GUYS I JUST SAW SONIC 3!!!! It Was So Good!!!

Okay so I spent at least 30 minutes rambling about my favorite song of all time on Reddit this morning. I’m sharing this with you guys because why not.

My favorite song is Patchwork Staccato by Toa feat. Hatsune Miku. It’s been my favorite since early 2022.

Miku’s tuning sounds so innocent and sad, the way the instrumental builds gives me chills, and I love the repetition in the lyrics, which is normally a pet peeve of mine but here it works cause it actually adds weight to the meaning.

I like the art in the official upload. Miku looks so pretty in a white dress and it looks like a colored pencil style.

Also I know it has little to do with the official song but I adore the choreography in the project diva music video and the one in the concert. I can lowkey see someone teaching a similar choreography in a dance class like ballet or lyrical

But back to the song, the middle part in the bridge with the high doo doo doos would sound absolutely horrible if the tuning couldn’t pull it off. But Toa DID pull it off and it sounds soft but not screechy which is difficult to do.

Speaking of the tuning Miku’s breathes and her little “ahem” are so adorable and fit in so well

Also with the lyrics, as someone who is learning Japanese but doesn’t understand most of this song, they sound so pleasing to listen to. It’s a similar feeling to hearing clever word choice or rhyme in an English song. Part of it has to do with the actual good repetition as mentioned earlier, but also I just like the way the words are pronounced, it sounds nice.

But also with the lyrics and their meaning, while I can’t relate to the song exactly (the only unrequited love I’ve ever felt that actually hurt was for fictional characters lol) I can still sympathize with the singer. Unable to get rid of your feelings for someone who never loved you back, and when you finally do questioning if you can ever be happy again is so melancholy and heartbreaking I love it. It’s even more depressing when you consider that this song is from the perspective of a young girl (going off of the art and the fact Miku is used, unless Toa used this song to vent, which is even more sad), probably in love for the first time. It’s the type of realistic lyrics and meaning I like in great Vocaloid tracks and why I love them so much.

Also I know I already brought up the song’s buildup but it’s one of the best parts. The way it starts quite with a solo Miku, then they add a piano and a few robotic toy sounds, and then by the end you have tons of vocal harmonies and violins and it sounds so full and sweeping AAAAA I LOVE IT.

I think I’ll stop here before I keep writing until the end of time. I know this isn’t structured well but I just had to share this.

Also Toa used random sounds in his songs before Haraguchi Sasuke made it cool (no offense to him, just a common similarity I found in both works).

The Justice That Belongs to You:

I made this after beating the Pacifist Route. It took longer than I want it to.

This is gold

spirited away tracks, if you even care

I’ve been reading this awesome Undertale Yellow fic called Wings of Justice by Boptodatop and decided to make some fanart doodles for it.

I tried giving Clover as many little details as the fic described. Also gave Martlet her long hair.

Little late but here’s the games I’m most excited for from the Direct!

Btw that’s my old 3ds mii :)

I had an epiphany last week and I need to share this:

I held a fanart contest on my Youtube channel in February and 2nd place wanted a fanart of their OC. She’s cute so I thought I’d share.

Edit: Wait they got a Tumblr. Here you go @nightfallsongbird

Shadow the Hedgehog

Sonic The Hedgehog

Here’s that Fiyeraba art I promised

This is for day 10 of Shipbruary. It’s not my best but I like the idea

Also the dress was based off of this random picture I found of Jessica Vosk

Let me introduce to y’all, Gremlin Ethne!

This is the tiny gremlin version of myself/my OC, enabling all my incredibly silly actions.

She came about because I have been feeling way too chaotic recently. I just wanna see silly things happen, and this gremlin is the personification of that feeling.

Do with her what you will, though she may bite your ankles :)
