So yeah, updates got slow for some time cus during Christmas I took a break to enjoy the holidays and then after new year a small hint of procrastination began to corrupt my stupid baby brain. During that time whenever I thought of "I'll continue writing now..." I stopped. Why?

          	Ahem, anyway. Yeah, I'll be getting back into my consistently as best as I can because I'll be honest, I enjoy writing the Fuwamoco story more than I do the Mumei story at the moment.

But I noticed that my motivation and excitement had different peaks when writing "Brother Abyssguard" than it did for "Waning from The Nothing."

Ngl The FWMC has a more chill vibe so to me it is also more enjoyable to read and Mumei fic is lot more heavy and serious.

What do you think about the new world of honkai starrail?

@ThePotat420 I don't like it at all either, to be honest.

@I_Love_You_Firefly The place itself is absolutely gorgeous, aesthetic wise it might be my favorite world. Story in itself was good but the story *telling* was poorly executed, it got tiring fast and my enjoyment got hurt by the repetitive gameplay but in the end it was good.

@Kiirio Yup! I was there for most of the beginning but it was pretty late on my end so I couldn't stay for the whole steam.

Hope you're doing well, my guy. Fauna's graduation hit us all pretty hard, I've been a fan of Hololive since 2019 and they've  helped  get me through each  day because everyone is so goofy and they make everyone smile with their music. Faunawell Fauna, you'll be truly missed.

Faunawell. We've reached the end of an Era.

@ThePotat420 I was literally crying on her stream. It got the attention of my dorm mates and they thought my girlfriend broke up with me even though I don't have one...

@ThePotat420 Faunwell. You know her graduation stream ended before I woke up that day, really made me experience the feeling of "you can sleep while they're around, but they could be gone when you wake up".
            But at least now every time I walk through my neighbourhood's park I'm a little more grateful for all the life I see around me. For being the inspiration that created Ceres Fauna. I like to think she's there accompanying me on my walks or motivating me on my outdoor workouts. Through the sights, the smells, and the sounds of nature. Ceres Fauna will always be there for us saplings, for as long as nature still exists on this planet, or on any other planet in space.

So I guess it's my turn to talk about it.
          
          I mean it's not really an obligation but I've just been feeling pathetic ever since Fauna's announcement. It's just been one shoot down after another and it's really been tanking my dedication to write as of late. Fauna is a pillar to the community, more personally to me as much as Ame was. She's unique and irreplaceable and such a huge factor and yet, now with Chloe she's taking her step down but unlike her she's not keeping connections.
          
          And I know, I get it, she's going back to her "roots" and everyone knows where to look but to me that doesn't change the fact that "Ceres Fauna" is leaving. She was still a significant character that made this community so enjoyable to be around. Now it's only what's left of Promise and Ollie that keep me intact and now I'm so paranoid over everything that I worry they'll be gone soon.
          
          I want to honor Fauna, I already had a book ready for hers to start once I finished working on the two that are already out but now I don't know.

@ThePotat420 Hey, at the end of the day it's fine to feel sad or generally just negative about something as big as this, the recent graduation wave we're getting hit by is pretty insane as a whole, if you look at prior years where we lost 0-2 members at most generally speaking, one thing we should be happy about is... Cover is still cover, I think Yagoo mentioned it, but it was either sell the company entirely or compromise like this, so this is... better than nothing !
            But that doesn't mean we should be super happy about it or cheer for what it is, things will change, for better or worse, mostly the latter so far, but after the rain there's sunshine isn't it ?
            I'm sure you'll do her a big honor with your work, even if she doesn't see it or ever will, you're doing something great, good luck bro, you got this !

It felt only slightly reassuring that those who still stay mentioned they are still ok, but now I'm worried for them that if more people keep leaving because of management that means it's more work for them to maintain Cover's revenue. And for Fauna to choose to just straight up graduate -- not even become an affiliate -- despite how much she wanted to stay because streaming and being an idol is still her dream, this is definitely a time of uncertainty and anxiousness for everyone.

@ThePotat420 I feel you. I watched a video as well recently that Regis Altare also said that Cover itself is really in a bad place right now and that he mentioned he could do better than them which kinda hints a graduation? Hopefully, that isn't the case. He sounded pretty mad too but composed himself pretty well. What makes me glad is that idols can be transparent about the issue to an extent but still be mature about it. But it's still saddening some of the pillars are leaving because of poor management. I've just been watching other vtubers to kind of just try to get over it and think it is what it is. I stumbled upon Cypress Ch. really funny person and made the news bearable by reacting to memes, so just grateful we can find other ways to cheer ourselves up.
