I'm so wronged.
In the whole world, is there another VTuber as wronged as me?
I proudly claimed victory in a holy war—a religious conflict between proxies of the gods that could have upended the fate of the world itself.
And what did I get in return? Not flowers and applause, but a plunge into the abyss and a feast of leg cam demands in chat.
Someone might say, "Who skips streams because they don't want to do them?"
I didn't skip them. I couldn't.
Who should I blame?
One thing's for sure—it's not my fault.
I was just swept along by the waves.
They asked me to help resolve the Anomalous Phenomenon, so I did.
They told me to catch a Fervent Devotee on my own, so I did... and a whole day had passed.
So, not a single bit of this is my fault.
...Of course, if I'd obediently listened when Reflecting Myriad Stars told me not to enter that haunted house, I wouldn't have had to miss the stream.
But then who would've caught the Fervent Devotee?
Even if we turned back time, I'd do the exact same thing.
Well...
I missed streams on Friday and Saturday—prime golden time—so yeah, from the devotees' perspective, they had every right to be mad.
I offered my sincere apologies.
"Anyway, I'm sorry. I really am sorry... but I had my reasons."
💬 Chat — Anonymous Your excuses are bullshit — Anonymous Explain yourself!!!! — Anonymous Explain the 45-hour blackout — Anonymous Explain — Anonymous Ex — Anonymous plain — Anonymous Ex — Anonymous Give me back my weekend waaaaaaaaaah — Anonymous Reasons? Fuuuuck fuuuuck fuuuuck The devotees were pissed off because, to be precise...
I'd ghosted the stream for 45 hours straight without any prior notice.
If I'd just posted a quick "No stream today" on the fan cafe, it probably wouldn't have blown up this bad.
Plus, doing a half-assed two-hour stream and smugly claiming "I kept my promise to stream every day" must've rubbed them the wrong way.
...Fair enough.
Yesterday's stream, I was so exhausted I was super low-energy.
I just messed around in the cafe for two hours and ended it. So yeah.
I get why they're raging.
But I'm wronged too.
Inside the haunted house, time flowed differently, and there was no cell signal, so I couldn't post any notices.
I can't exactly tell the devotees that straight-up.
What a frustrating situation.

— Anonymous Ten times is bullshit lolololol — Anonymous You're saying you'll keep doing it dude — Anonymous Crazy bitch — Anonymous Be?have? — Anonymous That's behaving? lol Anomalous Phenomena are full of variables, so no one knows when something like this might happen again.
Luckily, the devotees weren't genuinely furious.

Ugh.
It was pure WWE chaos.
They wanted leg cam, so they spammed me into lying down for a wrestling move.
If the devotees call for a move...
Accepting it is just streamer etiquette, right?
No, forget etiquette—if I didn't take the move, this endless WWE would've dragged on forever.
But honestly, leg cam feels like overkill no matter how I slice it.
Leg cam is for milestones like 50k or 200k followers.
I didn't want to do it just to appease the crowd.
Any devotee who's watched my streams regularly knows I avoid leg cam.
Why are they so obsessed with it today?
"Did you all get orders from some smear campaign to spam leg cam? No way, nope. Even if I'm in the wrong, leg cam is a step too far."
— Anonymous No way you're skipping this? — Anonymous Leg cam or bust. — Anonymous Kraaaaaaaaah, my divine power pouch storage!!!! — Anonymous Ao who was it in the cafe stirring shit with "Scratch the streamer today and we might get leg cam"?? She's not doing it! "...Hold up. Was there actually some psycho who posted that?"

Click.
Click click.
I hopped into the fan cafe and checked the popular posts. Sure enough, there was one agitator post.
Title: What if we scratch the streamer today and get leg cam?
Content:
Let's go.
If we harass the streamer hard today and land a move, maybe she'll turn on leg cam to win back the fans?
Idea hit me mid-shit.
What do you think, fellow devotees?
Comments:
[This is it]
[Are you a genius?]
[Harvard?]
[Will we have the firepower?]
[If we unite, she might actually go for it.]

"Manager, why haven't you banned this asshole yet? This is dereliction of duty!"
⭐ Manager — Grace of Myriad Stars' Gaze It's fun lol "..."
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ — Anonymous lololololol — Anonymous No words lolololol — Anonymous Lips sealed ON. — Anonymous ??? : If it's fun, it's fine. — Anonymous ??? : Fun trumps lines crossed. (Actual quote) The one rule for moderation in my stream chat and fan cafe?
"Is it fun?"
If it doesn't make readers uncomfortable and it's entertaining, we overlook minor line-crossing.
That's the policy I've stuck to since my early days.
This agitator's post was just playful trolling, not serious incitement.
Like the manager said, it's fun—so it doesn't violate the rules.
A bit annoyed, I started venting at an innocent target.
"I told you, manager—no chatting during streams."
⭐ Manager — Grace of Myriad Stars' Gaze But boss, you talked to me first "Then answer in your head! How dare you type in chat? This is a breach of your manager duties!"
— Anonymous What do you want us to do lolololol — Anonymous Why so vicious today lolololol — Anonymous Extra vicious today... — Anonymous You started it then blame blame blame blame — Anonymous Scary... — Anonymous Manager ham ㅠㅠㅠㅠ — Anonymous Lee Jia's manager your fault eat it sweet. "Anyway, no leg cam. I mean, I can't. I'm a VTuber, okay? Drop the leg cam talk."
[Myriad Stars Devotee donated 5,000 won.] So what now? [Anonymous donated 3,000 won.] WWE failed? [Wrestling Expert donated 10,000 won.] Weird, we totally landed the move... Shouldn't you take it by now? Hm... In the end...
I agreed with the devotees to pick one punishment content to smooth things over.
It wasn't like I'd truly fallen into hell, and they weren't seriously mad anyway.
But in the end, this was content too.
I brainstormed punishment ideas.
Spitball whatever comes to mind.
"How about a game no-mic run? Soulslike boss no-mic. Whaddya think?"
— Anonymous Kraaaaaaaaah — Anonymous That's a bit... — Anonymous Please anything but that — Anonymous That's not punishment for you it's torture for us — Anonymous No games pleeeease...... — Anonymous Content that shatters devotees' teeth? [From Souls Gal donated 1,000 won.] Not joking, declare soulslike no-mic and it's 2 weeks no stream lockdown. "...I'll cancel that."
I was arrogant.
Soulslikes are infamous for their insane difficulty—no declaring no-mic lightly.
But me...
I might actually have talent for soulslikes.
Not no-mic level.
Should try it as content later.
"Hate games? How about a song?"
— Anonymous You did that last time. — Anonymous Leg cam or bust — Anonymous Hm...... — Anonymous Not quite leg cam tier ㅇㅇ; — Anonymous What VTuber sings as punishment lol — Anonymous Ayase ham sings all the time even without punishment ㅇㅇ No to this.
No to that.
"What do you want from me?"
— Anonymous Leg cam — Anonymous Leg cam — Anonymous Boob cam. — Anonymous Show divine power pouch heh heh heh heh "..."
Every conversation looped back to leg cam.
I said no.
I'm not crazy—I shouldn't have done leg cam even at 50k followers.
As I pondered what content to do...
I suddenly recalled the chat with the staff before starting the stream.
...A dance stream, huh.
A dance stream might not be such a bad punishment content after all.
Motion capture is all about showing viewers how natural my movements are.
So, like the staff said, nothing beats a dance stream for maxing out mocap potential at 200%.
No matter how acrobatic, mocap can nail it perfectly.
And above all...
Just because it's a dance stream doesn't mean I have to do something cringey or embarrassing.
That was my preconception: "Dance = sexy dance."
Just pick a normal dance or a trendy short-form one, show some casual practice footage, and the devotees would love it.
Yeah.
Decided.
I'll take the staff's advice to heart.
"Lemme prep the mocap real quick."
