Honestly in 2 years I can see subaru being the only member left of gen 2.Shion is basically a foot out the door and was really close to Aqua, I'm worried Gen 2 might be the first with 3 members.
I would not be surprised in the least if the Supas totaled well over 500k USD and that merch run will probably go deeper. With a full graduation + merch cycle, this decision was made months ago. Someone mentioned a previous hiatus this year? That's when the decision was finalized, more than likely. That's another wrinkle to this all. A lot of folks aren't built for environments where decisions have to be made 6+ months out. It feels extremely constraining to their personalities, which just increases the burnout.Wait for this month's superchat tally, if the talks are true, Hololive doesn't take their cuts on last streams.
Edit: Man all this, makes me worried a future where there's no Korone, Subaru, Marine, Pekora, or even Fauna.
Honestly, the most likely answer is yes. She is one of the people who got fucked by Cover retreating from it the most, she received a ton of hatred for it despite having absolutely nothing to do with it, and when she finally came to terms with it Cover just went "haha jk we are going back". So all the shit she went through was effectively for nothing. Give me rrats but it's likely there will be more graduations for the exact same reasonYes, we shouldn't speculate.
....It was the returning to the Chinese market thing, right?
I'm very concerned it might be the return to China. If that's the case, hopefully this isn't just the first to come.
Well we lost A-chan, so maybe that was the first domino.Honestly, the most likely answer is yes.

Thing is, while she's big, Hololive itself being so much bigger now takes pressure away from her. She used to carry Hololive on her back in 2019, she was its biggest star bar none.Minato Rratqua: Looks like being in Holo is just too much for her. The pressure of being "Minato Aqua" is just too much for her right now.
ngl, i am expecting you to fedposting againI'm so fucking tired man what the fuck
I really pray so too. Hololive is basically the last entertainment medium I like nowadays, and is basically the only thing outside of church and a job that really is keeping me sane in this world.Maybe this is the tribalist in me but I'm still going to hold up hope that this is just a difference in opinion between Aqua and management alone and not a major harbinger of things to come. If Fubuki jumps ship, then I'll admit defeat.
A collection of the Cover Vtubers will ride until they can no longer physically sit at a chair. If anyone knows the Babylon 5 ending where there is a ship sitting and watching as the Sun goes supernova billions of years from now, I can see Korone somehow still teasing Miko.Wait for this month's superchat tally, if the talks are true, Hololive doesn't take their cuts on last streams.

Just thinking about if Aqua may be the real canary in the minesIf Fubuki jumps ship, then I'll admit defeat.
I know exactly how you Aqua fans feel after my Apex gremlin oshi graduated. You have my condolences and hopes that she reincarnates soon. I still remember watching Aqua's solo master run in awe a couple years ago.I feel like I just lost my best friend.
Fuck.
It's a mixed bag for me. If she reincarnates, it will be great to see her again but it would be concerning that she just decided she doesn't want to stream under cover anymore.I know exactly how you Aqua fans feel after my Apex gremlin oshi graduated.

I was holding myself together until this. This made me realized how much this hurts. I should have known when she cancelled stream today. She never cancels unless it's for health or something serious. I feel like there's so much I want to say but I can't think of anything right now.
I'm just so damn tired.
Even if she does reincarnate, she will no longer be Aqua, she will never have the same interactions with Hololive.It's a mixed bag for me. If she reincarnates, it will be great to see her again but it would be concerning that she just decided she doesn't want to stream under cover anymore.
