So I suppose I owe a small bit of an answer to the question I posed about a year ago: Where to go from here?
I think I have decided a few changes for what I intend on doing with this platform, as small as it is XD...
For one, I believe i will be making a few updates to my funni Vtuber model and some changes to how my OBS is configured since i will have to start from scratch due to me getting a new PC. Unfortunately I am bad at accepting change so I've been putting it off for some time, but alas I have missed streaming if i'm honest. So expect a few updates on that in the coming days.
Secondly, I wanted to at least take a part of what I do on stream and make it a place to glorify God. I would never claim to be holy nor do I ever think I will ever know enough to properly express any proper teaching in its entirety without mistakes. My thinking is that, at least one part of any future streams will be a bit that I give to Jesus to help further my own faith. Be it a daily reading that I'm on, the intended Daily Mass Readings, or simply a prayer. I know it is possible for someone to say that it is best to practice such things in private, by one's self... and to not make a public display of faith. And to some degree I understand, but to those who would say that, I would reply: Sure, but I would not be doing it for the sake of "looking good"... frankly I would do it regardless of there being 0 people watching the stream or there being 10+. It is for the purpose of taking something I enjoy and also inviting Jesus to be a part of it and not keeping the two separate like I previously did. I invite all of you to join me for those parts of my stream, but I also understand that it may be polarizing to some. Feel free to not take part in that if it is something you do not wish to watch.
I hope you all have a wonderful and amazing day. And I genuinely look forward to seeing you all again on stream. See ya in the very near future
Ngl it is truly disappointing seeing what my feed has turned into after nearly a year of inactivity.
Just because I was gone does not mean i'm now interested in every hot-button political issue ever.
I wanna see funni VTubers be silly! Pleaseee gimme your silliest VTubers!!
Heya goobs! I know I've been kinda absent for a bit, been working on some stuffs but in the mean time, here go check out a fren that has recently started his stream journey:

Where I've Been, Why, and Where I go From Here:
Howdy, So it has been quite a month (eh close enough, shh). So I guess for context I'll explain why I up and left and tell a bit of what happened in the interim.
So, I suppose to give a bit of background: Over the course of the last couple months I felt like my mental state was slowly on the decline and if I'm completely honest there are several reasons for this.
Firstly, the internet as a whole, especially on sites such as this, has a tendency to be so soul crushing and anxiety inducing I simply needed a break from hearing the hive mind to help clear my own mind and let me think for myself for once without the influence of the heavily biased rhetoric of the internet..
Secondly, over the course of my time as a Vtuber I feel like I have created a false facsimile of what I feel represents me, my views, my values, and what I believe to be true. To that end, I would actively avoid voicing what I thought for the sake of appeasing others or avoiding conflict, that isn't to say that I have anything that is bad to say, but the fact of the matter is that I would fear the judgement of others and simply choose to obfuscate the truth or lie and nod my head and silently agree. And well, over time the person I portray no longer aligned with who I believe I am.
Lastly, certain circumstances had drastically changed what I believed I should stand for... but frankly I was a weak man and wouldn't stand by those convictions. I would simply lie or omit details so I would still "fit in".
Well I'm done trying to fit in, I'll be more honest and be more me. So, let me be honest with you all and I'll tell my story.
On May 4th 2025, I found God in a local church within my little town. Truthfully, I was likely between being Agnostic or Atheist since I was the age of 10, I'd be one of the first to argue against religious claims or crack wise jokes at the expense of Christians. I was such an unhappy kid, my words filled with malice or my actions working for my own benefit alone, but at my core I felt so broken.... I recall the dozens of times I would have to go to a doctor or physiatrist to see about fixing the awful suicidal thoughts I would have, especially when I was 17 and 20. And the answer was always the same, load this kid up on antidepressants and send him on his way. While it did take the bad feelings away it also took all of the good ones with it. I gave therapy a try at one point and well lets just say I likely wouldn't be going back to that guy again, its funny in retrospect but the guy would go on and on about his own life and would repeat the same 4-5 questions every time I went. So, eventually I just stop going, and stop taking the prescription I was given.
Well we'll fast forward a bit and around January or February of 2024, and I recall coming home one day and I get this nagging feeling... And its just going "You need to get a Bible." over and over. Well that comes and goes over a couple days, and me and a couple friends do one of our usual stops at a bookstore, usually to grab whatever fantasy book interests me at the time... but I find myself in the section with all the bibles. And that feeling comes back "You need to get one, doesn't matter which kind... you just need to get a Bible". So I wander the store a bit, yet I still keep coming back to that section. So I get some cheap little Bible and end up buying it. I go home and crack it open and try my hand at reading Genesis... And MAN that book is a hard read to get through XD. But I get through Genesis and end up putting it down for a while. But that spark is there...
Around the beginning of this year, I end up getting the job I currently work at and meet up with an old highschool friend at a supermarket. We talk for nearly 2 hours in the middle of the store catching up about where we've been and what we've been up to... and it just so happens we work at the same exact place. Small world, I reckon? Well somehow we get onto the topic of religion, and I timidly tell him that I was sorta kinda becoming a Christian, but in my mind it was all so uncertain. He immediately chimes in with telling about feeling like he wanted to mention the bible study group he was in, but he knew how I was when I was younger and was understandably hesitant. I figure just to humor him I'd stop by at least once to see what it was like. I go there and turns out my boss, the guy who is actively working to help me improve in my career, is the one who leads the group... Certainly unexpected to say the least. At the time I was very unfamiliar with the aspects of Christianity and the certain stuff works, but looking back there is 0 doubt in my mind that that was the God working through those around me to bring me towards Him.
Eventually I decide I want to try going to church for the first time since I was maybe 6. Truthfully the first one I wasn't the biggest fan of as it felt very "showy" it was almost akin to going to concert or event. It didn't feel quite right. A few weeks go by before I try again, I decide for familiarity's sake I would go to the same church my sister goes to, and truly by the end of it I felt like crying due to how strongly I felt His presence reaching for me. Almost felt like He was saying, "I'm so glad you're home." I continue going to that church for some time and as stated earlier on May 4th 2025 I was saved.
But to be honest with myself, you, and most of all God; afterward I do not believe I started my journey off on the right foot. Due to the overwhelming anxiety of wanting to "fit in" i would purposefully omit details about what I was doing or lie how I felt about certain things. Almost as if I was embarrassed of being a Christian, like it was some big secret that would suddenly make people hate me. Or as if I wasn't proud to be walking with Him. And while it very well may change how people think of me, or it may make some dislike me; that's simply a sacrifice I'm willing to make in order to try and make myself right with God.
So I state with all my heart: Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. He died on the cross to save me from my sin, and believe that God had raised Him from the grave.
So... where do I go from here? Frankly I don't know. But here are the things I do know: From here on, God will be my primary priority. I shall make no compromise or sway from this. I pray that in some way you are guided towards him, and perhaps my own testimony may help in some way. I reckon we will see where the road takes us from here, but I cannot thank God enough for bringing me where I am today, I likely at the happiest point in my life because of Him.
I've kinda been sitting back and watching as this bullshit unfolds.
If at any point I am required to submit my ID for any of my socials, I will cease any and all creation activities.
There are statements they will not keep records of your ID after verification. But after all the lies spouted these fucks, please tell me why the hell we should trust that?? Its gonna be real interesting when there is a data breach that reveals that everyone's IDs have been leaked along with a profile ledger about each and every one who submitted their ID. And this is just the cybersecurity side of this! That's not even mentioning how this could be used and abused to censor or silence people. This is only the first step in something that will likely get far worse.

Oh yeah! Forgor to say something publicly. I'm likely gonna be gone the majority of this week due to a funni business trip.
I believe ya should see me again on Thrusday on @AriaBIbaraVT 's channel for funni Undertale w/ @Lingpai56 :3
Yahoyy!!! Me and the funni dorgo are back at it again with some Undertale Yellow!!! I WANNA BE A COWBOY, BABYYYY!!!!
Come swing by the funni Purple app for some silly voices, very stupid jokes, and a ton of chaos with @Lingpai56
I'm very disappointed in all of you. Why aren't you wearing the cursed amulet?
Frankly, I dont quite think you are having as many evil thoughts as you should be. If your daily sacrifice quota continues to dwindle, I'll have no choice but to report this to the council.
