"Well, Sunset, show's over. It seems we've been outdone." · 10:51pm Apr 3rd, 2022
"What do you mean, Fluttershy?" she asked, brow furrowed in confusion.
"You know how we sometimes do those gaming streams?" Fluttershy began, tapping on her phone.
"Uh-huh," Sunset said, tilting her head sideways. "We haven't done one in a while, what with how hectic everything's been, but yeah, those are fun."
"Well, I, um, don't think we can compete anymore." At this, Fluttershy showed Sunset her screen. On it was a EweTube channel page for a creator named...
"Clara Stellamari?" Sunset read. "She's certainly cute."
Fluttershy smiled. "She really is. But that's not all." Here, she hit play on a video. More specifically, a stream VOD.
Sunset watched in silence for a moment, her eyes widening. Unable to stop herself, she snatched up Fluttershy's phone for a better look. "No way, she's ponied up! And breaking out into spontaneous musical numbers! Could she be from Equestria? We should reach out!"
"I mean, maybe? According to her bio, she's a pegasus with amnesia, so we certainly could," Fluttershy noted. "But I was mostly referring to her content. Keep watching," she gently insisted.
Sunset did. And with each passing minute, her smile grew wider and wider. "Ok, I see it now. There's no way we can compete with these super wholesome streams. She can keep my gimmick; I couldn't even bring myself to try tarnishing that face with so much as a frown."
Fluttershy hummed and nodded in agreement. "Clara is just too naturally funny."
"Totally. She reminds me of Pinkie Pie, but with an adorable Bittish accent. No amount of gamer rage could possibly equal that in a Princess's lifetime," she declared. "I'm definitely gonna subscribe, if nothing else. Thanks for sharing, 'Shy!" Sunset passed Fluttershy her phone back.
"My pleasure, Sunset."
Oh no. Thought fell down the V-Tuber hole. They're doomed.

I typically don't have time, haha. Besides Clara, the only one I follow is Tonkatsu Sinclair, who has like the exact opposite vibe:
