It’s so! Good! I love Rice’s chess queen designs for Avanna and Daina, and I love how fun and sassy this song is despite the subject matter.

I just realized that Diana is positioned to have the crown of the queen chess piece on the poster on her head. Hmmmmmm 👀

Okay, 5 songs in one day? Nostraightanswer your on a roll today!!!

Oof yeah the idea of being stalked does sound terrifying. I’m sorry that your family has had experiences like that, that’s terrible. On a positive note though, the song is great :))

I've been listening to the full specters album ever since I got access to it from backing the Kickstarter... Believe me when I say this is one of the best songs on there! Love your work Lupin, keep it up!

Such a scary subject but it's paired with such an upbeat tempo! It's a really good juxtaposition of the fear + the power fantasy.

Hmm... If I absolutely _had_ to choose a favorite from this album, it would be this one. With Wishing Well in close second. Tied with The Dots, and Sleepless, and... Who am I kidding, I love the whole album. Especially this song. There we go, that's a better way to say it

For some reason I think that "I'm a queen then, baby" is very cool...Maybe because of "the more extreme situaion".

Wow, this tuning is fantastic...!

The song made it into the Vocalnexus Charts today! :D

Bruh I've been listening to this song over and over during the past few days. Soooo good.

I love the inspiration for the songs being included in the description. It's not that I dislike doing research on VOCALOID songs, but I've always appreciated simple explanations for artistic works.

AVANA's face screams:I really wish I weren't here right now. Also what happened to Diana's ears?

I genuinely can't stop listening to this

I absolutely love it.

I WANT TO HEAR THIS SO BAAAAAAAAAAAD

This is so awesome Lupin!! I absolutely love it and can't wait to hear the rest!!! 💞💕💞💕💞💞✨

I absolutely LOVE both Chess Queen Avanna and Daina's designs but as someone who is obsessed with clothing design I cannot figure out for the life of me if Avanna's dress+cloak is bare chested or not. I'm having strange happy feelings about if it is bc like... my nonbinary dream... I'd wanna wear that if I had no tiddy..... I'd feel strangely validated if the vague nb vibes I get from her are real

This one has to be my favorite from the album. I love them all though!

I am in the same boat. I've never been stalked, but I know people who have been. Parasocial relationships are a dangerous thing. It's part of the reason I mostly stopped online dating when I started creating content on a regular basis. I was afraid that I'd wind up getting stalked. Yet another fear Frozen in Time, and it's one of the ones that scares me the most too

Sksksksksk *WE IRRITATING*

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP (Next to Dex × Aido or Dex × Daina, of course)

Ksksksksksksksks All I need to say

I love you nostraight but I'M SO MAD THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY FUCKING MONEY TO BUY YOUR ALBUM :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
