Thank you ironmouse for serenading us tonight.
It was honestly a PLEASURE to run into you in Rust Isles and a Dream come true!
Also the map she made for us....
Today has been a heavy day in the VTuber sphere for so many of us.
Heartbreaking graduations, awful management situations, broken trust, stolen finances... the painful reality of what can happen behind the scenes with groups people believed in. If you're a talent / artist/ business or otherwise who got hurt today, or a fan watching someone you adore go through it, your feelings are valid. It's okay to be sad, angry, or just tired.
But I also want to remind everyone of something. This community was built by people who showed up for each other. That supported one another. That did provide real opportunities and real chances. Days like today hurt, but they also remind us why fighting for better standards, transparency, and accountability matters.
Check in on your oshis. Send them some love, drop by their next stream, or just remind them that they're valued. Check in on each other too. The artists, riggers, mods, business folk, merch team, and everyone working tirelessly behind the curtain to keep this scene alive. And most importantly, check in on yourself. Step away if you need to breathe, log off if you need space, and come back when you're ready.
Today was rough, but tomorrow is a fresh start.
Love you all, CypherKittens and everyone else reading this.
Be kind. 💜
