Reacting and Laughing to VTUBER clips YOU sent #1

[@NagzzDiscovers]

Really excited for this series. I also think clips are a big way for Vtubers to be discovered ( how I and many have found them ) I hope not only this brings tons of laughs for us all, but also encourages others to venture out to check other Vtubers than their favorites! Thanks for all the love as always everyone!

Nagzz I discovered you thanks to Nux. Love your stuff dude. Your super kind. Really refreshing.

[@vhalrougelarfouxe]

Now Nagzz, I am seriously saying this. Read Metamorphosis at your own peril. It won't be that life changing but it will make you think of life and how fortunate we are. It is profoundly thought provoking.

I will never, ever, get tired of watching people react to Mousey singing for the first time. I am always in awe of her talent.

[@mrrodgers0]

And the fact that she's pushing through an illness that fucks her respiratory system just makes it all the more impressive. Like, what did she sound like *before*?

[@DragonxFlutter]

Is she a fucking golden age Disney Princess??? HOLY SHIT, she’s got PIPES.

[@jubbalubby]

Chat is the real content creator lmao that improv Rick roll was peak content Edit: Also Mousey's singing is legit insane. She went to art school b4 her condition got worse and doesn't matter how much she downplays her ability, the talent and practice is still there. I really hope Mousey can recover soon so she will be able to do what she likes and persue her dreams.

[@AsphyxiaLaguz]

Ain't no recovering from her illness unfortunately.

[@RichyArg]

@@AsphyxiaLaguz no, but she can get better and as long as she's super careful can do more stuff, her immune deficiency isn't actually what got her bedridden, as i understood it, it was a lung infection that got way out of control because of her compromised immune system, so yeah, she sadly may not be able to be an "outside person" but she could, in theory, be more active, perhaps only within her own home, but her condition can improve, as it has already improved quite a lot over the last year or so.

[@Arassar]

Yeah CVID is manageable, but who knows how long it might take her to recover with that condition

It's incredible that Ironmouse is still able to sing the way she has during that last clip. One wouldn't expect her to sing that way with her voice she talks to chat every time she streams. But it's still a great thing she can continue to sing. It's great that Nagzz also got to experience it through one of her best singing clips

she has big health problems so she can't force too much, that's why she doesn't often sing like that.

Man, Ironmouse is a very talented person. I mean I'm not trying to discredit anybody that might help her behind the scenes if/when she needs it but man, she is an amazing person and I wish for her a long, healthy, and happy life.

[@EndoftheBeginning17]

This comment is eight months later. A few months ago Mouse sang for 2 hours straight. It was every single intro for every season of Super Sentai (all Japanese intros) - sang every thing back to back for 2 hours straight. That's far more intense that the typical singer on stage who might do 10 songs not over 30, god knows how long she rehearsed it but it must have taken a long time.

[@HawkEyeTS]

I had mostly watched clips and collabs where I had seen Ironmouse and the other vShoujo girls act like a group of gremlins (which to be clear, I think is hilarious). Because of this, I didn't know details about her health issues beyond that she had a serious condition that kept her bedridden, and that streaming was letting her pay for treatment. The willpower and effort to pull that off is impressive alone, but when I came in at the tail end of one of her streams and she suddenly sang 'And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going', I was utterly dumbstruck. That she has effectively pulled herself back from a "make her as comfortable as possible before..." state to not only streaming regularly, but being able to move around her room again, and despite fighting with lung damage, belt out such an amazing voice for short periods, is truly inspiring. I can't help but be brought to tears when I hear her sing now, and hope that things continue to improve for her.

[@mayborneflower]

Seven months late to this party but Tuxedo Mask is Sailor Moon’s true love, boyfriend, and eventual husband. As the name may indicate, he wears a black tuxedo and white domino mask. He’s also the closest thing to a Sailor Earth in the series because past life shenanigans mean that the planet Earth is his birthright and he turns into Tuxedo Mask in a similar fashion to Sailor Moon and her party. He also varies wildly between the original manga and the first anime adaption. In the manga, he starts out with no powers and was basically just a sharp-dressed jewel thief with him and Sailor Moon starting to bond and form strong feelings for one another once they get some time alone. Then he got captured and brainwashed towards the tail end of the first arc, which got him in tune with his powers and connection to the planet itself from his past life. Which in turn carried over once he was returned to the side of good, after that point he steadily climbed up in power to be at Sailor Moon’s side in battle… for the most part. Long story. He was brainwashed on occasion but he was way more helpful than he wasn’t. In the first anime adaption from the 90’s, Moon and Tux had a much rockier start because they’d be constantly bickering and would hardly ever see eye to eye. Chances of them hooking up further slimmed thanks to Sailor Mars (herself radically changed from being wary of men to a bit boy-crazed, going from manga to anime) asking him out and him really just humoring her affections. Eventually the villains would find out Tuxedo Mask’s identity and call him out to a duel (a quirk of this adaption is that he actually had powers from the start but his Tuxedo Mask persona was a second personality he had no awareness of) with Sailor Moon happening upon him en route and tailing him. This paves the way them finding out who the other is and dropping everything to hook up. As for the whole “Tuxedo Mask doesn’t help much” thing, that comes from this anime. In most of Sailor Moon’s fights with monsters of the week, Tuxedo Mask would intervene by throwing a rose between her and the enemy, tossing some words of encouragement, and bailing once the girls got their second wind. Well, till about partway into the third storyline out of five. Also his powers didn’t scale up with the girls over time like in the manga so he rapidly became useless in fights after the second arc. And to top off the trifecta of suck, he got brainwashed and/or captured way more often in the old anime.
