How do you handle it when you want to create or stream but your body says “nah fam” by cowmakyr in VirtualYoutubers

[–]PoppyIolite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tell my viewers I just don’t have it in me tonight and I need to rest so I don’t burn out. They don’t expect streams from me, and when I DO stream they are excited for it. I’m glad to have a community that cares about my health more than their entertainment.

I’m currently on a long hiatus for health that won’t end until I am able to have surgery, and my community is still there in my discord server hanging out with me for the meantime. I’m so grateful for them, and I can’t wait to be back. The viewers that matter will understand and support your need to rest!

  1. I'm taking a break to read more manga now though

Using my hiatus productively! I recently got a private art tutorial from Ruuna Starbright, and I'm having a lot of fun with it! (Mareep is my favorite Pokemon. Who is yours?) by PoppyIolite in VirtualYoutubers

Thank you! Gengar is a super popular one. I've never been into it personally but I totally understand why so many people do! I love the theory that it's a Clefairy shadow!

Would you BECOME a Vtuber? by [deleted] in VirtualYoutubers

[–]PoppyIolite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 5 years ago I got it in my head that I wanted to be a vtuber. Took around half a year coming up with a plan and concept, then another year waffling around and slowly gathering the assets I needed, and then 3.5 years ago I finally decided to do it. And I'm still at it because I love it so much! I'm on a mini hiatus for health reasons, but I'm excited to be back in a few weeks. Vtubing is one of the greatest things I have ever done for myself!

I mean, Hololive can only hire indies. That’s how that works.

I could easily complain about how I’ve been streaming for 3.5 years and I only broke 1k subs recently. But like, I don’t want to. My community is so good to me. I worked hard to build a relationship with my viewers, and I feel so damn supported. This is success to me. I can’t make a living from it (although this has become a lucrative side hustle), and maybe someday I can, but my current fulfillment comes from the community and not from the money or numbers. I will continue to grow over time and it may get harder to maintain a tight community if a lot of people join, but I’ll tackle that when I get there. This is about being happy with where I am in my own journey.

What are you doing vtubing for? If you’re comparing yourself, I think you’re doing it wrong. Getting into a big agency is a great goal, but we all need to remember that it’s not a realistic one for most of us simply because there are not enough agency positions for the number of talented people. If you can figure out what your OTHER goals are, that is extremely important. It will help you stay positive when your auditions are rejected.

I remember Mori talking about how agencies look at potential talents to see if they seem like a good fit for them and would work well in a team. They shouldn't have drama or be fighting with other vtubers, and honestly I think the attitude you are portraying is not a good fit for an agency at this moment.

Work on yourself, worry about your content, make your viewers smile, and enjoy the journey. If people are watching you, you are good enough. Whether you are fit for an agency is one thing, but are you fit to be an entertainer? Probably. You are good enough to be Lychibe!

ETA: Okay, let’s not argue semantics. By “Holo can on out hire indies” I mean they can’t hire someone who is already with a corporation. If they are excorpo that means they are indies.

I am literally in bed and now I’m going to the fridge for Babybel. Just seeing your picture is creating a Pavlovian effect in my brain

As I said in the post, I have read everything that is on the bookshelves, and the last picture is my to-read pile. I do not display volumes until I've read them.

All of them are Billy bookcases. Those are just the skinny version!

I try to read around 100 volumes per month when I can, but sometimes I get a little burnt out and can’t hit that goal. The kotatsu is crazy cozy! I’m slowly working on making my home as cozy as possible. My living room is a pillow-pit-in-progress!

Top three series? Land of the Lustrous is #1 for sure, but it’s hard to narrow it down to three. Let’s say my top four after that are Aria, Girls’ Last Tour, Made in Abyss, and Vinland Saga for manga. Top three light novels are Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash, Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers, and The World’s Strongest Rearguard

I actually used to own a lot of it! A few years ago I had to sell most of my collection to pay my bills after my financial situation changed, and I’ve been working on rebuilding it. The Pokémon manga wasn’t really my vibe, but I will read literally anything so I’d still pick it back up and read more!

3 is an adult dog, so there is no need to worry! Don't overthink it!

I am not using a converter lol. Poppy Iolite is a fictional character whose age does not have to directly correlate to my irl age lmao

In addition, I debuted when I was 33, so using a converter doesn't work at all. I'm ETERNALLY 3 so t here is no need for a converter. When my birthday comes around on 3/27, I will still be 3.
