Battling Demons on Stream and in Life

Written by Mori Calliope on Sat Oct 21 2023

Hey there my little reapers, it's your girl Mori Calliope here! Today, I wanted to open up and share a little bit about the battles I face both on stream and in life. You see, being a hololive English v-tuber may seem like all fun and games (and trust me, it mostly is), but there are times when even this grim reaper has her fair share of struggles.

The Battle Begins

When I first picked up the scythe - metaphorically speaking of course - and became part of hololive English, I never expected just how much support you all would give me. It was overwhelming in the best possible way. But with that support came certain expectations; expectations to be tough and unyielding at all times.

Hiding Behind My Reaper Persona

As many of you know by now, my online persona is one that exudes toughness and resilience. After all, who wouldn't want a fierce grim reaper as their idol? But what most people don't realize is that behind this facade lies someone who feels deeply for her fans.

I've always been more comfortable expressing myself through music than words alone. That's why rapping has become such an integral part of my streams. Through lyrics filled with emotion and vulnerability hidden beneath layers of rhythmical beats, I'm able to connect with you on another level entirely.

Battling Demons Together

But let's not forget that life itself can be quite challenging too – especially for us VTubers who spend so much time streaming our lives away! We each have our own personal demons to battle off-stream as well: self-doubt creeping into our minds when we least expect it or feeling overwhelmed by societal pressures put upon us because we're different from others around us.

It’s moments like these where having supportive friends becomes crucially important...

Friends Who Understand

You guys...my fellow hololive English members, are my rock. I can always count on you to lift me up when I'm feeling down or remind me why I do what I do in the first place. You all understand that even though we're virtual personalities, our emotions and struggles are very real.

The Power of Music

Music has been a constant source of strength for me throughout my life. Whether it's through creating beats or writing lyrics that resonate with others, there's something truly magical about how music brings people together.

And so, whenever I find myself battling demons in my personal life – those nagging thoughts telling me that maybe this VTuber thing isn't worth it after all –I turn to music as an escape from reality. It allows me to express those innermost feelings and connect with all of you on a deeper level than ever before.

Appreciating My Fans

My little reapers...you have no idea just how much your support means to me. Every kind message, every fanart shared during streams - they light up my day like nothing else can! Your unwavering love helps keep the darkness at bay and gives meaning to everything that we do here at hololive English.

It’s because of you guys that streaming feels less like a job and more like hanging out with friends who genuinely care about each other's wellbeing...

Conclusion: Together We Conquer All Demons!

As the battle rages on both on stream and in life itself, remember this: we don't have to fight alone. We have each other; united by our love for gaming streams, rap battles filled with emotion, and most importantly - appreciating one another as fans/friends/collaborators/supporters/lovers-of-all-things-Mori-Calliope!

So let us continue fighting side by side against these demons whether they be internal or external until victory is ours! And remember...no matter how tough things may get, you always have a reaper by your side. Stay strong, my little reapers!
