I was here for this and it was amazing. Mel just ... kinda got a hype train out of nowhere on an unscheduled guerilla stream and broke all of her records.
@@RisqueBisquetz I wonder how much of a mess the rules are there. I mean, Zen's been able to collab on Lethal Company with Reimu so it's not a total blacklist.
@@Tachii31ofc it isn't, nijis have collabed with vshojo all the time. The rule is most likely just that ex nijis can't collab with active nijis. Btw that sounds like an interesting lethal group, gotta look it up ^^
Mata’s whole joke about “inhabiting a body that used to stream on its own” is the single greatest rebranding I’ve ever seen in the VTuber sphere. Like totally unabashedly acknowledging her past *just short* of explicitly stating it. Genius.
@@ResidentWeevil2077 Kinda, I suspect it's a proper noise suppression filter, either set up by her to muffle the noise of her toys during her other streams, or maybe one of Discord's built-in filters which are known to be aggressive (e.g. I had to disable it, half my sentences were cut). Then again, I'm no audio engineer.
Matara you have honestly showed me the type of personality and individual that I realize I need in my life. You are so positive, driven, and just an amazing person (alien insect, sorry). I hope your community continues to grow
Mel is such a fucking riot. These two together are so very enjoyable., I'm so glad vShjo got the roach mom. She's such a wonderful person and genuinely enjoyable. And well, Mel is Mel. I'm kidding love you Mel. Love you too Matara. Ya'll are wonderful.
As someone who has recovered from illness and has been steadily working out and increasing my calorie count, all the workout talk from Mata is like a warm hug from your favorite aunt telling you you're doing a good job and I am M O T I V A T E D
I was one of those people who decided to start exercising seriously during covid. Now there is nothing to motivate me to go back to the routine of waking up early, eating well, exercising and simply being happier. I hope I can get out of this circle soon because I really want to go back to that version, but there is always something that stops me.
Sorry, this is slightly unrelated, but i just had a random convo with a friend this week: This is actually one of the prime examples for people in favor of a UBI (universal basic income). Even without work, people will not just sit and do nothing. They will work on themselves, or do community events, or just go out and find work they find fulfilling to pay for hobbies. (I hope you can get back to that level too. It's been a rough year 🥲).
@@Tessa_Ru Not to mention that we'd still be spending money on those things we want to do, which would circulate funds throughout the economy with more room to actually live life instead of working to survive. That said, it would need to be low enough that it's not liveable on it's own, or people wouldn't work anymore, and would no longer occupy necessary jobs and positions - this has been proven throughout history, so we'd need to take efforts to avoid the same mistakes.
@SpaceMonkey1900 No problem, I played the first one recently, and it was really fun, honestly. If nothing else, check out the "Cornered" Theme from that game.
In response to the whole Covid mention: "Uncle Iroh ain't having none of your lazy lockdown excuses. He went from round to RIPPED all while locked in a tiny prison cell!"
financial bullying is a very strange phenomenon to have emerged via streamers/Vtubers - but it is funny and may count as a form of wealth redistribution
Matara's love for chaos is a direct line to my heart and I'm vulnerable. This redirecting of love and chaos directly to Mel's pocketbook and TTS is just amazing. Exactly what I would do with that kind of power.
The workout thing is so relatable, I tried those unhealthy diets on the internet when I was younger, it messed up my digestive system so I learned it the hard way…Happy to see Mata focusing on her health ☺️ It motivates me to workout more!
Matara legit does this to one of her friends every chance she gets. It’s both out of teasing but she just loves seeing her friends getting supported as well. She’s such a loving Russian roach.
Im like mataras isnt that old i mean after all she does do a lot of positive thibns it seems like just like she said that she started working out thats amazing bc i know olfer people who just sat and ate and didnt do anything like my grandma irl
Muscle building is a painful process if you want to build it quickly. You CAN turn into a beef stack within two months... but you are going to have a lot of nights where you wake up twitching cuz your muscle memory is running you through your workouts in your sleep.
Matara mentions keeping her back straight as one of the first advantages to having muscles.. Does she have something big weighing her down? Maybe big and soft and…
Mel at 0:27: "oh my god you are our first *'GILF'* ?" *Mata why'd u let her do you like that???* like, eww. I don't like the sound of that also, is it true? You're officially a granny now? What's the new kid's name? Let me give that one a blessing 😂😇
So, she was working out and trying to be slim in the early 2000s now lets say she was between 16 and 20 yrs at that time. She would be between 40 and 44yrs old today.
This comment reminded me of the time some Reddit user tried to measure Pyrocynical’s height by comparing it to an Among Us plushy that was near his shelf. According to them he was 8 Among Us plushies tall.
Sorry bud, we figured this one out in her past life. Born 1992, the being-old shtick is just her character and it works with the default audience being at least 1 generation younger.
