"Nothing to see here move along." -Skyrim Guard, circa: 4E, 200.

Upon request, this poll is pitting the losers of the last round against each other so we can figure out the 3rd place holder of this contest

full archive/vod of the stream the clip is from

Special shout out to Tumblr's Sexy Jester 2026 Gavis Bettel's playthrough doing the same challenge with his viewers earlier today (I haven't run into clips of this stream so I'm posting the full archive/vod).

He works super hard to build his platform on YouTube, and to help build up HOLOSTARS ENGLISH, the VTuber group that he is currently working in. Even with his misgivings about corporations, he decided to step out of his comfort zone and try something new, including singing on stage with his gen-mates! You can watch their concert for free in this link here:

He also tried his hand at making a cover from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, which you can listen to here:

He of course picked a Shadow so because he's so tough, edgy, and cool like that.

If that weren't enough, his hand cams are also super creative! He really tries to make them as entertaining as possible and goes all out with the decor. This hand cam stream was probably my first impression of him (I can't quite remember how I got into the Ruzader fandom, haha!):

He also has a ton more, including one where he dressed as a maid (on his model and IRL, because CRIMZON RUZE ALWAYS COMMITS TO THE BIT!):

Showcasing more of his hard work, he spent literal months working on a D&D campaign that he and other members of HOLOSTARS EN could participate in, and if anyone couldn't make a session, no worries! They can see who is available & work their character into the plot for that session.

ALSO, since his debut, the Ruzaders have worked to create amazing group projects, including a cocktail book, a compilation of short stories, and even a whole compendium reminiscent of a D&D hand book based on HOLOSTARS EN lore... AND RUZE HAS PRINTED HARD COPIES OF ALMOST EVERY PROJECT THAT HE HAS RECEIVED! He shows off some of his printed books in this stream:

Vote Ruze if you can he's got the spirit of a gremlin but he's very thoughtful and considerate OR better yet go follow him on youtube or bluesky or twitter if you still use that horror alley. He's an RP nerd who doesn't like scary stuff but played a horror game to uphold a promise to his fans. He's got three cats he loves, and just recently showcased his love of bugs! Having him win this poll would be awesome, but if you can't vote for him, but want to support a really supportive guy go throw him a follow on youtube or his socials. Some clips/streams of his content and why you should follow him:

He has a whole character lore he's been developing since he debut, of his axe carrying alters/personas of himself. They pop up sparingly at first making it like a fan activity to try and piece together their personalities and lore. Since it has been about 3 years since his debut, we've had a better understanding but the archiving still goes on. He's done things like have his alters do voice lines or be in games like tomodachi life, but a personal favorite are his Ruzebow (Spectrum of characters, since they each have a defining color to them) Karaoke, where he voice acts as each karacter singing songs. When the Actor/Talent debut as Crimzon Ruze he didn't focus on singing, but since then has been training to sing, because the company he is contracted under is mostly known for "Idol" stuff, which has some over lap with sining. He's improved a lot, but is still learning. 🖍️ I could only find this Ruzebow Karaoke on short notice, but for a better idea of what I was describing (starts around 5:00):

His branch of English Male Identifying Vtubers had their first concert for free, of which you can find him sporting his Idol outfit, and singing with his English Holostars Co-Workers. (Timestamps for Ruze singing parts below the link, there are some cutscenes inbetween the singing to world build the HoloStars lore for those interested in character lore.)

The Holostars EN recently announced their 2nd concert later this year!!(please please check it out when it pops up so the Stars EN can keep having chances to do these types of events for the fans and their own goals.)

Ruze started a whole podcast for non serious advice called MADvice, despite the podcast premise being meant to be very unserious and the advice meant to be horrible on purpose, we get a better understanding of the Hosts (rotating Holostars EN minus Ruze) per episode. The latest episode being about Siblings, so they had 3 types of siblings (Hakka-purple-oldest but shortest Brother, Ruze-red/black-middle child, Mr. Sexy-Jester-Tumblr-Man Gavis Bettel-Purple/Pink-Older Twin). Clips after full episode link (horse family fanfiction in that clip, second clip from a separate clip):

Ruze Clips to better understand him as Ruze roasts himself.

link to an earlier collage of posts and descriptions I made earlier on this poll contest covering how: he's very supportive of his fans, and an ally to the queer community, him being a cat dad, an an unhelpful guide to HoloStars EN-the male branch of vtubers he's a part of, and a cover song of one of his favorite songs his fans collaborated to make for his stage sake birthday date as Crimzon Ruze.

Ruze holding up his end of the bargain after getting to 100k and playing a scary game with heart monitor on the side (second link is highlight clip.). I remember at one point he was too scared to go out of his "shack" into his seperate bathroom. :

Ruze Clips to better understand him as Ruze roasts himself.

sometimes I’m reminded that there are still people who don’t know ao3 was literally created by incest shippers — and the site’s sole purpose is to 1. be completely against censorship and 2. host all kinds of dark, taboo fics that are banned on other platforms — and the first ever fic that was posted on ao3 was a fic about an incest ship from supernatural.

you are in the house that was created by freaks. for freaks (affectionate). every disgusting thing you can think of is rightfully allowed and welcomed on ao3, because they are exactly the reasons why ao3 was created in the first place.

ao3 was created because its creators got tired of censorship, they got tired of dark and taboo fics getting banned on pro-censorship platforms, and they wanted a place that was safe for ALL FICS THAT WERE DARK AND TABOO.

ao3’s main principle is being against censorship and being proship / profic.

there are some things in fiction that make me uncomfortable, but instead of shaming people who are just minding their own business and not harming anyone in real life, I choose to curate my own internet experience by blocking/muting what I don’t want to see. ao3 has excellent tagging system, so instead of being a bitch, use their tagging system properly and you won’t see the things you don’t want to see.

it’s your job to curate what you see. it’s not other people’s jobs or responsibilities to censor themselves for your personal comfort. the world does not revolve around you.

also you cannot censor “only the things you personally hate” without expecting everything else, that isn’t of conservative beliefs, to be censored too. because censorship is a slippery slope and a fascist tool. I promise you there are people who think “why do tags for queer love even exist on ao3? they’re grooming children”.

if you allow the things that you hate to be censored — because someone with enough power gets to control what other people can and cannot create/consume, it will not stop at the things that you hate.

bestie boo, let me fill you in on something: if you're going to take any part of 'good grammar' and randomly assign it to She's A Witch! AI, you might as well give up. It's over. You're cooked. Anyone who has spent the last decade or more learning to type properly, anyone who has spent any time writing articles/papers/essays that require you to use 'good grammar' is going to fall into that 'oh no it might be AI' trap.
