The act of loving the VTuber Amelia Watson unconditionally while fully knowing that a realistic romantic relationship with her is unattainable.

A Gosling is in a parasocial relationship. No matter how much they love her, she'll always be just a girl on a screen.
Symptoms are: Feeling of emptiness, loneliness, fear, emotional stress and pain.

The term Gosling is based on the fact that the actor Ryan Gosling played characters that had parasocial relationships, such as Lars, from Lars and the Real Girl and K from Blade Runner 2049.

There's a second term called Goslingposting, where Goslings post gifs from Blade Runner 2049 to depict the feelings they're currently having.

The term can also be applied to other VTubers.
