So anyway, Alberu is a vtuber.

His avatar is the golden prince persona while he actually has quite dark skin irl. He wants to be as far removed as possible from his online persona because he actually has a normal job as the son of a CEO or something. (Idk I want a non magic excuse for this and I have no other ideas)

His model was actually made by Mary as one of her first projects. They see each other as cousins of sorts even if they're not biologically related. Over time, both have gotten better and as Alberu's gotten money, he's been able to properly commission Mary to update the model.

Cale is a cameraman who works for the same company as Lee Soohyuk and Choi Jungsoo (LSH is an actor ofc and CJS is a stunt man and helps with fight choreography). After so many years helping with everything from editing, filming and basic IT fixes, hes made a bit of a name for himself even though he doesn't talk much. (Idk if Roksoo would be a separate person or what idk)

On, Hong and Raon are Cale's kids and are the ones who introduced Alberu's content to Cale. Alberu also has some lore he puts in with his persona and Cale, while not really being interested in Alberu's content, is damn determined to figure out the story Alberu's telling. He's watched every VOD avaliable and can recite all the basic points of the lore, much to the children's delight.

Over time, Cale became a regular viewer, looking for more hints and such. He'd offer streaming advice sometimes in chat or help with troubleshooting IT problems. Also, Raon chose his username.

"Weak human is weak human!"

And who was Cale to deny the child, besides he didn't know what else to put anyway so Weak_Human it was.

Is this enough to appease you all??? Has your appetite been sated??

You all enable me too much, here take this

Ok ok, picture this:

Cale is watching Alberu's stream while getting ready to go to work. He's been a viewer of Alberu for a while now and his kids have even made him send fanart to the streamer a few times.

For some reason, Alberu jokes about giving someone in chat mod to which Cale offhandedly types in chat: "Sounds tedious, never ask me that again."

Alberu immediately gives it to Cale "for the bit"

Immediately, Cale is like "nononononono- TAKE IT BACK"

Meanwhile Alberu is in stitches, laughing so hard he's almost crying.

Eventually, Cale has to go to work and leaves with a final message in chat:

"This better be fixed when I get back from work, your Highness."

Cale watches Alberu smirk, "Or what, user Weak_Human?"

"Or else I will completely overhaul your setup until it's unrecognizable."

Cale doesn't touch his phone while working and kind of forgets about the stream and his threat until he finally clocks off and opens the app to find he still has mod.... Then he notices he also has an email from the streamer himself.

It's access to Alberu's OBs and stream settings... wtf.

Well, ignoring the ridiculousness of the sotuation, Cale is nothing if not a man of his word.

When Alberu opens up his computer to start streaming, he immediately notices how... smooth everything is. His computer used to take a minute to load everything and yet now everything is almost instant. His starting soon screen is up and while people trickle in, he notices that all his settings have been streamlined, all his ban requests sorted and commented on, even some of his graphics and emotes have been resized and bound to new commands.

The he notices he has a new unread email. In it is an attached spreadsheet which lists every change made and the original settings in excruciating detail. The email itself is a simple 4 words:

"Now take it back."

Alberu can only laugh as he answers:

"Absolutely not. Also, call me hyung, dongsaeng."

You have a complex relationship with your body and need to keep some/all of your clothes on during sex?

That's okay, what you're wearing looks good on you.

You need to take a lot of breaks doing anything intimate because you're easily overwhelmed?

I understand, I'm just happy to be here with you.

You're on medication that impacts your libido/makes reaching orgasm really difficult?

No pressure, tell me what feels good for you, and if you get frustrated we can do something else together.

Sex isn't going to look the same for everybody and that's fine, that's normal.

Sometimes you don't orgasm, sometimes you need to stop because your mood changes out of nowhere, sometimes you get really self conscious and need accommodations to take your mind off of it.

People are too complex for everybody to go about it the same, just keep doing what feels best for you, regardless of how different it may seem from other people's experiences.

My book on aromanticism and asexuality comes out in a month! Shout-out to my publishers for just... giving me free rein to ramble about:

How amatonormativity hurts absolutely everyone

Why there are so many nonbinary and gender non-conforming aspecs

Why asexual awareness is essential in pushing back against incel culture (because men and boys deserve to know that manhood is not defined by sexual desire or prowess)

Why coming out as aspec can be so incredibly complicated, espeically for aspecs of colour

Advice from aspecs on how to navigate sex and relationships as an ace and/or aro person

A really wonderful bunch of stories from aspecs on what their non-normative relationships and families look like, from queerplatonic partners to poly aspecs to best friends raising kids together

How refusing amatonormativity can help us fight the loneliness epidemic, by encouraging people not to retreat into two-person units and instead invest in multiple close relationships of every kind

What steps we need to take to challenge aspec discrimination in medicine and the law

Why all you aspec people out there are an indispensible, revolutionary force that helps us all explore and create new models of love, relationship and family

So uh please do check it out if you think it might be up your street (or just because it'd really, really annoy a certain children's author who's decided aphobia is the new big thing)
