I've kinda been fixating on lost media recently(only the songs though) and i found out about this lost vocaloid song "Lament of a Suicidal Spinster", by A. Maya. All of her songs were privated or deleted years ago, along with her social media accounts, and the only clip of her song is on a top 25 worst vocaloid songs video, so I wanted to find this song, cuz, it didn't actually sound bad.
So I got on my computer today, checked out her old youtube channel, which was completely empty,
And I check the community tab
WHAT
I WAS SHOCKED
And only two days ago too!!!
I checked it out,
She uploaded it!!
After about 10 years she's back!
I don't know why I am so excited but I was worried, what happened to her? I wanted to know if she was alright, and she explained EVERYTHING in the comments of the video!
I am actually surprised the vocaloid/lost media fandom hasn't said anything about this yet, and the youtube video only has 40 views. Please check it out, if you're a vocaloid or lost media fan, its cool. She is also uploading a remake in July!
(Also, somebody who has a Fandom account, please update the wiki, I would but I don't know how and I think i would fuck it up)

The missing Arthurian knight - rediscovered in 2019
Well the title is a slight lie - the missing knight wasn't rediscovered in 2019, it was earlier than that, but he didn't became public until 2019.
So what's this "missing knight" about? Well as the title says. There was a knight part of the Arthurian myth, and he had been missing ever since the Middle-Ages, and he was only recently rediscovered.
Or rather, to be exact - there was an Arthurian novel centered around a knight that existed and was a famous and well-known part of the Arthurian literature in the Middle-Ages, but that completely disappeared, and was forgotten by culture (as much popular culture as the scholarly one). Until very recently.
This rediscovered novel has been a hot topic of all Arthuriana fans in Europe for a few years now - and yet I do not see much talk about this onto this website, despite Tumblr being a big place for Arthurian fans?
So I will correct this by doing a series of posts about the subject. And this post will be the first one, the introduction post presenting to you "Ségurant, le chevalier au dragon" ; "Segurant, the knight of the dragon". A French medieval novel part of the Arthurian literature (hence the "chevalier au X" title structure - like Lancelot, the knight of the cart or Yvain the knight of the lion from Chrétien de Troyes), the reason this story was forgotten by all medievalist and literary scholars is - long story short - because it never existed in any full manuscript (at least none that survived to this day). It was a complete story yes, with even variations apparently, but that was cut into pieces and fragments inserted into various other manuscripts and texts (most notably various "Merlin's Prophecies").
The novel and the Knight of the Dragon were rediscovered through the work of Emanuele Arioli, who rediscovered a fragment of the story while looking at an old manuscript of a Merlin Prophecies, and then went on the hunt for the other fragments and pieces scattered around Europe, until he finally could compile the full story, that he then published in 2019, at the Belles Lettres publishing house, in 2019.
Arioli reconstructed the text, and translated it in both modern French and Italian for scholarly and professional editions (aka Honoré Champion in France, a reference for universities)...
... But also for a more "all public, found in all libraries" edition - the famous 2019 edition at Les Belles Lettres.
And not only that, but he also participated to both a comic book adaptation with Emiliano Tanzillo...
... and an adaptation as an illustrated children novel!
Finally, just a few weeks, the Franco-German channel Arte released a documentary about the reconstitution and content of this missing novel called "Le Chevalier au dragon: Le roman disparu de la Table Ronde". (The Knight of the Dragon - The missing novel of the Round Table). The full documentary is on Youtube in French for those that speak the language, here. And in German here for those who speak German.
Unfortunately there is no English version of the documentary that I know of, nor any English publications of the actual text - just French and Italian. But hey, I'll try to palliate to that by doing some English-speaking posts about this whole business!

Did you know that somewhere in the late 80s (1987-1989,) there was supposed to be one more official Care Bear cousin?
The Care Bear artist at the time “Elena Kucharik” was tasked by the “American Greetings” company to make one more Care Bear cousin, she ended up making a koala character, which had no symbol and was most likely female.
This character must have been well received because a prototype plush was made for the character,
Despite this however, the character never got to see the light of day, and was never released, it’s still unknown what happened to this toy product of the character,
However, eventually after many years the character was uncovered along with other unreleased material for many to see, including fans of the franchise,
the Care Bear related fandom taking notice of this character having no name, decided to give the new name “Glow Heart,” which much of the fandom still calls this character by.
