Hello, yes, liaschizo here. Another interesting Malware stream tonight. Many topics to touch upon. First and foremost starting out with the perfect Lia laugh.
https://youtu.be/xKrzsWCr8sI?t=1434 Just absolutely gorgeous work here with the air sucking oh ho ha ha laugh at 57 probably being the best laugh I've heard Lia performer in recent memory. Lia is returning to strong form with the obligatory name reading and some proper ballyhoo self referential throwbacks to her recent streams. Revisiting popular segments and giving a short rehash for renewed viewer engagement and giving viewers the chance to contribute their own is great for chat morale. Lia was perhaps lifting the curtain too much on directly referencing the two and a half hour video her deep dive was perhaps inspired from though the subtle layering of deconstructing the "lore/dive" trope as being glorified wikipedia rereadings stood on it's own merit. The strength of the performance really stands on Lia embracing the fact that content does not matter when you have the "it" factor and pumping out solid #s despite the disjointed sporadic pacing of the piece. Revisiting Phase math is the perfect cognitive jolt with how effortlessly she transitions into it and sticks full sincerity to the bit really helping to tenderize the brain for the onslaught of what feels like brain draino. Lia absolutely sticks a high laugh per minute when performing in this style hitting on two lingering points with the topical insertion of the Family Guy bit. First being the suggestion that Lia's "content" paralleled Nyanners, as a kindly An-non pointed out in this very thread, with Lia's hard turn away from gaming content being perhaps too easy to associate with one of the premier talents in the industry. The inclusion of the "Peatah, the horse is here" bit timed shortly after this disclosure, perhaps cleverly hidden within a "random" YLYL selected over viewer selections begins to build on the truly disengaged performative nature of her ability to turn the laughter on and off. Reference to "Peatah, the horse is here" in the most recent stream help to add a bit of cynical underwriting to the entire arc, playing on the low-brow billing of the content, the borderline perverse demands expected of talent at producing exploitable content, and of course the flagship closure of her ability to generate the emotional response she desires. Onto the Family Guy clip itself we get some lovely association of absurdity the entire gay baby fucking a dog with the break down of associated yabai fetish inclusion being her particular strong suit. The promise of a Family Guy deep dive will inevitably bring up several episodes that have their own engaging meta tropes that have already been visitied or are ripe for exploitation in future Malware content. I have particularly deep personal schizo connections to this segment that are even too absurd for my usual rambling disclosure. Ending the stream with a strong look at the actual introduction of the two and a half hour deep dive video essay on her supposed deep dive draws beautiful satirical criticism on the format itself, as how the topic "mort" will likely remain unexplored by the majority of her viewers, the exercise ultimately futile, and mercifully spared from actually being explored at length. While all of the "fun" afforded by the medium is in itself heavily center around "junk" content which can be very technically demanding, time intensive, and talent dependent, the mechanical breaking down of the experience into it's constituent feel good moments by the Malware is truly masterclass at being able to delivery what the audience demands (feel good escapism with her particular brand) while cutting down the actual premise her stream is intended to emulate.
Clearing up additional personal schizo rats/synchronistic delusions entirely relevant to my very specific mumble mumble interactions with Lia being projected back as cosmic mockery.
First and foremost being a throwaway remark of Lia "studying the little death" tying into the mort name play of tonight's episode. This is delusional and easily dismissed as happenstance. Secondly being the Rie endurance comment of "wanting to eat her snot" after my own request to Hime of mixing her snot into the dry mix. This is delusional though very well could tie into the spreadsheet trope/chat spying tease of Lia's usual faith demands. Always remain faithful to Lia.
Lastly demands perhaps a more nuanced outlook on the Kudoboard prestream Yuri banter. In Lia's krampus house hand stream Yuri went to great length performing an over the top depiction of Liker admiration towards Lia given plausible deniability of their already established relationship. My immediate reaction was a degree of autistic confusion. Initial suspicion of the display, despite the pair's obvious fondness of one another put me on immediate edge that perhaps Yuri's courting of Lia was also some long haul mean girl psy
