Hello, yes, liaschizo here. I think the point that Lia is trying to touch on here really deals with the quintessential character arc of her Lia/!Lia story line. Producing content that creates a revelatory sense of the areas of expertise that Lia is personally lacking in helps to create that satisfying to the observe sensation of vulnerability, humility, and growth. This is where the gap moe is achieved between Lia's normal confident, high energy, brash personality when she is within her comfort zone and the more meek, humbled projection of respectful novice that she is able to project in these situations. My paranoid schizomind is of course screaming to disassociate from the entire perception of this current hook but here we are. The subtle inclusion of the "Uruka x Lia unarchived karaoke moment" helps to drive a wedge of doubt into the sincerity of the moment combined with the explainable by nerves late posting of the "sludge" short after the barrage of baited tweets. Of course this realm of plausible deniability is where the performers operate best and the demand of suspension of disbelief to support them is where the mumble mumble really manifests strongest. For Lia there is the hard reality of the mismatched skillset from her PL to current career lacking some of the staple talents or niches that most performers rely on. While this creates it's own positive set of points such as her draw being her overwhelming charisma and energy, she also possesses a particular knowledge set that while hyper specialized still has topical foundations that allow her to craft and execute impressive meta narrative content within her performances. I think this is what is truly meant when Lia says that her "priority is true Liacons". The knowing fabrication of experiences Lia is capable of conjuring up and willingly subjects herself too is the epitome of the Hessian quote “That is why we were drawn to one another and why we are brother and sister. I am going to teach you to dance and play and smile, and still not be happy. And you are going to teach me to think and to know and yet not be happy. Do you know that we are both children of the Devil?” Surely in some great capacity Lia is intended to embody this unhappiness because were she to accomplish all of her goals she would no longer be capable of providing the Idol tale of improvement for the viewer. This is perhaps why her "secret" singing voice that came out during the donothon was promised to never be revisited. Again Lia is capable of projecting and post rationalizing any component of her performance as the artist and it's in this manipulative process that she is most capable in crafting the desired stories she wishes to create for Lia. The fortuitous timing of the PAM collabo occurring directly after the Yuri x Lia Phase Weekly shouldn't be understand in demonstrating this dichotomy of Lia experiences that help to lend the feeling of satisfaction of seeing her venture out into the "broader community". The inclusion of Erina has probably been one of the biggest fires/de/motivators for Lia as the modularity of her voice talents demonstrate a professional depth that her own skills were only challenged by when Lumi joined. While Lia is supremely evocative with her voice and can change and hold pitch the transformative qualities other talents demonstrate is still yet to be obtained. This may simply be something she is withholding in the same capacity as that special karaoke voice a talent for her to role out more properly as her storyline progresses. There is a particularly fine synchronistic jab in Ophelia's schedule for "songs about one-sided love" well played for the occasion. In passing Lia mentioned seeking out some kind of vocal training and Ophelia's vocal study streams seem like they'd be a good place to begin for anyone interested in one of Lia's passions. Now that I continue to play the fool for hypothetical Lia's I think that perhaps in the same vein of (god you're pathetic) Lia's timed short can be self referential to the "sludge" of this type of parasocial content again an infinitely deniable position she can project with the soft contempt nicely worked into the self abasing pleas to not join her for tomorrows ASMR. Lia continues to offer a rich multi-faceted viewing experience with the total breadth of her production incorporating all of the different modes of viewer engagement creating this "extended" performance that she has done well to breathe life into outside of her streams themselves.
