Haha nice to see you again, Sage. I’ve been feeling more at peace these last few weeks, let me tell ya.
If I had to guess what exactly happened to Frivvi, I'm sure there's parts of the story we'll never get to fully know. There started to be a noticeable decline after maybe 2019? I think she might have been in Southern California until she moved to Colorado in 2021; all of those meet-and-greets, livestreams, collabs with other popular asmrtists, quickly disappeared, either because she felt the need to distance herself from where she grew up, or maybe all of those people become disillusioned with her personality, and while they still maintain professional friendliness, nobody really wants to interact with Frivvi anymore. I'm sure Frivvi does not actively pursue collabs or high-quality activities for streams, either. I'm sure she made most of her money already and is just cozying up with a man who's willing to put up with her.
Mentally, I also think she's drained. The past ten years have not been kind to her. If I had to guess, she was probably very close with her family before she started to platform herself publicly as a coping mechanism for the accident. There's a lot of Facebook history prior to the accident that shows she had a far more social and active relation with the family - but if you look at her sister's wedding photos from a few years ago Lauren is nowhere to be seen. I think she comes from a lot of conservative folks, so she probably carries resentment there and feels the need to be farther away. Physically, she also mentions having hormonal issues, losing hair and who knows what else. And approaching 30 with no foreseeable trajectory beyond this ASMR channel, despite being generally well off, probably scares her to just being a bore and lounging around the house all day. I don't even think she does soccer anymore because all of that drama she talked about.
Look at how Gibi and Glow are doing too. Gibi seems okay, I mean she's so corporate it's hard to really know what's going on, but we know she's "trying" for a baby. And Glow's neuroticism with her writing career that she probably knows won't go anywhere, and that awful kids channel. I mean, we should just be happy Frivvi is still willing to cater to her audience, even though the spirit from her early 20s is mostly gone. I tend to believe women hit a "wall" in the 30s that resembles a man's "midlife crisis" in the 50s. That's why depression rates for women are the highest in modern history - because child making has become too costly and difficult.
To be completely honest, I don't think it's as dramatic of a decline as you make it out to be. I think she's always been a sad girl, who has to face the cruel reality of once being that glowing sunshine of youth that she was growing up, being torn away from her as her lesbian experiment came to a tragic end. Even on early streams, she had so much energy and "frivolous" nature, because she knew looking inside of herself would be painful. And all of those early watchers and fans, enabled her to carry these delusional behaviors. And now, as a woman almost thirty who has even called herself "washed up" in a video, she'd much prefer to just be a cat lady with a codependent husband. Tyler doesn't seem like a super interesting or dynamic guy either, I'm sure that's for a reason. He lets Frivvi mess with him and he probably secretly enjoys it, too.
At the end of the day, Frivvi's sad life is her fault. All of the fans and enablers allowed it to persist, but as she continues to get older and older, and her fanbase shrinks and shrinks...she'll slowly fade away from the digital world for one reason or another. And we will all move on to the next softcore phenom.
It was a good run. Young Frivvi was a beautiful sight to behold. What a shame.
