Thanks for the stream Shiori, and for reading my letter! This Santa you were chatting with was quite the interesting fellow And you've been pronouncing my name right, no worries!
2:02:01 pop pop pop
2:13:43 I died from cuteness overload
Now that was a fantastic evening with Santa and Shiorimachinegun! I adore you creativety and wit in general, it was a blast:)
And hope everyone wishes comes true. Peace, luck and prosperity to you houses guys.
24:04 Santa’s cry for help had me DYING extremely fun stream thank you shiori!
Loved the dichotomy between the wholesome letters and hearing Santa's lamentations.
Thanks for the stream I'm feeling the Christmas spirit Got a small tree for my desk so time to get decorative.
Shiori has such an authentic cuteness I love it
Thanks for featuring my letter.
(But I couldn't see the moment in real time because I had work.)
Shiori the “little bit of luck” you gave me was enough because I just did some pulls and got the rate up Operator of the current banner in six pulls. Thank you
Thanks for reading so many of our letters Shiori and Santa
Thank you for the stream, so many wholesome and cute wishes! I hope all of them come true.
Santa Claus has amazing dancing skills, danced through the whole stream! But I'm sure Elfvella would dance even better and for longer if she wanted to!
Take care.
I saw a lot of familiar novelites as for my wish my wish is to make more wonderful memories with Shiori and with you guys
Thank you for the fun and comfy stream Shiori
Thank you for reading our letters and granting our wish. I am so excited for these merch ideas and the eventual alarm.
Thanks for the stream Shiori
Thank you for the stream Shiori!!!!
Thank you for reading our many letters and for granting the wishes! Poor Santa, he's been through a lot. Hopefully, something will cheer up his holiday spirit. He got the sick dance moves after all.
As for my letter, I've never imagine coal to be low at the North Pole. But no matter, I shall find other means to handle my cursed doll. Also to learn to draw a robot, now that I have an idea for my form. I'll accept being ink in a robot for now. (That I may or may not include the other Novelites. I need to figure out the layout for it.)
Ho Ho Ho, Shiori!
Santa's Workshop is surely causing quite the quake!
The echoes of Smackadoodle in the Northern Pole are wearing out our beloved old Saint Nick!
Hopefully, his Stocking isn't filled with coal... Let us pray for a Christmas Miracle!
Reminds me of "Billy & Mandy Save Christmas" in "The Grim Adventures of Billy & Andy!"
Gosh... I'm currently astounded by how spoiled we Novelites are!
Besides the peculiar Stepping, there were a lot of nifty ideas, such as Novelknight Plushie, Pepper Soap Dispenser, and Alarm Voicepack!
Do I sense an incoming Shiori Bodypillow?
Thank You for reading my wish! I really do like scarves!
Much gratitude for appreciating my linguistics!
Thank you for the stream!Everyone wishes is warm and some are very funny. Seeing Shiori Elfvella sorting out granted or not granted wish is chaotic and interesting too. I hope Santa could workout his family problem and get the factory back in work soon though,and don't let him had too much eggnog, he couldn't even get our names right!
Thank you for the stream Shiori! You look so cute with Mrs. Claus outfit
Thank you for the stream, Shiori, and for taking the time to put something as delightful as this together! I just finished watching the VOD, and it was genuinely wholesome and heartwarming. I loved seeing all the letters and wishes shared, and I sincerely hope that they all come true someday, even the silly ones. I didn't have much time to write a letter or wish myself (work be busy ), but I wish you and this wonderful community a Merry Christmas and all the best for the coming year~
I hope you're having a blessed day, Shiori, and I'll see you later for the Advent collab.
Thank you for the stream, Shiori!
I really hope Santa has enough funds from our SCs to go to therapy and end his eggnog addiction. He still really needs to pronounce Novelites correctly. I hope he manages to go through.
Also, thank you for reading my letter for Santa and making my wishes come true. You did a great job helping out Santa read all those letters. I'm proud of you, Shiori!
Thank you for reading so many of our letters and making most of our wishes come true, Shiori! I have to say though... I think Old Saint Nick might need help sooner rather than later to fix his trauma and to kick the eggnog habit. In all seriousness, I love the creativity that went into the stream and it was a really comfy and wonderful time.
As always, thank you for all the hard work Shiorin~ See you at Raora's collab!
I hope Shiori and the Novelites get their wishes granted this Christmas! Y'all deserve it and so much more. Thank you for reading our letters, Shiori Elfvella! Happy Holidays to everyone!
P.S. I hope Santa gets over his eggnog addiction before Christmas. Don't need him driving that sleigh under the influence!
Thanks Shiori for reading our letters. It was a fun and jolly time. You can't blame a novelknight for wanting new swords, okay? We're knights, it comes with the territory
Santa....poor man's going through it. We got the trauma dump treatment today. Though I can't help but think he was saying our name wrong on purpose. Everytime he got it right, he'd get triggered by something you said and go back to saying it wrong. I think someone wants ink for Christmas
Santa Shiori is something we all need for our yearly Christmas
Thank you for the stream, Queen Shiori! Also, your Santa outfit looked so lovel and I like it!
すてきな配信ありがとう
Thanks for the stream, and thanks for reading my letter~ I was the Snowtrooper, I forgot to change that username way back from my elementary school days ww
It was so sweet seeing you read the messages from all the Novelites, and giving heartful and sweet messages! I always appreciate these fun projects we can participate.
Thanks for the comfy stream reading the novelite's letters! I hope many of their wishes are granted, especially hoping for the novelknight plushie wish to be granted as well
Another fun stream thanks for gettin us in the Christmas spirit, Shiori! The TTS skits are great lol
Thank you for the comfy stream and for making various wishes come true! I hope Santa will get all the help he needs, I can take help take his eggnog away, I promise not to drink it!
Thanks for reading all those letters, Shiori! Santa was a most entertaining guest!
Thank you so much for the stream, Shiori~!!
This was such a creative idea! I won’t lie, I did not know you were going to be reading our letters on stream and actually granting requests. I probably should of asked for something better than the meme Snail ASMR
It’s all good though, I already got the first part of my wish granted anyway. Though, I suppose I should have wished for an intelligence buff for my upcoming finals.
Anyway, this stream was peak. One of my all time favorites that you’ve done. You are so hilarious for making Santa drunk and sad cause of an affair. I bursted out laughing each time he pronounced “Novelites” wrong.
The ai voice is really well made. Props to your friend or whoever made it. I can’t wait for more projects in the upcoming future~!! The amount of collabs this week has also been amazing.
Thank you so much for spoiling us a ton with all this amazing content. And for hinting at some potential new goodies for the following years to come.
It was very kind of you to push through and go through all 150 letters. You are quite the trooper! This stream was a good mix of wholesome, goofy, and creative. I really do love appreciate the content you give to us. We truly are spoiled.
I wish all the Novelites and including you, Shiori to continue having fun with whatever you are doing. I’m glad to be apart of this community. Merry Not Christmas, Shiori~!!
As always, have a good day and I hope your voice isn’t too destroyed. Good job on completing homework. Take care Shiori~!! May you be gifted with a custom made Dimitri Dakimakura 20% clothing~
P.S. I’m going to call you out for lying on Raora’s stream. We do not have houses, we live in cages as you said
That was a fun stream, so many cute wishes, sweet wishes, wholesome wishes and some not so wholesome ones.
I'm with you on the no-robot gang, doesn't fit Inkwell's aesthetics.
Santa's really got some wild things going on over there, not to mention his rather... unique taste in dakimakura covers.
Thank you for the stream Shiori! It was really sweet of you to read everyone’s Christmas wishes! Glad Santa could find some time away from Mrs. Claus and join us for the stream too!
Also, another good merch idea would be like a Yorick tote bag, I would appreciate it at least
Thank you for the lovely stream and letter reading! We were really blessed with so many headpats this time, hope things get better for Santa too!
Looking forward to both the Raora and Calli collabs too! But most of all my Christmas wish is I hope you, the other girls, and all my fellow fans all have a good Christmas season, and a good 2025 as well, or at least as best as possible.
Thank you for the stream Shiori! And thanks for reading our Christmas wish letters! It was nice and very sweet of you to take time and read them through. Also filled with a lot of laughs, and good company(questionable) by Santa. ngl I did not expect the stream to go out swinging talking about some of his uhh, personal matters, but nonetheless the stream was a great time to sit and watch along with.
The wishes from other Novelites were nice to listen to. Though of course there were a good amount of silly ones, it was very sweet to see many wishing everyone here good and happy times. Makes me feel very happy to be apart of this community.
As for my wish, once again, thank you for reading through it. I honestly wasn't sure what to write down as I didnt have any actual wishes in mind. So I felt like doing my best to make a silly-ish one. And I enjoyed the response from you nonetheless, which in true honesty, is a wonderful gift in it of itself.
魔法はないね?まー...日本語の勉強法 頑張るそう!!!
(Good lord I hope this is correct, I tried my best!)
In all honesty in terms of my wishes this year. Despite the extreme highs and lows I faced, I cant help but consider this year to have been one of my best of all time. I was granted two wishes I thought I could only ever dream of. I was able to walk the streets of Japan on my own for a bit during the summer, and even hold tiny (And VERY broken ) conversations with a few locals. Also in such an unexpected surprise, I was able to meet my Kami-Oshi in a meet and greet at my very first convention. Two bucket list items crossed out in one year I never would have dreamed of actually doing in my life. So in a way my wish has already been fulfilled, and I have you to thank for helping me have such an amazing year.
Thank you as always for everything Shiori! I look forward to the collab with Raora later! And I hope you take care soon and rest so that your voice doesnt go bad! See ya in a bit Shiori!!!
The amount of times your expression changed in response to Santa calling us the wrong name was the highlight of the whole stream alongside having my letter read. I'll continue praying for collab earphones/headphones of you or Advent. Now the question lingering after this stream is whether Raora will give Chatini a giant robot to counter us getting jetpacks.
That was such a sweet stream I hope everyone has a good holiday season
I just finished watching the VOD again, and all I can say is that it was the sweetest and most heartwarming stream ever. I don't even know where to begin! I love all the wishes and gifts shared, and I truly hope from the bottom of my heart that they come true. Thank you so much for taking the time, Shiori. You’re the best! Have a beautiful rest of your night, and I’ll see you tomorrow for the collab stream.
P.S. It really made me tear up when you acknowledged our friendship with my best friend, Sammy. I’m so grateful to have both you and Sammy in my life. ❤️
Thanks for the stream! It was a jolly good time. Here’s hoping Santa can receive the marriage counseling he needs 🙏Hope you can get some rest before the collab, it was a lot of reading so be sure to rest your voice! See ya!
Thank you to you and S-team for gathering all the letters and sharing everyone's wishes with us. It was a very wholesome and funny stream and I'm looking forward to your future plans you will eventually reveal. You were a great elfvella to Santa and loved your Christmas outfit
Thank you for the stream and reading our letters U are so sweet!
Thank you for the comfy stream and reading so many of the letters Shiori It was such a comfy stream reading all the wholesome wishes, I hope everyone's wishes come true
I think Santa needs a guys night out with Krampus to get his mind off of Mrs. Claus.
Thank you for the stream and great work today! Thank you for setting all of this up and helping Santa out! Very nice to see the Novelites being so supportive as always! Hope you can rest your voice when you can!
Thank you for the letter reading and helping Santa with his therapy Shiori! Shiori mech perms please 🙏 Also Henma the independent omega, fitting.
Rest your voice Shiori
Thanks for reading so many letters and granting my wish of getting a headpat, Shiori. I hope Santa's situation gets better. Thanks for the early Christmas cheer.Hope you did hurt your voice too much.
Thank you so much for the stream and thanks for reading my letter! Let's keep making more memories!
Santa needs some serious ho-ho-help!
Thank you for the stream. It was sweet seeing you reading the Novelknight's letters. Some wishes turned out very sweet and wholesome, and some a little less so. Some nice merch ideas came out of this stream as well.
Today's stream was a lot of fun!. Love the back tragic back story of Santa in his twilight years, suffering from egg nogg-coholism and marital troubles Also 36:40 SCREW YOU SANTA! WHAT DO YOU MEAN "In this economy"? IT AINT THAT BAD.
Thanks for reading our letters to Santa, Shiori Elfvella. I really loved how fun this stream was. It was really cool that the both of you could spare the time to do so, considering Christmas is fast approaching. Also given the circumstances, I can forgive Santa for not knowing our Novelite name and I hope he can find happiness and the funds to be able to afford coal once more.
Rest well, good luck with your collab with Raora and see you next stream for the Advent collab~
Thank you for the stream as always, Shiori!~
Hope to continue supporting you and your wonderful community. May every Novelites' wishes come true and cheers continue to spread for the rest of this year and into 2025 too!
I'll never escape my nickname now, its shiover.
Anyway, its really sweet of you to help santa in his time of need. I just hope he doesn't get too down in the coals from jingles, well... you know.
If you need help getting jingles to disappear somehow, we can probably help.
Thank you for reading out so many wishes and my wish as well! I’m rooting for you and all of Advent to get some GoodSmile goodies! Nendoroids would be lovely!
Lots of nice wishes and reading letters.Thanks for the stream Shiori!
Thank you for reading my letter and all that you do! I really liked the idea for this stream and wish I was able to catch it live. Have a good rest of your day Shiori!
My Christmas wish was for more Shiori so I feel great! Thanks for the stream Santa and Shiori!
I love how sweet and wholesome this stream turned out! Thank you so much for granting so many of our Christmas wishes! And aye, best of luck with the collaboration later! I hope you have lots of fun designing cool stuff with Raora!
thank you for the fun stream shiori! gotta catch the rest of the vod later xD, looking forward to the collab with raora!
Thank you so much for the stream, Shiori! It was super lovely, even with the mild uptick in murderous instinct every time Santa said "Novelight" lmfao
I struggled to think of things to wish for, but honestly? More elaboration on Novelites and particularly Novelights definitely could have very well been my wish. Hearing that they are made of light AND also your creation is some very intriguing information~
Oh, perhaps instead of a standard super robot/mech, we could have a cool somewhat period-accurate steampunk-esque one?
Great job on reading all of our letters, Shiori! I hope your voice recovers well from all the reading, many wishes were granted And thanks for reading my letter! I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend FES but I'll try my absolute hardest to be at the next EN concert, I must see my Kami-oshi perform in person Santa was really at his worst here, wishing the best for the guy and his marriage. Can't believe he's resorting to reindeer...
You're really cooking hard with all these projects, it surprises me how much you're able to juggle You really make being a member worth it too. All the stuff for us Novelknights, the audio dramas, the comics, they're so lovely! We are very spoiled Great job to Resu Desu on the outfit too, its super pretty on you, very drawable
Thank you for the fun stream, Shiori
Thank you for the stream and for granting the more important part of my wish.
👍Thanks Shiorin!
It just can't end like this, Shiori! Please tell me you plan to continue this! I want to know more about Santa's story with Mrs. Claus!
I took the time to read a lot of the Novelite's Christmas Letters when I was free once, and a lot of them are sweet. It might be impossible to do them all though given how many there are.
Thanks for the stream Shiori!! Also thanks for the massage, really helped calm my nerves and relax 😊
配信ありがとう!みんなの願いが叶いますように
Aw man, I overslept and missed this stream. So I'll have to watch the vod.
But I'll say it anyways. Thank you for streaming Shiori! I'm sure this stream was fun and I can't wait to watch it later.
So adorable today's stream Resu_desu made an amazing asset!!
That Santa was not what I'm used to know, but hahahah he is funny :P
For my nick, think you and chat got it wrong (just some Novelites got it right). I actually liked the resemblance to fire. So no worries, I understand, it is not the first time that that happens and I already got used to the nick "butchering" .
Merry Xmas Shiori~
Christmas came early this year 😅
Thanks for Fun Chat, Reading Letter and Granting Our wishes, Santa Shiori ~
Have a Good Rest Shio-riiiin 🖤
Thank you for reading our letters Elfvella! I hope everyone who didn't get to have their letters read still have their wishes come true! And best wishes to Santa, you deserve better!
Thanks for the great stream today ! It was cool to see you and an alcoholic Santa grant a bunch of our wishes for Christmas this year ! I can’t believe Santa calls us Novelights tho ! And Mrs. Claus is cheating on him , unforgivable! Crazy that the elves are starting to unionize too . I really loved this stream and how fun and creative it was . Thanks again for always working so hard for us and for all the amazing streams and content you gave us this year ! I hope any Christmas wishes you have come true as well
Thanks for the stream! It's a nice and creative idea. Wish I could have watched live but I'm glad to be able to watch, regardless of whether it's live or a VOD. I'm happy my letter got read. I couldn't really think of anything else to wish for, since I don't really want anything. So health and happiness was really the only thing that I could think of. Found it kind of funny that quite a few people had similar wishes tho.
Thanks for the stream~ I’m glad my wish got to make it on stream. I’m really looking forward to seeing you try milo
(Don’t worry I won’t hate you even if you hate it)
Thanks for the chill letter reading streamit was nice seeing you read everyones letterson an embarrassing note it seems my letter got cut off
One of the more unique premises for a stream we’ve seen!
14:05 So the official language of the North Pole is… Santanese? Huh. Today I learned. 🤭
Merry not-yet-Christmas!
Thank you shiori you saved christmas this year!
Thank you for granting our christmas wishes! I hope Santa is okay after all that night hearing Mrs. Claus' nightly jingles
We will keep working for our own Inkwell Super Robot
Team earphones / headphone gifts rise up!
@Entereshia
Thank you for the stream Shiori!!!!
Even though my idea for freshly made chocolate got shot down, I will still look forward to the store bought chocolate
Jokes aside, I extend my thanks to you for all that you do! I hope your Christmas is as amazing as you are, Shiori
Thank you for the stream, Shiori, and for reading my letter! I get to work on the outline of my song during the holidays, although it will probably be a sad song It won't be sadder than Santa's love life that's for sureHopefully gacha will be kind to you this end of the year too, I wouldn't be surprised if FEH released a post-time skip Christmas Dimitri Would he be dressed up as Krampus?!?! Hope you rest your voice and take care!
Otsu Shiori. Thanks for this awesome time today. I gotta say some of the Christmas wish letters from the Novelites that were ready today were so wholesome and sweet. I hope alot of the Novelites Christmas wishes do come true here. Thanks shiori for reading alot of them. I hope you had an awesome time reading them. Have a great Christmas my good Gothic friend Shiori novella ♥️ 🐀
I really gotta participate in this kind of thing I've just been super spaced out lately
Thanks for reading all the letters, Shiori! You and Santa have made many people happy during this festive time! And even more, us Novelites shall be your little PogChamps as Santa keeps drinking all the egg nog. Thank you for the stream, Shiori~n!
Thank you for the stream, Shiori!
Thanks for the stream, shiowii
Thank you for reading my letter, Beloved Elfvella! 🙏🏼 I have finally started uploading art to my X, other than the Shioasset for you, I've been busy, and have only uploaded art for Rissa's birthday, but soon you'll get a gift from me.
Thank you for the stream and all the lovely sentiments. Here's to you for supporting everyone, particularly poor Santa.
I appreciate my letter being considered. It was not intentionally meant for war, they don't exactly possess much to justify the effort.
Nice to see you react to all of the Novelites' letters. Santa was an interesting fellow i Thanks for the stream, Shiori and Santa. See you next stream.
What a cute Santa Shiori outfit. The standard Santa really should lay off the eggnog though, even in these trying times.
48:07 TSKR for granting my wish, Shiori
If you were to say to me at 1 point that I would be spending the beginning month of December by listening to shiori reading Christmas letters while also reprimanding an AI Santa Claus for all of his life choices then that would be for a very fun good time lol. This girl is way too incredible with how she makes her contact so now we can add Shiori tells Santa did stop with his insanity on top of her telling everyone you will not get no robots. Again what can I say her content is very unique and interesting and it's very funny. Still though definitely worth it especially since it's pretty chilly where I'm at right now and I can't say no to a cute archiver reprimanding santa and still refusing to play league lol. Great job Shiori and Santa!
Here ya go Shiori Elfvella a nice Christmas Carol that you can recite to Santa to cheer the Big Man Up~
It started out with a sip,
How did it end up like this?
It was only eggnog, it was only eggnog.
Now he’s drowning his tears,
As he jingles with fear,
Mrs. Claus left a note,
Said she’s run off with Jingle the goat-
Wait, the elf, my mistake!
(Sorry, Santa, bad break...)
Now he’s crying alone,
In the North Pole zone,
Shiori steps in, with a smirk and a phone.
"Hey Santa, let’s chat,
Why’d you let her do that?"
She brings him a blanket, and a hat shaped like a bat.
Jealousy,
Turning Christmas into heresy.
Santa’s drowning in a dairy spree,
Chugging nog like it’s whiskey.
Oh no...
Shiori sighs,
“Big guy, you’ve gotta open your eyes!”
Eggnog rivers just won't suffice,
Forget her, let’s deliver tonight!”
Santa slurs, “She was mine,
And now Jingle’s in line,
To wear my red coat,
And ride Rudolph all night!”
Shiori deadpans, “Alright,
Let’s get you upright.
Mrs. Claus? Not worth it,
She’s outta your life!”
He’s belting sad carols,
Off-key, in a spiral.
“Frostyyyyy’s... a tra-aai-tor!”
Shiori rolls her eyes higher.
Grabs a mop for the spill,
And some cookies to chill,
“Let’s sober you up,
‘Fore the elves call it quits!”
Jealousy,
Turning Santa into parody.
Chimneys clogged ‘cause he’s way off key,
“Eggnog’s love!” he keeps telling me.
Oh no...
Shiori sighs,
“Santa, we need to normalize,
You’re the king of the Christmas skies!
Now buck up, let’s sleigh tonight!”
Santa wipes off his beard,
His resolve reappeared.
“Mrs. Claus made her choice,
But my sleigh’s my true voice!”
And with Shiori’s help,
He forgot all the guilt.
Now he’s drunk on pure cheer,
And nog-free this year!
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed the little parody~!!
Thank youz
2:08:30 it was worth a shot. Merry Christmas!
What a jolly stream even if santa have one to many eggnog
2:12:25 My birthday! Thanks for the stream!
I had few things I was expecting, but Santa's personal baggage was not one of them. Maybe it'd be better to not believe... (though it certainly made the stream more memorable).
☺️☺️☺️💜💕🥰🥰🥰💜💕
45:56
Where are you guys send the letter?
It was a fun stream, although not so much for Santa with his marital problems
