Has your life gotten better since you found your oshi?

[Anonymous No.]

yes, I listen to Rushia's ASMR almost every night to fall asleep and it helps me feel a little less lonely. i know it's pretty pathetic but after so many failed relationships, what i want right now is a girl who can't break my heart because she doesn't even know i exist

[Anonymous No.]

>>2433564
Yeah and it goes much worse when she graduated, never stream again nor reincarnated.

It's been half a year now.

I work late shift a couple of nights a week in a middle of nowhere town. All these chuubas going live around the time I get off livens up the night. I love that shit.

Even if I work during the day, I'll still get alerts that someone is going live later. Makes everything less mundane idk

Same, though my oshi isn't Rushia
It's... nice, anon, hearing someone comfort you to sleep
So to answer the OP's question, yes, I have something to look forward to each week when before hand I was just very aimless and sleepless
And I always listen to my oshi before I go to sleep and I usually can sleep a lot better

I watched Ina stream since debut for a couple months working seasonally and then as a neet. Wanting to get into art again made me find a full time job but it was clearly dead end and I wasn't too happy with it.
I started watching Polka, listening to her ASMR streams that still help me sleep plus Ina's regular streams which are comfy. After Hologram Circus released I started looking for a different place to work and quit the job I was at.

Found a new one that I fell in love with after just a week and I'm still working there. I like my coworkers and the company, making way more money, too. I have less free time now due to a lot of overtime but Ina and Polka are still relaxing and I enjoy catching a stream when I can to just chill while I do my Arknights dailies.

Ended up not pursuing art like I originally intended with better paychecks but I honestly owe it to Ina (and Polka) for making me turn my life around to find a career that I want to advance in.

[Anonymous No.]

I had an oshi, but she graduated and turned out to be a two-faced bitch.
In 2020 I lost motivation to do anything. I was NEET without any plans to do anything about it, every job I had before was a dead end, I didn't see much point in finding another job just to find means sustenance, I hate my life anyway, dying from hunger is not much worse than slaving for next 40 years. But when I found my next oshi, I wanted to finally find a job for the sole reason to be able to support her. My own life isn't worth anything, but I it looked like I found someone who I could live for.
Yes, she graduated before I did that, and yes, she was also a two-faced bitch who broke my heart completely this time.
Vtubers are an opium of the people, they can make you happy for a few hours, but over time they will drag you down to the rock bottom. Without them, I would never realise how desperately lonely I am. Without them, I would be probably more focused on self-improvement, learning new things.
But instead I was concernfagging over some girls on the internet catching cold or not sleeping enough, or having depression, wile my own life is shit and there are several wars going on in the world, not to mention the freaking plague, so it's not like they having a hard time, relatively speaking.

If she can fight everyday, so can I. So yes, it has, even if just a little.

[Anonymous No.]

No. My life has gotten worse, not that my beloved oshi is to blame.

[Anonymous No.]

In a sense yes, I try to catch all her streams live and she has inspired me to pick up guitar again. I was able to escape neetdom long before Vtubers were even a thing and I'm now pretty successful financially but it was a long struggle and I can't help thinking it would have been easier with her around.

[Anonymous No.]

not really, i started to become a complete schizo maybe it is the fault of this year of isolation or my oshi

[Anonymous No.]

I've always been a schizo who spins out of control every few years but yeah this last year has been awful. Well I guess it gets worse every time. Maybe next time I'll finally kill myself

I was in a relationship with a girl for a few years. Things are not going well and so I decided to end the relationship. I regretted it a few months later (where else could you find a menhera tomboy?). To cope with it, I decided to have Towa as my oshi. Towa is now an anchor to my sanity. If she's gone, either I need to find a new oshi or I'm going insane.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2433564
Yep - she helps me get through a constantly painful neurological disease that I developed last year. Vtubers are officially more addictive than opiates

[Anonymous No.]

I lost my partner to COVID (complications) last July. Ina's calming streams help me relax, and her stupid puns remind me of my partner. Lamy's super comfy asmr/drinking streams have been reliably putting me to sleep without requiring me to drink myself into oblivion.

While it hasn't fixed all my problems it has made some massive improvements and made me feel a hell of a lot less lonely.

[Anonymous No.]

No. Glad she came back after a month of nothing, but scheduling streams only two hours in advance is kinda annoying.

Looks like she cancelled the cosplay stream as well.

What was your oishi's name, anon?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2433564
no, but it's easier to forget how shit it is

[Anonymous No.]

I didn't find an Oshi but seeing how this phenomenon affects most people living my lifestyle has terrified me into improving myself. I cleaned up my diet, started working out, started developing more marketable skills and putting in that much more effort in my current job to make extra money in the meantime.
Whenever I waver, I always visit /vt/ and see how this poison has affected my fellow Anons minds and I feel resolve flood back in. I want an ordinary life, I want to be a happy normal person. I don't want to watch a cartoon to tickle the part of my brain into believing it isn't destroying itself with idleness.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2439294

[Anonymous No.]

It's passive entertainment that doesn't make me want to blow my brains out so yes, it has improved it quite a bit.

[Anonymous No.]

I didn't commit suicide this apocalypse thanks to Hololive. Also, I actually have a new motivation to spend whatever remained of my decaying intelligence: learning nihongo.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2433564
Yes, i lived in a shitty communist country until recently and still have to send money to my family over there. Western entertainment makes me want to commit suicide and there's only so much one can wallow in old shit and nostalgia.
So having these girls producing an endless surplus of entertainment were mostly no propaganda is unconciously spewed that would cause me PTSD has been a godsent, plus, i learned a new language out of it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2433564
My life has been getting steadily duller for a decade now, i given up in things like finding love and making a family, so no it didn't get better. Still i am somewhat content and i am also healthy, which is more than a lot of people can say, so I'm glad. Watching anime girls being cute is not a life changing experience, it's just a distraction.

[Anonymous No.]

nope. when i discovered gura i was so charmed by her and it felt like a healing experience but now i'm realizing how painful goslinging is.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2433564
Although I don't have one true oshi yet, some of the chuubas I found have helped giving me some insight on myself as a person.

I got thrown out of uni in 2019 after years of running in cirlces, not achieving any progress and holing up myself in my tiny room I lived in. Later that year I got accepted for a business apprenticeship, which was basically the initial step for starting a new life. But while I'm doing quite well now careerwise, my private life is still in shambles. I have gardly any friends, family is basically non-existent, never had any intimate relationsships while slowly getting close to 30, most of my hobbies were neglected for years and have become real lacklusters.

Getting into vtubers made me realize (again) for how long I've been neglecting myself. Loneliness is slowly yet steadily eating me up from inside while life is feeling painfully stale. As cheesy as it sounds, but I really feel like it lit a spark for me to change for the better, learn about new things I've been curious for so long and living the life I want.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2433564
no because some retarded thread about an ERP hololive stock market bumped her thread off the board.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2433564
Maybe a little. Basically my life hasn't changed at all, and things will be worse in future, but my oshi does put a smile on my face. I'm trying to watch all her streams live, sometimes putting off other things for later. I like to watch her and enjoy her successes. I understand that this is temporary, but I am trying to enjoy what I have now.

[Anonymous No.]

Between her and Holofightz my sleep schedule is pretty decent but everything else is still on fire. Better than nothing.

[Anonymous No.]

No. No it hasn't. The honeymoon period ended months ago but I still watch her when I find her streaming, even though I have the schedule right *there*. I think my main problem is that I am still in college thus tied to them. It is inconsiderate of me but I envy those neets, white-collars and jobhunters. Being in reins (theoretically) of your life must be great

No it's awful you lose track of whats important quickly and end up in an endless cycle of trying to change and failing at the first hurdle, throwing you back into weeks of inactivity.

I'm not sure who my oshi is honestly.
But it's getting very close to being lamy or polka.
I guess I just have a thing for parasocial relationships, and frankly it makes me feel good, even if it's not real.

It made me get up earlier and motivated me to do things I dropped. The catch is I became a turbo fan to the point of obsession, also it awakened my dormant sexual impulses so there are days I get horny 24 hrs.

Getting /out/ is good for your health! I assume you live in gringoland so it is easier to get out of your home. I live in south america, if my oshi didn't gave it away and things are very authoritarian... even though you'll be working for little, you'll avoid getting rusty

Aqua is probably the girl I care the most about (and the one I've bought the most merch of) and she's made life more bearable. When I was in college I'd put her stream on in the background while I worked on papers and stuff. Now, I listen to her at work while slaving away in front of a computer.
Although, it's been hard to get a chance to watch her. I work for a Japanese company and I'm always scared the jps will find out I'm a weeb.
