So, how much have you integrated vtubers in your life, anon?

Do you use this same alarm to wake you the fuck up like a chad?

[Anonymous No.]

Nah, but I respect it.
I like the Vtubing scene so I apply to work in it every 3 months. To keep "in the loop" I've found myself posting a lot on here.
I don't think I'd have done anything more interesting in the interim, so I'm having a good time.

What work can you do on the vtubing scene besides being a model designer, manager or being the vtuber itself?

Trying to be a Vtuber. While those other two sound really enticing I'm severely deaf and those positions require a lot of spoken back and forth.
With Vtubers you talk to the microphone and people respond to you in text. It's basically a giant loophole to get around my achille's heel.
I imagine there are a lot of positions for storylines, character direction and setup for generations etc. They just all require communication.
On top of enjoying the idea of being a Vtuber, it's my only hope for doing work in this Vtuber saturated field. It's not like I don't have prior experience as an entertainer, but there's a lot of normal people throwing their hat into the ring too I imagine. What a pain.
Still. I've seen a fan of Hololive do it before. Don't see why I can't.

Hololive used to be my only entertainment, had memberships with several JP. Got in at the right time, when Coco was shaving her pubes on stream, teaching Luna to swear like a sailor, Haachama smelling her feet, puking on stream and reviewing her own lewds. PekoMiko still going strong, Matsuri still telling dirty jokes, Moona meet Pekora in minecraft, 1st Gen EN debut. Good time. Now i got out of the rabbit hole, too much happened and it is far less enjoyable now. Just occasionally dip in it like now.

How come I'm not aware of this?

I make a living doing live2d rigs and I've never had to speak to anyone. All the exchanges are text based. I don't think how being deaf would impact the work.

On the contrary, a deaf speaker will sound unnatural to viewers, but hey, it also makes you more unique so it can be a good thing

I was worried about how I'd sound so I put a big disclaimer on my livestreams saying that I'm deaf, since this is a competitive field and I need experience just for my own sake, but people haven't complained about game volume or my volume yet so I assume OBS is accurate with what can or cannot be heard. On my end it's literally just a guessing game.
Making rigs sounds fun. I make a lot of things on the art side but it falls apart at advertising. I'll say I need X results or X done, here is money. (I'll even say I can't really do conversations, etc.)
So I just have to sit around and hope I can grab a charismatic person to act as my voice and since everyone went online/got reclusive I feel like an Iterator from Rain World.
I'm glad I haven't laughed yet. Imagine making it as a Vtuber, everyone understands you're deaf and suddenly I laugh and it sounds like Pandora's box slammed into a pipe organ then slams into a farming combine. Sometimes it pays to be serious.

She did that monthly back then, "hair removal stream", with a laser burning thing, accidentally burned her "inside" one time.

Can you not just set up a handcam and do sign language. Might be a good gimmick that no one has done before.

>Fall down the rabbit hole. Watch every stream, join membership, read every chat.
>Fall in love, seriously, for the first time in my life.
>To a god damn internet personality.
>I've never been in love before, I thought I was ill or going insane.
>Lose my appetite, lose sleep, keep waking up checking if she typed anything.

>They help me understand, that I am in love, and love is normal.
>Finally accepted my feelings
>Still follow her, but am now more calm about it.
>Sleep schedule still fucked because she streams at god awful times, but whatever.
One hell of an introduction to this business.

this is depressing anon

May we know who was the lucky one?

[Anonymous No.]

>>47151017
If you must know. Riifu Evergreen.
She's a degenerate, she's autistic, she pushes my buttons with her humour and her lewdness.
My obsession is a bit unhealthy, but I'm slowly gaining control back. This VTuber thing is most likely not for me, I'll probably go back to my normal life soon.

used to use this as an alarm. clipped it from a shion/matsuri collab.

I see why you may like her, she seems fun by the kick watch of her debut

But damn anon, you need to touch of a woman for falling so hard in love with a eceleb, it's all parasocial bruh

[Anonymous No.]

>>47152109
Do you feel sad shes sucking off other dudes in their little discord server

[Anonymous No.]

>>47154006
Yes. I know it's all parasocial, but the way she participated in chat, talking to us even when she didn't have to, telling us she was parasocial back and missing us when she went offline. It got me good.
These past two weeks have been an eye opener, I've not really had much going in in life, growing up sheltered and shy. Not really passionate about anything. The funny thing is even though I'm feeling all depressed about it at the moment, the love was really inspiring. I'm picking up art again, working to improve myself, be more independent. So even though the whole experience was a roller-coaster, I feel that it was a good learning experience.
Sorry for the blogpost, just feels nice to share. Thank you.

>>47154650
Ah, as I was typing, your message appeared. I honestly don't care too much, I know she's a full on coomer, I know what she's peddling. If anything it has made me more aware how willing people are to sell themselves. I don't even know how much of her is an act or not. The autism, the lonely online coomer persona, or if it even matters, I'm just looking in through the window anyway.

Japanese and English use different sign languages, but unless I can play a video game with my feet while signing I'm not sure logistically how I'd pull it off.
Not saying I dislike the idea, but if you've ever seen gov officials with a sign language interpreter next to them they're always the butts of jokes. It's a lil embarrassing.

Now you're making me feel sad my guy.
This is how I feel about the whole vtuber community now. I'm just looking at the other houses from outside, seeing all the cool parties and people hanging out. FOMO isn't really there, but dang does it linger for me. I still have the one oshi I watch, keeps me grounded cause she's realistic and on that grindset for school.
Sorry for the asinine rant.

>Sorry for the asinine rant.
Not at all, writing things down and thinking about things can help you move forward.
Riifu is a new vtuber, but still I didn't join until several weeks in, so even though I was quite early in what will probably be a long career for her, I still feel like an outsider in the community. It's not like I joined because I wanted a community, but it's addicting, talking and sharing with like-minded people. I just can't help but feel pathetic over it, wasting my time on this, a girl online, a one way mirror.. Perhaps the pity I feel over myself is what inspires me more than the love.
Your oshi sounds great, a realistic one.. I wonder how much different it would be if mine wasn't Riifu, a girl that feeds on the parasocial, that streams 2-8 hours EVERY day. It's exhausting to keep up, and I wonder how much it affects my mental state. Luckily, I'm slowly losing interest, returning to normal, so life will go on.

Hey, thanks for being so patient with me.
And yeah, I get that feeling of " talking and sharing with like-minded people". You see someone who you get emotionally attached to cause you relate to them so much that you almost feel like you could hold them. But in reality, infatuation is the cause.
I don't know where I'm going with this, but I think the pandemic really us hard in socializing with other people. Being at home led us to the virtual world where we make a new home, one where we can find others that we wouldn't have found in real life at all. It is this discovery that leads us to our demise.
We should have stayed ignorant of the online world, only consuming it in tiny bites.

Honestly, the pandemic didn't affect me in the slightest. I've been a shut-in most of my life. What got me was the female attention that I've been missing most of my life, and how personal most vtubers get with their community. It was so different from the usual content I consume, gameplay streams, shows, gaming.. It was intoxicating.
>We should have stayed ignorant of the online world, only consuming it in tiny bites.
Everything in moderation, as they say. I love the online world, the wonders I can see, and the people I can hear. Of course, a lot is lost, and nothing truly replaces real communication, face to face.
It's been good talking about it, helps me clear my head, to think. I'll be sleeping on this, thank you.
