I signed the contract for buying my first place today and got carried away telling them how I get to finally decorate my own place with things I love like FFXIV, anime, MapleStory and I got to the bank to check their account information and I saw this 😭😭😭
BRB crying.

Raiding in FFXIV as an LGBTQIA+ person, is seeing this and hearing someone say "look away, gaze" and wanting to respond with "And what did you mean by that?"

"You're an ADHD mess, you can't focus for that long"
"Just accept you can't do it"
"They're right, stick to savages"
I psyched myself out at every turn.
But...I did it.

To this day I think about when I was trying to make a child patient relax before a procedure, and talked about how I played healers in video games because everyone needs a healer and they're always in demand and she looked at me and said "do you like to feel wanted?"

This is a reminder that removing yourself from spaces which have shown to not be safe just means you prioritise your own well-being.
A common narrative that is used is that you're "throwing in the towel." You don’t owe it to anyone to stay and teach them how to make it safe.
Only
#FFXIV
players are capable of making the early stages of the game sound like some sort of anti-bullying campaign.
"It gets better..."
"If you can get through ARR..."
"I promise it's worth it".
Y'all chill. ARR is not as bad as you are remembering. Stop scaring people away.
Petition to normalise macro's on NA in

Anyone else find it exhausting going from a minute of looking at a macro, calling a spot and figuring out positions for mechanics on EU/JP to 10 minutes of dancing around markers for every mechanic on NA?
(Pic is just an example)
I'm not a "gamer" by any means, but I told myself I wouldn't let my neurodivergency stop me from pushing myself.
My brain was on fire for 19 minutes and only my fellow ADHDers will know the relief I felt today.
If your self doubt gets loud, we get louder

Even as women show and tell us that spaces aren’t safe, and that problematic people are protected by their peers, the mental gymnastics people do to remain impartial is WILD and quite literally are proving their point…
I promise you, that devil does not need a fucking advocate.
I spent YEARS on Twitch, sat talking to 0 viewers for HOURS until someone popped by.
Yesterday I noticed people sat in chat talking to each other, waiting for me to go live.
So naturally I spent my starting soon screen time crying while trying to take a "Going Live Picture".
Life Update
- Mum's cancer progressed.
- She chose not to pursue treatment.
- We all cried.
- Working to make sure she does everything on her bucket list.
- New Model in October (collab'd with mum on this!)
Sorry if I've been absent as of late. I've taken time off to put things
We had a letter come through to our mail from our local town council.
With it was a picture of my bedroom from the outside with my red LED lights on for when I stream.
Y'all, they thought I was hosting adult parties and reminded me that we were in a lockdown...
I'm done...
I feel like lack of transparency has us putting people on pedestals and thinking "it can never be us".
To put this out there, I am by no means a big / successful content creator, but I will proudly say I am one who's stood the test of time.
I didn't have a clip go viral, I
made that tweet about analytics earlier. have to remind myself that my journey is my own. but for those who think that the only way is to blow up or burn out, it's not.
5 years approaching. All things worth pursuing take time, effort, and love ya know? 🥺❤️
Seeing friends tempted to try World of Warcraft recently but scared to play it because of the learned and parroted discourse around toxicity from a FFXIV point of view.
As someone who had played WoW for 14 years, my experience in toxicity between WoW and FFXIV is that the mean
❌ "Have you met [X] yet?"
❌ "You're getting to the good part!"
❌ "Ugh I hate [X] (right after their introduction...)
❌ "Brace yourself" / "Get the tissues ready"
✅ "What level MSQ are you at?"
✅ Literally, don't say anything and let the magic happen.
Today I heard "I'm going to raid someone playing a different game so I won't lose y'all to them haha"
You don't want people watching you only because they haven't found anyone else.
That mindset makes other content creators become your enemies when they're your biggest allies.
It's happening! I'll be on the front page from 1pm to 3pm PT raising money for
@ExtraLife4Kids
. I'd love for you to be a part of it.
It's been a rollercoaster the last 24 hours but let's show everyone what
#FFXIV
@FF_XIV_EN
is about!
Let's Play Games and Heal Kids ♥
One of my biggest fears with my ADHD, is coming across rude or self absorbed.
When I hear something I relate to or understand, my mind will rattle off an event or story to show that I understand not realising I’m possibly ‘making it about me’.
I’m sorry friends.
I explained to my colleague why we should avoid invasive questions like "So when are you having a baby? Getting married?"
She huffed "We weren't this sensitive when I grew up"
Back in your day, we wouldn't be allowed in the same room, Susan. We've normalised empathy since then.
@omgthecheat
🙄
I will never buy into the ‘I’m just a guy on the internet’ when you have a sizeable following and visibility. People are listening to what you have to say - there is no opt-out option.
Saving face on X while saying this on stream is wild.
Remembering whenever FFXIV won multiple "Best Community" Awards and the FFXIV community giving themselves a pat on the back, to now.
Sometimes I get whiplash from seeing how quickly we go from "they're only human!" to "small indie company btw"
Y'all really switch it up.
I'm sorry I've been absent of late - I need your help 🙏🏾
Pride and shame has always dictated if I can ask for help, but right now, all I can do is ask.
Anything you can give, a boost, or share of this would be appreciated.
Thank you, truly. 💛
This is for everyone who sees a streamer live and wants to go say hi, but talk themselves out of it because it's been too long since we've been in there, so we tell ourselves we'll go in next time, but next time never comes.
Just say hi, the smile on their face will be worth it.
@melody_ow
@Hardstuck4200
Yeah he’s going round putting that response in all the the replies like that validates his behaviour. She forgiving him doesn’t make the way he and his friends acted and behaved ok.
💀Rebranding Update🌸
I'm going to be initiating my Twitch and Twitter "rebrand" on the 06 August 2023.
If you see me in your streams or tweets reintroducing myself, It's only because I don't want you to wonder who I am.
🥹
Any 🩷 / 🔁 on this would be appreciated.
Do you know what a non-variety streamers biggest fear is?
It's playing a variety game and seeing how many people were there for you, and how many people were there for the game.
In the UK, Far right groups are targeting attacks on people of colour.
Today they are targeting my city so we were sent home early.
We were told if we were attacked, to show them our hospital badge because hopefully they might take pity on us.
I’m tired. I’m so fucking tired.
Me getting into the Final Fantasy franchise after experiencing
@FF_XIV_EN
and playing Final Fantasy X thinking it won't make me cry as much as FFXIV did...
I've not been streaming recently because I've been working overtime to get everything for my mum's bucket-list before she gets too sick to travel.
Swallowing my pride to ask, but anything is appreciated. (Pics will be posted of her journey!)
🙏
From someone who streamed to 2 viewers for years at the start of my streaming journey, to be seen and given the opportunity by

My handsome boy, you came into a household of broken hearts and you healed us all and have left us with a different kind of broken heart.
Fly high, Remo 💛
Raise your hands if you've singlehandedly been attacked with the following phrases when you've walked into a shared living space.
"Oh look who came out of their cave?"
"Oh, you're alive?!"
"Is this a hotel?"
LET ME LIVE. Mainly alone. But LET ME LIVE.
I handed in my notice for my job 2 days ago.
I began to hate going to work. I would finish work and then spend my nights and ENTIRE Sundays dreading going in the next day.
I may have traded one stress for another, but I'm just tired y'all... send me your good vibes please 😮💨

Normalise explaining things without dismissing it as "it's really easy"
What's easy to you may take someone a few more tries.
I can't tell you how many times I've been scared to ask for help because I've been made to feel like I shouldn't have to.
You wouldn’t go to someone’s house and say ‘Oh, <friend> is home now, I’m gonna hang with them instead’ so why tell streamers you’re leaving their stream to go watch someone else?
Your time is valuable! But you don’t need to remind a streamer they aren’t worth yours.
Just go.
CW - Depression
I grew up in a house where crying was for the weak and depression and medication was something the western world made-up.
I've not been doing well, and at almost 30, my brother looked at me with fear in his eyes and took me to a session.
~ See you in March x
I've spent the last 2 and a half years on the health care front lines and managed to be dodge COVID and I've finally caught and succumbed to it...
No streams this week. Send good juju please. Food. Pets. Your recent achievements. Anything... 🥺
⛓️New Model Debut - January 2024⛓️🌸

To make my debut special I will be doing my first ever subathon to celebrate not only my rebrand but also getting
Hi all just a quick update to say, I've removed VT from my username!
Don't overthink it! I still love Vtubing, but who knows, maybe a Fleshcam stream every now and then...
Anyway carry on loving on me, fank yew
As a content creator, I can sometimes get too nervous to put myself out there and meet new friends but I'm so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone; And then to have been extended this invite, means a lot😭!
Looking forward to getting to know more of cuties!
@FFXIVTubers
😘
From a pair of boys who where raised and taught by a queen 👸🏾 to be appreciative of every minute we have on this planet -
I just want to say thank you to everyone, no matter how fleeting our time may have been together - for being a part of my life.
Happy Birf, me.
😚✌️
On behalf of streamers who suffer with imposter-syndrome...
Thank you to the people who hear a streamer ask if "anyone wants to join?" while setting up to do a dungeon / raid or party game, and volunteers themselves and joins.
It means means more than you'll ever know to us. 🙏🏾
@anniefuchsia
I'm sorry that kind of experience is something anyone has been told to "get used to" or expect.
The FFXIV Team (in my opinion) hold their community to a higher standard and I'm all for it.
A year ago today, I joined a team I have had the upmost respect for since the day I discovered the FFXIV directory!
The people I have in my life because of these cuties is something I'll be forever grateful for.
@TheAethernet

I need more people who grew up with a strained relationship with their parents to get into mental health, because If I have one more therapist tell me the answer to my problems is "communicating with my parents" I'm going to order everything off the Five Guys menu.

Growing older's not so scary. I promise!
Time let me fall in love with things I was too scared to try and I heal wounds younger me tried to bury.
Looking back's ok, especially when it's to see how far you've come 💪!
🎂💛
I've said 0 words to them since they left my discord 10 months ago after I deleted an inappropriate message.
They didn't like it, they left.
I've not said one word about them, but they felt the need to reach out 10 months later to ruin my day.
Have the day that you deserve.👌
For anyone that missed it...
I will be debut'ing a new model I designed and worked on with my mum and the wonderful

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but when I discovered Twitch, I knew no one, had nothing and streamed to 1 viewer for YEARS.
There were MANY days I thought ‘what’s the point?’
But thinking about all the friendships I would have missed out on if I had quit keeps me going.♥
Can we be happy for content creators wanting to grow their platforms instead of seeing them as being ingenuine or greedy?
There wouldn't be raised eyebrows at any one else wanting to see growth from a hobby or career they were investing time, energy and money into.
Being a "low spoons" content creator, networking is tough.
I'm a silent supporter. I see tweets but don't always reply. I watch streams but rarely chat.
There won't be a memory or moment for people to recall. Sad truth is, If no-one knows you are "there", it's like you weren't.
From just seeing my thumbnail in the Twitch directory, certain people will have made their mind about whether they will want to watch me or not, and no they weren’t looking at the gameplay.
That’s what I mean when I say I have to fight and work harder to keep up with my peers.
💀🌸Collab?🌸💀
I've always been nervous or shy'd away from collab streams but told myself this year I'm going to push myself out of my comfort zone...
If we're mutuals or would like to become mutuals and want to collab, let me know 😳

Things you might not realise are spoilers -
🛑Talking about how much you love/hate a character someone has just met. (Let them figure out why themselves, don't bias them!)
🛑Spamming cry / sad / angry emoji's before a cutscene.
🛑"This is my favourite part"
Reminder: When you invite people to discord group DM's, everyone can see the entire message history...
I felt gross seeing my name thrown around based purely from a numbers perspective. I know collab's are useful to extend reach but damn talk about ME as a person, at least once?
Sometimes I feel like I don't have a lot of friends in the creator space because I don't have a lot to give.
I'm not a super raider, I can't help you get clears.
I don't have a crazy big following, I can't help you grow.
I don't have any connections, to help connect you...

Reminder that it doesn't matter how long someone has been in your streams, your community or your life - It doesn't give them a free pass to make you feel terrible.
Curate your life, like your life depends on it - because it does.
ADHD affects our lives a lot more than people realise.
What may look to you as "speaking too fast" or "can't stick to one game" is something we're having to fight every fibre of our brains to stop. Paired with social anxiety it's DRAINING.
We're trying friends.
I'm trying.
As it's Pride awareness month (in the UK), after years of dancing around conversations, today I said "I'm gay" at work.
As LGBTQIA2+ folk we are CONSTANTLY coming out to people throughout our lives and it doesn't get any less nerve-wracking bracing ourselves for a reaction.
Thank you
