this shit is exhausting, go hug a fucking transgender or something, we gotta figure out how to stay close and make it through this

i’ve never kissed a trans girl or even held hands and i think i wanna change that some day fr

me & women should cuddle n stuff

Yeah, you are.
Good job thinkin 🫶💜

I have gone through that exact thought process many times, for me at least every new thing I learn to say or thing for some euphoria gets hit with it in some way, just gets easier to remind myself over time. And someday it becomes a reflex. It's tiring but woman.

Aww shucks Im just spitting the truth, I can say though for me its tough to write when Im not actively playing along with something.

Finding the next chord that sounds nice changes my inflection, then gives an idea to continue etc, I also don't know about key and I've been fine so far lmao.

Hell yeah they're pretty good (and yeah I've no idea what they're like), but keep that shit pouring cause you've got some great stuff in yo brain 😊 can't wait to hear something someday eheh.

Very much so, your natural articulative talent is too great to be perceived as anything but poetry 💜 (i tried to be poetic)

If you've wrote a song or 2 I'm sure theyre also amazingly put, or will be when you do hehe 🫶

What a beautiful way to put it. And agreed wholeheartedly.

Are you a poet? Cause this shits poetic as hell. 💜🫶🕯️

Nah you're like chaotic good with a evil side with a little sprinkle of evil when you need to 👻

I've been faking it for YEARS , how long till i make it ahaha....

An epic battle between a heroine and a powerful goddess is happening. The battle now lasts for 3 days nonstop, until the goddess manages to get a grab of the woman warrior with her tentacles: "Foolish heroine! I, The Goddess of Darkness, will suffocate you to death!!!" Said the dark deity, triumphantly. "Any last wor--" but before she could finish her sentence, the heroine had a quite unusual response to being squeezed by the deity's tentacles... "Aahnn harder!" Uttered the mortal woman, unprompted. The two women looked at each other with a great mix of confusion and awkwardness, but also a barrier might've been broken... Years passes and the two enemies are now married and with a demigod daughter. The woman warrior, snuggling with the former evil goddess, then reveals to the young woman: "And that's how I met your mom, sweetie!", to an awkward "Oh." as response. And they lived happily ever after.

IT’S HERE!!!! 💜💜💜

In all my time on Twitch, I have rarely had the opportunity to discover someone as good-natured, buddy-coded and friend-shaped as Marble. A creative, ambitious, and comfy streamer, timezones have forced me to associate Marble's streams with the first coffee of each early morning, and it's a comparison I don't view as entirely inaccurate. I asked marblefizz; in your experience, what makes for a fond stream memory? "The streams that I have done that are the most memorable to me, or have brought me the most joy, if you will, are the ones where I've been able to share a novel experience with other people. Whether it's sharing in nostalgia, or seeing something for the first time together, it's those streams that I look back on the most fondly. Even games that ended up becoming mainstays for me started out as these kinds of experiences."

@/marblefizz tried to sneak away by removing the underscore from their name, but alas, they're in the Guide regardless. One of my oldest friends on Twitch and someone I'm delighted to list here.

Sunday is my affiliate anniversary, and it does not feel like I've been streaming for a year.
That said, I do plan to do a longer stream that day. Starting with a morning study, moving to games, and maybe wrapping up with some personal art to end out the day.

I hope you'll stop by!

Heeey hey hey watch it im dyeing over here!

"Why are you blue..?"

^ my therapist be like

"We can raid Ratmum!" my friend Hana shouts, "I LOVE raiding Ratmum!" It honestly didn't take long for me to work out why; I've always felt welcome in Sarah's lovely group, a feeling I'm certain many can attest to. I asked Ratmum; what are your goals with running your community? "As a neurodivergent person, creating a neurodivergent friendly community is important to me. I've often felt out of place in many communities, both in person and online, which is why I started streaming to build those connections. I'm passionate about creating a space where people can relax, be themselves and take a break from the world. Kindness, empathy and understanding are the foundation of everything I do and I encourage that in my community. I want my viewers to interact and make friends, not just with me but with each other without feeling like they need to mask who they are. Twitch has become a huge part of my life as a full-time streamer. It's my creative outlet and I'm constantly learning and I find it incredibly rewarding. My community brings me so much joy and their support has made my dreams possible. I'll be forever grateful for them."

When I conjured the idea of a shoutout series, I knew for a fact that it would have to start with @/Ratmum - one of the most genuine and friendly people I've ever had the privilege to meet on my journey.

In just the time I've known Ricky, I've watched him reverse-subathon himself offline, scuff his stream to Unregistered HyperCam 2 level, and host a Royal Rumble made exclusively from custom made characters based on his viewers. His priority is keeping Twitch fun, something you might take for granted until you experience a genuinely entertaining mastermind like Raw. I asked raw_genesis; what's the furthest you've gone for a bit? "It could be the time I pre-recorded myself 'dying' and turning into a ghost on stream. I have a sub-wheel where one of the rewards is Russian Roulette with a nerf gun. I had to wait months for someone to spin the wheel, for it to land on Russian Roulette, then to actually lose, all the while dropping hints that exceeding more and more unlucky and ominous things had been happening to me lately. When everything aligned and that finally happened I played a pre-recorded video overlayed on the stream at 25% opacity of myself raising from my chair as a ghost and interacting with the stream and room for 10 minutes before miraculously coming back to life."

I sometimes think of @/raw_genesis as a sort of mad scientist on Twitch due to his penchant for huge, theatric jokes, and it makes tuning into every stream of his an absolute joy.

Some streamers can have your full affection right off the bat. This is how I feel about Opal, with whom my first interaction was watching their rabbit ears enthusiastically bob along to music. An incredibly talented artist, a charming presence, and a good friend - their streams truly have something for everyone. I asked OpalReflections; what drew you towards streaming? "I grew up playing games in a group. My baby sitter had all of the game systems but only one tv, so all us kids had to take turns playing games together - so I grew up enjoying games as a group activity, especially puzzles and plot discussions. I have loved puzzles since I was young, I basically have always devoured anything detective related. So I made this my niche, I really enjoy learning through puzzles and have gained a large swatch of random knowledge over the years about all sorts of topics because of it. I also do feel a bit fancy when I am able to very quickly decipher a puzzle and execute the solution before people even realize what the puzzle is."

@/OpalReflections is an incredibly talented bunny who has quickly become one of my 'comfort streamers.' Always enthusiastic, always kind, and always a delight to experience.

Kel describes herself on her Twitch page as "coffee enthusiast and ugly crier," which - given I met them while they were playing Alien: Isolation and talking about being overcaffeinated - is an incredibly accurate tone setter for a channel I've come to absolutely love dwelling in. I asked keltherys; what's your main interest in streaming? "I discovered streaming shortly after Animal Crossing: New Horizons was released. I had just left the US only a few months before to live in the UK with my partner; then the pandemic hit. It was in watching others and being in these spaces I was drawn to streaming myself. I wanted to foster community and connection and play silly little games along the way. I want to continue to provide a space that is welcoming to everyone who finds us. Getting to share my passion for games, art, and yapping really gives me a creative outlet which I love. I've already met some awesome people starting my journey with this and hope that'll continue. We can all feel isolated at times, or just have one of those days, and having something to be a part of for a few hours a week can really help."

@/keltherys is a newer find to me, but I've been instantly drawn to her channel for both mutual interest and goals, as well as the complete certainty that a person like them can spearhead a big, wonderful community.

Space is big. Twitch doubly so. It can be very easy to be lost in the fold.
