Boredom: Season 0

Simps: Whitney

Yep, these guys.

  Yes, we know. The meme's dead and oversaturated, but I wanna talk about this.

  I remember earlier in my career as a streamer, my audience was just some legendaries, friends, and the occasional outsider, normally a Unovan or one from the Unovan-esque regions. Pretty tame, nothing much. Just some live stream of me (or my brothers) screwing up our runs in Portal, nothing else.

  After a few years, I'd figure I'll talk like I was a legendary as most of the community was just...legendaries...like us. So we did that for a bit and the reception was good. The non-legends were fine with our secret.

  Then, that interview came out and oh boy, we're people quick to track down what we were doing. My earlier audience were quick to warn about the possible incoming spam, but we still got it. We had to stop looking at the chat all together.

  Eventually, it became super annoying to beings with common sense so we had to put on a filter and at some point, shut down the chat. We didn't even have face-cam yet we were still roasted for our looks. I can see why, but you couldn't see us ffs, calm down.

Once the bandwagon died down, we finally did a face reveal. We normally use AnataRecord for streaming, but this time we mustered the will to make an actual video (video section for us was quite barren). Seriously, video editing is no joke.

Holy.

Fuck.

The chat for the next 5 months were just filled to the brim with simps. Hayan or Will could be streaming and they will ask about me. Your telling me you watched a 1-4 hour long stream just to bitch about my lack of presence?

  Ffs, just because there's a stream on our joint/team channel doesn't mean you can only watch our streams there, we have separate channels too! I feel remorse for who ever read the chat at the time.

Over time, the incels caught on and redirect themselves to my primary channel. Did my donations boost in numbers? Fuck yeah. They'll donate a ridiculous amount like ₽10000 (≈US$100) every stream per individual on average.

  You honestly can't believe how much financial aid that gave us. Instead of using my software engineering degree normally, I could've just make big buck simply by recording myself getting my ass kicked in Team Fortress 2!

  Over time, it was just ≈₽55000 per stream and the numbers stabilized. Sometimes, I'll be too lazy to set up my webcam that time and still get that average. It was just astonishing how dedicated my fanbase (or well, simpbase) is!

  Where did you guys get this money from? Are you really going to use it for me instead of rent? Are you actually willing to go homeless for me? Just please, don't invest that much in me. I don't need it that much.

  Why would they invest so much time and money in me? My voice isn't that appealing either, it's stupidly soft and deep & I had to get a specific mic for that. Maybe gameplay? Nah, I was kind of shitty.

  Then again, I'd say it was just above average. Appearance? Nah, I'm ugly as fuck. The only reason you'll somehow not see my dark circles is because of a specific lighting. If we somehow managed to keep a healthy lifestyle streak for at least a week, they'll be gone like nothing happened! Personality? I kinda doubt that. For real, I don't talk a lot on stream, so why?

  Are you guys just desperate for my attention? Romantic attention, sexual attention, emotional attention?

  I'm asexual & demiromantic, I stated that several times on my streams. Are you guys really that deprived of attention to the point where you want someone who's openly ace? And most importantly, hundreds of years old?

  You know you have no chance, but you still go for it! That's just reckless! How about spending that money on, I don't know, therapy, rent, your basic needs, you know. Your necessities?

  Around this point, you'll notice Valentines being a week away (at least here). I'm bringing this up to explain why we (especially our intersex siblings) have to remind everyone of our sex, gender, sexual orientation, and romantic orientation.

  We literally got the most creepy comments we when didn't do this in the past. We're living fucking beings, can you at least treat us like one? Just stop stanning us like we're images that always share the same views as you do.

We don't want any cult sacrifices for us, you dense, over-glorified apes.

  I'll say it once, and I'll say it again. No cult sacrifices.

  We had this stupid ordeal of people sacrificing their people for Arceus (whom I should add never mentioned beings must sacrifice one another for a "blessing") several centuries ago.

  We had this Giratina worshipping cult that caused mass-genocide years ago. For lord's sake, did any of you, any of you even asked Giratina if they approved of that? No, you did not. Most of us legendaries did not ask to be worshipped like a god. Just please, let us do our job and fuck off.

  Why are we sought after like we're gods? We're not even classified as one in the legendary community yet you guys treat us as one. We're just demigod dragons that descended from a slightly more divine being with an undiagnosed mood or personality disorder.

  No, Zekrom is not the god of thunder, that's Thundurus. Zekrom is the symbol of Yin who happens the wield the power of electricity. No, Reshiram is not the god of fire, that's Ho-oh. Reshiram is the symbol of Yang that is a pyromancer. Kyurem is just a symbol of Wuji.

Stop treating us like gods.

  I thought that cultist mindset would go away for us after it's decline for years, but now it's getting revived. The internet gives a voice to everyone. Even to those that should not have one.

  This over-obsession with literally any piece of media needs to be restricted. It's unhealthy, it's toxic, and it doesn't help anyone at all. Just. Stop.

  Yeesh, how hard is it to look at something else other than us? Just find a hobby and if your hobby is stalking our socials, find a new one. Take a break from the internet or something, read a book, anything other than obsessing over us. Just please, get a life. Use that free time for something else. I'll go start my stream now.
