>>43288056
I don't watch apex that much but their team is pretty good isn't it? I know Flay has motion sickness so I don't know how he'll do for sure but he seemed to be playing titanfall okay.

Thanks for the thread! I love Kageyama Shien! Jackal bossu love and sex!

>>43289108
I'm fucking stupid, I didn't realize it was just a race

Thank you for the thread! Cute boys love! Ike love!

I'm surprised the last thread got archived so quickly, but makes sense, seems like the catalog's been hectic since last night, with that Holo announcement. I hope the boys will be okay.

Goodnight, I love Kageyama Shien! I'm stuck on what to draw for his birthday next week, does anyone have any ideas? I just wanna make him smile

>>43291685
Sweet Shien dreams to you, anon. Maybe you could draw him with things you associate with him, like colors, food, games, etc.? Or you could draw him with the Stars boy you love to see him interact with. Either way, I'm sure he'd love whatever you draw, so good luck.

I know that this isn't an anime thread but if anyone wants BL crumbs then Revengers from this season is pretty good So far there's been shota x fat old bastard, gay monk rape

Looking forward to watching some old hikigatari archives of my oshi while drinking hot chocolate instead of that tourney.

>>43294137
That sounds so comfy! I hope you enjoy yourself. o/

>>43290511
I’m sure they’ll be fine anon, didn’t someone clarify that it's not full IPO? Although I don’t fully understand it, I think this is just going to affect what kind of content they’re going to put in their memberships so that more people are willing to buy it

Wow.

>>43300783
Clicking that link was the first time I've seen his model, and I'm so mad already over how cute it is because he ISN'T TALKING the only entertaining thing about this stream is how cute the model is, please give it to a better streamer TOT

>>43299371
He often shows up in Gamma's art streams and is usually there the entire time too! I haven't really seen him in any other JPs streams though, and it does make sense that he enjoys watching a fellow artist.

>>43302512
Cultured Pako enjoys paripi mangaka!

If we say hypothetically I am horny, would anyone hypothetically have good hornyposts? bonus points if they're about Shien but I'll take anything

>>43301449

>>43303111 (me)
Nevermind I'm retarded and thought the first link was Astel (Holostars JP). Carry on anon.

>>43303188
oh god no I love the seaweed he's a thousand times better than that

>>43302764
Imagine hanging out with some Holostars boys, maybe you've decided to head out to a local restaurant or bar. Either way, you're seated at a table, you and Shien on one side, and the other boys across from you. Everything's fine and going well, until you feel one of Shien's hands placed on your thigh.

You blush and he gives a snide smile, but you think nothing of it. You continue chatting, eating, and drinking away, until the hand that remained on your thigh gives it a squeeze, making you almost yelp and jump in your seat until Shien shushes you, as the others ask what's wrong. You both wave it off.

His hand gets more and more bold as the minutes pass, fingers trailing from thigh to inner thigh, to tantalizingly close to between your legs.

Whether he proceeds to rub gloved fingers over your wet spot, or takes you to the bathroom to finger-fuck you, that's up to you~

I hope this was a good enough hornypost for you ^^

>>43303466
I owe you my life

>>43303466
Shien at a bar, a bit drunk, looking at you like this...

Hi I'm supposed to be on break from this board but I MISS YOU GUYS TOO MUCH

My husband's alter ego! What wonderful Eki art, you did a great job! Everything about this oozes sex.

>>43304421
Welcome back to this thread anon

Sometimes I remember how my oshi is definitely completely money hungry, has openly said the most important thing to him is money, and also spends his money incredibly immaturely on (ridiculously expensive) clothes and anime figures, and every time I remember that I find him hotter

Ren's talking about his first con appearance!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9GCBoUiQqU

>>43300783
Oh no, did he revert to his silent ways... I know he managed to be vaguely chatty recently, and he was actually kind of enjoyable to watch for it. It's a shame... he has a lot of potential but it's just squandered.

>>43303466
Holy shit thank you so much please write more of this <3

>>43303466
I would be really happy if you can do one with Altare >.<

Does anyone have that vox boner pic? I need it for an art reference since I do not have a penis at my disposal

>>43305207
Altare's having a good stream day, he's having fun, his chat's having fun, he's all smiles. There was some scuff with the game as it was starting up, but up until he started wrapping up, things went off without a hitch... when there was a muffled noise in the distance on his end.

The chat exploded into curiosity and worry.
"Tf was that"
"altare you good ?"
"ayo..."

He laughed softly. "Don't worry, I think something like a raccoon or possum or something has taken up residence in the walls somewhere. Yeah, I heard it too, I'll go call somebody to help with that in the morning."

His calm voice soothed the worries of chat, and they all said their goodbye to him until the next stream. With a smile still on his face, he turned off his stream, and turned to face his bed.

There you were, blindfolded, arms and legs bound together, cloth in your mouth, and a vibrator pressed against your most sensitive spot. You were like this for who knows how long - minutes, hours, it could've been weeks and you'd believe it. It was agonizing, hearing Altare act as if you weren't even there, as you writhed in tortured pleasure.

He laughed again, coming closer to your side. You could feel his presence on top of you. "I'm surprised you managed to hold out that long. You did well... but not well enough." He turned the vibration setting even higher. "Beg for forgiveness."

Sorry if this wasn't to your liking, the first thought that popped into my mind was sadist Altare...

>>43305824
This one?

>>43306436
bless you

>>43306377
GOD FUCK nta but this was hot as hell

if anyone ever fancies writing Gamma I am just saying I would not complain about that

I love my cute wife (male) (son)! His last fighting ASMR was nice, it sorta felt like I was sharing an earphone alongside him! It was cute watching him get visually flustered. He closed his eyes a lot too, he’s so cute.

>>43306436
Holy fuck that’s supposed to be Vox?? For the longest time, I thought the guy in the art was Shien

>>43306831
Ooh, thanks for the reminder that I need to watch it! I love his ASMR streams because he gets so awkward about it.

>>43306377
Fuck anon thank you so much I love sadistic Altare and I have a big thing for bondage I own you my life.

>>43303924
HOLY SEX Thank you for sharing this!!
The expression, the pose is everything. I love the way you drew Eki!

>>43306377
NTA but this was amazing thank you. ToT

>>43306880
Why would you think it’s shien? The guy in the image has no tail and shien is never depicted with painted nails

>>43307588
Please understand, I’m retarded like my oshi.

>>43307588
Anon have brainrot, please andastand
t. a different Shien anon

>>43307588
To be fair to the anon, Shien does have painted nails in at least one of his outfits and gets depicted as such a decent amount (picrel), but also: yeah, no tail, I wish there were more Shien dick pictures though

>>43308019
I love this thread and the amount of jackal brainrot
t. yet another different Shien anon

>>43307588
I thought it was shien too honestly kek

>>43308082
>I wish there were more Shien dick pictures though
I don't have my tablet right now, but when I do...

>>43306635
Gamma's hips rocked to a messy rhythm, plunging himself deep inside you. Though he was tempted to close his eyes and just lose himself in all the pleasure you provided, his unsteady hands held up his phone camera. He was recording every movement, capturing every moan that escaped past your parted lips.

The phone obscured half of his face, which made you pout a bit over not being able to fully appreciate all the expressions you made him make, but you couldn't stay mad at him for too long. His sloppy thrusts became harder, faster, and you could both feel yourself reaching the peak. You came first, clenching yourself around him while you rode out the high. And the feeling of your sudden tightness made Gamma follow suit no long after, pulling out to paint a milky white scene all over your stomach.

"So-" you caught your breath, "-got everything you need?"

Gamma tilted his head. "Eh?"

"The doujin. You said you were commissioned to do a hentai doujin, and you needed the reference."

"Ah, well, that's right..." He looked down at his phone, and the freshly made video of your lovemaking session. He hesitated for a second, before looking at you with sheepish, pleading eyes. "I think I'll need more than just one video. Wanna go another round?"

You quirked an eyebrow. "Making excuses?"

"I dunno..." He sheepishly smileed. "Is it a good one?"

Hope this was alright! I didn't really know what to do for him, but I tried. ;v;

>>43308360
WAIT HOLY SHIT FUCK anon I love you thank you so much the fucking pleading eyes goddddd

>>43308360
holy fuck

>>43306377
It is shameful for me to ask with no compensation but could you write something about vox treating you extremely roughly

>>43308360
Gamma isn't even my oshi but this is hot. ToT

And on this day, a god descended upon the thread. And thus, all were made horny.

(thank you hornypost anon I LOVE YOU)

someone give me a cute indie i could reasonably literally groom

>>43309283
hornypost anon appreciation!

>>43306880
Yep, the beaded bracelet belongs to him and he took a picture of his underwear when he was doing a Sekiro stream, same one as in the drawing. One of the best streams ever because he said it felt so intimate since he was naked.

>>43309318
Hi

>>43308603
Vox wanted to treat you to whatever you wanted in bed. Of course, there were limitations you both had, but within the confines of your own boundaries, he did his best to accomdate for any of your bedroom needs. While he was no stranger to a quickie or two, or a night of intense sex, he still tried to reign himself in. He treated you like you were his everything, and it was lovely, but you also yearned for something... more.

You asked him to be particularly rough with you tonight, to not hold himself back, and it took some convincing. He didn't want to cause any major harm to you, and triple-checked to make sure you were alright with it.

"Vox, dear, I want you to make it hurt."

Ah. Well, when you put it like that, how could he not oblige? It's almost as if something inside him snapped. Maybe he was waiting for tis moment. Maybe after all these years, he needed something to let out some of his frustrations, and you were the perect excuse. It's like his demeanor instantly changed.

"On your hands and knees. Now."

You went to follow his orders, his tone telling you that it was a command, not a suggestion, but he didn't even give you time to do that, taking matters into his own hands and flipping you into that position himself. Without warning, he sunk into you, impaling you with his length, a deep gutteral growl emitting from his throat.

"Fuck, already so wet, huh? Like being treated like a slut?"

You whimpered from the sudden fullness, but two fingers inserted themselves into your mouth, and you proceeded to suck on them. "Right, sluts don't get to talk. Keep sucking."

Your tongue swirled around his digits, while he went at an impossibly crruel pace. Vox slammed his hips against yours, pounding into you with reckless abandon. He could feel you trembling underneath him, could feel your moans around his fingers. Your limbs couldn't take it, you lied flat on the rocking bed, hand gripping the bedsheet for dear life.

"That's it. That's my girl. Just lie there and take my cock."

He was being so mean, but it felt so, so good.

[spoiler[I hope this is what you had in mind! And absolutely no worries at all, I don't expect any compensation, I just like making people happy.[/spoiler]

>>43310152 (me)
I messed up the spoiler... That's what I get for using all of my brain power on smut at almost midnight.

>>43310240
I know you did quite a lot already with other oshis and it’s midnight, but please anon if you have the time, I really want an Arunii hornypost. I prefer if he was the bottom, but i’ll take which ever.

>>43310152
Hornypost anon I love you ToT

>>43310152
AHHHH oh my god I'm not that anon but JEZAS this sounds exactly like something Vox would do/say this is so perfect YOU are so perfect!!!! I'm not much into rough stuff but I love having fingers in my mouth this is so great I love you thank you for this and for the other hornyposts!!! If you want me to doodle your oshi while I still have my tablet on feel free to let me know!!!!!

>>43310152
Jesus christ how did you know I loved finger sucking thank you so so so much my heart raced reading that

>>43310152
Just fucking please let me grab his hands and guide them to my throat so he can choke me. The more aggresive he gets the happier I am.

>>43310627
You had just gotten home from finishing some errands when you found Aruran fast asleep on a couch. He seemed perfectly content, arm under his head, eyes fluttered shut. You put away some food when you heard him mumbling in his sleep, most likely sleep-talking. You couldn't make out what he was saying, but you laughed to yourself anyways as he continued mumbling nonsense.

You also noticed him turning and shifting. Your thought process began to wonder if he was having a nightmare instead. He didn't seem to be in any real distress, but quietly, you went up to him, trying to see if you should wake him up or not.

To your surprise, he was having the opposite of a nightmare, noticing the bulge that had begun to show itself in his pants. You chuckled quietly again, shaking your head at him. You really didn't wanna disturb him now, but you also felt like this opportunity rarely comes to you.

Sneaking closer and closer, you kneel down and get a good look. He was definitely hard alright, fully erect and ready. It's like you couldn't stop yourself, you tugged down his pants and let your impulsiveness win. You freed his member carefully, with relative ease. Aruran stirred slightly, thank goodness your sudden actions haven't snapped him completely awake yet.

You climbed on the couch, straddling his legs with his hard-on pressed against your stomach. You teased his head, circling your finger around it lightly. Now he was definitely finding out something's up, and not just his dick.

"Oh, you..." His bleary half-lidded eyes looked at you with slight confusion, "w-what're you..."

"Shh," you shushed him, holding a finger over his lips. "Stay there and just let me take care of you."

Aruran tried to say something, maybe he believed this was all still some sort of dream, but he was too groggy to realize or protest, and the way his dick throbbed when exposed to your touch, and already sticky and dripping with precum, perhaps he didn't even want you to stop in the first place. His hips bucked needily, yearning for your touch. And you were eager to indulge, stroking his length up and down, pumping it slow and steady.

He almost made a noise, a moan welling up inside him, but he suppressed it, whining and continuing to stir and let his body show how he felt. He was at your mercy, his head thrown back into the pillow and mouth hanging open.

Sorry this turned out kinda long, but I hope this is sufficient enough!

Thank you all so much for the kind comments! I think I've only done this kind of thing once before, it was a bit embarrassing, but all the nice feedback really helps. I like this thread and I like making people happy, so it's a win-win for me!

And it's fine, really, as I said, I don't expect anything in return. I'm just glad my silly little smut can be enjoyed by others.

I'm not sure what else to say other than thank you again, and have a good day/afternoon/evening wherever you are!

Hello /cbdct/, how's it going.

I failed to convince my indie vtuber to become a unicorn despite having a favorable outlook by giving him a positive introduction explaining what it is and why, associating it with a existing vtuber he likes, and also personally being liked by him.

Why is he streaming earlier than usual dammit Luca go back to your regular time slot. The hardship of being a unitychad....

>>43344558
I wouldn't worry too much, I think he'll be pushing the stream back because one of the girls is having an outfit reveal at around the same time

>>43341079
Only moth, but I've seen some cute designs

>>43294911
Can anybody explain what does the whole IPO thing means like I'm 5?

>>43347202
yagoo doesn't technically own the whole company any more, dunno how much he's sold but I doubt it's enough that he'll have no power, but means that shareholders will have more of a say on what the company does so there might be more pressure on the talents to perform, really we'll not know the full effects until we see it play out though

>>43347289
Given all the previous times I've seen shareholders act on the sidelines, I'm doubtful that things will take a turn for the better.

>>43347352
Yeah, it kind of fucked over Niji a lot, so I'm just hoping yagoo saw that happen and knows what he's doing

>>43347289
I see, thank you for the explanation!

>>43347289 (me)
The only OBVIOUS difference so far is the stars have mentioned they've been told to increase the number of people buying membership, hence why e.g. Shien (my oshi, so using him as the example I know best) went from limited menshi content and a variety of tiers, to one all-encompassing tier that was slightly more expensive than his original base tier, but has promised more stuff to menshi like BFE ASMR and members-only karaoke archives so far. Basically, there'll likely be more stuff paywalled. Other than that, the only thing I've seen Stars-wise is seaweed having a freakout about it, but (I love astel dearly) that's not really that unusual anyway. There's definitely potential for it to go quite badly if, like Niji, there's a lot of shareholder pressure to do stuff the talents don't want to do, but as I say we'll just have to see how it plays out in the longer term to know how it's likely to affect the boys

>>43347919
>slightly more expensive
It's quite a lot for someone like me. I'm not angry at him though.
Anyway, I wonder if the whole change have anything to do with starsjp not having any valentine merchs this year or that's just management being dumb. (I personally don't buy merchs but I saw a lot of people being disappointed from that)

>>43347289
>but means that shareholders will have more of a say on what the company does
that's not how shareholders work and cover is selling less than 1% of their stocks. stop fearmongering about things you don't understand. this isn't like a startup receiving direct funding from individual investors.

>>43370161
lmao they literally said they didn't how much they sold, didn't think they'd have sold enough to make a difference, and "more of a say" doesn't equal "life-changing company-breaking" it can just mean "has the ability to express opinions if they want", not really fearmongering to say it means that and that's why people are worried but we just have to see?

>>43369695
who's the other one I only knew about arunii? Although I've only heard about him and her communicating through specifically WIM production stuff

If I buy enough stocks could I force cover to give me my oshi for personal use?

>>43372336
Wasnt a lot of cover already owned by outside investors from the start anyway? I remember this being kind of an issue back when cover was having a lot of problems with china.

Jester answered a question about his oshi on his membership stream and although he did say that he DOESN’T have an oshi and he respects the JP stars, he did say that he got inspired by her to do VTubing in general. I guess without her, we wouldn’t have him, but still. It upsets me that they like her, but she doesn’t do as much to support the stars in general.

>Wasnt a lot of cover already owned by outside investors from the start anyway?
no? they've never been available for international stock ownership. they've only ever been listed on domestic exchanges.

>>43374098
Just because a company is not public (listed on public stock exchanges) doesn't mean it isn't owned by many different owners. Most companies have lots of investors from the beginning that own a pretty large percentage of the stock in the company.

>>43374809
>Most companies have lots of investors from the beginning that own a pretty large percentage of the stock in the company.
and if that were the case they would also have been exerting control since the beginning. this IPO won't change any of this.

>>43335500
Grooming fail moment. Pick someone more groomable next time.

>>43374964
I think yagoo still owned the majority share. But depending on how the corporation is set up the other investors might still have some power do influence how things are done within the business. I do remember hearing stories from back in the day when cover had a Chinese branch that the company's board was part of why Cover handled the Taiwan situation so strangely at the time.

I doubt this new stock offering will change much. But the one thing this IPO will change is that it will have to publicly report on a lot of cover's financial numbers. Which is kind of cool to be honest from an outsiders perspective.

>>43378327
I'd actually really like to see the financial reports, weirdly

>>43377728
At that point only 1% of vtubers are groomable.

Goodnight, I love Kageyama Shien! He's so stupid, have the obligatory "my oshi is stupid" greentext because I adore him!

>Used to walk around town wearing pikachu underwear and no pants, because he thought they were shorts
>Set his twitter account's birthdate to his Holostars debut date, got banned for months as a result. This led to him being known as a baby by the rest of the Holostars.
>Once accidentally hijacked the Holostars youtube account and started streaming on it, thinking that it was his own account, and it took him 15 minutes to realize what was going on when his manager messaged him on discord in a panic
>During Sora's birthday stream, when every other holo from every branch stopped streaming, Shien started a horror game stream where he clipped a peg on his face every time he got startled and had to stop the stream because he was in too much pain
>Did a cooking stream on his vertically filming unsecured phone and ended up recording his feet, got chewed out publicly by his manager and had to delete the VOD. Decided it would still be a good idea to upload it to Twitcast later that night anyways.
>Has a crippling ass fetish
>Sang 'nigga' twice in GTAV despite his chat warning him well in advance he probably shouldn't say it
>Once did a DDLC stream where he voiced all the female characters' lines in the highest pitch he could, ended up wearing out his throat and he couldn't stream the next day (he didn't learn his lesson, and did another voice acted DDLC stream later that week)
>Once electrically massaged himself to the point of ejaculation on stream
https://streamable.com/4f5d14
>Formed a team to join a serious Vtuber APEX tournament filled with Diamond and Master players, on the condition that everyone in his team use controllers to play. They were last place with no kills.
>Fled an anime convention after a girl cornered him and ranted the entirety of The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku at him, leaving an enduring emotional scar
>Made the committee of the first Vtuber Apex tourney restart because he couldn't get in.
>Later was joined by some chump named Kawase and Pikamee in the tournament afterparty. Kawase gave most of his equipment to him and was only allowed to go all out when bossu sacrificed himself as a summoning catalyst to provide Kawase with the Mastiff. Kawase then got champion within 10 minutes of Shien's sacrifice.
>Had technical problems which caused him to stream during Sora's birthday stream since he streamed an hour late from the original schedule.
>roommate wanted to post a screenshot of a funny post he saw on twitter, but he screenshotted the post on his SHIEN twitter. Post stayed up for 4 months until someone on 5ch pointed it out and the post was deleted 5 minutes later.
>In the Among Us collab with all the Holostars, he killed Rikka in front of everyone in the first game and then when called up, he denied it. In the end he was ejected and after that game, everyone decided to kill him as soon as possible because he's always a sus.
>Faced off against WoolieVS as his first online opponent during the Guilty Gear Strive beta period and won 2-0
>Once posted the thumbnail picture of Korone's 2nd anniversary stream on his twitter without any caption. This was later deleted.
>Upon hitting the legal age of drinking, he went to an izakaya where he drank multiple cups of Kahlua milk despite being both low tolerance and lactose intolerant. He ended up getting sick to the point of throwing up blood.
>Mentioned during his debut that one of his goals was to have his washlet fixed. After one year, multiple scoldings from Oga, and a red superchat from his illustrator asking him to have it fixed, Shien's washlet remains unfixed and he has mentioned being used to the feeling of "being attacked by a hydrocannon"
>Attempted to prank his viewers at the start of his 2.0 reveal stream only to find out he was muted. His 2nd attempt of his prank had his live2D model freeze onscreen instead
>Once farted in an elevator then immediately loudly exclaimed "It's not what you think!"
>Spent an hour and 30 minutes in Slither.io moaning loudly with the echo on whenever he scored a kill. He was neither banned nor demonetized for this stream
https://streamable.com/z6hye7
>While playing around with Home3D accessories on Halloween, he mistakenly spawned the candy aura accessory right on his crotch. He later asked his audience if they wanted to lick his candy and focused the camera on it.
>During his first FGO stream, his luck was so terrible that he resorted to a number of rituals in order to get the rate up character he wanted, such as pressing the pull button with his nipples(once with the left one and once with the right one). None of them worked, and he hit the pity roll to get her.

I hate how the boys shill the squid's 3D but when the boys get their 3D showcase I'll be only a handful of the females would even mention them. Not that I would want their audience even looking at the stars but I just hate how they get girls that never even mention the boys.

>>43387987
And you just know that if the boys did the same, and not mention the girls' 3D showcases, they'd get flamed for not respecting them, or not caring. It sucks... But, at least it shows how kind they are.

>>43418444
yeah. Ike showed up in Millie‘s chat and she started chanting „I want to fuck Ike Eveland“ or something like that. the girls get away with shit like that but god forbid any of the guys say something remotely vulgar to the girls

>>43433378
Its because attraction towards a "submissive" person is seen as gross.
For example, posts about loving muscular girls are more common than they should be. This is because voicing attraction towards them isn't creepy, since they're assumed to be the dominant one.

I've had to rewrite this post a few times, not sure if it makes sense.

>>43433378
Calling a woman beautiful or making a suggestive statement to a woman is just restating what the cultural ego already wants you think about women. They're treasures to be hunted and fought over by men. Stating out loud that you like or desire that woman is creepy because you're just stating out loud what you're supposed to already think.

Men don't get the same privileged position in society. Men, as a rule, are brutish and mean and not valued as highly by society. So any sexual harassment is basically just a compliment in the cultural mindset.

So yeah, basically.

>>43444084
>>43444542
I'm archiving both Bettel's and Doppio's.

This was my very first membership stream I've ever watched and I enjoyed it so much! Flayon was so cute throughout the entire stream and I loved his jokes during the movie! I can't believe he actually cried during the fight scene but honestly who doesn't cry at that scene no matter what your age. I love how he kept rambling on even after the movie, he's so cute when he goes on and on like that and gets even more nerdy! Flayon is so cute and so perfect, I love him so much! We get so much membership content too, good use of my money. I'm looking forward to this cute mecha boy's streams this week!

So, for his birthday, Tanoshiba sang 100 songs and the whole stream took him 8 hours. So nice of him to feed his viewers with so much karaoke.

>>43436379
his voice during the stream too... I love cute boys!

I love my cute husband so much ToT

>>43451122
Are you actually serious? I watched Rio's stream where he sang until he got to a new sub milestone and I thought that was amazing enough, I didn't think anyone else could have that kind of stamina too. Damn, huge kudos to him for singing that many songs for such a long time.

>>43452115
And then... there's Astel Leda...

>>43452201
I'm......new to watching Astel.....wh-what did he do?

>>43452576
He did a 24 hour karaoke stream

>>43452613
Jeezas that's impressive.

I'm so turned on by money-hungry male chuubas... why... bonus horniness for if they spend their money super irresponsibly on expensive food and clothes and unnecessary stuff like figures

>>43453423
>tfw my oshi only ever deposits my donos into his 401k

>>43453506
my oshi spends hundreds of thousands of yen on clothes, eats out constantly, and has a gunpla and gacha addiction, and said money was the most important thing in his life, and I find all of that the hottest thing ever for some dumb reason

>>43452576
Did a legendary unarchived 24 hour karaoke stream (back when they were all still allowed to sing disney in unarchived streams) on christmas back in 2020. He also used to do 6+ hour long karaoke streams but stopped sometime last year

>>43453423
My oshi gets a lot of money because everyone's genuinely concerned about his living conditions, his apartment fucking sucks, he'll casually drop shit like "oh yeah I don't have any spoons" and he just orders Ubereats constantly because he can't cook for shit. His setup sucks. His PC is on the brink. His mic is worth shit all. And we've yet to see the money make any real difference. The day he gets a new apartment is genuinely gonna be a celebration.

He has spoons now though. That's progress.

>>43453423
Although he doesn’t spend a lot since he doesn’t have that much money in the first place, he did indeed spent his money on something somewhat dumb.

>My retarded Italian spent 4 futons for Gen 1 when they ALL come over to his house for a collab, (Still hasn’t happened) when he could’ve used that money to get a couch

>>43454167
I’m going to guess this is referring to either roberu or gamma

>>43454058
Didn't he do a 8 hours karaoke for New Years like 2 months ago?

>>43454167
please, anon's oshi, spoons are one of life's luxuries

>>43454480
why does your oshi not have a couch
my oshi bought a fairly expensive laptop so he can do off collabs in the kitchen or the living room, which has also not happened... holostars please, I beg you, visit each other you socially inept weirdos

>>43454645
He did but that one also doubles as a “until x milestone” karaoke stream. I guess I should have specified that he no longer does long karaoke streams as frequently as he used to

>>43454632
I could’ve sworn that Magni also mentioned that he doesn’t have spoons too… why is this such a common thing?

>>43454632
I do remember ganchan being bullied into buying a mic worth literally anything in a Starzatsu! Which is valid, because my mic cost more than ganchan's, and I'm not exactly a corpo vtuber here

hands up if your oshi is a big slut burger

>>43455308
yes, it's irresistibly cute when he's slutty with his boys...

>>43455112
He definitely said on at least two occasions that he has no spoons.

>>43455308
I'm sure one can easily mind break my oshi into becoming a big slut but he's not american.

>>43453423
I might be able to agree if I wasn't barely able to get by myself.
imo being money-hungry is ok as long as they don't completely ignore fans who don't/can't give them monetary support.

>>43455013
>why does your oshi not have a couch
Anon, this is my RETARDED oshi we’re talking about. I honestly, do not know. The only thing I can guess is that he doesn’t have time right now to buy one

>>43454632
Yeah, it's Gamma. He's out here with an ¥8000 mic and ¥130K PC, and an apartment that routinely tries to murder him. The stress his assistants are under trying to get him to make a single good life decision...

>>43456278
anon... my oshi has spent more on a single item of clothing than your oshi's entire pc...

>>43456215
I'm not sure I've seen any male chuubas who actively ignore their broke fans thankfully, at least not in corpo, definitely a lot of the females do though

>>43456215
Bukaschizo I know this is you, stop acting like shien actively ignores poorfags when he regularly picks out comments from greynames to react to during streams

>>43456421
He keeps saying he'll get a new one off Mercari if the stars align... I am genuinely begging his senpai to make good on their threats and force a new setup onto him.

He's so fucking helpless it's kinda hot though. I wanna take care of him...

>>43456774
bukanonschizo here, I'm not a greyname and haven't been for a while but Shien's genuine connection to chat and how much attention he pays to his fans regardless of who they are (including the effort to kaigainikis) is half of why I started falling for him to begin with

the man is horny as hell for money, but I respect him for it because he works hard as fuck to get it (and honestly it's kinda hot), and I would never once think of him as "ignoring" poor fans: he's just good to his fans in general, I really admire him and am proud of his dedication

>>43456774
I'm that bukaschizo and I wasn't talking about him in particular and don't have anything against him at this moment.
I agree with what >>43457291 have said. If anything I'm the one to blame, not him.
I'll try harder to keep my schizo under control.

>>43456964
mangaka needs correction!

>>43455308
Not a burger but he was spitroasted last night. That works, right?

Sometimes I wish Bettel and his mama would stop interacting with each other. I know she is just his mama, but I get so jealous every time I see their interactions. She is so cute and always in his chat and when he gives her attention, I wish that were me. Im so jealous im so jealous im so jealous i want her to die

>>43453423
My stupid whore of an oshi is the latter, he has said how only one person fits on his streaming room and that's why he can't do off collabs, he constantly buys figures and gunplas having one big closet for them, for a long time he choosed buying more figures and gacha instead of a bigger place but thankfully it seems he's changed and wants to get a better home now.

a reminder that teeth

>>43458186
That reminds me, are mamas safe o interact? I mean they drew them.

>>43458186
if you kill his mama you never get new outfits though... also, obligatory "murder bad"

>>43458292

I will worship namakawa mama to the grave, she's an artistic genius and she wants Shien to fix his washlet so he stops getting a water cannon to the ass

They are supposed to be safe to interact with and I will always be thankful to them for blessing my oshi with a very handsome avatar. I don't know I just get a terrible feeling everytime I see Bettel and his mama talk to each other, she is acting like a fangirl like me and he acknowledges her. I know that it's stupid to be jealous of a mother, just maybe do not chat too much with your mama.

They can always get a replacement artist to draw their new outfits. Some already did when their mamas were too busy.

Ganchan needs to stop idolising Roberu to the point of living in absolute dogshit conditions and thinking it's normal. If not for yourself Roberu then at least think of your lil kouhai... Do it for him... be a good role model for once...

I NEED TO MARRY GAVIS BETTEL

Oh, to take Roberu on a shopping trip. Taking him by the hand, running into stores and pointing at random house supplies. Grocery shop date…

Probably the appeal of wanting to spoil a cute boy and having them depend on you. I think I see why sugar daddies have a thing for what they do now.
