General Vtuber Discussion (V1)

[Kalion]

Miori is going over her upcoming merch store. A few notes so far:

• She's selling everything almost at cost, also giving away eyemasks with orders for free.
• She is willing to hold items for people who want to buy them but don't have the money right now.
• She has misprinted merch that makes her look tan. Doesn't believe anyone would want it.
• Received 200 printed booba mousepads. She says the material quality is very good, but the colors are slightly off so she refuses to sell them.
• Keeps using the cheapest manufacturers she can find and then wonders why she gets misprinted merch and bad samples.

It was posted before but Rin had a jigsaw puzzle stream yesterday. Just caught up on it and it became an interesting free talk midway through. She opened up a bit and got as wholesome as she could get without killing herself. Again, it's mostly unorganized notable things I wrote down while working on stuff.

Spoiler: Long Autistic Writeup

• The reason for the stream was because her best friend is coming over for Christmas. She's excited because they haven't seen each other in months due to his college studies. They compete in multiple games like puzzles so she wanted some practice. She was a bit worried that she talks about him too much but stopped caring 5 seconds later. They even have each other's credit card info and phone unlocks.
• During a bigger puzzle, she was having some trouble seeing the small pieces. She says her eyesight isn't an issue but doesn't go into more detail. "My hardware is okay; it's the software that's not running very good if you know what I'm saying. I can see the puzzle pieces but they don't go into my brain." I'm not sure what this could be other than maybe a form of dyslexia? She did confirm that it's not colorblindness though.
• She's really happy that Idol allows her to be herself. As long as she isn't breaking law or company policy, she has free reign on her content. She knows she isn't really a normal vtuber("A lot of vtubers are like attractive while I laugh like that.") and is grateful the company doesn't force her to be more cutesy or gfe. She gets that she's boyish and feels there's not many corpo vtubers like her.
• She was thinking about doing an audition advice stream when auditions open up again. She thinks they might open up in about 4 months. She also said that she got her own email acceptance and contract around July.
• She thanked the chat for sticking with her even though she laughs the way she does. She said her natural laugh is unattractive and she's spent years trying to make it sound more human.
• She almost toned down how much she showed her ikea sharks because she was worried it'd piss people off. But she decided to be honest and is glad it's working out.
• One of her big goals is to do a marine conservation charity stream, preferably a shark-focused one. She knows she has a good-sized platform and wants to use it for something good like sending sharks to college. Then she slightly backpedals and says she needs it for the clout because english people can't actually be nice.
• She has no interest, understanding or desire of romantic relationships. She emphasized that this isn't a bit or part of her character, she just doesn't understand the idea of wanting to be in a relationship. Same thing with unseiso/sexual content. She won't be doing anything like that at all. She sounded exasperated talking about it so I wouldn't be surprised if she had a few unicorns on her old persona or a few confessions from her high school friends when she was just trying to be one of the bros.
• She doesn't get to see her mom much because of work. And whenever she does, her mom is usually exhausted from said work. She's been feeling a little sad from it so she'll try to make it to the family dinners more often.
• She has a big project she started working on that she hasn't even told her manager about yet. She hasn't said anything because she feels like if she does, she'll be obligated to finish it. She hates the feeling of having to do something because it was promised rather than just wanting to do it.
• She will stream or post a video on Christmas. Her family called her out for not focusing on family time but she reminded them that she makes easy money from it. She told her mom how much she made on her monetization stream and her mom asked her to do more streams.
• She wants to get her mom and little brother on stream at some point. She didn't want to make any promises but she knows that if it happens, chat would like them more than her. It's something that's happened multiple times with friends. There's actual paperwork and things to clear with management before it happens though.
• Her family is proud of her and happy that she's making money. Because of all her medical issues, she couldn't hold a standard job. She's glad she can decide her own streaming hours because her problems can pop up at any moment.
• Her family doesn't move out much. Because their house is so big, they've more often moved from one room to another rather than move out of the house itself.
• She reiterated that she doesn't need superchats. Her family is doing well and would provide for her even if she wasn't working. She mentioned a period after sixth form where she wasn't doing anything and her family never pressured her to work. Even if her mom's side wasn't fine, she could move in with her dad. Any superchat money would probably be spent on dumb things or more ikea sharks. But she gets that it's the point of the job and she's grateful.
• She brought up 2 of her big inspirations. There's a vtuber group she watches whose collabs are the funniest she's seen. She wants to bring that energy into her own collabs and flesh out the dynamic between her and her collab partner. There's also a male JP vtuber who she thinks is really good at talking. She feels her own talking skills aren't that good and when she streams, it's more like rambling to herself.
• She already has a collab set up with someone outside Idol. She went on a little tangent about how corpo vtubing doesn't really feel like competition. There's a small sense of competition between the agencies but not the talents themselves. It's up to the corpos to put their foot forward and market their vtubers well. If there's any competitive feeling at all between individual talents, she would rather it be a friendly rivalry.
• She thanked chat again for actually coming to watch her live. She went back to the competition thing for a bit and knows that there are a limited number of vtuber watchers, so she's grateful for the people here.

TLDR:

• She has an unspecified perception problem in addition to all her other medical issues.
• She's happy that she's in Idol because they let her be herself. They don't try to force anything on her that she doesn't want to do.
• She appreciates the viewers that do come because she knows her content isn't standard vtuber stuff and she thinks her laugh is unattractive. She's spent years trying to change it.
• She has zero interest in relationships, gfe or sexual content. She can't understand why theyre as popular as they are.
• Her family is in full support of her vtuber activities. Her medical problems prevent her from having a more standard job so they're glad she found a way to make money that works for her.
• She wants to get her mom and little brother on stream one day. Her mom knows a lot about youtube and public speaking so she isn't worried about accidental doxxing.
• She started working on a big project her manager doesn't even know about yet.
• One of her major goals is to do a charity stream for marine conservation, ideally a shark-related one. She knows she has a decent-sized platform and wants to use it for something that she cares about.

It's over bros. I've accepted this smug, decaying brit as my oshi and hope she achieves her dream of sending some sharks to college.


Also she's currently playing the lamb cult game:

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't she also say that she might not have much to add in a audition advice stream because she didn't audition she was scouted, just a interesting piece of information to add to the pile.

 

[Piarro]

Turns out Calli was a fan of the Babylon Bee and decided to make that song after they were banned from Twitter.

Where did she say this?

 

[Thomas Talus]

Where did she say this?

It is a joke/rrat referencing Elon Musk buying Twitter to unban the Bee.

I'd have to check the vod again but I thought the scouting thing was a joke. A bit after, she mentioned wanting to talk about her audition video.

 

[Aka Split]

Fulgur has the idea of a quiz show, except you only get 1 point for answering correctly. And you get up to 10 points depending on how funny the answer is. And he isn’t going to tell the others his plan beforehand.

That’s such a hilarious and creative idea.

The reason Hololive couldn't do this is because there would be no competition.


Edit: Did I even know that Octopath Traveler 2 was being made? Did anyone know that a bearded Vesper was in it? Oswald V. Vanstein, the scholar:

Any other neat shit takes that she mentioned so far?

Chat was basically spamming anime and she would talk about whether she's seen stuff or not. She seems like the biggest anime weeb in NijiEN, and has seen quite a lot from older shows (Tenchi Muyo, Escaflowne, Rayearth, Fushigi Yugi) to newer stuff. She kinda seems like the sort of person who more or less likes (almost) everything. She did expose her age a bit though because she talked about how she remembers back when Bleach, Naruto, and OP were getting started and people were picking their favs (she wasn't really into them, but she did like Shaman King).

 

[Zapan1984]

huh Interesting "Lore drop" with the Stars/Planets

So Regis name comes from the Eagle Constellation. Axel is obvious from Sirius. Even so not a Star, Vesper's name maybe originates from Venus as his name can roughly mean twilight and Venus is the Morning Star. No clue on Magni.

Noire = Black
Vesper = afternoon/evening

Source: In spanish we have the word vespertino, that means "something that happens in the evening/twilight...

WAIT A MINUTE!
Fuck off Cover!

Edit: Digging more, Vesper's origin in latin means Evening (and by extension evening star), but also West or to the West.

Now looking at the name "Magni Dezmond", Magni comes from Magnum: Big, Great (So the great Magni Dezmond is The Great great Dezmond).
But Desmond: comes from Irish (Deas-Mhumhna) and means South Munsther.
Altare comes from Altair(If you played Assassin's Creed you know) and means flying eagle.
Now, we had Vesper West, Desmond South and sure enough...
Wikipedia: This star is one of the asterisms used by Bugis sailors for navigation, called bintoéng timoro, meaning "eastern star"

So far only Axel Sirios doesn't fit this, Sirius being the brightest star of the Canis majoris (Great dog) constellation on the souther hemisphere.

After my last joke(?) comparing Vesper to an Octopath Traveler 2 character (seriously they are so similar) my mind took a much less research-based, but similar journey around the themes of the boys: Tempus archetypes line up with the main characters of The Princess Bride almost perfectly. Vesper is Inigo, he devoted his entire life to studying (the blade, specifically). Axel is Fezzik, the slow, but kindhearted brute. Regis is Wesley, the all-rounder hero (but also Dread Pirate/demon lord). Magni is Vizzini, the self-proclaimed genius and poison aficionado. Or if you want them all to be good guys, Magni can be Princess Buttercup I guess.
