Emergency entry into my [late] VTuber Drawtober prompts for outgoing VTuber Pomu Rainpuff!
I'm gonna miss Pomu. A lot. She's a genuine legend in VTubing and my first oshi not from Hololive for how contagious her passion is. I hope success finds her wherever she ends up next in life!
I didn't pull Pomu out of my list of names for Drawtober last year, but let's pretend I did X3
Context: In her first Metal Gear-related stream (Metal Gear Rising), she mentioned she played violin in high school, so this is a reference to that. (She's also mentioned playing flute before, and has played autoharp on stream too!) While explaining the story of how she knew the song Heavens Divide, she mentioned singing the solo vocals for that song in her school orchestra instead of playing violin.
She was also wearing her then-new Maid Pomu outfit during that stream, plus a headband asset she drew for Metal Gear. The Maid outfit is still one of my favorite model designs PERIOD, not just among Pomu's outfits (which I all like for one reason or another). It feels like such a love letter to Pomu's passion for idol and maid culture in a way that's uniquely her own. Her mama did an incredible job on all four of her models!
In a complete tonal shift from the last one, I landed on World's Smallest Violin! XD
I think maybe "wish that made it easier, wish I didn't feel the hurt" because my gods despite it being a banger I can actually relate to this song a fair bit
