digital evil

i have asked the best strm4 scholars on this planet for their opinions on this MOST important matter. and then i promptly forgot everything despite it being easily searchable.

if you want my honest answer, i'd start very slowly with a toe dip, aka watching the compilations. anything from arson is good of course. i'd say that's the starter ticket.

there's just way too much nuance in every joint strm they do together, if you ask me (which you did)! off the top of my head, the bread and fred one was great and is short enough to be a good starter as well. those old terraria ones are amazing for esoteric horny knowledge. the ancient strms of them playing shooters and going full cranky couple on each other are wonderful insight to their relationship beyond the camera. anything involving et4l is integral but a bit more advanced, because you get to see str become ornery and callous (and do you blame him? j moved without whisking him away instead). ^by that proxy, the w1ld3rmyth strm is also good, because str beelines for j and basically throws str1pp1n to the curb despite them being better 'friends' than str1pp1n is with j lmao

if you feel like you're advancing in your knowledge, the t f 2 reunion genuinely changed my life regarding They. the way str came on so strong for no good fucking reason is insanity. like he was just ovulating and made it everyone's problem. i think there's something to be said about j basically rebuffing him as gently as possible, like str is a dog that refuses to stop humping his leg. that's HIS emotional support faggot, tyvm ^oh and same goes for the Emb3r Kn1ghts strm. nonstop married action, with j kindanotreally rebuffing str for being too horny towards him

His public crashout over J's first girlfriend I started actively watching him around the beginning of 2023 so there might be moments/hints that I have yet to learn about. But of course since I started watching him he had some very VERY sus moments

One of the strongest Str hints about him being bi/gay/not straight is probably the "I was kissing boys" moment (tho it happened on accident), where he's quite tired and I think sleep deprived, his brain lags and he kinda indirectly slips up about his DA days saying his handle growing up was kissing boys... Cause at the time of making that account he was kissing boys. If you don't know about his gay DA account he had as a teen you can interpret this just as one of his usual gay ramblings but. he realizes what he said, gets flustered and very poorly tries to play it off, which just makes it even more sus. His little "Acting!..." is so painfully unconvincing, my poor sweet baby boy

There are few other moments that are really important and mean a lot to me, like Str posting bi pride flags in post-stream chat (after one of the great streams with J from 2023!) most probably during pride flag spam that happen at the end of streams sometimes :) og posts here and here so glad it was saved...

This one I think about a lot. He didn't have to post anything, or could have posted a regular heart or copy a trans pride flag message (since it was most probably flag spam and it's often all trans flag with some gay ones maybe, way less with bi or ace). But this was deliberate, he either typed bi flags here himself or copied this chat message with bi flags specifically. This is very important to me

And another one that I think about a lot is that one early 2023 stream where J raided Str, and Str acted all tsundere about it, compared himself to a devout catholic and J to God (...) talked about furries, dog toys and wearing muzzles while being on all fours ❤️. But in between all of that while talking about furries he says "Everyone is definitely a little gay, it's just where your line is" and he states that as just a fact. You could argue that (to quote one of his boyfriends (V1n)) he just says things, but I think you can clearly see he says it as just a true fact of life that he brings up to make a comparison. So, since he says everyone's definitely a little gay, he implies he is a little gay too :)

the raid happens around 2:54:00, and the "Everyone's a little gay" moment is at 3:15:30 Arson, our goat that I miss a lot made a strma yt video from that stream, you should check it out it's really good! It has J being all cute about Str and raiding him too :3 I love that stream and this video so much... again they are very important to me

The comments under that one are really on the nose lmao

in that spirit he also posted this image on discord lmao, og post here!
