>>11363616>How did you stop telling yourself that?It is easier to stop telling myself that for vtuber things because I get a tangible benefit from doing them when I see my streams improve or show a friend my art, or designs. But I find it really difficult for my irl reps! I stopped cooking as much and I stopped running everyday, aha. These are little things I started working on, and why I tend to take so many breaks. Honestly, I think maybe over time it gets easier to balance but I still have a lot of trouble with it.
Oh gosh. I was in a social black out until I found vtubers. I am super glad you gained confidence! It took vtubers to help me find that again, myself. I am so thankful.
>There is a burning flame in me screaming at me to be a better content creator, and I am somewhat afraid of it.As long as the flame is not destructive, I say give it a bit of space to grow. Take hold of that creative spark and let it move you. I have written more this year than ever, and I have vtubing to thank! Even if I were not a streamer myself, I was already writing cringe /here/fanfic that will never see the light of day! So I also empathize with your feelings on art...
You are making me so curious as to your motivations... But I will respect your secrets, aha.
>If you keep asking questions you're gonna wind up as my oshi because it feels like you actually care, about /here/, at least somewhat, and I thought I was alone in that... So what makes you do it? Is it mostly just curiosity?Aaah, this is so sweet... Thank you, this genuinely makes me so happy. But your oshi should be someone you really want to see succeed no matter what.
Hm. I was always a lurker in most areas of life, but being involved in this community really made me want to be involved. I used to be afraid of lowering thread quality when I became a vtuber, so I made a point of avoiding the threads entirely for the longest time. Eventually I really wanted to join in, though, so I did!
As the other place got more and more busy, I decided to stop by here one day and check and I saw tigerposter asking questions. I thought it was so nice and answered them whenever I stopped by. When tigerposter stopped, and the front desk lost more and more activity, I found myself feeling a bit sad. So I decided to try asking my own questions to help keep things going.
At the time, no one really posted here. It has had moments of activity, like when asp vtubers posted here, but it always felt like an extension of a vtuber social club and then was left shortly after. It felt kind of like an empty house. So I was hoping I could get anons interested in discussing what they love about vtubers as a whole. It has been very fun, and I really like it here!
I tried to do similar things for the other place, but it never seemed to help. Sorry for the wall of text, but I hope that answers it.
