To start off with, I don't particularly watch streams in general or Vutbers, but there is a one that I have been supporting and watching for a couple years now and that's my Oshi.

I used to be super active in chat and we'd play games together on stream sometimes, but we are 12 hours apart, so the schedule rarely lines up and I'm more busy at work than ever so I don't really have much time to watch streams anymore

I still want to support her best I can. The first year I watched her, she had a pretty substantial growth and I was so happy for her. But I noticed that I was a yapper and that if I wasn't talking, chat was pretty quiet; I thought others didn't want to talk because I was monopolizing the whole chat and I was scaring them off. So I took a step back and took on a lurker role, and thankfully more people did in fact start talking to her and i saw lots of new faces, which made me really happy.

Her growth has slowed this last year a bit (though I don't think she cares much, she just does it for fun). I don't really have time to watch streams, but when I can lurk it's kind of the same faces I've been seeing the past year or so.

I know that she likes having an audience she's familiar with, but I still want to see her grow because I think she deserves it

With all that said, how is the best way to support her growth while I'm not very active in her streams anymore? (I do tip occasionally, but my disposable income is not as much as it used to be)

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and thank you for reading

So I used to watch a ton of seasonal anime, some seasons I was watching 15+ shows, just cuz I like to find a diamond in the rough, and honestly it burns you out, so I've taken a break.

I wanna jump back in and watch a show or two, so I'm hoping to get recommendations for 2 types

1. A show that highlights the beauty of the medium. And amazing story, a colorful lived in world, a show that makes you feel all kinds of emotions that will rekindle my love for Anime
2. Junk Food. This show has no nutritional value and will probably cause some gastrointestinal distress, but damn does it taste good. Shut off your brain and just have a good time. (not huge into Ecchi, but not a show stopper)

As I'm writing this, my mind is kind of going all over the place, so forgive my ramble

I've always been a little interested in MBTI, but never fully dove into it

I've taken the 16Personalities test 3-4 times in the last 5 years, and I always get INFP-T. I've also heard that this test is not the most accurate, which does confuse me a bit, because the caricatures I see all over the place seem to be from 16P.

I've also tried to stay away from reading too much into it for personal reasons; I've personally always felt that reading to much into your Zodiac Signs or Personality types is a bad idea. (Personally)

I'm Bi-Polar myself, but I never want to use it as an excuse for the way I act, in the same way I don't like when people say "I'm a [Insert Zodiac sign here], so that's the way I am"

I'd like to think that no label defines me and that I can always improve myself. I don't want it to be a guide that I have to live my life by

But a friend of mine is interested in personality types (they're ENFP) so I've tried to learn.

Lately we've gotten into "debates" about how we view things differently in a friendship or how we tackle problems. He's very honest and has been open about things that I had never realized myself, and things that I honestly thought I was the opposite of.

I thought I was always very easy going and agreeable, but he says I have a "My way or the highway type beat" which is not what I thought at all.

He personally thinks I'm INFJ.

I guess the point of this rant is, while I don't want to put a label on myself, I think looking at how others who have viewpoints similar to mine and how they overcome certain challenges or interpretations others might have of them, would be a good idea.
