super late but.... offkai post!
it's hard to put my feelings into words but i hope what i'm writing can capture even just a bit of how i feel!
where do i even start.... we had a huge concert.... lots of fan merch.... performances... meet & greets..... fan meets.... a renban.... literally everyone knowing who i was??? telling me they loved my streams??? ME?? it's all so incredible... so let me start by thanking everyone!! โจ
thank you to all the fan artists who made merch of me and my genmates! from last offkai (zero merch) to this offkai (LOTS OF MERCH!! over 10 booths!!) i really felt so loved and enjoyed being able to buy merch with everyone's cool and cute art styles... thank you.... ๐ญ
beeeg thank you to moso & matcha for giving me the opportunity to perform on sunday! ๐ค while i'm not the best, singing for everyone is truly my passion and why i love doing this!! seeing you guys cheer so loud and call my name makes me want to aggressively squish you all into mashed potatoes and throw you at a wall...aaaaAAAAA!!! ๐ฅ
thank you to my genmates @MaeFae & @LanPhilia for being my bestest ever friends ๐ญ sleeping together, getting ready together, eating breakfast together, laughing together, singing together... it really is a dream come true... i feel so powerful with the two of you by my side! i can't wait for us to do more things this year together ๐ฅน
thank you to @YoeiKacho for working tirelessly around the clock for us! this year we got to have a concert!!! despite clashing with another huge concert, we pretty much filled the room!!! INSANE!!!! our booth was so fun and i hope everyone enjoyed our matsuri!! sorry for teasing you about the fansly and tenga placements.....๐
last but not least, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to all my chips ๐งโโ๏ธ
seeing my chips show up for me time and time again is something i'll never stop being amazed by... the fact that such amazing, funny and interesting people choose to watch and support me??? this british hacking phish??? cosplaying as me, doing wotagei to my original song, sticking my face on the texan flag (lol), all the trader joe's sardine bags, coming to my performances and M&Gs, all your carefully thought out gifts, all your LOVE! it feels surreal to be loved by so many, and even now, it's not something i can truly internalise...
the chips are the sweetest, cutest, smartest, kindest and most loving people in the whole wide ocean! thank you for choosing to love and support me...! thank you for motivating this lil phih to achieve her big dreams!!!
W chips!!! ๐๐๐๐

SURGE!!! is finally here to EVERYONE!
Raki and I are so happy for you all to watch what we have worked so hard on for so long now! ๐ฉต
Thank you for believing in me ๐ฉต๐ I may be a big fearsome fish kaiju but I really like to sing & dance too! ๐
I made a sprite of a standard Rucruit in an SFC-era SMT-adjacent style to show Ruvii at her MnG at OffKai! Knowing that they can be customized in a lot of ways, you can bet I'll be making one for myself!
Hope you liked it, Commander!

@KyuruRinSama Ending off offkai, I got to meet up with a bunch of Debudachis and Gao!!! They were all super chill and nowhere near as intimidating as I once thought. Also through some shenanigans I nabbed a cutout!!! With her now safely in my humble abode #gaoART
Seeing as how I felt this was my best Offkai yet, I wanted to compile some of my thoughts and experiences. Meeting so many vtubers that I've been fans of along with dozens of fans I've either spoken to or seen online gave me an incredible time... #offkaigen5
@KyuruRinSama I won't deny it was a lil daunting bringing myself to talk to all of Wota at once, but they were all nice! Glad me and a friend were able to win Nowi and we got her home safely! Congrats on the three of your debuts!!! #Wotaillusion#FuruyukiFio#nowikaijumaru#Patchumi
i have gotten lots of messages saying that raki and i's SURGE!!! has inspired them to do similar and are really motivated chase their dreams ; __ ; its such a wonderful, fluttery feeling....
it's absolutely possible!!! you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to if you're passionate enough! ๐๐ซถ take it from us!!!!! two little indies who wanted to do something we've never done before!
i will ALWAYS root for those who unabashedly chase their dreams and goals. this life is short!!! go for those dreams!!! you can start anytime!!! ๐ i have your back!
limited time fanmade surge merch on my acggoods! sale ends august 25th (11:59 CST).
