Post-hiatus streamer here to serve **veritable VARIETY**: games, art, advice, storytime, singing; lectures, learning, reading, etc. >🕹️ Strong preference for indie (/weird/pretentious), & switching genres often. Rarely play AAA games & new releases. >🕹️ YEA: experimental, surreal, 'artgame', cute, puzzle, action-adventure, platformer, horror, rhythm, story-rich, visual novel (vn), word games >🕹️ **SEE GAMING PROFILE EXTENSION AT THE BOTTOM FOR MORE INFO** > I stream ... ... to show different sides of myself to existing Twitch friends; to curate a very **specific** kind of space; and to meet future friendos (maybe you??) who are rather like-minded.

Queer kooky tanuki (/cat/idk) in their 20s: >🐾 Like the mythical durian fruit, I am stinky & spiky on the outside, but sweet & silky on the inside. You can call me 📣[Clarion](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/clarion#Pronunciation) or 📣Durian. >🐾 Besties describe me as: curious, creative, spontaneous, passionate, adventurous, honest, more concerned with concepts / possibilities, & weird *ᵃᶠᶠᵉᶜᵗᶦᵒⁿᵃᵗᵉ. >🐾 Enemies describe me as: nosy, nutty, impractical, reckless, blunt, intimidating, neurotic, navel-gazing, & weird *ᵈᵉʳᵒᵍᵃᵗᵒʳʸ. > Or: Despite the pseudoscience: **INFP/ENFPs** are besties, iNtuitive types are usually good, and I struggle to get along with strong Sensor types.

/ aspirations for myself & chat >🎯 **Be kind / vulnerable, be intelligent / witty, or be unhinged / interesting** >🎯 Puns, ad-libs, advice, storytime >🎯 Queer, chaotic, cursed, absurd, tomfoolery, tender, dry/wry, flirty = good >🎯 Ambiguity, contradictions, extremes, whiplash = might happen >🎯 References/interests range from Roxxxy to Rhys, Martí to Maplestory, SeaSalt to Saussure >🎯 ᴵ'ᵐ ᵗᵒᵒ ⁿᵉᵘʳᵒᵈᶦᵛᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᵗ ᵗᵒ ᵉⁿʲᵒʸ ᵃ ʰᵘᵍᵉ ᵃᵐᵒᵘⁿᵗ ᵒᶠ ˢᵐᵃˡˡ ᵗᵃˡᵏ - ᴵ'ᵈ ʳᵃᵗʰᵉʳ ʰᵉᵃʳ ᵃᵇᵒᵘᵗ ʸᵒᵘʳ ᵈᵃᵈᵈʸ ᶦˢˢᵘᵉˢ ᵗʰᵃⁿ ʷʰᵃᵗ ʸᵒᵘ ᵃᵗᵉ

- This is a queer so¢ialist space. - This is not an escapist channel. Contentious & serious topics are allowed, but only with due forethought and nuance, and NOT for new chatters. - No monologuing / using chat as your Facebook wall... unless you're really funny. - I don't welcome expressions of instinctive disgust (e.g. "ew that food looks gross" or "wtf is this game") or rage. Learn to sit with discomfort sometimes. - Good spelling & grammar is appreciated; I'm quicker to assume wordplay over error. (Dyslexics/etc are exempted) Twitch-typical type of rules: - I use [they/themself](https://en.pronouns.page/they/them/themself) pronouns. She/her is also fine. He/him is not. - Some horny is ok (**unless stream title says otherwise**) towards those you know are ok with it. Know how to test the waters, even with me. - No bigotry, stubborn ethnocentrism / nationalism, nor anything adjacent to systematic oppression. Also no sl*tshaming and toxic masculinity. - Avoid: rants, self-deprecation, whining, excessive swears, links, spam, sudden trauma-dumps, self-promo. - Alt accounts frowned upon (makes modding hard). - 21+++ strongly preferred. If you're 18~20, you can still be here, but remember there's a fine line between acting silly and acting immature. - Don't ask about mod actions (e.g. timeouts) in chat. - Occasional use allowed: **español, português, 华语, 日本語, Esperanto** (+some secret ones). There's a lot! I know! The plan is to be stricter now until the channel / chat is more developed, and then relax the rules. I'm also still figuring out which rules I truly need.

- "do you actually like eating durian" YES. - Please NEVER feel obliged to follow me back. The interest has to flow *both* ways here. - Secret 1: if we're friends, you may call me Seedy to grab my attention. - Secret 2: if you're trans/nb, you may alternatively call me Claire - Secret 3: if you're from Down Under, you can call me Clario - Secret 4: leniency to rules might be granted to Twitch friends, oops. - Donos / tips / Throne: not accepted at the moment until I improve my channel more because I'm a perfectionist lol. - "ᶜˡᵃʳᶦᵒⁿ ʸᵒᵘ ᶜᵃᵐᵉ ᵗᵒ ᵐʸ ᶜʰᵃᵗ ᵃⁿᵈ ʷʰᵉⁿ ᴵ ᵃˢᵏᵉᵈ ᵗʰᵉᵐ ʰᵒʷ ᵗʰᵉʸ ʷᵉʳᵉ ᵈᵒᶦⁿᵍ ᵗʰᵉʸ ʲᵘˢᵗ ᶦᵍⁿᵒʳᵉᵈ ᵐᵉ" ʸᵉᵃʰ ᴵ'ᵐ ⁿᵉᵘʳᵒˢᵖᶦᶜʸ ᵃⁿᵈ ᴵ ʰᵃᵗᵉ ᵃⁿˢʷᵉʳᶦⁿᵍ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᵠᵘᵉˢᵗᶦᵒⁿ ˢᵒʷʷʸ ᵘʷᵘ - yes you can bully me into streaming more - I pronounce it as ~/ˈklɛ:ɹɪən ˈdju:ɹɪən/

Bonus lore: >🐾 I've spent the majority of my life in S. E. Asia (& W. Europe), but have also lived for short periods in 🗾, 🇲🇽 & 🇧🇷. In total I've been in 15+ countries, many as a gritty backpacker. >🐾 Cool things I've done include: writing plays, learning Aztec (Nahuatl), playing the tuba, living with cockroaches, graduating from one of the oldest universities, owning a cat (update: he died 😶). >🐾 Not-so-cool things I deal or have dealt with include: depression, anxiety, disordered eating, gender dysphoria, slurs spat in my face, SA/PTSD. You can confide in me about these things if you're a regular! >🐾 Life's been a mixed bag. I'm actually in my 'broke and mentally ill' FLOP ERA right now. Unbelievable
