They're intertwined. Most anxiety issues aren't in your head. They're normally somewhere else in the body. Issues with the cardiovascular system will cause a world of neurological presentations.

Unless you've had a TBI or have a genetic issue, they're not in your brain. They're the interaction matrix with the rest of the body. The brain doesn't work the way we've convinced the world it does.

The impact of diet, fitness, and other physical issues on mental disorders is way too downplayed. There's study after study showing that exercise is more effective than anti-depressants for most cases (and can get many people entirely off of them even), that a large number of disorders have been traced to certain vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and that heavy metal build-up can cause a lot of neurological issues that reverse with chelation therapies to get the lead, cadmium, and arsenic out of the body.

Of course telling people to first eat better and exercise more doesn't make as much money as pushing endless drugs.

I blame Final Fantasy more than anything else for that.
I never understood the idea that it was Final Fantasy that did this. Chaos, Cloud of Darkness, Zeromus, and Exdeath had nothing to do with reaching godhood in the first place, and even with Emperor Mateus and Kefka they weren't like becoming some stand-in for the Abrahamic God beyond Kefka's final battle having parallels to the Divine Comedy. I put much more blame on SMT.

Depression is a neurological defensive state the body enters to avoid over-expenditure of whatever chunk of the brain is under stress. It's why the drugs actually never solve the issue. The person either has to recover or someone helps them "sweat" out the issues.

Just want to appreciate the current state of thing since you guys are nostalgia posting as if there's nothing good ever happening anymore/current year

Honestly I have never had more fun watching ENRECO and GTA RP when it came to streams
Even the current Rust seem meh in comparison to them but it's only day 2

There's also the (re?)discovery of Reya that elevate Hololive streams to a new level. (I hope she takes good commission worth her time and effort instead of selling herself short like Miori)

Biboo's birthday stream was great


There was this one in 2024, but meh fuck it, recent enough. Also rip fauna.


Seems like the current year is bigger, more involved 4+ people projects/collabs since people are alot more organized and outward going than back in the days with Myth. Individually I really like Bae's going through yoko taro shit and her yakuza gameplay. There's the addition of CC whom is so unique and entertaining, noone even remember her playing the violin anymore, nor does she need to. I think she's saving it for after 3D. Tbh I'd rather watch her play games than violin. But we'll see what she's cooking.

Currently it's in a lull-ish state for sure, but Holo literally is having 4 people graduating at the same time and noone wanna take the spot light away from them.

P/s: speaking of 2020, fuck among us.

If you only watch EN none of that mattered (and that's assuming that EN-only watchers were even aware of those events.)
EN doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Kanade is fun. One of the few Hololivers I actually directly follow. She's a slightly more adult kusogaki, so it sometimes just catches you out when she switches to gremlin mode. Some interesting singing partners for the Live. Wasn't expecting Azki, though we know she'll show up to sing pretty much anytime someone asks. But Subaru + Noel was really unexpected.



I had assumed Cover would do something like when a band has a long term member leave and they show up for like 1-2 big shows on a tour.



Farewell to the garlic flower.



Funny bit about Japan. Everyone says they're one of the least religious populations, but they actually rank just behind Nepal, I believe, in actual religious practice observations. (At least of the countries we can track.) It's just a "low" religion comparatively, which is why they'll always tend towards those stories.



I blame Final Fantasy more than anything else for that.



We're a solid 400 years into everyone revising the history about what was really going on in Europe. Power always matters first and everything just gets taken along with that river of influence. There's a 200 year period of the Papacy vs the Holy Roman Empire that dictates so much of what was really going on. Because that was back when the "Church" was an Imperial organization first and foremost.




Galileo was intelligent, but also comes off like an arrogant asshole quite a lot. A quick look around the Internet and you notice that ain't new.



Appropriate response, hehe.



It's quite obvious she really doesn't want to go, but it's far more like a professional athlete that knows it's their last ride. Their body can't hold up. Much love to the Towl for all she's given us.



I've had a feeling they're going to do a basically final Myth collab.

I always knew that only my oshi would be the one that killed herself. To all the Gura killers out there, lol. Lmao even.

I'll miss the silly little shark, but it's definitely for the best in regards to her mental health.

But that's pretty much it unless we want to go into the "the sheets are blue, the author must be depressed" kind of autistic small detail analysis. Like I just know a schizo out there somewhere would write an essay over the fact that the second Gura crushed the flower and the real Gura avoided doing so at the risk of losing her balance.
Or how she wants to stop the second Gura from leaving, and then becomes her herself and leaves.

Speak of the devil and she shall appear. She goes autistically into instrumentation as she normally does and Casey went hard. All the instrumentation reflects *Rimshot* the feelings of being trapped in an endless cycle of anxiety. The myth stuff is fittingly uplifting and hopeful. now for my autistic in depth interpretations
Someone in her comments notes myth references in the first verse
Face to face with time again (Time Ame)
We walk once more to the end (End Ina)
Waves can't put out my flame (Flame Kiara)
Death will never write my name (Death Calli

[Chorus]
And they all say
"Tear it down, burn it down" ("graduate already you lazy ass")
And they'll all pay
When I tear it down, burn it down (their gonna regret telling her to graduate)
When the world falls through
And all is ash again
While you all pretend
If this is the end, I'll do it again

(all of this seems like saying that tho the people telling her to graduate will think she'll be gone forever she plans on reincarnating. Also an alternative interpretation i thought of is this is a metaphor for her thinking that things are gonna be fine so she comes back to stream and the fans believe everything will be fine but the cycle starts again.)

[Verse 2]
Voices rise in my head (My head)
The hands that pull at my thread (My thread)
Let them drown, burn it down
Wait for wash in the tide (The tide)
In the abyss is where I will hide (Will hide)
Let them drown, burn it down

(More talking about everyone telling her what to do and wearing on her mental. She says fuck you, I'm going away from them)

[Pre-Chorus]
They say the memory of me is fading
I've heard it all before
Don't tell me everyone around is waiting

(I talked about this before in another post but for completions sake, here she is just blatantly talking about people putting pressure on her to stream and how it makes the anxiety and imposter syndrome worse)

We swim against the current's aim
In dark, we change as smoke returns to rain
Navigating sunken depths and all of its debris
And no more hands upon my words, they only speak for me (when she graduates the only person she'll feel responsible for is herself)
For all the ones who try to silence thunder
I'm the wave that pulls you down and under (fuck the antis you didn't win I chose this)
Every day, I'll stand with me, and I'll fight the drought of shallow sea (more doing shit for her own benefit)
As ships sail winds of jealousy, I'll listen carefully (Let it all burn down) (calling out people who are jealous of her)

(To summarize I think all above she's talking about how all her dark moments have changed her for the better and how she's resolved to stop listening to what others have to say and do what she needs to in order to be happy)

[Chorus]
As they all say
"Tear it down, burn it down" (Burn it down)
And they'll all pay (And they all say)
When I tear it down, burn it down (Down)
When the world falls through (Falls through)
And all is ash again
While you all pretend (Ah)
If this is the end, I'll do it again

(It's possible that my two interpretations of the chorus, being one of reincarnation or one of an endless destructive cycle, are both correct. This one is the one of reincarnation while the first ones are ones of the destructive cycle. Songs will often have the chorus work for two different often opposing messages/tones depending on the instrumentation and placement in the song so I would not be surprised if this was the case here)

I assume unless something shockingly big comes up Gura's gonna win original song of the year and graduation/event of the year for 2025 TVA awards. In fact I might see this event topping Coco, Kizuna, and Aqua's graduation.

She called the song her final project. I don't think she's doing some big graduation thing, We might get a stream with call ins at best.

Anyone looking to do a word by word analysis of the lyrics of Ash Again needs to take a look at the song's credits - what you're analyzing is Casey Edwards' interpretation of Gura's "discord trauma dump", not a personal message from her.....

Even Fauna and Sana who weren't singers and performers at least had an elevated l2d or vr karaoke.

Yeah Gura's good at singing but I don't think she has ever been proven to be good at song writing.

I don't think anyone said she directly wrote her message into the song, more like Casey translated her emotions and thoughts and experiences into a cohesive message she was haphazardly conveying in conversations, aka it's not divorced from Gura's thoughts and feelings.
