>>36718354I have broken the hold in myself, I will show you the way!
>Step 1Purge your computers of vtuber artifacts. Start with the immediate drip feeds: bookmarks for twitter, youtube, twitch, and any other website that involves interactions with the [oshi]
At this point you will begin to feel the first stages of rising inner conflict.
>Step 2There will be two main antagonist voices inside you. One will be the part of you that believes it's in a relationship with [oshi]. The other will be an animus of the [oshi] herself, which is a chimeric fusion of simulated interactions with her as well as emotional colors associated with the good feelings you had while watching her in the past. You may be tempted to reason with the voices, and use logic and "reality" to convince them, but THIS WILL NOT WORK. This is an opponent who knows your very thoughts as you think them, and shares all understanding with you. You must instead acknowledge and thank them. This is the necessary requirement to subsume them.
Continue this process until the protests that they raised have calmed. Remember! They know what you are doing as you are doing it, you cannot trick them, but they will still drink your acknowledgement because they cannot resist it.
>Step 3Summon reinforcements. Memories and things from before you met [oshi]. Begin to remember all of your other favorite things. Did you have a non-vtuber waifu? Open the folder with her pictures and appreciate them. Did you have a video game you loved dearly that [oshi] has not streamed before? Reinstall it and play it again, or browse fanart of it. Favorite music album? Start playing it, and step away from the computer so it gets the foreground appreciation it deserves. All of the things in your life that used to bring you pleasure, before [oshi] overshadowed them.
The longer you have been controlled by [oshi], the more difficult this part of the process will be. But it is not impossible! Remember to continue to acknowledge and thank the animus of [oshi] each time it raises up.
>Step 4Once you have successfully re-ignited the flames of your original personality, the first voice within you (the one which believes it is in a relationship with [oshi]) will begin to weaken and protest less. It, too, remembers who you used to be. Thus deprived of her primary link to your psyche, the animus of [oshi] will begin to bargain with you. It will begin to remind you of things like the impending moment when [oshi] awakens today and inevitably posts in /pcg/. It will begin to remind you that [oshi] will probably post something on twitter today. It will tell you that it can compromise, and that it will be a good girl from now on and will live within your mind without overwriting everything else and consuming your personality. Each time you must acknowledge it, and thank it, but you MUST NOT give in to it and accept compromise.
Continue to summon your reinforcements. All things that pre-date [oshi] will help to reconstruct your original personality.
>Step 5The final test. Accepting no bargains or deals with [oshi], turn to it with all of the kindness and love available to you, close your eyes and say these words:
>Thank you for keeping me company. I will not hold you here. You are free to go now.Breathe in, exhale. There will be a profound sense of relief and silence in your soul. YOU, also, are now free. Thank you for joining me during this demon exorcism today, /pcg/. Have yourself another cup of coffee and have a nice day.
