Farewell messages to Vesper Noir

Micky C:

I remember I was about to start my last semester of college when Tempus debuted. Usually it took me a week to really get involved, but Tempus was different, and you especially were the first person I immediately declared as my oshi. As the months went on I found myself being more motivated to finish college and better myself in small ways because I wanted to tell you about what I did. I didn’t have money to spare so I couldn’t send superchats, and I was always busy so I couldn’t interact with chat or anything, so the moment never came, even on my birthday when I wanted to send a birthday message (again, too poor so that’s on me only, not you). I still kept going though, because I would imagine you and the other boys cheering me on, and it helped a lot on tougher days. I admire the things you did too, like how streaming helps with your social anxiety and going to Japan for work. Yes, the trip itself was probably a wild ride but going to a foreign country while only kind of knowing the language, especially Japan, is something I’ve always wanted to do but was too afraid to do so. I think Japan is a beautiful country, so while I may not have the hiking willpower, maybe it’s an idea I shouldn't toss away just yet. That and honestly just you being here made me think more of things I value for myself, something I’ve had to brush aside to be more “reasonable”, and it started rekindling my own dreams and aspirations slowly but surely. Creativity and art is vital for life in my opinion, and I can’t thank you or anyone enough for bringing that back to me. It’s not like I’m gonna stop now though. I might as well keep going and keep making you and the boys proud. And myself, that too, haha. Have fun with Sana up in the stars! Or in that cabin in the woods with great internet, or Antarctica, or wherever else you go. And thank you again, for everything.

It has been a wild ride. Thank you for all your hard work and the memories, Vesper Noir, resident scholar of the adventurer's guild TEMPUS and a member of HOLOSTARS English. Every stream you're in has been a delight and I am proud of what you were able to accomplish as a Holostar, including your solo cover and aspiring artist arc from MS Paint to CSP (especially the assets you made). I had a great time drawing with Vesties and Hakkitos in your art collab with Hakka, I hope you keep drawing! I also remember your unarchived karaoke, you have a great voice and I hope you will keep singing! From your morning zatsudans to your membership art streams and watchalongs, it's been an honor for me to support your journey o7. I will carry on as a Tempura and support the rest of the boys, but I will never forget you and your catchphrases like "get rotated". I'm glad to have an oshi that had so much passion for tea and I enjoyed learning facts about tea. From one tea enjoyer to another, stay safe and keep doing your best in your future endeavors. Take care, Vespapa ^^ -ChocoMilk P.S. To explain the fanart with your 2.0 design, it's inspired from a past zatsu: you let me sit next to you in a plane as you fly it into an uninhabited island and I'm forever grateful. It took me a while to get around to it but I finally made it, hope you like it!

I didn't really watch Vtubers. I pretty much only gave the Tempus debuts a try because they came up in a geeky general chat I was in and I was like: 'Huh, you know, most of the VTubers I've seen are ladies. Maybe the boys could use a little support.' You really were something else in your debut. Your story about the plastic ball resonated, and with each zatsudan, I wanted to spend more and more time watching. I didn't make every stream, but every stream I caught was a joy to witness. I really liked watching you grow more confident in collabs. The creative ways you tackled content. The way your laughter felt like a burst of warmth aimed right for my chest. And, as someone who is an anxious, introverted mess (and as someone who did similar things on a trip to Japan lol), seeing you succeed felt like a reminder that I could do more than I was trusting myself with. Seeing you put yourself out there felt like a perpetual challenge to do better myself and I hope that you know that, wherever you are now, what you did meant something. Changed something for the better for me and I'm sure many others. And I want to thank you for that. [...] Even if it was short, I want to thank you for the time you gave us. I hope you're happy and healthy where you are now.
