Phase Connect General

[NTRAntagonist]

Clio will be taking the Lumi approach - regular streams on Twitch, "special" streams on YT


I was hoping the fish would make them do simultaneous streaming at least some of the time, but I'll take it I guess (the first week schedule was giving me hope)

My cope is: I was worried if they were made to simulstream I'd be locked into just watching Phase. Now that I'm accepting they're primarily twitch streamers, as much as I like Clio and Mari, I'll continue to only occasionally see them via others clips and collabs

 

[MythicalSloth]

I have bad news

No one expected the Pippa knee socks, and yet...

 

[Helkar]

I'm wondering. Do Clio's various clips of her not joining Phase Connect pre or postdate the fish sliding into her DMs?

That has actually been discussed in debut 2.0, Clio's agressive stance towards phasebeggars was chosen on purpose as a long con of "sitting in a corner with a thought-bubble of 'they don't know im already joining Phase Connect'".

 

[JMForte]

She says she's referred a lot of girls to Fishman, obviously more than actually got hired on. This is, and putting in a good word for, is what she seems to consider as "nepo".

I wouldn't consider that a nepo hire at all, not even Pippa does. People interpret a nepo hire as someone who is hired because of the connection, in spite of others being better candidates. To me, being called a nepo hire is kind of disrespectful, it heavily implies that the person can't get in on their own ability or merits, when lets be real, just because Fishman listens to his talents recommendations, he at the end of the day will pick ones he himself thinks is good, and will ignore them if he disagrees with their recommendations.

Clio says she's been in the basement the longest - 2 years as Sakana's post said. This was in response to someone joking about Pippa nepo-hiring.

On the day her teaching contract lapsed in 2023, Sakana slid into her DMs. No one knew she was in - for the most part.

How big was her ccv back then? This was a pretty great investment locking her in for so long

 

[NTRAntagonist]

I think it might be safe to say it's not cosmetic surgery.

EDIT: Why the fuck has she had to resort to flying to Korea to have polyps removed, is the US system so fucked you can't even get basic cancer prevention procedures done?

Damnable circumstances. I hope she'll give her body due time to recover from back to back surgeries.

I'll chime in on the vshojo accusations of my perfect phase connect.
LIES, SLANDER, DECEPTION

Serious answer. I do remember back when they announced the open auditions I was saying it looked like they had the 3 and maybe one dropped out and they tried to fill the spot. At the time when the invaders were mentioned it sounded like they were locked in but then they opened auditions. Maybe one of the holos was an invader and when they got in they told my nigga fishman to eat shit. I think any girl would

I think she was just using "nepo" as a broad brush to differentiate those who go out of their way to apply without any contact with the talents and those who the talents may have put in a good word for or encouraged to apply/reach out to Fishman. Just having some hand in maybe connecting some dots together. I'm not really a fan of using the label "nepo" so casually like that, but I guess it's easier to get your point across rather going into too many detailed explanations. I mean, this is how Lumi, and by extension Yuri, got into Phase themselves.

As you said, at the end of the day, it's Fishman's decision, which she did say, and we know specific examples of people he's turned down at points in time.

 

[NTRAntagonist]

Panko was right, Clio really does look like her mom

I'll joke about it as will others, but it's also used as an attack point because it's usually viewed in a more negative light, which is why I would caution against using it to try and genuinely describe something in a broad manner.

I knew Sleepy was kind of a prude before Phase, and fan artists are having a field day, but I do wonder how she's going to respond to all this considering her new...assets.


Apparently there is some pushback among her existing fans:

[Death by Dishonor]

It really is funny in hindsight how she posted that literal days away from reveal/debut as a corpo. Truly one of the good ones.

These people are being a bit overdramatic, unless she had no input over her model at all, she could have chosen to not have the sports bra toggle at all or the larger chest. That one upskirt clip was seemingly an accident and because it was a pre-set 3d model.
These are women, they change their minds on being attractive or not alot

Sleepy booba mousepads. The sales from that item alone could single handedly fund the next wave of Invaders.

Better yet, you could sell gun cleaning ASMR packs.

I have bad news

Honestly my wife probably would buy those for herself if she saw them for sale.

On the other hand being Twitch-based is why I never watched them before, I only knew of Sleepy from her collabs with Pippa and knew of Clio and MariMari secondhand. I hate YouTube but I hate Twitch even more.

I wouldn't consider that a nepo hire at all, not even Pippa does. People interpret a nepo hire as someone who is hired because of the connection, in spite of others being better candidates. To me, being called a nepo hire is kind of disrespectful, it heavily implies that the person can't get in on their own ability or merits, when lets be real, just because Fishman listens to his talents recommendations, he at the end of the day will pick ones he himself thinks is good, and will ignore them if he disagrees with their recommendations.

"Nepo" has been driven into the ground to the point of being meaningless now. It used to mean hiring someone only because of their connection and that they were grossly unqualified, you can be hired based on your connections but if you're actually good at the job most people don't care. Now it's being used to deride anyone who got a leg up because of a recommendation regardless of their qualifications mostly by jealous people (regardless if they were just as qualified or they dunning-kruggered themselves into thinking they were.)

Women are allowed to change their minds, often happens when they gain confidence.

These people are being a bit overdramatic, unless she had no input over her model at all, she could have chosen to not have the sports bra toggle at all or the larger chest. That one upskirt clip was seemingly an accident and because it was a pre-set 3d model.

Yeah I've lost count of how many VTubers I've seen get a 3D model and playing around with preset poses during a showcase end up flashing the audience at least once (Maeve gave us the full moon even since her model had a thong.) They really should test the poses ahead of time if they're concerned. I wouldn't be surprised if aside from it being theme appropriate Sleepy has shorts so this won't be an issue when she eventually does 3D (I had theorized that Daiya's model might have shorts for this reason as she started doing 3D stuff pretty early on with that low-poly model.)

In the Phase discord, it was one guy crying about NSFW stuff, and one capipi/sleepy fan saying they hate gooners.

 

[Ｍｕｒｒａｙしないで]

She did reveal she was in Sakana's basement for ~two years.

wtf I thought the fish was joking.

Breast augmentation is not considered cosmetic surgery if you need it to stop being thought of as a little boy.
