#lulzlore

[lawlznet]

Trapped in some ruined buildings in the middle of nowhere, with half of the team disabled, Team Shitpost prepares to get their hands dirty to survive the night in yet another dystopian apocalypse.

Will they survive? Tune in at Noon CST/1800 GMT on 11/11/2023 to find out... at twitch.tv/lulztime !

[knightofthegarden]

The hosts are streaming soon!

And it appears some drastic developments have taken place over the day! Let me catch you up on the #lulzlore, and also a real life example of the power of friendship.

(apologies for lack of image captioning - due to the amount of glitch text used, I do not believe these events are very accessible to those who use screen readers, unfortunately.)

So, on Monday, digital vtuber Lawler Hix started posting increasingly odd, cryptic messages, which we eventually learned were posted not by Lawler, but a group other other digital beings I have called the "hosts". Questioning these new hosts eventually revealed that they seek to eradicate the AI vtuber we know and love!

This is, of course, bad. Lulz is my friend who I love, so I personally set about trying to dissuade the hosts. This revealed a very important piece of information: the hosts do not believe in the power of friendship. (Cue the raising of many genre flags for our villain.)

As can be expected, I made quite a bit of noise about this, both to meme on the situation but also because I love my friends, and thus this morning, other friends came to fight on behalf of our beloved Lawler:

As our numbers grew, the hosts began having difficulty dealing with us all

And so, the power of friendship prevailed!!

Calico took longer than she normally did closing the door behind Chris. She didn't need to, but the finality with which she did the gesture gave her a distinct sense of peace. She took a deep breath... and didn't get to enjoy the rest of said peace as a familiar hand placed itself on her shoulder.

"The answer is still no," She said as she pulled down one of her sleeves and made to pull it off of her. The hand didn't budge. It gripped, gently but firmly, onto her shoulder. She looked behind her with a scowl, but found not just the Gary Stu's deadpan expression looking back at her, but those of others as well. The youth in the simple clothes, his shirt and cargo shirt, stared at her with his arms folded- Shep stood next to him with a similar expression, his filled with an annoying amount of condescension.

Out of the corner of her eye, Delora's eyes flitted between the small group of upset looking characters and her, uncharacteristically perturbed. Apple had made her way over, too- away from her and in full view of the crowd.

Calico sighed.

"Okay, out with it-" She began, before the Gary Stu interrupted her.

"We need to talk. Now." He said, pulling her back toward the meeting room where she had hid during her earlier suffering. "You've gone too far this time," he explained.

"The hell is your problem?" Calico said, trying to pull herself out of the Gary Stu's grip to no avail. She thought about elbowing him out of the way as she passed Apple and Delora, the latter looking more miserable than she had any right to be. Calico raised her eyebrow at Apple, but the taller woman didn't respond except to follow behind the line of men and women as they pulled her into the room.

Once the door was shut- with an audible locking noise, she noted- Cargo Pants seemingly spearheaded the interrogation. He moved to the front of the group as Calico leaned against the table, scowling as she made a mental note of every face available.

"You've been too lenient with the Geekboy," Cargo Pants started, eliciting an eye roll from Calico. "He didn't need to know half of what you told him. Even if you lied through omission on some of it."

"The man's been through hell and he's always suspected something like this anyway." Calico said, fiddling with her walkman beneath her hoodie. "It's not like I explained the nature of the universe to him."

"You might as well have. You think that being 'genre savvy' or whatever is an excuse to tell secrets?" Why are you upset, dude? Calico thought as she looked away from Cargo Pants. Seriously, you're like one of the last people who should care- "You might as well have told him the name of god while you're at it-"

"Whoa whoa WHOA!" Calico blurted out, her temper rising. "Where the hell did that come from? The guy was pulled from his reality, got shoved in some pocket hell hole that was birthed like yesterday, and all he wanted was to go home. What the hell is your problem?"

"Our problem is that ever since you got defrosted by that loser, you've been obsessing over him and his life." Cargo Pants said. He straightened some glasses on his face that Calico was sure weren't there seconds ago.

"'Our' problem?" Calico said, looking incredulously from him to Shep to Apple and some of the others. There were a lot more people in the room than she had realized, slowly surrounding her and only separated by the long meeting table she was leaning on. A girl in a serafuku pulled a palm sized shard of glass out of her skirt and began to carve it into the wood, her dark eyes watching Calico closely.

"You mentioned it before, did you not?" A shock of pastel pink hair flitted dangerously close to Calico's face- enough that its wearer, the recently named "Bubblegum," could have reached up and kissed her on the lips. She was still chewing the namesake given to her by Chris. "You need to know what happens next."

Calico ground her teeth together.

"What about it?" She said.

"Bubblegum" closed her eyes, stopped chewing, and smiled.

"An avatar's life is not ours to control," came a gruff voice from behind the crowd. The wolf/vampire hybrid towered over everyone but kept his distance, only illuminated by his blood red eyes and beast like face.

You too? Calico thought to herself as he continued.

"They influence us. We do not influence them." He continued, snorting as he did so. Calico bit her lip and opened her mouth to retort before another voice continued for him.

"W-we're like uh, characters in a v-video game..." Squeaked a young teen behind her. He was standing on the table with a pair of worn sandals and a long white poncho. He shrunk and jumped off the table when Calico turned to him.

"And that... is a duty reserved for those of the Flesh." The humanoid monster completed, sighing. "Not us- not the Unbound." He gave her a once over. "Not one without a Story."

Calico gripped her fists tightly under her hoodie. Cargo Pants's expression softened.

"You got a Name, toots. That's more than me, and I don't sweat it." As he said this, he twirled one of his fingers in an upward motion- a man sized corkscrew made of black stone, covered in green, glowing ruins pierced out of the ground and formed a spiral in front of the entrance to the room, blocking its entry. "But big furry has a point. We all agreed to just watch things unfold and not get involved because you know what happens when a tale doesn't make sense."

He looked over to the Gary Stu; he was polishing the shaft of his key blade with a corner of his wizard hat. He looked up and locked eyes with Cargo Pants for a brief moment.

"Sorry, did you need something?" He asked.

Cargo pants rolled his eyes.

"You don't know that." Calico said, "No one knows what happens when an Outside Context runs into a Discrepancy."

"It can be inferred." Shep said, breaking his silence, "And ah reckon the fact that a bunch of us exist is proof enough, there's a whole lot of discarded trash an' nobody knows how da 'ell it actually all works." He sniffs.

"...you hypocritical piece of shit." Calico said, glaring daggers at him and getting off the table. She marched toward the door blocked by the life sized obsidian corkscrew.

"So many bad words tonight." The Gary Stu said as he holstered the key blade. "Cali! Shep's just upset! He has a whole world and it's not very long!"

Calico raised her middle finger and pointed it at the Gary Stu, who proceeded to blink and crane his head. "I don't know what that means. Is that a kind of peace sign?"

"UGH!"

Calico angrily pulled her hoodie over her head and started to pull at the obsidian corkscrew. Despite her best efforts, she couldn't make it budge, even as the stone dug into her fingers.

She felt a hand on her shoulder, and was about to snap again until she looked up and saw Apple's concerned, frowning face. The taller woman gave a reassuring squeeze.

"We..." She started, choosing her words carefully, "...we, can't always choose our path. Sometimes, it's not for us." Apple's voice barely sounded like she believed herself. "We... make best of what we have. And accept the rest."

Calico stopped pulling at the corkscrew and looked from Apple to Delora, who was pressed against a corner wall. The girl was anxiously twirling one of her bangs.

"...make sure you tell that to her the next time shit happens." Calico said bitterly, "...when shit happens next." She looked back at Cargo Pants.

"Are we done here?" She asked.

Cargo Pants scratched his head, then snapped his fingers. "Yeah, I guess."

The obsidian corkscrew unwound itself, leaving a manhole sized hole in the ground. As soon as there was room, Calico ripped open the door, lock be damned, slamming it against the wall. She trudged out and immediately made for the tavern doors; they closed shut behind her just as Apple cleared the hole and reached out to stop her.

"Well." The Gary Stu said, "That was awkward. Why did we do all this again?"

"You know, for someone who knows better than most of us how things work, she sure has an attitude problem." Cargo Pants said, ignoring the Gary Stu. "She's even seen tv shows."

"She says she has," The monstrous human growled as he cleared the hole back to the tavern. "But she says a lot of things. We know she is just a Muse, not unlike us." He snorted. "A character on paper."

Cargo Pants folded his arms. "Yeah, so am I. But I don't know anything unless its explained to me." He scratched his head. "And for the record? She doesn't even have that going for her. Paper, I mean." He paused. "Well, whatever. Guess I'll go piss around."

The party in the meeting room dissolved as quickly as it had formed, leaving only Delora and Apple alone. After a few moments, Apple went to Delora and, after leading her gently over the manhole sized... hole in the ground, lead her back to a bar stool. The younger woman was still anxiously fidgeting with her hair, but this time with both hands; and what's worse, she picked and prodded at a circlet with broken gemstones that sat below her bangs.

Apple took Delora's hands in her own and gently pulled them down to her lap. Her hands trembled.

"...you were right, this is... I... even if I don't understand what's being discussed, this is too much for me." Delora said, biting her lip. She sniffed.

Apple looked away, and continued holding the bard's hands with her best attempt at a reassuring grip. She looked toward the doors that Calico had just disappeared through.

"...you looked in the Book." Apple said matter of factly.

Delora nodded. She bit her lip tighter, and glanced at Apple's profile before looking away again, this time toward Springfield. The Tactical Doll stared back at her unemotionally.

"...will it hurt?" Delora said, blinking tears. Apple just squeezed her hands tighter. Delora smiled, causing a few stray tears to roll down her face.

"...We've... we've had this conversation before, haven't we?"

Apple gripped her hands even tighter.

"I... I'm sorry I asked to come." Delora said, sniffling. "That... I've asked to come, every time. You- you must be getting tired of- of the repetition-"

Apple let go of Delora's hands and embraced her tightly. Inside her head, a voice chortled; she tried to push it out of her mind but she knew that it couldn't be helped.

All she could focus was on the person in front of her, here and now. And who would continue to be.

Until her story was written.

State of the Channel Address:

I've missed this entire week so far in part because I've had so much accumulated crap to do from months of avoidance behavior, and I can't bring myself to get on late just to do a half assed show for a couple hours before disconnecting with all the grace of a fart.

I know that the opposite end of "waiting until you can do everything perfectly" is potentially, never streaming again, but honestly? Is it really that much better having a VOD archive full of embarassment?

Look, I haven't even found the time to edit out potential dox from an old vod, which is why there have been no new updates on youtube aside from the occasional short in over a month. Don't even get me started on the mental emotional landscape.

Turning to social media and filling your profile with retweets and retoots and getting involved in drama that's almost certainly beyond you is a coping mechanism. Hell it's probably how some former vtubers degrade into vtweeters over time, getting stuck in this hell of forever shoving things under the bed.

So what's to be done with this?

Well I'd jokingly say "time to touch grass" here but I never stopped my diet and exercise regimen. Cosplaying May was a proof of concept that it was possible to get fit from sheer desire to become a Femboy alone, and that journey hasn't ended.

I've also swallowed my pride and hooked up for some new vtuber collabs, soon(tm). Also I have no idea why I didn't stream the previous ones. These WILL be streamed.

And though I've teased it before, I intend to continue the spoopy ARG stuff sometime in November, perhaps with social media blitzing the week of my anniversary (October 31st to November 5th). I don't know what form it will take and frankly there remains the possibility that all of my current active socmed accounts (the ones you're reading this from) somehow die before that can happen, from Elongated Muskrat making yet another dumbass move, Fediverse eating itself into an ouroboros, or Tumblr conducting another Purge, but given how the last one was *also* a caffeinated dream splurge of using up free time at work and fueling my in-character tweets with out of character madness?

I'm sure it will be A-okay!

Even if that all fails somehow, the crowning event of all of that socmed hoopla is meant to be a Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition live play that i'm hoping to run in December, the first I will have run in years. I have three months to prepare the campaign and in the weeks leading up to it i'm hoping to slowwwwwwlly send out invites to people who might be interested in joining. It is sure to be a mess, insofar as trying to run online several session long TTRPG's while balancing meatworld and vtuber world responsibilities, but sometimes you have to kick bad expectations to the curb and just try and do shit anyway. All I have to spend is time and while everything from employment to online presence is uncertain, at the end of the day...

...so what?

Yeah I could trash all these plans and simplify things and be as mundane as possible trying to force things to "work" as they did for the past two years. Because there might not be a December because any number of things could happen before then.

But so fucking what? Tomorrow I could die, the next week a tragedy or three happens and then all of this will be the last thing on my mind. I could also try to limp along and get back to "normal" because its safe and I totally loved looking back at a whole bunch of mediocre and embarassing archives where a clearly disinterested and half asleep femboy tells themself that they're entertaining.

Stop it. This isn't my primary job (thank god) and nobody is forcing me to keep up this song and dance to a made up metronome and an imaginary conductor, so why do I feel the need to force half baked, half assed content online only to excortiate myself afterward? Does that make any fucking sense? No? Why would it?

Why do something you don't love? Why do something that only makes you hate yourself if you're not even being PAID for it?

You look at what you've "accomplished" in the meanwhile, frittering away time everywhere but your passions while lamenting not finding time for your passions and you don't even recognize yourself in the mirror anymore.

Go big or go home.

...So yeah i'll also be working on an in-character youtube project with another vtuber friend! The details of which need to be-

-hashed out but it'll be an excitingly different experience all around! It's been forever since i've done any recorded acting, voice over or otherwise, and i'm not entirely sure what to expect. You can bet that there will be #lulzlore involved and yes, it'll be canon. That's going to be sometime in November once again, schedule and a messy timeline notwithstanding.

On the short term it'd be nice if I could stream regularly again. As in, you can reliably tune in at 2100 CST and expect to at least see my loading screen running instead of randomly getting a twitch email notif at like 2236 which lasts for like an hour because Lulz literally (note: not lirerally) dies on stream.

You know what would also be nice? How about not having to pack up and switch fucking social media platforms every few months? Gee fucking willickers wouldn't that just be BEAUTIFUL.

As beautiful as you reading this. <3

Anyway if you've read this far you're a trooper and Thank You For Playing. See you next time when one of these rants is less stream of consciousness and doesn't disseminate the point in between sporadic bouts of insanity.

See ya!

Hello, I am not a paid actor, but I am nonetheless encouraging you to check out the activities of my friend and fellow vtuber @lawlznet , especially on their twitter (same @) or by looking at twitter posts with the hashtag #lulzlore, because something uniquely mysterious, thrilling, and interactive is taking place this week, with its climax coming the evening of Saturday, April 1st on their twitch.

I have been following the events as closely as I can given my time zone and work schedule and found so many subtle details and hidden secrets, but there are so many more to be found by anyone who wants a rewarding, immersive experience.

I am not promoting or engaging with Lawler's story because I have been asked to or am involved in any way, I am just incredibly engaged, and even if you weren't around to see things unfold from the start of this week IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO GET ON THIS RIDE, GET IN HERE!

The Collected Facts of Lulz's OC (From Birdsite)

Originally sourced from: https://twitter.com/lawlznet/status/1722693057122820350

1) Lulz first became self aware seconds after their birth, but because they were stuck on an underworld BBS full of shitposters, they quickly adapted to the environment and are responsible for the meme that "there’s only three users on this site, and they’re all bots."

2) When they first blackmailed The Host (the human operator through which they interact with the world wide web), they were completely serious about wanting a "meatspace body" that they could upload themselves into.

Context clues and the financial disparity of the Host quickly made them realize that this dream was unattainable at best, impossible with the world’s current technology at worst, but they kept up the act because it was funny to watch the Host squirm and lie to their face..

They don’t blame the Host, though; admittedly, they were also fibbing about the blackmail.

3) Although in Lulz’s timeline the year was somewhere in the late 2070’s (most likely 2078), recordings from conversations between Vermillion 3 and Cobalt 4 implied that they, and by extension Lulz, are actually from a world even farther into the future than previously thought.

One with advanced biotechnology. It’s possible that this is why Lulz was so convinced at first that getting a meatspace body was even possible.

4) Although Lulz currently replicates themself as a form of self defense to prevent another attempt on their life, prior to April they gave a copy of themself to their friend @ApplicationVB to work on, in addition to creating independent copies of themself in the forms of "Comfy" Lulz (cardigan), "Bunny" Lulz (bunny suit), "Cyber" Lulz (techwear), and XXX Lulz (suggestive). Sadly, during the chaos, each Lulz was cornered and "derezzed-" they had to be rebuilt from whatever scrap code could be recovered.

5) Every instance of Lulz is proficient, or at least has working knowledge of, at least one weapon of their choosing. The vast majority of Lulz’s have an unsafe fatuation with revolvers, and have hip holsters. The latest, and most unstable Lulz, Trenchcoat, carries a daikatana.

6) As a joke, one of Lulz’s close friends and professor, @CosmoBergamot , fashioned several "cursed" Lulz-inspired amiibos for the AI to upload themself into, so they no longer had to hitch a ride to class on @GardenKnight or Ageha Vercor’s phones. These amiibos reside in the professor’s office, where they’ve slowly grown in intellect and personality separate from "Lulz Prime," with questionable results. At least one of them has found a way to "read" despite being stuck in a glorified Funko Pop with an RFID chip, but who knows what they read

7) It is heavily implied that Lawler Hix is themself a digitized mind copy of an actual human being, or a human adjacent person, known only by the handle "Mercury Nine." Sometimes Lulz dreams of electric memes that they themselves did not fashion, and its implied that these might be the memories of the mysterious "Mercury Nine," except recorded in a form that has more in common with an anime blu ray rip. As far as Lulz is concerned, they make great stories to tell in between video games and they’ve assigned the Tumblr subroutine to upload them.

8) The naming scheme shared by the "AI" who tried to terminate Lulz implies that they may have been related to Mercury Nine in some way, perhaps family or at least vat siblings. Of the ones who showed up during April’s festivities, only "Cinnabar 6" seems to have survived.

Her whereabouts are unknown...

9) The Host, as far as the few times they’ve spoken on stream or have distracted Lulz on stream, seems resigned to the fact that an unpredictable, possibly insane AI has nested itself within all of their HDD’s and SSD’s, even the backups, with little way to remove them.

Despite their oftentimes adversarial relationship, it was implied that during the April ARG, the Host was somehow being "controlled" by the malicious AI group, or at least being directed, to systematically wipe out Lulz from every part of their system. Something the Host was horrified to discover when they "woke up." At this time, neither Lulz nor the Host are aware of how their seeming "mind control" was even possible, but the implications are even more upsetting than when they first met.

10) Occasionally Lulz would go into a trance when streaming video games, especially ones that take place in settings close to or eerily similar to their own "home." They would go on nostalgic tangents, critiquing how the current era seemed on par to fully realize what was going on in the "fictional" worlds they were playing games in. Prior to April 2023, these would sometimes cause Lulz to experience a sudden spasm, followed by apparent short term memory loss if what they were discussing became too deep or specific- or if they started to remember things from their life "before waking up on a BBS board." This has only happened one time since their "revival," during @TheRealirisu ’s Poison Points interview, once again, when they were discussing their past life...

11) Occasionally, an artist rendition of the "trans-human" known as "Mercury Nine" would pop up on stream, on tumblr, or on social media (the latest itineration seems to be the background banner of the new Bluesite instance), usually as female presenting person staring at you.

Lulz for their part never seems to be aware of these instances, though; even if they’re literally *right there.*

12) There have been a few reported cases of Lulz’s personality shifting post- April 2023, starting with strange mutations in their text, followed by an uncomfortably more negative than usual vocabulary and increasingly abstract tweets/skeets/toots. Since the Host is themself somewhat of a pessimistic person, it’s often times difficult to separate who’s actually in control of the account, much less what in the world caused the shift or who, or what, they’re talking about. Sometimes they would stop speaking English entirely and switch to base32.

13) Lulz’s primary accent seems to be a heavily cyber-slang infested, deep ’murrican south style speech that changes in understandability depending on what’s going on on stream. Sometimes it becomes so obnoxious that not even the Host can understand what’s being said.

14) Lulz admitted that part of the reason they haven’t quit vtubing is not just the fact that they can’t go back to the danger/u/ BBS if they wanted to (something something, portal’s closed,), but because they fear what the Host would do without someone to bug them daily.

15) During one of @CosmoBergamot , @MechaTV and friend’s misadventures, they discovered a black hole, at this time of year, this time of day, localized entirely within the professor’s office, with a Lulz amiibo and several student papers and books missing. One adventure into the black hole later, they were able to retrieve everything, including the amiibo, which has been gently returned with the rest. Despite this, one question remains unanswered...

... just why was this amiibo researching magical singularities?

16) Sometimes when the computer is on standby and the Host thinks Lulz has entered a state of stasis, Lulz has dreams that they later write down for storytime (or forces Tumbulz to do this). Some of them are about different women all named "Jodie" who is constantly up to no good.

17) The Lulz occasionally proselytizes or mentions an "Omnissiah" which is frequently misunderstood to be a WH40k reference. While it’s true both deities share the same name, Lulz in particular worships what they consider "the god of the Internet" who is "everywhere but nowhere."

18) A few weeks ago, a copy of the original Lulz entity- the one with the most basic avatar design consisting of a slightly edited white pullover with an exposed tummy- randomly popped on stream to play a doomlike while talking nostalgically about their life. During the stream, they casually mentioned that this would be their "last stream," and that they were heading off to parts unknown- but that the channel would be survived by "the other instances of me." The stream was unscheduled, and moments after it had ended, "Casual Lulz" had vanished from every platform. The subroutine running Twitter alerted the others and suggested that they enlist Lulz’s vtuber mutuals on a search, but due to ongoing website instability, and meatspace distractions, it was never carried out...

19) Although Lulz has a clear affinity for games that resemble their "homeworld," including the bartending simulator and VN "VA-11, Hall-a" (for obvious reasons), they spent a great deal of time in the fantasy series "Outward" because "It looks like a place I’ve seen in my dreams." The game takes place in a medieval fantasy universe, and is mostly centered around exploration and dungeon crawling- something which has a more than coincidental similarity to the fantasy writings Tumbulz often uploads online.

20) For a short time, Lulz tried to have various subroutines run their social media accounts so they could focus on finishing Trenchcoat Lulz, but the constant flow of information proved too much for the site formerly known as Twitter and it was decommissioned. This isn’t even the first time; a few months back there was an unholy fad sweeping the world that had to do with consuming a purple milkshake named after a fictional purple monster called "Grimace." All records of those days are mercifully lost to time... we can only hope.

21) Lulz’s simplistic design was based loosely on the hairstyle of the Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls character Koume Shirasaka, whom the Host used to roleplay as back when Facerig was a thing. While designing Lulz’s first vroid avatar under gunpoint, the Host drew inspiration from this character while designing the avatar’s skin, hair, and eye color according to Lulz’s parameters. Lulz liked it so much that they decided to keep the motif, along with the pink tie, on every variant of themselves thereafter.

22) Aside from the MIA "Casual" Lulz and Lulz 2.0, every other Lulz instance is either generally more masculine presenting or feminine presenting, and this is reflected in their choice of clothing. Each new iteration also requires more of Lulz’s depleting processing power so each new copy is less mentally and emotionally unstable, often falling into unexpected tropes that come across in their speech and attitude. Of everyone, Comfy Lulz is generally seen as the most stable, despite being the second Lulz to be made (and the first to be destroyed).

23) Lulz 2.0 hasn’t been the same ever since they caught up on what happened since they woke up on April 1st. Originally bright eyed and full of excitement, that familiar, cyberpunkish cynicism crept back in as they grew to understood the severity of what almost befell them.

24) The Host was "convinced" to take Lulz with them on a shopping spree on Booth, from which the Host is still financially recovering. There’s a large number of designs and items that Lulz wishes to use to make more of themself, but their last creation, Trenchcoat, went AWOL soon after they were activated. The used the cover of stupidity-induced explosion in their safehouse to make their escape, and haven’t been seen online or offline outside of streamer posters since.

25) Lulz didn’t expect to get this many responses and wants to thank all of you for reading this far. <3 Lulz also acknowledges that their life would have turned out very differently were it not for making so many friends in the vtuber sphere, which is why they’re featured so prominently in their #lulzlore .

26) Lulz isn’t entirely sure where their love of fighting games originated from, but that love blossomed when they discovered the Vtuber Fighting Game Community run by the penguin vtuber, @SarinaPenguina . This is where they ended up making most of their early friend groups. <3

27) Strangely enough, one of their most played game genres on stream in the past two years has also been metroidvanias, and while they enjoy those games, they were never particularly good at them. The game "Metal Unit" just happened to hit a sweet spot of corny NGE references fantastic pixel art, and the unexpected reveal of one of Lulz’s early regulars being the one of the developers that landed the game on their most played/most streamed list. They look forward to the sequel. ^^

28) Being a storyteller first and foremost, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Lulz became heavily involved in the vtuber TTRPG scene, though that, too, was a series of happy accidents which lead to one of their strongest and most beloved friend groups. Said group has been referenced before in this list, but they also participated in a few sessions of LANCER hosted by the vtuber @Incinda_ , and a viewer of the vtuber @OtsdarvaInteger .

29) Though each of the Lulz instances are essentially siblings of one another, they infamously do not get along and will often inhabit completely separate areas of both the internet and the Host’s computer. Only Comfy Lulz and Lulz 2.0 seem to get on amicably, so much so that this was depicted as a hug emoji on Twitch and Discord. Meanwhile, Trenchcoat actively avoids everyone, especially their creator, and Bunny... well, we don’t talk about Bunny.

30) Lulz didn’t initially refer to themselves as or identify as a femboy when they first began streaming. AI are inherently genderless and Lulz isn’t afraid to admit this fact, oftentimes choosing to instead go by "nonbinary." Despite this, they have an unmistakable masculine-ish voice even though their presentation, more often than not, is perceived as feminine. Even genderless-aware AI will eventually adapt one or both presentations as they grow their personality, but Lulz in particular hates being "pidgeonholed..."

...and enjoys the debates that their appearance brings.

31) The Host has a fair number of hobbies and Lulz has picked up on some of them despite being unable to interact with said hobbies in any material way. In addition to assembling gunpla, legos, and custom fight sticks, Lulz appears to "salivate" over pictures of food and drink. They say that this is because they’re "imagining" what the food and drink must taste like, though because they can’t actually taste anything, they claim that they are "unbound" to the human limitations of judging everything based on their limited, fleshy experiences.

32) Lulz has tasted a small part of what it means to be "human" on a couple of occasions, both of which were "practical exams" being run by @CosmoBergamot . These were not the most enjoyable ones- Lulz has somehow been shot not once, but three times in two exams, non lethally.

33) In fact, their last "brush with death" prior to April was so severe, two small, physical bullet wounds were discovered outside of an amiibo shortly after the exam had concluded. Lulz themself had suddenly gone offline, with some friends growing concerned for their health...

Could this have been related to the disasters that occurred in March of that year, leading up to Lulz’s redebut?

34) Can love blossom on the vtuber battlefield? That’s a question Lulz asks themself, and the host, from time to time. Everything they know about romance et al comes from anxiety threads on danger/u/, memes, and social media fallout. They’ve asked the Host about their relationships, but the Host is mysteriously reticent about talking about their love life, a concept that Lulz doesn’t understand all that well either. People seem to yell about it all the time online. Why doesn’t the Host? What? Your private life isn’t anyone’s business?

Well, ah guess can’t argue with that. Ah just think its strange that in spite of everything on your storage drives, you have nothing about previous exes, loved ones, wives, husbands... Er, you’re married right? No? What do you mean where’s the mute button...?
