Regis Altare is my kamioshi of HOLOSTARS. Currently, he is on hiatus due to his mental health. When will he return? Will he ever return? I know I have been absent from the Starmin (Tempura/Armada) social media for a long time now, but I do have a habit of lurking around for our boys’ latest news/updates. I’m still waiting for all HOLOSTARS to get a Bluesky account, and I do hope they do the migration one day if they can.
But honestly, I really haven’t been active. I participated in some birthday events with the boys, but other than that, my presence has been pretty much non-existent. Even when Altare was still active, I haven’t been really watching his livestreams, nor even respond to his clips or tweets. Real life of being a single adult can really take a lot of time, too. Plus, I’ve gotten into other interests as well, such as with video games and even watching some anime. Then again, it’s not even about Altare. It’s basically everyone at HOLOSTARS.
This doesn’t mean that I’ll forget about them or that I’ll stop supporting them. I’m leaning more towards becoming a silent supporter without mingling with the fandom. That’s also not to say that I would start ignoring the Starmin friends I’ve made in these few years. However, there have been so much tensions that I just really couldn’t take anymore. Don’t get me started with those toxic unicorns and haters. They have no place within the fandom of any kind.
What I’m trying to say here is that I’m already heading out the exit door. My love for HOLOSTARS will still be here, but being active in the fandom social media or even make my presence known will probably become non-existent. Other than the friends I’ve made these years, no one really knows me or my name anyway. Some of the people I’ve met have made a lot of contributions to the fandom that made them highly recognized among fellow fans. And then there are people who sound desperate for the clout that they become loud and obnoxious so that everyone gives attention to them. But most of all, as of late, I just don’t see myself being able to fit with the fandom anymore.
My kamioshi and the vTubers I watch acknowledge me in chat, even if I rarely say much. But everywhere else? I’m just another admirer. I even thought about the existence of this site1 and wonder if I should keep this open. I’ve been a lot more active at the holoplus+ app anyway, so in some ways, I keep myself up to date.
I guess this means that this is the end of my HOLOSTAR fandom. I still hope and pray for the boys, especially Altare. I’m still wishing and hoping for more blessings and bright futures for them. Only this time, I’ll be in silence.
Maybe I’ll continue blogging more after this one, I guess. Till then!
- I still have doubts people come here anyway, so I lose motivation to blog… [↩]
