Just putting the me in memes as a grand finale

Image
I happened to come across some cloud saves of images which I had on my previous phone, and of course it contained some of the very essence of life: memes.

Final Task Part II: My own Vtuber

I wasn't all that familiar with Vtubers before this autumn, but what drew me in was when I somehow came across these two fan made animations based on voice clips from a Vtuber called Korone Inugami.  With no clue about what it was about, I got interested in what was this based on. So I went on to watch some clips of her streams, and even though never really been that much into watching streamers, there was something that drew me in to watch more.
