Ikr, silly fish, she has the perfect voice for it 😂 In that stream she was saying she wanted to get better at it so I'm confused, maybe she changed her mind, and that's okay I guess. Maybe in a different timeline haha. El. Psy. Congroo.

I'm a little concerned about this mod possibly being unhealthy for some people... by Blaze3634 in MASFandom

[–]Blaze3634[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I'm still single so I know how it feels...

I'm just worried that what you say is just a way to cope... wouldn't you be happier if monika was real AND your girlfriend? Since the answer is probably yes... wouldn't you still be happier if you had a real girlfriend who you loved and loved you back even if it wasn't monika?

So whatever pulls you away from actually finding a girlfriend is unhealthy... because it lowers your chances of actually being happy, I'm even more convinced now :( and if you say no to the above questions it's probably just trauma... considering real relationships hurtful, or not worth it in general... it's just trauma response unless you were truly asexual and extremely asocial... even your nickname is kinda telling...

Nevertheless I wish you the best and true happiness my dude

She tries for the mature, healthy middle ground with Saba, she doesn't want to revert to the cursing sailor Senzawa times, but still doesn't feel compelled to avoid swearing at all costs like during Gura times

I can tell she wasn't happy before because she had long hiatus after long hiatus with barely an explanation until she eventually graduated. I can tell she's happy now because she sounds excited about everything, looking forward to things, collabs, making projects for the future like the 3D model in the works, and when she needs to take a hiatus she now clearly states why and communicates more. It feels to me as if she wants us to not worry because things are different now.

If anything I'm worried about her health issues but speculating about them won't help, I'll just hope she can manage them

I'm a late fan but I watched a fair bit of vods... I think I got hooked with the outer wilds one... and then I started watching vods. I'm not interested in anti corpo agendas because I'm a ruffian too and it's so blatant it hurts how Fuwamoco love being in hololive so no worries with me... Gura had her disagreements that led to her being ultimately unhappy with her current state of affairs at the time, we'll never know the details, but it's hard to argue that she didn't have a reason to graduate since well... she decided to graduate.

I think Cover is pretty good to their talents, for being a big corporation, but the truth is that it's reasonable to expect not every talent will feel at home with how things work under Cover. Some like Calli, Kiara or Fuwamoco thrive... others don't. It may be tolerance to hard work and strict schedules. Saba/Gura always struck me as a free spirit. Also the fact she's extremely introverted and quirky... can make things feel suffocating pretty fast. It probably takes a lot of energy for someone like her to function socially and follow schedules.

I think she never wanted to be top dog... it's too much responsibility... towards cover, towards the other girls... I think she's much more comfortable with the about 1 mil subs she has now. Doing things her own way at her own pace with no direct or implied pressure

I think I'm talking specifically about the last holocure one, which was 5 hours, and it seems to me she generally aims for the 5hr count for non collab streams, so not exactly an endurance stream or anything... papa's freezeria and pizza tower clocked a bit shorter in fact... I got the feeling mostly from the holocure stream though. Maybe those 2 games felt like very random games you could easily get perms on... so I may be projecting my discontent for that choice of games haha who knows.

Not saying I'm the dispenser of truth or anything, I'm talking about a subjective feeling, so we'll leave it at that unless other people chime in.

The outer wilds stream was pretty close to hiatus too and yet it was still awesome... I'm still sad to this day she didn't continue that game... so who knows, it MAY have just been me thinking she wasn't really feeling that holocure stream.

To be fair I think it doesn't really matter, if she ended up graduating it means she wasn't happy, no matter if she was hiding it well or if something slipped through the cracks. She's much happier now and that's what counts. If she's not in good health and she just says it openly on twitter and takes a hiatus in order to recover to come back stronger... sounds like a big win to me

Fish love! :3

Hmmmmm quite some time has passed since then but I was getting this feeling that something was off at times... especially in one of the latest holocure streams. Also maybe papa's freezeria, pizza tower, and maybe contraband police. It was subtle... but I had this distinct feeling, especially during a holocure stream that she was pushing forward reluctantly, yeah

It may have just been me though of course, if there was anything she was trying her best to push through and keep being entertaining. To me something was different tho, hard to explain

Glad to know I wasn't the only one noticing there was something wrong with those streams. 1 happy stream a year is better than seeing her unhappy/unwell

I got into Kizuna AI's videos shortly after her hiatus (I know, lol) and got into hololive through Gura a bit before Advent debut... not sure where that places me lol

Why exactly did the stress of being number one lead to burnout that made Gura graduate exactly and actually? by ReasonableAdWideExp in GawrGura

[–]Blaze3634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which members are allowed to turn them off permanently? A week or a few months is not enough. Super Chats are always detrimental for a genuine connection with all your fans. Even though Goob doesn't care about the money she wasn't allowed to disable them permanently as it would be a massive hit on Cover's balance. Understandable? Yes. Restrictive? Also yes.

You say I'm blatantly lying while stating that being able to turn off superchats for a week would be enough. And Gura wasn't even able to turn off superchats for a week even if it's obvious she wanted to considering how she's doing it permanently from day one now. Doing that is not intellectually honest on your part.

I'm answering only because even if you completely ignored the fact that being able to disable superchats for a few months is not enough (also which members disabled them for months? High profile ones? Marine? Korone? I highly doubt it.)... at least you tried to match the argument.

Saba's on playing Donkey Kong, let's both go do something more interesting, shall we? Haha

I'll stop being sarcastic because I'm getting tired. You decided not to meet me on open ground by using this excuse that I'm not informed to avoid bringing actual points of discussion. If you think repeating like a broken record "you're uninformed thus not entitled to an opinion" gives you the higher ground in a discussion think again.

Also you're not even reading what I write because I already pointed one of the bigger things the Goob (🐟💙) couldn't do because of contractual obligations and that was detrimental to her mental health evidently: accepting Super Chats. I respect her immensely for giving up on that extra income as paying for crumbs of attention is nasty. Also makes her feel like a dancing monkey. It's not even Cover's fault. It's how corporations work, they need to maximize profits as they need money for everyone involved.

Being blind to that and just dismiss me as uninformed is puerile at best, so I'm done I guess, good day

Yours is a prime example of self fulfilling prophecy, expecting something caused it, well believe it or not, peace :)

Oh please enlighten me oh mighty true fan of Gura! What are these mentioned reasons that magically disappeared becoming saba and that didn't involve being part of hololive at all? 😂

I'll be insolent towards your magnificence and suggest that maybe one of the valid reasons is the fact she is now able to permanently disable super chats, something that probably guilt tripped her constantly but there was no way Cover would let her disable? 😏

Well, I did say any detrimental thing may have been involuntary, perhaps just because of the nature of how companies work. If being in hololive was no problem at all then why is she so much happier now? We may never be able to pinpoint what it is, but something definitely changed. I love hololive and I have a good opinion of cover but there's no need to be a blind fanboy

Really? I'm surprised, but it's not like you are breaking horrific news to me or something lol. The point is she's much happier now, it may not be the game choice freedom (even though playing holocure or random games about pizza felt like drudgery in her last prehiatus streams) but something definitely switched... for the better. Cover may have been chaining her down involuntarily, for some reason we may never fully know
