February 2026's VIP Theme: Vtubers! (Candidates Selection Step)

So we're finally at this time, once again!

The theme for our VIP Poll this time will be, as the great majority requested: "Vtubers!"

However, given a combination of factors (namely me knowing jack and/or shit about most of the "Vtuber scene" AND the fact that, models aside, there are... You know, actual people we're talking about behind the models), I'll delineate the rules for viable candidate selections down below. Please try to follow them. Some are mandatory, some are preferential, but the closer you stick to them, the closer your odds are to get at least one of your suggestions on the final 5-way poll.

HERE BE THE RULES:

MANDATORY (suggestions that fall outside of these will be rejected):

• The content creator behind the model must be verifiably or otherwise evidently and publicly established to be of age (+18).

• The model must be reasonably adult-coded (aka: no loli-adjacent vibes or the like).

• There must be at least some reasonable way to determine the creator in question is ok with/happy with having +18 fanart made off their model.

PREFERABLE (suggestions that fall outside of these might be lower in priority):

• The creator being openly approving of this type of derivative work being made out of their model/giving explicit permission publicly is a plus (otherwise I'll have to go around asking privately via DMs, which can easily have variable results and delay things a fair bit).

• In case the rule above applies, some way to determine their do's and don't-s would also be a notch in their favor (even though I'm not really known for too niche kink-farming and stuff, but just in case).

BASICS (just how to format your suggestions):

• You can suggest/propose as many Vtubers as you want, there's no suggestion limit per person. You can even postulate yourself if you want, if you're a Vtuber and like the idea (just keep in mind: nobody is assured to win).

• Any degrees of fame/recognition are acceptable (I'll try to balance my choices if possible, though. The best polls are the ones where anyone has a shot, after all).

• I'll pick up to 5 from all proposed candidates. Those 5 will then move on to duke it out on the final, Gold & Silver Patreon-exclusive poll for a week. Whomever collects the most votes from both tiers will be our chosen winner!

• Finally, all of the up to 5 chosen creators will be set on the final contestant's card as the polls open! If any of them wants their participation be removed, that will be respected, no questions asked. We'll pick one or whomever many other candidates on the list have been suggested until we settle on a group that's a-ok with participating (Polls and voting time allowances will be extended acordingly if this happens).

I realize I'm being a bit more granular with our rules this time around, but I think the extra attention to doing things right is merited, what with our candidates being actual personalities and not just fiction this time around and whatnot.

In any case! We'll keep the suggestions window here open till the 10th of February. All suggestions in all my socials (Patreon, Twitter, Bluesky, etc) will count till then.

LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT!!!

Fate out!!!
