Here are a few highlights from the Lia / Pomu collab so far:

Lia is currently at 1,900 viewers (and slowly climbing) which I think is a record for Lia.
There's some good chemistry between Lia and Pomu - they both have similar interests regarding idols, they're both are deep into idol culture, they're both laughing at the same things, and there's no awkward silences or anything like that.

It's a pretty good stream. I'd definitely check these two out again.
Reminder, Pomu and Lia supposedly know each other from the cosplay circles they travel and have interacted quite a bit outside the vtuber space. This just kinda proves it
 

No way dude

Shiina said that the NSFW drawing subathon goal was too spicy so its not going to get released. She's commissioning a more tame version in its place. Also knitting more scarves as an apology.
Meanwhile, in Shiina's chat...

Pomu knows Lia well enough to just drop a Freddy Fazbear reference on her.

inb4 Lia and Scarle collab and they only talk about BL :SelenHAHAhere:
Considering the few times I've seen Scarle and Lia bond over thirst traps on twitter, this is a very real possibility.

I cannot imagine what Lia must be thinking right now. Less than a year ago she was thinking about giving up and now she gets to collab with one of her favorite vtubers in less than a half hour.

Hopefully she can keep the brainworms under control.
She's been working really hard this last year and has had a lot of great things happen to her, and she deserves it. I hope things keep going well for her. She's also now slightly under 15k until becoming the fourth Phase member to hit the big 100k. I'm really happy for her.


With all the recent talks about our favorite :twittersperg:, it reminded me to check-in on a vtuber that does good metal stuff that isn't a :twittersperg:: Patra.

Somehow, I missed her guitar stream almost two weeks ago where she did a Summer festival of her playing guitar and singing. Currently watching the Lia + Pomu collab, so I haven't watched the whole stream yet, but will after this. I don't think anyone mentioned it back when she did it, but I wanted to mention it now because I listened to some of the songs, and it's awesome. She has a pretty solid line-up of songs that include covers from Pantera, Megadeth, Metallica, Exodus, etc. She doesn't sing every song, but she does for many, and it's great.

As I don't speak Japanese, I don't know the context behind much with her. Watching some of her previous guitar streams, I noticed she plays some of the same songs often, so I assumed she was practicing these songs on stream and trying to get better at playing them, but I could be wrong. However, if this is the case, you can tell in this Summer festival, she's definitely improved on these songs and has them down pretty damn good.

I know many of us lament that there aren't many vtubers within the English speaking side of vtubing involved in metal, and that the most prominent one is a :twittersperg:, but at least there's Patra on the Japanese side, and her guitar streams are probably the best "metal" content in vtubing. But enough of my own sperging, here's the stream:

Their respective chats are quite similar too when it comes to bullying them (by showering them money coupled with certain comments). Actually looking forward to it just for the memes and potential legendary clips it could produce.

Plus Scarle's probably in the same cosplay circle as Lia and probably had interactions with each other in cons before.
They live quite close to each other as well. I think Lia's just in the state beside Scarle's.

While you fags where wasting your time, nobody has posted about this arguably more interesting topic:
Apparently the chinese gov is trying to portray vtubers as duplicitous scammers who suck money out of their fans while giving nothing back, idk I don't speak chink. As you can see they use kizuna as an example with this shady dude standing behind her while the oblivious youths listen to the witch's sweet nothings.
Hey @Gaotye(Chinese DD) make yourself useful for once and tell us more about whatever the fuck this is.


Transcript by purportedly chinese redditor:
"Rough self-TL:

The streamer is virtual but the promises to the fans can’t be virtual
Virtual streamers and vtubers with their cute anime avatars who have hundreds of thousands of fans and interact with them using chats are growing in the numbers; they make their fans willingly donate to them tens of thousands of dollars. Some of these virtual streamers make promises that they’ll give their fans presents as to “stimulate” their fans’ donations, but as the year passes by and the fans can’t wait any longer, its unlikely that fans (will get their money back even by) file their complaints successfully. These streamers are virtual yet the “benefits” invoked are real; if (these streamers) make promises to their fans, they can’t ignore them.

(The black guy behind the screen) “Platform”
(Definitely not Ai-chan) “How can you take my words as real/sincere if I’m virtual myself?”

(Fan #1 and 2) My donations are real though!/ Where are the presents that you promised (to give us)?

And yes, the entire paragraph is quite grammatically broken even in Chinese. The most ridiculous thing about this is using Ai-Chan’s avatar and actively defaming her and other vtubers’ images and they can probably get away with it because it’s the state media."
I saw that and almost posted it when there were talks about Nijisanji's China affiliate, but ultimately didn't really give a shit. Just China doing China things.
End of the day this is the one thing about Vtuber/Irl separation that has some people confused, for example people think/feel Irys/namirin wouldn't be the type to sell feet pics or nudes or whatever because of how she successfully plays her character on stream, yet it's similar to how people think Elira is some untouched pure virgin that scoffs at the idea of sex just because it's how she comes off on stream. What's that old saying? "Never meet your heroes"? Most actors aren't the same IRL, hell Bruce Willis seems like a chill/cool person to hang around yet everyone in hollywood has said what a shitstain he is off screen.
At the same time, comparing streamers to actors is kinda weird. Not every streamer is the same, and for a lot of people acting or lying about who you are that much would be exhausting and difficult to be consistent with. In terms of VTubers, some will put up more a persona such as FuwaMoco, some just drop whatever debut persona they have after they get comfortable streaming more like Bae, and some don't even bother with a persona to begin with or only use one for a very short time before saying "fuck it".

Obviously, there are going to be things they don't tell people or character traits they hide, but that isn't any different when interacting with normal people in real life, anyway. The most likely scenario, at least for big corpo VTubers, is a lot of them hold back saying stuff or making jokes they would normally say offstream or as an indie because it is too unhinged or offensive when you are repping a company.

We saw that with Randon/Vesper, in that he behaved pretty much how everyone expected he would, which was a much more exagerated and bombastic version of Vesper. IRyS/Namirin is similar in she definitely is more casual in her Namirin streams, and will generally be more likely to sarcasticly respond to a chatter or curse in general, while she usually only does such things when she gets frustrated with a game as IRyS.

Tl;dr: how much a streamer shares or plays up their personalities will widely depend on the person, and defaulting to "everything you see is a total lie or an act" is kind of silly. Most will tell as much of the truth as they can simply because it is easier to manage.

:irysisadork::ewww:

I may be ignorant, but I thought those massage guns were explicitly BAD at what you guys are assuming because of the reciprocal motion they do. Color me wrong if I am though.
I've meant to look into the massage gun stuff. It's gotten super trendy in the Fitness space, which usually means it's bad for you. And, yeah, the secondary utility of the devices is also a question because massage machines were actually first used for exactly that. No joke. Though rich women in New York getting water blasted is a whole thing from the 1910s.
I know someone who got a massage gun like that a couple years ago. No idea how effective it actually is, but apparently you have to avoid using it on areas where the bone is close to the skin because it's powerful enough to be painful.

I didn't know any Vtubers were doing top line shredding over tracks. That's wild. Also, that guitar she has is rather expensive.

The thought of some random Japanese Woman in her apartment doing the an anime voice while shredding over Metallic is, however, quite hilarious. Solid English singing chops as well.

"It's normalizing sexual harassment"
How sentence can utterly usurp an otherwise not completely dumb opinion
Except its a mouthbreather opinion wrapped in a flowery language all twitter users use to make themselves feel smarter. What she said can be summarized with 3 sentences.

Vtubers and their fans are horny.
Mainstream media and its fans like movies and tv isn't.
Think of the kids!/women!

Gross generalization, completelly wrong on the mainstream media part (Twilight, 50 shades, CUTIES, DMZ) and appeal to emotion.

Enna is mad at herself because she doesn't give herself the copyright of her own original song.

And she keep repeating people to not do it, and they do it anyway, i think she has the more porn of all of them
To me, it's either Suisei, Marine, or either Pekora or Fubuki that has that position. I saw more singular artpieces with Suisei but Marine got more doujin/other related stuff while Pekora/Fubuki followed behind.

... at least I know no one hasnt done dirty things while in Suisei cosplay yet.

Drunkenly playing Dragon Force's Through Fire and Flames while trying to do God Know's (Suzumiya Haruhi OP) is still the best thing I know about Patra.

"Romance Novels" aka Porn for Women is, most years, the largest single section of printed Media. Everyone has just kind of ignored that reality and moved on.

I have no clue how could anyone look at a thirsty fujo who lusts after anything cute downgrading to a nonfunctional state, was eager to go to a host bar, read really fucked up smut fanfics, is totally fine with kissing and go "yeah, she has no interest in physical aspect of relationships and wouldn't want to do it with anyone and stay pure forever". I swear I sometimes feel like I am watching a totally different streamer or something. Sure, Elira doesn't talk about having sex or wanting to fuck or riding dicks every 5 minutes, it just makes her act normal (and she has a surprising talent for appearing to be completely and perfectly fine despite being quite a deranged individual). Or did they just take her mentioning how her parents gave up on her ever finding anyone as "she is definitely going to stay a virgin just like us" and not that she is such a fucking weeb they have no expectations of anyone staying with her anymore? Then there is also a thing you learn quickly that people who talk about it the least usually have the highest body count, and the ones who scream on every corner how much they love fucking are usually virgins
