> The stream turns on, and many people already jump in.
“Hey everyone, my broskies, my sis, my sibs!” You say, voice cheery, open arms, the usual greeting. “This stream is going to be a bit different than the usual. As you guys know, I’ve posted a hiatus way back then, well, not so long ago, but it sure feels like a long time! Swear time didn’t pass this slow when I was finishing Darkest Dungeon in the hardest difficulty nor Crypt of the Necrodancer with all Stories Mode on!” You laugh, everyone does.
You hold some fondness to your fans, in the end. You sigh, and look again the the screen through the star shaped glasses. “I have some important things to tell you all. First, I am going to end my career as a streamer and grubtuber, for good. I want to move on to new, fresher things, and still need a bit of rest, and some moon bathing, god knows I haven’t been outside for long!”
“Don’t be sad, ok? I loved being gamerbro, maybe not so much for the games, but for you guys. It doesn’t sound like me, but I used to be a way too serious person, and starting my career on streams and games have taught me how to relax, how I can just sit back, kick my feet up, and have a good time, you know? Not that streaming isn’t competitive or a strong business, it is still a lot of effort, but compared to my last job, it was refreshingly easy. God, I talk a lot.”
“So I am going to post the rest of the already filmed videos I got for you guys, and at the end there will be a compilation of my craziest moments! Or the strangest, the bestest, all of them, all these moments I actually looked back at and said ‘fuck, this is worth it’! And then I will leave the stream and the grubtube channels open, you guys can revisit the good times whenever. Maybe I will watch some myself! But now, I’ve got few other goals in my life, and I should stop ignoring them.”
A teal colour creeps up your face. “The second thing, and I think it’s the most important thing is...” You then take the tyrian coloured hair clip, and put it on your hair. “I’ve been talking to someone really special in my life, someone I admired and have loved maybe since I know myself as a person. And... we’re together! We’re a couple, and I don’t want to take that for granted, I want to pour work into this relationship as much as I like to pour work on everything else I love. Her name is Meulin Leijon, also known as Her Imperial Benevolence.”
“I love her. It’s all I’m going to say otherwise I am going paragraphs and paragraphs about it. You guys will probably hear of me because of papparazzi or the likes. But I wanted you all to know first through me, I love her. I love her, I will support her. And if you all are ever blessed to find someone that loves you just as much, then please never fail to remind them you love them, and that you support them. It’s really important you do, let’s support anyone we love, not just quadrants, ok?”
Your face is teal up to your ears already. “T-that asides, I also love you guys the most, and want you all to pursue what truly makes you happy, thanks for coming to my last livestream. And thanks for all of those that have supported me through all this time, and haven’t given up on me.”
You smile, sheepish at the camera, maybe you’ve talked too much, and you click the button of the camera, and it turns off.
Then you turn to Meulin, that was on the other side of that very same camera.
“There is a lot we need to talk about.”
