Izabella Octavia @xroboticschickx - Tumblr Blog

Hoiiii

I'm honestly never actually active on this app anymore and I have no urge to ever do askblogging again (I want to but I can't handle it emotionally anymore), so I'm deleting Tumblr. My account will remain up but I will not be using it much anymore. If any of my Tumblr friends that are on here (if there's any left) want to talk to me, you can find me on Twitter (or X now. I hate the new rebrand. It's bullshit) at XroboticschickX. You can DM me there.

I made the mistake of taking up Tumblr as my main go to social media platform during a time where I was in a very bad situation at home (narcissistic abusive stepfather and overall an unsafe situation, but I'm out of that situation now and my mom and I are trying to repair our relationship) and because of how I am emotionally, I definitely played a part in a lot of close relationships that crumbled and I regret every one of them. If I could do it all over, I would. I won't say names bc I don't want them to get harangued about "you hurt this person" or "why did you block this person" or any of that. I don't want them to get harassed over a thing that wasn't entirely their fault.

On a shorter note, I came to Tumblr to find a safe haven but I gravely underestimated just how fucked up the internet is. Especially certain fandoms. It just made it worse. Twitter isn't exactly a good alternative (it looks like some weird ass dating site now), it's where every VTuber posts all their updates and gains some traction. While I'm better at handling it now, I get reminded of every mistake I've made every time I open this app, so I'm deleting it for my own mental health.

I wish all of you well.

TETO KASANE AI SYNTH V Q&A FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW WHAT ANY OF THIS MEANS

People are talking about the insane Teto News and I feel like as the resident vocal synthesis dork i wanna clarify some things with her new voicebank so. Here we go:

Q: Is she a VOCALOID now?

A: no, although this will be her first premium, professional voicebank, it is not on the VOCALOID engine. Teto will be on Synthesizer V and will feature as an AI voicebank

Q: What is an AI voicebank? Is it techbro stuff?

A: not at all, AI voicebanks are voicebanks that are not only recorded with samples given by a voice provider, but are trained on the provider's singing as data to help the voicebank have a more natural sounding synthesis, and this allows it to tune itself too. Voice providers are paid for this work and give consent for it to be used, it isn't built on stolen work or time.

Q: Will her previous UTAU banks dissapear? Do we HAVE to pay for Teto now?

A: No, although in the case of some previous VOCALOID banks voice providers of UTAU banks were asked to delete distribution of their UTAU banks as they were now voicing a premium bank, this seems to be a thing of the past and also only an issue that would occur for VOCALOID voicebanks and their providers, Synthesizer V has a few banks that were previously UTAU banks that are still in distribution, so it is likely Teto's previous voicebanks will remain too.

Q: How much would Teto SynthV cost?

A: around $80, which is standard for most third party character voices for the engine. If you wish to get her just digitally however, I recommend getting her through DLsite as there are frequent discounts and coupons there. I preordered teto for £51 after my coupon discount there (note; this site also sells adult doujin, be careful where you tread)

Q: Do I need Synthesizer V to use her SynthV bank?

A: yes. Specifically you would need Synthesizer V Pro, which is a paid version of the programme. This comes to about $151 from the Dreamtonics website, and you can get any one of the currently avalible dreamtonics own voicebanks as a bundle with it.

Q: why do you care so much about answering these hypothetical questions

A: cause the alternative is having to see misinformation spread about one of the things i am extremely autistic about.

Anyway feel free to drop me any questions if u have any.

A small addendum:

‼️You can use AI libraries with the free version of Synthesizer V‼️

Basic engine:

NO cross-lingual synthesis

NO Tone Shift (Tone Shift shifts the singing from lower octaves to higher ones and vice versa; you may actually really want this for Teto, as her original voicebank uses pitching)

NO vocal modes

3 tracks

Slower rendering

No iterative autopitch tuning (But you do get autopitch!)

No user-made plugins

No MIDI keyboard support

You get Mai for free if you buy Synth V pro, so if you buy a $150 bundle you get TWO voices to start with, but if you don't have $220 to drop all of a sudden you can just start with Teto.

State of Teto in the wake of The Announcement

No, Teto will not become pay to use and her UTAU banks will remain up for download.

Her official site was just updated and has all her UTAU banks archived. If you're really worried about losing access, I'd suggest downloading them now. https://kasaneteto.jp/utau/

A Lite synthv for Teto was confirmed during a twindrill dev stream. For non synthv people, that's a free albeit less quality version of Teto AI.

Crypton future media was involved in the planning of Teto Synthv, though it seems only behind the scenes. Her TOS now requires that Crypton be contacted for commercial use of Tetos character.

a fools guide to not wanting to die anymore

by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore

never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.

find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.

talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore

picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else

if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

That’s some pretty good advice. I don’t know what’s left of my humor after ‘guess I’ll just die’ jokes but it’s worth a shot.

snackwizard

Personally i went from “guess I’ll die” jokes to “IF I HAVE TO BE HERE FOR 5 MORE MINUTES I PROMISE YOU I WILL BUY JUST, AN ARRAY OF CLOTHES.” and other wild hyperbolic stuff. Just replace the death part with something ridiculous and off topic. Its very entertaining

808lien

This also works with calling myself things like stupid, worthless, trash, etc. Even if you do this jokingly to yourself, your brain still believes it, and keeps up the cycle. Seriously, I found that when I stopped saying these things about myself, even jokingly, it made a massive difference.

maramahan

Here’s a tip I picked up from a friend that’s helped me a lot — replace self deprecating jokes with ironically self aggrandizing jokes

Like every time I trip and fall, instead of saying “l’m just a disaster human” I say “I’m the epitome of grace and beauty”

Or like, when I draw a picture I’m not 100% happy with, instead of saying “my art is trash” I say something like “you know I think it’s time we replaced the Mona Lisa”

When you do that you get to make a joke, but you’re ALSO getting practice building yourself up, y’know?

And eventually it becomes a reflex and you get so used to it that you can say nice stuff about yourself even when you AREN’T joking

jkl-fff

scottjate

This is so important

graylinesspam

That self-aggrandizing technique is no joke.

I replaced “I’m stupid” with “I’m a God damn genius.” “Move over newton” “another masterpiece”

I replaced “gross/ disgusting” with “sexy/attractive” “the hight of elegance”

I replaced “I suck/ that sucked/ this is bad” with “fantastic”, “a lovely time”, “ swell/jolly good”

Replace every negative with a positive. Say it so sarcastically. Make it complicated make it entertaining have fun with it.

It will stop your self deprecating and build confidence. And people are more easygoing around you.

earlgraytay

this is your regular, cranky reminder that you are never going to get people to give up something that humans inherently do by guilting and shaming them.

no matter how strongly you feel that people ought to feel bad about doing something, and no matter how correct you are about whether or not they should feel bad.

shaming someone is an emotional attack. and the more vitriolic your attempt at shame is, the more vicious the attack is. most people, by the time they're adults, recognize this, and have built up various defenses against emotional attacks.

the only people that shame 'works' on the way you want it to work are not mentally well. they have moral OCD, or scrupulosity issues, or have been abused so badly that they do not feel like they have the right to have boundaries, or some combination of the three.

most people with healthy boundaries and healthy emotional responses will see your weaponized shame as an attack on them, and will react accordingly. and they are correct to do so. because part of having healthy boundaries is not letting random people emotionally attack you, regardless of how correct they are.

you can convince people that you are right and they are wrong. but the harder you try to make them feel ashamed, the less effective you're going to be. you're just gonna trigger a bunch of people who are mentally ill and make everyone else pissed at you.

partiallyvoid-mostlystars

ok but i still think we should shame bigots.

earlgraytay

If shame doesn't make bigots stop being bigots- if it makes them into worse bigots- what's the point of shaming them?

Is it to make other people afraid to be openly bigoted? We've seen how that goes, long-term. Look at how people talked about racism in the 90s, and look about how they talk about it today. Shame doesn't make bigotry taboo; it just makes talking about it taboo.

Is it to keep them out of your spaces, or out of the public sphere? You're better off having clear rules and expectations, and applying those rules fairly to everyone. Shame is a tool of social control, and like all tools of social control, it's most likely to be aimed at the most vulnerable members of society.

Is it to make yourself feel better and give yourself an outlet to hurt people who've hurt you? Because... that's not a good idea. It is an understandable thing to want. It is not an evil thing to want. But once you turn your belief system into "hurt the people who've hurt me", you are going to do harm to people who don't deserve it.

If you want to ~kill the cop inside your head~, you have to get rid of the idea that shame is a tool worth using.

headspace-hotel

Things that feel justified aren't always effective, and we have to keep that in mind

Stop asking "do they deserve it?" Ask instead "does this help?"

Punishment has no inherent good qualities. It can only result in good if it causes a change. There is nothing inherently good, just, or useful simply in inflicting it on someone who has done wrong.
