  You could also check out Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. It's a bit of slow burn, but that's mostly because it's themed around memory, nostalgia, and the passage of time using the concept of a young elf who once adventured with a party of shorter-lived races, like mortal humans and the time that comes after.

  Part of why Mouse had become distanced from Aethel and Nyanners was that Nyanners had decided at one point to not renew her Vshojo contract. After that management personel in Vshojo trash-talked the former members. Also, there were non-disclosure deals after members left that limited what could be discussed about the company. So this climate of isolating  kind of ruined some friendships, and made others distance themselves from each other.

  Tsundere is a trope where a person(typically girls) act mean but are actually big softies, a lot of the time in anime its seen romantically but doesn’t necessarily need to be

  Ironmouse has a whole website with all her models, most of those are of the pretty expensive side. Sometimes she'll randomly have a new one or get one made for some occasion when she finds a artist she likes, it's her sort of way of giving back to some of the community that helped her get too where she's at today

  Ironmouse is one of my biggest inspirations in life in general. A true example that you dont have to let what you cant control define your life. Loved the reaction and highly recommend on your own time or for videos reacting to some of Mousey&apos;s songs and song covers!<br><br>I did also want to take the time to say that even with what little you&apos;ve done. I honestly love the chill and cozy vibes of you just reacting to videos at your own pace. Whether or not you stream I definitely think you have a knack for this(With the help of your &apos;team&apos; of course.)<br><br>P.S <br><br>I promise you that if you continue down the Vtuber rabbit hole whether you like it or not their unhinged potty mouths and humor will most assuredly effect you over time :P

  This was written to be posted last night, but my internet died.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=1">0:01</a> Me, knowing which music clips were used in this video, upon seeing you were reacting to this video: &nbsp;Oh dear...<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=2190">36:30</a> Like Greebo6799, I am perfectly at home watching and talking about anime, vtubers, etc. even as an adult. &nbsp;I long ago stopped caring what negative people thought of my hobbies. &nbsp;I don&apos;t feel embarrassed for ME, I feel embarrassed for THEM, showing their own immaturity by acting all superior and judgemental about what others enjoy. &nbsp;My favorite quote on the topic is by C.S. Lewis:<br><br>&quot;Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow.&quot;<br><br>&quot;But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.&quot;<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=2450">40:50</a> Connor and Mouse in this clip are actually in a VR Chat world that acts like one of those games like Overcooked or Plate Up.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=2850">47:30</a> &quot;Shipping&quot; comes from &quot;Relationship&quot;. &nbsp;It originated in X-Files fandom, from people suggesting Mulder and Scully should be romantic, and has come to generally refer to fans advocating for who they think should be (or in their mind are already) in a relationship. &nbsp;This is related to the term &quot;ship name&quot;, where people often combine the names of a couple into a combined nickname, like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez getting named &quot;Bennifer&quot;.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=3600">1:00:00</a> Burger King Foot Lettuce is a meme. &nbsp;https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/burger-king-foot-lettuce<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=3703">1:01:43</a> Because I know you are interested in tech stuff ... Ironmouse also exists in a galaxy far, far away (unofficially). &nbsp;I built a functional Star Wars Mouse droid named Iron MSE which plays songs and quotes from her streams, and also has display panels that can show videos.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=4320">1:12:00</a> Mouse goes into this in her video. &nbsp;The issue was that Mouse was going to donate half of her Twitch subscription income for the Subathon month to the charity. &nbsp;Because it was twitch sub income, not direct donations, it couldn&apos;t go directly to the charity. &nbsp;VShojo had long been handling Mouse&apos;s twitch income (and other stuff) for her to protect her privacy, and was supposed to make the donation on her behalf once the subathon ended and the total was known.

  A Tsundere is a popular character archetype in Anime, Manga, and Games that blends cold/harsh/hostile exterior with a warm/affectionate,lovestruck interior. &nbsp;It&apos;s basically someone with a verbally combative defensive exterior personality with a loving loyal personality on the inside that shows through at times to those close to them.

  Hi<br>I didn&apos;t see these points in the comments <br><br>About the concern on maybe Mouse&apos;s parents taking advantage of her. Ironmouse has addressed people with this concern several times, her parents went out of retirement to gain money to keep her alive and isolated from a lot of people to keep her safe, they also gave her access to classical singing education when she got a bit better during her teens even when arts aren&apos;t the best financial decision to make since being an opera singer was her dream, Mouse started making a good amount of money at the same time her dad lost his job for staying home after her doctor told her parents COVID would probably kill Mouse. Ironmouse sees paying the bills and giving a good life to her parents as paying back for their support and sacrifice to keep her safe and alive. Additionally even when Mouse gives her parents full access to the money they are always checking expenses with her since they don&apos;t feel it like their money no matter how many times Mouse says otherwise. So at least I have 0 concerns and I would love them to appreciate the effort they&apos;ve done and enjoy the retirement they deserve.<br><br>On Mouse lore as Satan, her lore doesn&apos;t pretend to be one on one with the Bible, she just loves the fantasy developed around angels and demons so she developed a lore loosely based on that with a mix with cosmic horror to be able to loosely connect the lore to other Vtubers in the agency like Nyanners that is Nyarlahotep from Lovecraft Mythos. Maybe with this context you would be open to check the lore videos or even comment on them: Heavenfall: &nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qH2GyDzx3s">https://youtu.be/2qH2GyDzx3s?is=d6d0h4VXU1BoohBn</a> Bubi&apos;s origin: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bl9gn_O622E">https://youtu.be/Bl9gn_O622E?is=Kp42xDVNBxgKzmYs</a> There&apos;s a few more but I think it&apos;s better checking these ones first.

  You did a great job making it through the long runtime on this video, I think you could do the DougDoug video just fine. Even if you needed maybe a couple days of recording to finish it, that would be perfectly fine. It doesn&apos;t have to be perfect, I&apos;m just genuinely having a great time getting to hear your experiences and commentary. <br>I want to hear what you think about Music Box of Fate, Ironmouse&apos;s original opera song that her friends composed for her to sing. Its very pretty, the crazy vibrato she uses makes her sound like a Disney princess with a 1920/30s opera aesthetic. Plus cool anime visuals.<br>I do think it would be interesting to see you react to &quot;Ironmouse Lore: HeavenFall&quot;. You would understand where a lot of the original work influences it, unlike myself where I was raised atheist and I&apos;ve only ever heard a couple bible stories. <br>Mouse lives in a very Catholic household, which kind of shaped how she views religion. In the Youtube video &quot;Undiagnosed (ft. Ironmouse): &quot;The Performer&quot;&quot; she talks about some of the ways her parents tried to pray away her illness or had their faith taken advantage of.<br>So yeah, keep reacting! Keep following your interests, whatever they are, and I&apos;m sure I&apos;ll enjoy listening!

  She with the right treatment is getting much stronger now. &nbsp;She has regained the function to get out of bed and walk around the house on the regular and her period function has returned. &nbsp;She might be missing some stream time to do some physical therapy that will further strengthen her. So this is a blessing to hear and hopefully she gets as healthy and strong as she can and so possibly be able to live a maintained semi normal life from then on. &nbsp;She raises so much money for the foundation that I am sure they have put a priority on getting her all the treatment she needs to be at her best possible health as she is the biggest representative of them. So I don&apos;t know about the person you knew in the 80&apos;s, but Ironmouse can now get generous treatment support from the foundation or even afford the best care herself because she makes really substantial amounts of money now as such a massive streamer.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=57">0:57</a> 80s Saturday morning cartoons were my childhood in the UK. wake up at around 6am then having to wait an hour before they aired. We only had 4 channels back then. Channel 4 was still also pretty new.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=702">11:42</a> Nah you are not weird for liking anime at your age. I&apos;m in my 50s and I still watch anime, watch Vtubers and play games. My first anime was a series called Dogtanian and the three muskehounds. Didn&apos;t even know it was anime at the time. <br>I think you would really enjoy an ongoing series called Frieren: Beyond Journey&apos;s End if you haven&apos;t already seen it. For mystery anime then I would suggest Mushishi. Really good series.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=1440">24:00</a> The girls might be a little unhinged.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=1595">26:35</a> I loved Pitfall and of course Space Invaders on the old Atari.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=2160">36:00</a> Ah I get that. Most of my friends have zero interest in anime or games. They label it kids stuff.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=2342">39:02</a> Tsundere is a character trait that&apos;s usaully female that can&apos;t express her real caring feelings for someone else. So she hides them behind insults mostly. This can be a male character though.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=2785">46:25</a> Connor and Mouse really have a special relationship.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=2850">47:30</a> Shipping is someone who wants a couple to get together as in dating. I have never really liked shipping anyone together because for the most part it just gets uncomfortable for the two people. Connor and Mouse just play into it which works for them.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=4300">1:11:40</a> There we go, Vshojo turned out to be a scumbag company. According to some they held onto the money because they were going under. They were desperate to get funding from other sources but failed. The whole Vshojo thing was really bad so I tried not to focus on it to be honest. I have enough drama at work!<br><br>I&apos;m glad you set up this channel. You seem like a nice guy who wanted to try something different. Well done you.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPRJN9OU5Y&amp;t=2852">47:32</a> shipping is like supporting a relationSHIP. But not exactly supporting. More like wanting two people to be romantically involved. So if you hear something like &quot;the ship has sunk&quot; or &quot;ship has sailed&quot; it means the relationship fell through. Cause the people are no longer friends or one of the person being shipped got involved with someone else.
