Mods can we ban this guy?

Oh, but had the artisan who made me created me instead – a worthy woman... ...I would say "how lucky am I"

Father in heaven who did miracles for our ancestors with fire and water... ...Who would then transform me from a man to woman? Were I only to have merited this being so graced by goodness...

What shall I say? why cry or be bitter? If my father in heaven has decreed upon me and has maimed me with an immutable deformity then I do not wish to remove it. the sorrow of the impossible is a human pain that nothing will cure and for which no comfort can be found. So, I will bear and suffer until I die and wither in the ground. Since I have learned from our tradition that we bless both, the good and the bitter I will bless in a voice hushed and weak: blessed are you [HaShem] who has not made me a woman.

pet peeve that happens more often than you would both think and want

hey do you guys like my new outfit

Hello

Eridians are further behind than humans technologically right? They dont have computers, relativity, quantum mechanics, etc. In fact, Eridians probably dont even know about the Big Bang because their atmosphere would filter out most of the cosmic microwave background radiation we use to detect it. On a human timeline, theyre anywhere between like early-mid 20th century. Rocky's basically a cosmonaut.

So the human civilization is pretty advanced from Rocky's perspective. Rationally he understands this. On a conceptual level he knows this to be true.

Like imagine being a modern day sailor navigating the Pacific with GPS and strong hulls to protect against the raging ocean. And from portside you see like an honest to god viking ship. Except its made of some high tech carbon fiber material. But like, its still very definitely a viking ship. You can clearly see there's 24 oars along the hull where sailors are supposed to use to manually row their ship. Also the ship is leaking and theres like one little dude on board whos skittering around patching the holes constantly. Also this little dude is blind and doesnt know about water. Thats how insane Eridians look being an interstellar species without computers or radiation shielding.

Tumblr user @sexy-people-contests-2026 posts the first round of their tumblr sexy jester/clown poll bracket. Entries were collected via community form, in which a user submitted vtuber Gavis Bettel.

April 3

Cover Corporation (parent company of Hololive Production) announces that they are downsizing their male vtuber branch, Holostars. Company support is almost entirely pulled from their 12 Japanese talents. Fans of their 10 English talents worry that they could be next on the chopping block. A larger discussion on how these talents are marketed by the company also begins.

April 7

Bettel wins his first round against Laughing Jack and moves onto the next round. In this next match up he is put against Shadow Milk Cookie from Cookie Run Kingdom.

April 8

Gavis Bettel hits 200k subscribers on YouTube.

April 9

Twitter users are made aware of the poll. Users start coming back to their old tumblr accounts or create new ones to start voting for Bettel.

April 10

Bettel becomes aware of the poll.

He also becomes a popular pick for people who are mad at the writing decisions made in Cookie Run Kingdom.

People also start making joke ship art between Bettel and Shadow Milk (bettelmilk)

April 15

Bettel wins the second round and moves on to round three.

In this round he is put against Pomni from The Amazing Digital Circus.

He talks about the poll bracket on his Week in Review stream and admits he has never used tumblr. Viewers inform him of classic tumblr memes and stories. He also asks the social media team from Bandai Namco America (they often appear in his chat) to get on their defunct tumblr to vote for him (they can't access the account).

April 18

Bettel has an unarchieved karaoke stream to celebrate 200k subscribers, the runner of the of the polls tunes in.

April 19

The official Holostars EN twitter and Instagram accounts make ominous posts about the poll since they are unable to directly link to it due to company policy.

April 20-21

Bettel makes one last rallying cry to see if he can get people to vote for him. He receives endorsements from other vtubers including Elira Pendora, Shu Yamino, and Yu Q. Wilson.

The illustrator for his vtuber model, Senzaki Makoto, also becomes aware of the poll and says she will draw him if he wins the bracket.

April 22

With a rally of support from across the vtuber fan sphere, Bettel is able to beat Pomni.

⅓ cup water

5 ⅓ teaspoon half and half

17.5 teaspoons of edible glitter

2 tablespoons plus 0.85 teaspoons of lavender syrup

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon of honey

Regarding other channels they have, generally it's a 'if you know you know' thing.

Fuwamoco's pre-hololive idol performances are up, watching enough clips of them and youtube will start recommending these other girls that sound exactly like them, and generally their fans just leave ;) type comments on those old vids which is fine.

Calliope Mori doesn't officially plug her other music... but like... listening to her on any music app, look at compilations and up next recommendations and note how there's another artist included in there who has the exact same voice.

It's not something you should bring into a space where we're celebrating their current persona. And especially not something you bring to THEM. It can be used for if you want to see more of the person's work, but there's a space for connecting past lives and current incarnations, and it's not in the general discussion of them now, and generally it isn't something to dwell upon.

This (though not as strongly, imo) also goes for reincarnation (a vtuber retiring and re-debuting a new persona). If they're trying to have less connection to their older work, let them build their own space. Sometimes because the owner of the character IP is actually the company they used to work for, other times it's just because they want to start fresh. (Senzawa / Gura / Saba is an example of both, acutally. She could have just gone back to posting as Senzawa, but decided to start anew with Saba instead.)

For a while after Saba debuted I kept seeing people spam 'GAWR GURA' in her chat like can you exist in the here and now pls.

(There's a separate talk to be had about what kind of NDAs talents are put under but that is something where the company should be scrutinized, and not just the talents and fans called weird for the choices executives who don't even listen to them are making.)

And as for bringing up their irl side / personal life... it's really none of the audience's business.

Part of vtuber appeal is the fantasy and fantastical elements to it, that they can BE ANYTHING within this creative space. Like yeah we know they aren't actual anime people or mythical creatures or whatever.

weeee
