##My name is **Lydia**, and I'm a pretty new gamer.
My first game was **Xenoblade Chronicles 2** on the Nintendo Switch. Since then, I've played a lot of catch up! Join me on my journey. 😊
I'm just a silly cookie who loves cute things, romance, cats, and a banger story. (Especially fantasy) I'm very easily startled and often channel my inner bird, so don't be afraid to SQUAWK along :)

##I'm happily married to the love my life @MeekRhino (Tristan)!
Together we have four cats.
**Buttercup** is the orange tabby-- she's "my" cat and loves to interrupt stream.
**Beatrice** is black and fluffy-- she is "Tristan's" cat but has warmed up to me and will often ask for pets just outside of the camera.
**Cinder and Smokey** are the newest addition to the family. They are brothers and all grey. **Cinder** has short hair and loves to snuggle with his face in mine. **Smokey** is a scaredy cat but occasionally will say hello for some pets.
The Button Jar and Squawk Squad are an **18+** community that embraces being __silly, loud, and a little bit lewd.__
##This is an inclusive space
> We have no tolerance for racism, homophobia, or other discrimination. Black Lives Matter. Trans Lives Matter. Love Is Love. We're here to spread love & joy, not hate.
##Lewd not rude
> Please don't sexualize me, Tristan, or others in chat without their consent.
##Please no trauma dumping!
> While we strive to be a supportive space, please keep in mind that the chatters and I are people with their own off-stream lives and trauma. Kindly keep heavy, potentially triggering topics to the [**discord**](https://discord.gg/meU4ea7) support channel or streams where we've established a safe space to openly discuss.
**I like games with a fun environment that encourage exploration of the lore and story! You'll often catch me playing a metroidvania, rpg, or cozy simulator with a fantasy setting <3 Oh, and I play a lot of APEX LEGENDS.**
##Currently Playing / Coming Soon
