Farewell messages to Vesper Noir

Hi, Vesper! I really wanted to say thank you for the number of comfy streams you have. Most days are a treat whenever I see clips of you talking about something random (or at least something unexpected on my end). Like learning that you love camping, hiking, getting a spear, you walking around during a big storm, and you going on your bike - disappearing into the night - just got me hooked. By the way, I have to say that your birthday merch is so awesome! Great timing because I was looking for a tea set. I hope you're having a really good day while sipping your tea... Now I remember you putting a coin in a teacup. Thank you for doing karaoke streams and for releasing your latest cover song! They're a blessing to every Vestie listening. Your voice is amazing! I'm going to miss you saying "I don't hate you" whenever you go on break, and everyone spamming "He hates us!" in the chat. To be honest, I love how you interact with chat. It's so fun. It's like we're part of the stream. I don't know how else to describe it. Thank you, Vespapa, for being such a positive vibe for Vesties. I gained confidence being part of a fandom project because of you. I wanted to greet you on your birthday. I got so hyped up and made a Vestie in yarn form. Also, speaking of yarn, I want to tell you that I'm selling stuff at conventions. I was always just a con-goer or a lurker in most fandoms, but this time, I got the confidence to make stuff! I sell mostly crochet keychains. I made a bad Vestie in crochet form during your birthday... But I promise, next con, I will make a good Vestie, and I will show it off! The Philippine Vesties love you, Vespapa! Advance Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope you have the best year and have a very good year next year, too! - nanabmon

Hi Vesper! I hope you're doing well. Thank you so much for everything, Gramps. Your streams, your tangents, your stories, your rants – they're all a blast. I really had fun! I hope you had fun, too. I will never forget your plastic ball story and I will always cherish that. I wish you nothing but the best, Gramps! We love you! You will always be our one and only resident scholar! May you have fun in your next adventure. Take good care of yourself always! <3

I remember I was about to start my last semester of college when Tempus debuted. Usually it took me a week to really get involved, but Tempus was different, and you especially were the first person I immediately declared as my oshi. As the months went on I found myself being more motivated to finish college and better myself in small ways because I wanted to tell you about what I did. I didn’t have money to spare so I couldn’t send superchats, and I was always busy so I couldn’t interact with chat or anything, so the moment never came, even on my birthday when I wanted to send a birthday message (again, too poor so that’s on me only, not you). I still kept going though, because I would imagine you and the other boys cheering me on, and it helped a lot on tougher days. I admire the things you did too, like how streaming helps with your social anxiety and going to Japan for work. Yes, the trip itself was probably a wild ride but going to a foreign country while only kind of knowing the language, especially Japan, is something I’ve always wanted to do but was too afraid to do so. I think Japan is a beautiful country, so while I may not have the hiking willpower, maybe it’s an idea I shouldn't toss away just yet. That and honestly just you being here made me think more of things I value for myself, something I’ve had to brush aside to be more “reasonable”, and it started rekindling my own dreams and aspirations slowly but surely. Creativity and art is vital for life in my opinion, and I can’t thank you or anyone enough for bringing that back to me. It’s not like I’m gonna stop now though. I might as well keep going and keep making you and the boys proud. And myself, that too, haha. Have fun with Sana up in the stars! Or in that cabin in the woods with great internet, or Antarctica, or wherever else you go. And thank you again, for everything.
