I don't know if any one else finally got their Phase Connect art book but in it it states that Lia was supposed to be the flagship. That changed about a year later when the bunny blew up. Now Pippa is the face of the company, despite her best efforts. Slight tangent, there's an old stream of her's where she's talking about Andrew Dobson. In it Yuri pops in to say hello and Pippa explains who Yuri is for chat.I feel like it's worth reminding people that Pippa really feels to me like the kind of person who carries the weight of other people on her shoulders because she comes from a very messed up background and feels a very strong personal connection to anyone else she sees in any even potentially similar situation. People like that will never be objective (and I'm not demanding they should be) because separating their own trauma from the implied trauma of the other person is basically impossible, and they're always going to be torn up over it way more than anyone else.
There's another stream where I think It's Lumi and Pippa where Lumi casually admits that Pippa was trying to get both of them to leave Cyberlive and join Phase Connect sometime before they left Cyberlive, tho that one I'm not sure what it was. Without a doubt this is affecting her. I'm just glad that she didn't give into the dumbasses in her chat begging her to doom post and spill the deets at the end of yesterday's stream.
One of the points that everyone who's spoken about this has said that they had an idea that something was up but no clue about what was going on nor the severity until Sakana pulled the plug. I just really hope the drama baiting dies down early this week.I just feel like heading off any potential 'oooooooooh pippa knows the DEEP LORE here and everyone else is reacting blandly because of IGNORANCE!' rrats.
