I’ve been wanting to draw this scene for so long because of how funny and cool it was 😂

Also, I wanted to experiment drawing freely without being so picky about perspective and other stuff _(:3 」∠)_

Okay dreamer, since you seem to be the local expert on v-tubers, here's a question for you that came up in my chat today. What does shipping V-Tubers avatars count as? Is it real people? Is it fictional characters? Some nebulous realm between them? From my understanding I get that V-tubers are somewhat like, idol characters that play an exaggerated part but are obviously to a degree still the actors streaming. But they have invented backstories and what not? Truly, the idols of the new era...

Ok this is aiming a rifle at the elephant in the room, but I’m glad we got it in our iron sights because I myself have had thoughts about this. I’m going to preface all of this by saying that this is my opinion and how I see things.

Basically, it’s a very nebulous area where you have to proceed on a case to case basis, if you ask me, because it’s shipping real people, which normally makes me uncomfortable, but when it comes to vtubers, not really because they tend to be ok with it. Allow me to elaborate: It’s less that vtubers are characters or exaggerated “personas” as much as they are, simply enough, paper dolls that serve as faces for what very much amount to otherwise regular streamers. Vtubers tend to have backstories, but these are often simply character settings that the streamers use for quick jokes when interacting with a new streamer for the first time in a collab and are otherwise at complete liberty of ignoring it altogether. For example, Tsukino Mito (Nijisanji 1st Gen) is supposed to be a very diligent, prim and proper Student Council President. Mito is, in practice, a really funny and spontaneous streamer who once said “man, if your friend shits their pants in class, then you go and shit your own damn pants, too, you gotta shoulder that together, that builds attitude, it’s what friends are supposed to do”, once regaled us with her fascination with the movie “The Human Centipede”, and makes thumbnails like this:

Usada Pekora (Hololive 3rd Gen) is a similar example: Her backstory is that she’s a very shy and pure bunny girl from a magical land called Pekoland. In practice, Pekora is known among vtubers and fans alike for being an explosive brute that loves to prank others and tends to be very crass and loud, often screaming “ORA TEME, KUSOGAKI DA!” (roughly and in essence “Take that, you bastard, you shitty brat!”) and the like when playing games with others and mocking them when she gets the upper hand.

So, basically, the backstories of Vtubers are just a little flavor that otherwise has a minimal impact in anything. In fact, the entirety of Pekora’s generation, the Hololive 3rd Generation, also known as Hololive Fantasy, is themed after Fantasy elements: Bunnygirl Pekora, Half-elf Flare, Pirate Marine, Necromancer Rushia, and Knight Noel, but fans just affectionately call them “Cosplay Girls”, as in, just five girls who are cosplaying different fantasy characters, because, well, they are just streamers in the end and the Fantasy aspect plays so little into everything that it’s more like an afterthought after all. 

So! Where does that lead regarding your question? Well, basically, Vtubers are pretty much themselves, end of the day, not a made up character. Some vtubers play up some aspects of themselves as part of a character they want to show to fans for the sake of entertainment, but for the most part, let’s say a vtuber is 15-20% acting and 80-85% the real person behind the character. The relational part of the vtuber is always real: It’s hard to collab with someone you don’t like or mesh with and put out a good, fun product, let alone have fun yourself; this is particularly important because an unwritten rule for vtubers and just streamers in general is that they have to have fun for real and be with people they actually like, because otherwise this results in a worse product the fans won’t enjoy and that the streamers themselves won’t enjoy, so everyone loses.

Now, finally, with that to contextualize, shipping vtubers: As I said, you are very much shipping real people when you ship vtubers, but this is a bit different than the usual “shipping two actors”, for example: Vtubers are part of the lifestyle. They tend to be nerds, otaku, gamers, etc, they pretty much are the demographic they target, so in general, they don’t mind. Of course, a lot of the ships in the vtuber hole happen because of interactions between the vtubers, not just out of nowhere as with a lot of fiction, so there’s precedent, so to speak, and as long as you’re respectful and aren’t a weirdo about it, it’s seen as fine. Now, what do I when I say “they are ok with it”? Well, for example, Shirogane Noel (Hololive 3rd Gen) has made it absolutely clear, explicit, and obvious she’s in love with Shiranui Flare (Hololive 3rd Gen), who reciprocates. Clear as in “I buy clothes I think Flare will look hot in whenever she comes sleep over” and “I want Flare to move in with me”. So, like, in this case? Yeah it’s fine because, y’know, they more or less are an item. On the Nijisanji end of things, to diversify, there’s Mirei Gundou (Nijisanji After) and Kanda Shoichi (Nijisanji SEEDs) are very very close friends, to the point that fans and even other Nijisanji vtubers ship them (Hoshikawa Sara and Shiina Yuika openly say they love them together because they give a real couple feel), jokes they are completely ok with. Yashiro Kizuku (Nijisanji SEEDs) and Dola (Nijisanji SEEDs) are often jokingly shipped together because they are part of a quartet that pretends to be a family for collabs (as the father and mother respectively) and because other members note that they feel like a married couple (they are not actually dating but they are good friends of the same age and very casual with each other), and they are cool with that. Last example I’ll give (because there’s MANY) is perhaps the most famous example, Inugami Korone (Hololive Gamers) and Nekomata Okayu (Hololive Gamers), who have been friends from well before they were in Hololive, and who have a pretty physical relationship that they don’t mind sharing with the world, are also ok with this and Korone even encourages people to ship them.

SO! Basically, you are indeed shipping people, which normally would be suspect, but, they all tend to be ok with this, so this is an exceptional case. As long as no one is weird about it, they are pretty much fine with it, and again, they are part of the lifestyle, so many times in stream it has happened that, for example, Marine said to Inuyama Tamaki (independent) that she found a cool doujin that ships them together, and that she’s gonna send her the link after the stream, to which Tamaki just had a laugh and said “aight don’t forget to send the link”, they tend to take it with humor.

I hope that answers your question!

I’ve been watching Nijisanji for about 2 months now, so I feel like making a little time capsule and try naming all the Nijisanji livers that I can remember in one sitting.

Memory works by association, so I’ll just start with groups. Let’s start with trios:

VALZ: Kaida Haru (1), Genzuki Tojiro (2) and Nagao Kei (3) Meshers: Saegusa Akina (4), Mayuzumi Kai (5), and Fuwa Minato (6) Meifu: Melissa (7), Furen (8), and Ibrahim (9) SMC: Kagami Hayato (10), Hakase Fuyuki (11), Yorumi Rena (12)

And then duos. There might be ships, but that’s just how I’m remembering them. I don’t know how widespread they are since I’m just getting them from clips...

ChroNoiR: Kanae (13) and Kuzuha (14) Ebimaru: Ex Albio (15) and Ars Almal (16) GunKan: Gundou Mirei (17) and Kanda Shoichi (18) Kuzunbo: Kuzuha and Sakura Ritsuki (19) Togabito: Kenmochi Touya (21) and Fushimi Gaku (22) Benizuwaigani: Akina and Aizono Manami (23) BelAn: Belmond Banderas (24) and Ange Katrina (25) Crossick: Sukoya Kana (26) and Tomoe Shirayuki (27) Sakuyui(?idk if this is the name): Sasaki Saku (28) and Shiina Yuika (29)

And some others that I’m remembering as I type:

Shellin Burgundy (30) Gwel Os Gar (31) Lize Helesta (32) Mikoto (33) Tsukino Mito (34) Deron (35) Otogibara Era (36) Kokoro Amamya (37) Fumi (38) Ryushen (39) Yumeoi Kakeru (40) Hoshikawa Sara (41) Hisui (42) Yashiro Kizuku (43) Dola (44) Honma Himawari (45) Utako (46) Ririmu (47) Uzuki Kou (48) Harusaki Air (49) Naruse Naru (50) Yuuhi Riri (51) Noraneko... Her name was Tamaki? (52) Eli Conifer (53) Shibuya Hajime (54) Roa (55) Suzuhara Lulu (56) Nui Sorciere (57) Natsume (58) Luis Camie (59) Hanabatake Chaika (60) Sister Claire (61) Ran (62) Joe Rikiichi/Joker (63) Mugi (64) Aiba Uiha (65) Suzuki Masaru (66)

Let’s end it there. I’m sure there are ones that I know that I’m forgetting, but that’s interesting in itself! I was surprised that I almost forgot about Uiha. Yay! That was fun.

I wonder if I’ll be able to name all of them one day? But with how often new livers join it seems to be difficult.

Edit (5 min later): Gah, I forgot Maimoto...

February 16, 2021

So, for the past week I have been meticulously recording 100+ games of Among Us played by various vtubers in order to determine who is the best... and the results are kind of wonky... to quickly go through the criteria, I went through Holodex for all videos categorized as Among Us and recorded all the games that have at least two complete streams available during the time of research which was second week of February, That was about 130 games. Then I took out all the incomplete games, and then threw out all people who played less than nine games. Why, it makes the data more manageable...

Overall there were 275 vtubers and associated people in the list for my purview, which is still pretty large, considering all the filtering I did. So I think this is a pretty good survey, considering the time and effort that went into creating this thing.

Let’s start with winners and losers. The top ten spot is occupied in four stages. Tied for sixth, are five various vtubers with 77.8% win rate, which includes Mikan K. from Re:AcT and Rikka from Holostars. Tied for third is three at 80%, which is Minato Aqua, Amahane Yotsuha, and Pika K. Second place is Kamito at 82.4%, who is known for playing Apex, and that will be a common theme. First place in Chiharu with 83.3% but I’m pretty sure he’s not actually a Vtuber... so there’s that, again wonky.

For the losers, we’ll go by top seven, since six people are tied at the 8th to last with 33.3%, including Komori Met from VApArt. At number 7, we have Mutaka once from upd8 with 30.8%, which also has many connection problems as well. At number 6 is Layla Alestromia from Nijisanji ID with 30.4%, At number 5, it’s Mori Calliope from Hololive EN with 25%. Tied for third is Shirayuki Tomoe from Nijisanji and Mikoto S. both with 22.2%, Second is the recently retired Sephira Su, with 21.1% and the worst player of Among Us, least in my limited sample... is Shigure Ui with 20%. Yeah.

Of course, winning and losing is opposite to living or dying. Let’s look at the survival rate. There five people tied for tenth place with 66.7%, including Rikka and Kira from Holostars. Next up is Shishigami Leona with 68.2% survival rate, followed by Utai Meika with 69.2% survival rate. Sakato is next with 70%, although I don’t think he is a Vtuber, Kanda Shoichi is sixth with 71.4%. Two people are tied for fourth with 75.0% and that is Yua and Yachi from Stellar Cycle Dorm. Akira Ray is third with 76.5%, Kyue, another Korean streamer is second with 77.8% and Otsuta is at the top with 80.0%.

Korone is tied with two others for the tenth worst survivor with 20.0%. Miria is next with 18.8%. Kanau, Dandy and Hayato Kagami are tied at 18.2% survival rate. Layla Alestromia is fifth worst at 17.4%, Virtual Gorilla is worse at 16.7%. Tied for second are two holostars, Shien and Oga with 15.4% each, and the very last with Roki with 12.5%.

Now we have the least and most dead, let’s see who is the best imposter... Now I devised a fun formula for figuring out the best imposter, I just subtracted the rate of ejection from the rate of imposters and multiplied it by the average number of kills per game. Now this isn’t perfect, but I think it gives a good rough estimate...

So on the top ten best imposters. Number ten with an IS score of 0.444 is Shirayuki Tomoe, which also has one of lowest winning rates. This indicates she is good at killing and surviving but not necessarily winning. That’s what you get for betraying your wife. Number 9 is Kani at 0.462, don’t know much about her. I know she’s not Kanizawa Kani from Atelier, that’s for sure. Kosaka aka MonsterZ is next with an IS score of 0.467, he is an incredibly good player overall, along with Kanda Shoichi with a score of 0.482. Sukotte from Stellar Cycle is close ahead with a score of 0.485, followed by Kurone Yomi from Re:AcT with one half exactly. Miyu Ottavia is next with an IS score of 0.514. (Siska Leontyne was twelfth by the way with 0.403) Qualia Qu got the bronze with a score of 0.545. Chigusa Hana is the silver with a score of 0.655... and the gold... yes, you have guessed correctly with a score of whopping 0.972 is Amelia Watson!

By the way, the worst imposters include Temma, Oda Nobu and Hayato Kagami. And that’s all I had to post for today... and I think this is long enough.
