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

Pretty sure its Luca.
you were right
Nah, I have no shame. <3

I'm literally watching Luxiem right now, and just for that I'm going to tell you about my oshi among my hako-oshi!

Luca is a twitch-speaking goofball who's grill voice is cuter than my normal voice, and that's what people that don't watch him or only watch casually know.

But he's also like, dedicated to entertaining and his chat. I'm pretty sure his average stream time is 4 or 5 hours, he does a zatsu after every stream. He loves Nijisanji, and is constantly speaking affectionately about his branch mates. His constant encouragement (you can just pog!) is so infectious that I actually believe in myself sometimes. Balancing the line between yab and seiso, he knows what he's doing but still gets flustered easily.

I always get fed when voice packs come out, he's already done two covers, and still wants to so much more. If having an oshi means to push and support someone, I want to do that for him like he does for me just by making me smile and laugh every day.
Luca's my NijiMale oshi so BASED. You said almost everything I would've but there is stuff I can add. Like he's genuinely hilarious and his way of speaking spread to all of NijiEN because of his sheer energy and enthuasism. Plus his singing voice is so fantastic. It's funny originally the constant "pog" saying annoyed me but now it's endearing.
Selen's laugh is infectious
How could I forget to mention her wonderful laugh.

Anyway I want to tell you about my HoloID oshi. The true bearer of the "one of us" label; Kureiji Ollie.

She was the first HoloID member I ever watched. She's really funny with her memes and her constant horniness. She truly earns the label of "one of us" because of how much she simps for the other members of HoloLive and Holostars. Not just that but she simps some of her own fans, she's such a supportive person to not just her friends but her fans too. Her energy and happiness is wonderful and she's also quite talented with her amazing singing and fantastic drawing. And she remains humble and grateful, so happy to be given so much support despite feeling like she's "just a normal zombie".
 
I don't really get the controversy of Pippa learning Chinese, unless she starts making statements about how the glory of Pooh Bear needs to be defended. China is a huge economy and most of the people are reasonably chill, it's just they're ruled by a dictatorship that can go from rather open like under Hu Jintao to complete lunacy like under current leadership which caused a lot of foreigners who lived there and liked it to leave. Though as a whole freedom hasn't been in the vogue for some time now and governments all around the world continue to try to fuck their people more and more, because fuck government and to quote Pippa "No! No, government!"


Good ol' Designer Dave, saving the world from school shooters by arguing with nerds on the internet about fictional characters.
She's gonna learn Chinese to sing 反共抗俄歌
 
Pippa can barely speak English, I dont buy this "learning another language" thing.
She probably said it to rattle people.
Maybe she's trying to find the one that works for her, though if that was the case she should turn to programming and learn to code in Lisp. :story:

Though if she does learn other languages I wonder if all the adorable autism noises she makes will be different depending on the language.
 
@Slutpuppies made me log in during my holiday with her post, so here I go: obviously, my oshi is Ollie aka screaming zombie. She wears her heart on a sleeve, even when it's against her own good, and is very genuine in everything she does. She might be thirsty/pervy like Marine one day, then turn quite bashful and out herself as a helpless romantic. She's trusting and hopeful, sharing her dreams and fears with her fans. Despite her many talents and undeniable success, she maintains a girl-next-door bubbly personality, humbly welcoming every 2view indie that happens to post something in her chat. Even when she fucks something up, she puts an effort to not make the same mistake twice. I'd wager the only thing that keeps me from going full parasocial is awareness that she's much younger than me and I'd feel like a pedo.
 
Most vtubers stand above their audience; I love Akuma Nihmune because she puts herself on the same level or even below them. A lot of people talk about how their oshi gives their all, but Numi really does put absolutely everything she's got into her streams: embarrassing stories, eating hot foods, calling up friends and making embarrassing confessions, having her dad on stream, posting her body, even famously sending her biggest fan her gym socks in her early days.
She does less gaming than most, a lot of chatting, which involves the audience a lot and again makes it feel like more of an equal conversation (especially with her audience still being fairly small, although it's grown a lot since I started). But she somehow keeps finding new things to talk about so every stream feels different. And she's actually a legitimately good musician too, even though that doesn't show up on stream so much.
And yeah the coomer talk is also part of the appeal, but for me it's all part of being relatable: she's just as horny (and submissive) as I am, but just as awful at putting it into practice, even looking as good as she does. She manages to be simultaneously an attractive woman and one of the bros.
So yeah. Talented but relatable, down to earth and unpretentious, willing to suffer and put everything on the line for her fans. I know this thread hates coomertubers but that's my one and only oshi.
I learned about Nimu while Offkai was happening. She had been streaming for a bit and originally I learned from her from Nagzz because she had an IRL video that showed her abs or some shit. Her excessive coombaiting filters me hard especially since she seems to collab often with Bao and Shylily and out of the 3 she is the one that possibly coombaits he hardest. If I was 15 years younger then sure, i would get the appeal.

Followed by Vesper and Kronii, because I like to listen to chill (sfw) zatsudans while I am at work and they fit the bill perfectly.
Have you tried Erina from Phase Connect gen 2? She has the Kronii vibes going for her. She was currently playing Hollow Knight and its super chill to listen to.

Not like I don't have plenty of studying to do or games on my backlog to sift through, but a whole week with no streams from Enna, Millie, Elira, and Rosemi is going to be rough on my 'things to watch in the background while I do stuff' schedule.
Adopt a small corpo or an indie.

Snuffy's original model was a cotton candy colored Cat girl that she won via some auction I believe. So it was more a convenience than some model she truly wanted. The joke was her personality never fit her model because of how cutesy it was, and that she was secretly a raccoon who put on makeup to pretend to be a more popular cat girl vtuber. So she rolled with that lore, and changed to a raccoon model. Which, I think we can all agree, was a massive improvement and much cooler aesthetically.

She started with the 3D model, but has since gotten Live2D models, and gotten tons of alternate models in that time as well.

Largely though, she's a relatively innocent pot smoking degen who just has ADHD when it comes to her model. She started as a pettan character, so the current model is more in line with her OG design than the Smilfy model was. Not everyone's bag I know, but I enjoy catching her every once in a while.

On the subject of vTubers who like changing models, it's Mousey's Five year anniversary tonight, and she's been teasing either a new model with lots of modes, or several new models. Going to probably end up catching that tonight.

She originally teased it all the way back in January.
That 1st Raccon 3d model she did I think fits her the most. I like the new design but to me it just doesn't match her.

She has the interview with Sakana and Michael from Wonders this Friday we'll likely be able to learn more then. If Sakana has worked out some long term partnership or exclusivity deal with Wonders this could be a serious boon for Phase and it's talents, especially if Wonders ends up licensing the characters (and voices) for the line of personal AI "idols" they have been dropping hints about and mention on their web site.
Really looking forward to that interview.

Pippa can barely speak English, I dont buy this "learning another language" thing.
She probably said it to rattle people.
She can barely do hiragana but seems to be looking for ways to learn it. Shes not doing so well though which makes me think Chinese will be a nightmare for her.
 
Oshi talk:
HoloEN
IRyS
Sums it up.

Sana and Fauna are up there, too. Sana was a super weirdo like IRyS. Probably even more weird. She was my oshi for a long time, but I never talked about her because I figured no one cared about or liked her. Fauna is just comfy and very well-spoken, which makes her a joy to listen to.

ID:
Kaela and Zeta are super comfy. Zeta gets bonus points for being like a spicy Fauna. Kaela is a secret weirdo, for sure, but also a super comfy endurance streamer.

JP:
Lui is a hard worker and also a weirdo. I guess I really like weirdos.
Subaru is just super hard working and very endearing. Gap moe is strong.

Niji:
Pomu and Selen, because yeah, they are always a good time. They are also the perfect comedy duo, as can be seen in basically any collab with the two. Also Pomu karaoke is always amazing for multiple reasons.

Not-Sana sperging. Technically not VTuber related anymore, I guess.
Speaking of not-Sana, Namie is back active on her socials after a break since her Holo graduation. Hopefully her time as Sana will not be the last we see of her as a streamer, even if she ends up not streaming often.

New art posted to YT based on her Arknights characters

Arknights has some kind of collab going on where the characters get related themed food, so this is some art if her characters enjoying said food.
 
I'd wager the only thing that keeps me from going full parasocial is awareness that she's much younger than me and I'd feel like a pedo.
A bunch of us Capippalists are old enough to be Pippa's dad, so we take the retarded internet daughter approach and constantly reprimand her about her life choices.
Drink more water and less soda, you fool woman.
