A half-body lined illustration of Nikki, OC of Émi. They are in what looks like a laboratory with old shelves and bottles, a single lantern with blue fire lighting up the entire room. They stand before the viewer in a prideful gesture, a bottle of their latest work in hand.

I know it's not October yet... So I dunno how many people were thinkin' about it yet, But my 4th anni-birthday is in ~a month! Send your wishes here! 🦊🧡 → forms.gle/Z7Xmms8mwZjx3up98 ← My birthday is on 10/10! …See you there?

Hey @Hightailers! I know it's not October yet...
So I dunno how many people were thinkin' about it yet,
But my 4th anni-birthday is in ~a month!
-# 4 YEARS? YEAH 4. F O U R. That's double the average VTuber life expectancy...

Anyway, if you wanted to leave me a birthday wish-
Be it with a simple "Happy Birthday", or even a little doodle or gift,
I want to make every year worth remembering!

For other birthday streams, bringing in your voices and creations with thoughts and hopes for the year - ahead, past, or both - certainly makes it more memorable for me - and I hope for you guys too! So I hope you'll take part (KishiSilly Emote)

Here's the form!
https://forms.gle/Z7Xmms8mwZjx3up98
(we need your submission by **Wednesday, October 7, 2026** to give our editors time to review and edit!)

PLEASE KNOW...
Your wish doesn't need to be grand or elaborate or anything like that.
I'm happy just knowing you're here, and that you're having fun being part of the community (KishiHeart Emote)
