Okay So I Spent At Least 30 Minutes Rambling About My Favorite Song Of All Time On Reddit This Morning.
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).

I have a confession to make about Undertale Yellow’s Vengeance route
So, I’ve done both Neutral and Pacifist, and I was playing the Vengeance route last night and I was in the Dunes and I got to Ceroba and… I really enjoyed killing almost all the monsters there? Like it felt good to wipe them out. Dunebuds are annoying little turds, Sir Slither is beta Jerry, El Balidor is a terrible boss fight, and Ceroba is my least favorite character in the whole game. It felt almost cathartic to see characters who have given me a head-ache die by my hands (granted, I haven’t killed Ceroba yet, but I started on her last night). The only enemies I felt kind of bad for were the little flower girls and Cactony.
I have NEVER once felt like this when doing Undertale’s genocide, and while I haven’t done Snowgrave, none or the enemies in Deltarune have made me frustrated in the same way Yellow’s has (expect for Jevil but I’ve spared and beaten him up more times than I can count).
Heck, even in Yellow I felt bad for the enemies I was fighting up until this point. Never in a “I can feel the sins crawling on my back” way (except for Dalv), but in a “Look, y’all are cute, you definitely don’t deserve this, but I wanna see the end of this route, so you gotta die. Sorry :(“ way, similar to how I felt with the Undertale enemies that weren’t main characters. Once I hit the dunes though, it was over. It was a complete bloodbath (dustbath?) and I enjoyed every second of it.
I know morally killing cute animals in a video game doesn’t effect me, but I still find it interesting how different my mental state was during this part of the game compared to other times I’ve done this before.
Little late but Happy Easter! ✝️
Went to a thrift store today. Here’s my haul :)

I’m still behind but at least we’re going somewhere with this
I’m writing a parody of Stronger than You with Clover and I need help.
I’m reposting this to Tumblr to see if the Tumblrinas have any advice. I’m writing a parody right now of Stronger than you with Clover. It will be for the Genocide route for the fight against Martlet. Anyway I have two versions of a line and I don’t know which one to go with.
The line is replacing,
“I am their mercy,
I am their vengeance,
I am determination.”
For the version I’m working on, Clover will be referring to Monster kind, as opposed to people they care about like Sans did.
Version A is:
“I am their Judgement,
I am their Reaper,
I am their Condemnation,”
Version B is:
“I am their Judgement,
I am their Reaper,
I am their Retribution,”
I know it’s only one word, but the power of that last line is what I consider to be the most powerful line in the whole song, so I NEED to get it right.
I originally picked the word “Condemnation” because it rhymes with “determination,” no one ever uses that word anymore, and it has a double meaning. It could mean Clover is condemning the monsters for their actions, AND that they’re condemning them to a life forever trapped in the underground because they’re taking the human souls when they leave.
But then I listened to the Undertale Yellow song “retribution,” and started having second thoughts. Retribution also fits well in the same spot and if I use it, it will be referring to Clover’s retribution against the monsters and be a fun song reference.
I LIKE BOTH FOR DIFFERENT REASONS. Which one should I use?
