Hello, I’m Dee! I play/stream video games on the internet and talk about various things! I love puns, singing at random, and a warm tea.
🎮Twitch:
📸Instagram:
I don’t care if a game is over 20 years old.
If there is a “no spoiler” tag, a command, and/or it’s a first play-through don’t be the jackass spoiling things for other people.
Be respectful.
I for one am excited that raiding with a community of my size means I can help my friends who want Twitch Partnership get it. 🤷♀️
Someone else having an “easier” path to success doesn’t take away from what you personally accomplished.
Celebrate other people’s wins.
There is someone who DM’s me every single day to tell me to fix my Twitter bio.
I love that we’re approaching a month now and they haven’t realized that I never will, specifically because it bothers then so much.
TW: death
Hi.
Receiving a lot of messages across multiple platforms asking where I've been.
My father passed away on Monday so streams are on hold until further notice while I spend time with family and get into the headspace to entertain again. I'm okay. ♥️
I announced this during a broadcast last month so it isn’t exactly huge news but...
Yes, I’m creating a stream team completely focused on creators living with invisible illness.
@eyesonbee
@chillinwith_dev
Not to mention so many of us live with chronic illness, I had surgery last year. I couldn't imagine losing my checkmark because my health kicked my ass for several months.
Just a friendly reminder that for those us living with chronic illness/autoimmune disease - nothing is ever guaranteed. I have to cancel plans all the time. I cancel streams all the time. My illness is unpredictable, it’s nothing personal.
Here’s a 🧵because in a vulnerable moment I want to focus on gratitude.
If you’ve visited, lurked, etc. my stream this month, I really appreciate you. Thank you.
It’s been incredibly hard to navigate the fact that my disease is literally attacking my brain, I’ve had to adapt.
Sorry but not really sorry in advance to anyone who dislikes me.
I go full time officially tomorrow with streamin’ and you’re about to see me everywhere all the time. 🙃
Applied for Twitch partner yesterday so excuse me while I go crawl into bed and see if I wake up to find this isn’t actually my life with the most supportive community in the laaaand.
Ended stream in tears last night because it’s incredibly frustrating to feel so defeated by my own body. I hate that I’ve been unable to work or live a normal life this month.
Thankfully today begins an aggressive week of medical intervention. ✌️
New beginnings, we hope.
Please don’t point out nervous tics/behaviors when you’re watching a broadcast.
Yes, I touch my hair a LOT. Talking to hundreds of people for 6+ hours while multitasking is nerve-wracking.
Stop throwing unsolicited medical advice around.
I’ve got over 30k in medical debt from trying to treat my illness.
I’m also a nurse. I’d NEVER tell anyone about “cures” and/or assume their medical history. This just happened to me this week while live and I’m still disgusted.
Someone once told me I’d be a more successful content creator if I focused less on the Final Fantasy franchise.
I’ll say what I didn’t have the nerve to say then:
Get rekt.
I have to get a tattoo if we hit $12,000 raised for the Lupus Foundation of America this weekend on my streams. I said this was impossible.
We made $7010 in ONE DAY.
F-
I am all about helping other content creators improve their content.
I figured the best way to improve
@JinRayy
’s stream was to add
@The_Ben_Starr
and myself during his XVI playthrough.
Improvement? Yes?
People in the past have complained that I'm hyping up my charity event too much.
So allow me to continue to hype up the charity event May 5th-7th for
@LupusOrg
💜
Your lurks, raids, retweets, likes, etc. that weekend all support the cause. It's so appreciated.
It’s cool if you want to post selfies with copious amounts of photoshop/Facetune.
It’s also cool if you post pictures of yourself with filters on them.
Whatever makes you feel good, idk. But sometimes, I just want to see an unedited face on my feed.
Can we start a thing?
I have a lot of love for Final Fantasy II.
Been thinking about it a ton amidst all this “what makes a Final Fantasy a Final Fantasy” discussion.
2 showed us that these games were not going to be the same. They were always going to experiment and try new things.
Today marks my final day as a full time nurse. I’ll be moving to per diem & becoming a full time content creator.
The fact that this is even possible and that I’ll be able to put my own health first still doesn’t feel real.
March 1st = 1st full time stream
12hr party! 3pm EST
I’m slowly coming out of the worst bout w/ depression I’ve had in years. I hadn’t been responsive to emails, texts, DMs etc.
It’s easy to look at someone broadcasting and think “they’re just saying that” but for some of us, diving into one part of work is a coping mechanism.
Last week I lost my vision and had no control of my right arm.
It was a Lupus flare that manifested in all neurological symptoms.
GOTEL is more important to me than ever.
Please show us support. Your lurks, raids, donations, and social boosts matter. It all helps SO much. 1/2
I had been feeling very down for awhile because I was losing my hair at an alarming rate (autoimmune disease related). I was told “it’s just part of living with lupus.”
I kept searching. I finally found a doctor who was willing to try.
It’s not 100% but major improvement.
To all my fellow invisible illness warriors- I appreciate you. I see you. I understand.
I had to end my stream abruptly yesterday. Despite sharing how much I was struggling, a vocal minority couldn’t respect that and I felt so defeated.
It’s not easy for us. 💜
We’re trying.
Full transparency, my mental health is the worst it’s been in a while.
I’ve been consulting my DR’s, we assume it’s a combo of grief, water retention & lack of exercise (last two being recovery/surgery related)
I’m not disinterested in your streams, I’m just struggling atm 💜
The pressure on content creators to not take time off is so horrific.
I’m agonizing about potentially cancelling another stream because it means a full week off and away.
If you follow me for my spiteful energy/ you’re in for a treat.
Earlier this week my neighbor complained about my cat meowing at 8am.
Today I’ve been practicing MY meow.
I’m still in disbelief that today is even happening.
@SquareEnix
was kind enough to gift me Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth early and we got to stream it on YouTube today! (AKA cry through a few hours of gameplay)
It’s so good ya’ll 😭
Y’all aren’t ready! Thank you Square Enix!
This is so heccin’ cool.
This is what motivates me. I love not letting this disease win. Fighting back forever. 💜
@LupusOrg
Thank you for giving me the platform to make this happen, thank you for generosity.
Every time I see a “must be nice” or “I don’t even have viewers” sort of negative response to someone else’s celebratory post...
I...
Just think to myself “pls stop”
That’s all.
Big thank you to
@NintendoAmerica
for inviting me to play Super Mario Party Jamboree AND The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on Friday!
I’m so grateful! 💚
I can’t wait to tell you all about it! Videos soon!
#freeaccess
I want to cry.
I can't believe our charity event is tomorrow.
This weekend? Your lurks, raids, donations, and social engagement can help us find a cure. Lupus is a monster and it's time to end it.
I keep getting asked so I’ll post this here and hopefully clear up any confusion.
Little 🧵
I had to stop my FFXVI playthrough for the time being. Unfortunately as the game progressed, I found the lighting, battle/spell effects and motion blur to be really troublesome.
If everyone could be patient with me for the next few weeks that would be cool.
I had surgery on Mon, told to stay on bed rest for 2 weeks, trying to still work from bed on limited resources.
Post op fatigue is hitting hard. I’m stressed and having a hard time keeping up. 💜
I know this is an earth shattering revelation, but I was once a Twitch affiliate too. For two years, in fact. So sarcastically saying “Yeah ok, partner.” when I’m trying to explain something growth related makes you look like a crusty butthole.
Incredibly excited to announce that you may see me on the Twitch front page shelf and carousel all month long!
Honored to be one of the highlighted creators for womens history month!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Anxiety is a bully and I’m feeling forgotten, irrelevant, and completely not myself this week. I’m also on the sleep deprivation train which is just fueling all of that so just asking people to have increased patience with me right now. 💜
Sometimes an invisible disease likes to not be so invisible.
I could’ve tried to cover my skin with makeup or just stream through it rocking a butterfly rash. But self-care is on the menu instead tonight.
Adore you all, I’ll be back for some Final Fantasy VII tomorrow.
Hi. A lot of us in nursing are dealing with burnout- specifically COVID burnout.
We don’t get a “holiday” away from it.
Do your part and don’t hand us additional stress right now.
I did a simple instagram Q&A and an overwhelming amount of comments are about my weight from XVI event photos.
I talk about my disease daily and how it effects me. For what it’s worth, I love my body no matter what.
If you’re being body shamed, you’re not alone. Screw ‘em ❤️
I spent my birthday night in the emergency room because Lupus doesn’t care what day it is or what you’re celebrating.
We’ve raised over $38,000 to fight the disease this month and I won’t give up.
Donate here to fight with me:
I’m going live tomorrow to discuss where I stand with streaming and how it fits into my life going forward.
A lot has happened in the past few weeks. I’ve got a lot of feelings that I kept buried as I processed.
Time to work through it all and move forward with a plan. ❤️
Hey friends! It’s charity day! My event starts at 2pm est but I’ll be live with the friends over on
@feliciaday
’s channel for a bit first! Come support
@LupusOrg
!
New kitty alert!
Evander here is a sweet boy who struggled to find a home previously due to medical issues with an unfortunate prognosis.
We’re going to do our best to give him the most loving, supportive & comfortable home possible for the rest of his days.
My birthday is in May and the greatest gift you could give to me is liking/sharing this tweet so everyone knows that I'll be live raising money for
@LupusOrg
May 5th-7th.
We'll be giving away AWESOME stuff for every $500 we raise! So YOU get presents too!
It costs 0 doll hairs to be nice.
You never know what someone is going through when they pop into your chat. 💕
Shoutout to
@3llebelle
for always being a cozy safe space on a tough day. 10/10 human being.
Tonight I had front row seats to Distant Worlds that I had been looking forward to for MONTHS.
Instead, I’m at home in my bed.
Lupus has taken yet another piece of joy away from me. It might seem like just a concert to some, but anyone who knows me knows it’s more than that.
I’m not in a great place mentally right now and I believe it’s negatively impacting my live streams. I’ve been trying my best to push through a really stressful time where I’m feeling a lot of upheaval and change, but I know the community can always tell.
Lil’ late night 🧵
I wasn't going to share yet another negative experience, but seeing a lot of "is it really that bad?" pop up during this discussion about being a female gamer/streamer. So...
