General Discussion for Virtual Youtubers / Vtubers / Chuubas - it's okay to be a simp for 2D, just don't thirstpost.

I'm gonna numberfag a little bit because honestly I think her accomplishments have flown massively under the radar this last year or so.

Tokoyami Towa was the undisputed 'bottom' of Hololive in sub count in the days leading up to her 3D debut. If I remember correctly, she had about 170K subs, was 40K behind Himemori Luna (210K), and was cursed with a 3D debut slot that overlapped with a huge Nijisanji event that stifled her ability to reach the same live viewer counts as the ones that came before her.

Now, over a year later, Towa hits 820K subs and is now in the same 'bracket' as the likes of Ookami Mio, Murasaki Shion, Tokino Sora, and is clawing back the deficit of the Gen 5 'buff' now that she's within spitting distance of Lamy and Polka (823K and 826K respectively) despite the former once having a 50K sub lead on her.

I don't mean to make this a competition because it isn't, I'm using these numbers to signpost the 'Mother of all Inclines' Towa has enjoyed in 2021. She's undoubtedly been the Dark Horse of this year: hosting multiple MK8 tournaments, participating in all sorts of collabs and consistently making the roster for large APEX competitions, her work ethic has been unbelievable and is worthy of a little limelight.

fml Scuttle.. I was just thinking this, or rather as I was just listening through her cover/music playlist again. (Ofc, I am also biased because Towa is up there for me). I think the post of her recent cover (down below in the spoiler for you lazy kiwis) got me really thinking about Towa.

In my opinion, Towa is the comeback story of Hololive: she does a yabe, almost gets cancelled by deranged gachikois who still believe in the sanctity of idorus (her lying about what happened, that's debatable and something only a proper jury can decide on), returns, carves her own lil corner, and keeps on smashing things out like she's been doing it all her life. She's the example of "What If" had Aloe not decided to graduate (ofc, we will never know if Aloe would've gone off the deep end or if like Towa, manages to weather the storm and set her own course. And I know, I know, Aloe fagging is dumb and autistic but if one purple haired demon could pull through, what's to say the other couldn't?).

If you told me years ago that today I would be willing to shank a fucker for disrespecting this nasally sounding anime demon-angel who when decides to belt it out you wouldn't believe it's the same person (plus a case of voice not matching the facedox), I would've said you need to see a psych and/or reevaluate your life. Now here's some Towa stuff as thanks for coming to my TEDtalk on Towa:

On a side note.. I feel like 4th Gen of Hololive is the Generation of Strife and Perserverance. Think about it (and I may not remember everything shitty that has happened to them):
Kanata: being poor and losing her hearing
Watame: had a shitty father
Towa: she almost got axed by deranged gachis
Luna: well.. she's got shitty stamina but she tries
Coco: bless this shitposting, foulmouthed, bigtiddy orange dragon. We all know her history and if she's not an example of shitty things happening and making the best of it, even silently hard carrying it, idk what is.

And yes, you can argue which generation deserves that title more. Hololive is just a front for Yagoo's Center for the Rehabilitation of Broken/Sad Anime people.

Man, today's one of those days where I just can't keep my mouth shut from sperging out.

Precious sheep streams for hours on daily basis until 4-5 am and still watches HoloEN afters that (plus recording sessions, dance and singing lessons, other projects during the day). I really wished they would care more about their on health, this can't be healthy in the long run. It's crazy


I'll second that. It feels like they are playing MC around the clock (even offstream) and that is no exaggeration

Some people are just built different (Seriously). For some girls the 7-12 hour streams is as simple as just gaming and talking for 12 hours, where others' can't sit or talk that long without experiencing some sort or pain or discomfort. That could lead to complications if they aren't careful.

Maybe she doesn't have much to do outside of streaming (besides the idol stuff) thus messes her body clock + she talks and eats chips, and maybe still get enough sleep before her idol stuff, then her streams.
Sassy Shark about to pull some real shit if she didn't stop:
I can imagine her comparing her standing to that gold membershrimp lmao

Speaking of Sassy, aside from the time they emailed Null over her, no one mentions Ashelia here very much. She has points where she puts on this weird sassy mode and sometimes it backfires. One time I was watching her show cursed food and someone says "this makes me want to kill myself" to which she impulsively snapped back "no one is stopping you!" Followed by a quick realization of what she just said and "oh no no no no no I didn't mean that!"

I find her pretty funny at times but I like absurd shit so maybe that's why.

Oh baby a off Collab of Irys x Cali on the 19th October. Now that could be a barrel of laughs to witness. You heard it here first, they just casually mentioned on Cali MC Stream.

TakaMori is dying, MorIRyS/CallIRyS (or whatever the fuck it is) will live. Imagine them going for Jiro Ramen, or even the shit TakaMori has done lmao

Sassing back against chat is something Council is yet to learn. Gura's the best at it since her chat is pretty fucking retarded.

She's even letting loose a little, which makes it more fun to laugh at the retards in chat

IRyS fits in perfectly with everyone, is what I'm learning from the current minecraft marathon.

What I have been saying too. Alone, she's quite entertaining. In collab, she's amazing. She can bounce off anyone and complement them. Brining more of their personality out and give them the spotlight, while at the same time doesn't turn herself into a yes-man or a wall-flower. Any collab with her, scheduled or accidental, has been really great. I particular like ReineIRyS and TimeRyS. Their mutual teasing mechanic is very amusing to watch live. The power of being one of the few that doesn't have innate social autism.

Cover making their own BoTW/Genshin clone

My random theory to add to yours is more like BoTW/Genshin/VRChat/Gacha/Co-op hybrid game...something like that. It's probably Yagoo's ultimate endgame goal for Hololive and it's funny how this concept kind of relates to neverland if you think about it.

If they do make small profitable games right now, that's going to make a shit ton of pocket money to fund other projects. Another concept - Cover makes their own streaming platform (specifically only for Hololive) that cuts out YouTube taking the share from SC.
