October Recap ♡ [Exclusive] [Behind the Scenes] [Merch releases, fundraising, and more!] (Patreon)

(´｡• ᵕ •｡) ♡ Hey strawbabies! I usually do these rambling audios, but this month, I’m switching it up with a written version available for everyone. It’s just been one of those months with a lot going on, and I hope this is an acceptable alternative for you all. So, let’s dive into everything that happened in October! 💖

🎉 October 1st - Twitch Partnership Anniversary!

We celebrated three amazing years since I became a Twitch partner! 🎊 It’s wild because, on one hand, it feels like it’s flown by, but on the other hand, it feels like it’s been way longer... A massive thank you to everyone who supports me on Twitch, as well as my YouTube and Patreon channels. You’ve all made so many incredible memories possible! 💕

🧙‍♀️ Plushie Release!

Also on October 1st, we launched the adorable Strawb Witch plushie with Makeship! 🌸 I’m so happy with how it turned out, and I’m thrilled to share that we hit the minimum sale requirement of 200 orders! Just a reminder, tomorrow (on Halloween) is the last day to grab one, so if you haven’t yet, make sure to do it before they’re gone for good! 🎃✨

🎶 ASMR Parade on October 12th 

I participated in the ASMR Parade hosted by Pillowdear! It was such a fantastic event featuring tons of ASMR creators, including my own 4-5 minute clip. A huge thank you to Pillowdear for inviting me and organizing such an amazing collaboration! You can find it on Pillowdear’s YouTube channel. I’ll also be uploading my portion to my Patreon soon for everyone, including the free tiers! 💖

💖 Fundraising Success!  

With the help of my incredible community, we raised over $600 for Hurricane Helene relief! 🌊 Thank you to everyone who came out to support the fundraiser on my Twitch streams—it was truly amazing to see that level of generosity! We have also raised a good amount of money for Halloween candy for kids! I'll be posting photos of the candy & possibly even my costume tomorrow! If you'd like to donate to the cause, you can still do it until tomorrow afternoon here: https://ko-fi.com/darlingstrawb/goal?g=32 🙌

🎨 Art Contest Updates

I received some awesome new entries for my art contest! 🎉 For those who don’t know, I’m hosting a contest for my new VTuber model design, with a deadline of November 25th, 2024. There’s an $800 prize pool, so if you’re interested, all the important info is available at https://bit.ly/strawbsprincesscontest. Can’t wait to see your submissions! ✨

🎁 Exciting Sponsorship!

We also had our first-ever sponsorship by YumeTwins! 🎃 They sent over a Halloween box filled with super cute Sanrio items, mainly cute Kuromi items. They’ll be sponsoring my channel for the next couple of months, so if you’re interested in getting a box, don’t forget to use my code “darlingstrawb” for $5 off each order! 💕 https://bit.ly/darlingstrawbb

🎥 Transformers One HYPE

On a personal note, I watched Transformers: One in theaters, and oh my gosh, it was incredible! 💖 As a huge Transformers fan, this movie was a perfect blend of humor, action, and powerful moments. The animation was stunning, and it truly felt like the best origin story I could’ve asked for. I left the theater sobbing, and I’m still not over it. If you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a favor and check it out—10/10 for sure! 🌟

🤗 Meet & Greet Fun

Rev and I did our collab Tsumicon meet-and-greet on October 26th, and it was an absolute blast! A big thank you to AraCulture for organizing everything. We had an entire hour to meet our community members, and it was so heartwarming to see so many familiar faces! Thank you for coming!! I hope to do even more of these events in the future! 🥰

🍭 New ADVANCEDgg Spooky Drop

To wrap up the month, we released a new line with ADVANCEDgg! 🎉 I was thrilled when they wanted to work with us on more holiday drops, and this one exceeded my expectations. The art is beautiful, and my new flavor—strawberry scream ramune—is veryyyy delicious! 🍓 Don’t miss out—use code STRAWB for 10% off! https://advanced.gg/pages/partner-strawb?ref=strawb

💖 Thank You!

This month has been a bit challenging for me, especially with some personal family stuff weighing on my mind. The back half of the month felt a little slower than I would’ve liked, but I’m just doing my best, and I know that’s all anyone wants from me. Please let me know how you felt about this written text post and if it is something you'd like to see more in the future!

Thank you all for your continued support and for being such an amazing community! I really look forward to spending more time with you again next month! 💕
