Post your country's exemplary Mikus

[tsugumi]

For those still unaware: there's a [x] nationality Miku art meme that's all the rage at the moment, kicked off by Brazilian Miku. Indeed, now that all that all the nationalities have been done many times over, people have been forced to become even more specific and localised, producing some excellent results. I thought we should have a place to share these on notably international Beast's Lair.

While I can't post some of the more popular Australian Mikus because they make me want to kill myself (proving that they truly are Australian Mikus), there are exceptions. Let's begin with my personal favourite:

I grew up staring at a print of six of Sidney Nolan's Ned Kelly paintings, so anything that riffs on it automatically finds a place deep within my heart.

cue several hundred No Hat No Play replies in the comments

Pre-dates the craze, but no better time to bring it back

Finally: because I do possess an American citizenship and lived there for four years, I'm giving myself the right to share this:

[Ratman]

Extremely content with mine honestly. The duality of western slavs:

"The Czech Miku drinks when she is happy, the Slovak Miku drinks to be happy."

The only thing missing is a döner kebab in her hand.

[Ratman]

There's a whole bunch of German mikus. Kebab included in the package.



I like the implication that Köln Miku is poor but actually happy, whereas Berlin Miku is permanently depressed.

Beautiful, even with curry sausage.

[tsugumi]

I'm actually shocked I haven't seen an Australian Miku with a kebab, but everyone keeps opting for more traditional, iconic food, like the sausage wrapped in a slice of bread with tomato sauce on top.

I love for my country to be responsible for shit like this.

Also, that miku is a specific type of girl from the southeast region, though you could easily find her anywhere north of Parana, or anywhere really. There are other kinds, but that's a good nationwide compromise.

Ever since the bauhaus, art students look the same everywhere. Some can really work the style, tho

[tsugumi]

It's genuinely something to be proud of; Australian high school Miku didn't kick this off after all. Brazil clearly resonates.

I've seen 2, Canadian Miku:

And Quebecois Miku:

Is quebec not part of canada?

[tsugumi]

Quebecois Mikus have an incredible advantage on account of being able to call themselves Habsune Mikus

Is quebec not part of canada?

Depends on who you ask!

A friend sent me this remarkable specimen, and now I've been on the lookout for the Great Canadian Miku. Let's dive in...

Representing first, of course, my home, with about as British Columbian a Miku as you could possibly ask for (let's pretend the North and the interior don't exist, it's better that way).

Moving on to my adopted home in Canada, we're getting extra specific now. Real ones will understand.

Now my reluctantly current home. If you look up "Toronto Miku" mostly it's [insert your favourite ethnic stereotype here] so here's one that represents a truly universal city struggle.

And speaking of universal struggles, here is the Miku who represents in all Her glory the plight of the Canadian Youth. Except this one I think is a particular age range (late 20s/early 30s) because I don't really hear younger people talking about No Name. They're too busy spending their money on DoorDashed Starbucks and Pizza Pizza.

Ending with my favourite Miku. Yet another Montrealer (other Quebecoise do not get as much or any representation, sorry).

[Ideofago]

I like that one that can't afford a house. Great dominion of shape.

[Kotonoha]

Yeah sure I'll dox myself via Mikus.

Many of the other Canadian Mikus contain overt references to how it is SOOOOO cold so I appreciate the subtlety of this one wrt the attire vs the background.

Spoiler:

After that urban Miku we have a Miku expressing the lament of the rural youth.

Spoiler:

Miku if she was my uncle.

Spoiler:

I thought this one was a bit generic until I saw the basketball shorts and mukluks combo and knew she was one of us.

Spoiler:

This one gets right to the point.

Spoiler:

Anyway not to be outdone I made one as well.

Spoiler:

[tsugumi]

are there more canadians than americans on this website at present?

good job if so

[Mattias]

Wait Koto, are you guys who I thank for honey dill?! I love that shit. I thought it was an east coast thing, since I've only found it in places from Newfoundland.

[Strange_One]

hum

[Ratman]

I have in fact been collecting quebecois mikus to repeatedly tag My Girlfriend Who Lives in Canada with them, so there are quite a few here.
