Yamions, you got me. i finally get it
these past two days have been the biggest development arc i've seen of any vtuber in a while. Shu went from a background character to a senpai. in the process becoming a chad that would go to a sulking kouhai and instead of comforting them, scolding them saying "why didn't you ask for help?" and then proceeding to walk him through how to stream. then in his own karaoke, says he's learned about confidence and while the tempo was all over the place, he nails the notes. also ShoujoRei song instead of "You are my friend" he goes "I hardly even know her" made me literally lol. and then the afterkaraoke chat where he pauses to help sonny, then goes to guerilla collab petra and keep the conversation flowing with even random tangents of his childhood where he was an angel. when alban joins, he matches his energy and hypes petra. when reimu joins he takes a step back so they could geek out and even says "i don't mind being a 3rd wheel". when reimu went afk he humored petra's calls to recruit his chat into becoming pentomos. when luca came, he joined in on the deez nuts jokes, and then went along with petra to get luca to say "hey let's kiss" in japanese. when fulgur and elira joined and petra left to pee and elira started counting to when she'd come back, shu harmonized on the last number.
the dude is showing his improvement, helping others, is being a chameleon to match whoever he's with, while also improving his confidence.
he's not my oshi, but seeing how much he helps others for simply wanting to, and is largely ignored, i do think he's the most deserving of happiness.
