when i see things like these i curse my skills because i can't do anything close to that lmao. I should practice more....

One would think i should have cacti-like qualities after being raised on a desert but i'm more like a misplaced plant and i actually need constant watering hoenstly i would revive after a 2 second "みんなさん、誕生日メッセージありがとうございます" and his usual "thanks for supporting me, i'll continue to work hard from now on"

this plant is very thirsty and needs its dose of Yuzu

we can't wait either

Don't forget the streaming parties and the self inflicted Mezamashi torture

no one is going to stop you from doing that we're all ruled by King Hanyu and Prime Minister Pooh

officially more than 3000 messages...

omg you have to zoom in a lot to see Japan underneath the Poohs If anyone's curious, there are 2946 messages at the time of writing this, and it keeps growing

Me:

Ha ha ha. That makes me a bit nervous lol. And yaaaay! Glad it works, i wonder why it switched to the desktop layout for you did you have it in landscape orientation?

Hmm i tried an iPhone emulator and it displays the correct layout for mobile Anyone else with an actual iPhone can check as well? The mobile layout is supposed to be the map at the top and the messages at the bottom

I have tested on Firefox and Chrome, the issue with the messages seems to be intermittent (fuck all those teachers who said "a program either works perfectly all the time, or never works, there's no "it sometimes works" in this! IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENS UGH) i suspect what the reason might be so that's why i'm closing the submissions before sending it.... Although i'm lost, idk where i should send it as in, through which channel and to whom Ideas?

Yeah, the stripe is where the messages are supposed to be displayed and it seems i have to tweak the mobile cutoff eek...

The map stops working when garbage characters make their way into the messages so i have to go and manually edit those corrupted messages eek. Hm, supposedly it detects that you are on mobile and changes the layout according to that, like this. It looks like that on my phone unless i switch to desktop site: you know the size of your phone? maybe i have to tweak the cutoff size to display the mobile layout...

Thank you although i haven't deleted the empty Poohs, i figured it might someone who is too shy to write something but still wanted to leave their Pooh

Ok so... uh... I wasn't going to do it but if i keep receiving messages i will get more garbage characters and that will be a bit difficult to manage so i'm going to close the submissions on december 6 at 6pm PST ETA: If you guys could help me tweet this so people are aware, i will really appreciate it lol

Added the messages on the right side of the site

O boy a CSS+Yuzu crossover sketch would be like... My ultimate kryptonite. The endgame. My life would be close to complete

i would probably die a thousand times if this happened. And sell a kidney to get the original print lmao

Sure it might take a bit but great idea!

Btw i want to clarify something: This isn't a "site" project because i'm the only one doing and mantaining it. I had help from various people to translate the instructions but other than that it's pretty much done by me. So don't blame the site if those messages pop up lol, i can't keep up with the huge amount of messages (there were 2165 last time i checked) to check every single one for inappropriate content. I did use the site's twitter account to promote it because the original idea of the project was from one of our members so what i'm saying is that the project was "born" here. And because everyone can join, it's hardly something from Planet Hanyu think of it as a general fan project

Hm, i've seen some overlap with Yuzu fans and kpop fans so i'm not surprised that sometimes the fandom steers that way. As for one upping eek, i have strong opinions about that but i'll just say that i hate it and as someone i've talked to said, it's not a competition about who loves him the most. We all admire and support him but going overboard to show it and try to make each project more impressive than the last one is a bit too much. I get why some people do that, but personally i'm just happy with coming up with ideas and making them happen. If they get attention that's wonderful, if they don't well , more often than not i learned something along the way (like the birthday map thing, i hated javascript. Hated hated lol. But i made peace with it and i am happy with the end result. I didn't think i would get more than 100 messages. Or the swans. It's very relaxing to fold them and i got to talk to a lot of people+practice my japanese lol) I've been in some fan projects for other stuff and they have been noticed by the person they're aimed to. When that happens, rather than being "ha!, our project got attention and yours didn't" , seeing the smile of the person and the genuine appreciation of it is way better than "winning" over another group of fans. In the end we all want to show support and i think that's just impossible to ask, but in that case, the ego should be left at the door because that kind of fanwars are what, i think, make the fandom and sometimes the admired person look bad (as in, look at what kind of crazy people they attract lol) Or maybe i'm too much of an idealist lol.

I can edit the messages but I can't look at all of them (there's over a thousand now) so if you guys find something inappropriate pm me and I'll delete/edit it please include the name of the message, and where it is located, preferably on a screenshot

I was kinda hoping he somehow stumbled upon itof course i would love it if he could see it, even if he didn't read the messages but i don't really have a plan other than mantaining it so the garbage characters are kept at bay lol
