Holy shit I had no idea about Botan. Very sad to hear tbh I haven't watched much of her but she seems like a chill holomem and she gets praise even outside of vtuber circles for her fps skills.About the Botan talk from a couple pages back, she has a terminal or near-terminal liver condition. (Unrelated to Alcohol) She's spoken on it only briefly and as ambiguously as possible. But she's also tweeting about visiting Hospitals on a near bi-weekly basis for it, so...
Is streaming a stressful job? Probably not too much in the traditional sense. But she's also taking the voice lessons, dance lessons, and hopping around for all the 3D stuff whenever she can. Botan seems to have a mildly active life outside of streaming, often tweeting or talking about visiting local restaurants or going out with friends/streaming buddies. Off the top of my head, Botan has probably visited with more JP Holomems than 90% of the others. Botan has met with, Mio, Okayu, Watame, Lui, and probably a few more I can't think of right now.
Either way. She's strong and happy, but... Sad words even if she wraps them in laughter. I keep wondering if organ transplant is possible or something... Something to save her life.

On a more positive note at least, I'm finally wrapping up Pomu's MGS playthrough (At least up to #4). If ever there will be a Vtuber hall-of-fame, her playthrough of the series deserves to be there. The reactions, emotional highs and lows, twists and turns... It's all top-tier Vtubing content.

Oh and here's Fauna schedule for the week.
Makes it seem even more depressing that current year medical research is more focused on letting troons get pregnant than growing new livers from stem cells
