/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

There is a certain type of feeling associated with /hlgg/. It's very easy to respond to it like the average boring internet cynic, or to make fun of people growing attached to a place full of faceless, nameless digital entities. But in a way, indirect as it may be, it's a gathering of friends. It's much harder to point out the differences between this place and, say, having "real" friends. But then, when are people "real" to us anyway? I'd sooner trust the faceless and the nameless than those that smile to me and tell me their name, only to backstab me. Or to have the named and identified fade away into the sea of faces and names of people I don't know, like a friend collector in social media hoarding thousands of supposed friends, yet no one bothers to check if they're doing alright. Here, despite our masks, our behavior is that of true and proper friends, hard as it may be to admit or even see the similarities. Or maybe "friends" is too strong of a word for some of you that would rather keep your distance even under the protection of anonymity. "I don't take this place that seriously dude", you might think, holding up those walls. And yet... of all the corners of the internet to lurk, of all the streamers and their stories being told, of all the random faceless people to meet and share words with, you end up here time and time again.

Maybe- just MAYBE-/hlgg/ is a pretty nice place.

When it all ends, the screen will fade to black, she will go offline and will never come back. It's the same for all of them. Have fun and appreciate what you got now.

You didn't hear this from me, but Gura's "stuff" she does off stream that has her busy is all about her opening up a very small bakery she'll run by herself.

In your dreams, you can stroke her hair, have her head on your shoulder, kiss her and nibble on her lips. You can tell her how you feel, tell her she is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to you, and she will feel the same way about you. Let her know that her eyes become the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen when the sunlight hits them just at the right angle. That the way she gracefully holds her hair when the wind is a bit too strong is something angelic. When you joke around and spend hours in the kitchen munching on snacks and sharing stories and laughter, it feels as though life is worth living. That even in the tough times, when you seemingly hate each other, you can pull through and forgive one another for any harsh words exchanged. You tell her you love her. But your words echo into a void of dreams.

When you wake up, it all vanishes, and you’re pulled back into this seemingly endless nightmare. But if there’s anything to learn, it’s that what she inspired in you is a reminder of how human you are. You are not an unfeeling, uncaring man. You have love to offer, and you have the power to better yourself in ways you never thought possible. Even if you can’t have her specifically, you can at least make the world a better place, starting with you. And maybe when you wake up one day you will find yourself holding her in your arms in a different way. Not as the one you wanted, but the one you earned.
