Lori Cottontail was a virtual streamer, online performer, and digital entertainer known for her unsettlingly cute bunny-themed avatar, cryptic storytelling segments, and a growing cult following surrounding her increasingly disturbing content. Though she originally gained attention for lighthearted variety streams and ASMR, her fanbase quickly became fixated on the darker narratives and horror roleplay arcs embedded in her work.
Early Career[edit]
Lori debuted on April 9, 2022, as a part of the satirical virtual talent agency VeeTide Agency, which later revealed itself to be a lore-based project rather than a functioning company. Her model—an albino rabbit girl with glowing red eyes and subtle stitched scars—was designed by indie artist @ghostbun and rigged for high expression tracking.
Her early content included gaming streams, whisper ASMR, and weekly "Cottontail Confessionals" where she read fan-submitted secrets. Her tone shifted dramatically in late 2023, with more streams beginning at 3:33 AM, cryptic audio distortions, and unsettling storytime sessions that blurred the line between fiction and personal experience.
Rise in Popularity[edit]
In mid-2023, Lori's popularity surged following the viral spread of a clip titled "She Knows You're Watching," where her avatar appeared to break the fourth wall mid-sentence and reference details never mentioned on stream. Fans speculated she was using a combination of AI and pre-recorded segments, while others believed the clips were being manipulated post-broadcast.
Her fanbase, self-named the **Burrow**, became known for their obsessive theorizing and dedication to cataloging Lori’s lore, including timestamps of her erratic behaviors and rumored coded messages in her background music.
Disappearance[edit]
On July 12, 2024, Lori's social accounts, stream schedule, and Discord presence went silent. No official statement was issued. A now-deleted post from an alleged friend claimed Lori "finally blocked all of them," followed by the phrase, "The rabbits dig down, not up."
Shortly afterward, rumors emerged from members of the Burrow claiming to have received private DMs linking to unlisted videos, one of which—titled [Tight Spaces. No Exit.]—appeared to show live-action footage filmed in a confined, cell-like space with muffled breathing and rhythmic knocking.
Lori has not streamed or made any online appearance since.
Fan Theories[edit]
Several theories surround Lori’s disappearance:
- ARG Exit Theory: Lori's disappearance was a planned end to an elaborate alternate reality game (ARG).
- Stalker Infiltration Theory: A persistent stalker had infiltrated her fan community and may have forced her into hiding or worse.
- Fictional Character Theory: Some believe Lori was never real to begin with, and her presence was fully AI-generated, explaining the increasingly surreal content and vanishing act.
Legacy[edit]
Despite her short career, Lori Cottontail has left a lasting mark on horror Vtubing culture. Numerous fan projects, tribute streams, and even a short documentary titled *Buried in Broadcast* have emerged in her absence. Fan archives like the Lori Vault preserve her stream data, chat logs, and submitted "Confessionals."
