VTubers

As of this posting, she's still in the prep/warmup room. She previously went viral for her "The Troubles" lecture on Saint Patrick's Day.

Jingo, the VRchat model creator, tweeted (archive) he mainly wants to protect the copyright of his characters, as many other people use them.

Fillian's model is a VRchat model called "rindo" (archive) that she has modified for her own use. The creator of the model has a terms of use (archive) for it's use and one thing mentioned within it is that if you're going to produce physical goods for sale of their characters that they want to be consulted for permission first.

Today, Goodsmile announced a Fillian Nendroid (archive) and no one ever contacted the creator of the model. Who's now saying on twitter (archive) that he's contacting both the company and Fillian to sort out the disagreement. Whether this means the figure gets cancelled or not will have to be seen.

Here's the creator's Tweet translated.

EDIT She has a Youtooz figure (archive) too. So she may owe a good sum of money to the artist for that.

Weird that she would abandon a 100k+ identity for a rebrand when her old IP already had a serious redesign. It was bothering me where she went when she disappeared out of the blue. One of her notable collabs was being the first to collab with Neuro-sama.

In April, fallen shadow said she needed a temporary health hiatus. Looks like she's doing better now.

Former Tsunderia talent, turned PC manager, turned PC talent, Dizzy also did a stream titled: Why You Should NOT Join Phase Connect where she explained what it means to go from being an indie to a corpo talent. What is expected of you, what groups success means, deadline expectations. I think one of the reasons for PC's success has been setting realistic expectations with their talents. I think part of the reason for this steam is to dissuade the people who previous would have misunderstood what PC can and cannot do you for.

VTubing (or content creation in general) is not an easy activity. You need time, you need patience and you need determination to even persevere let alone thrive doing it - even then, strong will and dedication might not be enough sometimes.

We all have our oshi or just creators whose content we enjoy but sometimes those people vanish. Maybe they got bored or tired and decided to quit. Maybe they disappeared suddenly without a trace. Either way, they're no longer active and the only thing left are the archives.

I've been thinking about one of such VTubers recently and thought this could be an interesting topic to reminiscence and learn about people you've never heard about.

The one I've been thinking about is Vasuki, a French streamer who used to be active on Twitch. She streamed variety of games, with FFXIV as a regular "filler" between them. While she wasn't huge, she seemed to be doing fine and nothing really indicated she's planning to stop her activities. She was even working on an AI powered partner to use during streams. One day she simply vanished. No more streams, no more archives, no more tweets - she's just gone.

I'm sure some of you have a similar story so I'd like to ask you to tell me about the VTubers of your past. Who were they? What did they do? What was your favorite thing about them?

Let's go through a memory lane together.
