It is WILD that LGBTQ+ people spend their lives fighting away baseless paedophilia accusations and when one of the biggest streamers FULLY ADMITS TO IT, they still get flocked with support.
It's genuinely sick. Bottom of the stomach, harrowing shit.
I'm saying this again, with my whole chest:
If you support the HP game and defend your right to play/stream it - or even happily house uncontested conversation around the franchise in your communities - you do not have the right to claim your space is safe for LGBTQIA+ people.
> Forget to close OBS
> Be presenting in a work meeting
> Have someone follow you
> Your follow alert goes off, which is your own voice shouting "SPREAD THAT SEED"
> Have the most awkward 5 seconds of silence
> Finish presentation and immediately look at relocating

For those wondering: Gender fluid is a gender identity that means the individual fluctuates between two, maybe more, genders and/or pronouns.
And this isn't woke pandering - Loki has been Gender Fluid in the comics for literal years. <3
Lurkers - don't ever feel like you need to EXPLAIN why you're lurking. Life is busy, and we're super happy that you decided to open the stream despite that.
If a streamer ever makes you feel bad for lurking/asks you to explain your lurk, be wary.
Consume Twitch your way.
You don't get to boast about supporting the LGBTQIA+ community while happily supporting/putting money into the pocket of the UK's loudest TERF.
Trans people ask for the bare minimum here, and if you can't even meet that...?
My surgery was a success. Heart is back in a normal rhythm. Recovery looks promising. Am on first name terms with most doctors and nurses. Outlook is good. ๐
Since tweeting about my gender journey yesterday Iโve noticed a number of people unfollowed me, so in reaction Iโm making the following changes:
โจMore tweets about my genderโจ
โจHolding the door open for you on the way outโจ
โจLaughing maniacally in enbyโจ
Heart Update:
When I was in hospital, my heart had swollen to dangerous levels. Today, at my 3 months check up, Iโve been told itโs now not only down, but in completely normal size range.
So my heart isnโt as big, but it works, damnit! โบ๏ธโบ๏ธโบ๏ธ
Today marks 25 years since my mum lost her fight to cancer.
While I have been blessed with family, I do hate the fact I never got to hug her, or tell her how much I appreciate her.
I can only hope that I'm still making her proud.
Love you, mum. โค๏ธ
It's been a year since I had my heart surgery. Had my year check up today.

Echo cardiogram: ๐
Doctors Reaction: ๐จโโ๏ธ๐
No more hospital visits, no more doctors visits, no more medication.
WE LIVIN', PEEPS. ๐๐๐
Day 24 in Hospital:
IM FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Iโve been discharged and back to the rents house for a few days of rest then back to normality this weekend.
Day 1 in Society:
Me: โOMG MUM WHATS THAT?!โ
Mum: โThatโs a tree, Rikโ
Me: โHot damn...โ

Yes! There are many people who identify outside the normal binary genders of male and female - non-binary, or without gender entirely, such as agender! More information is here:
Today marks my 5th Modiversary. 5 whole years at Jagex. It's been an amazing journey, and my adventures as part of the Jagex family have been phenomenal.
But even more so, it's been great to be part of this wonderful community. Thank you all for making these 5 years the best <3
Me coming out as agender using he/they pronouns after years of self discovery: ๐
Me realising I feel far more comfortable with people using โtheyโ and realising my gender discovery journey is far from over: ๐
Hi!
After many months (and in all honesty, years) of soul searching, self discovery, reading and listening, I have some news.
Iโm agender!
Ive always been very ambivalent and uninterested in my own gender, for a while I thought that was just my general attitude.
It's that time of year that I'm seeing peoples New Years Resolutions for Twitch and one really stands out to me as dangerous, or self-sabotage:
"I'll have X Followers/CCV by December!"

@joeaustin31491
Because streaming and buying the HP game means putting money into the pocket of the UK's richest, loudest TERF who is actively using her vast wealth and platforms to remove the rights of Trans people.
So, it's incredibly political, yes. That's kind of the point.
Hey ya'll - for those who don't know, I'm now PR Manager for Hi-Rez Studios. *waves*
As such, I'm looking to update all our info - specifically, if you're looking to be on our press lists.
Fire over your details (DMs open!) and I'll get you hooked up.
RT's appreciated! ๐
Not 100% complete, but Kiki is very close to being pride ready and I am EXCITED. ๐ฅณ๐ฅฐ
(Also, sheโs a fucking giant, you wonโt lose her in the pride crowd)

You can find snippets from my interview, along with many other wonderful queer individuals, here:
If you got this far, I appreciate you reading. It's been... a trying 4 years. And I had a lot of thoughts after being reminded about it, and seeing pictures of me stuck in that hospital.
I want to continue living the life I thought I might not even have back then.
<3
Final Day:
For my last tweet as Jagex Sayln, I'll share with you all the wonderful gif that is currently playing around all the screens in the office today. I hate these guys.
Thank you all for being amazing. See you on the other side. โค๏ธ
Forcing anyone to come out is pretty nasty.
Forcing a bisexual to come out because they were in a straight presenting relationship and you didn't like it is genuinely abhorrent.
For the love of god, leave people alone and let them pace own their own lives.

TBH, if it was teams where you were handcuffed together for the entirety, I'd probably be down.

Him: Ah boyfriend and girlfriend?
Us: Ha, no...
Him: Oh, fiance?
Us: No...
Him: Married?!
Us: No. Just friends.
Him: Oh well, you never know what might happen ๐
Bitch, I'm pretty sure we do.
It's the anniversary of my mums passing today.
I barely got any time with her on this planet, but I still believe she teaches me everything I need.
Thank you for making me be true to who I am. Thank you for making me a fighter AND a defender.
I love you.
I get my second Pfizer jab tomorrow and here's a list of all the things I have planned to do:
โจContinue socially distancingโจ
โจContinue to wear a maskโจ
โจOnly leave the house when necessaryโจ
โจNot be a dickheadโจ
And I'm so excited.
"Do I HAVE to watch the other Marvel films before Endgame?"
No, just like you don't HAVE to read Harry Potter's 1 through 6 before reading 7, but good luck understanding wtf "Helga Hufflepuff's cup hosting a horcrux" means.
I just checked the comments of this and have already come across the term 'demonic' and the T slur, but no, there's absolutely not an LGBTQIA2+ problem that Twitch needs to address, nope, nuh-uh, no sireeeee.
All tests came back clear.
All scans came back clear.
All examinations were clear.
The problem was found, and it was tiny in comparison to what it potentially could have been.
Today I CELEBRATE!
...after I've finished crying out 4 weeks of pent up anxiety and stress.
Sooooo, I've kept this almost entirely off Twitter, however I've been going through some Medical Stuffโข, and while I don't want to open up much about it, I have a hospital appointment and examination tomorrow that I'm only just starting to realise I'm dreading.
Send hugs? D:
HAPPY AGENDER PRIDE DAY <3
Coming out as Agender a few months back felt like a weight off my shoulders and has allowed for even further self discovery of who I am as a person.
Reach out to an agender friend today and show them some love. <3
1 year ago today I was submitted to hospital with an acute heart condition, where I spent 4 weeks there, a cocktail of pills, a diagnosis telling me I may be on my death bed, surgery and another 4 recovering.
To say I'm glad to be alive is an understatement. Cherish life. <3
"I was thinking of streaming to encourage me to get through my backlog of games I have."

Yesterday, my sister won

for her Visual Effects work on the film Dunkirk.
Sheโs insanely talented and one of my role models in terms of work ethic and chasing your dreams. Itโs incredible to see the VFX industry recognises that too. ๐๐๐ป๐
Day 20 in Hospital:
Am starting the find the free pyjamas quite comfortable.
Told one of the nurses I fancied him whilst under sedation.
Not sure if I remember how to type on an actual keyboard.
Might need to marry my Nintendo Switch for all the support itโs given me.
Made an announcement on the Discord, but posting here too.
The Melon Patch is going to be spook-free throughout all October - there are many people who can't deal with a month of scares for a variety of reasons.
So if you need a place to relax next month, head on over. ๐
Soooo, I suppose harping on about Mix It Up constantly paid off?
VERY proud to say that I am now a

So, I've had a couple ciders and I've been wanting to tweet about this for a while...
But hi, my pronouns are now They/He, since I'm super vibing with being called They over He.
๐ฅบ
Hi, this is a reminder that despite the fact that Pride Month may be over in 2 days time, queer people are โจGAY AFโจ all year round, and you should give them your support then too.
And I will vomit rainbows on anyone who tells us to be quiet because our month is over. <3
๐ Y'ALL WE FRIGGIN' DID IT. ๐
The Melon Patch officially has ๐1000+๐ adorable little melons.
I can't thank everyone enough - less than a year ago I started streaming and considered this a pipe dream. So thank you so, so much.
<3 <3 <3
Day 16 in Hospital:
Watched my first ever episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Mistakes were made.
Thought the zombies had come as I heard a scream, but turns out someone dropped their jelly.
Only just realised its now March.
Today I went to the gym.
I don't care if that means little to you, it's a HUGE step for me and it's the start of breaking through so many personal barriers.
I'm proud of myself. ๐ค
After a VERY rocky week, I got written confirmation today that my last echocardiogram has shown no change for 5 years since my episode that almost gave me a death sentence.
As such, I no longer need annual check ups, and am no longer on the high risk list.

I've spent my life consistently underselling and belittling myself and my own achievements.
So, hi. My name's Rik. I've spent the past year building a queer AF inclusive community that I'm really frickin' proud of. ๐ค
Today has shown us that this country institutionally hates Trans people. So much so they'll use a never before legal tactic to block further rights for them.
But no, you keep buying that TERFs wizard game and telling yourself it doesn't help fuel the hatred towards queer people.

It's REALLY simple. The mere act of being on camera doesn't give you a right to comment on/input about a streamers body.
Unless invited, keep that crap to yourself. No comments, no 'advice', not even if you're 'worried'.
Be quiet.
Final selfie with this guy outside work. I got told my heart was fine today and then he goes and breaks it again by leaving ๐ข
