    First of all, honestly only really comenting because of the really low amount of coments/kudos on this fic (and all your fics in general) BECAUSE LIKE HOW?????????
    Not to get all parasocial in the ao3 comment section or anything but you're like honestly probably my favorite author in the whole Vocaloid Fandom tag and you deserve more praise for it.

    First of all your characterization/world building is honestly right up my ally, I love works that still portray them as vocaloids (Even if I really like most vocaloid fics tbh, I'm kinda obsessed) and the way you sorta divide them up by which companies made them is what I used to do a lot when I was making stories with them before.

    And your writing style/the general type of stories you write is something I also really like. It's really comedic but still allows itself be taken seriously. I don't have any other words for it really then that it's very engaging. You're the first author I sat down to read a one-shot from (I only read multi-chapter fics before) because I honestly just wanted to read more things from you.

    Your use of more obscure characters also makes me really happy, like Cocorobo???? In my 2025??? (I know she's from camp lily but still, Cocorobo?? In my 2021????). And also Luna??? (I've not re-read this, so my memory from last-last time you've updated is a bit vauge- But in my mind I was 100% certain it was going to be Gakupo for some reason) I've never really been that far into Lily lore for Anim.o.v.e but honestly, your inclusion of them at all just really speaks to how much these characters mean (or have meant) to you.
    I honestly get really excited when someone new is mentioned (Even if it's just in passing).

    I'm not good at expressing myself through text so I hope I got most of it through.
    It's also probably not a big deal but it's honestly just kinda discouraging to see how little engagement your fics get (Maybe not for you, but for me atleast) (If I had an account before I would have probably at least bookmarked them or something, Idrk how ao3 works).

    Anyways, TLDR: Your fics make me happy and I will now return to waiting patiently for as long as your next updates take. (If at all, no pressure)

      That means so much to hear! Thank so you so much for saying that! I really enjoy writing vocaloid fanfictions and I'd love to get back to doing it more frequently. I just have to manage time better. I know it's taken quite a while, but I'm determined to finish this one eventually!

      And thank you for noticing how partial I am toward lesser known characters. I have a habit of gravitating toward them. There's a certain sense of freedom that comes with writing for them and establishing dynamics that aren't frequently thought about. I can't imagine too many people have thought about having Cocorobo become Lily's maid, for one. It's a lot of fun. I also love Lily and the whole history of anim.o.v.e, so I was eager to incorporate it. Luna needs more love.

      And again, I really appreciate all the kind words! Even if these fics don't get that much engagement, it's worth it to hear from the people who do read them. The knowledge that someone out there is enjoying this is enough for me to keep at it. Especially for fans of characters like Lily who don't have a lot of content to turn to in the first place. I happen to be one of them so I often just go "Well, might as well make it myself." But yeah, thank you so much for reading and I'm super glad you enjoy what I write! It means the world to hear it.
