I’m so ashamed of this country. I’ve been trying to keep myself grounded, and have chosen to go on a political and social media detox for my own sanity… I’m preparing for the worst while hoping that it won’t be nearly as bad as we fear it will be.
HA, I try to keep my wits sharp, to keep up with my beloved friends... no, I've known for awhile I'd make a move like this if it happened. A year ago, I thought it would be announcing I'm moving back to American for streams every single night or something, but I can't logistically promise this yet. I'm glad I could share this philosophy without oversharing too much about my own trauma... its always been the hidden meaning behind it all, the card in my hand to play when the chips are down. In the end, games can help us, and I'm proof.
I'm Estonian, but because I have friends and girlfriends in the US, I couldn't sleep today. I feel sick... How could this happen?! Very nearly the worst possible outcome?
I think it's going to take a little while to fully understand the perfect sh*tstorm that happened here... I very much appreciate people thinking of us overseas, and very very much apologize for the negative influence America has on other countries.
Thank yo so much for this, it was beautiful and necessary. ngl, when I got where you were going here I started tearing up, but it was the tears of something opening and releasing.
As a 6'6" trans woman living in the South I'm so scared, my family and friends left me when I came out and I have no social support. Ill be a perfect target for bigots and I'm too poor to move anywhere. I really dont think I'm going to make it the next 4 years or longer.
Oh my goodness Evie, I'm so sorry. Your situation is exactly the type that comes to mind when I need to remind people how important it is to protect each other these days... I wish that I knew trans support networks or organizations to turn to in the south, because I know they exist... for what its worth, if timing ever works out for you to make it to a stream, we'd be more than happy to help take your mind off things for a bit. Fighting for you and everyone in the south however I can.
@mellovania thank you for your kind words :) I'm hoping if anything it'll be like most poloticians and they won't actually accomplish anything they promised. There are groups and I need to be more proactive about joining them. I work a lot so streams are hard to make live but I watch a lot of your videos! I'm 32 and I played the original Castlevanias and Metroid on the NES and I've always loved Metroidvanias but I stopped playing them for a while and apparently missed out on a lot of gems. Last year I picked up Dead Cells because of the Castlevania DLC and fell in love again! I watched the show and got all of the games collections on my switch, and I even have RoB and SotN running on my 3ds.
oh my gosh youre making me want to mod my 3ds immediately for those two on it... Im so so happy to have you watching my content gosh! I knew someday Id find the right fans, and you make it feel like I've succeeded. Lets both keep being brave and connecting with people!!! 🔥 🦇
@mellovania I love my modded 3ds! I even have FF7 running on it :3 I have a lot of games on that I've also bought on Switch because I'm more than okay with paying for games preservation, especially at the quality of the Konami collections. I just wish we could get RoB and SotN on Switch.
I’m not political myself, but I will say this: I shouldn’t be surprised that people would pick A FUCKING CRIMINAL WHO LITERALLY GOT A GUILTY VERDICT over a woman. We need someone with a different perspective. America needs to grow up. I get it, cheaper stuff sounds great. But I’ll take a more expensive life if that means the people around me can feel comfortable for who they are, instead of walking on Legos every damn day. I don’t know how much longer I can be in this country and timeline, I’m fucking done.

grounded is smart. take care
Thanks Mello. Needed this after I checked the news when I woke up.
Filming a "in case of political apocalypse break glass" video was a master stroke.

@mellovania Welp. Time to begin the Symphogear rewatch, I guess. Got me over depression and hopelessness before...

I guess we're in the right place and right time to heal then 😢
