Basically, I made the grave mistake of mentioning to my coworkers that I preferred the idea of taking courses that didn't cost much and they were aghast because if someone is publishing a course or a class and is charging less than $2,000 for it, they're basically telling people it doesn't have any value or worth.
Which I just, uh, don't agree with? But I don't know. Then I was curious whether I was in the minority here or if it was a case of 'my coworkers have really weird and bad takes'.

Geological horror. You find a geode and crack it open and the crystal lining its walls is human blood that can't be genetically matched to anyone. You find a human skeleton but every one of the bones is made from rock, a rock that you know can't be whittled into those shapes. You find layers of clay and loam that sport ancient fossils at the top and the still-rotting corpses of modern animals at the bottom.

miku expo 2024 is the dashcon of vocaloid concerts. the projectors were replaced with LEDs and organizers told no one, still charged ppl for the projectors. someone stole the Miku canada cut out. vocaloid producers are really mad that attendees are mad that they got scammed because nothing comes before Product. the event banned glowsticks and upcharged the sale of their own, under the excuse that average glowsticks would interfere with the projectors, that the organizers knew they did not have. someone pissed on the floor. car crash outside the venue in san jose
containment breach
Some further points I'd like to add on, as a Vocaloid fan myself:
- MikuExpo has been going on for years and this is the first time it's been so. ummmmmmm
- "The Miku Canada cutout", from what I understand, belonged to a fan vendor. Said fan vendor got harassed by venue staff for selling "unlicensed" merch, even though this has always been a thing because Hatsune Miku is a goddamn musical instrument whose clout only exists through virtue of fans making things and it would be absolutely counterproductive to tell fans not to make things. ?????? I believe the cutout was eventually returned but like. holy shit man
- The hologram technology normally used for Vocaloid concerts is not actually particularly complicated. In a nutshell, it's more or less just a projector combined with a piece of glass or a scrim, similar to pepper's ghost. I used to do this in my family's computer room as a kid by turning the lights off, loading up MikuMikuDance with a black background and setting the monitor to full brightness opposite a glass window. The fact that they replaced this easily achieved effect with an LCD screen is genuinely baffling??
- People are talking about getting together a class-action lawsuit against Crunchyroll
- The MikuExpo twitter has been ignoring every controversy and continuing as normal posting about "doors are open for such-and-such venue!" "Don't forget to get your MikuExpo 2024 merch!" while getting flooded with comments just going ADDRESS THE DAMN LCD SCREEN like literally people just want them to fucking communicate and they are. not
- Miku is set to appear at Coachella and no one knows how the fuck that's gonna go
#I was at the Vancouver show#and I still had fun but it definitly wasn't what I was expecting#My friends and I were looking at the screen on stage like surely that's not what we think it is#and then turned out to be exactly what we thought it was#I think they ran out of most things at the merch table before the doors to the venue were set to open too#at lesat they had by the time I got there#the band though! They CARRIED#Like the band intro part was probably one of the most exciting parts of the show they all killed it!!!

BIG fan of this design choice
When they're. they're at a healthier point in time (no longer running from the horrors or fighting to survive) and their body shows that-- softening its edges :')

It's not a love triangle or even a love square. It's a love dodecahedron (polycule) and Chess is in the middle of it.
Sometime soon, I'll make a visual of all these relationships and write a detailed analysis of how these relationships are all different but all work. But it is not this day.
Content warning for sexual themes. Not so much a visual, but a chart of the characters and their different relationships with each other. I will go through how each character sees the other characters and what their relationship entails. I did want to try a visual, but I was too lazy, lol. Tagging: @ratracechronicler, @maple-writes, @pen-of-roses, @drabbleitout, and @grailfish!
I love this!!! Also imagining them all living together and trying to fill out something like a census or tax return and having to just send in a diagram to explain everything is funny XD
