When I see Piller,I wanna fill'er!
I can’t stop thinking about hugging Pillow in her Christmas outfit. Just think how soft she’d feel as you hold her, and how frail her arms would feel as she tries and fails to hug you tightly because she has zero strength. Imagine her scent as she’s freshly showered because she wanted to make sure everything was as perfect as possible before she showed you her outfit
>>107784957This is really nice.
>>107784957(me)I bet Pillow gives the nicest, soul-healing hugs
I think Pillow needs hugs more than I do.
https://x.com/i/status/2001719504112677133This one's getting to me.
>>107785902Oh my lord she wants to be a horse
>>107767154Pillow really does want it on all fours...
>>107786642Lol that was my post last thread. Again I wouldn't mind at all, atleast she wants to have fun and not care too deeply about what others think.
>>107784957This is why people have tulpas.
>>107786642>>107786894It was an innocent post about being a cute baby horse.
>>107790051I will draw her running and falling over very cutely, and without evil in my soul. She deserves nothing but love and adoration for being such a decent woman.
>>107790416That sounds lovely piwwo, thank you.
Hopefully Pillow does another meet and greet in VR Chat for the opportunity to give her a hug
I can’t stop thinking about hugging Pillow
>>107792239She mentioned that the VR event she was planning for next year would probably require an entry fee. I imagine it will be something like a M&G.
>>107792547I’m so curious to know what it is. Even if it costs a bit for us, it’s so nice of her to try to do something that everybody can partake in no matter where in the world they are
Shondo, a chuuba who is very similar to Pillow, both in the origin of their parasocial mindset, and her relationship to her community, has officially broken up with the husbands and established firmer boundaries. Thoughts?
>>107793676I just hope it makes her happier. I don't follow her, but she seems like a very troubled person.
>>107793676Keep this drama bullshit outta here dude.
>>107793676I have a friend who's a Shondo fan relaying most of her situation to me. I want to start by saying that this is an incredibly inaccurate and misleading summary of Shondo's entire situation. She hasn't "broken up" with her community; she's in a position where she needs to prioritize her life outside of streaming. Do you know why? Because her mother's dead, she's taking care of siblings, effectively making her a legal guardian of kids, and she's trying to stay in therapy for all of it. Shondo cannot possibly handle the emotional weight of all of her fans right now, as she's dealing with all of this. She literally mentioned on stream earlier today that she doesn't even want to be alive. What she needs is support more than anything, not for shitters like you to go around shitting on her, other communities, and GFE as a whole.Get out and never come back.
>>107793676Please keep this stuff out of this thread. I have some shondophrenic friends and it's fairly obvious that her situation is uniquely awful and strenuous and has been for a long time, its not possible to compare her to anybody else, especially pillow.I only wish the best for everybody involved. But its not a conversation meant for this thread.
>>107793750She's never been a stable person, I've never been particularly engaged with her, but I know that she's always had massive mental problems. I heavily recommend checking out what she was talking about on her stream today, if anything it's just some interesting insights into the type of shit streamers have to deal with. I think the thing that stuck out the most to me was how much she's heard "You're making me worse", and how much that always hurt her. It makes sense, when your bills rely on acting a certain way and having a certain relationship towards your community, you can't back out of it casually or easily, it's really scary.
Pillow just wants to be happy with all piwwos (^^)
>>107793972This is true!I love her so much
>>107793972So true. She's got a pleasant dream ready for us in about an hour
>>107793904>I heavily recommend checking out what she was talking about on her stream todayNot to sound mean, but I don't really care. I have sympathy for her, but I've always found her intensely annoying and I think she's brought some of this on herself with the kind of people she deliberately appeals to. The comparison with Pillow seems odd.
>>107794052They’re just someone trying to bait that’s all
>>107794052That feels pretty backhandedly insulting to the Piwwos considering, as mentioned above, the two communities aren't exactly massively separated.
>>107794100I think it's good to assume good faith. I don't mind talking about it. These threads have been so slow.>>107794118That's not how I meant it. Like I said, I don't follow Shondo so I'm not familiar with her community, but it seems very different to Pillow's—which makes sense, because Shondo's a very different personality.
Christmas is next week piwwos, don't forget your santa hats.
Hello I see /pillow/ pop up sometimes. Can you tell me about her? The thread doesn’t have a description on her
>>107794228Pillow is a very sweet girl who wants nothing more than to spend time with her Piwwos and to make them happy. She always tries her best, so she tends to be very self-critical if she feels like she gives anything less than 100%. She has a bit of a childish demeanor and interests at times, but I think it's an adorable part of her personality
>>107794276Childish? Cunny?
>>107794228She's a very wholesome and overwelmingly sweet girl who is very very deeply in love and attached to her community. She's one of the pillars of the ASMR community, but she also does other shit too.
shoncuck refugees are not welcome here btwkeep your fat smelly chud asses far away from Pillow's community
>>107794293Absolutely none of that. She's very strictly SFW/seiso.
>>107794293I personally view her more like a slightly autistic girlfriend of several years who's gotten comfortable enough with me that she is totally relaxed and vulnerable, and enjoys acting more childish because she's in her safe space. She's actually really fucking professional and intelligent, she just also likes to be colorful and do things like macaroni art streams.
Pillow sounds cute. I will look at her asmr tonight
>>107794350That's a good description. She's not childish in that incredibly obnoxious and put-on way that a lot of VTubers are.
>>107794197I'm fully aware that the situation is not fully analogous to Pillow, but I also think that Shondo's little rant had a bunch of good points in it that are interesting and worth discussion. >>107793904As I mention here, how many dozens of times have you guys seen Piwwos mention how they feel like their parasocial attachment to her has made things worse on them. A lot of pretty dedicated Piwwos have even fully pulled away from her because they felt like their attachment to her was fucking with their ability to advance in life. I think it's important to consider how Pillow feels from all of that, it's not like she made some kind of calculated decision to have a really parasocial relationship to her community, it kinda just ended up that way.
If any of you are new here, do keep in mind that Pillow and her community are very strictly SFW only. She will not ever make dirty jokes, nor does she appreciate having dirty jokes directed at her
>>107794448But we like to talk about pillow butt here, just don’t do it in her chat please
>>107794423Her earnestness is one of her best features, but also she's really smart and responsible, so she's a deadly weapon. Hence why she hasn't had any controversies, she's better at handling herself than even corporate trained talents with PR training.
>>107794446>Piwwos have even fully pulled away from her because they felt like their attachment to her was fucking with their ability to advance in lifeMy heart honestly just breaks for them. I wish they could learn to adjust and live with the relationship that they chose for themself in the same way that I have. I like to consider myself as one of the dedicated ones, but I also use this as motivation to do better with my own life because she makes me feel like I deserve better. It's sad that others can't handle it and break down. Some have even begun to actively anti her because of it. She's seen this happen a couple of times, and it's broken her heart a few times, but she's a surprisingly tough girl.
>>107794497It’s a wonder why she isn’t in a big corpo
>>107794538I can understand it honestly, particularly for the older Piwwos who have been dedicated for many years. As much as we like to cope on here, having a favorite streamer who kinda knows your username and likes your comments on her tweets isn't nearly the same thing as an actual girlfriend you can kiss. Being super into Pillow isn't just hoe-scaring, but her desire to monopolize attention also makes it hard to progress on non-Pillow relationships without guilt.
>>107794565She probably doesn't want to audition as it might ruin/damage the environment she wants. Corpos have content requirements usually, and the ones that don't tend to go under. Also, not to be rude but her numbers are not the best, making it likely the larger corpos wouldn't approach her.
>>107794565She's made really good friends with Alias and Nene very early on, as well as having had a really fast acceleration to getting to where she can live decently off full-time vtubing. If things were slower for her, she probably would have felt like she had to join a corp just to be able to live off her career. I don't think she'd ever even consider it now though, the only thing a corp could possibly offer is more exposure and audience, and she's mentioned before how she actively isn't looking to grow that much. As long as she can make chicken alfredo and give her Piwwos ASMR, she's happy, I feel like she'd actually be pretty unhappy if she was growing a ton, since the more she grows the harder it is to be parasocial towards the Piwwos.
>>107794698Why aren’t her numbers better?
>>107794747Her graph is pretty weirdly shaped. She started with several tens of thousands of subs already from about 3 years of making ASMR audios prior to vtubing. Then, early in her career she also spammed a ton of collabs and got really integrated into the ASMR/GFE vtubing community. Her more recent numbers have dipped down really really low, a good example being her 150k stream where she got less than 1k subs in the span of a whole celebration stream. I think the biggest reason for that is actually intentional, she's mentioned before how she doesn't try to optimize for growth-oriented streams, but instead just wants to spend time with Piwwos.
>>107794698As weird as it is to think about, the whole Selen situation was not actually that long after she started streaming. The entire last few years of vtubing has been a slow decline of the corps. Unironically right now the most optimal thing to do is join a corp for maybe a few years tops, then leave and take your audience with you, but Pillow could never even consider that.
Pillow has just never had any interest in ever joining a corpo. Hell, she never even considered that this would become a full on job. Making audios all those years ago was just in hopes that she could possibly help somebody out with their own loneliness. Eventually, it became profitable enough for her to move into her first ever apartment, even if it was a cheap tiny one. She started streaming from there, this time in hopes of having fun with a live audience. Her end goal isn’t money, fame, or something shallow like that. Her end goal is to be happy and make other people happy
>>107794446>>107794538>>107794646I don't know what my problem is, because I feel like pulling away from Pillow (and I already have, relative to a few months ago) but I don't think it'll improve my life at all lol
>>107795358My hot take is that pulling back on a girl you don't think you can actually be with is perfectly reasonable.
>>107795524Well yeah, that's what it is for me, but shouldn't I be able to enjoy spending time with her anyway? I want to, but I don't.
>>107795684As much as I encourage people to still enjoy her without needing to be parasocially attached, mostly because I know how utterly depressing it is for her to know that if she were to suddenly be married or whatever, she'd lose 40% of her audience and 99.9% of her closest supporters, I wouldn't be nearly as engaged with her if I wasn't a yearner. I still watched her a little bit before I decided to yearnmaxx, caught some comfy mornings and watched ASMRs, but I feel like a massive part of her appeal is the feeling that she's a cute little wife.
>>107795778She's adorable, but I never thought of her as my wife or girlfriend. That's why I never really used pet names or engaged with the roleplay stuff. The idea of earning that for real was much more appealing to me (though I no longer believe in my ability to do that).
With all due respect, using Shondos situation as an excuse to push for some kind of discussion about "le GFE bad" is quite low. People using a surface level knowledge of some recent event should really try to keep in mind that different people are different. At the end of the day, that's going to be what it falls down to. Making parallels is unnecessary and a little annoying. And also just off-topic outright.
>>107796201gfe is just women taking advantage of mentally ill and lonely menit's the same as people who scam old folks
>>107796242I don't think it's necessarily malicious. It certainly isn't in Pillow's case.
>>107796284Piwwo this moron is a troll stop replying please and focus on our cute wife
>>107796284I am certain Pillow doesn’t even really think of it as GFE. She wouldn’t categorize herself into the same box as someone like Alias, who, you can tell off a solid 3 mins of watching, is fully aware of what she is doing and doesn’t care about anything but getting money and engagement. Pillow never planned anything to be how it is.
She is my girlfriend and that's okay
>>107796326I've got her on in the background.
>>107793676>shondo>similar to PillowWhat the fuck are you smoking?
>>107796242Unironically kill yourself
>>107796388It's literally just a GFE anti, AKA the most schizophrenic kind of poster on this whole cursed board unironically
>>107796242pillow can scam all my cummies
>>107796351I don't think it's necessarily that cynical, either.
she's saying all the right words, brosmy heart is melting, fuck
Pillow loves us romantically and if you can't tell that from just watching her after a while you are probably just genuinely autisticHow can you listen to this beautiful sweet girl and not feel in your heart how important we are and how important this relationship she has with us is to her, some people are so tone-deaf it scares meLearn to believe in beautiful things
>>107796558that's what shondo used to do too
>>107796555My cold hands are warming up, my frozen heart is melting. Pillow is a miracle in the form of a vtuber.
>>107796662Take your bait elsewhere schizo
>>107796555It's sweet but the positive affirmations go right through me. I've never found them convincing and I don't like hearing about myself. She's a much better person than I am; I'd rather be telling her how great she is.>>107796558Good for you.
>>107796662Why do you keep mentioning that menhera like she's anything remotely similar to pillow? You get what you pay for when you watch girls who cater towards loli shit.
I really wonder what it feel like to have Pillow clean my ears. I imagine it would feel good because she would be very gentle and careful the entire time.
I now remember her talking about how she caresses the mic like it's our head and holds it close and is always extra careful and truly treats it like us and it makes me feel so happy
I hate to criticize Pillow, but I think something about her mic settings is making the ear cleaning sound too sharp and rough
her mic settings have been a little wonky for a while now but I mostly listen to the ASMR for the injection of love and happiness into my veins from what she tells us during them and don't get tingles so it doesn't necessarily bother me too much, that said i know some people do wish she fixed them up a bit
pillow CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cute cute
It's a cold night in Gotham
I love herI LOVE HER
Pillow cute!
puppy eyes CUTE
I really needed this stream today this has been very comforting and very nice to listen to
instant classic?
>>107010391you can thank me for tonight's asmrmaybe
>>107799633she also sang santa baby for like 2 seconds.she's doing everything short of just saying she browses here but it's still not solid proof. it's driving me insane.
I actually want to spend forever with her.
>>107793676>Pillow is like shondoYeah nah. You're not from here.
>>107800130Clearly some envious cunt upset his toddlerbait chuuba is quitting GFE, taking his anger out on more seiso girls like Pillow.
I think the people bringing in Shondo's stream and news are being done in bad faith, and we shouldn't engage; instead, we should simply tell them to get out. I can only say that my heart goes out to all the other Shondo fans who feel hurt after today. I only ask other Piwwos to be kind if any seek refuge here
>>107800351> I only ask other Piwwos to be kind if any seek refuge here>Be kinda to the mentally illYou don’t want them here or anywhere
>>107800891Be kind piwwo, even when it's hard. Hell, especially when it's hard.I'm also hard after that asmr
