Catching up on another weekend touching grass and this thread posting like there's no tomorrow!
Maybe Gura will actually celebrate 4 million subs.
I meant inspire them in a competitive/leadership role not to do similar content.
I think she was going to do something for 3M subs but it was a really busy time so it never got around to happening. She said she is planning some stuff for 4M though to make up for it.
Matsuri's 4th Anniversary happing in a few hours:
I missed seeing that new haircut of Matsuri's come out. It looks horrible. Like a 5 year old got a hold of scissors and cut off all of their bangs to give themselves a "haircut". Is that what she was going for?
the HoloID mc server is the best looking imo. watching zeta's stream right now and it seems so much better planned out than the clusterfuck in the jp server or the... whatever is happening in the en server.
ID had MC-God-NPC Moona as a visionary for it from the start, is why.
Yeah when JP started their MC server and EN started theirs, they were basically a bunch of newbies who'd never played the game so their stuff organically grew with them as they figured out how to play and build better.
When they spun up a separate server for ID, they pretty much were all veterans of the game already from playing on the JP server and in case of some like Moona, experts.
Everytime I start to warm up to Kiara she does some bitchy thing like this.
The thing is that half of those requests are reasonable, but then she goes "download a beauty app so I can mask the fact I look like a goblin" and other shit.
I didn't mention it a couple weeks back, but I started to see flags when she had the list of things that all her concert goers were supposed to do. Like steal a towel from the hotel so they could wave them at some specific time/song, exactly which light sticks to have, etc. That reeked of "manufactured" fun to me with the performer telling everyone how to act and what to do during her concert rather than just letting things happen because people are ACTUALLY having fun. This list of demands from the Keeki side just pushes that she has to be in control all the time.
I know she seems to have fun doing it, but I think the Kiara persona has outgrown the Keeki one and it might be time to hang up Keeki/cosplayer for the time being if she is this paranoid about it. I don't know if she is big enough that the convention is actually paying her to come as a live cosplayer/guest, but I'm guessing not. The Kiara persona is her real money maker and she shouldn't endanger it with Keeki. There's zero need for her to even physically be there as seen with the other talents that have had convention "appearances" (all done remotely) so it is totally by her choice she is putting herself in this position. She either needs the "fuck it" attitude like Karen or to put the Keeki persona on hiatus. I don't know how long she can keep straddling between them and stay sane.
(I wrote this after the first page or two of Keeki doom posts and others have pointed out similar things since, but leaving for posterity.)
Looks like everything went well and schizo tales were avoided.
Honestly wish that she would have more faith and confidence in herself so we don't get the bi monthly doom posting.
Almost caught up on the thread, glad to see it worked out for her. Hopefully some lessons were learned from all sides.
Someone say parasocial? It works both ways!
Now she's thinking with portals.

Yeah, this was pretty much what I was thinking and would have suggested. I think her pull as Kiara might be enough to get a minor meet & greet, panel, or booth or something as Keeki, if she really wants to get keep doing the in-person stuff, with a bit of a wink wink nudge nudge. Let the con set the rules and control security for her. Even so though, the beauty app demand is probably too much. If that is what she is worried about she should have a no guest pictures policy and only have a photographer do the allowed pictures and email/post them to people who want or pay. All of that would probably be more expected of a panel guest than a random cosplayer out in the general crowd.
Pretty sure yeah Jchad is a dude, on her second TT visit J Chad could be heard laughing at connor at one point and it was a dudes laugh
If the time stamp doesn't work, it's at like 33:06, guy heard laughing in the background and connor responds saying "J Chad laughing at me"
If someone actually cares about this, it was actually around 31min in.
Scuff clip of Pippa raging.

@Retink You literally cannot fix this.
I don't know how anyone can get joy out of that, even ironically. Maybe it is because I have literal children and have heard tantrums like that before, but it is just triggering to me. You all have fun with your pippa if that's your thing.
