#otv speaks

[terramobile]

do what yall want, but watching ppl be genuinely hostile and sending death threats towards others coming from twitter is like. embarrassing to say the least. you're an adult, it's not cute to be shitting and pissing your pants because some guy came over from some website you don't like. if you're so afraid of a twitter user spreading toxicity into your Beloved Tumblr Circles, perhaps maybe perchance screaming and yelling and threatening them isn't the move you think it is

Hihi, I still constantly think about the fact that Baghera put English and French subtitles on her vlog. That Offline TV put Spanish subtitles on their collaboration with Quackity, and it's the only video of theirs (to my knowledge) that has subtitles in a language other than English. That RubberRoss put subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese on his video with Cellbit. Specifically with OTV and RobberRoss, they don't speak these languages. The people that they are collaborating with (Quackity and Cellbit respectively) do, and so do the audiences of those creators. They don't technically have to put up those subtitles, they would still have a successful video even if they left it to auto-generated English captions, or maybe, if they're feeling nice, manually added English captions. But they add the subtitles in the second language.

And the fact that they're manually added, not auto-translated or auto-generated, means that there's less room for confusion. I have watched way too many auto-translated VODs for my own good, and while they do the trick if you're in a bit of a pinch, they are quite janky.

IDK if they hire someone to do the translations (I know with Baghera, she likely translated the entire thing herself into both languages), or if the person that they're collaborating with buckles down to pull an all-nighter and add them all in, but either way the captions get added, and there's something about that that I find to be uniquely incredible. OTV and RubberRoss wouldn't have done it otherwise, if not for the person they were collaborating with.

I'm rambling at this point, though, so I'll cap it off here. I just really like it when there are captions in another language, even if I don't speak it, because it shows that the creator of the video took the time and effort to get them there in the first place.

I really like how Poki and Toast gets banned on twitch for streaming arguably the best animated shows ever created lmao

[literaphobe]

“sometimes people average 1-5 live viewers every stream bc they are boring.” honestly so true and based and it’s basically what toast was saying a few months ago when otv was running another minecraft server and some small streamers were mad they didn’t get invited. big streamers like toast and dream recognise talented small streamers with potential and platform them (great examples being ranboo by dream on dsmp and tina by toast in among us) but if your sales pitch is literally just “i’m [minority group] and a small streamer you should take a chance on me :)” bro no what is your Content. what do you Do. show that you have potential to get big through this opportunity you’re getting, give them something to work with or step back and work on yourself!

the amount of entitlement that exists in online streaming spaces rn is very... startling so to speak? because you don't see actors for instance thinking they are deserving of acting jobs because they are a minority. but because there is this narrative in the streaming community that Anyone can become a streamer, all of a sudden some people feel... entitled to fame? and they get it in their heads that they deserve a platform, that they know how to handle one, that they can create so much change with one that others aren't because they're privileged and don't care or not using their influence the 'correct' way. and so many of these people skew so young. and that is so concerning to me because there's already been talks of how damaging fame is to child actors. and while we cannot stop teenagers from creating content and wanting to express themselves online, having hoards of young people clamoring for finite positions of influence, touting various minority identities they hold as justification... it is NOT how we create change in a community. of course it's true that white ccs receive a disproportionate amount of success as compared to poc. it unfortunately does not mean every poc is talented and educated on all issues and deserving of fame. it also doesn't mean every white cc is a terrible shitty person who should never be given a platform. the unwillingness to broaden your scope beyond very limited and online experiences is what dampens progress. attacking ccs like dream who are allies we DESPERATELY need over complete non-issues is not how we should be doing things. it's gonna bite people in their asses and contribute nothing but pain for everyone involved. people have GOT to take a step back and realize they are adding unneeded toxicity to situations that do not require such a response

I hope ninja’s career gets destroyed but if there’s two things that dont stop a popular white dudes from losing their careers it’s being racist and being sexist

yeah i dont think "destroyed" is realistic bc i would guess that the bulk of his viewers are teenage boys who dont really care about misogyny. i think, however, that this could alienate him from a lot of the other mainstream twitch crowd? like the big names right now (for english-speaking channels at least) are the crafters and the variety streamers, mostly those in or friends with otv/100t/otk. obviously ninja is filthy rich and pulls viewers, i'm not saying he's a flop but in terms of community.... i've never seen ninja in a lobby or at an irl event with the other big names. the most relevant he's been to my twitch/gaming experience is when tommy uses him for clickbait and i watch quite a few variety streamers. what i mean to say with all of that is -- can you think of anyone super significant who would side with ninja at the risk of alienating poki? even from purely a clout perspective, poki is way more important to be on good terms with. from an interpersonal perspective, she has tons of friends across the community throughout multiple orgs and content styles who are MUCH closer to her than ninja.

the twitch user base is rapidly diversifying in gender (among other things) because of the audience being brought in by the minecrafters and a good chunk of the variety streamers. i don't think ninja is going to drop off the face of the earth, but i don't think it's unrealistic to see people who were friends with him diplomatically or for content leave him behind because 1. poki is much more well-liked and respected on a personal level and 2. more people are willing to call out misogyny, both ccs and their viewers.

You sighed as you finally dropped the last box in your new room, stretching to get rid of the pains in your back. Grabbing your phone, you moved over to Sykkunos room, knocking before sticking your head in.

"You want subway?" you asked when he looked up from the computer. He nodded with a quick smile, and as you closed the door behind you, you could hear him talking to the stream, letting them know that it was just his sister. Quickly ordering on Ubereats, you slumped on the sofa, closing your eyes and resting for a bit.

You had decided to move in with Sykkuno a month ago, the same week you'd decided to drop out of college. It wasn't something your parents were happy with, but after seeing how big your art and business had gotten, they had let you drop out. You'd dropped out and moved to LA, moving into an apartment with Sykkuno since he had to leave the OTV house. Sykkuno had moved in a week earlier which was why his room and computer was all set up. You'd only moved in today, spending a few weeks at home with your parents before leaving for LA. Stretching, you grabbed your phone, checking how long it would be until the food came, and then clicking on Instagram. Your most recent post was of this morning, a photo of you sitting on top of half the boxes in your room, throwing a peace sign at the camera. Sykkuno had taken it for you, the whole process taking 10 minutes cuz you made him take it at 45 different angles. Scrolling through the comments, you liked a few, replying to the ones by your best friends.

@selinaissss: "HOW DARE YOU LOOK THIS PERFECT AT 8 IN THE MORNING????"

→ @junefarie: i look like a racoon dont u dare

@onlyalyssa: "we need a house tour"

→ @junefarie: bitch I dont even have a bed yet

You grabbed the subway order when the bell rang, saying a quick thank you to the delivery man. You left yours on the table, and went to Sykkunos room, yelling "Sykkuno catch!" before throwing it at him, giggling as he leapt forward from his chair to catch it. Closing the door softly behind you, you jumped onto the couch, sitting cross-legged, grabbing your sketchbook and pencils from your backpack and setting them on your lap. It was time to wind down a bit.

~

It was a week later and you had unpacked fully, now focusing more on creating new pieces of art for a shop update. You were also working on some designs specifically for shirts and hoodies. Sykkuno found you in front of your computer, blanket wrapped around you and glasses perched on your nose as you emailed the manufacturer you were working with for the hoodies.

"Un, y/n?" he said hesitantly knocking on the door. You spun around in your chair, raising your eyebrows at him. "What's up?"

He walked in, sitting down gingerly on the edge of the bed and you got your water from the table, taking a sip as you wait for him to talk.

"I um- You know how I- I play Among Us right?" he asked, scratching his neck.

You hummed in response, urging him on with a nod. Sykkuno was almost never this nervous around you. Most of the time, you guys talked normally, joking and teasing each other. For him to be stuttering around you, he must have been extremely nervous.

"Well, you know Rae right? She um, she asked me to make a lobby," he said, standing up and pacing now. You furrowed your brows, confused as to where this was going.

He was explaining what a lobby was (which what the fuck, you watched his streams, of course you knew what a lobby was, why was he explaining that) when you cut him off, getting up and grabbing his shoulders to stop him.

"Hey, what's wrong?" you asked, holding his shoulders with both your hands.

He sighed and slumped into you, his head coming to a rest on your shoulder.

"Rae asked me to make a lobby and it's the first time I've ever made one and I'm really nervous about it. I've already invited people, but um I was wondering if you wanted to join as well? I- It would help me to have you there." he muttered, the words muffled as he spoke into your shoulder.

"Me?" you asked, a little shocked because you had never played among us before.

He nodded against your shoulder.

"Um sure!" you said, wrapping your arms around his middle, "It'll be fun!"

"And hey," you added on when he didn't say anything after that, "I can meet all your friends as well!"

He finally lifted his head a little, smiling as he muttered out a quick "Thanks y/n."

"However," you added, jumping back onto your seat and wiggling your eyebrows at him. "You have to buy me pizza for tonight's dinner."

He chuckled, grabbing his phone and already mutterng the order to himself as he opened up the ubereats app and walked out of the room.

You turned back to the laptop humming a tune under your breath. From interactions like this, most people would probably assume that you were older but the truth was that Sykkuno was 5 years older than you. Your roles were reversed and you were probably more protective over him than anyone else. Once in high school a girl had called him cute and asked him for his number only to write it on the bathroom walls. After the first three prank calls, you'd taken the phone from him yelling at anyone who called that if they called again, that you'd personally track them down and shove a dildo up their ass.

Both of you had always been close, but with the amount of bullying and teasing he got in high school, you'd got even closer, eventually becoming his best friend in a way. Seeing Sykkuno grow as a person, get new friends who were genuinely nice and kind made you the happiest person alive. When Sykkuno had first started streaming you'd been worried, scared that people online would say something mean. When he had first started streaming with other streamers and then met Lily and all his other friends, you had been anxious, worrying that they might only be putting up a friendly facade. You were also the happiest though when he grew even closer to them, when he smiled more, laughed more, talked more.

You had yet to meet or talk to any of his friends, mostly because you'd been in college, and the pandemic had made it harder. Maybe it was finally time.

~

The day came and you sat in your room, once again a blanket wrapped around you, glasses perched on your nose as you accepted the discord invite Sykkuno sent you.

"DO I GO IN THE CHAT THINGY?" you yelled to Sykkuno, hearing a "YES" before clicking on the voice chat.

You mumbled a "hello", wondering if your mic was on.

"Hey, yeah I can hear you y/n."

Breathing a sigh of relief, you logged into the game, smiling as you heard sykkuno introduce you to his chat. "Hi everyone," you said, feeling a bit weird only talking to a screen. You rubbed your hands, a little nervous to be doing this.

Just then someone else joined and before you could even speak another three people joined as well, all of them yelling hello as they joined.

"He- Hey guys, how's everyone doing?" started sykkuno.

"Im doing great oh my god, guess what guys, I'm-" started Rae, cutting herself off. "wait, whos um "ms snores a lot"?

You were a bit confused for a second, furrowing you eyebrows for a second before realising what had happened.

"SYKKUNO YOU ASSHOLE WHAT THE FUCK?" you yelled, staring at the name underneath the voice channel that you now realised belonged to you. You could hear Sykkunos laughter from the other room but you just spluttered indignantly. He was the one who had set up everything on your computer yesterday because technology was something that you rarely messed around with.

"Sykkunooo" you whined, when he kept laughing, "How the fuck do I change it now?"

"Um wait, sykkuno who is this?" asked Rae, the other three echoing her. You glanced at the names and from the voices figured out that it was Rae, Toast, Sean and Corpse in the lobby.

"Hey okay, so guys this is my sister, her names y/n and we recently moved in together, so I asked her to be in the lobby because... um.." he said stuttering at the end to find a reason.

"Because he wanted to embarrass me apparently!" you exclaimed, giving him a way out.

"Oh god, um - you can change it in settings, at the bottom near where your name is."

"Ahhh," you said finding it and then simply typing in your art business name.

"Its nice to meet everyone by the way," you started. "I've been watching your videos for ages so it almost fels like I already know you"

Raes voice started in your ears and you winced at the volume befoe turning it down a bit.

"I would love to say that Sykkuno has told us a lot about you, but the truth is that he keeps a lot of secrets and I didnt even know he had a sister, I AM SO SHOCKED RIGHT NOW"

You gasped. "Sykkuno what the fuck, you didn't even tell Rae?"

"You told me not to tell a lot of people!" he protested.

You heard someone saying "they're so different!' but you ignored it and kept talking.

"Yeah at the start! and on stream! I can't believe you never even said you had a sister." you spluttered out, followed by another gasp.

"Are you embarrassed of me?" you whispered dramatically.

"N-What no of course not!" he exclaimed, and you could also imagine how wide his eyes would have gotten.

You giggled before telling him that you were only joking.

"Um since sykkuno is embarrassed of me," you said jokingly, "I'll just tell you myself."

"I'm like five years younger than sykkuno, I'm a June baby, I do art, my star sign is cancer, I'm 5'4, I recently moved in with sykkuno, and my favourite colour is purple!"

"Oh is that why your username is junefarie? Because you were born in June?" asked Sean.

Before you could say yes, someone else cut in.

"Wait, junefarie?" asked corpse, "like the artist?"

Your eyes widened as you realised that he knew you. Sure you had quite a few followers, but you never expected any of Sykkunos friends to know you from there.

"Um yeah," you said letting out a shocked laugh, "I didnt expect anyone here to know about me."

"Dude, your art is fire!" he exclaimed, voice louder now. "I was honestly thinking of buying a piece soon, I've followed you for ages!"

"Wait, I wanna see as well." whined Rae, "Ima look you up, are you on Instagram?"

"Um," you said still shocked by the fact that somone this big knew you. "yeah I'm on instagram, its just junefarie." you said first replying to Rae, "Um corpse, thankyou so much! thats so nice of yo!"

"Um my art isn't that great yet," you chuckled, embarrassed by all the attention now. "I'm hoping to improve a lot more and I have a bunch of ideas for it as well. I'm hoping to work more now that I moved in with Sy."

"Oh my god, this is amazing," whispered Rae, Toast and Sean echoing her. You ducked your head even though no one could see you. Your cheeks were blazing hot and you pressed your hands to them to cool yourself down.

"Thankyou," you mumbled, not sure what to say.

Someone else entered the lobby, and said "hi" and you welcomed the source of distraction.

"Hi! I'm Sykkunos sister, y/n!" you said , wanting to move away from the topic of your art.

The reply of "sykkuno has a SISTER?" made everyone laugh, successfully moving the attention to Sykkuno and off your art. Finally Sykkuno started the game and you breathed as you lost yourself in the art of gaming.

"OH MY GOD!" yelled Rae as the game ended and everyone appeared in the lobby. "That was like amazing, Y/N I cant belive you pulled that off!"

She was talking about the last game where there was 50/50 between corpse and Sykkuno (because you refused to kill sykkuno when you were imposter) and you somehow managed to convince Sykkuno that it was Corpse.

"Honestly, neither can I!" you exclaimed back staring at your screen, eyes blurring the screen because of how tired you were.

"I can't believe Sykkuno," mumbled corpse. "I literally said I saw her vent and kill toast and Sykkuno was still like "hmmm, I don't think so."

Giggling at Sykkunos yell of "SHES MY SISTER" you yelled out a bye as everyone started leaving and then struggled to find a way to end the call.

"Wait, how do I end it," you muttered to yourself.

You jumped as Corpse talked, not expecting anyone to be there.

"You can see yoru name at the bottom left right? Its above that but a little to the right." he said chucling a little.

"Oh." you said, you cheeks heating up. You didnt know if it was because of him or because you were utterly useless with technology.

"Um thankyou," you said awkwardly.

"No problem."

You exited out of the call, a small smile at your lips.

Sykkunos friends were nice.

~

After the stream, your fanbase grew, and with it, the number of orders as well. For the next week, you were buried under orders, only leaving the house to go to the post office.

An Instagram post on @junefarie account: 

[ID: A photo of y/n and sykkuno standing in the middle of the living room, packages scattered everywhere. Y/n is hugging Sykkuno tight and Sykkuno is staring at the camera, a distressed look on his face.]

You flopped onto your bed, every part of your body hurting. Carrying boxes filled with orders down the stairs had tired your whole body, which wasn't used to any exercise at all. That had taken practically the whole day and then you had to clean your room because the mess from the orders had barely left any room to move. You flung your hand to the side, grabbing your phone from the table and bringing it up to your face. The "1:02" was clearly visible on your screen and you unlocked the phone, heading to Twitter. Scrolling through your feed, you liked a few tweets from friends before gearing yourself up and moving to the messages. Ever since you'd played with Corpse, Sykkuno and everyone, you'd been getting a lot of messages. Most of them were just the streamers fans, asking you if you know them or telling you to take care of sykkuno. There were a few though that targeted you, telling you that your art sucked, that they didn't know why Corpse could like my art. You'd taken to deleting them before sleeping so that your inbox wouldn't get cluttered and you could still find any serious requests or messages from your followers. Therefore, you didn't really think anything of it when there was another message from someone with a Corpse icon and you clicked on it only to see the message and gasp, immediately sitting up in bed.

Corpse_Husband → Hey, I was wondering if I could work with you on something? I really love your art and was wanting to commission or collaborate for an album cover or some merch designs. Message me on this number cuz I barely see my dms.

Underneath was a number.

"Oh my god," you whispered, unsure as to what to do.

When you had decided to drop out of college, you had expected hard days. You had expected your normal orders and mostly just improving your art and marketing it more. You had expected long days and not much money in the bank account. You certainly had not expected the immense amount of orders you'd gotten. Along with that, the amount of love and support had taken you by surprise and you had spent the last night crying because of how much love you and your art were getting.

You had also not expected such a big opportunity just landing at your feet.

Quickly you clicked on the number, putting it in your contacts with the name Corpse and then writing a quick message.

"Hey I got your twitter dm! I've personally never done art for merch or album covers but I would love the opportunity!"

You bit your lip, confused as to whether that was enough before deciding it was fine and just sent it.

Your heart beat a little faster as you slumped back onto the bed.

@junefarie Instagram story:

[ID: A zoomed-in picture of a drawing, the only part that was visible was curly hair. The text read: "Working on something SO COOL"]

~

Your phone was ringing. Stuffing the rest of the pizza in your mouth, you swept your hand over the covers of your bed, trying to find it. With a muttered "aha", you grabbed it and swiped on the call before it ended. Pressing the phone to your ear, you mumbled a "hello", still chewing the pizza bite.

A low rapsy voice came out of the speaker, one that you definitely didn't expect. You choked on the pizza, coughing out pieces onto the bed.  Sure you guys had messaged each other a bit (you kinda had to because of the commission), but you hadn't expected him to call out of nowhere.

"Um I hope this isn't a bad time," he said when you didn't respond for a second. Of course, he didn't exactly know that hearing his voice so close to your ear had you frozen for a second.

"Um no," you replied, coughing slightly to clear your throat. "It's fine! What did you wanna talk about?"

"Oh, um I know you're already working on the commission and its looking great! I can't wait to work with the merch team to create something really cool with it, but um-" he broke off for a second sounding hesitant. "I really wanna get another commission done as well."

"Oh?" you said after a second when he didn't reply. "I'd be happy to do another one for you!"

"Uh yeah, but I'm afraid that I might be a bit late, You see I was wondering if it could be done before Christmas?"

You sucked in a breath as you counted the days in your mind.

"Hmm, it depends on how big it is tbh. There's still 2 weeks to go till Christmas so I could fit it in," you mumbled, biting your lip as you remembered the onslaught of orders you still had to send out.

"Well," he started and you smiled a little as the excitement crept into his voice. "You know that Sykkuno, Rae, Toast and me are called the 4 Amigops right? I kinda wanted a portrait of all 4 of us, in our um among us colors, and I basically wanted to print it out and send to each of them for Christmas."

"Aww, that sounds like such a good idea, I'm sure they'll all love it!" you smiled, thinking about how much Sykkuno would appreciate that.

"Uh thanks," he mumbled, "do you think you can get it done?"

"Sure!" you replied immediately. You did have a lot of orders, yes, but like, you could fit Corpse in. If you pulled a few all-nighters. "I'll send you the sketches soon okay?"

"Oh thank god, thankyu so much for this y/n, I really appreciate it. Youre one of my favourite artists and I'm really happy that I could finally commisison you after so long."

"So long?" you questioned. "Since when have you known about my art?"

There was a moment of silence and then "Um, around the time you still posted your sketches and stuff I guess?"

You furrowed your eyebrows thinking for a second before letting out a gasp.

"Corpse that was 4 years ago!"

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, oh my god, I cant believe you've seen those, I was so bad then!"

"No no, they were really good at that time as well! I was so shocked when Sykkuno told us you were his sister because like, I'd been following you for ages and I had absolutely no idea. You guys are like really different."

"Hah yah, Sykkunos so soft, and then there's me. An actual devil."

"Your usernames so different as well! I remember when I first saw a picture of you on your account and I was kind of shocked because based on the name junefarie, I was expecting someone very soft I guess but then you were literally the opposite and wearing actual devil horns."

"Oh god, that was one of the first few photos I posted of myself. that was on Halloween I think,", you took a deep breath still shocked that Corpse had known about you for that long,

"Yeah, I chose junefarie because...”

It was 2 hours later when Corpse said that he should probably be working on his music.

"Oh I'm so sorry," you apologized, "I didn't mean to keep you,"

"Oh no, I um, I liked talking to you."

Your breath caught for a moment and you smiled like a lunatic at your Pokémon covered bedsheets.

"I liked talking to you as well," you whispered out, heart sinking a little as you realized the call would be ending soon.

"Um, do you, maybe want to stay on call? like I'll just be writing and we can just chill?" he asked and you felt like your prayers had been answered.

"yes" you said quickly, not giving him a chance to back out.

He chuckled, and you fell in love a little.

Just a little.

~

You continued like that, calling each other every few days, talking so much and then at times, not talking at all, simply content with each others company.

He had even started facetiming you, the first time with a mask and then the second without it. You hadn't made a big deal about it, but the first time you saw him, you could barely breathe.

There were five days left until Christmas when you got the idea.

You were entirely not subtle about it, because, well to be honest, there wasn't a subtle bone in your body.

"Hey Corpse, do you like surprises?" you had asked, in the middle of colouring Raes hair (her hair was the last thing left before you could finally print the goddamn thing)

"It depends," he had murmured after a second, voice sending shivers down your spine like every time. Now whether that was because of his voice or because of him, you weren't entirely sure.

"on what?" you prodded when he refused to answer.

"On whether its a good one or a bad one" he had huffed out.

You had hummed, waited for a second and then blurted out that next question because you did not have a cent of patience.

"So what are you doing at Christmas?"

"Sleeping, if I can manage it," he replied, his voice taking on a sardonic tone, eyes flicking to you on the screen. The only thing he could see though was the top of your head because you had your iPad on the bed and were laying over it as you drew.

"Not with that attitude you aren't," you replied right back, making a small smile appear across his face.

"Hmmm, okay!" you said when he didn't reply.

He looked back over, eyebrows furrowed and mouth opening as he started to question you.

"Hey did you see the video I sent you?" you quickly asked distracting him from his question.

He would probably guess the surprise but that was okay. You only wanted to make a smile appear on his face. And honestly, for someone with anxiety, a small warning of a surprise was definitely needed.

~

It was Christmas day and you woke Sykkuno up at 6 in the morning with the promise that you'd buy him McDonald's. 30 minutes later, you were both in the car, yelling the lyrics to "All I want for Christmas" at the top of your lungs.

You had told sykkuno of your plan a few days ago and he had smiled at you with that stupid smile, agreeing with a small "alright."

You'd immediately realised that he knew. Even though you pretended otherwise, Sykkuno was the older one and the thing about older siblings was that they always knew.

They always knew.

So there you were, snacks loaded into your car, McDonald's fries practically everywhere, and a cake you had made in the backseat, on your way to Corpses house.

There was a lull in the music, and you were only 30 minutes away from his place, butterflies fluttering in your stomach when Sykkuno asked you a question.

"You like him right?" he murmured, head leaning against the window, eyes closed.

There was a moment of silence as you thought about what to say. Did you like Corpse? Of course, you liked Corpse! He was funny, he was nice, he made you feel like you were the only person that mattered and your heart beat faster than ever whenever he looked at you. Hell, that was through a screen, in real life, it would probably be even worse. So of course you liked him! The question was, did he like you back?

"Yeah," you answered Sykkuno, eyes straight on the road.

A second passed and then he smiled. "Good," he replied. and well. That was that. You sighed.

At least you had your brothers blessing.

~

Pulling into the apartment building, you breathed in, your heart beating a million times a second and the butterflies in your stomach had turned into snakes. Maybe, maybe this wasn't a good idea at all. I mean, you expected Corpse to get the hint but what if he didn't? and what if he didn't want you to come? Maybe you were being too quick. After all, It'd only been a month since you'd met.

These thoughts plagued your mind as you trudged up the stairs, turning to Sykkuno as you reached the door.

"Maybe we shouldn't have come," you whispered to him.

He looked at you, eyebrows high, "We just travelled two hours to get here. There's no way im going back without at least giving him the print."

"What if he doesn't want us to be here?" you hissed.

"Then we'll go away." he stated, "after we give him the print."

"But what if-"

Before you could even finish your sentence, the door opened and you both jumped, turning to face the person standing in the doorway.

You forced yourself to breathe as you finally saw him. It was him. Wearing a black beanie, half his hair spilling out the sides, stubble clear on his chin... it was him. At that moment, there was only one thought in your mind.

You were gonna marry this man.

"You suck at whispering," he said, and you huffed out a laugh, jumping onto him without even responding. You wrapped your arms around him, not letting go until Sykkuno cleared his throat from behind you.

You turned back immediately, grabbing the stuff in Sykkunos hands so he could greet Corpse too. As they awkwardly did their handshake/fistbump thing, you walked over to the couch behind them, putting down the print and the takeaway bags, and putting the cakebox down on the table.

You turned around to see them both standing there staring at you.

"Surprise?" you said when no one else spoke. That broke the ice a little and you grabbed the print from the couch thrusting it at Corpse.

"Open it. Open it. Open it." you mumbled, your heart beating fast as he carefully ripped the paper off. The smile that overtook his face made your heart immediately calm.

"It's beautiful," he whispered, eyes roaming everywhere, trying to take it all in. Clearing his throat, he nodded his head further into the apartment, mumbling that he was going to put it in the room, eyes still on the print as he walked there.

"You smile is gonna blind me," muttered Sykkuno.

"Oh shut up."

~

A few hours later, you stood in the kitchen, putting the leftover cake into Corpses fridge. You had all chilled, eating cake and the takeout that you and sykkuno had bought, laughing every few minutes. It felt like you were all on an adrenaline rush. You had facetimed Rae and Toast, Rae shrieking when she realised where you guys were. Sykkuno had just fallen into a nap, still tired from being wakened up so early, you assumed.

You leaned against the kitchen bench, smiling as Corpse walked in.

"Thankyou." he said as he came to a stop next to you, matching your position.

"For what?" you mused, even though you had a good enough idea.

"For the print. For coming here. For making my Christmas, a much happier affair than it has been my whole life." he stated, chuckling at the last point.

You turned your head sideways, and you didn't know what it was, but something about his face made you spurn into action. You grabbed his collar, pulled him down, and kissed him before he could even say anything. It would be too cliche to say that fireworks erupted. And if you were being honest they didn't. Instead, it felt like everything was finally right. You fit perfectly in his arms as they wrapped themselves around you, and you smiled into the kiss as he lifted you up, making you sit at the counter. You twirled the hair at the nape of his neck with your left hand, taking a deep breath in as you both slowed down and pulled away.

"Well," he whispered, "that was unexpected."

You raised a single eyebrow. Honesty you'd done a lot for this relationship. You just drove for nearly 3 hours! If he wanted it to progress, he was gonna have to say it himself.

"But not unwelcome," he continued when you didn't speak. A moment passed, where you could see that he was psyching himself up to say something. Finally, with a heaving sigh, he whispered  "Darling, would you do me the honour of being called yours?"

You melted right there.

A nod was all he needed before he grabbed your lips with his again, both of you giggling when he accidentally hit the side of your mouth instead of the lips.

The sound of a picture being taken filled the air, making you spring apart and swing your heads over to the doorway, which had sykkuno leaning against it, his phone in his hand.

"Thank god. Rae and Toast bet that you wouldn't confess until after Christmas, so now they both owe me 20 bucks." he said, now fiddling on the phone. "Dont worry Corpse, I'll add a circle over your face or something."

Your mouth dropped open as you stared at your brother.

"You bet on my love life?" you scoffed, still shocked.

At his nod though, you swung off the bench, marching until you were eye to eye to him.

"I want half the winnings."

Rolling his eyes, he turned back to the living room, jumping onto the sofa.

"C'mon, let's watch one more episode before heading back," he said and you jumped in next to him, patting the space next to you as Corpse came in behind you.

You grabbed Sykkunos hand and squeezed it, letting him know that you were grateful that he didn't make it such a big deal. Leaning your head on corpses shoulder, you smiled to yourself.

You'd have to leave in 30 minutes, to drive back to your parents and spend the rest of Christmas with them, leaving Corpse behind. And that made you a bit sad sure, but it couldn't overpower the feeling of pure happiness at being here. At giving him a happier Christmas. You smiled as he pressed a kiss to the top of your head.

Nothing could overpower this feeling of absolute happiness.

[fabricated-misslieness]

I just thought of something. Corpse with a tall soft boi bf and Sykkuno with an edgy bf. I saw this otp prompt where person a wants to wake up person b with a kiss, but they stop a few centimeters away from their face out of embarrassment. Person b opens their eyes and says, 'If you won't do it, I will."

You can also do one of them introducing their bf to their friends, getting engaged, or just kissing and being cuties.

Oh, I like the idea of including the Among us group, like, Scott, Oli, Lizzie, etc...

Rfhsnzhbd

I hope that helps.

Corpse Husband and Sykkuno x male reader

So the Among Us group you mentioned, I have no idea what their personalities are and the only ones I can remember are Lizzie and Smallishbeans, whose name I don’t even remember. Anyway, just some fluff with OTV for Sykkuno and the prompt for Corpse.

Requested: Yes

Corpse Husband

He hasn’t been able to sleep over 3 hours for weeks, but you’d helped a lot. He was finally able to sleep for a ‘healthy amount’ of time, whatever that was. He’s proud about it.

You were still sleeping, though, of course. He knew you’d be proud too, but he didn’t want to wake you up.

You looked so peaceful, he didn’t want to disrupt that.

You also looked beautiful, he’s always thought you were beautiful, but now he got to stare at you without your teasing comments.

He wanted to kiss you. For once he wanted to initiate the kiss.

You shifted in your sleep, loosening your long limb’s hold on him.

He subconsciously let out a small whine from the loss of warmth, making him flush with embarrassment. He snuggled closer into you, which in turn, brought his face closer to yours.

He really really wanted to kiss you. Was that so bad?

He leaned in closer, stopping just an inch in front of your face.

He was kissing a sleeping person, there’s no consent in that. Like Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, he’s a creep kissing a corpse.

His face flushed red again, what was he thinking?

You opened one of your eyes lazily, scaring Corpse half dead.

“If you won’t do it, I will.” Your morning voice was so sexy, combined with that lazy look you were giving him, oh did it urge him more.

But also, he was embarrassed, caught in the act. You were awake all this time.

He was silent for a few seconds, enough time for you to decide you’d do it yourself. “Alright, I’ll do it.”

He let out a moan when your lips finally connected.

He was glad you were awake, if you were asleep he’d get no lip action. And damn were you good at this.

When you pulled apart, much to his dismay, you asked the question he was sure you’d ask.

“How long did you sleep tonight?”

“Over 3.”

You smiled brightly, leaning in for another, unfortunately shorter kiss.

“I’m glad.” You let out a small laugh and god was he mesmerized. “Proud.”

Thankfully, the kiss was only shorter so that you could say that. You leaned in for more kisses, maybe call them rewards.

They took his breath away, you took his breath away.

He pulled back for the air that you took, gazing lovingly into your eyes as he did. “I love you.” He muttered almost instinctively.

You brought your hand to cup his cheek and caressed his skin. He leaned into your touch.

“I love you too.”

 

Sykkuno

“Huh, you’re back.” Toast walked into the OTV living room to find you two cuddling on the couch.

You laughed while Sykkuno blushed.

“Not even surprised.” He walked past the both of you into the kitchen, looking for breakfast.

You continued scrolling through Twitter while Sykkuno watched.

It was morning so there would be plenty of people passing the both of you to get to the kitchen.

You’d probably chosen the most embarrassing spot to cuddle for Sykkuno.

“Goodmorning.” Lily greeted as she passed by. She didn’t even spare a second glance at you.

“Ah, goodmorning.” Sykkuno replied sheepishly. He snuggled deeper into you, as if was trying to hide. If he was, he was doing a poor job.

Though he didn’t ask to move, it was like he wanted people to see you two like this.

Michael snickered as he walked past, greeting you with a playful “Goodmorning, Sykkuno, (y/n).”

“Goodmorning.” Sykkuno replied. His face flushed in embarrassment, so he turned back to your phone.

He loved the simplest things about you, like your painted nails. People would call them edgy since they were both painted black and worn out. Well, people would call you edgy, with your baggy jackets, jewelry, and skinny black jeans.

It was something OTV teased him about, the soft boi + edgy boi combination.

“Goodmorning, Sykkuno.” Scares greeted as he walked by. It didn’t seem like he’d noticed you, somehow, seeing as you were big spoon.

“Go-Goodmorning, Scarra.” It was only when Sykkuno replied that Scarra realized.

“Oh, good morning, (y/n).” He greeted nonchalantly. He wasn’t surprised either.

Yvonne walked in a few minutes later, greeting you instead of Sykkuno. It seemed she hadn’t taken notice of the soft boy.

“You got my Starbucks?” You and Yvonne have this deal. Since you woke up early to visit Sykkuno in the mornings, you went to Starbucks for your coffee. Yvonne woke up later than you, so she asked you to get her Starbucks in exchange for her money.

“Yeah, on the counter.” You replied nonchalantly, eyes still reading through your Twitter.

“Thank you.” Yvonne sounded tired, probably because she didn’t have her coffee. When she did take a sip from it, she noticed Sykkuno in your arms. “Oh, hey Sykkuno.”

“H-Hey.” He replied.

She zoned out as she sipped from her coffee, but the thing was she zoned out while staring at you.

“You really are the opposites attract trope.” She remarked.

Sykkuno laughed nervously, “Don’t you need to go get breakfast or something?”

Yvonne laughed and turned around towards the kitchen, leaving the both of you alone.

Sykkuno sighed in relief.

“You want to move?” You asked, though you were sure of the answer.

Sykkuno shook his head no, replying immediately, “No, the couch is fine.”

You laughed, he really wanted people to see how lovey-dovey you were. Not even Lily and Michael do stuff like this.

Several minutes later, some people walked out the kitchen with their breakfast. They sat on the couch next to the couple, pulling up their phones and striking up conversations.

Usually they’d go to their rooms and eat alone, but you guessed today they wanted to tease Sykkuno.

Though how they were planning to do so, you didn’t know. They seemed to ignore the two of you. Except that made Sykkuno a little tense, he didn’t know when they were going to speak up or even if they would.

He settled on looking back to your screen to calm his nerves.

“You have to kiss your first @“ It read on the tweet. Oh, you were participating in this.

You began to reply with your first @, Sykkuno himself.

You pressed a kiss against the top of Sykkuno’s head, making him flustered and the rest of OTV laugh. They began their teasing comments, which you ignored as you composed your reply.

“@Sykkuno Just kissed the top of his head.”

Time for the Rust Twitch Rivals 2!!!

Since there is a limit on how much you can type in a tweet, I’ll rant my thoughts out in a tumblr post instead hehe

I don’t play the game myself, but I love watching it ever since Jae played in the OTV Rust server (the first one) last year. He was the one that introduced me to twitch and to all these streamers I’m following now. I only watch two active rust content creator though, they are the ones I vibe with the most; hJune and Hutnik.

The first rust event, dubbed as ‘Twig Rivals’, was kind of a disaster due to the spanish-speaking team displayed some questionable behavior. I still enjoyed it though since I was on June’s stream during the whole event, and he maintained the positive vibes throughout. I hope that this second event will go well and that all the players respect this competition 🙏🙏

The format is a bit different than the first one. This time there’s going to be 4 teams, 5 days, 40 players per team, a new custom map and an elimination based format. So a total of 160 players; 2 NA captains and 2 EMEA captains. 

Rust Twitch Rivals 2 - Announcement

Event details - Rules

The official list of participants have not been announced yet, but I’ve heard a few names being spoiled on a few streams (usually is themselves that are participating LOL). Many of them are streamers that I consistently been watching, that’s why I’m so excited 😄😄 I’m only interested in Toast’s team, since June is in it and a few EU rust players. Xqc/Mendo team, which is the other NA team, not so much.

UPDATE: June revealed the 40 teammates on his stream (5/8-22) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I will color the names of my favorite streamers and bold the ones I know of 😉

2ND UPDATE 6/8-22: Apparently June teams swapped two teammates with Willjum’s team, since they didn’t actually know them and to balance out the groups. So we got Nora and Mammoth on the team instead, which is good! Even I know who they are since Jae played with them before. Also Mammoth is from Poland so I’ve also watched a few duo streams of him with Hutnik. Two “noobs” got swapped but I don’t know which two. Let’s see tmr!

TOAST TEAM

Disguised Toast (captain)

hJune (June/Harrison/Hyunjoon; co-captain)

The rust “pros” (11):

blazed (seen him playing with June a few times, a troll LOL)

Wally1k (I think it’s this guy; never heard of him before)

hc4b (seen him duoing with June before)

Hutnik (from Poland and the only EU Rust streamer I’m following)

Trausi (OG rust player aka old man, from Poland)

BernE

Frost

Templetaps (the base builder for this event)

Rpold (doing the cloth farm for this event)

NoraExplorer (Nora; EU rust streamer from Denmark)

Mammoth (EU rust streamer from Poland)

The “noobs”:

JAE!!!!!! (eajParkOfficial; Yes, he is back on Rust! I had a clue since he was on June’s stream and said he was nervous about being rusty)

Ryan Higa (itsRyanHiga, yes, it’s THE Ryan from YT)

Baboabe (Abe)

Natsumiii (Wendy; our resident base mom from the last Rust event)

iiTzTimmy (Timmy; Apex god)

Shiphtur (Danny)

HyperRatTV (Escape from Tarkov streamer)

Masayoshi (John)

sleepy (ex pro overwatch player)

NiceWigg (apex content creator)

Zombie_Barricades

Ethos (valorant content creator from NRG)

Tarik (valorant content creator)

Symfuhny

MrLlamaSC (I think it’s this guy; never heard of him before)

SniperNamedG (G)

Wardell (former TSM valorant pro, Jae’s homie xD)

Michael Reeves

AnthonyZ (GTA RP - No pixel streamer)

Ray C (were a rust streamer before but switched to GTA RP)

5up 

Peter Park (now a 100T content creator)

Karma (content creator for Optic Gaming)

triciaisabirdy (Tricia; cooking streamer)

Crusader (I think it’s this guy; never heard of him before)

shofu

snuffy (vtuber)

UmiNoKaiju

Zealand

Even if we got two more “pros” on the team, I’m sure there are streamers that have not played Rust before (the ones I don't know about) and that’s a disadvantage. Especially if they don’t play any FPS games either. I now understand why Abe said that the other teams have try hards, meanwhile Toast’s team consist of friends LOL But I believe! Maybe those that are not familiar with the game can be farmers? Another concern was, will everyone play in the whole event? Especially the Valorant content creators since LQC is happening right now and for example Tarik is doing watch parties. We’ll see I guess.

We also got a little sneak peak of a special spot on the custom map for the competition. Looks cool:

June is also having a twitch drop as the co-captain of Toast’s team. The door skin looks sick! Since most of the bases are in stone before you upgrade, this door blends in seamlessly: https://twitch.facepunch.com/

I’ll be ready for the event tomorrow! Can’t wait!! 🙌🙌🙌

[doodlebloo]

speaking of long tubbo streams…this one was on the main but he spent 10+ hours streaming the otv ftb server and it was soo fun it was him and brooke just setting up his base and getting extremely geared out I miss it ☹️😭

I REMEMBER THATTT when she tried to explain what a burrito bowl was to him and he just fully was not getting it. That was so fun wtf!!! 😭

[terramobile]

it was nice to watch @ask-spiderpool 's art grow and evolve over time and watch as the narrative unfolds, and while i was already trans before reading, i did gain the newfound ability of club penguin pizza parlour music playing in my mind every time i blink :)

thank u for blog, sci. i appreciate u.

[j10kkuno]

Speaking of OTV and Friends content, they had a massive shopping meetup in LA yesterday! I only chose four photos but there are so many just from those I follow. It must be so nice to be able to meet up to shop together.

But the girls!!!! All the girls!!! There was Leslie, Rae, Brooke, Wendy, Lily, Celine, Janet, Yvonnie, Jodi, Sydney, Jaimie, and I think that was all. There was Peter, Toast, and Seanic for guys. Oh, wait, I think Brodin was there too. A ton of people was there. Very fun.

[dazenightmare]

hcs/fluff (idk the difference) about the other employees in the bookstore (other friends of otv) and worldbuilding (kinda):

pt 4/4

- whenever karens enter the store, the vibe of the store instantly changes. it feels like everyone is trying their hardest not to crack, either burst out laughing or rain hell on karen through their words. this feeling is worsened especially when they yell at sykkuno. no one dares stomp on their "little beansprout." first to his rescue is rae instantly telling karen off, speaking so frantically it almost sounds like she's barking. next is toast and poki, calmly teasing karen about how low her iq is or how basic and poor she looks. corpse, because of how much he loves sykk, may have planted a tracking chip in his work apron and always knows how sykk is feeling. so when corpse notices sykk is about to cry, he drops whatever he was doing and bolts to the neighbouring store to yell at whoever made him sad. if all of that doesn't work, they call on michael to use the karen as a test subject for a scrapped invention that still slightly works. after the invention is used, all the employees politely stare at the karen as they quietly leave the store. this normally works as it not only scares karen, it also makes them leave a bizarre review that when people ask employees about, they all just deny it happened.

I love them all

[literaphobe]

yeah i doubt dream cares about this enough to speak about it to sapnap (at least for his own sake) but sapnap could really use his own brain and realise that even in that fps hell mizkif is the bottom of the barrel

why can’t sapnap just befriend otv and friends people instead hes literally already buddies w john and jodi they play league a whole lot too…….

Music of the Moment

Music of the moment! Name your three current favorite songs (with reasons/descriptions, if you wish) and tag five people.

I was tagged by @endlessnightlock and @mega-aulover!

Thank you!

1. All I Ever Known from Hadestown.

My little sister finished reading "We Go Down" and she asked who I thought Iris looked like. Eva Noblezada (who Joni from "Again" is modeled after in the crew's photo) gives me serious Iris vibes so I sent her this song.

I also feel like this song kind of speaks to the couple in "We Go Down".

2. Ghost by Justin Bieber

Some people don't like Bieber but I don't think he's a horrible artist. I also really like the melody of this song.

Also, this music video is just *sob* in a hopeful way.

3. Shakespeare's Way with Words by One True Voice

During our honeymoon, me and Hubbs became obsessed with British boybands and OTV were one of them. Recently, Hubbs added this to our car playlist and now I'm singing it all the time.

Tagging @rosegardeninwinter, @taylerwrites, @mrspeetamellark, @mtk4fun, and @badnovels. Also anyone who wants to do this should!

[vwentibard]

mannnnnn the offlinetv drama.......... im so sad :(

fed's streams could always cheer me up when i was feeling down and needed a good hearty laugh... i hope he's able to move on and learn to heal the deep issues he has to face.

as for all the otv girls, my heart goes out to them and i am so proud of their bravery to speak out. this month has been terrible but also empowering in some ways... i'm glad that they hopefully will feel safer now and more at peace with him out of the house.

all in all, this is pretty upsetting for me tho ;-; im an otv junkie and it just breaks my heart to know this has all been happening while they wore bright smiles and kept going for their fans....
