Farewell messages to Vesper Noir

JUICE MAN

Hey Gramps! I had no idea what I was in for when I started watching you around when you debuted as a Holostar. For a lot of my life, I never believed in myself because I rarely saw people who were like me being happy or making a positive impact on others. Soon, though, I realized you were just that. Not only did I love you for your authenticity, sense of humor, passion for your interests, and kindness, I saw a lot of myself in you, too. I saw you do ambitious things and that you were so loved and accepted by the Tempura and the boys. I realized that if you could do all that, that I could too, and that me believing in you means also believing in myself. I’ll never forget all the great times spent listening to you tell your wild stories, talking about PC parts and anime, playing fun games, flirting with evil robots, gelding, stealing pantsu, learning new things, committing to bits and even the time when you used my art as a thumbnail. I’m grateful to have spent this last year with you and the Vesties, so I hope whatever you’re off to next, it treats you just as well as you treated us. I’ll keep believing in myself, and I’ll certainly keep believing in you. No matter what crosses your path, you’ll always overcome it, or at least get a good stab in with the boar spear. Thanks for letting us be a part of this amazing chapter of your story!

I didn't really watch Vtubers. I pretty much only gave the Tempus debuts a try because they came up in a geeky general chat I was in and I was like: 'Huh, you know, most of the VTubers I've seen are ladies. Maybe the boys could use a little support.' You really were something else in your debut. Your story about the plastic ball resonated, and with each zatsudan, I wanted to spend more and more time watching. I didn't make every stream, but every stream I caught was a joy to witness. I really liked watching you grow more confident in collabs. The creative ways you tackled content. The way your laughter felt like a burst of warmth aimed right for my chest. And, as someone who is an anxious, introverted mess (and as someone who did similar things on a trip to Japan lol), seeing you succeed felt like a reminder that I could do more than I was trusting myself with. Seeing you put yourself out there felt like a perpetual challenge to do better myself and I hope that you know that, wherever you are now, what you did meant something. Changed something for the better for me and I'm sure many others. And I want to thank you for that. [...] Even if it was short, I want to thank you for the time you gave us. I hope you're happy and healthy where you are now.

I really don't have much to say, so I'll keep this simple: I just want you to know, you'll always be a part of the boys.
