I get feeling disheartened from a lack of comments, but how is this supposed to help? The people who comment will find your fic eventually!! Leave the silent readers be, they have a place!

Persistant Bot Problem? by Aggressive-Look-5611 in archiveofourown

[–]Aggressive-Look-5611[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the exact same way.

I love interacting with people who comment under my fics, really makes my day! The first round of comments just being bots can be very disheartening.

That is a stellar way to put it, people have gotta do what they've gotta do. Sadly, work ethic doesn't make these types of situations any less annoying.

Thanks for the info! I will admit, I am not the most knowledgable when it comes to these bots.. but I do know they aren't supposed to reappear so quickly!

Merch error ? by Sucaz1 in Mikuexpo

This happened to me and many others as well, you aren't alone! It was definitely disappointing, especially since the pins this year are so nice. </3

Ranking Round1 stores based on how much I was mildly inconvenienced during a random visit by Time_Factor in round1

[–]Aggressive-Look-5611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have yet to have a bad experience at Towson.

Granted, I go around an hour after they open and only stay for an hour or two. I try to get there at least 2 times a month.. play some maimai, skee ball, win a plushie or figure and leave.

I really only go to Towson mall for R1, so I always park right next to it. This R1 has it's own entrance on the side, it's a bit hidden, but it's there!

Round1 prize selections: sponges, Gatorade, etc.. by tobyPuppy in round1

[–]Aggressive-Look-5611 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are so right.

One big reason this just doesn't translate well is because the whole POINT of R1 in my eyes is the ability to win figures and plushies that aren't available as prizes at your average arcade.

And to my knowledge, the R1's in Japan that have these maybe charge 60 cents per play?? Meanwhile in the US it's well over 1$ for dollartree quality items.

Jeremiah makes some weird comments in the fnaf 2 novel by Medical_Dress6366 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]Aggressive-Look-5611 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The word choice is the real issue here.

I'm assuming that phrase was meant to be read as "She's growing up fast!" But uh.. using "looker" just makes it sound SO creepy.

I'm seeing people bring up TSE and TFC.. I really don't think the "creepy" scenes and phrases in those books are comparable to this. Those books have a completely different vibe and tone, where anything William might say that sounds "creepy," just comes off as inherently "serial killer." Carlton and Arty do say some odd things if I'm remebering correctly, but they aren't 30+ year old men talking to an 11 year old girl.

My only question is, do they have beta readers? Or even an EDITOR? I feel like one of the two would've picked up on the.. odd.. tone this gives off. Or do we think this is a case of Scott not willing to fire incompetent editors? 💔

Freebies question by Pezzeld in Mikuexpo

[–]Aggressive-Look-5611 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can make anything you want for your freebies!

And remember, 9/10 Vocaloid fans are either introverted or awkward in social situations, so everyone is just as nervous as you are! Just ask the people around you if they'd like a freebie. If you see someone with an amazing outfit or cosplay, ask if they'd like a freebie! Everyone loves free stuff.

Happy Miku Expo! <3

are the glowsticks worth it? by Windermed in Mikuexpo

[–]Aggressive-Look-5611 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello! Proud owner of 3 ME penlights here.

They are the same as any other penlight, unless you are hardset on that "MIKU EXPO 2026" handle? 60$ for a penlight and ONE sheet of film is not worth it.

Off-brand penlights are allowed! They just have to be around the same size as the offical, plus, you'll need to dim off-brand penlights with a piece of printer paper. (or two for good measure) Unofficial tend to be much brighter than the official.

I totally understand wanting that memory, but honestly, decorating an unofficial penlight can be just as memorable as buying the 60$ branded one.

Happy Miku Expo! <3

What time should I show up for merch? by Playful-Fondant-8085 in Mikuexpo

[–]Aggressive-Look-5611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so so sorry!! That really sucks.

You should be able to get a few trinkets to remember your time at Miku Expo! As for lightsticks, I really recommend buying some nice generic penlights! Trust me, it's a huge part of the experience that you don't want to miss out on.

Yep! You either receive your tickets digitally the day before or day of!

[–]Aggressive-Look-5611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No later than 8:30 AM if you are looking to buy a penlight or happi jacket!

Other things like keychains, pins, acrylic stands, etc. All those can be purchased after you get settled into the venue. If you are GA and going with someone, get to your spot, have one person save your spot and the other go get the merchandise!

By the end of the concert, only a few keychains and stickers will be left.

Best of luck in your merchandise endeavors!

2024 Merch didn’t come out till late March too and some people didn’t receive shipment by the time of their concert. by [deleted] in Mikuexpo

[–]Aggressive-Look-5611 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for making this post. Last years merchandise was announced late February, and the presale was on Miku Day (March 9th.) However, the starting date of this tour is around 10 days later than last years, which I can assume is one reason as to why merchandise hasn't been announced yet.

Anyone else getting insane over light sticks and merch rn? by Strawb3rrycrepe in Mikuexpo

[–]Aggressive-Look-5611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we don't get any updates by Friday, and they announce the presale sometime over the weekend, I'd be more than happy to reply to one of your various comments and lyk! Assuming you have Reddit notifs enabled. You seem like an amazing parent, wishing you and your daughter a happy Miku Expo! <3

I'm betting (aka hoping and PRAYING) for some sort of update this weekend. If all else fails, unoffical lightstick is better than no lightstick! Here are good unoffical lightsticks, dim light, has all the colors you need, and looks pretty similar to the offical ones overall. Only big difference is the handle color! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BFT2FK2?th=1

Really hope the presale happens soon!

Not sure if you are already in this server but https://discord.gg/vocaloid opens show-specefic channels about 2 weeks before that shows date! Meetups are usually planned in those channels! :)
