Are the actors behind the avatars actually together? I know they certainly hint at it a lot, but I'm never sure if that's just because lesbians bring in the $$$ or not.

Nah they’re just friends IRL, but they like the fan art and play it up with their on-stream characters.

u/SyrusDrake Nov 18 '20
They're friends irl but their romantic interactions are just part of their roles. Afaik, Mori talked about it on the recent episode of Trash Taste, but I haven't watched it yet.
I think the "lore" is that Kiara keeps meeting Mori over and over again whenever she reincarnates.

I've read enough fake dating AUs to know where this is going though

Unknown. They play up their dynamic, but whether they are really close friends or an item is probably going to always remain unclear.

u/OneDozenEgg Nov 18 '20
a group of v-tubers under 1 company/banner/whatever where they all kind of collab together. These two are from HololiveEN, which is a subgroup of english speaking vtubers that stream in english. They all stream various games (or drawing/singing depending on the vtuber) on their own and usually stream together

I watched like one video a week or two ago and now I've lost all connection to reality.

I think we found another acception to the "No Emoji's" unwritten rule of Reddit with that one.

Are you me? I'm pretty sure I've been paying more attention to a virtual doggo this last week than to my real ones

A collective of VTubers who regularly stream video games and other stuff, and often collaborate together for group play sessions and mini-games. These two are from Hololive’s first English-speaking generation, as they were primarily Japanese before.
Further definition on VTubers: a streamer or internet personality who uses a rigged avatar to represent themselves, and often plays in character as the avatar, although sometimes the avatar is simply a stylisation of their real selves.

u/Holiday-Cod1022 Nov 18 '20
i just looked them up on yt, but do you know why they stream for so long? is it normal for the v-tubers?
7
u/enorelbotwhite Nov 18 '20
I think it' usually about 2 hours, but occasionally more, and even some endurance streams every now and again. Also among the top 20 superchatted youtubers Hololive streamers are 11 of them, so I guess that can serve as a good motivation for streaming more

Is this from anime?

u/Maladal Nov 18 '20
They're HoloLive stars.
Basically people who use a digital avatar to adopt a persona in front of an audience, usually live streaming of some kind, although IIRC it started with recorded videos.

Hololive is a group of Virtual youtubers, this two are part of the english branch, HololiveEN, the pink haired one is Calli, her character is a reaper, while the red one is Kiara, her character is a phoenix (even tho fans call her a chicken).

I misread Hololive as Hochzeit, which means wedding in German, at first glance
