It's almost Mumei's birthday and I just want to unload my feelings here.
Mumei is literally me. She's my self-insert. I love watching her have fun and have fun with everyone else in hololive, since it's almost like she's telling me that I can do that to. I can't of course, but when Mumei's out there shining like a star, it feels like I'm part of that. I don't know why I feel so proud of her achievements and happiness. It's just that when I saw her on that stage in Connect the World, I cried. Everyone was cheering and I was just silently crying. Tears of happiness. Wow, look at that, there's someone like me, but she's making it. And what more, Mumei kind of shares that happiness with me. It's hard to articulate. I can't really explain it.
I've followed her since her debut since watching an awkward girl do her best despite clearly being out of her element was funny. Can she really do it? Can she keep it up? But at some point, I started wishing her the best. And now my heart cheers when she shows even a little bit of happiness. It's not even love, maybe. It's just that Mumei! Mumei! Mumei, I don't know!
I don't even know why I like her this much now. It's not like I like vtubers in general. Maybe the best way to word this is that we share the same sensibilities? And through that, I can genuinely share her happiness. Fuck, her tastes and interests are so far out with my own. But she's still amazing. Mumei is like the best friend I've never had. It's just... fun listening to her talking about the most random shit. It might be unhealthy to think like this, but it's one of the things that lets me keep on going on. At least I've got something to look forward to. So maybe one day, I can take her example and shine on my own instead.
Happy birthday moomsters.
