I posted a major update in regards to my current state on my discord, however it was extremely long winded so I had an additional tl;dr as well.
Sharing that here for those not in my discord. ๐
The coincidental timing on announce of the new live action Harry Potter show, JK Rowling trending, and the
#transgender
military ban being removed it...well. It's a thing....
I don't even know what to say...I'm still shaking...
Thank you to EVERYONE for all the love and support. I never would have been able to achieve this milestone so fast without your love and support. ๐๐๐
Okay so men are trash trending with Grindr is hilarious enough on it's own, but then you see the category they put Grindr in LMFAO. I'm dead. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Last night I hit multiple all time highs, but the most wild thing that happened was this.
The fact that I am here after such a short amount of time is blowing me away; it's surreal. I wouldn't be here without all your love and support. Thank you everyone.๐๐

Being trans is really scary. Seeing the VTuber community standing by us right now however makes me feel a little safer.
You canโt change most bigoted people, but never let them go unchallenged. ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ ๐
To my fellow FFXIV players...
Don't make this game your whole personality, yeah? I say this as someone who loves the game. Criticisms are not attacks on you as a person, please don't take them that way.
The hostility I've seen lately saddens me. ๐ฅ
I'm genuinely terrified of posting this, but now is the time. This has been scheduled to go out the day after the Hype Challenge has ended to give myself time to process before the debut. ๐ฐ

As a streamer the most important thing I've learned so far is it's SUPER important for your mental health to not take your numbers as a reflection of you as a person, or your own value. Any numbers...whether it be viewer avg, follows, subs, twitter engagement...anything. ๐งต
VTubers apparently be talking 'bout some VTubers not being anime enough to be considered VTubers, yet here is me wanting to be LESS anime ๐ All styles of VTubers are valid, but what's wrong with variety? ๐ค Don't y'all want VTubing to be a broad medium instead of a niche genre?
PSA: No amount of money you throw at a content creator gives you the right to ignore their rules and requests, nor to push their boundaries. EVER. ๐
@Liffeh
I still 100% believe they are *actually* already working on it, but intentionally withholding it so they can "reveal" full hat compatibility for Hroth/Viera alongside fem hroth. Act like it's a FUN FEATURE so people forget that it was a BS thing that hats were even fucked at all.
FREEDOM!!! ๐๐๐ Your favorite fennec foxboi VTuber has FINALLY slipped from twitter jail as of yesterday! On a glorious
#FemboyFriday
! As it should be. ๐ WE SO BACK! ๐
99.9% of these so called VTuber "cliques" are likely established friend groups. Do YOU just allow random people you don't even KNOW into you friend group out of the blue just cuz they asked...? You're also a VTuber? Neat. We're not suddenly friends because of that. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
YOU THERE! New streamer! ๐ซต Lemme give you some unsolicited advice.
DO NOT. DO THIS. โบ๏ธ
And ESPECIALLY not as your FIRST MESSAGE in another streamer's chat. ๐ Not only will you NOT gain followers from this, you will have people actively avoid you/ban you/time you out. ๐
The date is set, and my 3.0 debut draws near... ๐ฉต ๐ ๐ A new type of invasion is starting on a planet near you! It arrives on November 22nd, 2023! ๐
You won't want to miss this. ๐ See you soon, Earthlings. โ๏ธ

Excuse me time for sap. I love the FFXIV streaming category; I made amazing friends thanks to deciding to hit "go live" 7 months ago. I was reminded of that yesterday, and I'm so lucky to be where I am. I owe so much gratitude to everyone for all the support I've gotten. ๐ฅบ ๐ ๐
I'm in weird mood
Seeing 6.3 drop, I realize that I've been feeling like I've drifted out of the circle of FFXIV streamers lately. I still love everyone, but I definitely been feeling more distant... x.x
Sorry if I seem cold or unapproachable lately guys; life's been rough. ๐ฅฒ
Before I go to nap, I wanna mention something on my mind.
A lot of my
#Vtuber
friends, and myself as well, are getting new models or redesigns. Please be respectful! ๐ Comments like "I like your old model/design/etc better, don't change it pls!" can be hurtful. 1/2
Okay but then you also have neurodivergent folks who struggle to even make time for themselves. This is a very black and white statement.
It feels like the internet and smart phones making it so we all have 24/7 access to people has increased entitlement to other peopleโs time.
"Would you guys PLEASE stop messing with the signal jammer?! I don't like hearing my sisters! I...I don't have the best relationship with them..." ๐พ

I don't wanna do masculine vocal training.
I don't want to transition medically.
I like my body as is (for the most part...)
I like wearing and presenting in traditionally "feminine" or androgynous ways.
Still a boy. ๐ฉต๐๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
Trans folk don't owe you "passing" to validate their identities.
NONBINARY PEOPLE CAN BE TRANS.
Like many identities, trans is an umbrella. If you identify as trans, YOU'RE TRANS. You don't owe anyone anything.
You are loved. You are valid๐
So I may have offhandedly mentioned to my chat that I was considering asking a certain

Becoming a Vtuber was the best choice of my life. ๐ฅบ๐ I've met so many cool people thanks to being a goofy lil pixie on the internet. ๐
There is a lotta crap going on in the world, so if I can at least have a small positive circle around me? I'm happy.
Thank you guys.
In spite of all the negative stuff I post sometimes, here is something positive.
Nothing makes me happier than my friends, fellow content creators, or community members saying something I did or said inspired something positive in their life. ๐ญ๐
That's all I want to do. ๐ฅบ
Or people who only interacted when I was averaging higher than I am now who seem to have vanished is also an icky feel, but at least the trash takes itself out.
So many folks with agendas...it sucks that this kind of thing can work to get you ahead, too.
~Show Business Baby~
Bigger vtubers who didnโt give me the time of day once they gained traction (old mutuals I enjoyed talking to) interacting w me when they find out Iโm averaging more viewers gives me the ick.
Numbers shouldnโt matter. If you didnt appreciate me at 2 viewers you donโt deserve me
As someone with a rather low social battery by default, one of the hardest parts I've discovered since becoming a streamer/content creator is finding the energy to keep up with people. I promise you're not being ignored. ๐ฅฒ
Not to be that person but...if you only show compassion for people when it makes you look good, but then seem to "forget" when it's no longer beneficial to you?
...kindly go swallow a box of tacks, yeah? ๐ฅฐ
Thanks~ ๐ ๐ ๐
WE DID IT! ๐ 60/40 split SUCCESS! ๐ญ ๐
At the tail end of the month, y'all pulled up in DROVES to help me pass that finish line! I'm SO thankful for my AMAZING community and AMAZING friends. ๐ฅน
I love ya my lil sparks. ๐ โค๏ธโ๐ฅ Y'all inspire me to keep moving foward.
Thank you.
Anyone else read dms and think about how youโll reply when you have time, then your brain records you THINKING about replying as actually replying?
Then like a week later you realize you didnโt actually reply and you feel like an asshole ๐ญ
This time last year, streaming wasn't even on my mind. Then at the start, I had no ambitions or expectations.
Needless to say, your support has blown me away. ๐ญ ๐ This year has been WILD and it's not even over! ๐ณ
Thank you for 3k followers on Twitch!

#VtubersUprising
PSA because I'm seeing people getting it confused.
I am trans and a femboy, but not every femboy is trans. A woman who dresses "masculine" is still a woman, a man who dresses "feminine" is still a man.
Open your minds and hearts more; understand identity is not wholy binary. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Thank SO MUCH you to everyone who made the opening might of The Hivemind so successful! ๐
Thank you to the amazing DJs, all who helped set up, and to everyone who gifted, raided, stopped in; for a moment, or all night long!
CHEERS FRIENDS! More to come. ๐๐
I always drop at least a few followers when I post or repost trans positivity. I literally do not know why bigots even before I came out would have followed me in the FIRST place. I have always been vocal about this so like...?
Nice when trash takes itself out though. ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ฉต๐๐
THE HOUR IS NIGH! OwO! My 3.0 debut is getting closer, and you're all invited! ๐ฉต ๐ ๐

Happy Pride Month to my queer homies. ๐
When I came out as trans last year, I was scared; still am. I don't often feel like I am "trans enough" to even call myself that sometimes. Support from friends & allies makes it less scary.
Acceptance makes a world of difference. ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
Lemme tell you when I say a huge part of Von Lycaon's appeal is the buttery smooth voice, so y'all better go support the VA who delivered this S Rank performance to our ears like I'm so serious rn.
Lrt but non-binary people donโt owe you androgyny if they are more comfortable looking more masc or more fem. ๐ it doesnโt make them no longer non-binary.
If someone has they/them pronouns, please just use them no matter what they look like.
MINORS STAY OUT OF ADULT SPACES. ๐คฌ youโre endangering YOURSELF and the adults by sneaking into these places. ๐ซ I ban anyone I suspect is below 18 who shows up around my community, and any creator who talks about adult themes should do the same.
Protect yourselves. ๐
Randomly woke up with some dumb anxiety.
I know itโs subjective, but I feel like Iโm doing the
#Vtuber
thing wrong. Am I dumb for not doing a fancy reveal for my models? For never doing a proper โdebut?โ
VTubing having such specific ways of doing things is tripping me up.
๐ What happens when the walls begin to break?
...how long before you have to walk away? ๐

VTubing & streaming has changed my life, and I owe it to y'all's support.
Thanks. ๐
I have managed to do not one but TWO pieces of art recently. They're both just sketches but I DID THEM. ๐ญ
I sold my body at sum FFXIV venue auctions and this was the reward. uwu ๐๐
#PixiePix
<- also, I'm thinking I'm gonna use this as my art tag now NODDERS.
I'm bad at always saying it, but I truly am beyond grateful for everyone in my community.
When I was bored and depressed last year, and threw together my scuffed lil VTuber model to mitigate it, never for a moment could I have predicted the outcome.
I love you guys. ๐ฅบ ๐ ๐
A reminder for anyone who may be newer to my stream and still have yet to grasp this concept. Please look at the massive sticker that is always in the lower right of the screen.
Yes I know what I look like. Yes I know what I sound like. I'm transmasc. I am not a girl.
I really donโt know how to make friends. Social anxiety has left me very lonely because I keep everyone at arms length.
Sorry to sad post on main but holidays always leave me gloomy. ๐
Stepping away from FFXIV to play around in VRChat has been such a breath of fresh air. I needed this.
I drop numbers like crazy streaming other things; that's just normal, and it is sometimes hard to not take it personally..
But it's okay, because I'm enjoying myself. again. ๐
This whole weekend has been insane. Sorry for forgetting pictures of food and stuff; I'm so no used to traveling and actually NEEDING to take pictures. ๐ญ It just doesn't occur to me!
Even if it's rough going outside of the XIV category, thank you everyone for making it so much easier. This was the progress we made on our little Felix PNG during the art stream. ๐โโฌ ๐

As an asexual in the

space, I'm often really confused on how I should carry myself both due to the common oversexualized nature of VTuvbing standards; "seiso" or "sussy" etc.
Finding my level of comfort in this is...difficult.
I ran out of episodes of
@bouletbrothers
Dragula on
@netflix
and now I am not sure what to do with my life. I need more of that disgusting beauty in my life.
Well I guess I ate my words, huh? Time to start planning something to celebrate. Thank you guys so much, I love you all. ๐ญ๐๐

Some of my goals seem impossible (1k twitch followers yeah right lmao) while others seem too small (promo art...I'm trying okay...) BUT If I can meet even one I'll be happy. However, I'll kick myself if I don't at bare minimum do the new model! ๐ญ
