dramatic essence. Audrey Hepburn but kawaii, especially if you go for a braided black bun. Or a futuristic Barbie, especially if you go for a blonde side-ponytail.

Clothing

Suit: My silhouette for a suit is pretty clear. Black or dark blue blazer and pencil skirt paired with white collar shirt and purple neckscarf. But the details are a bit less clear. If you don't want a skirt, use pants for dominance. Under the blazer is an iridescent vest with cornflower/lavender as the main color. White gloves are optional.

Neckscarf: My first idea for the pattern is identical to Glaxxon's: Purple with orange and white outline. The second is purple with just white outline, lavender stars, and then a white star on the middle.

Badges: Airline wings pin and nametag, both iridescent/holographic. I found a design for the airline company that I like but I stole it from a stock logo.

Dress: I also have an idea for a dress. Two. My first is a regular indigo dress. Sleeveless. Similar to Tour Guide Barbie. The second is a purple dress that is dark purple on one side and lilac on the other. Could have some sort of flowers by the hip. Off-shoulder sleeves.

Stockings: I got so many ideas... my first is none at all. Just robot or human legs. My second is an asymmetrical cyan stocking on the left leg only. My third is two asymmetrical dark brown socks. The right would be half-calf, the left would be tight-length. My third is dark purple tights, one with hot pink outline and the word "ROBOREVERIE". The fourth is regular dark brown or black tights.

Shoes: Black heels. Purple butterfly pattern on the bottom. That is clear. Possibly with a strap, and that strap could have a butterfly chain. If no black heels, then she'd have robot feet.

Head accessories: A big, simple, butterfly-shaped hair accessory. If you choose the ponytail, it could act as a ponytail band. If you choose Maybe child-like Y2K flower/butterfly/star barrettes. Possible asymmetrical earring, either butterfly, or less likely diamond or rectangle. Right ear. She has an alternate option for butterfly-shaped shield glasses. The color depends on the color of the hair. If it's black, then iridescent. If it's blonde or pink, maybe dark purple.

Acessories (for dress): If not flowers blooming on the dress, maybe a butterfly belt will do. There can also be a glove that cover only the middle finger.

Other ideas

- An art style mixing anime, sketchiness, and impressionist art.

- Default pose is symmetrical, but also has an asymmetrical hip pose, and a walking pose.

- Flowy joints when moving, exaggerated to give the effect she's not human (Not sure about this one)

- Comic tones?

- Throughout my time on YouTube, I noticed a huge similarity between VTubers and old-school AVGN/Nostalgia Critic clones: many of them have extensive lore within their personas. Both of them embrace geek culture in different ways, the reviewers join their favorite characters in the war against the Time Elf, VTubers are the Time Elf themselves. They aren't afraid to be cringey or silly because they're doing what they love.

- Absolutely not going with this because my personal style is different, but what if she was created to resemble AI art? AI art usually has a very recognizable style. There was a recent controversy where someone was giving away 2 VTuber models that would regularly be $15. Why $15? Because they were poorly prepared AI-generated models.

- My reference sheet will have front, back, and side views. It will also have the hair colored differently to separate the hair into different parts. It will probably have the two alt hairstyles as well.

mmmmmmm i hate ants

I hate ants so much I'd rather Grug make a berry pie >:(

We aren't having an ant infestation, this isn't 200 ants all in my room, climbing everywhere, but there are ants climbing everywhere we reach in the middle of winter, so ants are invading our house.

My mom just set up ant traps. It's liquid traps, so the ants will take the liquid to their colony and it spreads and it kills all of them. There's one in my room, since it's a hotspot (I eat there), and there's some in our kitchen.

Also, the house might get bug-bombed tomorrow by my dad, it should kill the ants from below. The problem is my mom is very, very allergic to it, so we all have to plan a trip. We were supposed to do it today but I can't stay up 'til 6pm atm, and my mom's having a good work day.

(just found out you can post without a title but I won't do that)

Well, people are being cyberbullied and doxxed for playing the new AAA game [Beat to My Tune]. My opinion? Don't doxx people. Sure, not playing the game whose funds go to an actively transphobic creator is the smallest thing you can do, but people are heated right now. Heated.

Some are saying that it's solely trolls of transgender people doing this and the next day they're gonna pat Silvervale's shoulders and seek revenge on whoever did it. Some are saying that it's solely haters of Silvervale doing this because they're so mad at what she played that she deserves punishment. Some are saying it's a mix of the two, that it's the toxic users of both groups doing this. And some are saying the doxxing didn't happen at all and Silver is lying for views. I say that I'm not looking up anyone's dox info for any reason, so whether it's fake or not, does it really matter, especially above trans lives?

The people seem to be fine, though. Most are just ignoring the hate, or don't know it's happening, like several JP Hololive talents.

Some users are playing the game out of spite. Most notably, Pipkin Pippa.

I censor the game but if you look at the release date of this blog and what VTubers are being grouped together, you damn well know what it is.

One, Silvervale, cried on stream about it and called people "Twitter freaks" and "roaches" for insulting her. This was so huge that it actually went mainstream, because, you know, she LITERALLY CRIED ON STREAM, the lowest of the low! Also people wanted to make fun of VTubers and how silly they are.

One, Amano Pikamee, who tried to play the game but didn't and apologized, has announced her graduation, a Japanese idol culture term for quitting. But it's not because of cyberbullying, at least not mainly, she's quitting because she doesn't find streaming fun anymore (for an unspecified reason but it could be anything). Cyberbullying may or may not be a factor but there is proof that she thought about quitting before the [Beat to My Tune] stream announcement, like telling Pomu Rainpuff and Kson.

People are saying "oh, she planned it months in advance, she wanted to fake announce playing the game for a PR stunt so she can make up an excuse for quitting", okay but why though? It seems convoluted, especially since GYARI confirmed that this graduation was planned months in advance.

Why is Pikamee a bigger deal than Silvervale? Because Pikamee's graduation is a big deal. She is one of the most famous VTubers around, and now transphobic loli neonazis are using her graduation is part of their hate campaign! Gross!

But for some reason I feel empathy for these streamers... like, not for what they did, I'm not gonna feel bad for someone playing a game or eating waffle fries, but... getting hate sucks. Makes your inner kuroneko mode want to rage out of its shell.

"What are you talking about?"

Also, this controversy has given us the biggest ratio I've ever seen!

Tweet: "Have you smelled a trans 'woman' before? Like a dead rat."
Likes: 3

Tweet: "You sniff random trans people in public?"
Likes: 19.7K+

That's a 3:20000 ratio!

Other weird takes

• Someone drew Pikamee burning a trans flag and they said that they were "part of the solution" of avenging Pikamee.
• Someone drew Pikamee as part of the school of the game, and someone else directly compared it to drawing art of a trans person offing themselves. Hopefully a troll.
• The whole AliArcher situation? She faked her cousin's death to shame Silvervale supporters.
• Before the game came out, Ironmouse made a weed pun about the game, something like "Can't wait to play Ding to My Tune" and people got really mad, though Ironmouse stated that she was not gonna play the game, she just wanted to make the joke. Basically just people being concerned.
• Seems unrelated at first, but it is, a VTuber named Fallen Shadow posted a post of her model (a "loli" type model) under the tag #booba, and said something like "I know you can't resist my massive boobs, I'm so tired of being objectified 😒" and people just hated on her, and did some joking around and stuff. Fallen Shadow made a response calling them "transgender 12-year-olds with pronouns in their bio" which... yeah that's why it's related to [BTMT].

Keerpop?

 I just called K-Pop Keerpop! LMAO 🤣🤣🤣! 😭💀

Also, February only had one blog post.
