My favorite twitch streamer used to have two cats like that. I started out mostly lurking in her channel and barely ever commenting so she ended up referring to me by the laid back cats name and a really funny but hyper guy who’d sometimes go off on huge rants (probably had aspergers) got her crazy cats name.
Now I’m depressed though cause I have to relieve the worst mistake of my life.
I had been faithfully watching her for almost a year and she mostly played League and Hearthstone plus sandboxy fun games like Little Big Planet and Minecraft. Those games weren’t really my cup of tea put her personality and sense of humor were so great that I didn’t care.
She only had about 60 average viewers but we all adored her and there was a great sense of community among everyone. I was super excited that night cause it was her one year twitch anniversary and she invited us all to drink with her to celebrate.
I woke up with a massive hangover still in front of the computer and instantly went to her twitch page to check out the vod and was met with a “this account does not exist or has been deleted message.” I’m not proud but my first thought was hoping that she had gotten a bit to flirty in her drunken state and maybe even flashed chat which led to a temporary ban from twitch, I then went to her twitter and her last tweet was “I’m sorry, I just can’t even…I’m out.” I started to replay the night back in my head and noticed one of my “hidden” folders was open and ohhh no..oh god no…
The night started out great, with many toasts to her subs and longtime lurkers but as she drank more she gradually got more and more morose and started to open up about her personal life. She said she loved streaming but she wanted to do this as a career and her parents had given her a year to prove it was viable until she needed to get a “real job” and her time was pretty much up and she was scared. She also talked about how she was undateable (very untrue!) and no man would ever want her. All she really wanted out of life other than making it as a streamer was to be a housewife and mother but she would probably screw that up too, fuck my life!! And she tilted the webcam away so we couldnt see her cry.
I was drinking shots of whiskey to her swigs of champagne and was even drunker than her at this point, and typed “Actually you’d be an amazing mother!!!” And I then uploaded a shota gallery of her and me I had been working on for 6 months to imgur and being a longtime mod I was able to link it directly in chat.
I’m a cartoon storyboard artist by trade and had put more effort into this than my real job. In between the sex parts it was full of inside jokes from the stream and the storyline was basically “me coming home from school and walking in on mom in the shower” which should be familiar to anyone familiar with the “genre.” It even involved several personal aspects of her life I had discovered from a bit of internet detective work.
Seeing the look of horror dawn on her face as she scrolled in disbelief I immediately started apologizing but she ended the stream and I screamed fuck!!! and punched a hole in the wall and started chugging the whiskey in an effort to forget what I did and soon passed out.
It’s been 3 months and she hasn’t come back, the only saving grace is I deleted the gallery before passing out and nothing made it onto r/cringe or livestreamfails. If I’d just offered her kind words of support she probably would have ended up streaming on Saturdays and we might even have a budding relationship going on.*
