i've left twitter (except for emergencies), but i hate that it seems like it's still the place to get new eyes on your work and to connect with other artists who are also trying to grow. i don’t want to miss out on connections, but i really don’t want to feed the fascism machine with my presence.…

You’re doing great 🩵🩵

It’s a stunning song!!

On-Together is rly cute 🥺

CHEERING FOR YOU 📣📣

given everything going on it's been hard not to feel disheartened, but I've been so thankful to discover lately how many friends I still have in this vocalsynth space, even though I've been inactive for so long. you guys make this space still feel like home, thank you for making me feel welcome 🩵

@ghost-and-pals.bsky.social please check your email as soon as possible, thank you!

hey friends, it's come to my attention that CQ has been removed from Apple Music, Amazon, possibly other platforms too. i'm working towards a resolution

maybe next year I will get to go to my first in-person Miku Expo 🥺👉👈

I especially loved the passion and animation you sang with!! its amazing being able to see & feel as the viewer/listener how much the performer really loves what they do 💖

this Aishite cover by @veratan.bsky.social is absolutely unreal, i need to know what devil she struck a deal with to get killer pipes like that youtu.be/Hg8B_kOAQgM?...

My thoughts exactly!

So far this is my favorite strat!!

my instinct is that it’s irresponsible not to signal your age as an adult in a fandom space with minors, but i also worry that it would turn people away or lead to assumptions about my work, even though my pages will never contain explicit content 😵‍💫

genuinely curious about peoples thoughts on this!

i keep going back-and-forth on it, so im curious about y’all’s thoughts — what’s the general consensus on adults putting their age/age range in their bio? is it helpful for protecting minors, or is it too weird/awkward, too personal, or potentially alienating?

don’t forget to take your vitamins

LOVE THIS!!

question for my UTAU pals — who would y’all say are the folks most notable for making UTAU English covers these days?

Happy birthday!!

I've seen discourse surrounding artists "peaking" at 30 and I just want to say don't fall for that trap!
I'll be 45 this year and I don't think I've ever been more resolute about my work.
Existence and perseverance is art; you can not PEAK yourself. Every iota of creation you make is a miracle.☄️

by the way, if you like Candle Queen, you might like my song Commander of the Crows! they're both story-songs about outcasts with a vague menacing energy youtu.be/KMxPd_0d1b4
