hello
Quite a lot of singing in the next few days of Hololive. Nene and Suisei 3D karaoke. Holostars 2nd Anniversary concert. Marine and Noel 1 million sub celebration. Calliope unarchived karaoke. Sora and Azki karaoke.

But first is Patra and Flare's 3D collab coming up in about an hour and a half. It's on Patra's channel so it's not going to show up on the Hololive schedule.

FYI for anybody who follows space Luna: She's cancelling all her remaining streams this week except the 8-person L4D2 collab. She had to put down a pet yesterday and is just not feeling like she can put on the act for it. She'll be back to smiles and silliness next week.

That sucks but I totally understand. She should take the time she needs, us viewers will all be there for her when she comes back.

It's basically a microcosm of youtube and internet content creators in general. You'll have the top whatever % who find that this is something that they can and are happy making a living off of.

But the greater majority will either never get a reasonable following and quit, run out of inspiration for content or just plain move on and do something else with their life. It's not really anything unique, it just really hurts because these are the people that we've gotten invested in over the last few years and losing something that's become a part of your daily life will always feel really bad.

One of the streamers that I've followed for years recently stopped streaming altogether, and only makes pre-recorded videos on Youtube now. There was a big ol' thing that broke the camel's back, but he was definitely already burnt out cause he'd been streaming for 4 hours a night for ten goddamn years.

Since stopping streaming, he says he's been able to focus more on his own life, especially things that he's neglected for all that time, and by all accounts he's a lot happier now.

The reality is that streaming is a creative endeavor and it is supplied by a creative battery, and there is no such thing as a limitless creative battery that never needs to be recharged. It is bizarre to think of a streamer being able to churn out creative content for years on end because it's absolutely impossible for a single individual to have that much new poo poo to bring to the table.

Everything ends eventually. Authors get writer's block. Musicians take breaks. Artists retire. Streamers quit. Creativity is a well you draw from and the well inevitably runs dry. That's just how creativity works.

Yeah, going to be a pretty intense couple of days in the 'tuber verse there. I kind of feared that announcement was coming as soon as I saw that stream with the big "Thank youuuuuu" in the title and that thumbnail. Amongst other things her and Lize's radio show announced it was ending fairly suddenly not long ago which Lize was pretty emotional about considering shows start and end all the time, so while I don't care at all for graduation speculation until it's announced, there's been kind of a collective sinking feeling of "this could be it" for a bit now.

At any rate she'll have more details about it on the 30th so I wouldn't necessarily go on any big speculation spree about the why of it until then, just gotta cheer her on with the new Ghouls 'n Ghosts she still plans to work her way through before then.

It's kind of interesting that every single one of Nijisanji's OG vtubers from the first two waves are still there over 3 years later, I don't know what kind of blood contracts they signed but all 16 of them from Mito to Kazaki are still around (even if some like Gilzaren kind of stretch the definition of "being around").

Speaking of 3 years, Dola had a new outfit reveal stream for her 3-year celebration at the same time with Lulu's stream and it's still going on right now provided that Youtube stops giving her a hard time.

Yeah for example - the consistency of Shizuka Rin's output is amazing. She must really like doing this.

These graduations have taught me to really appreciate my favorite vtubers while they're still around. These careers are hard and draining and for many just a temporary stop on the way to something better. While I don't see people like Sora, Fubuki, Nyanners, or Ironmouse going anywhere anytime soon (all for different reasons), you still never really know.

I think Rin just really likes playing games and the streaming part is incidental because she enjoys interacting with her chat. Some vtubers put in a ton of effort to create and hold on to an audience in all kinds of creative ways, meanwhile with Rin people literally rely on a fanmade twitter bot to know when she's even streaming because she sure doesn't announce them most of the time. She just starts out of nowhere and then plays FF14 for ten hours or something, it's a level of having transcended giving a drat that I can respect.

Also NijiEN will also be at the Anime Expo event.
