I fill the void with vampire pomu Kou Mariya

>>67152669
I will fill the void inside her womb

>>67152669
Cute!

>>67152551
Hibernate, and belieb
She will rise from the grave... eventually

>>67153672
I dont know how long I can hibernate.... im not built for this

>>67152551
Take a break/rest kid and wait for her. She will be back. She still wants to do so much to just retire.

>>67152551
I'm just gonna take a break from vtubers until she comes back.
No one is really quite like Pomu. Though if you want some recs of otherwise good vtubers there's Amiya from ex-Tsunderia, Tenma from Phase Connect, and wwParasi on Twitch.

>>67155049
If she's going to Hololive, you might be waiting a long while.
If it's VShojo...Probably a month? 3 at most?
If she's going indie again, it depends on her entirely.

>>67155695
Give her time. Shes been through so much shit. I want her to recharge. To be fair tho not jna returned in less than 2 months and is now tripling her numbers and far more happier on her streams

>>67156034
It's hard because I started getting into her again and now she's gone. But like you said, she likely needs to the rest after the years of bullshit she's had to endure.

>>67155263
those are all shit vtubers anon

>>67157445
I might, wounds still a bit fresh. Plus I just caught up with some of the metal gear streams I missed. I felt like the MGSV was the perfect playthrough to finish on.
But there are a lot of membership streams I missed over the past year so i'll think about it.

>>67152551

It will not feel the same, but it will do the same thing. Keep you glued down to a screen.

Radical option is to graduate yourselves. This option I want to do, and I encourage you all to do the same.
(I do not mean suicide. Pomu isn't dead. I mean moving on with your life and finding friends out there). Good luck to any that try this.

>>67152551
I still have Mr Koro and FWMC, so I'm good until Pomu comes back.

The ruffian fanbase is for better or worse a refugee camp of chumbuds, saplings, kronies, and fans who stopped watching vtubers awhile back until they debuted. I wouldn't be surprised if a number of Pomudachis joined as well in watching Fuwamoco.

Realistically though, Pomu seems like she'll come back at some point, but who knows.

>>67157084
I won't allow any slander against my girl Amiya, you philistine.

>>67152551
If you can still stomach Niji, Vivi is a good girl and one of us. But i would understand quitting Niji cold turkey.
Ami is wonderful from another anon's rec.
I'll plug Pomu's fairy friend Maia. I've never been active in her community, only checking now and then mostly lurking, but they've always been really welcoming.

>>67152551
I'm so fucking stupid. In my depressed state I decided to rewatch the ending to the game Finding Paradise and now I'm even more depressed. Why did I do that...pomu fits perfectly into faye's character.
>has to leave you when you're young

>>67152551
Just go back to Hololive. That's where you all invaded from anyway.

>>67152551
You have 3 choices. Leave Vtubing and the hobby as a whole, wait for her return, or find a new oshi is a smaller corpo love her and be strong.

>>67152551
Rosemi is just as much of a goofball, even more than Pomu actually.

>>67155263

I don't see the appeal, her french accent gets old quickly.

>>67159841
Cutesemi tries to be too cute, gets kinda annoying

>>67152551
I would like to ask you guys something. I didn't watch Pomu, but seeing her graduate I felt very heavy hearted. Watching Pomu have her dreams shattered despite working her best hits so close to home. Is this some sort of "shared pain" experience?

I would appreciate your input as Pomudachi, thanks!

>>67152551
FuwaMoco. They aren't as open (yet?) about their passions as Pomu is but they have the same if not higher appreciation for Japanese media. From games, anime, visual novels, all the way to Akihabara and idols. They're veterans with huge power level who always try to stay positive and above all else, care about their fans to the fullest. They are professionals to the core and you can trust them they will avoid stepping into any sort of yab. I'm sure they will be able to cheer you up with the unique atmosphere of their streams.

However it's also fine to take this chance to get away from vtubers for a while and maybe focus on previously neglected hobbies or channel your sadness and frustrations into self-improvement. Take a walk, start working out, learn Japanese, so when Pomu comes back you will be ready for her as a better man.

>>67160404
She went from working a deadend wagie job to being a millionaire in only 2 years of working in Nijisanji. I don't think she's as "shattered" as you catalog tourists want her to be. She made the best of her situation in a flawed company, and is now moving on to do what she wanted after being set for life financially. I'm happy for her.

>>67152669
This is basically shilling, but her model is literally designed by Pomu's illustrator/"mama" because she's an autistic femudachi.

>>67160091
Doesn't act like stereotypical japanese woman, this offends weeaboos.

>>67160822
It helps that kujou ichiso keeps making the same goddamn adorable face for all the characters.

>to being a millionaire
777 can't deny how rich she is now then

>>67160962

Pomu

>>67160777
Just because she made a lot of money (i doubt she's a millionaire at all) doesn't mean she's happy. I know people that have made plenty of money and were essentially dead inside because of the work and people they were associated with. I do agree that she made the best of it, loved her fans, loved the people she worked with and even some of her managers, but if she wasn't that bothered by it, she wouldn't be leaving.

>>67159654
I really like how good natured she is, even when she's raging out

>>67161141
People can leave a job for various reasons. She never phrased it like she was unhappy with Nijisanji, that was just speculation from that members stream from May. Seemed a lot more like she felt she had outgrown Nijisanji and wanted a change in her life.

Also, regarding her income she made roughly $250,000 from superchats alone, $200,000 from memberships as a lowball estimate, and likely somewhere around $50,000-75,000 from streamlabs. All of these are after YT/Niji cuts. Add in merch and YT ad revenue and it's very easy to believe she made over $1,000,000 in 2 years.

>>67161141
Wow so your friend worked on epstein island?

>>67161605
She also had lots of expenses in that time.

>>67160725
Seconded.

>>67161605
There's no way she made over 500k from ad revenue and merch.

>>67160725
Fuwamoco is the obvious option, but they lack how personal Pomu could get sometimes when she talked with chat

Henya when she comes back next week!
I have no doubt in my mind that they will collab more after she returns.

>>67161644
She said herself she hardly ever spends money unless she's traveling. She went to Japan 4 times and Antarctica 1 time. She also released a few song covers and MV's but it was never an unreasonable amount by streamer standards. She lived with roommates for her whole time in Niji and never bought super expensive stuff except the Metal Gear Pachislot machine. She even had the same car from debut until graduation.

>>67161605
Well of course she's not going to phrase it like that because she's still under employment. Even when you're on your way out of a company and you hand in your notice, you leave in good terms. Even Mysta and Nina were the same. But let's not pretend and act like it was completely peaceful and it just so happened to be a simple creative clash. It's ALOT more than just the membership stream. You should know this.

>spoiler
Well it's all well and good making estimates based off superchats and merchandise sales we're not privy too but that doesn't remotely mean she's automatically a millionaire. That's not taking into account deductions, taxes, funding your own projects, flights, personal finances such as bills and rent, health insurance, savings, etc. This feels like a severely silly thing to debate.

I guess so, it is silly to debate but it's more just trying to make a point that she's very financially well off from being in Niji and has no reason to hold a grudge or be unhappy over her time there. It really was life-changing for her getting selected for Lazulight and she made sure to mention it all the time.

>>67162128
True, the actual worst things she paid for were $10,000 business-class tickets to Japan and the $5,000 she spent on a modded 3DS for streaming that ended up being a scam.

>>67152551
Vwhores like you deserve

>>67162222
I don't disagree and a lot of the 2% stuff is an exaggeration (still pretty bad) and I agree that this definitely has to be life changing considering what she was doing before.

>>67162145
I used to love Nina but for some reason I can't really get into Matara, really hoping that doesn't happen with Pomu if and when she reincarnates

>>67161609
Well that was a conversation switch but no. My ex-workmate used to work in high end real estate sales and all he said was that there were very bad people he had to work with. He literally took a less paying job just to escape.

>>67161760
I can feel this gap too, they are cool and all, but there's this huge ravine between them and the ruffians.

>>67162630
Got to give them time. It's still early for them. They'll open up more eventually. It took time with Pomu too but to a lesser extent.

>>67162732
I think Pomu was already parasocial in her first week. She was on the verge of tears just playing Zelda and begging for backseaters to solve the puzzles for her. That's part of what made me fall for her she just had no wall between her and her community.

>>67161958
>>67162222
>woman spends all her money on vacations and is now broke
Yeah but that's all women. LOL.

>>67162732
>Got to give them time. It's still early for them.
It's not about time, it's just their style. They keep each other in check all the time to not slip off from their "characters", so they don't have a real chance to get close with chat. I personally think it's cool.

>>67162732
Yeah, not criticising them, they are too concerned with things going south and that's why they are so careful.

>>67162845
I don't disagree. She was the most parasocial from the beginning even to the end. Even when I fell off from her last year, I never had the fear that she was going to have "the talk" moment.

>>67162880
I guess what i'm trying to say is that they show their closeness differently. While they're mostly always in kayfabe, their love for Ruffians is still very real. Though it's funny how similar Pomu and the two actually are. Maybe not in personality but hobbies and interests. I had a whiplash yesterday when she started gushing about Mr.Donut and Pon de Ring

>>67162989
It's a price that needs to be paid to remain yab free. Never one guy'd, never baited, flawlessly omitting potentially dangerous parts of supas. I miss Pomu's direct approach but this carefully crafted perfectly safe environment has a lot of appeal too.

>>67152551
I thought about becoming a Famelira, but I don't want to feel the same that I felt for Pomu with another chuuba. I'm calling quits both from this board and from vtubers until she comes back.
See ya niggers!

>>67163345
Pomu was direct and sometimes it irritated me but it was never bad to the point where she said something outrageously stupid. There was never a "PARASOCIAL FUCKS" moment. Like in the quest to shut down one person, it ends up hurting others in the process.

>>67155695
Stop trying to shove her in Hololive

>>67163563
Yeah, it's seriously impressive she managed to avoid similar situations while plenty of others were falling.

>>67163624
It's because Pomu has real previous working experience and doesn't take anything for granted. She is prime HoloJP material.

>>67152669
It's like she's perfectly positioned to take in both Pomu's and Mel's orphans.

>>67163563
Because Pomu is a true idol otaku and understands the feelings of her fans. She never wanted to have distance between her and her community since she just saw herself as another fan. She did have a few talks about how dating bans for idols are stupid, but she was never projecting those feelings onto her community. On the contrary she often had parasocial jokes like demanding they can't watch any other streamers and shaming people she saw in someone else's chat. Of course it was all just tongue in cheek, but that just shows that she understands what her community wants since she was in the same position as a fan before. She never acted patronizing or put vtubers on a pedestal above the fans, and I love her for it.

>>67163586
Go mating press a cactus.

>>67163624
There were definitely moments I was scared she was going to but she never did lmao.

>>67163803
I think the thing about the idol dating thing is that while she said that about idols, she never said it about vtubers and especially not herself.
Of course, catalogshitters took that and ran with it and now you have that one guy talking about Luca's cock nonstop or whatever but it's like you said, she always got it. Though not surprising considering she was a fan of vtubers long before coming into the company.

>>67164057
Her point about idol dating bans is that the person's private life and their character are separate. It doesn't matter if your oshi is dating someone because when they're on stage they're performing for (You). True idolfags understand this, they love idols for the smiles they bring and not because they want to have sex with them. Vtubers are the same; I never once considered whether Pomu might be dating someone or not because she simply never brought it up on stream and always made her fans a priority in her content. That was good enough for me, simply making her fans feel important and valued is better than superficially lying to them.

Would the AC6 arc have been any better if Pomu wasn't already soul raped by management?

>>67162222
what was her 3ds setup in the end? a 3ds capture card seems like something a japanese company would nix

>>67164454
NijiJPs have been using 3DS with hardware capture cards for years. Whatever deal Any color has with Nintendo seems to have them approved.

desu NijiEn is a bubble. people who don't like Niji aren't gonna give them a chance. meanwhile just being on Twitch guarantees you'll inevitably be exposed to vshojo because other vtubers raid into them all the time. the visibility that gave her is a huge advantage over her former coworkers who receive zero raids or exposure from anyone outside the Niji box.

>>67165475
>picrel

>>67165640
I'm so happy they never gave up.

>>67165640
Happy they are doing good. I 'member when GGN came out. Never knew about the 2 as vtubers tho til their fans popped off for them /here/

>>67164748
Do you remember when is she supposed to have the stream in Japan where she'll be visited by currently unnamed friend? It's pretty obvious it's gonna be either Pomu or Mika (or both).

>>67165090
To be fair twitch counts numbers differently from YouTube but it's quite clear her viewership has increased and it's a healthier fanbase too. I know a guy who was briefly checking her out as Nina but started religiously watching her now as Matara. I never watched Nina but tune in to Matara every now and then.

>>67165545
She uses the model really well too with all the movements.

>>67165893

Stfu you uncultured mongral,Ami is God tier and inclining at a rapid pace, soon all will know of her greatness.

>>67165090
What this anon said >>67165209 + VShojo's culture is very fucking different from Nijis. Because NijiEN has so many people and keeps introducing more your first impression matters a whole fucklot and if you don't make a splash immediately you're probably settling into mediocrity. You're competing against like 30 other people if you debut now, and if you debuted early like when Nina did, then you were competing against more and more people as more were regularly added By contrast VShojo's stuck at a steady 11 people even if the means through which this was achieved are hilarious and when they debut someone it's a single person at a time so there's time for the audience to adjust and grow and there's very little cannibalization of one another's audiences. When Mata debuted I was worried she or Henya would suffer because they chose literally the exact same timeslot, but Mata just materialized a couple extra thousand viewers out of nowhere and Henya stayed steady the whole time.

tl;dr NijiEN can be a bit of a meat grinder at times while VShojo takes things slower. Too slow imo, but the streamers themselves have benefited from how slow they move.

>>67157084
You've clearly never watched Ami

>>67152551
I'm waiting. This void can't be filled by anyone other than her. I can't even open YT without starting to tear up seeing all the clips of her graduation and now dramafags going through her member vods and miliking them dry for views. Watching any other chuuba isn't fun like it was back before all this, now it's feels like a cheap dopamine hit that makes me feels worse afterwards.
I'll stay lurking on /vt/ to see if any updates come in but if Pomu decides that she's done with vtubing by either radio silence for like a year or outright saying it's over on her PL, then I'll stop watching vtubers and purge them off my recommendations.
I never want to be in this position again where the things I love are ripped out of my hands and I'm forced to just watch because I can't do anything about it.

>>67171050
I feel the same way
Its stupid but this has really changed my perspective on life. Obviously it sucks that there’s nothing we can do to stop her leaving, but everything has to end, and theres almost nothing we can do about anything.
Maybe Im just depressed now

>>67164367
Honestly from a new pomudachis perspective. I saw that she was streaming AC6 and got pretty excited since I finished her MGS series, but there wasn't any love or passion in it. It felt clearly by episode 2 she was sort of stuck in it and told that she had to stream the entire thing which I thought it was weird. The vibe I got from her play through made me drop it cause I don't think she jived with flying and thought she could easily do something else. But she mentioned at one time she HAD to play through it or something somewhere. Confused the fuck out of me.

>>67171050
Take a vacation away from /vt/. I haven't fallen into any parasocial honeytraps but I've done something worst and that's lurk here everyday. Place is a shit hole a good 6 month break away from here will allow you to re-evaluate how much attention you should give places like these. It's a huge fucking time waster exactly the same as tik tok, social media apps. You won't die if you don't have human connection away from a cesspool. The way Pomu got treated on her graduation here disappointmented me immensely and I'm a Phase fan. Mika had a better farewell in comparison, too much trolling and bullshit for the Pomudachi's to go through.

Well guys, this is it. This is the end.
I'm... I'm not Pomu.
I'm free.

I'M FREE!

>>67176453
it's because pomudachis kept begging her to play AC6 especially this one autistic guy that kept sending her blue superchats for weeks begging for AC6 and even up to her graduation kept sending supers talking about her AC6 streams. she just felt really loyal to her community, no one was actually forcing her to play it.

Pomu never left, for I am Pomu!

>>67177031
Ahh ok. It's just with the highs the music brings her mood was pretty low at times but hopefully the game helped her de stress.

I know how you feel, anon. It's not easy. I only discovered Pomu after her graduation announcement. I'm typically just a clipfaggot, but got drawn in to Pomu for these last two weeks and... Now, it hurts. That little goddamned fairy believed in what she was doing with everything, and, despite my best efforts, for two weeks... Made me feel like maybe I could believe too.

Some souls are meant to spend a lifetime together. But sometimes, other souls are only meant to visit, and then they're gone. Both can change a life forever.

No one will replace pomu. I'm still watching the other girls I watched though.

It's weird that she doesn't have a "roommate" (as far as I know), if she don't come back as either Hololive or Vshojo I don't think people will easily find her.

>>67152551

The only way she doesn't come back is if something happens irl that prevents her from being able to do so.

>>67152551
Don't worry anon, she'll be back If not as a maid then as a dwarf

>>67192941
She's very private by the standards of 2024. It's no surprise that the hardest doxx ever dropped of her was from when she was a teen.

>>67192941
she has two roommate accounts but she doesn't post selfies on them so there's nothing to doxx. she's good at opsec.

>>67183778
Sadly she was completely ruined once Luca came into the picture. Sad, she could have been a good vtuber if it wasn't for that.

>>67152551
I've only watched one stream, her FEAR finale, so I know nothing about her and only have a vague understanding of the circumstances of her graduation.
However the scattered mentions of "hololive next" makes me wonder how viable that option actually appears to those who know her better? Are people just maymaying? I was under the impression that, for someone like Pomu, jumping into hololive isn't so attractive a prospect considering she'd have to wait minimum 1 year before she could get 3D etc. Considering how long she's been at this already, would she want to wait longer, even if it is assured at some point? Didn't the guy that jumped to vshojo get a 3d model within a month or two?

Mind you if you're into that kind of stuff, getting into holo means being able to perform with the others in idol things like Fes etc. I've seen scattered accounts that Pomu's an idol fag(?), and for that holo is basically the only relevant name in town.
What do her fans think is her most viable course of action?
What do you think she wants to do?
What is (you)r most preferred course of action she should take?

>>67162553
I'm sorry, but there is no fixing your retardation

>>67197097
Pomu is an idolfag, but she doesn't want to be an idol.
She likes singing idol songs, but only for fun and doesn't want to take it seriously.
She wants to cheer for idols and enjoy idols, but not be one herself.
If she applied to Hololive, could she get in and do well? Probably, but I don't think she wants to - she has too many self-confidence issues.
She's also very much fed up with JP permissions faggotry, thanks in no part to how fucking incompetent Anycolor's management is. So I highly doubt she'll join another JP corpo's EN branch.

If/when she decides to reincarnate, it'll either be Vshojo or going indie. I don't think she wants to be self-managed, she definitely wants a manager who has vtuber-related knowledge and connections who can help her with things like organizing merch, reaching out to people for commissions, etc. And given how she's most certainly burned on copos (after how dirty Anycolor did her), I don't think she wants to join an actual corpo, even if they are western-based. So I'm leaning more towards Vshojo. Not because of the people in the group, but because what the group can offer her.
But personally, I just want her to be happy, and to hear and see her streaming again.

>Pomu is an idolfag, but she doesn't want to be an idol.
Then Vshojo would be better for her, since they actually take the idol stuff pretty seriously in Holo.

I think after Pomu graduated, I kind of wanna stop coming here in general to be honest. The constant bait threads about Pomu was one thing and so were the threadreaders who never watched her that constantly ate that shit up. But after she left, it kind of made me reflect and realize this place is shit and not worth it and it will never get any better. Not with how much jannies encourage it.
And even after graduation, now we've moved onto the new thing to shitpost about and the cycle continues. This place poisons your mind and makes your hate vtubers and think the worst of most of them (sometimes deserved) and I almost did the same with Pomu.
I wish there was a good alternative but reddit is a sanitized hugbox and discord turns into it's own little popularity contest. Maybe it's the grief and regret talking.

Pomu did leave, but I am Pomu too and I remain.

The secret to enjoying this board is just staying in your own split for your oshi and never look at anywhere else. These places tend to have much less schizos than something like /nijiEN/ or the catalog. Straight up is not a bad idea but like you said, Discord is just a popularity contest in the end. It's hard to use it in any serious capacity.

You can NEVER fill the hole Pomu left in your heart. Even reincarnations never feel the same. I feel for you, pomudachis

You're not wrong but the problem is that my split gets raided nonstop to the point where people keep fighting against each other and calling each other trolls and imposters nonstop because people don't know how to stop biting bait. You eventually get sick and tired of being sick and tired of it. Even things that aren't bait gets called out as bait sometimes.

Sayu's been streaming more lately, so I've been watching her a bit. She's not all that similar to Pomu, but if Mint comes back as an indie maybe they'll interact.

Literally me. I was pretty happy for her when she announced the graduation, but her last 10 minutes fucking broke me.

Pomu... see you again...

IDK. Just knowing such an awesome girl actually lives somewhere out there gives me hope for humanity.
