Back in October
@agility_ proposed that we hold an Asylum Award for the thread at the end of the year. I think it would be fun to look back on everything that has happened this year and give out little token awards for our favorite talents/moments and I've seen some others express the same sentiment. I think we should decide on the categories this week, nominate candidates for each category next week and set up polls and vote for each category on the first week of next year. Here are the categories that I propose and my example nominees, feel free to suggest additional categories or categories to remove:
Best Debut (New streamer that debuted this year that you find particularly interesting): Amanogawa Shiina
Memorable Graduation (Graduations that particularly affected you): Beatani (obviously Sana and the GoGo Nippon Girls graduated this year as well)
Best Original Song: Violet by Ina (I don't really watch vtubers for the music so I'm not the best judge here)
Best Cover: Villain Vibes by Trash Panda
Best Game Playthrough: Pippa's Postal 2 playthrough (I don't have time to watch as many talents so I would like so my list is going to be a bit biased)
Feels Moment (obviously excluding graduations): Metokur "raids" into Pippa and she finds out he will soon be too sick to stream or when she thanked him at the end of the Gunt stream
Biggest Yab: Rushia's career ending woman moment
Meme Magic Moment (when a vtuber memed something into reality or some funny coincidence or comedic timing): FLAVR (Salome reaching 1 million could also count)
Best Stream: Pippa's Rage stream otherwise known as the Gunt stream
Best Concert/Live Performance: Lain Paterson's 3D Debut (again I'm probably not the one to ask about this category)
Best Fanwork (Songs, videos, collaborations, probably not illustrations though): Moonshine's Just Pippa Things (The Ken Ashcorp Song was also this year)
Best New Outfit: Juniper Actias' Lune redesign v1(not a fan of v2 and this may change based on her new outfit on the 16th)
Best Collab/Crossover: Pippa and Lumi playing Vermintide
2 View Spotlight (2 view you discovered this year, they didn't have to debut this year): Dinosaurolophus (I don't know I don't watch too many 2 views)
Best Discovery of the Year (like the 2 view category, who did you discover this year that quickly became one of your favorites): Kirsche
Best Thread Moment (memorable moment from the thread itself, probably better for next year): the thread's creation
Most Schizo/Worst Fanbase: Kindred
Most Schizo/Lolcow Fan: Inkari Tenri
Lolcow Vtuber: Futacuchi Mana (that one brap tuber that kept changing identities is probably a better example but I can't remember their name)
Most Horrifying Moment: Stapler chan
Food Crime: Sakana's Ketchup Pasta (There are better examples I just can't think of ny right now)
Horrific Hygiene: Remilia's Moldy Firdge
Management Screw Up: Phase Connect banning 4chan lingo (There are probably better examples of this, maybe the Roco situation)
Biggest Let Down: KSON joining VShojo where her biggest appeal, her dynamic with the Holo girls is completely gone (Mana's entire career could be here as well)
Black Company of the Year: VShojo (WACTOR and CybreLive might be better fits but I don't know as much about them)
Here are agility's suggestions for categories:
What do you guys think, is this something you want to do?
