another shallow reason to put off suicide

>>935156
holoEN convinced me to learn Live2D to get commissions from suckers who think they can become streamers

>>935156
Finally got me motivated enough to learn moon

made me grind Japanese harder
made me want to play guitar again (sad I know)
cured my lolicon and made interested in sexually frustrated 30-something women who pretend to be dogs and lions on the internet

She's been getting me up bright and early to catch her streams.
I'm always going to bed at a reasonable hour since I started watching her.

>>935156
Mori got me to start my reps again, starting with moving to a better apartment.

Fucking this. Made $3500 so far, I have no hope for those people making it on the industry but once I deliver the rig it has nothing to do with me.

now I no long pracis english becaws I beliebe am Haachama!

>Destroyed my sleep schedule, messing with diet(too lazy/tired to cook) distracting me from my job and relationships, spending on merch, constantly sad when not watching a live stream, no desire for physical contact or fapping
But at least I started learning Japanese

It made me delete my Duolingo account because I'm so sick of them doing language learning streams with it

>>935156
They ruined my fucking life, I declined a job offer interview because I wanted to watch the EN debuts with /jp/

They indirectly save my life. My shoulder was injured and I got fired from my job. Lock down came And I sit at home waiting for landlord to kick me out. Then I discovered Mikoti, addicted to her, search for fan arts and happened to know I can earn money by drawing.I bought an old drawing tablet that cost 35$ and started drawing. For now I earn enough to pay rent and eat cheap food but I survive and have fun.

>>935156
Mori honestly got me back into music production, after a couple years not touching it and literally hundreds earnestly payfagged into software and plugins that I likewise haven't been touching despite the investment into it

>>935861
Post pixiv/patreon pls

>>935905
I don't post my identity in 4chan anon.

>>935156
unironically cured my sexist nature and made me realize girls are just us but are able to use our simple minded nature against us in the form of sexuality

Well...they got me to start playing freaking Apex. I may just end up taking an instrument and practice singing because of vtubers (That 48 hour AZKi stream of original vtuber music was inspiring asf).

>>935156
They made me realize that I'm not okay with being alone, which hurt at first, but is a good thing in the long term.

I had resigned myself to thinking there is no one out there who's company I would enjoy, as a life partner or even just a friend. I stared watching vtubers because I thought their antics were funny and their cute avatars make them very inoffensive to the eye, but after a while my heart started to change. The degree of separation provided by an anime avatar made it possible for me to set aside my usual presuppositions about having feelings or caring for another living person. Over time my bitterness started to fade because now I understand. The girls we watch are playing a character, but anyone who has ever played a character even for a game knows that you put something of yourself into it, so it's not too crazy to say we still know something about their personalities. What they like, how they feel about things, what makes them laugh and what makes them cry. Every person is like an iceberg where we can only see the top, and with a character you're essentially seeing that top bit with a heavy filter on it; though, in spite of that I'd like to think I'm the type of guy who can get a decent idea what type of fire is burning when he smells smoke. She has so much heart and when I see it I can't help but love her. It doesn't even have to be my oshi. Any one of us probably has hoards of people out there who would be a great romantic partner, it's just a matter of meeting them and managing to make the connection.

I've been doing so much more for myself than I used to. If you've given up on socialization and romance there's no reason to do your self care reps, but now I have at least a little bit of a fuck to give.

...and since I've already blogposted so goddamn hard, here's the moment when my old, cold, bitter heart cracked open and became soft again.

Had been lapsed at learning JP for months. After being intrigued by Pika and then getting sucked into Hololive, I’ve felt pretty motivated to stay on top of my studies for a change. Probably won’t achieve it, but aiming for N3 by end of year.

>>935156
I support the country of Taiwan and their independence.

A vtuber made my wife leave me

>>935861
do you have formal education in arts or something? how the fuck did you almost immediately become able to provide for yourself from art alone?

>>935216
>>935617
Prices?

>>936603
>If you've given up on socialization and romance there's no reason to do your self care reps
I guess it depends on the person, I do not involve myself in friendships or romance nor do I plan to but I have taken steps to better my own position in life over the past months.

>>937031
You're definitely right, but that's the excuse I was using. Now that I'm in even slightly better health I can see the benefits of maintaining it even if I do end up staying alone.

Made me spend less on gacha games which is great. Memberships and superchats are way cheaper.

Kiara kicked my ass into picking up learning German after dropping it in frustration

>>936755
I love drawing and trained a little when i was a kid but my country basically treat arts like trash so I dropped it when I started to work. Also I got an online friend who introduce me to sell my art. It was existing skill + connection. Plus cost of living is cheap here.

>>937124
May i ask what the point in learning German is? As far as I know their media production is much much lower than say Japan or Latin America's

TAKANASHI KIARA
LETS MAKE HER CRY AGAIN
Pic related is her having a mental breakdown after her first dox
I wanna see that again.

Here is a video with eng subs of 15 year old Kiara saying she feels WORTHLESS after she has been RAPED and got FIRED from her Idol job:
https://youtu.be/KRGRm8vFY6Q

She was sexually harassed for over a month but the stupid greedy bitch wanted to keep her job.
She had it coming, dress more modest slut.

Here is her Twitter: https://twitter.com/keekihimedesu

Dear Antis, greet that whore for me! Make sure to send her friendly messages so she can enjoy her trip home.

Last year I was hospitalised for multiple months, watching vtubers was the only thing that helped me stave off boredom. It also motivated me to finally start learning Japanese, which I had been promising myself I'd do for years.

>>935156
I had a wet dream about Risu and woke up to a fucking fountain unleashing in my underwear. It was the longest lasting orgasm I ever had.

Got me to start my moon reps again.

>>937925
holy fuckamoly, kill yourself you obsessed retard

>>935585
>cured my lolicon and made interested in sexually frustrated 30-something women who pretend to be dogs and lions on the internet
Oh my god this. Actually getting some personality from this age group and not just workplace drama has been eye opening

>>937907
Not the anon you were replying to, but I'll field this one. Germany is one of the most central countries in Europe. A lot of international business and government is conducted in German. If you want to learn a language for just general usage on a global scale, German is probably your third best choice after English and Chinese.

...and Chinese is abstract as all fuck to English speakers so if you don't feel like squaring up against like 7-10k hours for fluency. Seriously. Tones? Voices? I literally can not fucking hear them, not to save my life.

I've learned that women can be funny.

>>937907
A piece of advice I've heard a few times from people who can speak multiple languages is that German is a great starter for a would-be polyglot. Apparently German language resources are far superior to English, I have no idea why this is. French is apparently a close runner up.
And as >>938336 mentioned it's something of a lingua franca within Europe.

>>938367
Wow, you really are your mother's punchline.

>>938500
Thanks.

>>935156
They convinced me to stop watching youtube, twitch or any of it's kind, turn off the music and just do my job in silence. Then come here after work and read about streamers I'll never watch again.

>>938336
This. It's probably a bit harder to learn as an English native than Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or Dutch. Maybe France is better for intercontinental business, I don't know. But there are more than 200 million German speakers in Europe and muh commerce means it's relevant in business, besides certain parts of industry are filled with G*rms.
>>938554
I hope you know that I didn't mean it. Your parents loved you and probably still do. This is a nice board.

>>938445
I dunno about the resources in German, but it wouldn't surprise me just because of how central they are. I can definitely vouch for French being a worthwhile time investment, though. Je parle francais un peu, and it definitely makes the transition to understanding other romance languages a lot easier for a native English speaker. I'm often surprised at how much I catch when someone is speaking Italian or Spanish.

>>938367
This, I stopped posting on r9k because of it

>>938805
Happy you made it out, bro. You should be proud.

KIARA DOX HAPPENING.

>>935156
I used to be so pissed off and read shittons of shit on 4chan specifically to piss myself off and visit boards I hated and sites I despised.
Then I started watching vtubers and clips more than I visited videos that made me upset, and I'm overall a lot happier. It got me out of some pretty nasty social media ruts, and instead focused my attention to something that at least doesn't leave me in bouts of anger.

Maybe it's unhealthy. I don't care, going to twitter was unhealthier.

>>935193

>>935156
kiryu coco made me like and respect a woman without me wanting to fuck her/make her a waifu.

that is the first time in my life that has happened.

>>935156
Initially made me much more motivated to do my japanese reps. Less so when holoEN came out. I'm thinking about mostly dropping EN vtubers, though.

>>935156
desu whenever I have hard times I think of strongest vtuba haachama chama

I wanna have the balls fubuki has

Made me remember women are fun to have around and not just sex objects, I had grown bitter after relationship failures and denying me the chance to build any kind of friendship with the opposite sex. I know a real woman wouldn't be cute and cheerful all the time, and usually they're more trouble than they're worth, but for those great moments when they're good I think I can suffer with reality again before going full monk again.

>>935156
I work out, I'm studying to be an engineer, I'm forcing myself to be around people who I'd otherwise avoid an attempt to become authentically sociable.

I know that if I do all of this life will get better, but sometimes I just can't muster the will to do it, progress is slow, or there's a setback. Sometimes I doubt myself and begin to feel stagnant.
And no matter how much I remind myself of the pointlessness of my doubts, they persist, so as I struggle on, unable to feel certain that what I'm doing is helpful rather than merely distracting.

And Hololive just makes me smile somehow, so I listen to Hololive songs as I study, workout or commute intermixed with podcasts on philosophy, economics, geopolitics e.c.t.
And that effect Hololive has on me is sort of a like a proxy for an uplifting friend I wish I had. (Not friendless, but I have too few very uplifting relationships with friends that I see consistently).

Not a simp though.

Got me interested in dating again. My previous attempts were horrific and lackluster, in that order. The first one was both of us being terrible for each other and the second was amicable. After that, I spent a few years enjoying being single, not thinking I'd go back any time soon.
Vtubers have me reevaluating that. It could be fun, especially if I can find someone who isn't a total normie this time.

>>955188
How does watching anime girl streamers get you to want to date real women again?
I'm not knocking you I'm just actually curious
