[Sticky] Due to illness, the world says goodbye to Hololive's Nanashi Mumei. This is Mumei’s legacy in Internet History and the tributes her inspired fans made.

Due to the size and the scope of the story involved, this will be a larger piece than I thought it was going to be at first. Just due to novelist OCD, I had several parts that required multiple rewrites to do the story of the character and her fans the "Hoomans" any proper level of service. I severely underestimated the number of clipper bits, fan art, fan videos, fan music and even the basic complexity of the story involved. The deeper I looked, the deeper the rabbit hole went, until we were way past Wonderland. We will only be using a small fraction of that media to tell this story. I will have to build this for people who know nothing about Hololive or Vtubers. I will make sure it does justice to the Hooman fans and the humanity of the person who played this character. Haunt2003.com is the 5th website and service provider for my own MMO PVP guild. With tens of thousands of hours lost from various companies shutting down website operations, we are well aware that nothing on the internet lasts forever, in the place it was first placed. That said, I consider this work on my own part community property, so if you desire, it can be saved or reposted anywhere and in any language. Anything used within is considered Fair Use, because it is a real part of Internet History that was experienced internationally by millions of people. This is thread not a comparison to people in the Hololive company that have left. For those that have moved on to private projects, we have posted a thread on them and where you can find them here:This is also not a comparison to Mumei's active Hololive friends or their fandoms. Learning about this story made me appreciate how much those fandoms have become nervous about their own favorite entertainers. Deadbeats are trying to get workaholic Mori Calliope to take more breaks. KFP is constantly trying to keep Takahashi Kiara's spirits up. The list goes on, you see more and more examples as you look through each fandom. It also made me appreciate how much the people leaving and the people that stay hate these events. There are very few jobs where people can say they were really friends with the people they worked with. There are many positives too that. That said, it makes it that much harder when someone you respect and bonded with eventually leaves. So, to sum this story up, a good person's dream has died, because of health reasons completely beyond their control. Because of the damage to Mumei's vocal cords, she have had to step away from her a dream job and doing what she loved the most. The lady who played Mumei may never be able to return to Vtubing. So, let's take a second to honor what she accomplished, as well as, the global network of fans that adored her. We will include in that the art she inspired from those fans. We will also include their own words of what they thought of her and the difference that a lady, they never personally met, made in many of their lives, often in some of those fan's personal darkest moments. As a honor to the Guardian of Civilization she played, we will also metaphorically explain these moments and what they meant to her fans with famous quote nods to: pop culture, current culture, literature, and the voices of the past. After all, Nanashi Mumei was not just just a representation of humanity with all of its common merits and flaws. The Guardian of Civilization was also literally a symbol of the very best the human race has been and can be. That is true today and that is true throughout all of recorded history... "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts..." William Shakespeare's "As You Like It", Act II, Scene VII

Just as Fauna was trying to claim she's an anime girl and she has no snot, Mumei admits to having to use nasal spray and Fauna then starting to open up, Gura's flemmy sounding sneeze couldn't have been better timed :'''D
Absolutely broke me into tears of laughter.

The SNOT gang are always the best. All four of them have a excellent chemistry with each other all around. Which is why they are my favourite group in Hololive.

Fauna gaslighting Kronii and Mumei about the spongebob vampirism episode was a master class in improv comedy.
That whole stream was great though. SNOT have amazing chemistry.

Considering how many humans as of recently have an aversion to touching grass, either Civilization is influencing us or we’re influencing her xD

You can be minorly allergic to things, I am also allergic to cats but only after I pet them and touch my eyes or get scratched I'll get slightly itchy eyes and throat for about 30 minutes. Thankfully that allows me to have one without issue

"Pricking" sounds pretty nice. I did an allergy test way back then when I was a kid, and I'd rather say that they "shovel" my skin rather than "pricked". Basically they do a shallow stab with a syringe and then yank out the skin the way you'd shovel up dirt. They do the same thing to test for medicine allergies.
And out of 24 allergies that they tested me with, I got 13 of them positive.

This is the first time in the company that a graduated talent appeared AFTER graduation. Damn this is a very nice surprise. A treat. And yes I am aware that this was recorded sometime before Sana's graduation.
