๐ ABOUT ME ๐
๐she/her
๐ฃ grey-asexual & panromantic
๐ฑenvironmentalist
๐living in "Canada" *on Treaty 13 territory, the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples*
Between working a fulltime job and managing my mental health, I stream because it's an enjoyable way to get through my backlog.
I grew up on games thanks to [my brother](https://www.twitch.tv/shpooboo): watching him play, playing together, OR asking him to guide my playthroughs. I only started playing games on my own later on, so I'm in the process of catching up on titles old and new ๐
โจ ACCESSIBILITY โจ
- mental health is a big focus of mine and i'm passionate about accessible wellness resources, so I compiled [this document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r1PW6ve90ujm4knuqmgUdCqxV8V7BF0LyY-ItPDwCJ0/edit?usp=sharing) for anyone who could use it! if you're in crisis and need immediate support, find global hotlines [here](https://www.therapyroute.com/article/helplines-suicide-hotlines-and-crisis-lines-from-around-the-world) or if you prefer text-based support, try [imalive.org](https://www.imalive.org/)
- closed captions will always be available on my stream. live captioning is not perfect, especially with fictional names and if i am screeching/screaming/really excited. i will try to repeat myself if i notice something is super inaccurate, but please feel welcome to ask me to repeat myself at any time if the captions are super unclear.
- content warnings for the current roster of games can be found at any time by typing !cw in chat, courtesy of crowdsourced information at [doesthedogdie.com](https://www.doesthedogdie.com/).
- we launch into serious conversations sometimes, i will always do my best to pause and allow individuals who need to mute or leave stream the opportunity to do so
- being understood from behind a screen can be tough. to avoid misunderstandings in chat, feel free to use [tone indicators](https://www.grammarly.com/blog/tone-indicators/#:~:text=A%20tone%20indicator%20is%20a%20symbol%20or%20word%20used%20in,%E2%80%9C%2Fgen%E2%80%9D%20for%20genuine.). the more obvious, the better, as tone indicators are not universal or standardized unfortunately.
๐ RULES ๐
# the general stuff:
- **be aware of [general twitch etiquette.](https://cypheroftyr.medium.com/twitch-etiquette-some-things-ive-learned-b89c5ed51f5d)**
- **ultimately, this is my space.** i reserve the right to remove you from chat if you fail the ~vibe check~ at any point in your time here
- **no bigotry.** no racism, sexism, ableism, fatphobia, anti-LGBTQIA2s+ speech, etc.
- [**NO spoilers, NO backseating!**](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sfXuVRI1ubWLQDYZMtvYmR1LAEBL9Ijiod7Q9ETRyMU/edit) i am very strict about preserving the integrity & entertainment value of my first playthroughs
- **no spoiling ANY form of media!** you never know who hasn't gotten around to seeing/playing/reading something.
- **respect my moderators.** i chose them. unban requests are off.
- **18+ channel & chat** but do not share your exact age or talk about age at length, for everyone's comfort and safety.
- **be mindful.** neither chat nor myself can offer support for traumatic experiences or crisis situations. conversations around mental health may arise, but do not completely unload onto us.
- **English only,** this is sadly my only language.
# the specific stuff:
- **please use my given name to address me.** Lilija, Lily, & Lil are all fine.
- **donโt @ me in chat.** i read what i can and do my best to keep up. if youโre only here to get my attention, rather than enjoy the game or chatting with others, i donโt want you in my space.
- **no sexualization** of real people or characters & no sexual jokes.
- **no booty or gasm emotes** (except dittoDumper and similar emote styles)
- **no emotes of the frog** it's ugly and has been used for ugly things, more info [here](https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2021/03/28/pepe-the-frog-twitch-emote-ban-streamers-matt-furie/) & [here](https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/pepe-frog)
- **no discussions of weight changes or dieting.** period.
- **there is no need to announce that you are, or plan on being, intoxicated.** if you are under the influence while chatting, it is not an excuse for bad behaviour and therefore does not need to be mentioned.
- **this is not a "good vibes only" space.** we do not stand for toxic positivity. we're here to have a good time, however we do talk about serious topics when they arise and I make my stance on important topics known.
๐ฌ DISCORD ๐ฌ
# [The Meadow](https://discord.gg/n9uS6mBqtM)
this is where the community can further engage with each other, and where i share stream updates!
there are no expectations for engagement, share as much or as little as you would like & mute/turn off notifications as needed!
make sure to read the **rules and boundaries** upon joining the server. i have no qualms about removing folks who don't act accordingly ๐
