>>95462459for lan, she took 2 weeks off for picrel. but anyone familiar with her since before, it was obvios she was going to Japan to attend ALGS and meet up with other vtubers she knows. she also met up with Nocturnal, an apex pro/streamer, which isnt that surprising as she's a graphic designer for a lot of vtubers and fleshstreamers; she kept posting regularly on PL
kou mariya had announced an indefinite hiatus due to personal reasons a month ago
https://x.com/koumariya/status/1879295938839388512 https://youtu.be/4x2DJu0Ynyc . but then comes ph1sh (one of the many who went to ALGS, but she was open about it) and when mentioning the other vtubers she met up she let mariya's name slip. she put together a quick announcement about her hiatus reason getting better and returning sooner than anticipated, and that her trip was work related and she chose not to cancel it, but still went to ALGS for just one day
https://x.com/koumariya/status/1887719749272150337for elia. many anons have a hateboner, for reasons one could agree to a degree. she's the kind of vtuber who paints herself as pitiful and someone who is shy a d has trouble making friends, yet she spends half her time making trips to meet up with dozens of vtubers around the world, so it doesnt sit well with them. her being in ALGS when she's not the type of person to play this type of games is just one more instance of traveling to meet her friends
