Hi, I'm Liv (she/her). I'm a Content Creator & Twitch Streamer. I would love to talk to you more about our kind community.
Please take a moment to check out my media kit! (Updated August 2024)
Website:
if you ask someone "how are you" or "how was your weekend" and they answer truthfully, that is not "trauma dumping." existing in this world is so challenging. honesty and empathy is way more helpful than fake niceties.
you're not really for suicide prevention if you think it's gross and disgusting that a severely depressed person can barely shower or brush their teeth
if you're going to Hawaii for Pokémon Worlds, please be respectful of the natives who do not want you there. Please give your money to locals over corporations. Please wear a face mask as we are in a huge COVID surge and people deserve to live. It's not mild.

AuDHD here, I think this is a fantastic tip for a lot of people. for me, as soon as I have pajamas on, I will literally go right to bed. who cares about dinner or after work activities. 🤣🤣❤️
you're still a twitch streamer, even if:
- you can't commit to a consistent stream schedule
- you cancel streams frequently due to burnout or health issues
- your journey has a different timeline compared to those around you
give yourself some grace ❤️
I'm not sure if this is an autistic or neurodivergent thing, but I was curious if anyone else can strongly smell the heaters in your home when you switch from air conditioning to heat? the warm air smells and feels much different than the cold air. but who knows 😆
as we near the end of disability pride month, a kind reminder that ADHD is a disability. it's not really a mental illness, but a neurological disorder.
I just wanted to share this update with everyone regarding the SAG-AFTRA strike. they are not asking video game content creators to stop playing struck work, but they appreciate any solidarity and platforming you can provide their union members
as an autistic person, I don't understand discord etiquette. if someone has "do not disturb" on, should I not send them a message? I don't expect an immediate reply. I've also had people turn their status to DND as I am typing, and that honestly hurts unless it's a coincidence
an autistic person asking a bunch of questions isn't them being rude or condescending. we literally just want to know exactly what's going on. our questions don't have hidden motives. answer them without rudeness please

- you're racist
- you're transphobic

I bet a lot of people here won't admit that they play video games on the easiest difficulty. that's okay. I absolutely will. video games are supposed to be fun and help you relax from the stress of everyday life.
no, women streamers shouldn't feel like "it's part of the streamer experience" to have men make inappropriate clips of your streams. those people should be immediately banned and shared with others. it doesn't matter how much that person supports you financially either
in honor of pride month, it would be really cool if people who want to be allies would permanently remove their hogwarts house from their social media bios
neurodivergent humans who struggle at cleaning!
what is a tool, product, or tip you've discovered that has made cleaning, just the littlest bit easier and more accessible for you?
if your male friends say harmful sexist things while hanging out or streaming, you need to call that out. in that moment. they need to know it will not be tolerated by other men. don't just laugh and ignore the situation. actually stand up against sexism and bigotry
if we're mutuals, and you're okay with me DMing you for us to get to know each other more, chat about silly things, and maybe game together, could you comment a heart (❤️) below? it's really hard for me to read people and I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
if you're a streamer who actually has this rule, please let me know, so I can make sure to never send my community to you because I love nothing more than seeing cute emote art from everyone
i used another streamers emotes in someones chat & got told the next time ill be banned. im sorry if i was in anyone elses stream & offended u as well, im still very new here & im just excited i got to use something other than twitch emotes. ill be more mindful for now on😣💘
as tomorrow is April 1st, please know my community is a prank free zone. I am autistic & I have a hard time figuring out if something is serious or a joke. I care immensely & feel big feelings. I will instead accept punny jokes & "pranks" of surprise gifts off my wishlist /hj
I would love to invite more people to my community discord server! please know it's age 18+ and neurodivergent and queer centered. I hope to host community game nights and movie nights in the future.
please comment a heart below if you are interested in an invite!
I am fully taking advantage of this tweet and just wanna say hi, I am a streamer and content creator. I am an absolutely not intimidating introvert. I mainly play Pokémon and cozy games. We care about self-care and mental health here ❤️

as it is autism acceptance month, I was asked what video games I enjoy that have good autism representation. I honestly couldn't think of any. if you're autistic, are there any video games you like, that you think showcases autism well, or has autistic-coded characters?
some of the coolest women in gaming are being harassed by awful men on here right now. if you are a male content creator or streamer in gaming, I need you to speak up WAY LOUDER in support of women gamers LIKE NOW
is there a way to ask streamers why they don't use captions or if they'd consider using them for accessibility that won't come off as rude? I wish my favorite streamers would all at least try using closed captions.
ADHD is not a mental illness. it is a neurodevelopmental disorder. it is a disability. there is nothing wrong if you have to fight your brain to take a shower. you are supported here 🥰

as a child, I spent family thanksgivings hiding on the couch, playing pokemon on my gameboy, unsure how to talk or relate to anyone. they thought I was rude and spoiled. how did no one catch that I was actually autistic?
There are some twitch streamers on here that follow you, chat for a little, then unfollow you when you follow them back and they don't think you'll notice. That's a super lame way to grow a community.
being a full time content creator and/or streamer is the same thing as running a small business or brand, and I really wish people would better understand that before they jump all in
it makes no sense that there is little to no availability for doctor's appointments on the weekends. that would solve so many medical issues for people who cannot afford to take off work for medical care. weekend availability should be accessible and consistent. for therapy too!
no one gets to take away your queerness from you. you're still queer, if you're in a straight passing relationship. you're still queer, if you don't share your full identity to others. you're still queer, if no one knows yet. you still deserve to be celebrated 🥰
twitch streamers! if you work 35 and over hours a week for a full-time job, how many hours do you stream each week? how many hours do you spend editing, promoting and networking too?

if a streamer friend is having an issue with someone on twitch, I go right ahead into my moderation and ban them from my channel too. someone doesn't need to directly make me uncomfortable to face consequences for their harmful behavior
I'm so jealous of people who have a real best friend. like drop everything to comfort you best friend. know each other's favorite everything best friend. practically live in your home best friend. I don't know if I'll ever get to be someone's best friend.
I've had a really sad and hurtful Christmas Eve. I currently feel forgotten and underappreciated. Please send me cute pet pictures if you have them. Thank you ❤️
I've gotten quite a few unfollows this week because I've been hurting and not shouting toxic positivity. So I guess I'll spend a little time this week manually cleaning through who I follow here. It's my space too.
gifted kids who used to read book after book with no problem as a child, only for now to be a depressed adult who now has a hard time picking up a book to read the full thing out of enjoyment. raise your hand.
neurodivergent humans, what is the best thing you do to get yourself to drink more water? any flavor things work well? 💧💧💧
if you have no issues drinking water, I am so jealous, but this does not pertain to you 🙂
as we approach autism acceptance month next month, this is a kind reminder to not use puzzle imagery in your content. your autistic friend or family member is not a puzzle that needs to be solved.
I am sad to announce that I will be leaving my competitive Pokémon Unite team due to negative behavior and sexist comments made by the overall team captain to members of our team. I will not tolerate this behavior.
as we approach autism awareness month next month, this is a kind reminder to not use puzzle imagery in your content. your autistic friend or family member is not a puzzle that needs to be solved.

hyperfixations to me:
- I forget to eat
- I forget to hydrate
- I forget to take breaks
- I forget appointments
- I forget other people exist
- I don't stop until I am fully knowledgeable in a subject, or I've achieved some version of perfection.
it's not as quirky as you think
Autistic rant //
I'm legitimately infuriated by ppl who call any interest they have a "hyperfixation"
The word has lost all meaning because y'all keep using it for stuff that you just enjoy.
When does it start being a hyperfixation and stop being a normal interest.
hey there, if you also have ADHD, and you're surrounded by doom piles, and the thought of cleaning makes you want to cry, please know you're not alone ❤️
I've gotten into the habit of using they/them pronouns for everyone until they tell me their pronouns or I feel comfortable clarifying with them. Especially at work. I want to help people understand that pronouns just can't be assumed and should be fully respected.
hi, I'm autistic. if you don't use tone tags, I have a really hard time telling if your reply is genuine, serious, sarcastic, or a joke. please try to learn more about using tone tags. it's can be so easy for a text post to be misunderstood.
I originally made this account to make more friends who played video games, so I could stop feeling so lonely. I just don't know who to trust, and who actually likes me for me.
@pot8um
I was a barista, and I once had a man threaten to throw his hot coffee at my face because I wouldn't smile for him. it was really predatory and sexist. security had to get involved.
I really want to be a consistent twitch streamer, but it's so hard when you also work full time and are neurodivergent. I feel happy after my streams, but it's such an internal battle to feel good enough to press the go live button
you won't grow as fast as people who stream consistently for multiple days a week for long hours and that's okay. that doesn't make you a bad person or streamer. you can only meet yourself where you're at ❤️
every so often, my fiancé and I talk about how we find it strange that other couples don't seem to actually like each other. why wouldn't you marry your best friend? why would you marry someone without ever discussing politics or finances?
it's funny when people see my username and expect white girl cozy gamer toxic positivity, but I'm really here for self-care for actually mentally ill people who love pokemon, and truly struggle to take showers
for the love of god, do not message me these things:
- I have a question
- can I ask a question?
- we need to talk
- I need to tell you something
- are you free right now?
I need immediate direct context, or my brain will spiral out of control into worst case scenarios
The AuDHD reality that the words "We need to talk soon please" instantly send me into a state of near-overwhelm.
It sets my RSD firing wildly.
Usually for something that isn't a big deal at all.
If possible, please at least say "it's nothing bad" or give a brief summary...
I'm going to try and clean out who I'm following here slowly. If it seems like you're using me for a follow, your content isn't relevant to me, or we're in the same circles, but you're too good to follow me back, I shall be trying to put myself and my comfort first.
