THE END?

I was on the verge of quitting, but the Queen arrived just in time.

Today is the last day of my first ever plush campaign, and as predicted, we didn't reach the minimum for it to go into production. I was going to announce my plan to venture into live-streaming and make a Fruit Vtuber IF we somehow managed to hit the goal, but looks like that won't be necessary.

I realized the campaign reflects the state of this channel.

Even with your continuous love and support, it's still far from the goal of this channel being a sustainable work. Looking back this year, I've opened channel membership, uploaded more frequently, tried to be more engaging...

...But nothing seems to change.

I thought if I put more effort, things will work out, only to fall between two stools. All these while I've forgotten that I'm working alone, and my ability is limited. I felt defeated, depressed... Maybe it's time I look for a better paying job?

That is why I described this channel as a dying tree. I was too naive to hope for a miracle, that this tree will bear fruit once more... Until the Queen enlightened me.

"This tree is dead. Why not plant a new one?"

The Queen whispered this to me around 2:30am on December 1st, while I was taking a breather outside, thinking how to do the video. Such a simple statement, yet it landed a critical hit.

Plant a new tree, see how it used to be.

I need to shift my focus, set a different goal, revert back to the time when I would create videos just because I enjoyed it. I was able to make this in 2 days, I still got this.

That being said, I will continue this for another year, to making everything that's piled up in my mind. After that... we'll see.

If you read until here, comment "THANKS QUEEN" and I'll be sure to leave a heart ;)

======================================
By the way, did the background music sound familiar? It's actually the very first music I composed, and the Fruit's theme is a sped up version of it.

"Midnight Rain" by Lychee Chong

Best listened with the rain. The Fruit's theme is called "Fuzzy Rain" but I didn't upload that to keep the exclusiveness huehue

======================================
Lastly, it's not the end!
We're still collaborating with GimmeSwag to create wonderful little things.

Thank you so much for your time and support!

I thought you were going to end your YouTube channel I was so scared I started to cry in class! 😭😭😭 Also Thanks Queen! 😭🥺

[Hashieeeee]

Thanks queen

up to this point I've been happy to support a channel that had once brought me immense comfort in my early teens. Even if I can't always participate in the events I don't mind continuing my support with the little bit I can offer. I hope you find something new you enjoy and within that new path find a newer audience that will enjoy said thing. It's never the end, there are only new beginnings!

Thanks, Queen.
I apologize that I couldn't help with the plush campaign either, but you will still have my monthly membership though. Your videos have always been wonderful, I am sure that we will all love whatever you are going to feel like posting.

THANKS QUEEN

Never give up, Lychee. You're destined to do great things. I know it. Watching you grow and thrive. I remember watching your first Cweepypasta when I was in elementary school. I graduated high school this year and I still find myself coming back. You gave me a memory that I don't think will ever fade. If the end of this journey of yours is near, I'm glad to be here for it. The start of your next journey, I'll be there too.

THANKS QUEEN!

I wanted to write sweet unique words like the others, but everything has already been said-
But I will say this... I LOVE this channel and your amazing work, it helped me get up when I was down... Whatever you decide to do in the future, I will support you! ^^

[ThePastaMiner]

thanks queen!
your channel has been a special part of my life for the past many years. i started watching your videos when i was about 12, and, now that i'm 19, it feels like i've grown up with your channel. your animations are so, so special to me and so many others. i can't wait to see it flourish. much love. <3

[CandzeeKitu]

Thanks Queen

I’m sorry the campaign didn’t work out and that I wasn’t able to help by summoning a fruit plush myself. T-T
But that doesn’t mean that all is doom and gloom, cuz you’ve been and still are a big inspiration for me and many others. I’ve actually been a long time fan before this account of mine was created since probably 2017, so much so you’re probably one of the main reasons I love creepypasta so much hahah :’D
And you’ve worked so hard this year by working on all these videos and postcard ater coming back, even that is also very admirable. Maybe for now it’s not possible to have a succesful plush campain, but maybe in the future if you keep up with what you’re doing and have fun with it, I’m sure it will. And by then, you’ll still have me and others here to support you ^w^

[ThrowMeIntoOrbit]

THANKS QUEEN!!

I'm sorry to see the plush didn't seem to go as planed. You have been a huge comfort for me for the past few years, the creepypasta fandom would probably not be as loved and adored without you. Your the reason I joined this amazing fandom, and for that I am forever grateful. I see a good future for this channel, it may not feel like it now but there is. I wish the best for you and hope that you find joy in creating these wholesome videos again (⁠*⁠＾⁠3⁠＾⁠)⁠/⁠～⁠♡

[meik]

Thanks Queen!
I’ve followed this channel since I didn’t have an account on YouTube, and since I was really young, the first video you made was like literally the best thing to me at the time and over all this channel was fun to watch. I hope you and this channel prosper, thank you!

[rarityclarity]

Thanks Queen!

I grew up with your videos and I would hate to see it end. You got this, Lychee! Just like when the autumn leaves fall from the tree and disintegrate in the winter, they will grow back anew and just as beautiful. Maybe you’re waiting for your spring showers to make new flowers! I can’t wait to see the growth of this new tree! Best of luck, you’ll always have my support!

[celinafoo]

The end of the campaign, but this does not mean the end of your creation. I hope you will see the continuous support and how much love from people in the comment section. Although it might not be in monetary support but there is definitely positive and love! I know you have been putting a lot of dedication, effort and hard work in your channel which I hope you will continue to produce more videos and content even though you will be ventured to other jobs that give you stable income since this channel that brings lovely people and memories together, is created out of your love for the fandom ❤️

Thanks Queen for the enlightenment, and I wish nothing but happiness and success in your future endeavour!

[nothingsee]

THANKS QUEEN, look pal, you are in every way, above me, unlike me you actually animate and have a fanbase. As much as i wouldnt suggest myself to create a channel based off of a dead concept (creepy pasta) i still cant help but admire you for sticking into one subject through all these years, i basically grew up watching you. At the age of 10 i would watch your animations thanks to my fyp, i never bothered checking your channel because i was a simple kid and i thought these would be lost videos by the time i grew up. But somehow i managed to dig back old memories and find you once again. Your determination is truely admiring and it is so awesome that you are one of the few kings/queens that still have a grip on the community. If i have to be dead honest, There is always a possibilty that your next "tree" might die aswell. But at the end of the day, when you start a journey you have to consider the chances of the worst possible ending, but no matter what happenes you will always have good memories. Succes can have diffrent meaning for diffrent individuals. For me success means: being satisfyed with the things youve accomplished in the past and the things that you do now, sometimes satisfaction doesnt require money or fame, sometimes youre just satisfyed with the things youve done.

"The tree that you plant may die again, but at the end, its so fun to watch it grow :)"

if you need any kind of help id be more than happy to assist

Thanks, Queen! <3 that's a very tough journey. I've known this channel for years and still like it. Even if I can't do anything much to help you, I will keep supporting and looking forward to new vids from you!

[springsyndromeGon]

Thanks queen. I know it's hard to come to this conclusion. But it's the right one. The creative field is difficult to navigate. Sometimes you gotta put something down to pick something better up. Your on the right path.

[RottingMoss]

Thanks Queen! Your videos were a big part of my childhood and I've loved watching you come this far. I look forward to the projects you make in the future and wish you the best!

[mrax]

Thanks queen.

I would love to see this continue ❤

[crumbs]

Thanks Queen!
It's honestly sad to hear that the plush didn't reach its goal, but that's just how things go sometimes. I've been supporting you for years and will always continue to! So, yeah, don't give up! Even when things feel tough, it doesn't mean it's the end.
I may not be able to support you financially because I am a broke college student, but I will always be supporting from the sidelines.
Love you Lychee! ❤️
