~~ I drew an adorable Aran-san for this one, though. ~~

~~ Robe-kun looks like ~~

~~ he's about to go "gugu gaga" here. ~~

~~ Can you take the heat?! ~Sauna 'till you drop!~ ~~

~~ Fubuki-san, please move this to the back! ~~

~~ It's too embarrassing to display up front! ~~

~~ Holostars Crappy Thumbnail King Starring: Arurandeis, Yukoku Roberu, Kageyama Shien, Aragami Oga Assistant: Shirakami Fubuki ~~

~~ Dear viewers, I have no idea ~~

~~ why was I forced into doing ~~

~~ today's activity, ~~

~~ but here we are. ~~

~~ It is time to decide the Holostars Crappy Thumbnail King. ~~

~~ Yay... ~~

~~ Yay. ~~

~~ Holostars Crappy Thumbnail King ~~

~~ is a fairly easy― actually, let's start with ~~

~~ the rules of this competition. ~~

~~ Goal Make a thumbnail that isn't worse than Roberu's! ~~

~~ Rules - No fanart - Royalty-free artwork, our character sprites, and your own doodles are okay - The thumbnail should give a lasting impression (You're not meant to make it trashy) ~~

~~ Theme: "I'm the only Santa for Holostars Christmas?! I'll be handing out their presents in secret!" ~~

~~ This looks fun. ~~

~~ "... I'm the only Santa ~~

~~ "for Holostars Christmas?!" ~~

~~ "I'll be handing out their presents in secret!" That's the thumbnail theme. ~~

~~ Okay. ~~

~~ I see. ~~

~~ Anyway, here's the thumbnail ~~

~~ made by Yukoku Roberu for this event. ~~

~~ Slide, please! ~~

~~ ME, SANTA. GIVE, PRESENT. ~~

~~ *pain* ~~

~~ You did yourself in this time. ~~

~~ What? ~~

~~ Why is there a "wee" in there, Robe-san? ~~

~~ What?! ~~

~~ No, no. That's "pee". ~~

~~ "Pee, Santa." ~~

~~ *giggle* ~~

~~ "Pee, Santa." ~~

~~ It's "me", "ME"! ~~

~~ Here is Oga-kun's thumbnail. ~~

~~ Slide, please! ~~

~~ I will become their Santa. ~~

~~ Woah. I see, I see. ~~

~~ See here, ~~

~~ I put all my love for you three ~~

~~ into this thumbnail! ~~

~~ Hmm, well, ~~

~~ I think it's good. ~~

~~ I think the best part is ~~

~~ the thought he put into it for us, right? ~~

~~ Also, look at ~~

~~ how fluffy my santa hat is. ~~

~~ Wait, you drew that? ~~

~~ Nah, he just found that somewhere, right? ~~

~~ I drew it! ~~

~~ You drew that?! ~~

~~ Why did you put all the effort into that?! ~~

~~ You~~ ~~drew that?! ~~

~~ All the quality went to the santa hat! ~~

~~ You draw a damn good santa hat! ~~

~~ So all that effort went to yourself! ~~

~~ Hmm?~~ ~~Huh? Uh? ~~

~~ Hmm? Huh?~~ ~~Uh? ~~

~~ Hmm? Huh? Uh? ~~

~~ Aran― Aran-san? ~~

~~ Oh hoo? ~~

~~ I drew an adorable Aran-san for this one, though. ~~

~~ Robe-kun looks like ~~

~~ he's about to go "gugu gaga" here. ~~

~~ Okay, next one is ~~

~~ Shien's thumbnail. ~~

~~ Slide, please. Here it is! ~~

~~ I will become Santa and sneakily deliver their presents, or at least that's the plan ~~

~~ I styled it like a Christmas card, ~~

~~ blurring the background and all. ~~

~~ As for the text, I, hmm... ~~

~~ It's not a Santa― ~~

~~ I used the colors ~~

~~ red, white, and green ~~

~~ to give it a good Christmas vibe. ~~

~~ I'll give you points for presentation, at least. ~~

~~ The text is hard to read, though. ~~

~~ What? ~~

~~ Hahaha. ~~

~~ The font is pretty hard to read through. ~~

~~ Really? ~~

~~ I'll brush up on gradients, I guess... ~~

~~ Yeah, it's a little strong on the eyes. ~~

~~ The next one is Aru-san's thumbnail! ~~

~~ Let's give out presents! ~~

~~ Heh. ~~

~~ Wow, that's awful. ~~

~~ Don't say it's awful! ~~

~~ Don't say that it's awful! ~~

~~ It's not that bad! ~~

~~ It's easy on the eyes! ~~

~~ You're not delivering presents. You're stealing them away! ~~

~~ The image implies you're a thief. ~~

~~ Yeah, I can see it. ~~

~~ No, it's― this picture is all I had. ~~

~~ I think we have ~~

~~ someone on Robe-san's level now. ~~

~~ You think so too?! ~~

~~ No, nope. We haven't. Stop pointing! ~~

~~ That's slander! ~~

~~ The Big Two, huh... ~~

~~ I'm shocked at how outmatched ~~

~~ we are, to be honest. ~~

~~ Well then, it's time for me ~~

~~ to reveal the scores. ~~

~~ Sure. ~~

~~ Okay. ~~

~~ Let's do this in order. ~~

~~ Okay! ~~

~~ Oga-kun! ~~

~~ Yes! ~~

~~ Two points! ~~

~~ As I expected. ~~

~~ Not bad. ~~

~~ Arurandeis-kun! ~~

~~ One point! ~~

~~ Wait! Hold on! Stop! No! ~~

~~ Wooow, it's finally come out. ~~

~~ A conspiracy, I tell you. ~~

~~ Kageyama Shien-kun! ~~

~~ Yes! ~~

~~ Three points! ~~

~~ Yush! ~~

~~ Wha?! ~~

~~ That's all for this round! ~~

~~ Okay, our next theme is... ~~

~~ Let's go. ~~

~~ Theme: A hellish sauna endurance collab with Robel, Shien, Arurandeis, and Shien. ~~

~~ Let's show the thumbnail. ~~

~~ Starting with Yukoku Roberu's work... ~~

~~ Can you take the heat?! ~Sauna 'till you drop!~ ~~

~~ Hmm... ~~

~~ Fubuki-san, please move this to the back! ~~

~~ It's too embarrassing to display up front! ~~

~~ Okay, good! ~~

~~ It's at the back now. ~~

~~ It doesn't look that hot. ~~

~~ The handwritten text here feels off. ~~

~~ It does. ~~

~~ Hmm... ~~

~~ Let's move on to Shien's thumbnail. ~~

~~ Slide, please! ~~

~~ Four men enclosed in a sauna Surely nothing will happen between them... ~~

~~ Ahahaha! ~~

~~ The sweat on Aran-san... ~~

~~ He's drenched. ~~

~~ What's happening to him? ~~

~~ Aran-san's sweat here is coming out really weird! ~~

~~ Do you hate me or something?! ~~

~~ Ahahaha! ~~

~~ Why did you make ~~

~~ Robe-san's sweat here look so inviting? ~~

~~ Like it's hugging his cheek... ~~

~~ Wait, does it― ~~

~~ It's probably not― ~~

~~ That's probably intentional. ~~

~~ So, to explain... ~~

~~ Shien hates me, ~~

~~ while he loves Roberu. ~~

~~ No, no. ~~

~~ It's not that, really. ~~

~~ I don't think it's that. ~~

~~ I made sure to bring out ~~

~~ everyone's best color tones for this. ~~

~~ Our color tones?! ~~

~~ Oga's thumbnail ~~

~~ is this one! ~~

~~ Hell's Sauna Endure Robe-san's heat ~~

~~ This looks like my thumbnail. ~~

~~ Hm? ~~

~~ *suppressed giggles* ~~

~~ This is on my level, right? ~~

~~ But, hmm, it's pretty good. ~~

~~ So that's the angle you're going for. ~~

~~ It's "endure Robe-san's heat." ~~

~~ Not your typical sauna. ~~

~~ Ahh, well. I can see that, yes. ~~

~~ Robe-san's mere gaze ~~

~~ behind us is hot enough. ~~

~~ WHAT?! ~~

~~ That's the kind of sauna we have to go through. ~~

~~ It's not a normal sauna ~~

~~ but a Robe-san sauna. ~~

~~ Yep, that right. ~~

~~ A RobeSauna. ~~

~~ That does sound like a hellish sauna. ~~

~~ The bottom text is hard to read, though. ~~

~~ Well, about that... ~~

~~ You sure love fonts! ~~

~~ Hahaha! ~~

~~ He's def― ~~

~~ He's definitely the font police. ~~

~~ Next is Arurandeisu-san's― ~~

~~ Why are you all laughing! ~~

~~ ―thumbnail! Slide, please! ~~

~~ Sauna Gauntlet From Hell ~~

~~ You'll get struck down for this. ~~

~~ Fubuki-san! Can you please do that thing? ~~

~~ Can you subliminally show ~~

~~ ME vs ME in 100 matches ~~

~~ his last three thumbnails for us? ~~

~~ No! Stop! ~~

~~ Aha! That color! ~~

~~ Sauna Gauntlet From Hell ~~

~~ Yes, that background color! ~~

~~ Please stop! ~~

~~ You've done it! ~~

~~ ME vs ME in 100 matches ~~

~~ You've done it this time! ~~

~~ Don't play spot the difference with them! ~~

~~ Wait a minute, does this mean you can spot the difference between all three? ~~

~~ Let's prank the manager into waking up ~~

~~ Yep! ~~

~~ And the next one ~~

~~ Do it more slowly! ~~

~~ ME vs ME in 100 matches ~~

~~ Sauna Gauntlet From Hell ~~

~~ just keeps the same color! Sauna Gauntlet From Hell ~~

~~ Sauna Gauntlet From Hell ~~

~~ We're not playing UNO. ~~

~~ This was a really close contest. ~~

~~ It really was. ~~

~~ We gave it our best here. ~~

~~ Definitely. ~~

~~ I'm glad you guys actually ~~

~~ put some effort into this. ~~

~~ If you think about it, ~~

~~ thumbnails are pretty important, ~~

~~ being streamers and all. ~~

~~ I was the first to submit. ~~

~~ Do I get points for that? ~~

~~ Nope. ~~

~~ Why! ~~

~~ I was the fastest, maybe! ~~

~~ Well then. ~~

~~ We have selected ~~

~~ the esteemed victor of this match. ~~

~~ Hm. ~~

~~ The crown for ~~

~~ Holostars Crappy Thumbnail King goes to ~~

~~ Please no. ~~

~~ Arurandeisu-kun! ~~

~~ Congratulations! ~~

~~ You Are King! ~~

~~ As his prize, ~~

~~ Arurandeisu-san will receive ~~

~~ the crown for the ~~

~~ Holostars Crappy Thumbnail King, made by yours truly! ~~

~~ I don't want it! ~~

~~ Ah! How splendid! ~~

~~ So cool! ~~

~~ Let's see how everyone scored at the end! ~~

~~ Their final scores are ~~

~~ as follows! ~~

~~ These are their scores. ~~

~~ Wha? ~~

~~ Wh―? ~~

~~ What?! ~~

~~ Hey! ~~

~~ Oga and Shien were ~~

~~ really neck and neck. ~~

~~ I'm not dead yet! ~~

~~ Oga probably learned a thing or two seeing ~~

~~ how good Shien's thumbnails are, right? ~~

~~ For sure. He truly deserves ~~

~~ Heeeey. ~~

~~ the title of Thumbnail King. ~~

~~ This counter is broken. ~~

~~ Thank you very much. ~~

~~ I had a lot of fun looking through these! ~~
