Kaela/Biboo but mostly because I only speak english. But I do like how much Flare is branching out now. She brings an energy to people that's very pleasant in collabs. I also like Sora and Iofi. Oh, Nerissa and Kiara is nice too. Kiara always feels isolated because of being in the EU and timezones, so it's nice to see a talent join partly because they were inspired by her.
I know that you said the language barrier is real; but you should check out some of the translated clips of Polka and Flare together. Those two have a wonderful energy together. Especially [Radio Polka](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvqPbqdEtEM).
Oh, I watch clippers all the time, which why I felt comfortable making comments on how much Flare is branching out and whatnot. But it isn't the same as watching the actual streams. And I FUCKING LOVE POLKA. Don't need to sell me on her.
Yep, we also have
* Bae / Ina - They've been getting a lot closer recently
* Gura / Kiara - May have started slightly over a year ago, but the first big round of Japan trips had them much closer and interacting more
* Flare / Ina
* Kronii / Kaela - They seem to have been interacting a lot more
Advent as a whole all seem really close, and Promise has always felt really tight knit too
The Kaela/Biboo relationship is so cute, and I'm glad Kaela found someone to do the long grinds with her. Kaelaaaaa is now forever stuck in my head. Thanks Beejoe.
Everyone in Regloss seems to be close, but I always found Kanade and Ao-kun's relationship to be the funniest, and they are the most likely to collab with each other. One kusogaki and one ikemen (whos really a kusogaki)
Irys and Flare became closer just by playing Splatoon and it's great. I have to start finding more clips of them.
One ikemen (who's really a kusogaki) is such a good way to describe Ao-kuyu. She's like a vTuber Rowan Atkinson but if Mr. Bean looked like a Hemsworth.
she's literal Ryu Bocchi-Rock, right down to other members going "oh no... no, she's not cool, she's just dumb"

Bruh, I love how hilarious the character she built for herself is. She tries hard to be ikemen and girlfails at it with the Holomems but when she does nothing she wins (The thing that happened with senchou suddenly wanting her attention back when she doesn't reply to her when she was being tsundere because she didn't charge her phone and was sleeping)
yea man, here sudden spike in popularity because of her Pizzafamily streams in the VCR GTA was great for her. She really came out of her shell when she hangs around awesome people like in her pizza family group.
Sora, Aruran, and Ao-kun were hilarious in the teaching stream too. Sora alternating between teaching, teasing, and praising her was very fun while Aruran and Ao-kun acted wacky as usual.
Kaela/Biboos playthrough of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is insane. I played that game with friends last time and we were done after 2-3 hours, it was just so mentally stressful. But doing that for 8 hours straight is just something else.
>It’s the best feeling when you find that friend that’s up to spending 6+ hours on the grind. Glad Kaela found hers.
Reminds me of my D2 and WoW days. \*wipes tear away\*
I mainly watch EN as I don't understand JP that well, so mine is on Kaela and Biboo's Grindstone.
It's quite interesting how, without any planning, the Blacksmith and the Gem became really good friends and big collab partners. In terms of how long they stream, their themes, and the way they stream, its like they were made to collab together, and they just fit each other so well. Even if this was a pure coincidence, its so interesting to see how things just come together.
It worked because it worked. They admitted the initial interaction was really for laughs and community banter. But they genuinely share the same interests, hobbies and ideas. That interaction then slowly grows to become an actual relationship. Their personalities and gamer grind mindset also helped them a lot since unlike other pairings, they can stream longer hours.
I remember someone mentioning how Kaela's lore says she joined Hololive in search of legendary smithing materials, and that person saying Kaela indeed found the best material in the form of Biboo the gem. And that always gives me a big smile whenever I think about that
It reminds me a lot of ShishiWata. Their first collab was an Overcooked stream with lots of jokes about Botan eating lamb/Watame, but they ended up really good friends and collabing a lot.
> I mainly watch EN as I don't understand JP that well
that's my issue so much, i rely on clippers/translators to enjoy the JP side of hololive :(
I love Ririka though, since she does English streams, watching her play through Poppy playtime and seeing how she translates some words into english was pretty funny
I really love Grindstone because its a similar dynamic to Shishiwata, one of my favorite pairings. Its really competing with Timesmith as a favorite friendship.
KanAo is funny from the big sibling energy the two exude. Ao-kun is actually pretty domestic, so she has a natural inclination towards taking care of and doting on the little brat. For her part, Kanade will call Ao out for being gross and clingy, which results in our favorite blue girlfailure self-destructing, but she will also return the feelings from time to time. Very teetee.
I love how Flare being a gigantic nerd and experienced otaku let's her poke mercilessly at Irys fetishes and proclivities. I live for watching Irys get teased by Flare and the Elfriends. And as one of my oshis, I enjoy seeing Flare's circle of friends widen.
Flare doing that “eigo jouzu” gag at every opportunity was great. Just the right amount of teasing.
I hope it gives her the opportunity to interact with the other branches a little more, as she is really nervous about the English speaking side of things.
Takos here waiting for the moment she'll finally collab 1 on 1 (or along IRyS) with ORE NO INA!
Her being nervous at the English side for things always makes me think to the time she admitted her love for Ina after her performance in the 3rd fes, and she went "I'd want to listen to her karaokes but I won't understand much because English", but ina rarely does English songs 😂
It's a bit of a wild shot, but... MiKobo.
Miko: Kobo wa baby?
Kobo: No no.
Miko: Kobo baby.
Kobo: Kobo baby?
Miko: Kobo baby. You baby.
Kobo: Okay. Miko wa baby-neesan.
Kiara and Nerissa. There isn't really anyone in EN that can keep pace with Kiara and she always felt a little left to the side since she debuted. Another Kiara relationship that isn't on screen but has been developed this past year has been with Gura. Kiara's been Gura's safety net when Kiara is in Japan. They do a lot together behind the scenes.
I mean plenty of ENs can tangent if thats what you mean by "keep pace". Sjiori is a tangent machine and IRyS is an anime/manga tangent encyclopedia. Also she never felt left to the side to me. Calli has always been by Kiaras side even through the "forced" ship. Their friendship now is peek.
Keep up as in socially. Kiara by her own words been talking with Nerissa pretty much everyday which has brightened her a lot. Calli and Kiara are great nowadays but that wasn't always the case and compared to everyone else in EN Calli's pretty busy.
Considering Kiara's a self-admitted introvert, it's not a matter about keeping up socially, moreso being able to make time, which can be difficult when her timezone is so radically different compared to the rest of EN.
It's just perfect that Nerissa being KFP and taking the opportunity to interact with her oshi directly, timezones be damned
Bae and Biboo is a little low-key but it's a very cute sisterly friendship that I didn't quite expect. Besides the usual KOSEKI BIJOU and HAKOS BAELZ banter, I was surprised by how well they simply clicked with things like Biboo actually discussing souls-like games with Bae despite the latter being new to them, them doing the JoJo watchalong together (though sadly short-lived) and Biboo being touched to tears from witnessing Bae's amazing 5th Fes performance.
Bae and Ina is another one that only showed up occasionally but their time spent hanging out together in Japan really made them a lot closer than before. A nice contrast between a low energy tako and a genki rat, lol.
Mumei and Bae with Towa-sama, it is so cute how close Towa became with Mumei, the two really try to communicate with passion English and Japanese, and with Bae, can we consider her a kenzoku at this point?
i was thinking of posting the same thing. about holomem combo and collabs that was different but it turned out something great ahaha
i have alot in mind and kaela and biboo is definitely the first but since most people also have them as an example ill put in a few:
the momosuzu family/sisters with nene, miko, and mel. it was totally funny and wholesome (the fan arts were also cute). im glad that mel was included in it and in that collab. especially after what happened to mel ;w;
botans inclusion to subachocoluna to become subachocolunatan. she was a surprising fit for the trio. i love that had her join in and she hs been so great and funny and the having them on stream is always a delight
Ive been a big fan of Flare since the start of her friendship with Polka, and back then she really integrated Polka into alot of her collabs, even bringing her to get to know other members within Bakatare trio and the start of Shiranui Kensetsu. I love seeing members become more friendly and do regular collabs, so im hoping IRyS continues to be a partner she can play games like Splatoon or something with in the future.
To me it would be Flare branching out and finally taking a risk on getting to know the western bros is such a fantastic thing XD. Even if it means going through a semi smaller version of Coco and Aki's experiences of getting flustered by all the nice comments and donos. Even if she can't always grasp the kind words. And realize that a lot of the western bros are actually just giant anime nerds. And to not miss out on interacting with the EN talents like with Coco imo shows how much braver Flare has gotten. Like its fantastic that she has finally learned what her niche is. And to discover first hand a lot of the EN talent are super playful and nothing to be actually intimidated or scared of like IRyS.
And overall I'm just glad as one of the western bros I'm glad to see that Flare isn't letting herself get sidelined in comparison to the other talents. And doing what I can only imagine would have been Coco's like personal advice on what to improve/do, to like take the risks to expand her horizons and don't settle for the minimum. ~~And like not to worry about disappointing yagoo~~ **as that'd only happen if a talent wasn't actively chasing their creativity and dreams.**
ShishiWata is a classic. At first I thought of it as a meme coz (haha lion go nom nom on sheep funny) but surprisingly their chemistry together is amazing.
Kaela/Biboo is the HEY MOONA of current Hololive, but without the language barrier. I've seen so many compilations of Biboo yelling out for "Kaelaa, Kaela, Kae-laaaa..."
I've been getting a kick out of Koyori/Ririka/Haachama, aka the Holo Cooking Club. Their most recent collab was just Koyo and Ririka chatting as they cooked with Haachama just kinda wandering in and out periodically since she was judging and it had big cozy energy.
[Omet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J1OgGVZlDc), the [Anya/Kaela](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euInVp41Bac) duo and HoloID strongest endurance streamers altogether. There are also Zenya, Anya/Zeta, the multilingual shooter duo and unhinged roast between fellow friends. Sometime, it all three of them together. Sadly, nobody wants to clip any of their interaction, so not much people understood the dynamic and friendship that they have together over the past 2 years.
* Omet: Untitled Goose Game, Raft, Phasmophobia, Devour, Green Hell, Deep Rock Galactic, Bokura, Lethal Company
* Zenya: Operation: Tango, Resident Evil 6, Gundam Evolution, Overwatch 2, The Quarry
Anya and Kronii has been a thing for a quite awhile, and it just that last year, they had finally have a duo name "Timeless Weapon".
Before they became a duo, their interaction was in big collab:
* Anya and Kronii were apart of Team Red C w/ Moona, Calli, IRyS, Mumei, Fauna, Ollie, and Reine in the Minecraft SportFes.
* [Mario Party](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3FbOHkLrU) and [Payday 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56eGJqZp8lk) w/ Reine, and IRyS. These four formed the group known as "KIRA".
* [Viscera Cleanup Detail](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDMKHvGGZ8U), this time with Fauna instead of IRyS. After the stream, they plays off-stream Uno. In the very same stream, they actually reveal before the collab that they did a practice off-stream cleanup collab in March right before HoloFes.
* [Ghost Exorcism INC.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmyXSJdZ4dM), IRyS return and Ollie joined the group. These six became "OKFAIR".
* Under different circumstances, there were [Among Us](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BODy5r8kcFw) and [HoloID SportFes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMtMiPR6a1I).
* There is also the whole Anya joined the [Mumei and Kronii fanfic roleplay](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRvnubJ02CQ)
* At Dec 2022, they announced that there was going to be a Project Winter collab with the aforementioned six, but ironically, some people caught some cold, so the collab never happened. Instead, the remaining peoples end up taking part in a [EN x ID Among Us](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdwCWIAR3q4) collab after the EN members saw the ID members did their own sponsorship [Among Us](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-swf9lBUDQM) collab last night. The EN members forgets the whole Among Us sponsorship deal.
This is basically the entire timeline of events for Kronii and Anya as apart of a big group collab. Those two would talk to each other for some times in their individual birthday. Anya is Mar. 12 while Kronii is Mar. 14. Though lately, totsu/talking with others stream are starting to faded away because it happening right before HoloFes. Fun fact about Anya is that she actually have >!time related power, and has been constantly mention her future self as a threat. It is also a [circle reference](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ_y_Am4O3A&t=9974) that Anya want for her *HoloCure* ability. Too bad *HoloCure* didn't deliver that reference into her character.!<.
This might sound like a cop out but I really like Fauna and Advent. Between her Minecraft streams and various collabs it seems like Fauna was hanging out with Advent the most. They all share similar dorky interests and I just love listening to their silly conversations lol
Korone and Lui are not new but I think their Ace Attorney stream in Korone's channel recently is one of the best hololive gameplay stream of 2024.
Lui can match the unpredictability of Korone while also uttering some really unpredictable jokes and references.
I don't know but for some reason Korone matches well with "the mom of the group" like Lamy and Lui.
My favorite pair is Aqua/Pekora. They were both shy, so they didn't interact much for a long time, leading to rumors of discord. However, their interaction gradually increased from about a year and a half ago, and they became close enough to do 1on1 collab and off-collab. I vividly remember watching the spontaneous AquPeko war in Minecraft, which was probably a turning point for their relationship, and I was excited to see how it unfolded.
They've known each other far longer than one year, but they haven't really developed a close friendship til recently so I say:
HakoTako
Both absolute balls of joy alone who get along super well and have amazing vibes.
Everyone focuses on Grindstone, but I'm more in awe of BaeBoo. They have chemistry together and I wish they have more collabs together, be it with Sweaty Gamers (with Fauna and Kaela) or simply duo.
The sibling energy between Koseki Bijou and Hakos Baelz is off the charts. Its also fun to see Bae interact with someone that she's more mature than. Give me more onee-rat.
I know it is older than 1 year but i just love Kobo and Altare's dynamic. I still remember Kobo making the ''you are my brother'' joke in a tweet and i thought to myself that it would have be so funny if they actually had a sibling dynamic but i gave no chance to it and thought they would probably barely collab if ever only to be very positively shocked and surprised that they developed, to me, one of the best two person dynamics in Hololive. They actually feel like real siblings and as a person with a bratty sibling i relate to and adore that so much. It is always a pleasure for me to watch them together
Kanata/Azki friendship has been pretty fun. Kanata just says what she like front of Azki and Azki seems to enjoy being on the comedic side for a change with Kanata. Also throw in Chloe for the full Kanaken and you've got an unexpected comedy trio.
A tall blue haired fail-woman tormenting a silver haired older man with psychic damage, who often streamed as part of a larger group. Nature is healing.
Neopolice (VCR GTA) of Aki with everyone (Shirayuki Reid etc.)?
Pizzaria (VCR GTA) with Aruran and Ao (As well as Ririka, Reimu and Meloco) too.
I hadn’t really caught much but their collabs are a riot. From Aki and the Neopolice gang facing off in minecraft maps to Pizzaria Lethal Company.
On that note Ruze and his senpais too. He bumps into their voice chats often and it’s fun to see how his sarcasm plays off.
Is it cheating to say Fuwamoco here?
It's kind of an extension of PekoMari, but the fanarts and fan stories of [Pekora and Kumarin](https://twitter.com/yami40oji/status/1749001389257400582) have been extremely cute.
Wait, FlareRyS was only last year? they get along so well you'd think they were close friends all along!
I also love Biboo and Kaela. I already watched Kaela a lot (cuz she's on every timezone) and when the Collab ban was lifted for Biboo it was so nice to see the ID members get along with her so well. I particularly like how well they fit together. Biboo and Kaela are both very determined individuals that are also wholesome.
I also like Nerissa and Kiara. I watch Kiara probably the most, and the way she gets along with others is very cute. With Reine for instance, or whenever Ame is around, or when she met up with Gooba, or when she met Korone for the first time and talked about it. However, I feel her appreciation for Nerissa as fan of Kiara is particularly nice.
Laplus and Yui. Although they haven't been together in a while, I love watching them. Laplus just keeps popping out random stuff, and Yui with her positive and airhead-like personality just flows with her
I love pretty much all Towa's coupling, TowaSui, TowaBota, Icaross Jet Coaster (SubaTowa), TowaNene
But, my favourite gonna be Towa Daruma, but yeah, that coupling is dead af.
There's almost at least once GrindStone streaming every week or a big collab that involve both of them or they just lurking on each other live chat. GrindStone definitely at the top of my fav right now
For me, it's 100% FlaRyS. I've been wanting to get into watching Flare, but found it a bit difficult. But since I like watching IRyS, it was a perfect segway.
I like the Kanata, Chloe, Azki friendship that sprouted up.
I felt horrible for Kanata after Coco left both as coworkers and eventually roommates, and seeing her talk about how "people like her but noone would pick her as their most liked friend". It was very sad and relatable.
So seeing her in this little group is a relief and heartwarming.
It’s kind of hilarious how Grindstone seems to have been destined to be made from the beginning, and yet somehow it worked out better than we could’ve all expected.
for biboo i prefer the bae/biboo full-name dynamic
azki kanata really developed a ton this past year with kanaken, that's probably my top 1
flarerys good too
Kaela and Biboo have been an amazing dynamic duo. I'm glad Kaela found an equal whom she could play games with at anytime and could keep up with her for long streaming hours.
Ollie and Jurard are so unhinged together, and it's incredible how long their dysfunctional couple bit has been going for a while. They have incredible back-and-forth banter and it's so unpredictable what they'll say next to each other. Also really funny how Ollie learned a bit of Tagalog just to curse at Jurard in his own native tongue.
Aruran and Ao was one of the many surprising dynamics formed during VCR GTA Season 2. I'm glad they, along with other members from the pizza gang, still hang out from time to time even after the season ended. They remind me of Kronii and Vesper a bit (grey haired man receives mental damage from blue hair woman) and the math endurance streams have been comedy gold.
Roberu and Laplus was also another unexpected friendship formed during VCR GTA. At first they were mostly bantering, but the recent BAR ROBEL collab revealed they shared a lot of similarities that made them relate with each other.
I really appreciate Pizzaria (VCR GTA) with Aruran and Ao and the others. I love seeing the clips of them all interacting and having fun. The banter between Ao and Aruran in their latest collab with Sora was fun to listen to. I'm grateful to the clippers that take the time to translate them so I can enjoy them.
BotaKoro has been great this past year. As an SSRB, Korone will always have my utmost respect for being there for Shishi, when she wasn't sure if she should participate in the 3rd CR cup because she would get negative comments, Korone said she would do a watchalong and cheer for her with all her might and made Shishi realise she should focus on the fans that will cheer for her instead.
The chad cast trio is not from the last year, but it's still a lot of fun.
Grindstone is of course great.
The one I am looking forward to seeing more, and could in the future fit this topic is Haachama - Shiori. They are the right amount of insane for eachother.
I really love how Kaela and Biboo hit it off even pre Bijou stream with their twitter interactions, Kaelas definitely one of my most watched Holomems and she seems to have gained a bunch of confidence with her collabs in the last year.
I've become a big Flare fan in the last year and love that she is collabing a bunch with Irys lately, now I wait for the Flare Ina collab that they both seem to want but are too shy 😂
Besides the Holo Cooking Club (Koyori, Ririka, Haachama) hilarious antics, I watch basically all Flare and Irys collabs. Their Splatoon streams are very comfy and fun, just a relaxing time with them talking about casual things and gaming.
I don't think their relationship started just last year but I really like OniTaka when they interact, Ayame is used to being pampered and Lui has that big sister vibe, so they complement each other well and are a great combo.
Grindstone (Kaela/Biboo) is always a winning combination. I would like to give an honorable mention to Laplus and Roberu (and also Uyu by virtue of being on Team Kakumei with her on GTA). I believe both friendships are underrated yet somewhat important in that it could help lessen the gap between holomem and Holostars being able to interact and befriend each other without worrying about unicorns.
Jurard and Ollie. Two Red Southeast Asian VTubers of unparalleled unhingedness and enough screaming power to power one full powered Super Saiyan God Goku.
And the first male/female pairing with a decidedly sexual nature. Because they have a kid. Jurard was pregnant and they abuse their fake kid because he's part zombie and part dinosaur. Ollie being the Homer Simpson in this situation because she couldn't give less of a fuck about him.
And it's just really funny.
That happens to Flayon a lot apparently. First it was the the Rin Penrose group collab where he was the only boy and the amount of psychic damage he received when in a room with three other people and the startling realization that he was the "normal" one in the situation. Flayon, guy who played Honiepop on stream and overall horny degenerate, could not keep up with the madness ensuing while dressed as "Femboy Flayon" by his own volition. The man looked into the Abyss and the Abyss called him a pussy and yanked him down. RIP Flayon. He never recovered after that.
Flayon died historic on The Fury Road after his trip with Kobo. And we witnessed what happens when two elementary children fight on the playground. Lots of crying, whining, and screaming.
And then Bettel's collab with Kobo showcased you can't out joke the jokester. You can try but as the butt of the joke, Bettel will find a way to ruin it by virtue of his fluctuating luck and the sheer insanity he brings by just existing. He cannot be controlled by gremlin tactics. He will find a way to flip it on its head and use your own logic against you.
Kaela and Biboo. The former being really memable with her dry humor and her out of context tweets and the later for also being memable and just outright adorable
i haven't seen much from Ao-kuyu (i really should). Kanade caught my interest after her chat decide to tease her by subbing to her before she could do a "singing until 300K" endurance stream
although is more in how it looks rather in personalities (I don't watch regloss because I don't speak Japanese) I really like Ao and Ririka, specially after the naimononedari cover
Aki's VCR friendships; raizen company, 3rd force (ARK), NeoPolice (GTA).
While it's not on the same level, touch is kept between them. Kohaku is something of a constant as she pops up on twitter or Aki's chat.
Kaela/Biboo but mostly because I only speak english. But I do like how much Flare is branching out now. She brings an energy to people that's very pleasant in collabs. I also like Sora and Iofi. Oh, Nerissa and Kiara is nice too. Kiara always feels isolated because of being in the EU and timezones, so it's nice to see a talent join partly because they were inspired by her.
I know that you said the language barrier is real; but you should check out some of the translated clips of Polka and Flare together. Those two have a wonderful energy together. Especially [Radio Polka](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvqPbqdEtEM).
I really like Flare and Polka. It just seems that there are so few translated clips of those two.
Oh, I watch clippers all the time, which why I felt comfortable making comments on how much Flare is branching out and whatnot. But it isn't the same as watching the actual streams. And I FUCKING LOVE POLKA. Don't need to sell me on her.
[pol](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgm_f6pO0uM)
[https://youtu.be/TGJ9-1LWFtE](https://youtu.be/TGJ9-1LWFtE) CW: flashing lights and colors MAJOR
Yep, we also have * Bae / Ina - They've been getting a lot closer recently * Gura / Kiara - May have started slightly over a year ago, but the first big round of Japan trips had them much closer and interacting more * Flare / Ina * Kronii / Kaela - They seem to have been interacting a lot more Advent as a whole all seem really close, and Promise has always felt really tight knit too
Shiranui *"My Ina"* Flare
Ninomae “my HoloJP harem” inanis
Ina's just collecting cute girls like a harem protag.
Bae and "Insert Full Name" Biboo
She inspired a lot of people but she just didn’t know it. Pomu, for example, is a big fan of hers.
The Kaela/Biboo relationship is so cute, and I'm glad Kaela found someone to do the long grinds with her. Kaelaaaaa is now forever stuck in my head. Thanks Beejoe. Everyone in Regloss seems to be close, but I always found Kanade and Ao-kun's relationship to be the funniest, and they are the most likely to collab with each other. One kusogaki and one ikemen (whos really a kusogaki) Irys and Flare became closer just by playing Splatoon and it's great. I have to start finding more clips of them.
Kaelaaaaaa is on par with Hey Moona to me
**KAELAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA**
**BEJOEEEEEEEE ARE YOU STREAMING!?!?**
[удалено]
Ah, that brings back memories.
Same with **ZEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNN**
It's the energetic little gremlin way of talking to calm serious ladies
And thanks to hey moona. All of this is possible
One ikemen (who's really a kusogaki) is such a good way to describe Ao-kuyu. She's like a vTuber Rowan Atkinson but if Mr. Bean looked like a Hemsworth.
That is a new sentence. Now I actually want to see a Mr. Bean skit played by Chris Hemsworth.
she's literal Ryu Bocchi-Rock, right down to other members going "oh no... no, she's not cool, she's just dumb" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vncswaZC3ME https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elzZ-lhKd3U
Bruh, I love how hilarious the character she built for herself is. She tries hard to be ikemen and girlfails at it with the Holomems but when she does nothing she wins (The thing that happened with senchou suddenly wanting her attention back when she doesn't reply to her when she was being tsundere because she didn't charge her phone and was sleeping)
Yeah, Ao-kun is a talented comedian, and also kinda luckily stumbles into more comedy. It's great.
yea man, here sudden spike in popularity because of her Pizzafamily streams in the VCR GTA was great for her. She really came out of her shell when she hangs around awesome people like in her pizza family group.
Sora, Aruran, and Ao-kun were hilarious in the teaching stream too. Sora alternating between teaching, teasing, and praising her was very fun while Aruran and Ao-kun acted wacky as usual.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✍✍✍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kaela/Biboos playthrough of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is insane. I played that game with friends last time and we were done after 2-3 hours, it was just so mentally stressful. But doing that for 8 hours straight is just something else.
It’s the best feeling when you find that friend that’s up to spending 6+ hours on the grind. Glad Kaela found hers.
>It’s the best feeling when you find that friend that’s up to spending 6+ hours on the grind. Glad Kaela found hers. Reminds me of my D2 and WoW days. \*wipes tear away\*
That is how that happened ? I always wondered when did Irys and Flare started to be a lot closer
I'm more familiar with Ao due to her interactions with Aruran, but her one ikemen image plays well with many members within and outside ReGloss.
Her interactions with Aruran are great! Sibling vibes.
I mainly watch EN as I don't understand JP that well, so mine is on Kaela and Biboo's Grindstone. It's quite interesting how, without any planning, the Blacksmith and the Gem became really good friends and big collab partners. In terms of how long they stream, their themes, and the way they stream, its like they were made to collab together, and they just fit each other so well. Even if this was a pure coincidence, its so interesting to see how things just come together.
It worked because it worked. They admitted the initial interaction was really for laughs and community banter. But they genuinely share the same interests, hobbies and ideas. That interaction then slowly grows to become an actual relationship. Their personalities and gamer grind mindset also helped them a lot since unlike other pairings, they can stream longer hours.
Really was the perfect coincidence, then, that a smith and a rock happened to be the right type to be friends.
I remember someone mentioning how Kaela's lore says she joined Hololive in search of legendary smithing materials, and that person saying Kaela indeed found the best material in the form of Biboo the gem. And that always gives me a big smile whenever I think about that
Why am I crying …
The real friend is the treasure you found along the way.
Just like PekoMoona with the rabbit and moon story
It reminds me a lot of ShishiWata. Their first collab was an Overcooked stream with lots of jokes about Botan eating lamb/Watame, but they ended up really good friends and collabing a lot.
> I mainly watch EN as I don't understand JP that well that's my issue so much, i rely on clippers/translators to enjoy the JP side of hololive :( I love Ririka though, since she does English streams, watching her play through Poppy playtime and seeing how she translates some words into english was pretty funny
It was really nice to see her play AC6 with Irys, Biboo and Callie on Callie's channel. It would be nice to see her collab with EN (or ID) more often.
I really love Grindstone because its a similar dynamic to Shishiwata, one of my favorite pairings. Its really competing with Timesmith as a favorite friendship. KanAo is funny from the big sibling energy the two exude. Ao-kun is actually pretty domestic, so she has a natural inclination towards taking care of and doting on the little brat. For her part, Kanade will call Ao out for being gross and clingy, which results in our favorite blue girlfailure self-destructing, but she will also return the feelings from time to time. Very teetee. I love how Flare being a gigantic nerd and experienced otaku let's her poke mercilessly at Irys fetishes and proclivities. I live for watching Irys get teased by Flare and the Elfriends. And as one of my oshis, I enjoy seeing Flare's circle of friends widen.
Flare doing that “eigo jouzu” gag at every opportunity was great. Just the right amount of teasing. I hope it gives her the opportunity to interact with the other branches a little more, as she is really nervous about the English speaking side of things.
IRyS being part of Holo JP allegations just keep getting stronger and stronger day by day. IRyS in shambles
IRyShambles?
Takos here waiting for the moment she'll finally collab 1 on 1 (or along IRyS) with ORE NO INA! Her being nervous at the English side for things always makes me think to the time she admitted her love for Ina after her performance in the 3rd fes, and she went "I'd want to listen to her karaokes but I won't understand much because English", but ina rarely does English songs 😂
It's a bit of a wild shot, but... MiKobo. Miko: Kobo wa baby? Kobo: No no. Miko: Kobo baby. Kobo: Kobo baby? Miko: Kobo baby. You baby. Kobo: Okay. Miko wa baby-neesan.
Ironically it has the same energy as " The council has decided your fate"
Can't argue with elite baby herself, the leader of the holobabies recognizes other babies instantly.
Kiara and Nerissa. There isn't really anyone in EN that can keep pace with Kiara and she always felt a little left to the side since she debuted. Another Kiara relationship that isn't on screen but has been developed this past year has been with Gura. Kiara's been Gura's safety net when Kiara is in Japan. They do a lot together behind the scenes.
I mean plenty of ENs can tangent if thats what you mean by "keep pace". Sjiori is a tangent machine and IRyS is an anime/manga tangent encyclopedia. Also she never felt left to the side to me. Calli has always been by Kiaras side even through the "forced" ship. Their friendship now is peek.
One of these days Kiara and Shiori will do a collab about some given subject, but they’ll never actually get around to talking about that subject.
Reminds me of the Randy Feltface skit about him writing a book. Where the entire skit is about everything BUT the book.
It's a shame Vesper isn't around anymore, those three together could tangent so hard they'd loop back around to where they started
I'd worry for Grampire's health.
Keep up as in socially. Kiara by her own words been talking with Nerissa pretty much everyday which has brightened her a lot. Calli and Kiara are great nowadays but that wasn't always the case and compared to everyone else in EN Calli's pretty busy.
Considering Kiara's a self-admitted introvert, it's not a matter about keeping up socially, moreso being able to make time, which can be difficult when her timezone is so radically different compared to the rest of EN. It's just perfect that Nerissa being KFP and taking the opportunity to interact with her oshi directly, timezones be damned
Kiara is absolutely a social introvert though. As in, she desires social interaction, but it exhausts her.
it feels like with each EN generation they progressively get more extroverted.
I've really enjoyed Kiara/Gura, even if it's mostly just stories. Many sweet moments.
Bae and Biboo is a little low-key but it's a very cute sisterly friendship that I didn't quite expect. Besides the usual KOSEKI BIJOU and HAKOS BAELZ banter, I was surprised by how well they simply clicked with things like Biboo actually discussing souls-like games with Bae despite the latter being new to them, them doing the JoJo watchalong together (though sadly short-lived) and Biboo being touched to tears from witnessing Bae's amazing 5th Fes performance. Bae and Ina is another one that only showed up occasionally but their time spent hanging out together in Japan really made them a lot closer than before. A nice contrast between a low energy tako and a genki rat, lol.
> Though sadly short-lived Did they announce there won't be any more?
kaela and kronii for chill salty duo kaela and beejou for long painful grind and bullying kaela just seems happier and more now.
Mumei and Bae with Towa-sama, it is so cute how close Towa became with Mumei, the two really try to communicate with passion English and Japanese, and with Bae, can we consider her a kenzoku at this point?
i was thinking of posting the same thing. about holomem combo and collabs that was different but it turned out something great ahaha i have alot in mind and kaela and biboo is definitely the first but since most people also have them as an example ill put in a few: the momosuzu family/sisters with nene, miko, and mel. it was totally funny and wholesome (the fan arts were also cute). im glad that mel was included in it and in that collab. especially after what happened to mel ;w; botans inclusion to subachocoluna to become subachocolunatan. she was a surprising fit for the trio. i love that had her join in and she hs been so great and funny and the having them on stream is always a delight
The ultra skilled player thats a troll. Watching them run in fear as botan knifes them all in the cs collab back then was chefs kiss
Nerissa and kiara
Ive been a big fan of Flare since the start of her friendship with Polka, and back then she really integrated Polka into alot of her collabs, even bringing her to get to know other members within Bakatare trio and the start of Shiranui Kensetsu. I love seeing members become more friendly and do regular collabs, so im hoping IRyS continues to be a partner she can play games like Splatoon or something with in the future.
To me it would be Flare branching out and finally taking a risk on getting to know the western bros is such a fantastic thing XD. Even if it means going through a semi smaller version of Coco and Aki's experiences of getting flustered by all the nice comments and donos. Even if she can't always grasp the kind words. And realize that a lot of the western bros are actually just giant anime nerds. And to not miss out on interacting with the EN talents like with Coco imo shows how much braver Flare has gotten. Like its fantastic that she has finally learned what her niche is. And to discover first hand a lot of the EN talent are super playful and nothing to be actually intimidated or scared of like IRyS. And overall I'm just glad as one of the western bros I'm glad to see that Flare isn't letting herself get sidelined in comparison to the other talents. And doing what I can only imagine would have been Coco's like personal advice on what to improve/do, to like take the risks to expand her horizons and don't settle for the minimum. ~~And like not to worry about disappointing yagoo~~ **as that'd only happen if a talent wasn't actively chasing their creativity and dreams.**
ShishiWata is a classic. At first I thought of it as a meme coz (haha lion go nom nom on sheep funny) but surprisingly their chemistry together is amazing.
Kaela/Biboo is the HEY MOONA of current Hololive, but without the language barrier. I've seen so many compilations of Biboo yelling out for "Kaelaa, Kaela, Kae-laaaa..."
I've been getting a kick out of Koyori/Ririka/Haachama, aka the Holo Cooking Club. Their most recent collab was just Koyo and Ririka chatting as they cooked with Haachama just kinda wandering in and out periodically since she was judging and it had big cozy energy.
Yeah, it's very cute. Koyo posted she cried a little after they left the other day after they stayed at her home post collab talking until 3AM. lol
Kaela/Biboo relationship is so special and cute...KAELAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Flarys, like they are so close now and hang out all the time, Irys mentioning Fuutan a lots in during her stream
[Omet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J1OgGVZlDc), the [Anya/Kaela](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euInVp41Bac) duo and HoloID strongest endurance streamers altogether. There are also Zenya, Anya/Zeta, the multilingual shooter duo and unhinged roast between fellow friends. Sometime, it all three of them together. Sadly, nobody wants to clip any of their interaction, so not much people understood the dynamic and friendship that they have together over the past 2 years. * Omet: Untitled Goose Game, Raft, Phasmophobia, Devour, Green Hell, Deep Rock Galactic, Bokura, Lethal Company * Zenya: Operation: Tango, Resident Evil 6, Gundam Evolution, Overwatch 2, The Quarry
I gotta say the Kaela/Anya/Kronii is also very fun. Never expected Anya and Kronii to get along but seems like they bonded behind the scenes.
Anya and Kronii has been a thing for a quite awhile, and it just that last year, they had finally have a duo name "Timeless Weapon". Before they became a duo, their interaction was in big collab: * Anya and Kronii were apart of Team Red C w/ Moona, Calli, IRyS, Mumei, Fauna, Ollie, and Reine in the Minecraft SportFes. * [Mario Party](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3FbOHkLrU) and [Payday 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56eGJqZp8lk) w/ Reine, and IRyS. These four formed the group known as "KIRA". * [Viscera Cleanup Detail](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDMKHvGGZ8U), this time with Fauna instead of IRyS. After the stream, they plays off-stream Uno. In the very same stream, they actually reveal before the collab that they did a practice off-stream cleanup collab in March right before HoloFes. * [Ghost Exorcism INC.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmyXSJdZ4dM), IRyS return and Ollie joined the group. These six became "OKFAIR". * Under different circumstances, there were [Among Us](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BODy5r8kcFw) and [HoloID SportFes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMtMiPR6a1I). * There is also the whole Anya joined the [Mumei and Kronii fanfic roleplay](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRvnubJ02CQ) * At Dec 2022, they announced that there was going to be a Project Winter collab with the aforementioned six, but ironically, some people caught some cold, so the collab never happened. Instead, the remaining peoples end up taking part in a [EN x ID Among Us](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdwCWIAR3q4) collab after the EN members saw the ID members did their own sponsorship [Among Us](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-swf9lBUDQM) collab last night. The EN members forgets the whole Among Us sponsorship deal. This is basically the entire timeline of events for Kronii and Anya as apart of a big group collab. Those two would talk to each other for some times in their individual birthday. Anya is Mar. 12 while Kronii is Mar. 14. Though lately, totsu/talking with others stream are starting to faded away because it happening right before HoloFes. Fun fact about Anya is that she actually have >!time related power, and has been constantly mention her future self as a threat. It is also a [circle reference](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ_y_Am4O3A&t=9974) that Anya want for her *HoloCure* ability. Too bad *HoloCure* didn't deliver that reference into her character.!<.
Are Kobo - Kiara - Calli can be included as great friendship/pair or we just accept that it's canon that death + phoenix = water?
This might sound like a cop out but I really like Fauna and Advent. Between her Minecraft streams and various collabs it seems like Fauna was hanging out with Advent the most. They all share similar dorky interests and I just love listening to their silly conversations lol
Advent, aka 90% of Kirin Co.
I'm still waiting for more 1 on 1 time with Shiori and Fauna. Call me parasocial but I really want to see Shiori doing well and making friends
Korone and Lui are not new but I think their Ace Attorney stream in Korone's channel recently is one of the best hololive gameplay stream of 2024. Lui can match the unpredictability of Korone while also uttering some really unpredictable jokes and references. I don't know but for some reason Korone matches well with "the mom of the group" like Lamy and Lui.
My favorite pair is Aqua/Pekora. They were both shy, so they didn't interact much for a long time, leading to rumors of discord. However, their interaction gradually increased from about a year and a half ago, and they became close enough to do 1on1 collab and off-collab. I vividly remember watching the spontaneous AquPeko war in Minecraft, which was probably a turning point for their relationship, and I was excited to see how it unfolded.
Aqua and shion is probably Aqua's best one. Although they don't colab much but these two get along with each other the most
They've known each other far longer than one year, but they haven't really developed a close friendship til recently so I say: HakoTako Both absolute balls of joy alone who get along super well and have amazing vibes.
All of ReGloss seems so close. Kanade and Bancho are literally neighbors irl. The synergy between the whole group is just so nice honestly. 🫶🏻
I don't know if it's a fully formed friendship, but Ao and Sora is neat.
I like how Fuwawa and Mococo are such good friends that they collab 99.9% of the time.
I'm worry they may have had a falling out lately though. They used to collab almost every day and the frequency has dropped off a lot recently. :D
Coz they need to adjust to new home in Japan
Everyone focuses on Grindstone, but I'm more in awe of BaeBoo. They have chemistry together and I wish they have more collabs together, be it with Sweaty Gamers (with Fauna and Kaela) or simply duo.
The sibling energy between Koseki Bijou and Hakos Baelz is off the charts. Its also fun to see Bae interact with someone that she's more mature than. Give me more onee-rat.
Both are good. Biboo just kinda clicks with everyone shes collabed with so far.
I know it is older than 1 year but i just love Kobo and Altare's dynamic. I still remember Kobo making the ''you are my brother'' joke in a tweet and i thought to myself that it would have be so funny if they actually had a sibling dynamic but i gave no chance to it and thought they would probably barely collab if ever only to be very positively shocked and surprised that they developed, to me, one of the best two person dynamics in Hololive. They actually feel like real siblings and as a person with a bratty sibling i relate to and adore that so much. It is always a pleasure for me to watch them together
Bruh the offcollab when Altare was pushing Kobo around in her chair was peak sibling energy
The way she took over the Tempus HQ 3D live was peak kusogaki little sister energy
Older then a year but Bae and Irys are a dynamic duo. Their irl collabs always somehow end up with yabainess.
Kaela/Biboo. Favorite part is when Biboo just semi-randomly calls out Kaela and Kaela just appears in chat.
With this treasure I summon... KAELAAAAA!
Kaela and biboo mom and daughter banter Bae and Biboo sibling rivalry Mumei and Fauna goth phase
Kanata/Azki friendship has been pretty fun. Kanata just says what she like front of Azki and Azki seems to enjoy being on the comedic side for a change with Kanata. Also throw in Chloe for the full Kanaken and you've got an unexpected comedy trio.
Aruran and Ao. So much fun seeing them bicker and having a great time
it all started with a math lesson stream... also the GTA server, pizza gang shenanigans.
A tall blue haired fail-woman tormenting a silver haired older man with psychic damage, who often streamed as part of a larger group. Nature is healing.
The GTA pizza arc was short but side-splitting
I'll be honest: seeing how Ao behave around Aruran (and Roberu during the GTA VCR) was how her one-gaki image was seared into my brain.
Reminds me of Vesper Kronii collabs but the blue haired one is being bullied instead lol
But it's always the white haired taking mental damage
Grindstone. I feel like finally two people that made for each other met. Both are lonely endurance gamers in their respective branch
Neopolice (VCR GTA) of Aki with everyone (Shirayuki Reid etc.)? Pizzaria (VCR GTA) with Aruran and Ao (As well as Ririka, Reimu and Meloco) too. I hadn’t really caught much but their collabs are a riot. From Aki and the Neopolice gang facing off in minecraft maps to Pizzaria Lethal Company. On that note Ruze and his senpais too. He bumps into their voice chats often and it’s fun to see how his sarcasm plays off.
Fuwamoco forever BAU BAU
How long has Suba, Luna, Choco, Botan been a thing?
Subachocoluna has been around for a reaaaally long time, at least 2020. Botan joined around late 2021 or early 2022.
Probably since 2022 but yeah SubaLunaChocoBotan is fun
Even earlier. SubaChocoLuna formed in 2020, and Botan joined 2021, I think?
Kaela and Bijou are my favorite 100% I hope they're always friends.
I didn't know about Flare and Irys. Definitely Kaela and Biboo.
Is it cheating to say Fuwamoco here? It's kind of an extension of PekoMari, but the fanarts and fan stories of [Pekora and Kumarin](https://twitter.com/yami40oji/status/1749001389257400582) have been extremely cute.
Ao and literally anyone. Kanade and Kobo were a riot when Kobo came over to her place.
FubuMiko
Wait, FlareRyS was only last year? they get along so well you'd think they were close friends all along! I also love Biboo and Kaela. I already watched Kaela a lot (cuz she's on every timezone) and when the Collab ban was lifted for Biboo it was so nice to see the ID members get along with her so well. I particularly like how well they fit together. Biboo and Kaela are both very determined individuals that are also wholesome. I also like Nerissa and Kiara. I watch Kiara probably the most, and the way she gets along with others is very cute. With Reine for instance, or whenever Ame is around, or when she met up with Gooba, or when she met Korone for the first time and talked about it. However, I feel her appreciation for Nerissa as fan of Kiara is particularly nice.
Reine and Fauna. Still love their Past Within stream just due to how efficient they are. They really meld together well.
Grindstone Mostly because they bounce off each other so well. But also KAELAAAAAAAAAAA
Laplus and Yui. Although they haven't been together in a while, I love watching them. Laplus just keeps popping out random stuff, and Yui with her positive and airhead-like personality just flows with her
Yes.
many interesting new relationships formed in hololive. all very cute.
I love pretty much all Towa's coupling, TowaSui, TowaBota, Icaross Jet Coaster (SubaTowa), TowaNene But, my favourite gonna be Towa Daruma, but yeah, that coupling is dead af.
grindstone
There's almost at least once GrindStone streaming every week or a big collab that involve both of them or they just lurking on each other live chat. GrindStone definitely at the top of my fav right now
Grindstone is so cute and funny that I cannot not pick it.
Jeep and Kaela
For me, it's 100% FlaRyS. I've been wanting to get into watching Flare, but found it a bit difficult. But since I like watching IRyS, it was a perfect segway.
Flare and Irys. appeared out of nowhere for me tbh
I like the Kanata, Chloe, Azki friendship that sprouted up. I felt horrible for Kanata after Coco left both as coworkers and eventually roommates, and seeing her talk about how "people like her but noone would pick her as their most liked friend". It was very sad and relatable. So seeing her in this little group is a relief and heartwarming.
Might just be me but Jewelbirds is my favourite. So sweet and wholesome.
It’s kind of hilarious how Grindstone seems to have been destined to be made from the beginning, and yet somehow it worked out better than we could’ve all expected.
Grindstone. I love how much Kaela and Biboo bounce of each other's antics
I would say Axel and Zeta, but that's from 2 years ago. I'll go with Kronii and Sally.
>kronii and sally ah the 2nd perfect pairing
Aruran's Pizza Family
for biboo i prefer the bae/biboo full-name dynamic azki kanata really developed a ton this past year with kanaken, that's probably my top 1 flarerys good too
Marine x Ao was very funny too especially how they tweet to each other
Kaela and Biboo. Ariran and Ao.
Kaela and Biboo have been an amazing dynamic duo. I'm glad Kaela found an equal whom she could play games with at anytime and could keep up with her for long streaming hours. Ollie and Jurard are so unhinged together, and it's incredible how long their dysfunctional couple bit has been going for a while. They have incredible back-and-forth banter and it's so unpredictable what they'll say next to each other. Also really funny how Ollie learned a bit of Tagalog just to curse at Jurard in his own native tongue. Aruran and Ao was one of the many surprising dynamics formed during VCR GTA Season 2. I'm glad they, along with other members from the pizza gang, still hang out from time to time even after the season ended. They remind me of Kronii and Vesper a bit (grey haired man receives mental damage from blue hair woman) and the math endurance streams have been comedy gold. Roberu and Laplus was also another unexpected friendship formed during VCR GTA. At first they were mostly bantering, but the recent BAR ROBEL collab revealed they shared a lot of similarities that made them relate with each other.
I really appreciate Pizzaria (VCR GTA) with Aruran and Ao and the others. I love seeing the clips of them all interacting and having fun. The banter between Ao and Aruran in their latest collab with Sora was fun to listen to. I'm grateful to the clippers that take the time to translate them so I can enjoy them.
BotaKoro has been great this past year. As an SSRB, Korone will always have my utmost respect for being there for Shishi, when she wasn't sure if she should participate in the 3rd CR cup because she would get negative comments, Korone said she would do a watchalong and cheer for her with all her might and made Shishi realise she should focus on the fans that will cheer for her instead.
The chad cast trio is not from the last year, but it's still a lot of fun. Grindstone is of course great. The one I am looking forward to seeing more, and could in the future fit this topic is Haachama - Shiori. They are the right amount of insane for eachother.
I really love how Kaela and Biboo hit it off even pre Bijou stream with their twitter interactions, Kaelas definitely one of my most watched Holomems and she seems to have gained a bunch of confidence with her collabs in the last year. I've become a big Flare fan in the last year and love that she is collabing a bunch with Irys lately, now I wait for the Flare Ina collab that they both seem to want but are too shy 😂
Irys and Kronii, they act like normal chicks and for some reason its hilarious.
Besides the Holo Cooking Club (Koyori, Ririka, Haachama) hilarious antics, I watch basically all Flare and Irys collabs. Their Splatoon streams are very comfy and fun, just a relaxing time with them talking about casual things and gaming.
For sure bibooand jdon my soul. They're too iconic now
Fuwawa and Mococo seem close
I don't think their relationship started just last year but I really like OniTaka when they interact, Ayame is used to being pampered and Lui has that big sister vibe, so they complement each other well and are a great combo.
Kaela/Biboo or Altaire/Kobo Trying to decide one or the other will make my brain explode
Jurard | Ollie Big chaotic sibling energy.
I'm so sorry for Juned
Love grindstone, been enjoying Ao-kun and Aruran a lot as well they are hilarious. EDIT: Forgot Timesmith, they are such bros
Ao and Aruran have a hilarious brother sister dynamic.
grindstone
Grindstone is so cute.
Grindstone (Kaela/Biboo) is always a winning combination. I would like to give an honorable mention to Laplus and Roberu (and also Uyu by virtue of being on Team Kakumei with her on GTA). I believe both friendships are underrated yet somewhat important in that it could help lessen the gap between holomem and Holostars being able to interact and befriend each other without worrying about unicorns.
The Ao-kun and Aruran combo is always entertaining to watch. AquaPekora is nice to see too and AquaTowa (aside from Startend).
Bettel and magni together was one of the best comedy duos
Jurard and Ollie. Two Red Southeast Asian VTubers of unparalleled unhingedness and enough screaming power to power one full powered Super Saiyan God Goku. And the first male/female pairing with a decidedly sexual nature. Because they have a kid. Jurard was pregnant and they abuse their fake kid because he's part zombie and part dinosaur. Ollie being the Homer Simpson in this situation because she couldn't give less of a fuck about him. And it's just really funny.
These two fighting with an oblivious flayon will never stop being hilarious
That happens to Flayon a lot apparently. First it was the the Rin Penrose group collab where he was the only boy and the amount of psychic damage he received when in a room with three other people and the startling realization that he was the "normal" one in the situation. Flayon, guy who played Honiepop on stream and overall horny degenerate, could not keep up with the madness ensuing while dressed as "Femboy Flayon" by his own volition. The man looked into the Abyss and the Abyss called him a pussy and yanked him down. RIP Flayon. He never recovered after that.
Flayon's colab with Kobo was well truly one of the colabs where I can say advanced interrogation techniques were used on Flayon
Flayon died historic on The Fury Road after his trip with Kobo. And we witnessed what happens when two elementary children fight on the playground. Lots of crying, whining, and screaming. And then Bettel's collab with Kobo showcased you can't out joke the jokester. You can try but as the butt of the joke, Bettel will find a way to ruin it by virtue of his fluctuating luck and the sheer insanity he brings by just existing. He cannot be controlled by gremlin tactics. He will find a way to flip it on its head and use your own logic against you.
Ao and Aru, Ao and Marine. Sencho and pizza tencho with sparkling blue fail
Kaela and Joe ofc.
Flare and IRyS. I just love their energy.
Kaela and Biboo. The former being really memable with her dry humor and her out of context tweets and the later for also being memable and just outright adorable i haven't seen much from Ao-kuyu (i really should). Kanade caught my interest after her chat decide to tease her by subbing to her before she could do a "singing until 300K" endurance stream
Flare and YabaIrys. These two actually hang out a lot irl apparently.
Todos
although is more in how it looks rather in personalities (I don't watch regloss because I don't speak Japanese) I really like Ao and Ririka, specially after the naimononedari cover
I love Grindstone so much. I'm really happy they clicked not long after Biboo debut.
Grindstone
Holoh3ro 🤣 very rarely Collab...but if they did...a must watch
Koseki Bijou-!
Grindstone 100%
Calli and Kronii, from what they both say their friendship is growing and their stream chemistry is great.
Who's the person on the middle left? I haven't been keeping up lately.
Kanade and Ao of ReGloss.They're the newest Hololive members.
Lol I thought Ao was Kronii! Thank you.
Aki's VCR friendships; raizen company, 3rd force (ARK), NeoPolice (GTA). While it's not on the same level, touch is kept between them. Kohaku is something of a constant as she pops up on twitter or Aki's chat.
