>>41500306>Sell me on Filian thenShe's divisive. You either love her or hate her. She takes every shot she gets and says whatever comes to her mind. Some of her bits land some of them don't, but I think she does a great job of making things that would otherwise be unbearably cringe bearable with her upbeat attitude. She's good at selling reactions to things, even if I don't believe they're all genuine she's good at putting on a show of it, which lends itself to her short bursts of high energy streams at consistently the same hours every week basically without exception aside from the occasional day off. It makes it really easy to catch most of her streams if you're a fan and never feel like you're missing anything.
She cares a lot of about chat's experience, and while she doesn't interact with much of chat individually I think her view of chat as a collective is among the best. I think there's a good balance of chat laughing at her/bullying but not being excessively mean or annoying about it. She really likes to involve them as a collective into the experience. It's not so much as a "talk to streamer" environment as it is being a part of the stream with her.
She is, for better or worse some times, good at "moving things along". It doesn't really ever feel to me like she gets stalled at anyone else's (especially chat's) behest. She knows how to keep the momentum of the stream moving (mostly) which I think sometimes works to her detriment, especially during collabs. You can usually expect the same sort of schedule every stream and not "an indeterminate amount of tts spam stall until things happen"
She has a certain aloof and distant air to her personality that makes her a bit mysterious and alluring. She's usually hyper, loud, and ADHD as fuck but occasionally breaks down her on stream persona a bit and she comes across as more vulnerable than you would first expect, so there's an element of that. Things like her self soothing hair stroking when she's forced to be more genuine than usual, the ways she appears to really appreciate her friends, or shows sudden interests/knowledge in things you wouldn't expect pull a lot of us in.
Some love her some hate her. If you can't let down your guard enough to enjoy the slapstick humor and her ""zoomer"" mannerisms you will hate her. For me, watching her stream makes me feel less jaded and generally always puts me in a good mood. She has certain qualities that make her really endearing behind the ADHD ambitious zoomer girl who does backflips in tiny skirts.
And that's my ted talk on filian.
