Fuck.

>>85606562
It's going to suck if/when Fubuki leaves.

When she leaves...what will become of the thread...?

ILOVE AME FOREVER

>>85606696
I'm just surprised there's no general for graduated hololive talents. Then again, most of the fans have moved on, probably.

I envy the sleeping Teamates for their ability to sleep soundly and carefree this night, but I don’t envy the rude awakening they’re about to get.

>>85606802
isnt that what /grave/ was?

I thought it would be her or Gura. Neither has truly enjoyed what they're doing for like 2 years at least now and it has shown.
I said this before and I stand by it.
She'll continue to coast and occasionally stream some karaoke or overwatch or fallout or whatever here or there but practically be in potato mode 95% of the time.

I'm really sad, but the signs were on the wall.

>>85606802
/grave/ has existed a few times, the problem with a general for graduated chuubas is there's nothing new to talk about so no reason to be there

>>85606828
Imagine those poor early resting NA gators who went to sleep thinking that GTA stream was fun, and eagerly opening their YT notifications to see if Ame scheduled another one...

>>85606828
I want to go to bed but all of this bullshit has kept me from finishing this thing before tomorrows divegrass game
I feel obligated to make something good one last time in Ame's name
its 5:47 AM here captain

>>85606802
Kson has a thread. This is the first time a EN has graduated, besides Sana who never was particularly popular and her RM quit streaming altogether. If she comes back and is at least semi active, there will be a thread.

>>85606846
>was
Oh, well looks like it didn't have much of a following to sustain it. It would be like a party of mourners drinking to their memory, but they keep forgetting to wake up and bump the thread.

>>85606696
It will exist for a while afterwards. Then, teamates will be left for the Myth, EN, or Global threads.
She's not leaving entirely, so there will still be a reason to talk about her.

>>85606918
bong here, that was me
>alarm goes off
>check phone for notifications
>ame stream
>that title and thumbnail
>oh no

>>85606861
I don’t want to piss off any chumbies currently lurking, but I honestly hope Gura joins her if she goes back to being indie
Also there’s a chance maybe that with no fax machine autism she’ll stream more.

>>85606999
Well obviously she has one and it's still odd that it's partially gatekept by not mentioning her name in the OP and the other anons are on point: there's nothing to discuss unless they go back to vtubing. Last I remember, Rushia has her roommate and Aloe or green triangle disappeared a time after Coco's graduation.

>4th vTuber retiring/leaving me
>yet another thread in danger of fading out of existence again
sigh.....

>>85607253
>>4th
At least spill the beans, anon.

Why did she have to make a big official thing about it instead of carrying on the same way she's been doing for the past 2 years

ILOVE AME FOREVER

I appreciate her finishing activities and be promoted as staff(?) and not have an overly grand graduation event!

Always the unsung hero!

>bungle hasnt tweeted
>almost every other ame fan account is doomposting
suicide?

Everybody is confused, she should just cancel this Oh God I'm so sad

we were talking about this the other day
https://x.com/_Skaarl/status/1837048386211697111

>>85607253
If Fauna ever goes I'm genuinely going to walk into traffic
I'm surprised I've handled this as well as I have

https://x.com/Moon_LDL/status/1837068199965147381

I just realized one downside if she comes back.
Fucking Twitch. Ugh.
If you subscribe does that make the obnoxious ads go away?

>>85606828
>>85606918
>>85607054
I dunno the fact that its not an actual graduation makes me feel better about the whole thing. When I saw some of the stuff getting started and didnt know the details it actually physically hurt me in that "My heart is breaking" kinda way back when Coco annouched her graduation. I didnt get a rug pull with it not being a graduation with her Sana Mel or Aqua but with Ame I was told "Dont worry theres still a chance to see her" and that means so fucking much right now

If anything I feel like all the doomposting is the act of sisters trying to start shit and screw with peoples emotions like the soulless bugmen they are. I dont believe this is the end of anything and Ame is still going to be here in some way.

>>85607120
Chumbud here, was coming in to check on you guys, if Gura did the same and went to being an indie that streamed more than she does now I'd be happy. I like her because of how she is, not the company she belongs to, I hope for you guys that Ame will be doing some kind of indie thing on the side so she's not just gone.

>>85607293
at least this finally puts something set in stone rather than her dwindling on smoke and fumes without anyone knowing better. This whole "so close but so far" approach is bittersweet though. At least she just isn't fucking off completely, imagine how many consultations she must've had from staff regarding her "productivity". Now she's likely free to do her own thing, live her life and still keep in touch while not being burnt out. Just would've wished to actually know what happened, but that's her business of course
>>85607286
What do you even want?
Mizuki Aoi, Bea, PrayersfromAbigail, and soon Ame

I think it's time to hang this shit up

>>85607614
I hope if she does go indie it's on youtube. Yes there's still restrictions but dealing with twitch bullshit just isn't worth it.

https://x.com/Hasksoft/status/1837034926199251197

>>85607142
Delutya is still streaming.

>>85607694
>PrayersfromAbigail
Wow genuinely surprised to see her name here.

I can still trust in you, isn't that right foobs?

Ore no ame's still with us right??

>>85607523
I'm not even a gator and this hit me way harder than I thought (I don't think I'll recover anytime soon). I guess I really started with Gura and Ame as those were the two debuts I watched so this really hurts even if I never knew how much until now.

>>85607877
If Fubuki is still here and they tell us Ame is still with us I trust in them. i have always trusted Friend and always will

>>85607852
Oh, thanks for reminding m-
>Last stream: two years ago

i had a gift sub for someone who ran ads and i still got them, but the people i used my prime sub for didn't show me ads, though that may just be taking into consideration the person i'm subbing to isn't running stupid ass ads to me

>>85607716
She won’t have to make thumbnails on twitch, so we all know where she’s going. Hopefully she’ll upload VODs to YouTube.
But this is pointless conversation since we don’t even know what she’s doing.

>>85607936
I started with clips of foob but I watched Ame from day 1, while I haven't been a regular viewer for probably a year now (timezone issues) I am devastated to see her go.
My worry more than anything is we basically won't see her anymore, indie or within Cover.
I had a feeling she'd be the first to go, I just didn't want it to happen..

I just woke up.
Gonna go watch the stream now, but uh, fuck. I don't even feel sad yet, it doesn't even feel real yet.

>>85608025
If not her, some teamate will upload them.

I'm just so incredibly sad and lost.
I'm surprised at how I'm taking this so hard.

>>85608146
Don't worry, I had the same feeling. I still don't even feel like it's really happening.

>>85607852
>>85607987
im sorry kek, I was probably one of the 5 people here who actually watched her

>>85608146
Its not a graduation its.....something else.Its Ameway for sure but shes not gonna be completely gone

Give me a legit and good reason why she would leave.
It's the dream job. Show up a few days per week if even, play a video game, sing a bit or chat. Make 15k+ to your bank with ease.

It makes no sense. How is she gonna keep supporting her family doing something else that only pays 20% of that if even?

Stay strong teammates.

Ina is talking about it.

So what's Ame going to be best known for and associated with?

For me it's the 3D Mario rages but that's kinda old...

>>85608284
Followed her for a short while along with the threads here many years ago. She was nice, shame to find out she's decided to go

time to rewatch superliminal

>>85608464
ill always remember her for the space game stream where she ignored chat because they kept back seating

She's going to be like Goku in that Broly movie and she's going to appear to do the Kamehameha in the end...

Who do you think cried the hardest in Myth when they first heard the news? My money is on Wawa or Ina

Uhhhh both Ina and Bae have no idea what's the deal with Ame. Did she not tell anyone? Did she not even talk about it? I would like to imagine she maybe asked for advice or opinions before making a decision but it sounds like the girls had no idea and still have no clue.

I trust Ame's decisions.

>>85607936
it still feels really bad as you subconsciously understand that this is a really sad moment for others, which likely includes your own oshi. even if you personally aren't invested, empathy kicks you like a bitch.

i haven't followed ame for some time now, and now i'm just replaying in my head all the nice moments i had watching her

>>85608406
Ina says shes still gonna show up now and then. I cant stop smiling. Think of all the people who had their Oshii disappear on them one day and how they never got a promise like that

https://youtu.be/oRrebnLHy9U

EN's manager

>>85608678
She says she isn't sure how it's gonna work, not that she doesn't know or didn't know about it.

>>85608678
Ina just said that she's had time to process the news, despite this being new for us. They knew about it. What they don't know for sure is to what extent Ame'll still be around.

>>85608678
Ina literally just said they've known for a while now
what she doesn't know is what the fuck affiliate means

Oh...
That's...
Wow...
That's a rather hefty loss.

i want to say ina but i feel like it's calli

I for one welcome the Ame Taker era

It just makes no sense everything else she could do would be worse and make far less money

>>85608781
Unironically probably true given my experience with jap managers

Ina's basically confirmed she's going indie.

I’m trying to sleep but there’s a goddamn hole in my heart. It hurts.

Not gonna lie teammates I'm a bit crushed, I was feeling good about Myth's future after "The Show Goes On", I was put on a rug then got it pulled a week later.

It sounds pretty strongly like she's going back to indie.

>>85608899
all the WWE analogy from the other threads before Ame debunked the work-as-staff rumors just reminded me that fucking Kane became a senator IRL

>>85608819
it's probably just another layer in the agreement that even if she "graduates", she's giving Cover the permission to keep the IP alive so they can continue making merch of her. Cover can't afford to lose more valuable IP (even if they said their graduations are negligible on the last Yagoo mengen) so this is the compromise they made.

>>85608993
Liar

>>85608464
she's going to be known for her La Creatividad innovations and 3D works, having started/boost artist's careers
but for me, the bubb4bot supa sundays is what made me stop being a gray and give Ame my first ever membership

>>85609041
bit of wishful thinking. I'd laugh tho if she does cameo in Cali's roommate streams.

>>85608670
I think it might be why Gura still hasn’t done anything for her anniversary. At least partially.

>>85609062
Jesse Ventura was the governor of Minnesota.

>>85608993
No anon
The KOTH MMO isn't real

They just can't stop vague posting. What the hell does she mean by saying she won't participate in events but will participate in projects?what is a project?

>>85609242
If you wanna be cynical, maybe they just mean merch.

>>85609242
ENReco is guaranteed

>Ina saying Ame is a lonely person
Fuck. PLEASE keep interacting with her post-"graduation" Inners... Please.

>>85609039
Ngl it does feel a bit cruel. That song not only was a banger but it felt like a huge fuck you to the schizos and shitposters, but then it didn't matter at all. The schizos and shitposters were right.

Man I fucking loved the song but I don't think I'll be able to listen to it anymore. It feels cynical somehow. They all knew and still made it about that, why? Fuck I'm just rambling and drunk and sad.

>>85609242
VRChat in october be there or be rhombus

>>85609242
Ina was pretty clear. She won't be in anything regular, but there can be things like how anime have special-event episodes where the original season's protagonist shows up.

>>85609158
Ina keeps talking about how she'll be amazing "no matter where she is", and I'm pretty sure she was about to say "when she goes indie" before she paused for several seconds and switched to "goes Ameway".

>>85609242
I think events are things like concerts while projects are stuff like ENreco and special streams like anniversaries.

>>85608308
Listening to FWMC keeps giving her migraines, she can't stand being around them anymore

>>85609443
Ill take that over graduation. Its not everything you could want but ti will do

>>85608678
I don't think she has thought through this at all. She said its not a graduation in the stream but in every sense it is, the fact that everyone even her branchmates, genmates, jps, fans treating it like one shows that because thats what it is.
Seeing how there are only 10 days left after the announcement with the final verdict not being the scary g word (her words) I think she wants the garner the least amount of attention possible. But she should know better that leaves everyone more confused and eventually miserable in the long run

>>85609378
>the schizos and shitposters were right
It’s not hard to observe someone’s behavior and draw conclusions from it. Maybe you’ll learn and be able to tell when your next oshi is unhappy.

Ame if you think I'll follow you to indie flesh streams on Twitch or something, think again. I won't.
I wish you success and happiness after supporting you for 4 years here, but I'm not gonna follow you there.

>>85609789
To be fair it seems like the first time someone's quit streaming as a holomem on these terms, usually it's all or nothing. That plus the usual terrible public-facing messaging from cover is muddying the waters about as much as you'd expect.

Ame if you think I'll follow you to indie flesh streams on Twitch or something, you thought correct. I will.
I wish you success and happiness after supporting you for 4 years here, and I will follow you there.

>>85609863
cringe
>>85609929
baste

>>85609789
Trying to keep it almost in the down-low and gets the least amount of attention as possible while not trying to make anyone feel bad is very ame to be fair.

Ame if you think I'll follow you to indie flesh streams on Twitch or something, you thought neither correct nor incorrect. I am unsure.
I wish you success and happiness after supporting you for 4 years here, and I might follow you there.

>>85609929
Nah, I like vtubers. I don't like flesh streamers.

Ame if you think, don't do it.

>>85609863
>>85609929
Her schizo also follow her there (not a /vt/ schizo, actual stalker schizo). She is not showing her face willingly ever again

Bowson will never become a Sheogorath

>>85609114
But they wont make merch anymore? did you not read the Cover letter?

>>85609805
You shitposted every single day the same five angles for two years and hid like a coward every time your "conclusions" were wrong, so stop acting like the wise sage when you're just the broken clock.

>>85610125
FUCK YOU! I was about to post this, I thought of this post and you ruined it now!

>I will always remember when Watson was me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F84WapAH7M

rrat: ame did this just to force her leeching family to fucking finally get any kind of job

On one hand, I'm sad about Ame's "graduation".
But on the other hand, this might be the best "graduation" deal you can expect & I wish Aqua & Mel got this kind of treatment instead.

>>85610017
Some of you say this now, but if the possibility happens and the pain gets too much many of you will inevitably follow her there.

>>85610017
You like vtubers. I love Ame. Simple as

>>85610267
Mel aside, I wouldn't be surprised if Aqua was offered this but turned it down.

>>85610267
Only if it means she can do what she wants afterwards. Ina mentioned Ame wanting to do stuff but she couldn't.

>>85610295
Speaking as someone who already had 2 girls he really liked leave, no.
It's not the same afterwards, it never will be. They lose the whole environment, the collabs, everything will be different. They get involved with people you don't like, speak and collab with people you don't like too.

>>85610295
Not a teammate but it'd be pretty hard for me, I despise fleshtubers, can't even watch Kson these days even though I liked coco a lot.

That said if my Oshi went that way (0 chance to be honest) I would almost certainly put her on and cover up the camera window.

>>85610171
sry

>>85610241
I sincerely hope older brother Watson, who we recently learned apparently has a masters degree, has a job doing something.

>>85610358
>>85610267
This might just be some contract thing, if she hadn't renewed, she would have had to graduate in August and miss the Anniversary. Maybe she came to a deal where she'll do a few of the things Cover had lined up for her, and then next year they'll announce her full graduation.

>Bowson, the Elden Lord will never fully finish her story
>Smol Iron will never save New Vegas
>she’ll never finish Neon White, Ultrakill, Ghostrunner, Mario Wonder, and, saddest of all, Wattam
I just hope Bowson, Hero of Kvatch, can save the Shivering Isles

>>85610626
ER is probably the other game she wants to finish

>>85610626
ER is absolutely one of the games getting an endurance stream like she said. It's one of her most iconic series. FNV and the rest though... Yeah.

>we will never hear hee sing again
It's getting really I'm feeling it's it's fucking happening.

>>85610017
I don’t think she’s going to go back to doing flesh streams

What an awful way to wake up. This one really hurts.

>>85610771
Probably not. She will still have a big following. She probably won’t want to show her face anymore for privacy.

>>85610716
>>85610722
She has way to much left of ER and I doubt she can endurance it, I love her but she's not very good at the game. She always takes the long way around bosses. I think it's more likely she finishes Oblivion if she ignores most side content.

>>85610868
>Ame playing ER for 15 hours straight
>Reaches final boss and about to throw in the towel
>Someone in chat suggests she summon gators
>She touches my summon sign and I solo the boss for her
So it is written.

my summer is truly over now

So let me get this straight
>memberships are closed
>no more streams on her channel
>she will never again stream to just us or talk to us 1on1
>but totally not a graduation
What the fuck is this shit?

>>85610865
>>85610771
A shame, those tits were glorious

>>85610970
She'll occasionally show up in the background like once or twice per year for some huge holo event and will continue to collect royalties from smol ame and other such stuff
That's about it

>>85610868

>>85610623
Will happen. This is just Covers way to keep graduation off the books for this year.

can any of her superfans tell us what she might be thinking or why she made this decision?

>>85610970
If graduations are a -10/10 this is a -9/10
It still sucks. Don't get to hear her giggles. Don't get to hear her whiny voice. Don't get to hear her singing. FUCK

>>85610970
I don’t think she will ever show up in group collabs and stuff. They just want to use her in the new game I think. That is what this means and why this is being done.

>>85611121
The discord seems to have a pretty good theory that gave me some hope. But you'll have to join to check it out cuz they'll get mad if I spill it.

>>85610970
It is in all but name. She clearly did this to make things at least a little bit less painful for us and her genmates because she is just weirdly compassionate and sweet like that.

>>85610970
It's not a graduation because we MIGHT see her in certain select "projects" later down the line.
Whether that just means anniversaries, or fes, or ENReco, or even just rare collab streams, we have literally no idea right now.
It's best for us to just hold our horses and wait until Ame herself says it on the zatsu. I'm sure most of it will just be her explaining herself.

Will you still love Ame even if she turns into a kappa?

>>85611121
I don't know, I really don't get it. It's not like she even used the capabilities and perms within Hololive to their limits in the past year and more, she's been so out of it that I cannot believe it's just about perms.
And no doubt she'll make less money doing anything else.

>>85609151
>bubb4bot supa sundays
fuck I remember those.. so kino

>>85611240
What, is it doxxshit or something?

>>85610970
Genuinely upset that the ride is over but they are refusing to say it is and are still wanting to string us along. It is cruel.

>>85611240
>The discord seems to have a pretty good theory that gave me some hope.
I really doubt that
>But you'll have to join to check it out cuz they'll get mad if I spill it.
I see through your tricks

>>85611185
AAHHHH SHIT you're right. I'm completely checked out from that shit but you're 100% right that must be it. Imagine developing a character, spending all those resources and then your "voice actor" quits so you can't use it because if you recast her the fans will kill you. That's a lot of money down the drain. They probably already lost a lot of money and dev tim thanks to Aqua so Ame might be the first implementation of this new format of "graduation". Man this rrat is perfect, it even explains the "some projects", that would be voice lines for the character.

Alright I'm all in on this rrat.

READ

IMPORTANT

People pretending to care or watch her is hilarious.

>>85609328
is ame lonely? I feel shes just "ame way" she does her own thing lives her own life

>>85607681
Well, yeah. The only way to have Myth carry on is if all graduate and continue as a group post-hololive, and that is not happening.
Ame will have appearances, of some kind we do not know of yet, but there will never be another Myth concert, or a group performance, or a Worms collab.

>>85611485
Phew, it was all mass psychosis.

>>85611485
I believe

>>85611558
From what she tells us she doesn't do much outside of stay inside with her family. I know she's just afraid of selfdoxx but I honestly can't remember the last time she's talked about a recent story involving a friend that isn't a holo.

>>85611485
Ah okay I just imagined that, phew, thanks anon!

>>85610822
yep. woke up an hour ago and bam. all this shit just fucked up my rhythm

Everything went to shit the moment her crappy mother came back into her life because she smelled money.
There I said it and it's true.

>>85607681
The indie route scares me because of the whole environment. Like I trust Ame but still. It's a fucking cesspool of degenerates. Say what you will about Holo but their restrictions gave way to a lot of creativity and very close relationships. I don't know how I would feel if by the year 2026 Ame is just on Twitch watching 12 hours of Daily Dose while sleeping or on a call with some random Asian dudes. I know I'm saying the worst outcome I'm drunknsorry

>>85609181
I don't think Gura will do an anniversary at all.
I wouldn't want to celebrate mine when it is also the kinda-graduation of my genmate.

>>85611645
>she doesn't do much outside of stay inside with her family
I personally don't believe it. I feel like its like you said she wants to avoid selfdox like the plague. but can such a goofy creative person really not go out and do things? either way I hope she feels more free to live her life now..

>>85611169 (me)
And her hiccups! Don't get to hear her hiccups. Thanks greyfag for reminding me... sigh

>>85611687
Ayup. You can literally pinpoint the drop in her mentality/content by the date of her talking more and more about her mom.

>>85611886
A lot of her hobbies are pretty nerdy and self contained. Like watching K-drama, scrolling social media, video games, terrariums, and bug/fish collecting. It wouldn't surprise me if the most she goes outside is whenever Watson family drags her out or to take Bubba and Mikki for a walk.

>>85610970
>>85611121
At the end of the bittersweet day, this is all her (and Cover's) convoluted and elaborate way of hanging the gig up without cutting ties all together.

She keeps in touch but isn't obligated to duties, Cover gets to keep their IP warm and fresh for poster sales (while giving Ame a cut), and we all get our crumbs assuming both parties follow through with these "production appearances" as long as Ame's door stays open.
Questionable, but it could've been worse I suppose

>>85611687
She’d been streaming less and less but it really felt like she kinda gave up after that vacation last year, which I’m pretty sure her mom was part of. She gave up on Watson Weekly, she didn’t try to stick to any sort of schedule like Watson Wednesday or Watson Weekend, she kept disappearing after saying she wouldn’t and then she took that long hiatus, which granted wasn’t a real hiatus since she streamed on holidays and her birthday, but it was still months of barley any streams.

All of this just sucks. This permanent "guh she might appear once in a blue moon for 5 seconds in some background" shit doesn't make me feel any better about it.
And thinking about her turning to twitch shittery doesn't make me any happier either.

>>85611645
Probably the 1st Japan trip when she said she was there with another friend group. Pretty sure there was something more recent but I can't remember.

>>85612216
I think you’ll find that’s not actually his name.

>It might be hard to see now, but yeah, I do think that everything is gonna turn out okay. Yeah, I believe it. And after everything, I feel like you guys also helped me believe in myself. You guys taught me that Ameway is too strong. Stubborn.

>>85612166
Yeah I'm 99% sure the bio is new. Keeping an eye on this, I really don't want her to stop streaming.

>>85612310
Pretty grim that fans are fine that their oshis become Mickey Mouses.

Which songs will you miss the most from karaoke?

>>85612310
lmfao

>>85612626
I just wanted to hear 99 Balloons one last time...

>>85612512
why did she lie

>>85610752
Do you remember the 23rd of September?

>>85612402
how the hell is she gonna manage as an indie if she can't workflow? she's gonna be doomed

>>85612626
If she goes indie, she’ll be able to sing Weezer and the Moon Song again.

>>85612626
duvet >>85518454

>>85612626
it was a good day

>>85612626
Duvet, Kiss Me, La Vie en Rose, Linger

>>85612521
I mean she's tried to several times before. Even trying different content and just doesn't seem to stick with it. We know Cover doesn't give a fuck about holos having other jobs not even NSFW ones so if she wanted to have more freedom idk why she just couldn't make some streams on the outside. Kiara does it, Mori does it, they have a pretty healthy balance about it too.

Now I wonder if Ame was feeling too complacent in Holo. Like it's just a nice, easy gig. So she's treating this graduation as stripping the bad aid off and full sending her other channel. She better stick with it because she has no safety net anymore.

Chances for indie?

>>85612852
Read the thread.

>>85612728
Unless her situation changes she won't be doing much as an indie. At least not stream-wise.
But she will probably be extremely sad every time she sees her finished studio room just being... there.

>>85612310
>>85612598
>fans are fine
debatable
I'd just call it "RETIREMENT" at least for goodness' sake. It goes without saying of course that Cover is getting a nuke on their headquarters without delay the moment I hear a different woman voicing her, or she ends up just having bullshit, pre-recorded scripted cameos. No one truly knows if she'll go indie or not even though we all know she needs the money somehow

It can't be over man. What the fuck? It's unreal it's way too soon. Sure in 10 years or something but it hasn't been that long yet. What the fuck man...it's just endless misery.

>>85606074
So, is she becoming staff? Or is she just moving on with life to become a stay at home wife?

>>85612820
idk man I'm worried as hell because as things go she has not really demonstrated the ability to be consistent over the long term. She better invest in her friendships because that's gonna be her saving grace.
I also wonder if it's possible this graduation could be reversed if necessary

The Twitch route only has 2 paths, most of your fans leave after a month or two because they realize it's not the same. Or 50% of your streams are collabs with ecelebs and male friends.

>>85612972
i heard she's becoming green ranger

>>85613029
shes gonna get a flute and can summon a cool green dinosaur? I'm down

>hank hawatson
This name just got me wtf man

>>85612728
That’s why I knew she’s never be staff and people were crazy for suggesting it. She had an easy job where she could work as much or as little as she wants and could pick her own hours, with no need to concern herself with dress and hygiene and she could barely handle that. There was no way she was going to move to a job with set hours and more responsibilities.

>>85612820
It always seemed a little half-assed yeah, and each time iirc it was around November/December aka the cursed months so it just seemed like an outlet to vent and stream with no stress from her hololive audience. I like to think this is a soft reset that she hopes will reignite her passion for streaming a bit, I just really hope she can network on her own and I hope her irl situation doesn't keep dragging her down. I would love to see her flourish as an independent rather than watch her continue spinning her wheels in hololive.

>>85613017
It's not even about that, or any content down the line as an indie.
She won't be with Myth, or any EN, and the loss of that is what makes a lot of people leave.

Praying for you guys that she will continue as an indie with lots of energy and not join the vtuber retirement home known as vshitshow. I might not watch her anymore, but she is who really got me into hololive and with that vtubing.

>>85612972
>is she becoming staff
no, read the community post. Also, Ina said they will be using the studio de Ame sometimes and ask for technical support
>is she just moving on with life to become a stay at home wife?
Yeah, mine

We'll miss ame dearly investigators. From a chumbud

I'm sorry guys, thinking of you teamates today.

>>85611558
She’s solitary, not lonely. She has companionship when she wants it, she just doesn’t always want it.

>>85613160
Well she's friends with Silvervale so I'm sure that'll help.

I'm mentally still in 2020, listening to her 8+ hours supa reading streams

>>85613420
>chumbud
You probably understand it the best, since Gura doesn't stream either.

>>85612626
City of Stars, Moon Song, Kiss Me, La Vive En Rose, 1985, Sweater Weather, It Was a Good Day

>>85613475
>She’s solitary, not lonely
yeah thats kind of what I meant thank you, i couldnt quite articulate it

>>85613149
It's not like she was working in a coal mine so the reasons are mostly psychological. Set hours can be easier to handle since you don't hate yourself for having freedom to do what you want and using it to procrastinate at the end of every week. Responsibilities can also be very different. It's one thing to be in charge of a 3D studio and having a lot of work you sometimes have to renegotiate deadlines for and a whole different thing to promise an entertainment project to a hundred thousand people and then fail to deliver it.

https://voca.ro/1h5ddTok7Kst

Sucks how the zatsu is going to be full of grays who haven’t watched her in 3-4 years. Wish it was members only.

If not a gator, than what

>>85613682
you son of a bitch get out of here kek

>>85613497
Gura's SOMA streams and Ame's chatting streams are some of my most treasured memories when it comes to hololive.
Mumei is my oshi but this is truly the end of EN as "whole" for me. I still love them, but I in the process of moving on from hololive to just love my favourite talents.

I'm sorry teamates. Ame was my first Holo and the one I used to watch almost exclusively before I got my oshi. This is a terrible lost, it hits me really hard to me, I don't even want to think what it represent to you. Stay strong and enjoy your time left with her the most you can. I will be joining you on these last days, screaming ‘AAAAAMMMMEEEEE’ and being alongside this little gremlin to the end.
Love, kronie.

We will never see her vagina again

WHAT THE FUCK I JUST WOKE UP AAAAAAAAAAAA AME I LOVE YOU I WILL FOLLOW YOU WHEREVER YOU GO

>>85613991
>Kronie
Somehow I feel like she's close to being next. Or someone from 2nd gen.

>>85613077
>Cute green dino
I'll miss the AmeSamekino... c'mere teamates

>A high ranking member of shiftup, the company behind Goddess of Victory Nikke is a Teamate
Oh no...

>>85613682
What is this based on?

wait I hope the guy making that gurame mating press animation won't stop working on it, hopefully it blows up like the futa sana one

>>85611687
Nah, if there is one member in all of hololive that would be pissed off about Cover tightening their grip about perms and homework, it would be Ame.
The beginning of the end was around the time Ookami blues OG MV got cancelled and Bubba radio stopped being a thing, the Karafun enforcement happened a bit later I believe but you can also toss that thing in. I could feel the pain growing when she said things like "I didn't know we could do that, but I feel like if I asked I would have been told no". I feel like after that point she felt absolutely no benefit in being in Hololive from an individual content creator perspective. She kept herself around because she of course likes Hololive, the girls and what she built up to this point. Which is why she is negotiating this weird deal with them too.

Hey bros
Sending love from /who/
Stay strong

>>85614163
There's some AI company whose gimmick is taking in large amounts of data about a subject and turning it into an NPR style podcast.

I'm happy she's no longer gonna be a zombie, Ame's too cool to remain leashed, but man it stings anyway

>>85613787
another green entity

>>85614116
I don't think so, she enjoys hololive a lot.
>2nd gen
Bae lives in Japan and IRyS is almost a JP member, Fauna likes her place but she does seem a bit less motivated about the "idol" part compared to before her 3D debut, and Mumei lives for uni, hololive, and her pet.
But I thought Ame was a ride-or-die for hololive, so what weight does my word carry...

>>85614492
don't take shitposters words seriously, name one holofan who seriously says 2nd gen instead of council or promise

Chumbud here. Thank you, your oshi has always been amazing to my oshi and I'm feeling down with you. I hope you guys take care these next few days and that we will get to see/hear more Ame from behind the scenes and her amazing exploits. Ame lives forever, she's a time traveler after all.

>>85614389
The corrupted data for her 3d office too. I remember she said she had plans for halloween and she ended up just doing a watchalong and a karaoke

>>85614588
Me.

the cutest she will ever be, ever again...

now that i think about it, her anniversary stream did look like a good way to say farewell

amelia bad

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I JUST SAW THE STREAM I CANT EVEN CRY BECAUSE I'M AT WORK AAAAAA
I WANNA DIEEEE

>Joins Ceci's icecream shop
>Announces this afterwards

Jesus, how bad are those ice creams...?

>>85614588
>You have to call them the way I do!
lmao

>>85614823
the old intros, the parade of nostalgic models, things always look different in retrospect

The whole world loves you, Amelia Watson.

>>85614902
>You have to call them the way I do!
where to even begin

I JUST woke up.....Ame love forever...

>>85614116
She always tells us she is temporarily in this, as far as saying it in this week anniversary stream, so if there is a fanbase that is ‘ready’ (as ready as you can be, because it will hurt like shit when it happens), it is us.

jailbird here. feeling real sorry for you guys, situation sucks. i hope she can join some collabs down the line if she's interested.

best wishes to you all

>>85614492
i called ame being the first one out a couple weeks ago, and now i'm not sure who would legitimately be next. i don't think it would be kronii, despite her menhera it's ultimately a positive aspect in her life and i feel she understands that. mumei is the other side of the coin, has a lot of issues but she really appreciates being in hololive.

i don't feel like anyone in promise is wavering at the moment.

To you just waking up wait an hour or two before it really hits you.

>>85614981
Go on then. Put your thoughts to words.

It's all this guy's fault. >>85573145

I can't believe the one year she decides to do limited merch is the year she soft graduates.

Remember that Ame is a libertarian, so she values freedom and not paying taxes(to holo or gov). So, that might be one of the reasons.

Out of the people who got me into hololive, only one streams regularly.
Out of the people who keep me in hololive, no one streams regularly.

Mori will be talking about Ame
https://youtu.be/hHShF1OAph8

>>85615027
Have you seen us?
We're a mess, all the time in the world cant prepare us for it

>>85612626
Your Reality from the first karaoke was fenomenal, just transceding. Unlike many I hate bad singing but that one was amazing, all the flaws were something I could overlook and she was genuinely trying with all her might, not goofing off forgetting all the lyrics. That was a really emotional experience. That's why I felt her singing got only worse and worse since those first streams. Probably most will disagree with me but she sounded the best when she was still nervous. The only really goofy song from that first stream was Superman but I loved that one too.
The Moon Song, Hallelujah, I mean all their first renditions are up there for me too.

>>85615517
Good thing I nabbed one or else I will regret forever.

>>85615550

>>85615967
now we die

>>85615967
We move on.
Not that we'll ever be able to move on.

>>85615246
I knew as soon as she ended the GTA stream >>85541453

Maybe she thinks this'll decrease the stalking, which is something of a fool's hope.

>>85615967

bro...

>>85616063
now post the other hundred times you did this

>>85616186
Akai Haato is Haachama's real name.

im coping hard but im a bit happy that ame is semi-graduating since i can finally move on from vtubers. god speed gators it was a good one o7

At least she's being honest about what she's doing instead of just ghosting until company events happen.

>not even Mori knows what the fuck she's doing with this arrangement
the ameway succeeding one last time is making me laugh and I need some levity right now.

Mori is not doing good, man

>go off on her adventures and see how much even bigger her brain can expand
They keep talking about the stuff she's going to do after

I'm confused, worried and sad

I bought stationary so that I can send Ame a letter while I still have the chance.

>>85606074
Hooman here. I'll always cherish the sweet stories of how Ame and Mumei interacted, like Ame buying her ice cream and their virtual aquarium date. She's a provider and a supporter at heart, and it really shines in her interactions with the other girls. Here's hoping she can keep using that wonderful side of herself going forward.

Stay strong, Teamates. I wish I could offer something more than that.

>>85616142
qrd?
>>85616376
But what if she reincarnates?

>>85616640
I should do the same, I am terrible with words and I feel I can't properly express myself but I should give it a try. I tend to ramble specially when I'm concerned

I haven't been coming around often these days due to work. Saw the announcement vid pop up while waking up today and it still hit me in the gut.
ILOVE AME FOREVER
I will want to kiss ratmom's voice forever.
It's been a good run. Hope all of the regulars here are doing well. Hope we all get fed crumbs and Ame can still be found floating around the internet.

Mori loved doing the MC with Ame...and the EOAL trio...

>>85616827
I'm not that guy but if she does I will watch her. At least try to.
But knowing that we'll never have a collab again, or having her on a shared "journey" with her genmates, will forever make me sad.

>>85616983
The announcement said you have until Nov 29th
plenty of time to come up with something

>>85617052
With Gura being semi-retired, Mori doing whatever as her alt and now Ame going the semi route too, myth is one step from crumbling away, poor Ina must have it difficult.

I'm actually crying. I know she's going to appear here and there but I'm going to miss ame so much

>>85607987
She actually did a Christmas stream last year, I was surprised myself. I miss her too, man.

listening to Mori it feels like Ame leaving to make personal projects that she was working on for some time. And with home 3D i hope she will be doing it for herself

>have to cover in ER on my day off
>Ame going too

It's been a rough one

>mori making it clear as fuck that this is just a graduation in all but name
god this feels so fucking terrible, why did they even have to get people's hopes up with that BULLSHIT borderline-lying

>>85617207
kiwawa....

My condolences to all of you. Ame did some amazing work during the hardest early days of EN organizing things and setting up 3Ds when staff wouldn't. I haven't followed Holo for a couple years now but I hope she and you all make it through this ok.

I'm sorry she's leaving Teamates, I hope she returns to you in another form

>>85612626

I went 4chan for the first time in my life in search of this cover and learned how to use archives and stuff until I become a regular on /hlgg/

This was some time after I lost my wife from the coof and I remember bawling in her dummy cute voice because she sings as passionately as my wife and just as bad.

I stopped making fun of my sisters with their kpop obssession after realizing how precious ame is.

>>85617459

Mori is barely doing anything there nowadays. No streams, only professional gigs.
She's basically full-on in hololive now.

>>85617386
I'm assuming the wording is actually just because she has prerecorded bits in some upcoming events. So she will graduate on the specified date but Past Ame will be with us a little longer.

>>85617386
I mean it was definitely a for of graduation, by the fact alone that she's not going to stream anymore in her channel, but she's supposedly appearing in events

>>85617555
>she only had 2-3 more years
man FUCK

>>85617555
>Myth coming back in 5 years, all with hag models now

THE RAINFOREST SONG IS REAL
but at what cost...

>>85617678
Ina made it sound like Current Ame will appear every now and then, not just pre-recorded stuff.

>>85617506
FUUUUUCKKK THAT CHORUS IS PEAK
do you have the whole stream?

>>85617678
Sana prerecorded stuff for Council's anniversary but still had a strictly worded graduation

I figured it was coming and now I just feel kinda numb. At least I can oshihen without guilt.

>>85617887
>>85617910
It's not. Only Mori will be singing but Ame will be featured in the MV

Can someone direct me to some timestamps of other Holo talking about it?

My condolences about your oshi. I'm gonna miss her and Mumei being sisters together.

>>85617555
>comes back years later
>new grown up model

Imagine waiting over 5 years for a new "outfit reveal", it would be glorious.

I'm gonna be coping and hope that she cames back in a couple of years, of not sooner.

Haven't been a teamate for three years and the first stream I watched of her in a while was her recent chatting stream. When she talked about switching jobs my alarm bells immediately went off but no one in chat or /here/ reacted to it so I assumed it meant nothing. Turns out I was right
https://youtu.be/ZBuwAGUJpbI?t=9761

>>85617999
That's the first thing of two

Gonna miss Ame holiday streams
they were coming up to

>>85618018
Mori is literally live right now

Mori coping hard, are you hearing this?...

>>85617386
Judging by what Ina said it's what Ame negotiated.

>>85616142
she had stalkers?

>>85618219
THEY are always watching her

On the off-chance that she'll return to streaming in some way(but not as ame) do you suppose she'll pretend to not recognize the names in the chat

>>85618289
oh shit
I think they are watching me, too...

What was your favorite series? I loved her donkey kong country playthrough.

>>85609242
>Group Music
>Voice Acting for games/movies/animations
Those are the ones that I think make sense. Though I don't think she'd music.

>>85606074
Even my cancer outlasted ame. Fucking hell

>>85618292
It won't matter on Twitch, no supers to read. And she'll have mods eating up her attention.

>>85618292
No other streamer I've seen has done that.

>>85618436
A shame.

>>85618321
not a series but this always got a chuckle from me

>>85618321
Elden Ring and Outer Wilds

Ame was my first vtuber waifu... much love to her and the gators
Ametori love forever

>>85611330
The first iteration that was on that interactive DJ site where she was teasing us in chat at the end. I can't believe it's been 4 years. I was hooked on her from her debut, the superliminal stream the day after was the nail in the coffin. I remember that scuffed csgo stream she did in the first or second week that had obvious stream snipers in it. Her talking about finding your own success and carving your own slice of happiness. I've moved on to other holos after the past rough few rough patches, but she'll always be my first oshi no matter what. This sucks, and I keep coming back to this thread and feeling worse, but I hope she's able to find that happiness again.

>>85618292
My online handle is just my first name, and it's not that unique.

Oblivion. My oshi amewaying one of my favorite games was really fun and nostalgic to watch

>>85618321

>>85618219
yes thats the reason she moved in with her family, i always thought it was obvious, she is a naturally paranoid person to begin with now imagine living alone in hobo/druggie central as a late 20s woman with her peculiar online situation

New thread:
>>85618956
I'm gonna sleep now. Rest well as best you can, gators.

>>85609023
Really?

I don't feel like doing anything today. I feel completely demoralized.

I had uni classes but I spent two hours in my bathroom and didn't feel motivated to go to any afternoon ones.
She's not even my oshi, I just love Ame. She is one of the reasons I watch streams at all.

>>85619177
NTA but Mori has been talking about 'new adventures and her brain expanding' and Ina was talking about how there's a lot of things Ame wants to do but can't because of 'situations'
So it certainly doesn't sound like a 'stepping back because of overwork' sort of situation or retirement

This feels so impossible. I dont want to not be around to miss all the reminiscing and final days, and im feeling almost sick to my stomach for choosing to not watch the last few streams over some real life stuff these past few days. But fuck it all hurts, everything i look at is talking about her, im just sitting in my office completely paralyzed. Ive been here or thought about her pretty much every day for 40+ months. Fuck.

Ignore twitter and /vt/ for a couple days, just watch the streams on your own for now

Is there any merch you missed out on that you regret? I need to buy this skateboard before it's gone forever.

Half of me wants to cry. But the other half is spurring me on to progress the things in my life Ive let be ignored. Even if it hurts, lets all be a little extra Ameway today, okay Teamates?

>>85619861
