Schedule
I work a few different freelance jobs and so my schedule is constantly in flux. I usually stream weekday at 11:00 AM or 12:00 PM in the EST/EDT timezone. I'll attach my weekly schedule for the current week below:
Content I Stream/Create
I usually stream otome visual novels or joseimuke mobile games. Some of my favorites are Ensemble Stars!! Basic and Music, Bandori, Taisho x Alice, Tears of Themis, Hatoful Boyfriend, and BUSTAFELLOWS.
Sometimes I'll stream variety content such as JRPGs, scuffed karaoke (yes it is always scuffed lol), baking or decorating desserts (rare because this is messy and requires lots of planning!), crocheting, and cozy chatting content. I like to experiment with my content when I have more time in my schedule!
I'm currently working on a larger video project where I summarize the entirety of the Ensemble Stars story backlog and lore on YouTube. The series is still very much a work in progress but I do have a livestream VOD where I explained some basics about the game universe and characters which you can watch here:
I also really love music! I try to hold karaokes as much as I can and I've recently start recording covers songs! You can check out my first cover song below. It would mean a lot to me if you gave it a like as well!
Other than that I do a bit of voice acting, sometimes while I'm playing VNs I'll even try to voice over the characters. But mostly I just record short voice clips and post them to YouTube and TikTok.
Now that I have this page I hope to post some exclusive Tumblr content such as video scripts for my YouTube videos and reviews for games, animes, mangas, and novels! I'll link back to some of those posts when I do create them.

The new Netflix anti-password sharing policies are a hilarious reminder that execs at Netflix don’t remember piracy exists.
The big shift from piracy towards not streaming services, but one streaming service – Netflix – and then other equivalents, stemmed from convenience; prices were reasonable, one could share an account with a group of friends or with family members, and the catalog was acceptable for the advantages the service ultimately brought.
Netflix’ catalog-to-convenience ratio nowadays is diarrhea. For every hit they have twenty flops, they hitch up prices, and now they are implementing a truly cutthroat manner of controlling who uses an account and where from – only one primary connection may use an account, and MUST watch something every 31 days or else be blocked, all other connections will be blocked, and if you have to travel, you have to request a code, yes, request a god damn Netflix code that will let you use Netflix elsewhere but only for 7 days – that is sure to be well received by the masses.
I think Netflix forgot they are not an essential good, they are luxury, an expensive one at that, and one that can very easily be replaced with some swashbuckling yo-ho-hoing.
In an ironic twist, Netflix is pulling off a Blockbuster.
anyways, instead of focusing all your energy on calling out Succession and the Last of Us for being anti-palestinian, here's some of my favourite media made by Palestinians 🇵🇸 and their allies...
Salt of this Sea (2008). Dir. Annemarie Jacir. Heist film set in Palestine about 2 Palestinians who help a Palestinian American woman rob a British bank who refused to give her the money her grandfather left her.
Netflix original series, Mo, created by Mo Amer. Dramedy about Mo, a Palestinian American without papers, trying to stay out of trouble until his US citizenship is approved (he's already been waiting for 12 years). This just got renewed for a second season!!!!
Farha (2021). Dir. Darin J. Sallam. Coming of age story about a 14 year old girl trying to survive the Nakba in 1948. Tw: settler colonial violence.
In Between (2016). Dir. Maysaloun Hamoud. A film about 3 Palestinian women, one of whom is queer, in their 20s living under occupation. Heart-warming story about friendship, solidarity and revenge. Tw: sexual assault.
In Vitro (2019). Dir. Larissa Sansour. Breathtaking short scifi film set in a future where Bethlehem has been destroyed by an ecological disaster and two scientists from different generations are trying to remember what happened. This film is pure poetry and I think about it constantly.
It Must Be Heaven (2019). Dir. Elia Sulieman. A charmingly absurdist film about Elia Sulieman seeing parallels to Palestine everywhere he goes as he tries to make a film about his homeland.
The Crossing (2017). Dir. Ameen Nayfeh. Short film about Palestinian siblings trying to cross an Israeli checkpoint to visit their grandparents.
Ramy. Episode 3 of season 3: 'American Cigarettes'. Far and away the best episode of TV of 2022, and also directed by Annemarie Jacir. Ramy goes to occupied Palestine to make a diamond deal with some Israeli brokers, but his horniness takes him to The Other Side. I think about this episode almost everyday, it's unlike anything I've ever seen.
Freedom Is A Constant Struggle by Angela Davis. A book of interviews and essays conducted by Angela Davis on how systems of racism and colonial violence are all connected, and how solidarity between communities of colour are vital, using the long-standing allyship between Palestinians, Aboriginal peoples and Black Americans as case studies.
As fine and good as it is to call out Zionism in media, rmr to also support Palestinians, their work and their art. Feel free to suggest more ❤️
I've posted this on Twitter and Discord and I think that my Tumblr community, however small and inactive I might be in it, is important enough to me that I want to give this update here. But I also don't have the mental strength to rehash this with any proper emotion so unfortunately here is just a copied version of my Discord announcement:
This wasn't an announcement I wanted to make but I think at this point it's unavoidable. Back in November of 2022 my mother's health took a turn and it has been slowly getting worse since. Now we officially have a diagnosis and it looks like her recovery will be more complicated than we realized. The reason I am making this known is that I am the person who will be caring for her most during this time and as such my content plans will change. I still don't know yet how things will change exactly, but for now I wanted to give a warning that my schedules and plans will be flexible and things might be cancelled on a whim without much notice.
I am sorry for this and I hope you can all understand. I will promise to commit to putting out my music content, covers will go up monthly or so. I hope to still stream on a semi-regular basis but that takes a kind of time and effort and also emotional energy which I cannot promise I will have. Things are still up in the air so I can't say much more but thank you for sticking with me so far. I hope I can still do my best for you.
