Hi! Do you by chance have a link to the demon Papyrus/reader fic? If that got written? I vaguely recall that being posted and reblogged by you I think though I may be misremembering.
After some digging (because of course) I found these two posts:
One is a Demon Sans/reader fic (by eveefrost19) and the other is a post saying how it'd be NICE to have a Demon Paps/Reader fic
Oh the irony…
It's weird bc I also have a vague memory of one being sent to me. Idk, I'm old…
2021 Seirin was very carefree regarding tagging and updating the masterpost…Sorry Anon. Please tag me if you find it
alright, I'm going insane. I wanted to download some angel wings for Dana Silver, but the ones I want aren't available. Would anyone happen to have Nano_Nona's Archangel Type Wings Mesh? Here's the link to them on the internet archive, but it looks like the download is dead. for reference, here are some recolors of them:
these recolors are by lilsweetiecori @ MTS, but they haven't logged in for a while, and the mesh is not included with their downloads.
For now I'm going to settle for Lidiqnata's, but if anyone has these or knows where I can find them, please give me a shout! Thanks!
This is a bit of an unusual post for this blog, but I think I may have come across a case of lost media involving an anime pilot starring GUMI. It's possible that it exists on the Internet, and I hesitate to declare this as "lost media," but I cannot find it anywhere, and I figured that a post on this blog was the best way to see if anyone has any leads or extra info.
The anime is titled "Koisuru Dessan Ningyo," with an English title of "Do Drawing Dolls Dream of Love?" I don't know the runtime of the pilot, but I think it was most likely around 5-7 minutes. I believe this could have been the first instance of a Vocaloid being cast in a main voice acting role (perhaps, the first one cast in any voice acting role). I'm not completely sure if they actually used the Megpoid voicebank, or had Megumi Nakajima voice act as GUMI, but the way AnimeAnime (Japanese anime news site) describes it, it seems like it may have been the former. In either case, the character that GUMI portrays in the anime is a character that is clearly made to resemble her.
(These are the only screenshots I could find that come from the pilot, but more may exist.)
The main character is a doll (who I'm not sure is named), who models for a girl's drawings before eventually falling in love with her. I don't believe GUMI's character has a name, but she plays a main role as the girl the doll falls in love with.
Where It Was Seen
The pilot aired on NHK TV on January 9, 2014, during late night (possibly just after midnight?). It aired alongside another pilot as part of the program Aoyama 1seg Kaihatsu. This was a sort of tournament, where two pilots were broadcast once a month for three months, and viewers would vote for which pilot they liked best. Then, the three winners would go against each other in a final round, where the pilot with the most votes would get picked up to become a series. (I think they held this tournament once a year from 2010 to 2014 or 2015, though I don't know if it was the exact same every time.) The broadcast was 25 minutes long for each of the first three rounds, with the first half dedicated to showing both pilots and the second half dedicated to presentations about each pilot. (This is why I think this pilot was around 5-7 minutes, though I'm not sure exactly how much time commercial breaks would take up.) For a few years, including 2014, the program was hosted by the now-disbanded Japanese girl group E-girls (no relation to what you and I know as "e-girls." in their case the E stands for "exile.")
According to the official Tumblr account, karappo-heart, this pilot won the first round of the competition! It probably didn't make it out of the finals, though, since it didn't get picked up for a series. It's also possible that it did win, but some other issues prevented its production. In any case, the Tumblr account hasn't been updated since the first round ended. While this contest was going on, three shorts were apparently available to watch on NHK's website, but they have since been removed. I think at least one of the shorts was web-exclusive. I haven't been able to find info on who actually won the finals, or even what GUMI's short won against.
People Involved
The doll is portrayed by a masked dancer refererred to as Hitori de Dekiru Mon. I can't find much info about him online, but I think his real name is Takemura Ryohei. (I'm not sure because that part on his Japanese Wikipedia article has a "citation needed" label.) AnimeAnime specifically refers to his role as being the doll's "human form," though it's possible he provided voice acting too. AnimeAnime points out the unusual nature of having a human portray a doll, and having a Vocaloid portray a human.
Masanori Okamoto (who also wrote the screenplay and produced the pilot) animated the pilot with the pixilation technique, using time-lapse pictures to show movement of objects and people (this may have included live-action photos of the doll's actor portraying a "human form" of the doll). It seems like it may have blended stop motion/puppetry and live action stills with traditional animation? This is an example of Okamoto's work from around the same time, which seems like it might have been made in a similar style:
The third known person to have worked on this is none other than Vocaloid producer sasakure.UK. He composed the theme song, which of course features GUMI, and a few other songs to be used in potential future episodes. If you're a big fan of his, the anime title may sound familiar to you, as he released 3 of these songs (though both news sites I looked at, AnimeAnime and Anime News Network, say he made 4 total) plus their instrumentals as an EP under the same title. You can listen to the whole thing on YouTube!
I think this EP uses GUMI's VOCALOID3 voicebanks (the first sounds like either Native or Sweet, the second one sounds like Adult or Power (if it even is GUMI--it sounds more like IA to me, but sasakure.UK labeled it as a GUMI song so I kinda have to take his word for it) and the third sounds like Sweet). If that's the case, her V3 voicebanks would have probably been used for the voice acting, too.
Places I've Looked
After some Internet searches only garnered me a few screenshots, I decided to see if there was a way I could ask sasakure.UK himself about the short. I believe he has a contact form on his website, which I used to send a message in both Japanese and English (in case Google Translate was more helpful to him than my incoherent Japanese). This was back in May of this year and I never received a response. (Since I used a website contact form and not a direct email, I don't have the message I sent him anymore. I guess that's lost media now too.)
It occured to me while writing this post that I never contacted the animator himself, Masanori Okamoto. While his Vimeo and YouTube pages don't have the pilot, and his Twitter and Tumblr links haven't been updated in several years, he does have an email address listed. I sent him a message (in English because I was too sick and tired to try to write a coherent email in Japanese and I don't like waiting to do these things). I'm not sure he still checks his email since his social media that I've found has all been inactive for years, but I will post an update if he responds.
I know that this pilot is not on the NHK website, or, again, on the animator's YouTube or Vimeo pages. I also could not find it on the Internet Archive.
Now, I don't expect anyone reading this to have saved this on their computer and kept it there since 2014. But with this post, my goal is simply to make more people aware that this exists at all, and I'd also like to learn more about it myself (such as whether or not the pilot won in the finals after all, how much animation actually exists for it, if any more screenshots are out there, etc.)
Thank you for reading such a long post! Please feel free to correct any info I got wrong, or add on to this post with any knowledge you might have about this lost pilot!

Do you know about this Stranger Things teaser? (Posibbly lost teaser)
A few years ago, I watched a teaser for Stranger Things that i can't find. I think it was a teaser for the first or second season.
The teaser begins showing a television zapping throught many ads and shows. The only one i remember was an oreos commercial. Then a kid (probably Eleven) that was watching the Tv put a bandage over their eyes. Then the title of the show appeared.
I tried to find it on Youtube on the official Netflix channels in different countries but i couldn't find it. Then i tried to go to Netflix to see if it was there, but again, nothing.
I really want to find this teaser. It appear to me in the Youtube ads before a video. If anyone knows about these teaser, I would be glad i they give a clue to find it. And if you are also curious about this teaser, reblog this post and write a question. I will try to answer them and bring all the details I remember.
Hi everyone! So it’s clear I don’t take enough time to write on here but here’s the good news! I’m finally taking the time to look for writers!
I do have a few requirements from writers but nothing that can’t be filled! They are as follow:
Need to have an interest in MMD (MikuMikuDance)
Need to have an interest in old MMD Assets (Models, stages, accessories, etc.)
Enjoy writing!
Enjoy hunting!
Have a Tumblr account
Anyone interested can message me directly through Tumblr or through Discord (My discord is AnimeFreak1540#5825).
I hope to hear from everyone soon!
EDIT: It’s come to my attention that I never clarified which Tumblr account to DM. If you plan on messaging me through Tumblr, please DM animefreak1540.
