Well, I don't see them as a family like daughter/son etc
Rather like family in terms of collaboration
But of course, I'd be sad if something was happening to them *tends to humanize things too much* Like once, my computer made a weird stuff and this day I went totally mad because I was scared to lose their VBs and so, thhat the'd "die"... Thankfully it just deplaced everything so they were safe like the rest of my documents
And when they don't sing good, I don't really blame on them (maybe once I blamed Kotoko for going oujo at me but well, that's because I recorded her with this tone so it's rather my fault than her's OTL) and I rather blame myself for being a bad tuner
That's incredible to be so much tied to a singing software owo The fact they use my voice or that 4Ive created them may influe a lot in the process... And well, I cannot deny all those experiences I've gone through with them...
And for the oens who would be like "LOL AFTER ALL THEY'RE JUST ROBOTS/WHATEVUR LOLOLOL" well sorry but I cannot help it, I consider them the same as living beings because of this kind of connection... Heck, it's like asking me why I get intuitions sometimes... I cannot explain it, I live with it, and my UTAUloids are the same thing as intuitions
