After weeks away, I was terrified I’d come back to a community that had moved on. I moved from the US to the EU and was almost completely offline from Aug 24 to Oct 2. The move was brutal: two lost apartments (one involving a scam that cost us thousands), a month in a tiny hotel with my husband and dogs, and the stress of finding a home that would take our corgis. My anxiety and depression hit an all-time high. I isolated myself - even from people I love - and focused on preparing for Curse Clash and finding housing. But while I was gone, my moderators kept our Discord alive with events, conversation, and so much care. When I returned, familiar names were there cheering me on, asking how I was, and listening to everything I’d been through. Friends raided in to tell me they missed me. You gave me time and space, then welcomed me home. Building this community and making these friendships are the greatest achievements of my VTuber career. To my friends, my incredible mods, and my chaotic, kind community: THANK YOU. 🩵 I feel whole again. I’ve got a lot in the works, and I can’t wait to give back to the people who keep inspiring me. 💪
