I got really excited and drew all the Fear and Hunger Termina contestants as Dinosaurs. Bonus points to those that know the species.

Kaeru Kobold-Dear Tumblr #5

OOOF. My last update was on the 19th, it's currently 10pm 1/5. I really need to get over this procrastination. So the holidays were fun and busy for me, Christmas and New Years Day has gone by. I'm going to start streaming again on Monday, I still need to finish the schedule. Still haven't found a new job, but I've been told it's a hard time of year for it, so hopefully now that the holiday season is over my luck will change. I really need it to because I currently have just over $6 in my bank account. I need to start coming up with ideas for Youtube and Youtube Shorts/Tiktok content. I'm also going to take more pics in VRChat for my Instagram. Haven't hopped on VR at all in a hot second. Thank you for reading this relatively short one, see you next time! -Kaeru Kobold

Dear Tumblr, Sorry it's been several days since my last update, I didn't mean for that to happen but oh well. It's currently 11:52am 12/19/23. I haven't had much luck finding a job unfortunately. I've been putting in applications/submitting my resume like crazy. My Debut is tomorrow, I set up my desk, did some fidgeting with the VSeeFace settings, edited my slideshow, made a practice Debut video in OBS, got a streamer-friendly Lofi playlist to play during the Q&A and Gaming segment. I'm so ready for this, though I am nervous, and also a little disheartened at how little support I've received leading up to the Debut. Maybe I could be better at marketing myself....It's just.....really hard. I did get a small commission recently which is good. I really wish I could get more commissions, it would be really helpful, and I just like doing them. I've taken in a lot of advice from various creators that sometimes you just have to stream to 0 viewers for a while and work on building your community and content over time. Patience is the key, I suppose. I really want this to turn out well. I hope people come to my Debut.... With lots of Love, Kaeru Kobold

Kaeru Kobold-Dear Tumble #3

Dear Tumblr, right now it's 9:00pm, 12/14/23. I ended up skipping doing an entry for yesterday by accident, my apologies. I have now made 2 pieces of fanart for two of my favorite streamers, with plans to do more. I also made a banner for my X/Twitter, and might use it for other places as well. I finally figured out how to fix an issue where I couldn't find and save my VRChat photos, now I can, so I'm going to start taking more for social media posts-I already have an idea for a post tomorrow morning ^w^ I also cried again today due to stress with our finances and the fact that I still haven't found a job. I really, really hope I see the success I'm so desperate for. All I want is to live comfortably off my art and content, and contribute instead of feeling like a burden to my boyfriend. 5 days to my debut, the countdown begins! <3

Rest in peace Captain Holt 😔

Wednesday, December 13.

Andre Braugher, 1962-2023.

We are saddened by the news that actor Andre Braugher has passed away, aged 61, after a brief illness. But we are glad to celebrate the life and work of this deep-voiced, deadpan legend with a wealth of wonderful tributes from across the dashboard—as Tumblr pays tribute to this biggest, warmest of hearts the only way it knows how. Oh Captain, Our Captain.

Kaeru Kobold-Dear Tumblr #2

Dear Tumblr,

I am very excited about some new developments today! I took a break from working on my lore Debut video, I think it's a much more ambitious project than warranted for just starting out, not sure if I will finish it or scrap it. Instead I spent all day today creating a very fun and interesting promotional video announcing my official Debut date, here's hoping it mayyybe goes viral on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Youtube, or even here on Tumblr where I'll be posting it! That would be cool. Not gonna get my hopes up too high though. In other happy news, I have a phone interview tomorrow, fingers crossed it goes well. A new job would be really good right now, even if it leaves less time to work towards my Debut. This entry isn't as long as the first one which is a good thing, and I'm also writing it much earlier, It's currently 7:38pm 12/12/23 as I write this. Trying to stay optimistic for the future, whatever comes my way. With lots of love, Kaeru Kobold

Kaeru Kobold-Dear Tumblr #1

I finally decided what I'm going to do with this Tumblr Account! Aside from the typical reposts of my art, self-promotion and such, I'm going to use it primarily as a live, public diary of my adventure in Vtubing, streaming and content creation, so here goes my very first entry. I think I'm going to try to do this daily, at the very least I'll make one weekly and on big events.

Dear Tumblr,

it's currently 1:22 AM, 12/11/23. I've been interested in becoming a Vtuber for roughly a year now, and have slowly done tons of research, watched hours of Vtuber content for fun and advice, built up art and assets, came up with a new Sona design, customized models, and have spent hours upon hours of work making art and assets related to that goal. Boy they really don't tell you how much work it is to be a streamer/content creator, especially when you're broke and doing it all by yourself. Speaking of broke... I'm currently out of work, money is very low, and I'm very stressed out. I made the mistake of leaving my old job for a new one that I hoped would be a good opportunity, but I had to leave on day one for moral and public health reasons I won't get into. I have put in dozens of applications the last two weeks and have mainly only received automated emails; I have done 2 Zoom interviews for two different jobs, and then was never given a call or email back. My old job won't take me back for reasons beyond me. I admitted this in an OkayDonuts stream a day or so ago, and he said similar issues motivated him to start streaming. This gives me so much hope that I can have the great community and career success that he has that I so desire-If he could do it, so can I! Right? I just really like making stuff, I've always liked learning new techniques both physical and digital; crochet, clay sculpting, wood carving, painting, graphic design, 3D modelling/Texturing, game design. I wasn't good at much as a kid, but art was my passion, and the best part was seeing how happy it made other people. I just want to make cool things that make people happy and create a community of similarly creative people to share our passions and bring more kindness and cool creations into the world. I don't want to be an uber rich Mr. Beast level celebrity, I just want to make enough that I don't need a menial job I suffer at. Simply making a decent living in this world off my art would be a blessing, it would be so much better for my mental health. Speaking of which, if you're reading this....did you know I take commissions? Please commission me, I hungy :'( But seriously, as of writing this, I have $43.20 in my bank account. My phone bill alone is $45. My partner and I have family support, so we'll get by ok, but the struggle and having to ask for help is really getting to me. On the bright side, since we should count our blessings- I have a really nice microphone since my partner tried streaming a couple years ago and is letting me use it whenever I need! I have a really good laptop from my college days that can run everything I need without getting TOO overwhelmed. I have a really good drawing tablet that I bought a couple years ago when I was doing a little better financially (It's much easier to save money when you're living with your parents and work 40 hours a week for $13/hr and your parents pay for everything) Losing my job may be a blessing in disguise because In my stress I have gone into a manic state and began going crazy getting my custom stream Overlays done, fully animated Stream Opening, BRB and Closing Screens, stinger transition animation, a functioning PNGTuber, and multiple drawings/animations for alerts/emotes/rewards/etc. and yes that includes things I didn't know I needed to be a Twitch Affiliate to even use...lol...I'm currently working on an animated lore video for my debut that I will also record a voice-over for. Lastly, a more recent thing-My partner found a gamer chair in the dumpster at our apartment last week after I had spent a couple months trying to find one-the cheapest ones on Facebook Marketplace in our area were like $80-and it's in near perfect condition, only a bit of scuff/rip on the seat and arm rests. How crazy is that? I gave it a good scrub-down and its good to go. I choose to take that as a sign from the universe that I'm on the right path. Wish me luck! With lots of love, Kaeru Kobold
