Hewwo~✩ I'm Elerii, a cozy and casual faerie vtuber!! I like indie games, macarons, k-pop, and NijisanjiEN♡
I made this acct just to keep in touch with other vtuber friends (and as a back up in case anything happens to the bird site), but expect it to be Nijisanji reblog heavy for the time being!!
Another year has come to an end!! To everyone who has supported me in 2023, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart💜
Looooong letter under the cut!
In preparation for writing this, I looked back at the letters I wrote last year, both the one I wrote for myself and the one that I shared here. In a way there isn't too much that's changed. The negative points were almost astoundingly similar. At this point 2023 feels like a repeat of 2022, just in a slightly different font.
I was still able to achieve a few things however! Things like finally releasing shortform content, a slightly impromptu collab, releasing my first wallpaper, and making smaller improvements to the stream and community!! I've also been able to make a lot of great friends this year, and I hope to get to know them all more in the months to come💜
On a personal note, I finally took some time out from my irl responsibilities to recover from the burnout that had been bearing down on me for a long while. After a month's rest, I think I've realized this will be a longer journey than I thought. There are a lot of things I have yet to learn about taking care of myself and my mental health, and I intend to spend the next year really focusing on how to build better systems for the long-term.
Because of the above, there are many things I didn't get to do in 2023. I have a lot of ideas rattling around in my little brain!! (Sometimes to the point it's hard to sleep for thinking too much.) I'm excited to take those unfinished projects into 2024 and hope to make them a reality. Even if they end up being one off projects, I want to try new things in the coming year and share them with you all!
Maybe this isn't something to share on a post like this, but since writing my letter last year, I've been considering how long I'll be able to continue this for. Most likely, I'll graduate after my 5th year anniversary (September 2025). I think 5 years is a significant amount of time to put into something, and being the type of person that I am who wants to try different things, it will be time to move on to something else.
Of course, I'm not heavily enforcing this, life can be unpredictable and that day could come up sooner (or later even). But, for now this is my plan. I've debated voicing this out loud especially with how far away it is, but I realized I would feel bad if I had just been sitting on this information for 3 years and didn't tell anyone.
I want everyone to know that the reason I'm setting this timeline isn't because I'm not enjoying being a vtuber. I really do enjoy everything from chill streams, to random ppts, to just hanging out in discord. But I also know that the phrase "all good things come to an end" ultimately rings true, and I want that to happen on my own terms as much as possible.
Anyway, that date is still a verrrrrry long way away!! And if I'm being honest, I want a lot of people to come celebrate (and cry) when I graduate, so until then I need to work very hard to reel in as many folks as possible hehe. If you're reading this right now, please help me make that happen, okay?!!
Now I feel like I've gone told you all my secrets again. Thank you so so much for putting up with me over the past year and all the time before that as well!
Luxiem 2.0 !!
I absolutely freaked out when the announcement was dropped, and I decide to challenge myself to draw their outfits while the relay was happening (which was a terrible idea) but was fun nonetheless !! they all look so pretty
