Idea that came to mind after Ruze's Be Nice To Bugs Day stream where he got raided by Shiori who got Raided by Gigi as her stream was ending (and Flayon raiding Ruze later on).
Originally I was going to half ass ms paint the famous Charlie Day Corkboard Meme, but the want of adding the fan representation of mascots from people I saw raid into stream made me motivated enough to try and draw a version of the meme.
I felt extra motivated to commemorate this serendipitous happenchance because it was a rare moment of Gigi's community (the Grems-yellow striped creature) getting to "meet" the type of entertainer Ruze is.
For those who follow me and are out of the loop, the Men's Branch and Female Branch of HoloProductions don't interact much so that means fanbase overlap isn't very large (it isn't as small as some claim, but it isn't uncommon for fans of either branch to not know characters/talents of the other branch), and I believe this is the first time for sure Grems got a good idea of Ruze's demeanor, besides his TTRPG DM side.
They got to see Ruze dork out and ramble about bugs and his opinions on bugs as a bug lover. When communities you like get to meet and its drama free and everyone has a good time. 🥺💖
rough sketch I used as a reference and base on the digital version of this.
stream where Crimzon Ruze makes a bug tier list (Content Warning: slideshow using irl bug pictures on the side, but otherwise Ruze used cartoonish darwings of bugs for the tier icons.)

I have many headcanons for basically every piece of media I've ever consumed, but my absolute favorite is that Robin fully believes that Nami and Vivi are in a relationship. She never asked Nami simply because it's just not her thing, but ever since she joined the crew, she was convinced that the two were in love. Initially, it was just an assumption based on nothing but vibes she got from seeing them together through the Arabasta arc, but as her and Nami became closer and Nami started talking about herself to Robin, the assumption turned into a belief. Nami being the ultimate lesbian, talking about Vivi as if she were the center of the universe, was all Robin needed to hear after seeing for herself how close they were. Like the woman is fully on convinced that they are in a long distance relationship and whenever Nami mentions Vivi, she is extra nice to her because she feels bad that the two are separated. On top of that, Franky believes this too because the first time Vivi was mentioned in front of him (by Nami ofc) he asked Robin about her and because Nami is so openly simping for the princess (even if she doesn't realize that) Robin felt like it was okay to share this info with him.
I will reblog more Crimzon Ruze "why you should go subscribe or follow him on socials" propaganda later at some point, but for now I just want to reblog this clip of him being bullied by his fans, aka the same people who have been voting for him to get this far. <3

Special shout out to Tumblr's Sexy Jester 2026 Gavis Bettel's playthrough doing the same challenge with his viewers earlier today (I haven't run into clips of this stream so I'm posting the full archive/vod).

Just wanted to come in to show examples of what a nice, sweet guy Ruze is (although he would protest this like the tsundere he is).
He works super hard to build his platform on YouTube, and to help build up HOLOSTARS ENGLISH, the VTuber group that he is currently working in. Even with his misgivings about corporations, he decided to step out of his comfort zone and try something new, including singing on stage with his gen-mates! You can watch their concert for free in this link here:

He also tried his hand at making a cover from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, which you can listen to here:
He of course picked a Shadow so because he's so tough, edgy, and cool like that.
If that weren't enough, his hand cams are also super creative! He really tries to make them as entertaining as possible and goes all out with the decor. This hand cam stream was probably my first impression of him (I can't quite remember how I got into the Ruzader fandom, haha!):
Becoming the anti Valentine. The... Malintent. The Malentine? We'll workshop it.Thumbnail: https://twitter.com/0G_RB▼X (formerly Twitter
He also has a ton more, including one where he dressed as a maid (on his model and IRL, because CRIMZON RUZE ALWAYS COMMITS TO THE BIT!):
Showcasing more of his hard work, he spent literal months working on a D&D campaign that he and other members of HOLOSTARS EN could participate in, and if anyone couldn't make a session, no worries! They can see who is available & work their character into the plot for that session.
ALSO, since his debut, the Ruzaders have worked to create amazing group projects, including a cocktail book, a compilation of short stories, and even a whole compendium reminiscent of a D&D hand book based on HOLOSTARS EN lore... AND RUZE HAS PRINTED HARD COPIES OF ALMOST EVERY PROJECT THAT HE HAS RECEIVED! He shows off some of his printed books in this stream:

There's a lot more that I can say about this man. He is a gremlin, sure, but he's also empathetic, perceptive, and down to earth. If anything comes of this, I just hope that more people take the chance to watch his streams and show him more support. Please spread the word that Crimzon Ruze is a great guy, and he and HOLOSTARS EN deserve the world!
oh man I was busy this last month and come back to Ruze losing by a hair :(
Vote Ruze if you can he's got the spirit of a gremlin but he's very thoughtful and considerate OR better yet go follow him on youtube or bluesky or twitter if you still use that horror alley.
He's an RP nerd who doesn't like scary stuff but played a horror game to uphold a promise to his fans.
He's got three cats he loves, and just recently showcased his love of bugs! Having him win this poll would be awesome, but if you can't vote for him, but want to support a really supportive guy go throw him a follow on youtube or his socials.
Some clips/streams of his content and why you should follow him:
He has a whole character lore he's been developing since he debut, of his axe carrying alters/personas of himself. They pop up sparingly at first making it like a fan activity to try and piece together their personalities and lore.
Since it has been about 3 years since his debut, we've had a better understanding but the archiving still goes on.
He's done things like have his alters do voice lines or be in games like tomodachi life, but a personal favorite are his Ruzebow (Spectrum of characters, since they each have a defining color to them) Karaoke, where he voice acts as each karacter singing songs.
When the Actor/Talent debut as Crimzon Ruze he didn't focus on singing, but since then has been training to sing, because the company he is contracted under is mostly known for "Idol" stuff, which has some over lap with sining. He's improved a lot, but is still learning. 🖍️
I could only find this Ruzebow Karaoke on short notice, but for a better idea of what I was describing (starts around 5:00):
His branch of English Male Identifying Vtubers had their first concert for free, of which you can find him sporting his Idol outfit, and singing with his English Holostars Co-Workers.
(Timestamps for Ruze singing parts below the link, there are some cutscenes inbetween the singing to world build the HoloStars lore for those interested in character lore.)

link to an earlier collage of posts and descriptions I made earlier on this poll contest covering how: he's very supportive of his fans, and an ally to the queer community, him being a cat dad, an an unhelpful guide to HoloStars EN-the male branch of vtubers he's a part of, and a cover song of one of his favorite songs his fans collaborated to make for his stage sake birthday date as Crimzon Ruze.
