Uuuuu, your voice is just fine. Especially trying not to draw too much attention. Though the reverb is a bit bendy. Are you recording in a bathroom?

Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying
I'm not a singer...so I'm sorry this sounds horrid XD. It didn't help I was nervous when recording this either and excuse any weird microphone sounds (Edit: And I'm sorry Yuu-chan that it's not on a proper karaoke site. I didn't want my family to hear me singing a full blown song XD) >w<
https://voca.ro/12E46XHZXhvF
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying Nope, I was in my room. I was using an app for the echo effect, and thank you! You're too kind about my voice XD, yours is really pretty as well
yuuzora @yuuzora Ah, I can understand. I use a bit of reverb also just to make up for the flat acoustics. Is there any songs you want to try together? I can splice them or maybe we can harass one of the others on here to do it for us. >)
Do you know any sea chanties? I think I know a few hymns but they're either in Irish or Latin.
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying I only know a bit of the Wellerman song, but I can easily learn that. I don't listen to music much so I'm sorry I don't have many options D':
yuuzora @yuuzora Ooo, the Wellerman is a good one. I'm still learning it in English. So we can learn together. What's your range. From what I heard you might be lyrical alto. I'm a lyrical soprano. :)
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying I don't know my range? I don't pay attention when I sing XD
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying And I don't know voices like that and how to tell what I fall in
yuuzora @yuuzora I can help there. The basics is that SATB is the range of singers from Soprano(very high, usually women) Alto(high mid, usually women) Tenor(Mid low, usually men) and Bass(low, usually men). The lyrical and coloratura are the flow of a person's voice. Lyrical is more to flow, 'flitting like a butterfly' and coloratura is more solid like a stream of water. :)
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying Ah? Then is lyrical alto a specific type of alto or what? I don't know how to word it, I'm sorry XD
yuuzora @yuuzora Yup. Lyrical alto is a low female voice that has a light tone. The beauty of sea chanties is you can sing any part you want. So you can sing what you know first and I can harmonize if you feel comfortable with that. I've been working on translating the Wellerman, oddly Wellerman is the way Ires and Cockneys say "Whaler men". XD
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying Woah, that's so interesting! You know some stuff about music, did you grow up with it a lot? And if I am a lyrical alto, does that mean my voice does better with lower notes or what? I'll try to find time to sing somewhere in my house (hopefully) and I need to read up on the Wellerman. Do you want me (if I'm able to get to it) to add a little beat with my hand? Like thump on something or will the music be added later on?
yuuzora @yuuzora You don't have to, but if it'll help you, that will be okay. As both Irish and Japanese, both those groups have strong roots to music steeped in the culture. Irish people have great rhythm and Japanese have good 'tonality'
Lower notes are usually more comfortable for altos. So basically the part sung by the rest of the crew is going to be alto. You can sing whichever solos you want. I like them all, so it won't matter to me. The beauty of sea chanties is they're super loose and easy to have fun with.
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying I want to try and do it, it's just my house is sadly not big enough to sing anywhere quiet or private XD, but I'll try to find space and record a few lines or something? Heck I can even sing the whole song and you can take away or add something to it (if that's possible?) And that's such a beautifully interesting mix you have ^^, I meant to tell you my eldest sisters said you sounded beautiful when I described you once in passing
yuuzora @yuuzora E. I can at least sing in tune, though my rhythm isn't great. But we can do just a small portion or you can split the song in half. I'll probably end up recording in my car when it gets a little warmer. Even in there is better acoustics than my house. lol. I'm lucky I live on a quiet street.
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying I'd say I live somewhere quiet...but if it's not my family and I being loud it's definitely the gunshots and sirens XD. It's okay, Yuu-chan, I feel like my rhythm and tuning is off lol, I think you do really well from what I heard
yuuzora @yuuzora Your tuning sounded fine, it was more the acoustics. It's why you felt you had to add so much reverb. You want to try finding that reverb naturally. Basically any room or space with enough smooth/non porous surface like tile or wood. The sound bounces so you can hear yourself and sing more in tune.
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying Ah, I see. My house is funky shaped anyhow...so maybe that doesn't help anything either? XD
yuuzora @yuuzora I'm gonna run experiment tonight recording in front of my window. I've heard the reverb is not too bad if you sing close to a closed window. I'll let you know how it goes.
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying Okay, Yuu-chan, thank you!

If you were walking through a nice park and saw three paths ahead of you, which would you choose:
Mossy path. I'm a sucker for ravines, rivers gorges, and rugged trails. Though not going to lie, all three paths sound like they have something for me. For example, might be fun doing some randonaughting on the gnarled path.
5. What if if you did turn back, the park was not what you remembered it to be?
Stay calm, Get out of my head, and try to orient myself to physical sensation. Open myself spiritually after I have been grounded and get a sense for what is in the area. If I can't detect the presence of fae or elementals, and if everything reflects physical reality, and not some wierd liminal overlap between physical and etheric, then it's a matter of finding a river and following it to a road or civilization.
If I do sense fae fuckery, then lock onto them, and just kinda be like "I know." I don't care what steps out of that bush, be it a dog man or a pale crawler. I have some tricks of my own.
Chocopyro @chocopyro It will likely be fast food chicken nuggets if anything. Trail food can get expensive. Could always forage if I need to.

Missed this one, but it also sounded fun. 1. Do you read manga?
Yes, but I haven't for a while.
2. Have you ever read a full color manga?
No. They have those?
3. Do you read in several languages?
My Hirogana and Katakana are rusty.
4. Would you rather be a haunted potato field or a haunted peach tree?
Peaches, if only because they are more abundant in etheric energy, thus the spirit would have something to subsist off of other than me.
5. Have you ever been stabbed?
Yeah. Not Maliciously, but yeah. Like, a lot.

I'd love to be brutally honest, but I can only do brief snippets at the moment (Two rambunctious kids are keeping me occupied.lol). However, I'll gladly do so in a bit, if you'd like. Really, unless you see obvious flaws, it's all you and in a sense, that's best.
yaasshat @yaasshat I get it.
Let me ask you this...
How're you hoping to come across?
yaasshat @yaasshat Really, I think it just depends on what you're truly looking for from this site. You come across very matter of fact, which isn't a bad thing, just a very cut and dry thing. Ain't gonna lie, you've got a pretty face and you can amp it up with a smile or better ambience, think the Christmas one, just add a smile. People want to feel welcome, friend or otherwise. You give a ton of info about yourself, maybe a touch to much. Mental health is something that those who get to know you will learn, but unless it's immediately pertinent, I'd avoid that. You don't want to come across as broken and needing to be fixed. This whole thing is like a resume, but it can be condensed to give a highlight of what's most important. Honestly, it's very decent compared to most, it just needs a few tweaks here and there. But, I don't have a profile (Ain't what I'm here for.), so what do I know? lol
yuuzora @yuuzora Ah, yep that makes perfect sense. Thank you kindly. I didn't realize I would come off as broken to an extent, that definitely attracts white knights... As for my pictures, I'll ask my sister about taking some better ones. I'm very bad at taking them. Like, toddlers take better pictures. I really appreciate your help. Thanks again. :)

>>This is me thinking out loud. It's dumb psychology shit, so proceed only if you want some bitter tea from a complete moron trying to fix the dead hamster in their brain. Also it's pretty personal, but whatevs, no one reads this shit. lol<<
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I have a tendency to over analyze myself when I have a falling out with someone. While it is usually a them problem for sure, it doesn't mean it isn't a me problem. I am an obnoxious perfectionist, and I am harsh with myself because I want to hold myself accountable and be the person I want to be.................................
The recurrent theme seem that I attract people a little high on the narc scale/in the dark triad. So I have to go through and figure out why? So I did reading. These are the things I know::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+I have/live with an abusive narc/sociopathic parent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ I am a deeply empathic person who has a bad habit of wanting to help before asking if someone wants help. I am actively working to fix this, but nonetheless it's a problem right now.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+I don't like to assume badly of people, so I overlook my intuition even though it's never been wrong on this stuff.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+I have crippling Imposter Syndrome, so a part of having low self-esteem, though I am ambitious as hell pining for a fiddler's soul.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+On the narc scale, I'm toward the bottom of the middle. So pretty average overall.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, looking at my About profile... I feel like I need to rewrite it. I give so much info or say too little and I know that's a problem. Which is funny because I'm a writer. So this should be easy shit, but I usually write about characters. Not myself. Hm... maybe I should write it like I am a character? It'd be a good exercise for myself either way.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Though another piece of the puzzle is I'm looking for someone so specific that maybe it's unfair. I don't think it's unrealistic, but then I'm me and maybe I have a bias that I'm not acknowledging?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, some people read this, if you are, feel free to give your opinion here. If you need to know what I'm looking for I'll answer that in PM, since it's... odd............
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I can handle brutal honesty even if I'm a sensitive potato, I care *more* about being a good person. So I work hard to do that. Thanks, my hamster is still dead though....... x.x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying I understand in a sense how you feel. I have a habit of being very soft on people (not overly soft, I can be stern) but I always speak to myself very harshly, even to the point it seems I hate myself with the way I speak to me. And you attracting narc/sociopathic people doesn't sound too off, it's like how if someone is abused when growing up they are more likely to show sime traits like their abuser OR mainly date someone with the same attitude(s), I think in that area, maybe you are subconsciously gravitating towards what you know. Even if that thing isn't necessarily good for the rest of your health/mental health, of course I'm not trying to diagnose, I'm in no position to do so, just giving my thoughts is all ^^
yuuzora @yuuzora Definitely. The person who was helping with my About page pointed out that I definitely came off as 'broken that needs fixing' which definitely attracts narcissists/dark triad sorts. I fixed it with sé's help, though. So hopefully less of that. It's why I have not left this site since I came back. Honestly it's the first social media place that isn't completely toxic. Lots of fun and nice people.
As for being harsh on yourself, it is a bad habit. I hope you're able to give yourself at least a few compliments a day. :)
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying Yeah, I'm happy you seem to be someone who doesn't mind criticism or critique, you try to hear out people and that's a breath of fresh air. I know! I am working on trying to love myself more (not to the point of being a narcissist of course lol) and just speaking to myself kinder and with some semblance of respect ^^, it's a challenge but one worth getting through I know
yuuzora @yuuzora Oh yes. I care about trying to be the person I think I am, so that means being able to recognize when work needs to be done.
You're worth the effort to loving yourself. The people around you can tell you that, all you have to do is believe them. Though admittedly that's hard than it sounds. And narcissists are only about 10% their experiences. Usually they develop naturally as they age. When we're kids, we're supposed to be self-centered, but if we don't grow out of that stage it becomes a problem in society. It's why psychologists do not diagnose psychopathy, sociopathy, etc until a person's brain is fully developed.
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying That's very admirable how aware you try to be of yourself, practicing what you preach is what I'd say I guess? I understand not wanting to appear and seem hypocritical, especially if you correct someone on an issue but then you do/practice/tolerate the same things you complain about to others in your own life. That's another thing I meant to mention is that I get overanalyzing your actions and fretting over them XD, I do the same as I try and be someone who isn't immediately biased or will assume one thing over a person vs another. -------------------------------- That makes sense that they can diagnose something when they are older. I sometimes wonder if it's not that they can't see it in a child, but it's just as you said: "When we're kids, we're supposed to be self-centered-" so if they do see narcissistic/sociopathic traits they just assume it's kids being kids? Just throwing out thoughts is all, and I would also assume the environment they grow up in can possibly help determine the way they turn out. Of course as all things work in childhood, but especially with certain conditions like those, I do begin to wonder if a bit more aid in a person's childhood could help with their sociopathy and narcissism?
yuuzora @yuuzora The practice of not diagnosing children with those disorders does have exceptions. Usually cases where a child has killed/hurt something/someone. They're rare, though. While most toddlers will have a great sense of empathy, some aren't so lucky. It can take us a while to learn to care for others because of that self-centered nature. We are, after all, the center of our own universe. Basically every kid goes through phases and being a nitty little edge lord is one of those phases. Pegging a kid with a serious disorder too quickly can actually become a bit of a Munchausen Syndrome. Basically that self fulfilling prophecy.------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A small example is one of my older nephews.(adopted oldest brother) He was on his way to becoming a sociopath. When he was about 9 he killed a cat(largely accidental). Everyone thought he was a psychopath, but I stepped in and forced him to bury the cat. As he was digging the little hole, he started crying and told me he didn't mean to. As I sat there and talked to him, it became clear(and sadly still is) that all his acting out was a cry for his dad to give him some sort of affection or validation(toxic masculinity sort of guy, though he's improved over the years of me kicking his ass). I did talk to his dad, not much came of it. But from then on, he at least had me and the rest of the family as support. With us treating him how we thought he'd turn out, was part of the problem. So when it comes to clinical diagnosis it's important to be careful in judgements until all the facts are known and the behavior isn't linked to something more. :)
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying That makes a lot of sense. Especially since most kids can pick up on things really quickly, you don't want to diagnose the kid with something and then treat them with things they don't need and then also get them thinking they do have it, especially with how trusting kids tend to be I can't imagine trying to forget and unlearn the misdiagnosis when you are older. And I'm glad you and some others were able to show some understanding towards your nephew and guide him to being a bit more empathetic, all people need (especially in the young stages of life) is some care, understanding and nurturing as we've been talking about ^^. I'm happy he got better and had some support at least
yuuzora @yuuzora Same. He became suicidal as a teen and I'm happy he thought to call me, since I was in the training phase of suicide prevention program. Now he's a big boy working as a handy man. He still wishes his dad would acknowledge him more, but he knows he's got people that love him as he is. Every kid needs just one person to believe in them, and they will go on to great things.
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying I'm happy to hear he can be honest with himself about his dad. My twin and I were just talking about how we feel some people don't truly heal because they try so hard to deny the relationship they may want with a biological family member, I think it's okay to admit you'd love to have a proper working relationship with your sister/brother/mom/dad or something, and also personally fine for you to know you can live without it. In the sense of them not returning your affections (no matter how much it can hurt) won't stop you from living your life. I'm happy he called somebody, I have people within my family that have felt suicidal before as well
yuuzora @yuuzora Hnhn. I don't think he's fully healed, but he at least has support. Yeah, suicidal thoughts are a sadly common phenomenon. While I was glad to be apart of the prevention programs, seeing its limited scope is really sobering to the work we have to curb mental health crises.
Rose Mommy ® @wei_ying As long as he has support he can overcome the rest of his process, I believe in him ^^, I do hope he can continue to grow and heal more every single day while remembering to take things slow and patiently. I hope you and anyone else assisting in suicide prevention are strengthened by the lives you save and change, that kind of work must be very tiring to handle and see everyday. I can't imagine what it'd be like to be there if a suicidal person still took their life anyway, just, thank you for your willingness and bravery to help
