Farewell messages to Magni Dezmond

Sending off Magni Dezmond with our best wishes

About this Project

Organized by: TEMPUS project serverEvent date: 25 September 2023

Hello, fellow Tempura and all Holopro fans!

This project is a joint project across multiple TEMPUS fancords (TEMPUS Guild Hall / TEMPUS project server), which came from the wish to honor talents Magni Dezmond and Noir Vesper of Holostars EN, who sadly graduated on August 31st, 2023.

While it might appear like a short time, they still left us with many amazing moments and were appreciated by many. This project was intended to give their fans a little space to send well-wishes and highlight their favourite moments throughout the last year. We hope you will enjoy reading through everyone's submissions, and that you may remember the talents fondly by them.

We would like to thank holoen.fans for kindly hosting our project. And finally - we also want to thank you, everyone who contributed a message or artwork.

- The Graduation Project Team

Community Submissions

Magni, I just wanted to thank you for bringing me to Tempus. Your clips are what helped me discover Holostars Tempus and with it Holostars. You showed me a community I never thought I would be so lucky to be a part of and I will always be grateful for that. Your endless creativity always inspired me. If it was something that required an artistic or creative mind it seemed like you went after it and it made me want to expand my horizons artistically. I loved watching you draw. You could just instantly make a dynamic pose or create a vibe. I will treasure those moments. I was often pretty quiet at first as a magmite, but when I came out of my shell more and interacted with the community you built, they made me feel welcomed. You always made it feel like every single one of us mattered and it reflected back within the community. I’ll miss you, but I am happy I got to enjoy the moments I did while you were here. Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for the laughs. Thank you for the inspiration you gave me. You’ll always be my Maglord o7 Rhys (like riss…not reese hahah)

I never thought someone could draw so fast without erasing a lot. As an artist myself, it's mesmerizing to watch you draw and you've inspired me to improve my illustration skills. If you see a rising comic creator by the name MerryLamb, take pride in knowing she views you as one of the greats. I'm sure many magmites feel the same inspiration.Farewell and good luck with your endeavors Mr. Potion Man, you will be missed. ✌

So this is where we say farewell to the one and only, the great Magni Dezmond. I really liked to call you my kamioshi, though I don't know if you ever believed me. But I really loved hanging out with you, almost everyday, so much that I looked forward to every stream. I was there, even for things that I didn't think I'd enjoy watching, just because I was there to hear you crack jokes that sometimes made me sigh in (affectionate) disgust or, more often, genuinely laugh; to hear you rant about something that made you passionate as you jumped in circles aimlessly; to see you go quiet as you put your full focus on something (I REALLY didn't mind - in fact, I liked watching you be so enthralled by what you were doing); and overall, to just... chat with you and Magnation, picking on you, getting picked on by you, having a laugh and just chilling together. There were the creative streams and the big productions, the gimmicks, and all. But it was fun just being with everyone. You know? I can't lie and say that it doesn't make me sad that we're parting ways here. I'm also sad that we didn't get to reach some of those milestones. And I'm going to miss the creative journey, which was a big part of why I followed you: the art, the loops (!!!), the lore creation. But I understand that something bigger than that took you away. And despite the circumstances, I'm still so glad to have met you and spent all that time with you. So even though I'm sad, watching you walk to the sea, I wish you all the best, and that you can go on and be the somebody that you've always wanted to be. The time we did share, I'll keep on treasuring. I will call myself your magmite for quite some time. After all, I'm still locked in for 37... 47... 97 years.
