seriously though, why are we obsessed with the apocalypse?
The apocalypse. How many have we seen now? Hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands? There’s been so many and for so many different reasons. Aliens, zombies, nuclear war, asteroids, AIs, simian flu. If there’s a way the world could end, it’s probably already ended in that way. Okay, maybe at least not in the real word. Not yet anyway.
But as we stand on the brink of destruction, why then are we consuming more apocalyptic fiction than ever before?

    Former VampireFreaks user here, when it used to be a social media site for the alternative crowd. As a 37 year old guy, its almost surreal how a subculture a knew very well from back in the days is now a subject of nostalgia. Scene kids and Emo's were often ridiculed by members of other subcultures, so am glad know they are seen in a positive light and celebrated.

    I started playing Stardoll in 2012 after Girlsense closed down. I had so much fun decorating my doll, spending hours looking for rare items, digging through the blogs (RIP Underneath Stardoll), reading club drama, and making fake accounts to gift myself items -- they closed that loophole though lmfaoo. But Stardoll was a huge part of my childhood and how I expressed myself as an emo/scene teenager whose family wouldn't allow her to dress like that. Soo sooo many good memories, I could write so much more. I even played in college until they launched the app and I couldn't play anymore since I had a Mac.

    Everything nice always goes away, and ever since flash died, all these fun kids safe space websites go too. Especially for girls, since this is where they could express their creativity through dress up and makeup. Also, Stardoll might have had a 13 and up rule, but I'm sure there were a lot of girls younger than that going on there for the dress up aspect. My mom looked up about it and we thought about opening an account, but I kind of forgot about it after that and discovered something similar called "Idressup" (I was 11 or 12 and mature for my age at the time when I first discovered it, so she would allow me to get an account)

    As a veteran vocaloid lover, if you don't credit the artist, we'll often cold shoulder you. Also, it's really time to stop the misinformation that she's always underage, she's not. Miku is whatever you want her to be, and tbh, the more adult songs really don't portray her physically as she appears in her original form. Yes, she's sexualized, and yes, many people sexualize the underage version of her bc they're fkn sick in the head, but this narrative from non veteran consumers that these characters are always rigidly a specific age or in specific relation to each other is getting really old. There's no canon anything because EVERYTHING is canon about Miku. Genuinely every single song is technically canon; we wouldn't have old lady Miku if this wasn't true, which we do. It doesn't make me angry or anything, but it's very disheartening to see a lot of people being introduced to vocaloid with blatant misinformation.

    Mr. Resetti & Tom Nook are unsung heroes that teach younger people responsibilities in a very reasonable way. It's an ironic shame they are so hated.
