How it feels to be a Dandadan fan and a social media lurker 😔

AyoTaledo made a post saying "Sorry Dandadan fans that your fandom is being called Klanklaklan" that's how bad it is because, I think you can guess already, the controversy is about a race change edit of Momo and Okarun where they're Black.

I don't know the deeper details because I don't want to see all the racism but I do know the editor, a minor, at minimum privated their account (it's back now as of this afternoon), and that Okarun's English VA, AJ Beckles, who is Black, supported the edit, made it his profile picture, but got harassed so much his X account was deleted.

This is like week-old news, however, this was the day I found out that a VTuber agency tried to hire A NINE YEAR OLD to their company. Disgusting.

More news because December is the month of news I guess

• The Wild Robot has gotten 4 Golden Globe nominations - best original score, best original song, best animated picture, and cinematic box office achievement. The only animated movies to get that much nominations there are Beauty and the Beast (also with four) and Aladdin (with six).
• Hailey Welch introduced a memecoin called HAWK which is accused of being a rug pull scam and she will have to "talk tuah" lawyer about that.
• It's been 373 days since "Plagarism and You(Tube)" by hbomberguy has come out.
• Spotify Wrapped released on December 4th to negative results. People have said it's the worst Wrapped yet. It includes spinning gradient rectangles as its main graphic, vague, non-music genre meshes (for some reason mine are normal, January was "weirdcore romantic jazz elevator music"), and a collaboration with Google's note-taking and podcast-style summary AI, NotebookLM, which says amazing things such as "can't forget September 11th" and "Panic at the Dick"
  
• It's prediction month. Colors of the year, trend predictions, and BENOFTHEWEEK's news predictions have come out.
• Pinterests Predicts 2025: Cherry red color, aura-inspired new wave makeup, siren makeup, rococo, chainmail accessories, cream soda (which Pinterest takes as a 1950s rebel aesthetic but it's totally not that lol), solarpunk 🫢, moto boots, and interestingly, game avatar codes.
• Pantone Color of the Year 2025: Mocha mousse, a soft, medium-value brown. Other color companies' colors of the year are similar browns, dark reds, and dark purples. This is probably the year of that one design prediction I made for the purple Kimi to Idol Cure.
• BENOFTHEWEEK: A right wing influencer will gain a position in the whitehouse, Kim Jong Un will visit America, Harvey Weinstein will die, WorldofTShirts will get better, and Sabrina Carpenter will crash out are among Ben's theories. He also does a jumpcut joke of "Trump will die" but I'm not taking that seriously. As... with the other predictions. 😛 Yeah.
• Nostradamus: I just heard of Nostradamus and need to know more about him. His 2025 predictions may or may not be that there could be an end to the Ukraine war but there will be a bunch more plague and wars to come, there will be explosions in the sky, a natural disaster in Brazil, and the rise of an aquatic empire.
  
• I'm just waiting for a ModernGurlz video, though I'm pretty sure they all came out the year of, not before.
  
• The fall of the Assad regime in Syria happened on December 8, 2024? What the!? How did I only find out just now??
• (December 10) I think this is how the media treated the uprising in Bangladesh as well. I am seeing more stuff about Syria than Bangladesh but I didn't see nearly enough about Bangladesh than national controversies at the time, same to Syria.
  
•  Also, I am holding in the urge to make a Find Luigi joke.

Update (December 10): Since November 15, 2024, there's been a postal workers strike in Canada. Keep that in mind!
Also, I don't know much about the situation but a judge has blocked The Onion from buying InfoWars.

Kimi to Idol leak

I know I should be civil and say I'm neutral but I believe the leaked character design is real. The most anatomically correct leaks end up being real.

Someone rumored the Kimi to Idol designs, at least for the lead, would look like Cure Heart, and said rumorer says about this image, "Well, someone finally leaked it."

I'm glad we have such a crazy hairstyle, she has a high ponytail, a bow formed by her hair (I wish I knew what they were called), and twindrills! I wish luck for the Pretty Style dolls and Halloween costume makers to make her hair (the kigurumi stylers might be fine though since the outfits are made for adults and they probably have less restraints)

News

• The 13th president of South Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, has declared martial law (for 6 hours because of giant protests) a few days ago and somehow I only found out now. There was an attempted impeachment of Yoon, but only 195 of the 200 lawmakers needed were present at the event so it had to be cancelled.
  
• The CEO of UnitedHealthcare has been shot dead after an investor meeting. The ammunition casing says "deny", "defend", and "depose".
• Barry Keoghan, the lead in Saltburn, has allegedly been cheating on Sabrina Carpenter. Huge turn. Someone has said he looked like a bull terrier. Another person said it was an insult to bull terriers.
  
• In the Project Sekai Autumn tournament 2024, one of the songs was Jinsei (Append, of course) and the user REN got a full combo on that song with 2,240 perfects and 2 greats.
• I almost lost my flower pillow cushion on the last day of the semester. Luckily it was a quick trip back.
• I submitted 4 videos for class in the span of two days. Four videos which all should've been twice as long as the length I submitted them in. Somehow I did that and the 3 Duolingo daily quests.
• Strategy by TWICE and Megan Thee Stallion is so good guys
• The last day of the semester can be stressful but for some reason that was a really good day. It's probably because I got a lot of compliments.
  

I'm so happy!

 

Okay yeah I have 24H2!

As you may know, Windows Recall is a very controversial feature. I won't explain it here. It is only on CoPilot+ computers (my computer came out right before CoPilot so my computer is not one of them) and I think its version has to be very early. But I still got those O&O apps.

It looks like the top bars on the programs are thinner? But I also have a computer setting that puts it to sleep automatically and I think the update did it for once. It used to not do it, like at all, likely because it was so used to me playing Spotify on it while sleeping (bad idea)

 Had a bad argument

also got O&O ShutUp10 and O&O AppBuster. No more Game Bar. No more Microsoft Family. Hope it works but if it doesn't there's always system restore.
