>>76590271lia would not have survived 2021 as a vtuber if she went through with cyberlive. lumi would not have been able to pull off ashelia, either, and probably would have gone indie after dealing with the constraints sakana put on the character.
a more fun fanfic game to consider that really fucks with the timeline of small corpos is this butterfly effect:
lia, along with 4 others, were supposed to be yunity (cyberlive) generation 1. if they all didn't quit right before debut and actually started with cyberlive:
>lia obviously never becomes lia>the pilots for lumi, yuri, hylo, pandora, seina don't get hired for cyberlive>now that doesn't mean they don't apply to future gens, but their identities would all be different>that also effects gen2 of cyberlive with talents like menace and chapipi, who are now key girls in idol corp. maybe they still end up in idol? or maybe then end up in other small corpos which would have then taken them out of being in idol?>so for example: what if the pilot for menace or chapipi auditioned and got hired for phase to become panko? or auditioned for tsunderia to be lisa? >with lumi/yuri not in a small corpo, they probably would have never hit it off at that level with phase in such a short time to where they do invaders and the invaders program is never started>in the future, phase probably don't get hime or jelly, because those 2 can be traced back to lia and lumi, respectively.
