After 2+ years I've finally decided to embrace the weaboo and start doing Japanese reps. What are the best resources online to start learning, specifically for vocabulary since that's what I'm focusing on first? And which chuubas are easy to listen and understand for a beginner? Hololive preferred because I am a faggot, but I assume watching bilinguals would help a lot in this regard? I've also got my JP oshis Lui and Nene who I've already started watching live more often.

I only have this advice: immerse yourself in Japanese shit. Streams, games, anime, social media. Look up words you don't recognise. Video game streams are the easiest to follow, because the only context is the game. Zatsudans are harder because the topics may vary a lot. A collab with multiple chuubas is very hard mode, unless they're playing a horror game and just screaming a lot.

I've enjoyed using wanikani a lot for vocab/kanji.
For hiragana/katakana use the tofugu guides (just google them). They use mnemonics and it seems stupid at first but god damn does it work. I was able to memorize both sets in an hour each.

if you listen to weeb music then memorize a bunch of song lyrics, there are so many words I somehow know and understand from song lyrics without ever properly learning what they mean

The only thing I can tell you is to read as much possible. It's fucking terrible at first but the more you do it the quicker it will become automatic. Tadoku has plenty of free graded readers starting from Level 0 to Level 5. Try reading those first. Afterwards, move on to native material.

I'd also recommend finding books that have audiobooks so you can listen and read at the same time (and if you're crazy like me you can rip the sentences from the audiobook and put them into an anki deck for review later.)

I've heard people say Shion should be the easist chuuba to understand because she's a high school drop out.

I'd also recommend listening to podcasts for learners like Learn Japanese with Noriko and Nihongo Switch. Oh, and a great teacher for grammar is Japanese Ammo with Misa. She goes very in depth. And most importantly, HAVE FUN.
