#faceless streamers

i suppose if george had a diary it would have a large section titled

‘every day i wake up and want to hop on a plane to america and fall in love with some florida boy but i cannot because i am twenty-four not sixteen anymore’

idk why but knowing that dream and corpse probably just chat and call casually makes me really happy

Me: man my head really hurts. I should probably listen to quiet, soothing music so my headache doesn’t get worse

*hot demon b!tches near u plays*

Me: perfect

I keep thinking about how stressful being faceless online must be for people like Ranboo and Dream.

Like I know irl content hasn't been possible for a while bc *gestures at everything* but now that things are opening up and people can travel more like..

I keep thinking at Wilbur and George's irl stream and how quickly and often they got recognised (and yeah they were literally telling people where they were but still)

And like, just thinking like if George were to visit Dream, he's so recognisable that Dream would have to where a mask or something whenever they went outside together just to be safe you know?

Or maybe Ranboo visiting Tubbo or Tommy, because people know to look for them near where he does his irl streams, so they'd have to be constantly vigilant and again, Ranboo would need to wear his sunglasses and mask everywhere.

And even wearing that stuff would be scary because people are shitty and it wouldn't take much for one shitty person to come up for a photo and knock the mask off and suddenly your face is literally going to be all over the internet.

Maybe I just have too much anxiety but damn.

The realization that Ranboo likes gummy worms just hit me.

I personally love gummy worms. I will beg my parental figure to get them if I ever see them. I would probably die for gummy worms.

So the fact that Ranboo likes gummy worms makes me extremely happy.

I've got two things to address.

1. Dream's song Roadtrip. I've recently seen some hate on the song. I can understand if that kind of music isn't your style or your type, and that's perfectly fine. You can like whatever music you want, it's your choice. Honestly, if I heard the song a few years ago, I'd skip over it. But now I think it's a pretty good song and I'd listen to as many times as I want. Saying things like "I can't believe people actually like this song" or "This is bad" is kind of insensitive and offensive. If you don't like, just skip over it and ignore it. You don't have to shut others down for liking it. And you don't need to be offensive towards the creators of the song. Keep in mind that they took time and worked hard to make sure the song was good.

Either you're only saying those things because you want to start drama, or you're not thinking about the effects it could have. If you're doing it to start drama, just don't. This fandom has enough to deal with already. If you're not thinking of the effects, please be more mindful. Some people can fall victim to a kind of peer pressure. If they like something, but then they see others shutting that thing down, it could cause the person to also try and push it away, even though it makes them happy. So think before you speak.

2. This one might offend some people and I am sorry. If you're struggling with a mental illness and you haven't found help, please find help. Or even try talking to a friend or family member about it. Again, I'm sorry if I offend some people.

Please don't try to talk about your mental illnesses in stream donations or chats. These streamers are complete and total strangers to us, not to mention the thousands of people watching the stream. It doesn't matter how long you've watched the person or if you're a subscriber/follower, they are strangers. The hard truth is that streamers are not our friends. They don't know us and we don't know them. So please don't try and talk about things like mental illnesses to the streamers. It can make them uncomfortable and it can make the other viewers uncomfortable.

The streams are there to help some people get away from that stuff. It's like an easy escape. So when it's talked about, it's just taking the joy out of the streams for people.

I'm sorry if I offend anyone.

I was reading through a little article about the Dream SMP and I came across this one line describing Dream..

"The game is his art, and the stream is his theater".

I really like that line. That's a good line.
