he's from senyuu!
his name is actually neun!! but i got used to the wrong romanization before the scanlation team realized and fixed it......after most of the original series was done
which is strange, the characters have gratitious german names, everyone else had their names spelled correctly, you'd think mister Nine September would also be romanized correctly, but...!!!!!
i rped him for years so the incorrect romanization stuck 🤣 even before they corrected it people knew it was wrong but we just kept using it. nowadays most people use the correct spelling cuz there's been way more story since then (even if he doesn't show up that much compared to the main character.. yes singular... if i say more i'm gonna start being very critical)
he's a somewhat important supporting antagonist...? but the plot of the original series is resolved now and they have no reason to be evil so they are just living i guess. his personality is very bad he's very annoying i don't think he has a single trait worth praising and he's old as hell. basically a kusogaki

OH that makes more sense!!!!!
to put it squarely i don't really like them that much. i'm not sure what the vision was here. i think if this isn't an accident this is just what crypton whats their loids to sound like which is a little mystifying to me, cause the V1/V2 banks are so excellent and charming...
i mean it's not all bad, some of the usage comparisons i've heard are slightly more expressive, but...
i'm not sure what's going on? the samples sound tinny, i think it soundd quite choppy, the consonants are quite prominent in a strange way... i really like miku nt for better or for worse but the SP repackages just took on the worst traits she had for whatever reason. i'm just incredibly confused overall. i have no idea if they sound the issue is piapro studio, like i wanna hear a usage in vocaloid (they should still be compatible...?) before i make a judgement
honestly it just sounds like they ran the samples through a compressor on audacity without listening to them it's very mystifying.
luka sounds marginally better than how NT sounds. but it's barely an improvement.....?¿ honestly i'm starting to think they just want luka to sound like that, that they want her to sound like a random soprano voice rather than a mature neesan. am i crazy? like it has to be on purpose at this point. these past years they've been shifting her image as a mascot too, it's so different, so maybe it's on purpose..??
i think miku v6 will have to hard carry here... hopefully the others make it to v6 too at this rate 😅

i don't have a large sample size so i had to think about this one a lot, but thinking about it, the act of writing itself with no context attached to it is quite fast, if i start a draft i can slam out a good 1~2k words to start off with in a few hours. after that i slow down and chill out. it depends, either i write a few sentences each day or i get struck with inspiration and write a lot in one sitting. either way, if i get hit with some kind of spark, i can write a lot.
however i'm the kind of person who after a few days of squeezing blood from a stone stops... i just leave stuff alone, not sure if i'll ever finish it. this does help whenever i wanna go back to it cuz i can look at it with refreshed eyes. sometimes it'll be a while until i write, i'll read it over and over after leaving it alone for a considerable amount of time. this could be weeks. and then suddenly some time later i wake up from a daze and i had finished something up (this happened recently, it is genuinely a strange daze).
for example, i started the stay gold thing on july 21st according to google docs, i ended up finishing it off, editing and posting it on august 17th. i guess this could be about the average, i had a similar turnaround for the first chapter of long distance (similar length even).
i try to set a deadline, but it doesn't work! but at least i was like, i need to post the second chapter before july starts!! (i was able to in the nick of time, but it was scary)

what website i use depends on what data i'm looking for, but what i post caps of on twitter is usually jbis. cuz it's what i use the most and it's easy to screenshot in a readable way (since on sns i'm trying to present information)
netkeiba is probably the best, but i don't feel like making an account (lazy lol), so i can't look at race lists and stuff. so it's easier to go on jbis, but also netkeiba has a lot of cool extra stuff like user submitted photography on each entry. (also i think it's the only site i use frequently that shows racing silks easily)
sometimes if i'm having trouble i'll use umanity, or i just plain search keywords in japanese and pick based on what i need (usually i end up on articles)
if you want information that's like, specific to a particular race, it absolutely has to be JRA most of the time (search the race name in japanese, it usually takes you to a list of years, you pick from there probably i forgot already). this is where i check the full list of what horse is in a certain race, popularity rank there, etc. ... it usually also has an embed from their youtube channel of said race if it was a graded one
but yeah what site to use is a matter of what info you need. i just find jbis very digestable and easy to use most of the time
