TakoDD*

As you may be able to tell, I enjoy vtubers!
I tend to watch more live streams and clips over VODs. So most commonly I'm popping into streams to watch.For Hololive I suffer in DD (Daredemo Daisuki).
All of their talents are great and it is especially fun to see their collaborations. EN may be easiest for me to watch since I don't yet know Japanese, but I'll tune into ID and JP streams too with the help of some translation add-ons. For Holostars, I also mostly watch EN but I like the JP too like "Winning Son" Roberu even if I'm not very knowledgable about them.
There are so many indies out there I can only casually watch so many of them. Some I enjoy are OniGiri, Nimi, Laimu, Mint, Dooby, Saba, Doki, etc.For vtubers overall, I think it is such a wonderfully fun and flexible concept. There are so many ways to use the medium creatively, from the design of the avatars to imaginative lore and stories to new ideas for experimental content. technology, and ways to interact with fans.As for how I got started, I'm pretty sure it was Pekora who got me started down the vtuber and Hololive "rabbit hole", and then came along EN a bit later with the finishing blow removing the language barrier. There was no escape.^{*Takodachi are canonical shapeshifters after all...}

I enjoy creating and drawing when I can find the time, although my inspiration can be pretty fickle and works best when I find a need to fill.I have made submissions to fan birthday projects, anniversary projects, graduation projects, and talent's streams.
I have worked on Hololive fan projects like happi and banners.
And I've also done some of my own mini projects and community contributions such as the creation of useful info-graphics and guides to share.
( Sock's Ticketmaster Buying Guide )For what I doodle up, I like making fun images to use as emoji, and occasionly there may be a cursed idea or two that have sprung to mind from early AM conversations and project work lolI'm also considering maybe making some custom merch runs at some point. I've done some one offs in the past and I've got more ideas... I just need the time @_@
