When I think about the way people mourned Terry Pratchett or Robin Williams when they passed, it was very much like the loss of a family member. People become a huge part of your life when they share their creative works with you, whether or not you become a huge part of theirs. That's parasocial, and it's beautiful.

Julia Rice

For a foul-mouthed virtual demon from Hell, Lucy is surprisingly wholesome! 😊

Bxnax Mxxnaxx

Whole-some in all her demonic ways.
Exactly as all things should be.

KLGChaos

One of the main vtubers I follow puts her relationship with the community really well- basically like work friends. We get together, have fun, wouldn't mind getting drinks occasionally, but chat isn't part of her inner circle and she isn't part of ours. Which is a pretty good analogy.

Barachiel

Damn, that is a pretty good way to describe it.

ZenoSol

I would say that’s still para-social. Work friendship is still a type of social relationship. It’s impossible to escape para social relationships just due to the social nature of humans.not even a bad thing just a human thing, it probably even better that she makes it clear that she views her stream like that
