#stream buds

TONIGHT!! 7 PM CST

Stream Buds is debuting its first Stream on Twitch!! We’ll be playing OneShot!

We’re all so excited! We’ll be doing some voice acting and just having super fun commentary so hopefully we’ll see y’all there tonight!

So in Discord we were talking and then:

@huffle-dork : I kinda love the headcannon I read the other day that all the other egos are wary of Halloween like not scared but like cautious cuz- that’s antis time but jj that’s his birthday so he’s just like BAM pumpkins everywhere- obnoxious costumes, decorations everywhere!! We’re gonna breathe hallow’s eve gentlemen!!! Anti can pry Halloween from my cold dead hands I was born before him goddamn it!!!

@iv0ry-keys  HE WANTs TO MAKE THE HOUSE INTO ONE OF THOSE COOL ONES WHERE YOU WALK THROUGH ANd ITS ALL DECKED OUT 

And then me:

@huffle-dork is the creator of the Stream Buds Discord, and V is her sis~Days like these remind her why coming here is worth it, why going through everything is so, so worth it. 

Today there is no mind control. Today there are no evil darks chasing them, there’s no risk, no injuries, no terror and questions, and long, exhausting ends. Today, it is normal, or as normal as things can be here. It’s a good normal, considering the other normal it could be, so it’s worth it. 

An hour picking flowers from a garden that is never tended to, but always remains perfect, is worth it. Spending two hours carefully sorting through the flowers, pairing them up, and then slowly and carefully twining them together, is worth it. Traveling around the spacious house, never dusty or dirty but with no one cleaning it, to distribute the flower crowns is worth it. 

But the most worthwhile is seeing the surprise on her sister’s face, the way her eyes travel from Vanessa’s up to her own head. She sets down her pencil to gently touch the flowers, layers of pretty pastel greens and blues, soft under her fingertips. The smile that follows is radiant, so deeply genuinely grateful that Vanessa has to look down. She’s received these looks all days, but this is different. This is her sister, and her heart soars. 

“You always know how to make me smile,” Huffle says, and then pulls her properly into the library loft. 

She didn’t make herself a crown, so Huffle draws her one, intricate light lines and carefully folded edges. It’s beautiful, colored oh so carefully, and Vanessa is glad it’s made of paper. She can wear it over and over again, put it next to her things, hold it when times get rough. 

"How have you grown as a person being part of the channel?"

And

"Have you made any friends in the community? What are your favorite memories together?"

When I was younger, I always just felt alone. No other kids lived nearby, and I had a really hard time making friends. Around... 8th grade I think. I found Jack. It was around 9th grade when I started really watching his content. Since then, I've felt like I've been happier in general. Heck one of my happiest memories is going to the Dallas show of the tour with my dad.

Being involved in this community has made me feel like I really belong somewhere. I've found friends, family, and so much more here. Im not alone anymore.

As for friends, I'm happy to say there are a lot of people I've grown pretty close to in this community.

@huffle-dork I met you at Jack's show nearly a year ago, and Im so glad I did. Your art and writing inspires me almost every day and I'm glad to call you my friend.

Static is @phantomspirit14 ‘s dark persona, and Artza is a cat from the rps. 

The first firework went off and Schneep immediately knew he’d made a mistake. 

“Oh oh-” he floundered, unsure how to help, what to do to quell the quivering of her bottom lip, the tears gathering in her eyes. “Is okay, is okay- they are just fireworks, they can not hurt you.” 

His words didn’t do much, unfortunately, as Static burst into horribly loud body wracking sobs not a moment later. She flinched at each consecutive boom in the sky, huddling by Schneep’s leg as the light flashed around them and people cheered. 

“Is okay, is okay- shhhh, shhhhh.” 

Static wasn’t any ordinary child, but Schneep’s father instincts were kicking in. He bent down and scooped the little dark into his arms, turning on his heel to head back inside. The doors muffled the sound, but the big glass windows continued to shake, and so did Static. He bounced her on his hip, rubbing her back while she wrapped her arms around his neck tightly.

“To-t-t-t-too loud,” the dark whined. 

“I know, I know, I am sorry, I should not have brought you outside without a warning. We will stay inside, away from the fireworks, I promise.” 

Static didn’t respond, so Schneep just found a seat and cradled her in his arms, allowing her to cry on his sweater. He thought she’d calm down eventually like his child had, but Static only got more and more upset as time went on. She was exhausted, but no further to settling down than before.

One of the fireworks exploded outside, forming the bright green image of a cat face, and Schneep got an idea. 

“There is someone else who does not like fireworks,” Schneep began, standing up carefully and crossing to the stairs. “I think she would like some company.” 

“Wh-who?” 

“Is a surprise, you will see.” 

They stopped at Schneep’s bedroom door, where it was significantly quieter. He slipped in carefully, quick to close the door behind him before his mischievous pet tried to escape. The windows still rattled, but Schneep had taken the precaution to reinforce them earlier. 

Static lifted her head, looking around curiously while sniffling and rubbing her eyes. She didn’t see anyone, what was Sheep talking abou-

“She is probably hiding, we can wait for her to come out.” 

Static refused to let go of Schneep, and the doctor didn’t mind, just turning to lay on his side on his bed so that Static would be on the covers and more comfortable. Minutes passed, the septic softly humming to himself while he waited, and Static only stewing in her confusion. 

A sudden mew brought her attention to the side of the bed, and then a weight over her head on the pillow. 

“Art!” 

“Yes, Artza does not like fireworks either. Too loud for her, so she hides.”
