Idia - Livestream

Idia was the very first to admit he was a total social hermit. From his noise canceling headphones to his anxious sputtering, Idia knew the reality of his status. He didn’t go around trying to deny it either. He was all doom and gloom—nerdy with a hearty dose of spazz. If he could see himself in the wild, he’d probably suffer a full-body cringe.

Gloomurai, on the other hand, was an absolute legend.

Which was why it was easy for Idia to put a bit more energy behind his voice when he was sure that red circle on the screen was glowing and his tablet pinged with a message Gloomurai had gone live on Spasm. “What’s up, all my Gloomys? Y’all hyped for today’s stream?”

The number in the corner of his screen gradually rose, already breaking the thousands thanks to the post he’d made on his official Gloomurai Magicam account. The chat picked up speed quickly until the only thing he could make out was the custom blue flame emojis Ortho had designed. His adrenaline started kicking in just like it always did at the start of a livestream. The feeling was still fairly new since he had only started streaming at the beginning of the school year. One of his few online buddies had suggested it after he’d invited Gloomurai to his 3 AM livestream. Apparently, the internet was as weird as Idia knew and loved it to be, and people loved a sarcastic, gloomy personality.

It still boggled his mind, but hey, it was extra cash for his gaming pleasure.

Idia checked his setup on his spare monitor, making sure the window for the game he had planned to play was streaming at the right ratios. He’d learned his first few streams that his audience wouldn’t hesitate to point out any flaw. Best to get it done now instead of halfway through a match. “Everything looking good...is the sound good?”

After a few seconds of delay, a wall of thumbs-ups buried everything else in his chat. Idia leaned back in his chair to glance at Ortho. The thumbs-up Ortho gave him was the only one he trusted. “Sweet. So we’re changing it up a bit today. You guys know Red isn’t big on the shooting co-ops, but I’ve been on a Towernoon streak lately. So as promised at the end of my last stream, I'm gonna be hitting up trios.”

His eyes skimmed over the chat. In the midst of the hype, one username popped up for being benched for ten seconds. He never saw the comment that had benched the guy, but he could imagine they’d said something negative about Muscle Red. Those—and the real toxic mess—were the only comments Ortho immediately dealt with as his mod.

“First up.” Idia paused to flip through his character customization. He grinned at the comments speeding through the chat about his suspense making. “I’d like you guys to welcome back one of your favorites.”

The chat freaked out when Ortho’s preferred skin—one of the anthropomorphic monsters—popped up behind Idia in the game lobby. Ortho giggled into his mic at the wall of hearts filling the chat. “Hi, everyone! It’s good to be back!”

The chat was nothing but hearts and Little Gloomy!!!! Even new viewers would know Ortho’s gamer tag because of the reputation he had built as Idia’s mod. When he wasn’t deleting the haters, he was chitchatting with the regulars. When Idia had to throw up an animated screensaver for some downtime, he’d give the mic over to Ortho to shoot the breeze. For all the incessant DMs and comments he received for a face reveal, Ortho was getting just as much—if not more—demands for the same.

“Okay,” Idia said, absently checking his settings again, “now we just gotta wait for the other to get online.”

Idia’s eyes flicked to the Hermes app opened in a different window. Some viewers were already getting impatient for him to start. He typed out a quick message and hoped she’d be near enough to her computer to hear the ping. His subscribers liked his doom and gloom, but they could only be distracted for so long.

The green dot lit up next to Yuu’s name. Idia breathed a sigh of relief. He had only briefly mentioned her joining the livestream the last time they’d played together, which had already been two days ago. She was already so busy running around the campus with everyone else. It wasn’t very farfetched for him to imagine she would find someone else to hang out with.

“Am I late?” Yuu’s voice sounded slightly muffled. The chat started whizzing by almost too quick for Idia to read it. “I know you said six, but I completely lost track of time.”

Ortho cheerfully greeted the prefect by her gamer tag. Idia responded, “You’re fine. It’s cool that you made it either way.”

That was Gloomurai’s smooth response. Idia’s internal response was actually, Thank the King of the Underworld she made it, and she chose gaming with me over a full body massage in Pomefiore! It would have been awkward having to fill in a third person at random.

Yuu’s player model appeared in the lobby shortly after Idia sent the party invite to her. Despite him gifting her the current and previous season passes, she still stuck with the default skin, the only exception being the colorful butterfly wings he had bought her after she downloaded the game. Nothing else “spoke” to her was her excuse when he made fun of her.

Idia hesitantly glanced at the chat again. It had fallen back to a moderate enough speed for him to quickly skim, but so far, the only complaints were a couple of obnoxious viewers asking if LadyKnight was really a girl. Idia rolled his eyes. It wasn’t like Yuu was the first girl to play Towernoon. The top streamer on Spasm was a chick who practically played it 24/7.

Idia made a slashing motion with one hand while his other hand clicked the key to ready up for the match. “Okay, okay. Everybody chill. LadyKnight is practically noob status right now, so don’t be so hard on her. Me and Little Gloomy will pick up all the slack.”

Ortho giggled, which spawned nothing but dazed hearts in the chat. “I’ll keep everyone safe!”

“Do they still have the bows in the game?” Yuu asked. Idia wasn’t sure if she had heard him talking to the audience or simply ignored his insult. She might have become so used to being referred to as a noob that it didn’t register anymore. “I liked setting the builds on fire with the fire bow. I couldn’t find one the last time we played though.”

“They’re still in-game,” Ortho helpfully answered. His player model started dancing to copyrighted music, which made Idia automatically mute the game audio. “They’re just a little rarer since the new weekly quests don’t require them.”

“So that’s why I leveled up so quickly last week.”

“How many things did you set on fire?”

“I burned down every location Gloom and I visited.”

A sudden snicker almost made Idia choke on the energy drink he sipped. He wiped his chin and totally ignored the chat for the first time since the stream started. “She’d rig up any car we came across so she could mow down the buildings too!”

“It’s the fastest way to get ammo.”

“I’ll let you have the fire bow if I find one!” Ortho promised. The text above his avatar switched from the red Not Ready to green Ready. “Ready up!”

Yuu’s status flipped over at the same time. While they waited for the server to drop them into a match, Idia quickly skimmed over the chat. He frowned at some of the messages he had received from the viewers who donated through the widget he designed.

They weren’t necessarily...bad. Idia could tell the instant everyone had logged on based on the donations. A few had welcomed him with a single thaumark donation, probably hoping he’d acknowledge their usernames despite being transparent that he only read off the messages for the big donations. Ortho’s arrival brought a few more fangirls/boys, and Idia would leave those for Ortho to respond to later. Yuu’s arrival had sparked the biggest donation pool of single thaumarks Idia had ever seen.

Is she really a girl?

Does she stream too?

Is she your sister?

Those seemed to be the most repeated questions. Idia scrolled through the long list of repetitive donations until he landed on one for five thaumarks. His audible choke made Ortho reach for his shoulder IRL. “Are you okay?

Idia sputtered slightly before recovering enough to sputter, “Where are we dropping?”

“Ice mountain.”

The lack of inflection in Yuu’s voice bordered no arguments. Ortho happily agreed. Idia rolled his eyes towards the ceiling. He knew which location she referred to, but he couldn’t temper his own sarcasm. “There’s three mountains on the map.”

“That’s why I said ice,” Yuu persisted. The shock that had sent his heart hammering in his chest moments ago gradually slowed with a snicker. “There’s broke mountain, city mountain, and ice mountain.”

“Cluttered Cliffs, Metro Mountain, and Pike’s Peak,” Idia listed.

“That’s what I said. Broke mountain, city mountain, and ice mountain. The one with ice is where I want to land.”

Idia snickered into his hand. Since they had started playing, she had never once referred to the locations in the game by their actual names. After he had to explain why some of the names changed after the holiday event and how they would likely change again at the beginning of the next season pass, she had responded, “So what’s the point of me actually learning these names?”

Her lack of care in the gimicky names was like an inside joke at this point. Whenever Idia would name a location, she would reiterate with her own classification. The fact that she knew how to describe each place was enough to let Idia know she was fully aware of the map’s layout, so it had never bothered him.

He glanced at the chat while they waited to drop into the match. He frowned at two usernames that had been benched for five minutes. “You know, the fire bows don’t always spawn in that area.”

“But I’ve found one in the matches we played before.”

His monitor flashed, and they were floating across the map in a hot air balloon. Idia waited until the last second before nose diving down into the small research station on the mountain. He could tell Yuu dropped with him when her username appeared on the screen. Ortho’s was last. “We’re gonna win this! Just let me know when you need help.”

Cue the happy swoons in the chat. Everybody loved Hero Boy Ortho. Almost as much as they loved Giggle Slayer Ortho. Nothing entertained them more than a squeaker running around headshotting other players while giggling and offering strategical advice.

Idia sighed. “Hear that, Lady?”

“I prefer Knight if we’re shortening it.”

Idia snickered at Yuu’s quick response. He landed on the roof and started pilfering the few chests in the area. She came floating down beside him as he sorted his inventory to his preferred lineup. Ortho’s username landed a little farther from them, but Idia wasn’t worried about that. He spotted another trio landing near him and Yuu. “I could call you 800815 since that’s actually part of your name too.”

“You might as well call it what it is,” she fired back. He peeked over the edge and focused his crosshairs on her shuffling two guns in and out of her inventory. One of the players on the other team was slowly heading in their direction. “We’re all mature enough to handle it.”

Idia snorted. Ortho’s giggles took on a slightly different pitch. Maybe they weren’t as mature as she tried to claim. He couldn’t picture Yuu saying the same thing IRL, which was probably why he found it so funny. The anonymity of online gaming brought out the pervert in them all.

Another username flashed by in the stream chat, the status saying they had been benched for ten minutes. Idia frowned and made a mental note to ask Ortho later what the message had said. The lengthy times were getting a little outrageous. “Have you found a bow yet?”

Yuu’s aggrieved huff was answer enough. “No. I’m pretty sure you cursed me. I’m only finding rapid fire guns.”

“At least we don’t have to worry about you aiming to hit anything then,” Idia countered.

Ortho’s giggling was nearly non-stop now as his name kept popping up in the in-game log. The Squeaker Destroyer was leaving a trail of death in his wake, and his viewers were loving it even if they weren’t watching Ortho’s perspective. Yuu made a small noise. “Good job, Or—Little Gloomy!”

“Thank you!”

The entire time they had been chatting, Idia had his eye on the player approaching Yuu. He toggled to a rifle with a scope. He poised the crosshairs on the player’s head but didn’t pull the trigger. “Did you check the chest behind you?”

“What chest?” Yuu’s character jerkily spun around. Her yip of surprise made Idia snicker. Her panicked spray sent him cackling. “How long has he been there!”

When she cursed at a forced reload, Idia took his sweet time landing a direct headshot that sent the opposing player crawling for shelter. He swung his scope towards the building he had seen the player’s team vanish into. Another player stood frozen in front of a window. Idia took pity on him and downed him with another headshot. Turns out the guy wasn’t as AFK as he appeared when he started crawling for shelter too. Whoops.

“I found my bow!”

Idia immediately made a mad dash off the roof. He had just landed on the ground when parts of the building caught on fire. He huffed and circled around to where he had last seen Yuu. “I was on top of that roof, thank you very much.”

“Whoops.” There was zero remorse in Yuu’s voice. “My hand slipped.”

Idia rolled his eyes at his screen. He shuffled through his inventory and pulled out a green keg he found while looting ammo boxes. He tossed the keg at her and stepped into the bio-hazard green spray to build their shields. “I should have just let that scrub pick you off.”

“Spare me your wrath, almighty Gloomurai.”

Idia’s snicker was cut short by Ortho’s pause on his killing spree. “Hey, do you mind if I answer a question that keeps being repeated in the chat and donations, big brother?”

“Huh?” Idia asked distractedly. He zoomed in and out with his scope, searching for the last player of the opposing trio. “Sure. Go ahead.”

“Okay!” Ortho’s hum was like background noise. “No worries, chat! Little Gloomy can keep up with you guys and slay some baddies all at the same time. Since you guys seem really curious about it, I’ll just come out and say it. My big brother and LadyKnight aren’t dating. At least not at the moment.”

Idia’s arm jerked. It caught on the energy drink he had been drinking earlier, spilling all across his desk. Idia sputtered and lurched forward to dab the spill with a nearby box of tissues. He only managed to knock over the plate of pizza he planned on eating between matches, sending pepperoni and cheese across his keyboard.

Ortho was quick to react. “Oh, no! We’ve got a pizza emergency!”

“What happened?” Idia vaguely heard Yuu’s voice coming from his headphones, which he had instinctively knocked off his ears and now dangled around his neck. “Is everything all right?”

“Minor technical difficulties,” Idia answered. He wanted to strangle himself when his voice cracked. “Just keep us alive.”

Yuu hummed. While Idia and Ortho quickly cleaned his keyboard, Idia watched her circle him on the screen in jerky motions. She paused and pulled out her bow again. “I think I see the other guy over there.”

Idia dabbed at his desk faster. Ortho picked strings of cheese from between the keys of his keyboard. “Just let them—.”

“I’m gonna set him on fire.”

Idia only saw Yuu fire a flaming arrow because of the way his character was angled. She fired two more before clicking her tongue. “I ran out of arrows.”

Idia threw away the empty can of energy drink and fixed his headphones over his ears again. “He’s probably had enough time to pick up his other teammates.”

“I can take him.”

The words had barely made it through his headphones when his character dropped to the ground from a single headshot. Yuu hummed when he cursed. “That’s unfortun—.”

Yuu yelped before she was crawling on the ground with him. “I made a miscalculation.” LadyKnight’s name appeared in the game’s log for claiming a kill. “I take that back. I regret nothing.”

“Got it!” Idia’s keyboard clacked back onto the desk. Ortho skipped back over to his area, picking up his tablet. “I’ll hurry over to pick you two up.”

Idia grunted. He spun his mouse until he faced Yuu. “What even was your plan? Take random shots and pray they’re bigger noobs than you?”

“My plan was to burn my enemies and claim at least one kill this session.” Yuu hobbled away from him towards the burnt building. “And I have been successful. I think that means I've leveled up.”

Idia rolled his eyes. “That’s like saying a baby leveled up because he figured out how to roll over.”

“Wah.”

The poor imitation of a baby cry flipped his mood with a genuine snort of laughter. Giving up on Ortho picking him up before he fully died—Ortho had landed farther away than he thought—Idia turned his attention to his chat. There was some good-natured back and forth between most of his usual viewers. A wall of spam dominated the chat before it disappeared, the user being benched for thirty minutes. Idia’s eyes widened at the amount of time. That was extreme even for him.

An angry huff from Ortho made him glance at his younger brother. He glared at the screen of his tablet, and the fringes of his fiery hair had turned a light red. “If I see anyone say anything negative about LadyKnight again, I’m gonna permaban them from the chat. This is casual games night, and we’re all here to have fun.”

Idia paid closer attention to his chat. Most of them seemed to agree with Ortho, some of them even thanking him for banning the spammer. There were a few snide comments in the mix, most of them calling LadyKnight a fake gamer. Idia snorted. “Fake gamer? Chill out already. I literally already told all of you she was a noob. She just started playing over the winter break. And no one even said she was a gamer. She just agreed to play because Red didn’t want to.”

“I have fun playing too,” Yuu added. She didn’t sound upset or anything, but her voice still startled Idia a bit. Her not being in the room had made him think she hadn’t heard him for some reason. “I don’t know what I'm doing half the time, but it’s still fun.”

“We like playing with you too!” Ortho agreed. He glowered down at his screen like he was watching the chat for any naysayers. Which he probably was, in all honesty. “So be nice to her, so she comes back to play again.”

It was hard for his viewers to argue with Ortho, considering they were nearing cult level status when it came to their love for him. Idia watched the chat for a moment longer, ignoring the prompt on his screen to return to the lobby. His face felt a little warm now, but he wasn’t about to roll over for his chat. If he had physically been in a crowd with all of them, then he no doubt would have. But this was the internet—Gloomurai was cool, and slick, and in control.

“By the way, I’m in another match, and I don’t see either one of you.”

Ortho made a small noise. “You went into another match? I haven’t even died yet!”

“The game asked if I wanted to go into another match, so I said yes.” The faint crinkle of a chip bag came through Yuu’s mic. It was obvious she still had a mouthful of chips when she next spoke. “Gloom always gets on to me for going back to the lobby for no reason.”

Idia sighed and backed out of the match into the lobby. “The one time you actually listen to me...”

“Nine times out of ten, I block you out,” Yuu admitted. The chip bag crinkled again. “You just get really haughty when I go back to the lobby, and I don’t want to listen to your cranky mumbles.”

Idia snickered and ignored Ortho telling the chat—again—that he and Yuu weren’t dating.

^^^ Take a look at this bogus interview by the producer of TWN. This is so rude 😐

💀💀💀 Americans, bitchflix producer just called y'all dumb as hell.

Fr though the sheer disrespect here, Imagine if Peter Jackson or Denis Villeneuve had this kind of brain rot. It really goes to show just how many people involved in this wretched show - from Lauren to their costume designer to this guy - are outright rancid human beings. I read an article about this interview trying to pity the "poor" creators being "forced" to dumb down this show and tbh I don't think any "creator" of this show gets any kind of pass when time and time again they admit they hated the source material or didn't even touch it. And Cavill's reward for giving a fuck about canon was getting smeared as a toxic gamer bro lmao.

The only thing that kind of surprises me about this is Tomasz Baginski being the one to say all of this because he made the cinematics for the witcher games like was he also thinking about dumbing those down bc the games were gonna be sold internationally 🤡

#answered #incredible really #anti witcher netflix #witcher negativity #now my personal conspiracy theory is that this all makes sense if hes saying this about lauren and co #and not the audience 🤣#but really everyone involved in this keeps outing themselves as the worst kind of idiot

16.5" Liu Kang Coarse Statue.

In the vast realm of gaming, there exists a niche that caters to those who appreciate not only the virtual battles but also the tangible symbols of their favourite franchises. As someone deeply entrenched in the world of fighting games, I've always held a special admiration for the characters and stories that have captivated gamers for decades.

So, when faced with the dilemma of what to blog about, it only seemed fitting to delve into the realm of collectibles. Enter the Mortal Kombat 1 Kollector's Edition 16.5" Liu Kang Coarse Statue—a masterpiece that commands attention from both die-hard fans and casual observers alike.

Standing tall at 16.5 inches, this statue is not merely a depiction of a beloved character; it's a celebration of gaming history and artistic craftsmanship.

Upon receiving this exquisite piece, the first thing that struck me was the attention to detail. From Liu Kang's iconic stance to the intricately designed base, every aspect of this statue exudes quality and passion. As I carefully examined each element, it became evident that this was more than just a collectible; it was a labor of love from the creators.

As a long-time fan of fighting games from Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Street Fighter. I must say while , the Liu Kang Coarse Statue holds a special place in my heart due to its rarity and sheer size. Standing proudly on my shelf, it serves as a reminder of the countless hours spent mastering combos and unlocking secrets in the Mortal Kombat universe.

Amidst the excitement of acquiring this coveted piece, there's a lingering sense of curiosity about other collectibles in the gaming world. One such item that has garnered attention is the Tekken 8 Exclusive Jin Electrified Figurine. Clocking in at 25cm, it boasts impressive craftsmanship and attention to detail. However, despite my admiration for the Tekken series, as I have gotten older I find myself drawn more towards the Mortal Kombat universe.

While both franchises have left an indelible mark on the world of fighting games, it's the visceral combat and iconic characters of Mortal Kombat that resonate with me on a deeper level. Perhaps it's the nostalgia of playing the original games or the thrill of executing a flawless victory; whatever the reason, Mortal Kombat will always hold a special place in my gaming repertoire.

The Mortal Kombat 1 Kollector's Edition 16.5" Liu Kang Coarse Statue is more than just a collectable—it's a testament to the enduring legacy of the franchise and the passion of its fans. As I gaze upon its imposing figure, I'm reminded of the countless memories forged in the fires of battle and the camaraderie shared with fellow gamers. And while the allure of other collectables may beckon, there's no denying the allure of Mortal Kombat's rich history and timeless appeal. Here are some pictures below to show you what I am on about.

Can't stop thinking either Bard and Lau in a kuro buddy daddy au or an older Ciel and Finny in it cause they fit those personalities 🤔

BARDLAU BUDDY DADDIES AU FOR THE WIN!

Bardroy is a gruff, hot-tempered mercenary saddled with lingering guilt over the violent deaths of his wife and son at the hands of an enemy seeking revenge for one of Bard’s hits. Lau is a popular (and highly chaotic) YouTube gamer, known for his mad stats, pink neko headphones, and dreamy, rambling monologues that have nothing to do with the game he’s actually playing (a fierce argument still rages among his fanbase over whether he’s high as a kite during all of his streams, or just faking it for the views). Of course, his followers are unaware of Lau’s secret prowess as an assassin; the Blue Dragon’s ruthlessness and aptitude for wielding knives strike terror into the hearts of his prey and fellow killers alike. He’s equally feared on the dark web, where his skills as a hacker are rivaled only by the technical expertise of his childhood friend Ran Mao (the two of them regularly scam cryptobros as a side-hustle, but that’s another story). There’s also the matter of Lau’s mysterious past…a fraught youth he’s never disclosed to Bardroy, but which has left him physically and emotionally scarred and unable to trust.

Despite the friction that inevitably arises when their distinct personalities clash, Lau and Bard make an unbeatable duo, and are regularly sought after by underworld bigwigs in need of their services. Bard’s been crashing at Lau’s apartment ever since the loss of his family. If we’re splitting hairs, it’s really Ran Mao’s place (her name’s the one on the lease), but she tends to disappear for long periods of time before randomly showing at 3 AM to play on Lau’s gaming system.

This unconventional status quo is disrupted forever when Bard and Lau are assigned to take out a shady scientist rumored to conduct unethical experiments on behalf of a rival country’s government—only to find his toddler, Finnian, ambling through one of the labs. As the pair discovers the hard way when a giggling Finny twists Bard’s flamethrower into a pretzel, the boy’s father subjected him to experiments with a test drug that endowed him with super-strength. Yet, regardless of the obvious hazards that caring for this child would entail, his innocent smile tugs at Bard’s heartstrings, reminding him of another little boy who used to smile that way.

“We can’t turn this kid in to the authorities! They’ll jus’ keep on treatin’ him like a lab rat!” Bardroy protests.

Lau is more skeptical, but he quickly sees that his partner won’t budge, and he has to concede that the mighty tyke’s gifts could prove useful.

Mayhem promptly ensues as the assassins tackle their biggest challenge yet—parenthood. With occasional help from Auntie Ran Mao to keep them from going too far off the rails. 😉 Buckle up for a heartwarming (and only slightly bloodstained) journey, in which their new role as Finny’s dads sets Lau and Bardroy on the path to healing from their trauma.

And, the closer they become through their shared purpose, the more difficult it is for the partners in crime to deny their budding attraction to one another… 😉

#kuro asks #kuroshitsuji #bardlau #lau #bardroy #bard #ran mao #finnian #finny #buddy daddies au #i am now going feral over this concept

[ad_1] China’s playbook when faced with complaint is neither cunning nor delicate: Deny, lie, play dumb, hope it is going away and, when all else fails, strike again ferociously. It’s all going down once more in relation to Peng Shuai, the Chinese language tennis celebrity who crossed swords with the state by way of publicly accusing a former senior Politburo member of sexual attack.After making the allegations in a Nov. 2 publish on China’s standard Weibo social media platform, Ms. Peng vanished. Beijing’s disinformation equipment went into overdrive: Her fees disappeared from her social media account, and her title looked to be blocked in searches. Overseas Ministry spokesmen insisted they had been ignorant of any sexual attack allegations, and questions and solutions about Ms. Peng had been left out from professional transcripts.On Wednesday, Chinese language state media printed what it claimed was once a screenshot of an electronic mail despatched by way of Ms. Peng to the Girls’s Tennis Affiliation, announcing that the allegations had been unfaithful and “the whole lot is okay.” This defies trust, and China should now not be allowed to break out with it.The pro tennis global has reacted with admirable and unequivocal ferocity. Steve Simon, the chief director of the W.T.A., demanded an investigation into Ms. Peng’s allegations. He declared that he's able to tug the excursion out of China. The governing frame of fellows’s tennis, the Affiliation of Tennis Pros, joined in, with a commentary pointing out that it was once “deeply involved,” and a refrain of tennis gamers, together with Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic, issued expressions of concern and worry. The United Countries known as for an investigation with “complete transparency,” and the White Area press secretary, Jen Psaki, mentioned the Biden management requires “verifiable evidence” of Ms. Peng’s whereabouts.All this poses a major problem to China’s ruling Communist Birthday party. Ms. Peng, 35, isn't an difficult to understand dissident. She is the one Chinese language tennis participant to have attained a worldwide No. 1 rating, in her case in ladies’s doubles, and she or he was once as soon as heralded by way of the Chinese language govt as a fashion athlete — “like a breeze in ladies’s tennis,” as The Other people’s Day-to-day wrote in 2013.That breeze has turn out to be a sizzling blast. Within the closed and regulated global of Chinese language politics, individuals of the political hierarchy are off limits to public complaint of any sort. When senior officers were accused of sexual attack or different misconduct, it has most often been within the context in their purge from the hierarchy of the birthday party. Ms. Peng’s goal, Zhang Gaoli, against this, is a retired vice premier and member of the easiest frame in China, the Politburo Status Committee.The fees come as Beijing prepares to host the Wintry weather Olympics subsequent February. The perception of permitting a rustic that brutally represses critics and whole minorities to once more host the Olympics has already drawn sharp wondering. President Biden mentioned Thursday that the USA was once taking into consideration maintaining American officers clear of the Video games, and Human Rights Watch requested the Global Olympic Committee’s main company sponsors to provide an explanation for how they intend to make use of their leverage to handle human rights abuses in China.China’s reaction has been the standard mantra about maintaining sports activities and politics separate. That also is the Global Olympic Committee’s unhappy and in most cases self-serving bleat. Politics and the Olympics have lengthy been inextricably intertwined. That’s particularly resonant in Communist nations just like the Soviet Union and East Germany that noticed Olympic gold medals as a validation in their legitimacy and prowess and had been ready to cheat to get them. Vladimir Putin’s Russia has saved that legacy alive.In itself, Ms.

Peng’s case isn't about geopolitics or the Olympics. It’s about an athlete being disappeared for leveling a reputable MeToo accusation towards a person who wielded vital energy and, in her telling, exploited that energy to call for sexual favors. Even on that stage, it's laborious to look how the I.O.C. can willingly shut its eyes to the suppression of a world-ranked athlete as hundreds of athletes from each and every nook of the sector are about to descend on China.Like such a lot of sufferers of China’s repressive device, Ms. Peng has carried out not anything instead of to hunt redress for a incorrect. But the very straightforwardness of her plight inevitably ends up in basic questions on China’s health to host an international wearing match that purports to apply an Olympic supreme of creating a greater global thru game.This is why it is very important to call for a reckoning from Beijing: The place is Ms. Peng, and what's being carried out about her allegations?

Getting things off the chest

Mrm. Chewing on some complex emotions, and I don't want to put them in my press releases, soooo they're going here.

I am...How do I put this? I understand the nature of systemic privileges and prejudices. I understand that, as falling into certain categories, I have been the recipient of advantages. That as a man, as an American and specifically a white American, as cisgendered (?), there are certain things I receive, and certain troubles that don't come to me. Let's just acknowledge all of that right out the gate that I get it and have done my best to get it for 31 fucking years. Okay? Cool?

So all of that said. Here's what's got me in a funk.

Because there's all of that...But also, I am completely emotionally spent with what I will call forced association. Not just systemically, but personally. I'm assumed and presumed to be just an example of the uncultured American, the violent man, the abuser, the danger. A creature who can only threaten and destroy. I am looked at with suspicion, because I can deny my morals and my personhood and hide among the monsters. Because enough of the monsters look like me, or were born in the same nation-state that I have tried and failed to get out of.

I get it. I get that people don't have the luxury of personally vetting everyone. And look, I've got my biases. I check Gamer Youtubers real fuckin' carefully before I watch their videos, in a way I don't do for, like, painting ASMR vids. Nobody can just consume the whole of every single person they encounter.

But I also can't help but feel personally hurt when people vent about how frustrated they are with whatever category it is. I don't want to be American, okay? I have some modest amount of hometown pride of being Californian, and I've reckoned rather more directly with the sins of my home state and yes I fucking KNOW you are writing a thinkpiece about how self-entitled and conceited Americans are to care more about their state than your entire nation. I get it. I understand I am the monster and the devil.

I just...

Want to be a god damned person. I don't even have the luxury of being Normal in the monsterspace, because I'm asexual, aromantic, and uncomfortable enough with association with the worst that manhood has to offer that I'm increasingly wondering if I fall into some sort of masc nonbinary status. (or just, you know, fucking depressed.)

I consistently try to learn, to understand, to view more of the world where I can despite being in a...pretty limited context. I am a failson working within my means, but I am trying my best. And yet I am told I am as the monsters who would kill the people I love because they wear a face too much like mine.

Oh, and trying to explain how The Discourse has got me in this mental space to professionals hasn't fucking worked, because the professionals did not grow up Extremely Online and don't see how it matters. It's all a whole hell of a lot.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it all and need thicker skin. Grew up completely online for over two decades, in a space a hell of a lot less kind, and yet still am too fragile for it.

I'm gonna focus on my writing. Maybe some pixel art. I had a piece I was working on before the anxiety set in, I should get back to it.

Short Open Letters to Stepping Stones

Dear flustered kindergartner, you're obviously not in kindergarten anymore, but I never knew you as anything else. The only living memory I have of you is a snowball fight, preserved in a moment in time like a fossil lost in frozen ice dug up years later to represent forgotten history. The frost left me with a cold to catch the next day, but I didn't mind at all. "I like him, and he likes me," I used to proclaim to our class, and you never denied it. I hope you've found someone now who can say the same today.

Dear indecisive soccer player, you were my first love. I can't tell you how happy I am that you aren't also my last. Your inappropriate jokes left nothing but a foul taste in my mouth and a bundle of expired thoughts in the back of my mind asking me for exactly what I saw in you.

Dear artist with the red highlight, it's a shame I let you leave. Neither of us knew what we were doing back then, but I won't take that as an excuse for not knowing how damn privileged I was to call you mine. I treated you like nothing, yet you never failed to enclose me in your arms to reassure me that I was everything in your eyes.

I broke the iPod case you gifted me on my birthday, and now I'm miles away where you'll never hear the shiver behind my apology. I probably won't ever see you again. No meter or ruler will ever be able to measure how sorry I am. I'm sorry for dropping it, I'm sorry for not taking better care of it, I'm sorry for letting it fall in the first place, and I'm sorry for treating your heart the same way. These are things I'll never be able to say to you, because I've always been too good at being too late.

Dear gamer of the Muslim faith, although we had several enjoyable and admittedly geeky conversations about video games, the ones that I remember the clearest are the ones where we would pointlessly argue over who was "right." My heart was badly sown into the bleached blanket that covers the world with sacred lies, and after biting the lazy stitches, I've grown to learn that it doesn't matter in the slightest. This might be backwashed gargle from the mouth of a girl that doesn't know if she's an atheist or a nihilist, but regardless of whether there is a golden statue to worship or an invisible man in the sky, I still loved you. I learned recently that you apparently loved me too.

This was the second race, and once again I found myself far too late to cross the finish line to place. Perhaps we wouldn't have to speak in past tense if we had the tenacity to run past such trivial things. Perhaps I should drop the "we," it was probably "me."

Dear blonde with spectacles and concerning desperation, fuck you for making me your rebound. Twice.

Dear quiet boy in the winter jacket, our last and only photo together means the world to me, and it's the main reason why I can't get rid of that cringeworthy elementary school photo album. I didn't know you well enough to say those three words to you and mean them. I shouldn't have said them to you, as they probably meant more to you than I understood at the time. I'm jealous of the next girl you find beautiful, even though I have no right to be.

Dear long-distance lover, I lied to you in more ways in one, so I deserve to have you gone. I'd twist my tongue over almost any small thing out of fear that I'd lose my temporary everything: you. I hope you're doing well. You taught me multiple somethings, but I bet you remember nothing, and not because of time.

Dear sarcastic guitarist, sometimes I think I should've chose you. I may have been the top student in our classroom but I was dumb enough to believe that height difference could justify my idiocy. We walked the same wavelength, connected the same stars, and dreamt of the same colors, but I still chose the eventual disaster over the piece of art that could've been. You and your new girlfriend look cute together too. I wonder if we would've.

Dear boisterous photographer, I loved the others, but I'm almost certain that I was in love with you. You never understood what difference those two letters made and as much as I tried to illustrate that difference, you always failed to look at the full picture. I realize it's difficult to make these claims when neither of us were old enough back then to walk into a bar without fake ID; no matter how many times we've locked fingers or lips, our "puppy" love would never be considered real in the eyes the big dogs. Either depressingly or thankfully (I truly do not know which one it is myself), you're the only stone I've wandered past that I can still see from here.

Dear undeniably talented near-stranger, I'm not allowed to fall in love with you. It's an unspoken yet obvious rule. If there was an uncomplicated science for genuine human connection, then by formulaic calculations I could or should fall in love with you, or perhaps I already am without knowing, but let's throw all that jargon out the window (I'm sure I'm the only one who thinks or cares about that stuff anyway). I just want you to know that I think you're absolutely wonderful. Perhaps the closest, realest thing to perfect that I've ever seen. I don't know if I am to stay here or meander further, but as of right now, I know that I am right here and I like being right here, with you. I hope you don't mind; just let me know if I've overstayed my welcome.
