>>49213499The absolute height of parasociality is in going to war with your oshii. A proper Japanese style oshii, the type of spirit that endears to them individuals who will dance alone to them attempting to mirror their every move, is only all to happy to bring this war back onto her viewer. It's impossible to ever pin down Lia's true intentions in this regards. She could never admit it and as a viewer you're not supposed to reveal that you watch other girls but Lia's little joke was the perfect emotional trimtab to reinforce her hold over your dedication.
Following Lia's I AM COFFEE cancellation was an absolute spread of high quality competing vtuber content. From the gamut of in house Pippa streaming, to big Phase Friend returns with Cheekicutie Leeza, and even Lia's own personal groom target, newly debuted Meiko cutting her teeth on the fresh corpo incline a wide offering of distraction was presented to the forlong and lost unfaithful man in the moment without Lia.
I glanced at some of the offerings but all I could taste in the back of my mouth was Lia. You can go from stream to stream and see in all the ways the other girls just aren't Lia. They have their own merits and are all operating on or approaching as high a level as Lia does but it's just not Lia. Even with the desire to show support to Lia's friend Meiko the staying power and interest simply drains away in the face of lacking Lia. How could I enjoy other girls when I've been denied my Lia? The addictive, stimulant nature of coffee has some parallel here in having that crutch taken away. All of these other experiences simply didn't hit the same. This lingered on to the following morning with the "Graduation" of self confessed and verified by Lia, Lia clone Rurumi, the ultra compatible "second option" content stream for the wandering Liacon. Again I can not verify that Lia masterminded the timing or structure of her streams in a way to present the strongest impact, done so in a way that the execution cast out the Liacon, giving them the experience to make the right choice and recognize the way in which the other options pale in comparison to Lia, and how longing for Lia is the only appropriate move to make in her absence. All I can say is well done Malware, the breadth of emotion from this self contained arc was truly impressive, hitting on a masterful range of mediums from on stream, to social media, to the quiet self reflections of the "hobbyist" grade consumer of Lia content. This was a complete and total Lia revelation for why Lia is the company favorite. I like Lia...
